Yeah, mmm
I’ve been doing some thinking, baby
Listen
I look back at the way we started
I know I played some games, I was lighthearted
But every time you looked my way with that grace
I realized no one else could ever take your place
Your kindness is a rhythm that I follow
You chased away the shadows of my sorrow
I’m done with all the games, I’m putting them away
'Cause I wanna be with you for all of my days
Akonke Ade, you’re the one I adore
My heart’s wide open, I’m not running no more
Your love is the shelter, your touch is the flame
I’m whispering the beauty of your sweet name
Akonke, yeah, I won’t joke with you again
You’re my lover, my soul, my very best friend
I see the way you give, it’s unconditional
Your affection feels so real, it’s traditional
I’m learning how to cherish what we’ve built
I’m washing off the past and all of the guilt
Come here, let me show you what you mean to me
In a world of noise, you’re the melody
I won’t take for granted all the care you show
You’re the only light that I really wanna know
Akonke Ade, you’re the one I adore
My heart’s wide open, I’m not running no more
Your love is the shelter, your touch is the flame
I’m whispering the beauty of your sweet name
Akonke, yeah, I won’t joke with you again
You’re my lover, my soul, my very best friend
I need you, I need you near me
Let me hold you close, let me love you clearly
No more games, baby, I’m changing my ways
I’m lost in your love for the rest of my days
Yeah, baby, it’s just us two
Everything I do, I do it for you
So here’s a promise from the bottom of my heart
I’m never gonna let our story fall apart
You’ve shown me kindness that I never knew
And now I’m pouring all my love back into you
Akonke, you’re the queen of my world
My life’s better since our flags were unfurled
I’m steady now, I’m ready now, I’m yours for real
You’re the only one that makes me really feel
Akonke Ade, you’re the one I adore
My heart’s wide open, I’m not running no more
Your love is the shelter, your touch is the flame
I’m whispering the beauty of your sweet name
Akonke, yeah, I won’t joke with you again
You’re my lover, my soul, my very best friend
Yeah, I won’t joke with you anymore
Akonke, it’s you I adore
Just you and me, baby
My one and only
Mmm, yeah
