Nobody But You by Algebra Blessett
Lovers,
I don’t know if any of you know what it feels like to belong to one man in mind, body, and spirit. Algebra captured the essence of it in her song. It resonated with my soul as I listened to her describe how I feel. You don’t want another person touching you when their touch is all you crave. You don’t allow others into your head because others will not understand why you talk and he listens. We live and love through music that’s why I share the tunes that go with the stories.
But today I dedicate this one to my Boaz because it’s how I feel baby!
Fedora loves you. Peace
Boy, listen
Everybody can’t be in my head
Everybody can’t sleep in my bed
Everybody can’t be up in my face
Everybody can’t be all in my space
Now I might fuss a lil’ bit, curse a lil’ bit
You know this, yeah
But if you trust a lil’ bit
You gonna get one hundred percent
I don’t want nobody but you
Don’t want nobody touching me, baby
But you
Don’t want nobody kissing me, baby
But you
Don’t want nobody loving me, baby
But you
But you, you, you
Everybody won’t understand my journey
Everybody won’t know how it heal what hurts me
Everybody can’t be written into my story
Just because they want me don’t mean they ready for me
Now I might throw a lil’ fit, talk a lil’ slick
I do this, yeah
I’m willing to go on and admit it that you a perfect fit
Baby, you the shit
I don’t want nobody but you
Don’t want nobody touching me, baby
But you
Don’t want nobody kissing me, baby
But you
Don’t want nobody loving me, baby
But you
But you, you, you
Never mind what you thought, you were in my heart
Never mind what you think, you were in my dreams
Never mind how it seems, you’re my everything
Never mind
I don’t want nobody but you
Don’t want nobody touching me, baby
But you
Don’t want nobody kissing me, baby
But you
Don’t want nobody loving me, baby
But you
But you, you, you
I don’t want nobody but you

The Spark of Love
The spark
Fires suddenly
Her heart speaks
His heart responds
The love
Comes quickly
They connect
They breathe
The sigh
Escapes quietly
She cares
He knows
The fire
Rekindles fiercely
Her passion
His strength
The bond
Strengthens purposely
Her to him
Him to her
“Hard for Me” Leela James
Lovers,
My topic is making love hard. What I mean is that not every one can embrace love, thus making it hard for them to receive and give love. It doesn’t mean they don’t feel the love but usually there is some block from a past hurt that keeps them from fully loving and being loved.
This song reminds me of such a relationship. I like Leela’s approach because she’s not being pushy but lovingly stern about how much she will endure for love. Awesome song. Enjoy!!
Fedora loves you. Peace
Let Love Rain
You want me to hate you
Because you hate yourself
You purposely hurt me
Just to hurt yourself
Why won’t you
Receive the love
You so desperately crave
Instead of throwing it away
Our hearts know
How we love
Just like we are
In heaven above
We were born
For this moment
Of bliss
Our love twisted
Around so much
Always a sweet kiss
Love more
No more pain
Let’s settle in and
Let love rain
