[Wess Morgan's
"Why Can't We Love?" playing]
Tell me,
hat's that sound that I hear? w
Is that the drums of war
in my ear?
We cling to our religion
But we can't heal
our division
Mm
We're still
shackled by our chains
Mm-mm
Why can't we love?
Why can't we love?
Why can't we love
one another?
I wanna know, my friend,
why can't we love?
Why can't we love?
Why can't we love
one another?

Ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba, ba, ba-ba

Ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba
Mm, ooh
Why can't we love?
Why can't we love
Why can't we love
Why can't we love
one another?
-I wanna know
-Why can't we love
Why can't we love
Why can't we love
one another?
Don't look at my skin,
my friend, why?
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Why can't we just love
one another
Despite of the color?

Ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba

[door opens]
Good afternoon.
-Please come in.
-[door closes]
Make yourselves comfortable.
Appreciate you seeing us
on such short notice.
Well, of course.
I'm here to help.
So, let's start
with understanding why
you two are here
in the first place.
It's just trust issues.
We're hoping you can help us.
Yes,
before things get even more...
let's just say, complicated.
Well, trust is the foundation
of any good relationship.
And while it can
be hard sometimes...
and complicated,
I'm sure that if we get
to the root of the issue,
you two can solve it.
We've tried to solve it,
but that did not work
because
David just doesn't listen.
That makes me so frustrated.
to the point
I don't wanna communicate
or even express how I feel.
Oh, no, no, no.
That is not true, Sarah.
That is not true.
I do listen to you.
You don't listen to me
to hear my perspective.
You know, I don't think
you respect me or listen to me.
You know what the problem is?
The problem is Sarah
doesn't appreciate me.
No matter what I do
in this home
or in this relationship,
all that effort,
it goes unnoticed.
What do you mean?
I do appreciate you,
but feeling unappreciated
goes both ways, you know.
It's hard for me
when I'm constantly trying
to communicate with him,
but it's like talking
to a brick wall.
What?! I do--
No, no, no, no. I do hear you.
I may not hear you the way
you want, but I hear you.
It's not just
about hearing the words.
It's about understanding.
It's about really being present
and engaging with me.
-Yeah, I engage with you--
We're in the same room,
but your mind is in the clouds--
[both arguing at once]
Okay!
Calm down.
Let's all just breathe in.
[inhales deeply]
Hold it. Breathe out.
[exhales deeply]
All right. Good.
It's important for me to get
both of your perspectives,
just...one at a time.
All right.
Before we dive into your story,
how about
I share a little bit of mine?
Your story?
We wouldn't mind hearing you out
as long as you're comfortable
to talk about it.
Of course. I wouldn't
suggest it if I wasn't.
You see, in life, we go
through so many experiences.
And the ones especially in love,
they help teach us a lot.
I've been through many lessons.
And sometimes it takes
going through them over and over
and over again
before we actually learn them.
And when I was finally ready
to learn my lesson,
it helped me make
the decision in my life.
So, you've been through
relationship troubles, too?
[chuckles] More than
you might ever think.
You see,
life isn't fair to anyone.
We must all go through our tests
and trials and tribulations
that take us
to where we are today
to making the right decisions.
My story is like anyone else's.
Yeah
How you looking calm,
baby, in spite
Of that body stretching out
your pinstripes
Got so much to tell you,
come on inside
Hey
You was MIA from the invite
Wanna keep me down
with my hands tied
[gasps] Tiff.
-That's Mr. McAfee.
-Who?
Mr. McAfee, who's looking for
a new human resource manager.
I have got
to introduce you two.
He's right there. Let's go.
Come on. Let's go.
Hey, where are you two going?
Just wait right here
and watch our stuff.
We'll be right back.

Okay.
Excuse me. I think I'm lost.
-What?
-I'm lost.
Can you give me directions?
Directions to where?
Back to Earth.
'Cause looking at you,
I got to be in heaven.
[scoffs and chuckles]
Looks like
I'm on the right track.
Hey, do you mind if I join you?

Look, I won't get up
all up in your space.
I just couldn't
pass up the opportunity
to have a conversation with you.
Just for a little bit.


I'm-a take that as a yes.
So, um...what's your name?
Lexie.
Lexie Jackson.
It was nice to meet you, sexy.
Ah, I meant Lexie.
[laughs] Okay.
Nice to meet you, too.
Can I get you a drink?

I mean, I guess
another margarita wouldn't hurt.

Um, I'll have another margarita.
SERVER: Okay.
Thank you.

So, Lexie,
do you wanna play a game?

What's the game?
The game is I'm going
to ask you a question.
Personal questions.
But let me guess the answer.
You down?

I mean, I'm always
down for a challenge, so...
Okay, question one.
It's an easy question.
If you go anywhere
in the world,
where would you go?

Ah-ah. Remember the rules.
Let me guess.
You tell me
if I'm right or wrong.
-Okay.
-Okay?

Judging
by your adventurous vibe,
I'm-a guess...
Thailand.
Why would you say Thailand?
Because...tropical atmosphere,
beautiful beaches,
nice restaurants,
luxurious resorts.
But can you see yourself
going to Thailand?
I mean,
if you describe it like that,
yeah, I can see myself
going to Thailand.
Okay. All right, next question.

If you could master
any skill overnight,
what would it be?
With those big eyes,
I bet you see
the beauty in everything.
So, I'm-a guess...painting.
That's what I'm gonna guess.
See, the greatest painters
in the world,
they paint the world
through the eyes.
I would love to see the world
through your eyes.
[chuckles]
Am I close?
Say you're pretty close.
Last question.

If you can have dinner
with any historical person,
who would it be?

You look like somebody who...
values intellect
and appreciates poetry,
so, I'm-a guess...
Oscar Wilde or...
Maya Angelou.
Am I right?
Am I right about you?
Maya Angelou.
Pretty good at this.
Is there anything
you wanna ask me?
Oh. [laughs] No, not really.
Not even my name?
You don't wanna know my name?
Girl, you don't wanna know
my name?
Well, I'm sorry.
What's your name?

See, I thought you would
never ask.

I'm Jeremiah.
Jeremiah Cooper.

So, uh, sexy...would you like
to go somewhere alone?

I'm actually here
with my friends, so...
Your friends?
You ain't got no friends.
Where your friends at? You--
You ain't got no friends, girl.

We'll be back before
they even know you gone.

