India Arie - Part of My Life LYRICS

Can you be a part of my life
Can you be a part of my life

Oh it's easy to find someone to play with
Almost anyone will do to fill your idle time
But that very special someone who can
Share all your dreams
Well it's so hard to find

And you could be likely to settle for the physical
But these days it aint too easy to make up my mind
Cause apparently your body's just a temporary
To take up my precious time
(Bridge)
I got to know that
That I can be free with you
You got to show that
That you're worthy of my time
Can you stimulate my mind
(Chorus)
I know that it looks good but
Can you be a part of my life?
And I'm sure that it feels good but
Can you be a part of my life?
And it probably even tastes good but
Can you be a part of my life
I've got to know
Ohhhh

I still appreciate the beauty of a man
But there's more to what I need now
Than what meets the eye
And if beauty's only skin deep
Then your pretty skin won't send me
To my highest high

It's been a long time comin'
For maturity
And I believe that
It's truly what it has to be
Cause as much as I admire you
My sexual desire
Ain't controlling me

Hey-ey-ey-yeah
(Bridge)
(Chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

Can you be a part of my life?
I got to know that
Can you be a part of my life?
I got to know that
(Repeat to fade out)
