Fragile
Raheem DeVaughn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sugar honey, ice tea
It's me
And I know what you been through
So I won't spend you
Until I begin to move within you
In a windmill
If you want me to pause or slow down
I won't resume til
You are prepared to come around

I know the heart, requires TLC
So baby put all your faith in me
Give me that heart of yours
I'll promise I'll be fragile, fragile

Listen to your heart,(listen to your heart)
And you'll hear all that is in store (all that is in store)
I can offer you (you) an abundance of truth and loyalty
All that is required that you put faith in me

I know the heart, requires TLC
So baby (oh) put all your faith in me
Give me that heart of yours
I'll promise I'll be fragile, fragile

This is my moment of truth, (this is my moment, this is my truth)
And I vow to love with all that is required of me
(to be) to be the best man that I can be
All the ingredients that make up the recipe

Once upon a time, (Once upon a time)
I know your heart was broken (I know your heart was broken)
Take this love of my (take this TLC)
From me baby

I know the heart, requires TLC (TLC)
So baby put all your faith in me (put all your faith in me darling)
Give me that heart of yours
I'll promise (I'll be) I'll be fragile (fragile), fragile (fragile)

I know the heart, requires TLC, (your heart need TLC)
So baby put all your faith in me
(if you) give me that heart of yours (give me your heart)
I'll promise I'll be (I'll be) fragile (fragile), fragile (fragile)

Oh how I've missed you,
Being that I only exist to assist you
Come here and let me help untwist you
I have a special ring for you
But you should've known that the phone don't have a tone that fits you
Let me show you what this do (this do)
Miss lady,
Put down your bags while I investigate your swag style
You seem like you taste expensive like the last vowel
A just because I know for sure you are agile, does not mean you are not fragile

I know the heart (I know baby), requires TLC, (I know you need TLC)
So baby put all your faith in me (put all your faith in me)
Give me that heart of yours, (heart)
I'll promise I'll be fragile (I'll be fragile), fragile (I'll be fragile)

I know the heart (with your heart) , requires TLC (heart)
So baby (heart) put all your faith in me (oh) (I'll be fragile)




Give me that heart of yours (if you give me that heart of yours)
I'll promise I'll be fragile, fragile (I'll be fragile baby)
