Lyrics:
trouble you've been having for years
Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl,
'Cause it's perfectly clear
Just a human desire to have you come
'Cause everything I see is you
And I don't want no substitute
Baby, I swear it's deja vu
Know that I can't get over you
'Cause everything I see is you
don't know what to do
No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can't ease my aching heart, but you
(why can't you be good to me?)
Be good to me
'Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
And I don't have the time
For your
have to find away to make you
Talk to me.
Why won't you talk to me?
[Chorus]
When did I want to be lonely?
When did I want to be cold?
I can't
see that 'wanting me' look in your eyes
I don't know how I could do without holding you close every night
I've waited so long just to have you to hold
work
You can't eat
Sis
If you don't work, Lord
You can't eat
So you've got to have mind power to deal with starvation
And that's what we're
what I'll do
I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)
I've loved and I've lost
Yeah
It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to
Can't deny
For whatever reason
I feel like I've been wanting you all my life
You don't understand?
I'm so glad we're at the same place
At the same time,
killing me?
I guess this must be infatuation (I want it)
Try to put my finger on what burns me up
It always seems to escape me
And when you have
life
You have to make it baby, so I'm goin'
Make a way to connect
'Cause your face is what I can't forget
I feel like I know you from another life
to do
I want to talk to you
Hey, don't want to talk to you
What you mean by that boy
I don't want to talk to you
I recognize you as being
to do
I want to talk to you
Hey, don't want to talk to you
What you mean by that boy
I don't want to talk to you
I recognize you as being
says Lord as my witness a nigga tellin' the truth
You don't lie after you say Lord as my witness
Did you ever hear OJ say 'Lord as my witness?'
No, he
if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you
to see me red
If I don't get what I want
That's not what you want
I'm not about to take no for an answer
No
If I tell you I can't I'm still gonna
enough
To justify my wanting you
Tell me what you want me to do
I'm not blind and I know
That you want to want me but you can't let go
Come on let go
Sometimes you can't go back
By why'd you have to go
And make a mess like that
Well I just have to say before I let go
Have you ever been low
Have you
For whatever reason
I feel like I've been wanting you all my life
You don't understand?
I'm so glad we're at the same place
At the same time,
Bittersweet
You're gonna be the death of me
I don't want you, but I need you
I love you and hate you at the very same time
See what I want so
Be nice, girl!
You have to pay a price, girl!
They like to give advice, girl!
Don't think about it twice, girl!
It's time to get to work!
Art
Want you to take your broom and swept up my yard
You better brush it good or we could fall apart
Don't give me no shortcut thing you have all day
.
You can't give the riches that go, understand,
But I still daddy I prefer you
You have the standard that I live by yeah
And all the good lovin that I
was wrong
I always thought you'd be by my side
Tonight you're gone
What I want to know baby, what we had was good
How come you don't call me
