Issues
Sharissa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It seems like I'm always mad at you
And it's always something you did or something that you didn't do
And I'm always telling you that you could leave
And from the minute you walked out, it doesn't feel right to me

Everybody wants that perfect love, oh yes, they do
But I'll take you and all your imperfections
Your love is like an oven
And sometimes I don't know what to do
You got issues but I miss you
All I'm saying is you got a lot of stuff with you
Yes, you do, yes, you do, yes, you do, yes, you do
You got a lot of stuff with you, yes, you do, yes, you do

My friends always express their doubts
So the more we stay together give them something to talk about
And even though I know you're not well to do
And you don't have a lot of money but you sure got a lot of use

Everybody wants that perfect love
But I'll take you and all your imperfections

Your love is like an oven
And sometimes I don't know what to do
You got issues but I miss you
All I'm saying is you got a lot of stuff with you
Yes, you do, yes, you do, yes, you do, yes, you do
You got a lot of stuff with you, yes, you do, yes, you do

Your love is like an oven
And sometimes you got issues but I miss you
You got a lot of stuff with you
Yes, you do, yes, you do, yes, you do
You got a lot of stuff into you, yes, you do, yes, you do

Love is so hard to come by
A good friend and a peace of mind, baby
Keep on loving me, the other stuff can pass by
You're not perfect all the time
But Lord knows you're the perfect kind

Your love is like an oven
And sometimes you got issues but I miss you
You got a lot of stuff with you
Yes, you do, yes, you do

Your love is like an oven
You got issues but I miss you
You got a lot of stuff with you
Yes, you do, yes, you do





Your love is like an oven
