Pleasure Before Pain - J. Rawls, Eric Roberson

There was pleasure then pain

All that remains is the bad and the sad

Cause there’s so much we had

Besides all the tears

Squashed away years

I long for the days

The comfort

It never stays

I hold onto memories

But I try to hold onto you

(You)

Said I wanna hold on to you

(You)

I’m tryin to hold on to you

(You)

Baby girl just you

Yes yes just you

Don’t know where we went wrong

(We went wrong)

Was good when we started

Then things got retarded

And

Left us broken hearted

And

Did we carry on too long

Said we started as lovers

So good under covers girl

Did we keep love above us girl

Now even when you’re near

(When you’re near)

I keep fellin resistance

Like your heart is a distance

Of A way when we couldn’t stand to be away too long

Too long

Too long

Too long for these embraces provided

Oh how I hate how we hide it Now

I sit here and desire it now

More and more

Can we give it one more try?

One more try

Revisit the moments

When your thoughts were the warmest

Oh If I had it back I would hold you so dear to me yeah

Dear to me Realize I was lacking all the time and respect

That is So essential to have us here

So let’s place these memories away

Memories away

Let’s work on the future

Take a peace that will suit your needs

Every step is a mood to please

Ohh I just want to love you the right way

Give you all that you’re asking

New levels of passion

Let the past be the past

And just enjoy what you have

And

The words that you heard

Ain’t just for your ear

They’re aiming at your heart

To push fear to the rear

And

I’m looking for the love that used to be there

It was so special

Special

So special

That’s why I be focused if trouble begins

First and foremost you are my best friend

And I am for real, no need to pretend

Let’s be careful, careful

Careful, so careful

Ohoh ohohohohhhh
