Hikari (feat. Substantial)

Substantial and Nujabes
Still doing this
Yeah
Sorry love, uh
Sorry love
Sorry love
But it seems like it isn't in the cards for us

Meetin' you was a blessing, see
But, sorry sweetheart, we can never be
The little things you do be impressin' me
But still, baby girl, we can never be
You only want one night of ecstasy
Thanks, but no thanks, it can never be
'Cause I got a wife at home that I'm blessed to keep
And to fool around with you would be the death of me
Can't add new ingredients to the recipe
'Cause that isn't fair to you, nor fair to me
And more importantly, it sure isn't fair to her
Guess we might've had a chance before I married her
'Cause wifey's worth more than life to me
A soulmate, and who am I to control fate?
'Cause somebody like you is much more than a cut buddy
But I can't give you all the things that you want from me
So

We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
But it seems like it isn't in the cards for us
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
But it seems like it isn't in the cards for us

I know you think I'll be the perfect man
But it seems like the Most High had other plans
Besides, I'm no better than my brother, man
Can't run around like Mr. Loverman
Tryin' to maintain
And spend the rest of my life with the same dame
That's right, hon
I found the right one
Sounds like fun, but I ain't riskin' that
'Cause if I lose her, slim chance I'll get her back
This is real life, this ain't Cinemax
Tryin' to hear my little seed's feet go pitter-pat
On these hardwood floors in this house we own
Yeah, you're hot, ya know, but it's not for sure
Not that anything's the matter with you
But there's no guarantee that I can have that with you
And I can't make you into something you're not
No need to look around for what I already got
So

I ain't tryin' to waste your time, boo
I know you've been stepped on and been lied to
God bless the next man who's lucky to find you
It's hard to sever ties, but, baby, I got to
Uh, that's the way it is
I know you don't know what to make of this
And I'm very sorry that it came to this
Feels like the end, let's pray it is
'Cause they say it's easier that way
That's what cats say
And it hurts like a backache
And the pressure is enough to make a back break
But to lead you on would be mad fake
So do your thing, baby, I'll do mine
Don't worry 'bout me, girl, I'll be fine
This is all my fault, I'm too kind
And a decent human being's hard to find

We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
But it seems like it isn't in the cards for us
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
We can't be, we won't be, sorry love
But it seems like it isn't in the cards for us