Well...I guess,
if we come back soon.

How's tomorrow?
-[giggles]
-How about the day after that?
Come on. Let's go.

-Would you like some water?
-DAVID: No, we're good.
You know, if my husband
wasn't here,
I would have asked you to give
me more of the juicy details.
Well, let's keep it
professional for now, Sarah.
Just for now.
-So...where were we?
-Oh, hold on, hold on.
Okay, so...I-I agree with you
with that whole learning
somebody else's past,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
David!
But do we really need to know
your love story right now?
Aren't you charging us
by the hour?
I mean, see what I mean?
Just another way
of making more money.
Firstly, David,
I really would like to thank you
for being so upfront
and honest with me.
Now, I respect that,
and at this point,
expect it from all my clients.
Secondly, I know while
this may seem very unnecessary
and maybe
even annoying at times.
Trust me, all right?
I wouldn't be sharing this
if I didn't think
it would add value
to our session.
-But you're still an expert--
-David, please let her continue.
[sighs]
Please. Trust me.
Every therapist has
their methods on how they choose
to help their clients.
This would be mine. All right?
An interesting
and novel way indeed.
[chuckles]
Thank you for saying that.
I respect your time
and your patience,
which is why I'd like
to continue
until our session is over.
[sighs]
All right, so where were we?
Now, this next gentleman
who I met... [sighs]
...is definitely someone
who's memorable
to the prospects that I have.

Well, well, well.
If it isn't the art broker
extraordinaire
selling millions on art, I see.
Hey, Lexie.
If only it were that easy,
but I'm hoping to make
some good deals today.
Just another glamorous day
in the life of an art broker.
It's not always as glamorous
as it seems, Lexie.
There is a lot of pressure,
especially when big deals
like this are on the line.
Brooke,
it's you we're talking about.
Come on, girl. I have
faith in you. You got this.
Thank you, Lexie. [laughs]
Mm.
[cellphone rings]
Hello? Okay.
[cellphone clicks]
They're here.
I'm gonna go take care of this.
And why don't you look around?
I mean, there is some
amazing pieces of art here.
Don't worry about me. Okay?
Good luck.
-Thank you.
-You got this.
[mellow jazz music playing]

Wow.
This is...amazing.
MAN: Thank you.
-Did you do this?
-[chuckles] I did.
Brooke told me about you.
You're Mr. Clark, right?
Yeah, Mr. Clark.
You just call me Maurice.
And you are?
Lexie. Lexie Jackson.
Lexie Jackson.
Nice to meet you, Lexie.
Nice to meet you.
Oh. I'm...so sorry.
Can I help you?
Um...Yeah, actually.
I was...wondering if...
maybe you'd wanna
get coffee sometime?
-Cup of coffee?
-Mm-hmm.
Hmm. When?
Now.
Okay. I know a coffee shop
around the corner
that's perfect.
-Okay.
-Come on.
Can you believe this is
your first time doing this?
I'm just so glad
you decided to join me today.
Yeah, I've been wanting to do
something like this for a while,
but just never got
around to it, you know?
Well, look, you're here now,
and that's what matters.
Trust me. When you see
the difference we make,
you'll be hooked.
So, I was thinking
maybe we could organize
a clothing drive this week.
With winter coming, it could
really help out those in need.
Oh, yeah, that's a great idea.
Uh-huh.
And then we could team up
with some local shelters
in the area,
just to make sure
those donations
get to who they need to get to.
So, what is...
Can I ask you something?
What's up?
What motivates you to do this?
I don't know. I mean,
I guess it just feels good,
do something tangible,
you know?
See the impact of your efforts
and how they affect people
firsthand.
But you know what
makes it even better?
-We get to do it together.
-[laughs] Yes.
I'm so excited
to show you the ropes.
Thanks for encouraging me
to come out.
Of course.
I'm ready
to make a difference today.
That's the spirit.
Well, I need to go get
the rest of the stuff.
Are you gonna be okay making
the rest of the magic happen?
Okay. Yeah. Take your time.
I'll handle this.
All right. You got it.
I believe in you.
[chuckles]
-Come on, Lex. You got this.
-Uh, hey.
Yeah?
-You need a hand?
-Oh, um...
-I can help.
-I mean, you don't have to,
but if you want,
you're more than welcome to.
Yeah.
Take a break.
Now, it's good to stay
hydrated in this heat.
Thank you. [laughs]
It's really hot.
[grunts]
I'm Ethan, by the way.
Lexie.
Nice to meet you, Lexie.
That's a...
-That's a cute name.
-Well, thank you.
It's a pleasure to meet you,
too.
I'll, uh, be over here if you
need me for anything else.
Sounds good. Thanks.
[David chuckles]
Okay. Okay, so...
several different men,
several different stories.
[sighs] Yes, and each of them
teaching me valuable lessons
on love, life...
and about myself.
Okay, so...
what happened next?
Well, someone's curious now.
Um...
I mean... [clears throat]
You said... [clears throat]
that you had to finish
this story
before the end of our session.
[laughs]
Come on.
You can't tell the audience
to leave the theater
once the movie started.
DAVID: Mm-hmm.
Well, that's actually
a really good analogy.
And all right. All right.
You win.
I am now eager to find out
about these different men
in your life. [laughs]
Well, thank you.
But...let me remind you,
it wasn't
always rainbows and roses.
The amount of tears I've shed...
Far too many.
And those gray,
dark, gloomy days?
So many I can't even count.
You know... [sighs]
My heart...
shattered to pieces.
I was really, really broken.
We're listening.
Hold on.
Let me tell you the truth.
Jeremiah and I, we go way back.

