Biography:
India.Arie, born India Arie Simpson on October 3, 1975, in Denver, Colorado.

She had taken up a succession of musical instruments throughout her schooling in Denver

Let me tell you why I love him (spoken)
Chorus:
Cause he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him
Then I must be fly because his light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie(no)
Verse 1:
I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
It's almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband maybe he was my wife
And even,things I don't like about him are fine with me
Cause it's not hard for me to understand him cause he's so much like me
And it's truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it's God's gift to breathe
The air he breathes
Chorus:
Cause he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him
Then I must be fly because his light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie(no)
Verse 2:
How can the same man that makes me so mad (Do you know what he did?)
Turn right around and kiss me so soft (Girl do you know what he did?)
If he ever left me I wouldn't even be sad no
Cause there's a blessin' in every lesson and I'm glad that I knew him at all
Chorus:
Cause he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him
Then I must be fly because his light it shines so bright(no)
Bridge:
Am
I love the way he speaks
Am7
I love the way he thinks
Am7
I love the way that he treats his mama
Dm
I love that gap in between his teeth
Am
I love him in every way
Am7
that a woman can love a man
Am7 Dm Am7
From personal to universal but most of all
Dm
It's unconditional
You know what I'm talking about-(Spoken)
That's the way I feel
And I always will-(Spoken)
There ain't no substitute for the truth
Either it is or isn't
(Cause he is the truth)
You see the truth it needs no proof
Either it is or it isn't
(Cause he is the truth)
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
And if I am a reflection of him
Then I must be fly because he is, yes he is
I wonder does he know
ENJOY! Smiles for Miles!!! riaanne22 (AKA Ria)
