He Ain't Chris

i bet his jokes don't even make u laugh,
the way the things i say make u smile,
i bet when he sings with the radio,
he don't make u feel the way that i do,

no,

i bet when he cooks ur dinner,
that's right, he don't know a pot from a pan,
ya i bet when he makes the promises all day,
at night, he don't make u feel like a real woman,

and i bet he don't see that gleam in ur eyes,
that ur name don't sound the same coming from his lips,
and he don't know how it's supposed 2 feel when u say his name,
he may be a guy like me.. but baby it just ain't the same,

cuz,

my hands have never felt anything quite like u,
my eyes have never seen an angel before or since,
every moment i spend with u was more special than the one before it,
so i can tell u this,

he ain't Chris...

he don't say yes ma'am to ur momma,
he don't firmly handshake with ur dad,
i saw ur brother the other day,
and..well i can't even repeat what he had 2 say,

i bet he still loves his car more than u,
u can't compete with his friends,
and he only turns u off when he's playin' video games,
he may be a guy like me.. but baby it just ain't the same,

cuz,

i don't need nothin' but 2 see myself in ur eyes,
there's no better feeling that ur hand in mine,
just sittin' watchin' the tv hangin' out on the couch,
whisperin' "i love u" in ur ear, ain't that what it's all about,

and every moment spent with u, is more special than the last,
so i know i know i know i can promise u this,
he maybe a lot of things u think u want in a guy,
but baby no.. .no..no...

he ain't Chris...

i could promise u forever he can't promise 2day,
i can promise that i never will,
but He's gonna go away,
i will be there when we age, he will split before the dawn,
i'll be there through it all,
he will just be ... gone..

he might have a lil more money,
might be able 2 grant a wish,
but no matter how many things he can buy u, baby,
he ain't, he ain't ..

he ain't Chris

  1. Nice work sir! I can tell that all of your poetry is inspired by personal experiences and it makes it that much more powerful.
