Love Story

It's from the heart This is from the heart right here, yeah Everybody has a story to tell Check this out though, girl I knew this Chinese dude in junior high, part of my crew Everybody knew this kid, he was the talk of the school Intelligent and well-spoken, respected by teachers All the other students kept they eyes on his sneakers What can I say, you can tell he's cool if you talk with him During fire drills girls would wanna walk with him He could have any chick up in his view But there was only one girl he wanted to call 'Boo' See it's all true found himself stressed in a dead end The girl he was feeling was obsessed with his best friend His best friend's a playa that's the reason he's pissed Plus he treat her like she don't even exist He ain't tryna hate on his man but there was no help in it Wrote the girl a letter told her how he felt in it She was shocked at first for him revealin' the truth Until she realized that she was feelin' him too Oh, I've been thinking of you Oh, I've been thinking of you Oh, I've been thinking of you And you've been thinking of me, oh Yeah, so you know as time goes by Things get a little more serious, just listen It was strictly hip-hop now they bumping slow jams all day Went from holding hands to making out in the hallway Their relationship seemed like a dream come true As time went by their friendship grew Staring at the stars, trading secrets on the phone When her parents were at work, she would sneak him in her home He told her he was a virgin, the day that they met So on his birthday he got a gift he'll never forget Females were jealous but they still calling them cute First day of summer school they rocked the matching Nautica suits Happy in each other arms, can it be? They found true love living in a fantasy Then reality attacks, his pops couldn't see past the fact His son was Asian but his girlfriend was black Imagine having to choose between the one you love and your fam That's like cutting off your right or left hand damn Oh, I've been thinking of you Oh, I've been thinking of you Oh, I've been thinking of you And you've been thinking of me, oh Yeah, I know this sounds like a true story Coulda happened to any one of us, it's crazy though right? Check it Now if this sounds like a true story, that's pro'lly 'cause it is And I know for a fact 'cause I'm that Chinese kid Looking back now I know it's more than just a crush I'm saying the whole experience taught me so much Love can overcome anything that gets in its way That's the reason I still think of shorty till this day We talk now and then, she's doing her thing We both all grown up, I think she's rockin' a ring I know she's proud of me and all the things I've accomplished She was there when I was nobody that's being honest Ain't no shame, I'll admit it she was there when I cried So in return, I wiped the tears from her eyes As far as my pops, he's a little more open minded If his son is happy he's 100% behind it How this is a song, I knew I had to do 'Cause all this stuff I went through might've happened to you Oh, I've been thinking of you Oh, I've been thinking of you Oh, I've been thinking of you And you've been thinking of me