That guy really taught me
some harsh life lessons.
[clock beeping]
[beeping stops]
Babe, wake up.
[moans]
Don't you have to go to work?
I wanna sleep
a little bit longer.
All right.
Don't go.
Jeremiah, don't be like that.
Mnh-mnh. Stay.
Yo, baby, what's up?
I wrote you a song
You better
throw this thing on
Take it all for what it is
What it is, what it is,
what it is, what it is
It ain't all so big
So big, so big,
so big, so big
Take it all for what it is
What it is, what it is,
what it is, what it is
It ain't all so bad
It ain't all so bad
[giggles]
Thank you for waking me up.
Of course.
Did you want some coffee?
Yes, please.
This is for you.
Oh. Thank you for
making me this lovely breakfast.
Well, it was made
by yours truly,
so you know
it's gonna taste amazing.
[mouth full] I'm sure of that.
Mm-hmm.
Oh. Be ready at 8:00.
-I'm gonna pick you up.
-Sure. What's the occasion?
Can't a hot guy take his
hot girlfriend out on a date?
Oh, shoot.
Well, this hot girlfriend
will be ready for anything.
Perfect. Just remember,
I'm-a come by and pick you up.
-8:00.
-All right. Sounds good.
[cellphone chiming]
One second.
[cellphone clicks]
[sighs]
I gotta go.
Uh, but what about your coffee?
[sighs] There's no time.
All right.
-Mm.
-Did you have to give me
such a loving kiss
before you leave?
I couldn't give you
an unloving kiss, could I?
[chuckles] I'll miss you.
I'll miss you more.
-Mm.
-Mm-mm-mm-mm.
I don't want to make you late.
Please make me late.
Make me late. Make me late.
Oh.
-Now go to work.
-All right.
[chuckles]
Remember, be ready. 8:00 sharp.
All right. Sounds good.
See you later.
-Love you.
-Love you, too.
[chuckles]
All my old flame
watching my page
Say they miss
what I gave them
-[doorbell rings]
-I'm doing fine now
I feel amazing
I'm out of their range
Keep 'em guessing
when they ask about us
Hi.
Sexy Lexie.
Oh, my God.
They're so beautiful.
-I love them.
-I knew you would.
Wow. You look beautiful tonight.
[chuckles]
I'm so...I'm so happy
to be in love with you.
That's the sweetest thing
anyone has ever said.
But...there's just one thing.
-What? What are you doing?
-Hold on, hold on.
Oh, let's see.
Perfect.
I like it this way.
All right, I'm gonna put
these in some water, okay?
Okay.
-[door closes]
-Thanks again, babe. [giggles]
[door closes]
-[faucet running]
-Are you ready to go?
Yeah, yeah. Give me one second.
-All right, let's go.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where's your jacket?
-Huh?
-Your jacket.
But it's such nice weather
outside.
Lexie, you know how
I feel about these guys
with these fucking googly eyes
staring at your body.
[scoffs]
Jeremiah, are you for real?
Lexie, please. For me.
All right. Fine.
I'll go get one.
[door closes]
[door opens]
All right, perfect.
[sighs] Thanks, babe.
Hm.
-Let's go now.
-Okay.
So, I was thinking, um,
after this, go back to my place.
I'll get you a bottle
of your favorite wine.
You know, just me
and you hang out, just us.
Well, that'll work.
I don't have to get into work
until, like,
2 p.m. tomorrow, so...
Okay, yeah,
you ain't gonna sleep much.
-[chuckles]
-But you're gonna sleep well.
-Here you go.
-Sleep real good.
Wow, that's a really
nice watch you have there, sir.
Thanks.
It's a lot more than
what you make here, buddy.
I'll be back, sir.
Jeremiah, you can't go around
saying stuff like that.
Stuff like what?
Like what you just said
to the poor guy.
-He sure was poor.
-Jeremiah, come on.
What?

Okay, Lexie, I'm sorry. Okay?
-We'll--
-Thank you for dining with us.
Hope you both have
a great rest of your night.
A terrible-ass waiter.
Let's just--Let's just go.
Let's just go.
This ruined the night.

Let's go.
Babe. Babe!
-What?!
-What's wrong with you?!
There's nothing wrong
with me, okay?
You sure about that?
'Cause you're sure acting weird.
The hell are you talking about?
Jeremiah, you've been
acting really weird lately.
Weird?
What do you mean, weird?
I don't know,
but you sure as hell
weren't acting like this before.
Lexie,
let's not go down that road.
And what the hell's
that supposed to mean?
[vehicle approaches]
Hello? I'm talking to you.
[engine turns off]
Thank you.
Lexie, come on.
Get your ass in the car.
[scoffs] No, I'm not, Jeremiah.
Lexie,
don't cause a scene out here.
I'm the one causing a scene?
You're the one
clearly causing a scene.
You know,
I'm sick of your bitching.
You know what?
What do you want me to do?
Huh? What do you want me to do?
-You know what I want you to do?
-What?
Go home by yourself
with your bitch ass!
[footsteps depart]

Hey, hey, please get in the car.
Go away, Jeremiah.
I don't wanna talk to you.
Well, please get in the car.
You know what? Whatever.
[tires peal, engine revs]
[beep]
[line rings]
Okay.
[chair rolls]
[opens and shuts drawer]
So? Okay, what happened?
We were having such a good time.
Okay.
And it's like he changed into
a completely different person.
He was being such a dick!
-Okay.
-It was so embarrassing.
Okay, well,
let's just calm down, all right?
How long have y'all
been together?
I don't know.
[glass and bottle clink]
Eight months?
Lex, I mean...
you can't really know a person
in just eight months.
I guess.
I mean, he was so good to me
for those months.
It's like
he just switched up on me.
It doesn't make any sense.
Oh, okay. Okay, okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Look, come here.
Come.
[sighs]
Look, I'm so sorry
this happened to you, Lexie.
It's okay.
Look, I'm always a call away.
Thanks, Tiff.
Of course.
But as much as I wanna stay,
I do have work tomorrow, so...
Yeah, I know. I won't
hold you against your will.
-[laughs]
-I appreciate you.
Yeah. [laughs]
Thanks for picking me up.
Of course. You know I got you.
Now get some rest.
Don't stay up all night.
-I won't.
-All right. Good night.
Good night.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[sniffles]

[flowers and lid thud]
[under breath] Fucking asshole.
[sniffles]
[clock beeping]
[TV playing indistinctly]
[beeping continues]
[beeping stops]
[birds chirping in distance]

[cellphone chimes]
[mug clatters]
[cellphone chimes]

