Brother Ali - Shine On lyrics
[Hook: Nikki Jean (x2)]
 Don't pay me no mind, baby
 Shine shine shine
 Don't pay me no mind, sugar
 Shine shine shine
 [Verse 1]
 I had seen you when the hosted seated you
 In a station of mine still I'm taking my time
 Made sure the moment got seized, made up my mind
 Through a napkin over my sleeve, straightened my tie
 Mind if I behold you through the fold of your menu
 Couture, all up against you, oh lord
 How could I convince you? I just met you
 And I'm instantly listening to your instrumental
 Poor me, I poured water inside your glass
 For a brief moment our eyes had kind of met
 I confess, I felt that inside my chest
 Almost made quite a mess yet I digress
 I would guess you're meeting a date here
 I offer, she order hors d'oeuvres while she wait here
 She brushed her bangs to clear off her face, yeah
 Parted her lips and turned crab cakes to Shakespeare
 [Hook: Nikki Jean (x2)]
 Don't pay me no mind, baby
 Shine shine shine
 Don't pay me no mind, sugar
 Shine shine shine
 [Verse 2]
 The way the lady bait a trap, I'm afraid to ask
 My imagination act, I run away with that
 Run away with me, I swear I'm not a maniac
 I'll give you that pretty diamond ring and last name to match
 I ain't saying that, I practiced waiting in the back
 I know I better make it fast before her date get back
 Yeah, I place her order, grabbed the plate, relaxedBrother Ali - Shine On - http://motolyrics.com/brother-ali/shine-on-lyrics.html
 Here, let me fix my face get my game in tact
 Fear, I chased the clock as I can't make it stop
 I played the waiter job, made it to the table top
 Time to play your cards, ace got to take your shot
 Before I could speak he showed up to devastate the plot
 Her real server showed up, my plan fell through
 "Sir, are y'all together? Ma'am, can I help you?"
 She looking puzzled, I stand without words
 I'm sorry, I don't really work here - awkward
 [Hook: Nikki Jean (x2)]
 Don't pay me no mind, baby
 Shine shine shine
 Don't pay me no mind, sugar
 Shine shine shine
 [Verse 3]
 Let me explain, you see I ain't much for wait and see
 So when I seen you take a seat I played maitre d'
 She replied angrily, "Mister, I can't believe
 You'd stand your grown ass in this place and play games with me
 Crazy freak, wait, how did you get all that food?"
 I ordered from the table around the corner and brought it to you
 Can't say I thought it through, ma'am it's all sort of new
 But when I saw you I sort of knew I had to talk to you
 And nothing in my arsenal seemed possible
 So I called an audible Serve you? I'm honoured to
 I didn't mean to bother you, I just want to watch a few
 Moments of your life much like a fly on a wall would do
 Never mind me, the light from your unusually bright shine blinded me
 So that was all I could see, I understand if you don't want to talk to me
 I'll just leave, pardon me,
 I'll just take this little broken heart and leave
 "Wait, that was a stupid thing to do
 But my date didn't show up and my table's set for two"
 I pulled on my coat like, aw look at you
 That's all I really wanted ma'am enjoy your afternoon
 I'm through
