The Night I Fell In Love

I was backstage

couldn't believe my luck was in

I saw him approach

wearing a most approachable grin

When he said hello

I was surprised he spoke so politely

I said I'd liked his show

Well he just smiled

I guess it happens nightly

and so

I fell in love

We went to his room

he had a video camera

I was so nervous

I had to try hard not to stammer

He said

'I'm glad you liked the show

that crowd was dope out there tonight, alright

You wanna see some more?

Well be my guest

You can have a private performance'

I'd fallen in love

I didn't ask why

though he seemed like such a regular guy

he said we could be

secret lovers

just him and me

Then he joked

'Hey, man!

Your name isn't Stan, is it?

We should be together!'

And he was passionate

I guess I would rate

him a nine out of ten

by then

I'd fallen in love

When I asked

why have I heard so much

about him being charged

with homophobia and stuff

he just shrugged

Next morning we woke

he couldn't have been a nicer bloke

Over breakfast made jokes

about Dre and his homies and folks

Neither of us asked if or when

we would see each other again

but I thought that was cool

'cause I was already late for school

by then

I'd fallen in love