[door opens]
Lex...
Lex...
About last night...
[scoffs]
I apologize
for acting the way I did.
I made a really big mistake,
and I realize that now.
Do you really, Jeremiah?
I do.
Please, Lexie,
give me another chance.
I shouldn't have
disrespected you.
For starters.
Look, I'm working
on my anger issues.
Lexie...
I love you.
And I promise...
promise to be good.
I promise to be good.
Pinkie promise?
Here is your coffee.
I hope you enjoy.
And please let me know
if you need anything else.
Thank you.
Ordered you a cup of coffee.
Thanks.
[sips]
Hold on. Hold on. Excuse me.
What's wrong?
You gave me the wrong order.
Oh.
I'm so sorry, sir,
but I gave you what you ordered.
A hot caramel macchiato with
two pumps of caramel, right?
Yes, that's what I ordered,
but this...
This? This doesn't taste
like that.
-This tastes like shit.
-Jeremiah.
So, go back there
and get me another cup.
-[slams hand]
-Now!
-[gasps]
-SERVER: Okay.
[patrons murmuring]
Wait. Come here.
Come here, come here.
Can you please
get this damn cup?
[server sighs]
What the hell is wrong
with you?!
You know what?
I can't do this anymore.
We're done!
-[footsteps depart]
-Lexie.
[pounds fist]
[patrons murmuring]
You. This is your damn fault.
-This is your fault.
-Emma.
[clears throat]
Sir, I'm gonna
have to ask you to leave.
You're disturbing my place
and these people.
[indistinct conversations]
It's her fault.
She doesn't know how
to make a damn cup of coffee.
Whatever the reason is,
I don't care.
Now leave,
or I'm calling the cops.
Okay. Okay.
[clears throat]
Uh, your bill.
[sighs]
[bills rustling]
Have a good day.
What the hell are
y'all looking at?
[indistinct conversations]
Nosy-ass people.
[applause]

[crickets chirping]
[sighs]
[liquid bubbling]
[doorbell rings]
[knock on door]
[doorbell rings]
[bubbling stops]
-[dog barking in distance]
-Yes?
Hello.
I'm Wanda.
I'm Jeremiah's sister.
You're what?
You have a pretty house.
Thank you so much.
I mean...
it's quite cute.
I hope you don't mind me asking,
but why are you here?
I like how
you come to the point.
Lexie, I'm sure you have
a lot of questions
on your mind right now,
but I just came to tell you
that Jeremiah loves you a lot.
And he would
do anything to get you back.
Thank you.
I'm flattered, but...
[inhales deeply] that ship
sailed long before he got on it.
Lexie, look, I know
why you mad at Jeremiah,
but trust me, he's a good man.
And sure, he loses his temper
from time to time,
but he seems more committed
and connected to you
than anyone else.
I never seen him so happy
before he met you.
I know this isn't
my place to tell, but...
Jeremiah and I went through
a lot when we were children,
and he was
always protective of me.
The things we've been through,
it's a lot to handle.
He's done pretty good
working through those issues.
Sometimes they come up
every now and then, but...
but he means right.
So, Lexie, please.
Give Jeremiah another chance.
He's a good guy.
He'll keep you happy.

The decision is up to you.
Lexie, Jeremiah is more
than ready
to spend the rest of his life
with a wonderful woman like you.
And trust me, he will wait
for you as long as it takes.
But at the end of the day,
that decision is yours to make.
I'll see myself out.
You have a good night.
Good night.
[footsteps depart]
[door opens]
[door closes]

[chuckles] You're up early.
Yeah, well, been asleep
right next to you.
[chuckles]
-[sizzling]
-What's wrong?
Your eggs are burning.
-[sighs]
-[stove knob clicking]
[utensil clattering]
Well, I hope
you like your eggs burnt.
Ha! Ain't afraid
of no burnt eggs.
All right.
[clank]
[chuckles]
This is one
hell of a masterpiece.
[gasps] Well, it's your fault
for kissing me.
[laughs]
Don't blame me, woman.
Just giving you the love
I think you deserve.
I love you. You know that?
Mm. Well, I already love you.

[telephone ringing in distance]
[laughter in background]
[cellphone chimes]
[telephone continues ringing]
MAURICE: Lexie,
don't forget our date tonight.
Meet me at the museum at 8.
[touchpad clicking]

I close my eyes
I try to dream
Picture perfect in my mind
ain't what it seems
A thousand tries
Till I succeed
Together
we're beyond infinity
Like an hourglass
sinking fast
Seconds, minutes, hours pass
I'm still trying
to figure it out
What is time?
I wanna know
What is time?
Tell me, tell me
What is time?
Don't live your life
like a clock on the wall

What is time?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

We chase the clock
We go our ways
Feels like getting loose
And trapped
in a darkest maze
What is time?
I wanna know
What is time?
Tell me,
tell me what is time?
Don't live your life
like a clock on the wall

So, did you have
a good time tonight?
Of course. I enjoy spending
every day with you.
All right. I like that.
You know what I enjoy
doing even more, though?
What is that?
Eating dessert.
Ooh. I can definitely
go for some dessert.
There's actually
this ice cream spot
right around the corner that
my homeboy be telling me about.
Why'd you stop?
[chuckles] Okay. All right.
I should have caught that.
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
What's the rush?
Trying to get some dessert.
What is time?
I wanna know
What is time?

What is time?
[song echoing]
Did you make those
with charcoal or graphite?
Number 2 pencil.
Mm.
What was
your inspiration for her?
Mm.
She kind of encapsulates
the entirety of femininity.
You got the long hair.
You got the love bit rooted.
Strong, elegant, vivacious
all at the same time.
Gotta put it to the--
put it to the pad, you know?
And her?
That's same type of energies.
Wow. Tender and ferocious
all in one.
I got Biggie right here.
Gotta pay homage to that.
He's one of my favorites.
Gucci Mane right here.
Rick Ross. Lud Foe.
Something about seeing...
caricatures of real life people
brings forth more emotions.
I don't know.
LEXIE: I'm not sure
what to really think about us.
I know I taste
better than that ice cream,
but he seems to be more
into everything else but me.
[glasses thud]
[telephone ringing in distance]
[beep]
[line rings]
[ring]
Hey, it's Jeremiah.
Leave a message if you want,
and I'll get back to you.
[beep]
[cellphone clatters]
[wind blowing]

