Sincerity Meshell Ndegéocello

[Chorus]
He loves
With sweetness and sincerity
While she can only pretend

[Verse 1]
He caresses her hair
(Thinks to himself) such a lovely face
Gives his entire self
(Shares his secrets)
But it's all in vain
His love for her drowns him
In a sea of denial
Her fear of being alone
Will it keep her there

[Chorus]
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
While she may only pretend
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
While she may only pretend

[Verse 2]
The morning comes
(He reaches out) to feel her warmth
She pulls away
(He closes his eyes)
He's so ashamed
He's poor in all but truth
But what a fool is he
To wish for wine in her empty kiss
