My People - Erykah Badu

My eyes are green

'Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don’t have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green

'Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don’t have nothing to do with your new friend

I don’t care, I swear

I’m too through with you, I am

You don’t mean nothing to me

So go ahead and be with your friend

My eyes are green

'Cause I eats a lot of vegetables

It don’t have nothing to do with your new friend

I’m insecure

But I can’t help it

My mind says move on

My heart lags behind

But I don’t love you any more

I’m so insecure

Never knew that love did this

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I can’t remember the last time I felt this way

About somebody

You’ve done something to my mind

And I can’t control it

But I don’t love you any more

Yes, I do, I think

Loving you is wrong

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

La-di-da

Dum-dee-da-da

Dum-didi-da-di-da-di-da

Dum-didi-da-di-dum-di

I’m so confused

You tried to trick me, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Never knew that love could hurt like this

Never thought I would, but I got dissed

Makes me feel so sad and hurt inside

Feel embarrassed so I want to hide

Silly me—I thought your love was true

Change my name to Silly E. Badu

Before I heal, it’s gonna be a while

I know it’s gonna be a while, chil'

I hope it’s not too late

Too late, too late, too late, too late, too—

Feeling insecure

Love has got me sore

I don’t want no more

Oh, oh

It’s too late, oh, oh ooh, ooh

I’m sorry I love you

At first, it was cool

You told me you loved me, too, ooh

And then you lost your love

Oh, then you lost your love

And then you lost your love

You wanted me to go away

But I can’t go

See, I can’t leave, it’s too late

I can’t leave, it’s too late

I can’t leave, it’s too late

I can’t leave, it’s too late

Just make love to me

Just one more time and then you’ll see

I can’t believe I made a desperate plea

What’s with me?

Me?

Me, yeah, ye-ah, no, oh

You see I can’t leave, it’s too late

I can’t leave, it’s too late

Don’t you know, I can’t leave, it’s too late

Can’t go nowhere, no

It’s too late

It’s too late

It’s too late

It’s too late, yeah

Come on, babe

Don’t you wanna be strong with me?

You told me we could have a family

Wanna run to mama when you’re down and low

But times get tough, and there you go

Ooh, out the door, you wanna run again

Open the arms and you’ll come back in

Wanna run 'cause you say that you were afraid, afraid, oh

Never knew what a friendship was

Never knew how to really love

You can’t be what I need you to

And I don’t know why I fuck with you

I know our love will never be the same

But I can’t stand these growing pains
