Taste
[Intro]
Yeah
Yo, baby
Didn't I say please don't ask me questions about my life?
My life's an open secret
It's in the songs I write
It's in the way I sing
It's how I feel
Let me break this down for you
So you can really understand me

[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to know about my style and where I'm from
Born a beast, set out for feast at early age when I was young
"Mary Jane" my claim to fame was all about me having fun
And smoking in the sun
Money in my pockets while the woman came and then they'd go
Seven cars in my backyard 'cause that the way I loved to roll
Curse the day I started with play on something that would bring my fall
Just getting high, that's all

[Chorus]
Looking for a taste of love
Just a taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a taste of love
Looking for a taste of love
Just a taste of love
That could be so nice, be so nice, yeah
Just a little taste of your love
Just a little taste, baby, yeah
Just a little taste, baby

[Verse 2]
On the street I have to meet a dame I thought was really fine
Took her home up to my crib and that's the time she blew my mind
Everything was cool until the day Five-O knocked on my door
They made me hit the floor
Tried me for abuse and all these other lies were in the press
All they wanted was for me to cop a plea and just confess
Years when I was down I proved that I not only passed the test
But God was on my side

[Chorus]
Looking for a taste of love
Just a taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a taste of love
Looking for a taste of love
Just a taste of love
That would be so nice, yeah, be so nice
Just a taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a taste of love
Looking for a taste of love
That would be so nice, be so nice, yeah
[Bridge]
Just a little taste, baby
Just a little taste, baby
Just a little taste, baby
Just a little taste, baby

[Chorus]
Just a taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a taste of love
That could be so nice, baby, be so nice, yeah
Just a taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a little itty bitty taste
Just a taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love, be so nice, be so nice, baby
Yeah

[Outro]
Had it all baby...done it all...seen it all...and I still see
It's all about love, baby
And God is love, baby
Have Him in your life