[sighs]
What are we doing?
[cellphone chimes]
[touchpad clicks]
[birds chirping]
Hey.
Hey, Lexie.
Long time no see.
You look amazing.
Well, you look pretty good,
too, yourself, Jeremiah.
Thank you.
How you been?
I've been good.
Oh, come--come and have a seat.
I've been thinking
about you a lot lately.
And I owe you an apology.
I've been going to therapy,
and I've been working
really, really hard
on my anger and control issues.
That's...great, Jeremiah.
I'm really happy for you.
Man, you look more beautiful
than the last time I saw you.
Lexie...
I want you to know...
that you're
the only woman for me.
And I hope...
Hope you feel like
I'm the only man for you.
Jeremiah...
I'm flattered,
but I just don't see myself
making the same mistakes
I made in the past.
Come on, Lexie.
People change.
Why don't
you give us another shot?
You're right.
People do change...
which is why I don't see us
going back to who we were.
We're not going
back to the past.
We're going forward.
Something new.
Still love me, right?
So, what is it?
It's not like
you're seeing someone else.
Are you?
What's his name?
What's his name?
No. Jeremiah.
I'm not gonna do this again.
Do what?
Somewhere down the road...
I gotta go.
We hit a dead end
Dead end
So, I tried, tried and tried
It only made me cry,
made me cry
And now
there's nowhere to go
LEXIE: I have Maurice,
but I keep thinking
about Jeremiah.
What keeps pulling me
back to my past?
I wonder, has he changed?
Maybe he has changed.
SINGER: Oh-oh-oh
[line ringing]
Hey, it's Jeremiah.
Leave a message if you want,
and I'll get back to you.
-[beep]
-SINGER: Girlfriend
Jeremiah, it's Lexie.
I had some time to think
about what you said today.
Let's talk.
SINGER: Tried and tried,
it only made me cry
Made me cry, and now there's
nowhere to go from here
We hit a dead end
A dead end
[sighs heavily]
[cellphone ringing]
Hello?
Lexie, Mom is in the hospital.-
-What?
It's serious.
You need to come now.
Why? What happened?
Is she okay?
I don't know.
Lexie, just come, please.
Okay, okay. I'm on my way.
[beep]
Lexie, what's wrong?
Looks like you've seen a ghost.
My mom--she's at the hospital.
I don't know what happened.
I just know
I really need to go right now.
Lexie, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm sorry. Let me drive you.
No, thank you.
I'll drive myself.
Look, Lexie, stop.
You got too much to worry about.
Let me drive you.
You sure?
I don't wanna impose.
Don't worry about that
right now.
You need to worry about your
mother. I'm taking you, okay?
Okay. Look, I'm-a get you
there as fast as I can.

Fortunately, she suffered a, uh,
minor heart attack.
She is stable.
However,
we would like to keep her
in observation
for a couple of days.
Thanks, Doctor.
Yeah, thank you so much.
I'll, um, leave you both to it.
[crying]
I'm-a go see Mom.
Are you gonna be okay
right here for a second?
-Yeah. Go ahead.

[sniffles]
[elevator bell dings]
[indistinct conversations]
[elevator bell dings]
Thanks for being here, Jeremiah.
Where else would I be?
How's your mom?
Stable for now.
They're keeping her
for observation.
[indistinct announcement
over P.A.]
That's good to hear.

Beneath the starlit sky
Our love's secret line
Like leaves...
Lex...
everything's
gonna be all right.
Beneath the moonlight
I'm starting to believe that.
Gets me every time
[doorbell rings]
Oh, uh, package
for Lexie Jackson.
Yeah, that's me.
Oh, okay.
Sign right here for me.
Thank you.
All right. Thank you.
Wow.
It's gotta be Maurice.
Maybe this is
the season of love
Maybe this is
the season of love
You look amazing tonight.
Well, thanks, Ethan.
You look pretty sharp yourself.
Thank you.
[jazz vocalist singing]
We won't give up on dancing,
and across the floor we fly
What's on your mind?
Oh, it's nothing.
You sure?
In the air
Okay.
I hold you so close
I think you must hear
my heart tingle
We're heading home
[chuckles]
That Impossible steak
was impossibly good.
[laughter]
It looked good. I see. I should
have had some of that.
I mean, mine was cool,
but yours looked amazing.
I mean, have you always
been vegetarian?
Only two years.
Mm.
It aligns
with my values now, you know?
I totally get that.
I mean, I've been trying to cut
back on meat myself, honestly.
-Really?
-Yeah.
It's...health issues and...
LEXIE: With Ethan,
it feels different. Lighter.
Just two people
here in the moment.
Is this what
it's supposed to feel like?
WESS MORGAN:
And every time I turn around
Trying to get my feet back
on the ground
Many tears I had to cry
Sometimes
it felt like I could die
LEXIE: Is this a new beginning
or a sign to revisit the past?
-WESS MORGAN: Storm
-Storm
-The rain
-Rain
-The hurt
-Hurt
-pain
-Pain
-Storm
-Storm
MAURICE: It's been a while.
Can we talk?
WESS MORGAN: The pain
-I can take the storm
-Storm
-The rain
-Rain
-All the hurt
-Hurt
-Pain
-Pain
-I can take the storm
-Storm
-And all the rain
-Rain
-The hurt
-The hurt
The pain,
'cause you gave me hope
Hope
Lord, you gave me joy
Right in the midst
of the storm
Right in the midst
of the storm
When my life was broken
and torn
You wiped away the pain
THAN: Had a great time tonight.E
Want to grab brunch
this weekend?
WESS MORGAN:
I wanna thank you, Lord
Wanna thank you, Lord
Thank you
for a brand-new day
Yeah, yeah
Brand-new day
I wanna thank you, Lord
LEXIE:
Is something missing here?
WESS MORGAN:
For a brand-new day
LEXIE: Why do I feel like
I'm waiting for the shoe
to drop?
My, my-my-my, my-my-my
I wanna thank you, Lord
For a brand-new day
Ooh. Thank you.
This looks good.
-Thank you.
-Dig in.
All right.
I am excited to dig into this.
Speaking of excited,
I have a surprise for you.
Really?
[cellphone alert chimes]
Check your phone.
What is it?
Just check your phone.

I got us tickets to the concert.
I knew you love this artist,
so...
[gasps]
[Ethan chuckles]
Ethan, that's so thoughtful
of you.
I aim to please.
Um...
I...just knew that, uh,
something to you.
So, I took a listen, and, man,
I could definitely
say, like,
Wess Morgan is amazing.
I mean, I enjoy his music.
And like I said, that song
"Tears" really, really got me.
Um...
Yeah, and, uh...
[voice echoing] I wanted
to see his concert, but--
LEXIE: This is almost
too good to be true.
Is this even sustainable?
Can anyone be this perfect?
Or am I walking
into a beautiful illusion
destined to shatter?

