Part Of My Life

India.Arie · Acoustic Soul [2001]

Can you be a part of my life

Can you be a part of my life



Oh it's easy to find someone to play with

Almost anyone will do to fill your idle time

But that very special someone who can

Share all your dreams

Well it's so hard to find



And you could be likely to settle for the physical

But these days it aint too easy to make up my mind

Cause apparently your body's just a temporary

To take up my precious time

(Bridge)

I got to know that

That I can be free with you

You got to show that

That you're worthy of my time

Can you stimulate my mind

(Chorus)

I know that it looks good but

Can you be a part of my life?

And I'm sure that it feels good but

Can you be a part of my life?

And it probably even tastes good but

Can you be a part of my life

I've got to know

Ohhhh



I still appreciate the beauty of a man

But there's more to what I need now

Than what meets the eye

And if beauty's only skin deep

Then your pretty skin won't send me

To my highest high



It's been a long time comin'

For maturity

And I believe that

It's truly what it has to be

Cause as much as I admire you

My sexual desire

Ain't controlling me



Hey-ey-ey-yeah

(Bridge)

(Chorus)



(Repeat chorus)



Can you be a part of my life?

I got to know that

Can you be a part of my life?

I got to know that

(Repeat to fade out)
