Erykah Badu:
What am I supposed to do, when I want you in my world?
How can I want you for myself, when Im already someone else's girl?
(2x)
Verse One:
Look at you, with your cool blue eyes and ladylike stride/
May try you up but don't try your luck, I don't get tied up in no wires/
Refuse to be burned by desire, like rubber smoke, off tires/
If you down for the ride, lets go (get in)... and show the globe what we got/
I thought "Ill never slow down." But I ain't never seen a woman so hot before/
As we warmed up to each other so'd you, even told you about my old boo/
Even showed you the stupid old tune that I made for her on New Years/
Shed few tears over you, I can't lie/
Which for the record: I never tried to do, not once/
Yet Im the one wearing the dunce cap, still remember once at my place/
You gazed in my face and straight up stated you saw yourself falling for me/
Wanted to leap out my skin in excitement/
This is gonna begin an exciting chapter for us what I thought that might have meant/
In spite of events that followed, Ill still do it all over again/
Dont regret a single cent spent on Christmas, you intended gift less/
Still insistent I drew you a card so f**ing cute I might puke thinking bout it now/ (Aww)
Matter fact, wheres the toilet at?/
What we had, why'd you spoil that?/
Might've understood if you did, what could've been? well never know, you never asked:
(Hook) 2x
Verse Two:
You were in a tough position, I understand that/
But you and I both know, thats not how you handle that/
Told you from the jump, Im not doing halves/
Don't worry, don't be mad he's history now, just a friend you said/
Which in hindsights pretty f**ing dumb for me to believe/
Thats just the trust I had, which you crushed like gla**/
Hope it cuts and gashes your hands/
Can't believe I used to stand by your side at night when you cried to my ear about your dad/
One of many similarities we had/
Both hated lying, but loved lions, its hilarious, cause you was lying/
You really thought you could hide it? come on, I went to prom with the guy/
He called me on my cell, begun to tell everything that you told him/
"couple weeks here, couple weeks there?" b**h a couple weeks we was cuddling bare/
I wish I wasn't still angry, I wish I didn't still care/
I wish I didn't toss and turn some nights just cause I miss you there/
I wish that it didn't have to be this way, and these weren't words I need to say/
I wish each letter didn't eat away, I wish for a better way for me to say
That it still hurts... you looked me right in my eyes, and promised that theres no one else/
Yet there you go... with Someone Else./