[cellphone alert chimes]
[touchpad clicks]
[Ethan's voice echoing
indistinctly]
[sighs]
What do I really want?

[cellphone alert chimes]
[touchpad clicks]
JEREMIAH: [voice echoing]
It's important.
[sighs]
[birds chirping]

[sighs]
[touchpad clicks]
Hey, what's going on, y'all?
It's Ethan, doing one
of my morning walks.
And I just feel like
talking about love.
It's not
about how good you look,
and it's definitely
not about being perfect.
It's about being real,
being vulnerable,
and being brave enough
to show it.
LEXIE:
He seems to have it all--
charm, thoughtfulness,
emotional intelligence.
He's almost...too perfect.
[cellphone chimes]
ETHAN: [voice echoing]
How'd you sleep?
[touchpad clicking]
[cellphone alert chimes]
ETHAN: [voice echoing]
See you tonight.
LEXIE: Why is it that
the more perfect things seem,
the more I question them?
Am I looking for flaws
that aren't there,
or is it my gut
trying to tell me something?
[groans]
You look
absolutely stunning tonight.
Mm.
Well, you don't look
too bad yourself, Ethan.
Thank you.
Wow. This looks incredible.
And you even knew where
to put all the silverware.
Well, when I have
someone as beautiful as you,
I like to be
on my best behavior.
[both chuckle]
Shall we eat?
I made all this for you.
All for me?
Well, maybe some of this
were leftovers I had.
[clicks teeth]
[chuckles] Relax.
I'm just joking.
Ah. [chuckles]
So, that's pretty much
how I spend my college years.
Just exams,
books, and occasional parties.
What about you?
Ah, you know, the usual.
Studying, partying, friendships.
Some reckless decisions
here and there.
Mm. [chuckles]
Reckless decisions?
A rite of passage,
wouldn't you say? [chuckles]
Absolutely.
You know, you've been pretty
open about your college years.
Mm-hmm.
You never
really talked about how
you spent life after that.
What did you do
after graduation?
Mm.
Nothing particular. Just...
work, work, and more work.
I...um...
I didn't really have time
for nothing else. It's...
I don't wanna bore you
with the details.
Sure, but it's never
really boring to learn
more about someone
you care about, right?
Perhaps some other time.
Today should be
about the person.
Right?
Right.
So...you and Ethan, huh?
Things are getting
pretty serious.
I mean, it's different with him.
It's comfortable.
No drama.
-Ooh.
-No chaos. [scoffs]
And after everything
I've been through,
it's a welcome change.
So, this Ethan guy
sounds like a real catch.
You know, charming
and considerate
and successful. Okay.
But, I mean,
there's gotta be...something.
That's just it, Brooke.
I can't find the catch.
It's unnerving.
It's almost like
he's too...perfect?
Ugh.
I mean, is that even possible?
Well, wait.
Comfortable is good, Lex.
Comfortable's good.
But is it enough?
I mean...
do you see a future with him?
[scoffs]
I don't know.
I guess I never really
thought that far ahead.
Mm.
Right now
I'm just...enjoying my peace.
You know what they say, Lexie.
Sometimes people
can wear a mask for years.
Okay?
It's easy to get caught up
in the romance of things
and ignore all the red flags.
Exactly. And remember,
comfort's a double-edged sword.
You just don't wanna
get too comfortable,
let your guard down, and then
you end up getting hurt by him.
That's fair. I definitely
don't want to get hurt again.
[sighs]
You know what?
You're both right.
I've just been so used
to emotional roller coasters
that the thought
of something stable
seems so good and foreign.
Maybe it's too good to be true.
I should tread carefully.
Look, simple and good is...
it's what we all strive for.
But if your gut
is telling you
that something seems...off,
listen to it.
Sometimes too good to be true
is just that--
a faade.
[sighs]
You're right.
I've just been so eager
to find something stable that...
I may have overlooked
a few signs.
Exactly. Yes.
Keep your eyes open, Lexie.
And remember,
you're not alone, okay?
We care about you.
We're here for you.
And you can always turn to me
for realistic perspective.
[laughs]
Okay, Brooke. Okay, slow down.
You had a little bit
too much to drink.
Lex, look, it doesn't mean
that it's a faade.
Just have a conversation.
Make sure you're both
on the same page
emotionally speaking.
You don't wanna get hurt,
but you don't
wanna hurt him either.
[sighs]
Okay. It's time I have
a serious talk with him.
There you go. So, cheers
to making good choices.
-To making good choices.
-Come on, Brooke.
[sighs] To making good choices.
[glasses clink, laughter]

