Your love is so political
And if it comes back then that's how you know
I got to the stop light then I made 4 rights
Now I'm back where I started and you're back in my life
The further I go the closer I get back to you
I say I moved on till I'm reminded of you
Can somebody help me
Help me get out of this circle.
-Marques Houston
(yes, yes the guy that played Roger on Sister Sister)
This part of the song happens to be the chorus, which means it is repeated over and over and bothers me every time. If you're in a circle, you can't make 4 rights. You would simply be traveling continuously in one direction. In order to make 4 rights you need to be in a square or rectangle or some other sort of angular quadrilateral. How about correcting this glaring and physically impossible lyrical flaw with something like "Help me get out of this trapezoid"? That way the lyrics actually make sense while especially conveying the feeling of being stuck or trapped, if you will. The love Marques sings about may be political, but mathematical? Eh, not so much.
