  • We were from different cities on the same block
    Grew up in different circles in the same spot
    Like raindrops we fall in love giving our all
    Showing her ring off like a player at the ball
    I recall the walls that I had up
    Attracted to women for things that didn't matter
    Ka-clow boom pop! Sound of my heart when it drop
    The night that I met her, it might be forever
    I hear people saying that they like us together
    I ain't afraid to gamble when life is getting better
    With you, I admit I had issues
    Like ebony, your essence, your pedigree, your presence
    It's more than clothes can say for you
    When I shop I gotta spend more than a day for you
    I pray for you and us, that we imbue through lust
    And accrue the trust, let's shake off the dust from the cloth

    Oh you're worried about when people stop and stare
    That's just a tear on those beautiful clothes you wear
    Cut from the same, cloth you just want to wear
    But that's just a tear because girl I can get you fresh
    La la la la, la la la la

    This is tailor-made love, fit like a snug
    Anything we can bear so let's have some cubs
    You were there when my cuz passed away
    Not only does love, but life hatches day
    I appreciate the hugs and the days I breed with you
    Strong seeds I can see with you, the good word I read with you
    Looking at things that we've been through
    Things that seem simple
    I know when to go hard and when to be gentle
    Sentimental laughs and expressions
    Let's stay in the present, no time for second guessing
    You said it's this cloth that makes you feel naked
    The truth we address it, that's so unexpected
    Yeah that's the thread that helps us move ahead
    Your hunger for affection will always be fed
    Thank God we never sped and let love take it's course
    Because what's inside of us, no need to outsource
    The cloth

    Oh you're worried about when people stop and stare
    That's just a tear on those beautiful clothes you wear
    Cut from the same, cloth you just want to wear
    But that's just a tear because girl I can get you fresh
    La la la la, la la la la

    Hey lover we can cover each other
    Through the coldest nights, tight never smother
    It's two things that seems to hold us together
    God is our tailor and forever
    It's two things that seems to hold us together
    God is our tailor and forever
    It's two things that seems to hold us together
    God is our tailor and forever
    It's the cloth

    Oh you're worried about when people stop and stare
    That's just a tear on those beautiful clothes you wear
    Cut from the same, cloth you just want to wear
    But that's just a tear because girl I can get you fresh
    La la la la, la la la la Writer/s: ERNEST WILSON, JAMES MOORE FAUNTLEROY, LONNIE RASHID LYNN
