lyrics

- WARM - Benjamin Arthur Ellis

-I'm not tryin' to do you any harm
I'm just tryin' to keep you safe and warm
I'm gon' keep you sheltered from the storm
I'm warm, I'm warm

-I'm not tryin' to set off no alarms
I'm just tryin' to hold you in my arms
I wanna show you all my charms
I'm warm, I'm warm

-'cause the landlord wants your money, and the boss he wants your soul
and all the people on the TV want you (to) do what you are told
I don't mean to disrespect you, please forgive me bein' bold
but I'm just tryin' to tell you just in case nobody told you
you don't have to be so cold

-I'm not tryin' to do you any harm
I'm just tryin' to hold you in my arms
I'm gon' keep you sheltered from the storm
I'm warm, I'm warm

(optional "rap" segment:)
-I been watchin' you
I think you been watchin' me too, but I
see you takin' a defensive stance
y'prob'ly think i'm only tryin' to get in your pants, but I'm a
grown man with a sensitive mind
got my eyes wide open so to
see what I find
fightin' Fear with Love in all it's forms
take off your coat, girl -I'm warm...
