NO SHADE OF GREY

NO SHADE OF GREY

HERE IT IS…
DO YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME OR NOT,
BECAUSE I HAVE OPTIONS,
EITHER WE COMMIT TO BE TOGETHER,
OR AGREE TO GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS.

YOUR WIRES ARE CROSSED,
YOUR SIGNALS DISTORTED,
AND MY MIND IS NOT A PLAYGROUND 
FOR YOUR CHILDLIKE GAMES.

YOU TOLD ME…
YOU DID NOT WANT TO BE EXCLUSIVE,
NOT READY TO SETTLE DOWN.

BUT LATELY YOU BEEN TRACKING MY EVERY MOVE,
CALLING ME LATE AT NIGHT, PICKING FIGHTS 
AND WANTING TO KNOW 
WHERE I AM SPENDING THE NIGHT.

THERE ARE TWO COLORS IN LIFE
I CLEARLY SEE,
BLACK FOR THE DARK TIMES
WHICH ONLY COMES TO STRENGTHEN ME,
AND WHITE FOR THE VICTORY 
I WORK HARD ACHIEVE.

ITS NIGHT OR DAY FOR ME,
AND ABSOLUTELY…
NO SHADE OF GRAY,
WHEN IT COMES TO MY HEARTS,
OR MAYBES.

WILFORD BARKER.