[cellphone alert chimes]
[touchpad clicks]
LEXIE: What's going on here?
Ethan seems like
the perfect match.
But yet Jeremiah
still has this hold on me.
What do I really want?
With Ethan,
it's like reading a book
with a predictable,
comforting plot.
But with Jeremiah,
it's like an intricate novel
full of twists and turns
hat both excite and terrify me.t
[sighs]
[cellphone alert chimes]
I can see so clear, ooh
You've been real
You said you never would
forsake me
Forsake me
You're my savior,
you're my shield
Ooh
I really enjoy spending time
with you, Lexie.
You're someone special,
not for nothing.
Like you did in Galilee
I feel the same way, Ethan.
I'm so grateful
for the Holy Spirit
You've given me
Mm-mm
But there's something I've been
meaning to talk to you about.
All right.
What's on your mind?
Yeah
You see, in the past,
I've made a habit of ignoring
red flags in relationships.
And I told myself
I wouldn't do that again.
And believe me,
you've been amazing.
[chuckles]
But...I just can't help but feel
like you're holding back.
Mm.
Almost like
you're hiding something.
I can see so clear, so clear
After the rain
Am I wrong?
Now that my tears are gone
Now that my tears
are gone
You're not wrong.
No more
I do hold back sometimes.
But it's not because
I don't care about you, Lexie.
It's because I'm afraid.
Afraid of what?
Afraid of...
losing something good.
I've made--
I've made mistakes, Lexie--
mistakes I'm not proud of.
I'm afraid my past will catch up
to me and ruin this.
Ethan, we all have a past.
You know, what matters is
who you are today
and who you strive to become.
And...striving to become
someone worthy of you.
But I do have fears.
Fears of failing in my career.
Fears of not living up
to the person I strive to be.
Fears of failing
in this relationship.
[sighs]
It's okay, Ethan.
Look...
vulnerability--
it's not a sign of weakness.
It's a sign that you're human.
Listen, uh, Lexie,
I know I should have
told you this earlier,
but the reason why
I didn't tell you
about my life after college
is because I...
Because...
after graduation,
I met the so-called
love of my life,
and...I...
...got married.
What?!
Why didn't you tell me this?
Well, I-I just--I...
Are you still married?
What? No.
No, we are not still married.
We've been divorced
for 10 months,
but we've been separated
two and a half,
close to three years.
[sighs]
For a while,
I did try to get back with her
and work things out.
But as time went on, I realized
that was not gonna happen.
I didn't tell you because...
I realized that I'd closed
that chapter in my life
a long time ago,
and I've been ready to move on
with the right person.
And when was
the last time you saw her?
Oh...two weeks ago.
-Two weeks?!
-That was just to give her
her mail that I received.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure you received
the package, all right.
You know what, Ethan?
We all have a past.
But how do you hide the fact
that you were married?
I'm truly sorry, Lexie.
I wasn't trying to hide
anything from you. I...
I didn't tell you because
I didn't wanna bring up
old hurts and pains.
You know what, Ethan?
It's very clear to me
that you and I were not
on the same page, all right?
And I need time to figure out
what the hell this is.
Hell, I need time to figure out
what I want right now.
But this?
This ain't giving. Okay?
Okay. Okay.
Where the hell is the door?
It's...
WESS MORGAN:
Hold on, friend
Trouble soon
Will end
Brighter days
Will soon be on their way
Life has pain
Sometimes sunshine
Sometimes rain
Just alone
Go ahead and cry
It's all right
Weeping only endures
for a night
Go ahead and cry
Keep the fight
And He will be right
by your side
Go ahead and cry
'Cause sometimes
You need to clear your sight
Go ahead and cry
[voices echo]
Go ahead and cry
[voice echoing] You decide
to come see a therapist?
[normal voice]
Tell me what's on your mind.
I don't know
what's wrong with me.
It's like my choice in men.
I'm drawn to the complexity,
the emotional roller coasters.
Why can't I just find something
more simple
and just be happy with that?
Well, relationships often
do mirror
the emotional obstacles
that we need to overcome
within our own selves.
Have you considered that?
[sighs] I mean, yes,
but it's exhausting.
I keep--I keep
going back and forth
between someone
who challenges me
emotionally and intellectually
and someone who
just makes my life easier.
Is it too much to ask
to have both?
No. No, Lexie,
it's not too much to ask for.
But it may be a lot
to expect out of one person.
See...
you're looking for a balance,
and that's perfectly normal.
But the bigger question is,
are you able to find
that balance in you first?
I don't know.
[voice breaking]
All I know is that I'm tired.
I'm tired of second guessing.
I'm tired of overthinking
every relationship.
I'm just tired.
[sniffles]
I just...
I just wanna be happy.
[sniffles]
And you deserve to be, Lexie.
But happiness is a journey.
It's not a destination.
And sometimes
it's about making hard choices.
voice echoes] And then learning[
to live with those choices.
Choices, choices.
I hate making choices.
[cellphone alert chimes]
[touchpad clicks]
What do I really want?
[cellphone alert chimes]
[sighs]
Sexy baby
I'm gonna stay right here
Don't leave me be, yeah
Can't let you go
I can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go, yeah
Can't let you go
Can't let you go, yeah
Can't let you go
I can't, I can't let
I can't let,
I can't let, yeah, yeah
I can't let, I can't let,
yeah, yeah
I can't let you go
You can't tell me
to let go, baby
Can't let you go
'Cause I love you,
I love you
Can't let you go
'Cause I love you, yeah
Can't let you go
Why do so many
relationships fail?
Love is important,
ut it's not enough on its own.b
Love can't carry
an entire relationship.
-[cellphone ringing]
It's about your self-awareness,-
your growth in a partnership.
WOMAN #1: What do you mean
by self-awareness?
-[ringing stops, beep]
-Self-awareness is not...
-Hey, girl.
-BROOKE: Hey, Lexie.
Oh, my goodness.
It's been forever.
How have you been?
Yeah, it has.
I've just been focused on me.
I decided to, you know,
have some me time.
But I've been good.
How have you been doing?
Uh, same ol', same ol'.
[chuckles]
Hey, we should grab coffee
or something this week.
How's Thursday?
Yeah, Thursday works for me.
Fantastic.
Oh, and by the way,
there's someone
who's been asking about you.
Who?
[chuckles]
Oh, just a good-looking,
very talented artist,
goes by the name Maurice Clark.
Really? How is he doing?
Oh, he's good. His paintings
are in high demand.
I mean, I am making a killing
off the commissions from them.
And he's not
doing too bad either.
And I know
he likes to spoil his woman,
so you should really think about
giving him a second chance.
I mean, I know
he really, really likes you.
Brooke...look...
WOMAN #2:
..be clear about your needs....
I'm flattered, really, but...
It's time I focus on myself,
you know?
Besides, I feel like
I was rebounding with Maurice.
I should have
just taken the time for myself
before getting involved
with anyone else.
Okay. Where is Lexie?
Because you sound
like Tiffany right now.
Babe, you don't have
a ring on your finger.
And there is nothing wrong
ith having a little fun, right?w
[chuckles]
Especially with a good-looking,
handsome, talented bachelor
like Maurice.
All right. Mm-hmm.
Bye, Brooke. [scoffs]
I'll see you Thursday.
Okay, bye.
WOMAN #1: So, it's not about
finding the right person.
WOMAN #2: Exactly.
It's not just about finding
the right person.
It's about becoming the right
person for yourself first.
Lexie, you have been
making excellent progress.
Tell me how you're feeling
about your relationships now.
I've come to realize that,
you know,
my choices in partners
reflect unresolved issues
from my childhood.
And I'm--I'm working on that.
I feel like it's helping me
see things a lot more clearly.
That's good, Lexie.
That is really good.
Excuse me. Can you come over
here and take a look
and see if anything
speaks out to you?
-Selling artwork today.
-Okay, let me see what you got.
-Oh, you do these?
-Yes, sir.
Can you imagine all these was
made by these hands right here?
These are good.
Thank you. Um, do you see
anything that speaks out to you
or anything
that you kind of like?
Um...not really.
All right, how about this?
Okay.
And I'm-a let you in
on a little secret.
Today the special is
buy one, get one half off.
The secret is my artwork gon' be
seen around the whole world.
So, right now would be
a good opportunity for the Lolo.
Plus, I do custom work.
-Custom?
-Yes, sir. Custom work.
Actually, I got an idea.
What you have in mind?
That's a significant step
forward.
But how do
you feel about yourself?
[sighs] That's a good question.
I feel...happier.
But also a little bit
overwhelmed sometimes.
And right now I'm just in
a place where I'm trying
to figure out what the right
choice is for me, you know?
Love isn't just about choosing
the right person.
Lexie, it's about
being the right person.
And have you thought about
what that would mean to you?
Not as much as I should have,
you know?
I've been so focused on
evaluating the men
that I've dated
that I lost sight of what
it means to evaluate myself
and how I move in relationships.
Well, it is a common tendency
for us to look
on the outward when it comes
to evaluating relationships.
But it's equally as important
to look on what's inside.
See, being the right person,
it means understanding
what my needs are,
also to defining
what my boundaries are,
and then being a significant
help to my partner.
It's a two-way street.
Yeah, you're right.
I've been so focused
on trying to find perfect person
that I...I failed to realize
that it's about me being
a better partner as well.
Exactly.
And remember that you both
are a work in progress.
See, we shouldn't
just look for perfection.
That's not gonna happen.
It's about finding someone
that complements
our imperfections
and then vice versa.
Wow, that's so beautifully said.
I really needed to hear that.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So, how'd
your therapy session go?
It was...enlightening.
You know,
I'm beginning to understand
why I've made the choices
I have in relationships,
and I've been working on some
deep-seated issues
from my past, so...
Hey, that's courageous, Lex.
Self-discovery
can be challenging.
Mm-hmm. It is,
but it's also incredibly
liberating in a way.
You know, I feel like
I'm peeling back layers
and getting closer
to the core of who I am,
you know, what I really
need in a relationship, so...
That's incredible, Lex.
You know,
I can truly see the growth
since you started going
to therapy.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks, Tiff.
Just takes some time, you know?
Well, good things
take time, right?
Right, and I'm worth the wait.
[laughs] Yes, ma'am.
Well, hey, look, I gotta go,
but when I get back,
let's get together.
Love you, girl.
All right.
Sounds good. Love you, too.
[computer chimes]
Hmm.
[cellphone alert chimes]
[touchpad clicks]
ETHAN: Hey, Lexie.
It's been a while.
I've been thinking about you.
I hope you're doing well.
Listen, I'm here for you.
I'm ready to talk,
so just let me know.
No rush, no pressure.
Take care.

