Time and Devotion by Tellemtee Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am not an open book (never been)
So how’d you get in every nook and cranny
And no one's ever had me shook (never been)
Can’t afford an L on book, no money
It takes time and devotion and a lot of hoping
To fix what is broken, broken oh
And to prove that you’ll be here even after the moment
With both arms wide open oh
[Hook]
So if say another love
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna find it
Cause you feel like home, home, home
Not looking no more
I’m happy right here
With you and you alone, ‘lone, ‘lone
I don’t wanna find it
Cause you feel like home, home, home (mama you feel like home)
I’m happy right here
Cause you feel like home, home, home
[Verse 2]
Never played the games I play (not even one)
Taught me there’s another way, uncanny
Follow through with things you say (every one)
Did it all so you could stay ntombazane yami uh
It takes time and devotion and a lot of hoping
To fix what is broken, broken oh
And to prove that you’ll be here even after the moment
With both arms wide open oh
[Hook]
So if say another love
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna find it
Cause you feel like home, home, home
Not looking no more
I’m happy right here
With you and you alone, ‘lone, ‘lone
I don’t wanna find it
Cause you feel like home, home, home (mama you feel like home)
I’m happy right here
Cause you feel like home, home, home
[Verse 3]
Yeah Back then, when I used to preach ‘no love no loss’ (no love no loss yeah)
I was mad then, telling anybody trying they could kick rocks (trying they could- off)
But you ain’t go you ain’t budge
You was acting like you didn’t hear me (like you didn’t hear me)
Now it’s all yours I’m all yours
Because just to get somebody near me
It takes time and devotion and a lot of hoping
To fix what is broken, broken oh
And to prove that you’ll be here even after the moment
With both arms wide open oh
[Hook]
So if say another love
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna find it
Cause you feel like home, home, home
Not looking no more
I’m happy right here
With you and you alone, ‘lone, ‘lone
I don’t wanna find it
Cause you feel like home, home, home (mama you feel like home)
I’m happy right here
Cause you feel like home, home, home
I am not an open book (never been)
So how’d you get in every nook and cranny
And no one's ever had me shook (never been)
Can’t afford an L on book, no money
It takes time and devotion and a lot of hoping
To fix what is broken, broken oh
And to prove that you’ll be here even after the moment
With both arms wide open oh

Cause you feel like home, home, home
Not looking no more

I don’t wanna find it
Cause you feel like home, home, home (mama you feel like home)
I’m happy right here
Cause you feel like home, home, home
