"That First Look" Aleatha

That First Look” (Verse 1) I was sittin’ at the bar one night, Just mindin’ my business, enjoyin’ the lights… When this beautiful queen walked in, Like the whole room froze… didn’t know where to begin. I leaned over slow and said, “Excuse me, miss… If you don’t mind, Can I buy you a drink?” She smiled real soft and said, “No, I don’t mind at all…” And right then and there, I swear I felt my heartbeat stall. (Pre-Chorus) We started chattin’, laughin’, Gettin’ comfortable real quick… And when she stood up in those jeans… Lord have mercy—that did the trick. (Chorus) That first look… had me gone, Had me thinkin’ ’bout her all night long. Somethin’ ’bout her smile, somethin’ ’bout her grace, I could see forever just starin’ at her face. That first look… oh it changed everything, From the drink in my hand to the song I wanted to sing. (Verse 2) We talked a little more, And I asked for her name… ’Cause the way she carried herself— I knew I’d want to hear it again. She said, “I’m ALEATHA And man, that name fit just right— Like it belonged on a spotlight stage, Or whispered under moonlight. I said, “I know it’s gettin’ late, And you probably gotta go…” That’s when I noticed her colors— Head to toe strollin’ in her glow. I smiled and said, “Well, I’m a Que…” We both laughed, Said it was real nice talkin’ to you. (Chorus) That first look… had me gone, Had me thinkin’ ’bout her all night long. Somethin’ ’bout her smile, somethin’ ’bout her grace, I could see forever just starin’ at her face. That first look… oh it changed everything, From the drink in my hand to the song I wanted to sing. (Bridge) Maybe it was fate, maybe it was chance, Maybe it was the music, maybe it was romance… But her presence hit different, Something pure, something new— That moment in time Felt too perfect to lose. (Final Chorus) That first look… had me gone, Had me dreamin’ ’bout her before she went home. Aleatha with the smile, Aleatha with the glow, Aleatha reppin’ proud—cutie pie sweetie, you know. And me, just a Cue, admirin’ the view… Sayin’ it was a real good night… Talkin’ to you.
