"Changed Man" lyrics

Can I talk to you?

Pain, I know that I cause you some pain
And baby I know it's a shame
The games, the strain
Love, girl all you had for me was love
And I ran your love in a muck
No hugs and what, what, what
What was I thinking?

It hit me like a flash of light
I realize you are my life
And I really love you (I love you baby)
Yes I do, yes I do

I've changed like an 80s fade to the corn-rows
To the White House from death-row
Projects to Hollywood
A pimp to a minister, from bad to good

I've changed like a poor excuse to a true friend
I'm a brand new start from a dead end
Like a guilty man turned innocent
Baby I've changed

Life, I'm willing to lay down my life
Baby won't you be my wife?
Except this ring tonight
Now I was a blind man who spent his whole life in the dark
No trees, no bees, no Central Park
And I realize the love in my eyes
You're the perfect work of art, lady

The risk of losing you has caused my transformation
My rehabilitation, dedication, inspiration
Girl I'm brand new
Listen clearly baby
I'm willing to show you
The little things I meant to do
But I never took the time to do
(I wanna love you)
