Love song for a man

If he were a color - he'd be deep, dark forest green
If he were a car - he'd be a long stretch limousine
With room for all of humanity inside
'Cause he is so giving and he is so wise

If he were a number - he'd be a 5, cause he has such a brilliant mind
If he were an animal - he'd be an ass (haha)
'Cause he's so stubborn sometimes...

If he were a song - he'd be a complicated melody
(That complicated fellow, he)
I almost cannot sing on key
He means the world to me...

If he were a building - he'd be a beautiful cathedral cause he's so traditionally spiritual
If he were a dance - he'd be complicated like the tango
Exotic like a mango

But if he were a song - he'd be a complicated melody
(That complicated fellow, he)
I almost cannot sing on key
But he means the world to me...

He ain't the reason for the sun and the moon
He's just the reason for this here tune
Cause he means the world to me
I said he means the world to me

That complicated melody
That complicated fellow, he
He's a complicated melody
I almost cannot sing it on key

("Complicated Melody," India Arie)
