Jennifer: You With Me

How can I put this?

You’re the one I want to be with.
You say you want to marry me,
but will parents let that be?
They probably think, “YOU with ME?”

That will be impossible;
You’re almost as dark as coal.
They think you’re not for me,
but how can that be?
It’s your skin color that reflects on me.
That’s why they won’t let it be.

You with me?

Though I love you for what’s inside,
not the color of your skin outside,
my parents think different;
they think I’m suspicious.

But I’m moving on with my life,
because I’m going to become your wife.
I love yiou with all my heart,
and our marriage is soon to start.

So love me for me
and I will always love you for you.
It doesn’t matter how people judge you;
just remember I love you for you.
