You Are Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
I found you wearing satin, the shade of ebony
In the silence of my dreams you kept me company
On this secluded island our bodies seem to melt
Intoxicating, overwhelming intensityYou're the one that I've been searching for
No less than everything and nothing more
Until the end of time I feel a dawn
You baby, you are all, you are allI sketch you to observe you, a smeared reality
Now you're draped in chocolate, tasty opportunity
To place you, take time to rest you on some mantel piece
Ignite you, take time to, and everything in betweenYou're the one that I've been searching for

No less than everything and nothing more
Until the end of time I feel a dawn
You baby, you are all, you are allYou're the one that I've been searching for
No less than everything and nothing more
Until the end of time I feel a dawn
You baby, you are all, you are allTo me you read as clearly
It's like poetry, you've got me
With sexy smile, sexy frown
Those frowns, those frowns, do what you doTo me you read as clearly
It's like poetry, you've got me
With sexy smile, sexy frown
Those frowns, do what you doTo me you read as clearly
It's like poetry, you've got me
With sexy smile, sexy frown
Sexy, do what you do
Do what you do
Do what you doTo me you read clearly
Poet, you've got me
You've got me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bilal (born Bilal Sayeed Oliver on August 23, 1979, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) is a soul musician and member of the musical collective known as Soulquarians. In 2001, his debut album — 1st Born Second — was released on the Interscope record label.

Bilal's classical training at the Mannes Music Conservatory in New York was instrumental to his conversance with Jazz, voice, and big band arrangements. It has also been reported that he is capable of performing opera in seven languages and writes both music and lyrics.

In 1995, Bilal encountered Faulu Mtume, and his brother, Damu Mtume (sons to James Mtume and founders of Moyo Entertainment) at a barber's shop in Philadelphia. His plans to produce film scores was shelved after he handed the brothers a demo recording; they were so impressed that they successfully convinced him to record commercially.

Bilal has also frequently collaborated and performed with several neo-soul and alternative hip hop artists, including Common, Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli, and The Roots. He also covered Radiohead's "High & Dry" for the 2006 Radiohead tribute, Exit Music: Songs With Radio Heads. Bilal appears in Dave Chappelle's Block Party.

His sophomore full-length recording, Love for Sale is rumored to have been shelved after being leaked on the internet. Despite no official release as of yet, Love for Sale has become an underground classic.
