Every Other Time

I was listening to my iPod this morning, with the playlist set to the POP genre. I don't usually listen to this play list but what the heck, I was feeling pop-py this morning. I was listening to one song, kinda old school. The beat sounded familiar, and I thought to myself, this must be one of 'em tracks I listened to in high school. I checked the display to see what song was playing. It was Every Other Time by LFO. As the song played on, I listened closely to the lyrics. A huge grin slowly crept my lips. I tried holding my smile back as I'm sure I would've looked kinda silly with that grin on while walking alone in my corporate wear along the cobblestone pavement. I had this giddy feeling inside too. Kinda like butterflies in the stomach.

See, the past days, MJ and I had been going through a lot of relationship dramas. In the past 5 days, I've broke up with him twice already. Cried several times. Had a couple of verbal stand-offs with him. But in spite of all these, he's remained pretty cool, calm and collected. Sometimes, he fights back, but in the end, he just says he loves me more when I get mad and that I look so cute when I frown and when I cry, all he wants to do is kiss me. So when I heard this song, a light bulb definitely lit up.


I said lets talk about it
as she walked out on me and slamed the door
but I just laugh about it
cuz shes always playin those games
C'mon
(deep down) deep down i know she loves me
but shes got a funny way of showin me how she cares (she cares)
last night she did a donut on my lawn
and drove out w/ her finger in the air
Oh yeah
Sometimes its black
Sometimes its white
Sometimes shes wrong
Sometimes im right
Sometimes we talk about it or we figure it out
But then she just changed her mind
Sometimes shes hot
Sometimes im cold
Sometimes my head wants to explode
But when i think about it im so in love with her
Every other time
nananananananananana
Every other time
nananananananananana
Every other time
nananananananananana
Every oth-every other time
sometimes we sit around
just the 2 of us on the park bench
sometimes we swim around
like 2 dolphins in the oceans of our hearts
but then i think about the time that we broke up before the prom
and u told everyone that I was gay "ok"
sometimes I walk around the town
for i was just to settle down
but I take you back
and u kick me down
cuz thats the way uhhu uhhu I like it
Sometimes its black
Sometimes its white
Sometimes shes wrong
Sometimes im right
Sometimes we talk about it or we figure it out
But then she just changed her mind
Sometimes shes hot
Sometimes im cold
Sometimes my head wants to explode
But when i think about it im so in love with her
Every other time
nananananananananana
yeah every other time
nananananananananana
Every other time
nananananananananana
Every oth-every other time
Keep it up home girl
don'tcha quit
u know the way u scream is the ultimate
And when I walk away
just watch the clock n then i don't even get around the block
and I say "let's talk about it"
as she walks out on me and slams the door
one day we'll laugh about it
cuz we're always playin those games

I told MJ about it. We couldn't help but share a laugh together. He was the one who even sent me the lyrics. We both agreed it's our song of the moment. Realizing that frequent minor fights does not necessarily mean the demise of the relationship. What matter is, at the end of the day, both parties can laugh off all the problems away and want nothing more than just being with each other.
