you can love me
with your kiss
but...
can you love me when by family
I've been dismissed

you can love me
with your touch
but...
can you love me
when I'm ill without making a fuss

CAN YOU...

love me with
miles upon miles of
stretch marks after having
your baby

can you love me when
I'm not looking so pretty

love me when I'm
down and out
or
when I'm praisin God with a
scream and shout

can you love me
in spite of my past
build on a love that will
forever last

can you love me in
jeans and a tee
with pockets filled with
no cash

these things will determine
if your love is superficial

PROOF that it won't last

can you...
love me thoroughly
if the doctor diagnoses me
with cancer and I'm no longer the
Afri-DANCER you once knew

if you are with out sin
then cast the first stone

I'll pack my bags and travel
this road alone

Actually, I'll have a travel partner
a man who
CAN love me
My eternal father who'll
love me
unconditionally
beyond a shadow of a doubt

even in times of spiritual drought

If this is something
you feel you CAN'T handle

there's no need
to proceed
with this romantic dinner

turn off the music

clear the table and...

blow out the candle...

I don't want or need you here.

can you love me
Can you loVE ME
can YOU LOVE ME