[sighs]
LEXIE: Should I even engage?
This can either be
a much needed closure
or reignite an old flame.
Or maybe
it's time to face the past
and close this chapter
once and for all.
Should I take
this leap of faith?
I just need to be careful
not to get swept away
by an emotional current.

[sighs]
[beep]

JEREMIAH: Hello?
Hello?
All right. I'm ready to listen.
But we need
some healthy boundaries
for this conversation.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Lexie, thank you
for meeting me here.
I missed you.
I missed you, too.
But...I'm trying to understand
if I really miss you
or...the idea of you.
Let me ask you this question.
You believe in true love, right?
I'd like to think so.
Well, good.
That's why I had
to meet you in person.
[sighs]
I know this conversation's
long overdue,
but I need to know,
can people really change?
I'd like to think so.
The real question is...
are you willing to find out?
Lexie...
let me show you something.
[gasps and laughs]
Oh, my God, Jeremiah. It's...
It's perfect!
That's exactly how I see you.
Every heartbeat
Perfection.
Every breath
Is filled with thoughts
of you
I am so lost...
Lexie...
Without you
And I don't know what to do

Will you marry me?
And that brings us to today.
While my journey wasn't easy,
it's made me who I am.
And it's made me
a better person
at navigating the complexities
of relationships.
That, and hopefully a therapist
that can help others
do the same.
Well, Lexie, that was
incredibly enlightening.
It's comforting to know
that even a therapist
has had her share
of relationship challenges.
Yeah, it was actually
very reassuring.
It makes what we're
going through more tolerable.
Well, I'm glad that my story can
help bring a new perspective.
And it's essential
to remember, you know,
at the end of the day, trials
and tribulations in love--
no one's exempted from that.
So, what's the next step for us?
Well, the next step would be
what therapy is all about--
open and honest conversation.
Same way I had to go through
my imperfections
and vulnerabilities,
you, too, will reach a point
where you need to crack down
the issues of why you came
in here in the first place.
Hmm. And...we're...
ready to try.
Hmm?
[mouths word]
[chuckles]
Well, that's all we could
ask for at the end of day--
someone who's willing
to try their best.
Well, that and you should always
remember you're never alone.
You have each other,
and you have this amazing place
to explore, to grow,
and hopefully heal.
[knock on door]
Come in.
[door opens]
Hey.
[Lexie giggles]
Everyone, this...is my husband.
Hope I'm not interrupting.
I just thought
you might like to go to lunch.
Yes, Ethan.
Oh, Ethan. [chuckles]
Hey.
It is a pleasure to meet you.
Pleasure's all mine.
Listen, your wife has been
incredibly helpful.
Well, she is the best
at making things better.
Well, your story
has certainly given us
a lot to think about, Lexie.
Yeah. And we are ready
to take our first steps
inspired by the stories
that you've told us.
[chuckles] Well,
I'm delighted to hear that.
And I'm really excited
to help you
navigate through your journey
as well.
-You ready?
-Mm-hmm.
Let's go.
[chuckles]
Oh, these are so beautiful.
Thank you.
Only the best
for the woman I love.
[chuckles]
Wow. We've sure come
a long way, haven't we?
We have.
And I'd take that journey
a thousand times over
as long as it's with you.
[laughs]
WESS MORGAN: I'm just glad
you bring me out
Might be days and days
with no end
I am so blessed
Living the faithful life
Yes, I am

Nothing compares

I see you have given me
-You've given me

Ooh, ooh

Giving me everything I need.
I've never asked
for any more
[vocalizing]
So happy
Yes, I am
Living this faithful life
'Cause y'all know
it's a good life.

Where the table is fresh
[vocalizing]
I'm so blessed
Can't be stressed
