about

I see a photo, I see a ransom.

lyrics

A Thousand Words – Kurt Bel-Air


A thousand words, a thousand dollars, it ain’t worth it
You in a picture, in a locket, like you been framed,
Like you been collared, put on a leash, like you been tamed.

A thousand words, a thousand dollars, it ain’t for me,
You in a picture, in a wallet, already saw it,
I don’t want you, in a portrait, I want you free.

All you ladies, what you think of love?
You wanna put it in a little tea cup
Why you want cute when you can have handsome?
I see a photo, I see a ransom.

A bunch of words, another phone call, a royal highness,
A declaration, a delegation, signaled with a bell
Not every question, needs an answer, not every partner, gets a dancer.

Too many words, too many pictures, too much to choose from,
Too much filler, too many itches, not enough fingers,
I wanna body, I wanna breather, I wanna invite, I wanna teaser.
