love story lyrics

It's from the heart
This is from the heart right here, yeah
Everybody has a story to tell
Check this out though, girl

I knew this Chinese dude in junior high, part of my crew
Everybody knew this kid, he was the talk of the school
Intelligent and well-spoken, respected by teachers
All the other students kept they eyes on his sneakers

What can I say, you can tell he's cool if you talk with him
During fire drills girls would wanna walk with him
He could have any chick up in his view
But there was only one girl he wanted to call 'Boo'

See it's all true found himself stressed in a dead end
The girl he was feeling was obsessed with his best friend
His best friend's a playa that's the reason he's pissed
Plus he treat her like she don't even exist

He ain't tryna hate on his man but there was no help in it
Wrote the girl a letter told her how he felt in it
She was shocked at first for him revealin' the truth
Until she realized that she was feelin' him too

Oh, I've been thinking of you
Oh, I've been thinking of you
Oh, I've been thinking of you
And you've been thinking of me, oh

Yeah, so you know as time goes by
Things get a little more serious, just listen

It was strictly hip-hop now they bumping slow jams all day
Went from holding hands to making out in the hallway
Their relationship seemed like a dream come true
As time went by their friendship grew

Staring at the stars, trading secrets on the phone
When her parents were at work, she would sneak him in her home
He told her he was a virgin, the day that they met
So on his birthday he got a gift he'll never forget

Females were jealous but they still calling them cute
First day of summer school they rocked the matching Nautica suits
Happy in each other arms, can it be?
They found true love living in a fantasy

Then reality attacks, his pops couldn't see past the fact
His son was Asian but his girlfriend was black
Imagine having to choose between the one you love and your fam
That's like cutting off your right or left hand damn

Oh, I've been thinking of you
Oh, I've been thinking of you
Oh, I've been thinking of you
And you've been thinking of me, oh

Yeah, I know this sounds like a true story
Coulda happened to any one of us, it's crazy though right?
Check it

Now if this sounds like a true story, that's pro'lly 'cause it is
And I know for a fact 'cause I'm that Chinese kid
Looking back now I know it's more than just a crush
I'm saying the whole experience taught me so much

Love can overcome anything that gets in its way
That's the reason I still think of shorty till this day
We talk now and then, she's doing her thing
We both all grown up, I think she's rockin' a ring

I know she's proud of me and all the things I've accomplished
She was there when I was nobody that's being honest
Ain't no shame, I'll admit it she was there when I cried
So in return, I wiped the tears from her eyes

As far as my pops, he's a little more open minded
If his son is happy he's 100% behind it
How this is a song, I knew I had to do
'Cause all this stuff I went through might've happened to you

Oh, I've been thinking of you
Oh, I've been thinking of you
Oh, I've been thinking of you
And you've been thinking of me
