You Send Me Flying
Lent you outsiders and my new Badu
While you were thinking
I didn't have a clue
Tough to sort files with your voice in my head
So
then I bribed you downstairs with a Marlboro red
And now I feel so small
discovering you knew
How much more torture would you have put me through?
You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes
Or how I did not mind when you
stole all my smokes
And although my pride is not easy to disturb
You sent me
flying when you kicked me to the curb
With your battered jeans and your
beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me
And although he's nothing in the scheme of my years
It just
serves to bludgeon my futile tears
And I'm not use to this, no, no; I
observe, yeah, I don't chase
So now I sit with consequences, thrust in my
face
And the melodramas of my day deliver blows
That surpass your
rejection it just goes to show
A simple attraction that reflects right back
to me
So I'm not as into you as I appear to be
And although my pride is not easily disturbed
You sent me
flying when you kick-kicked me to the curb
With your battered jeans and your
beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me
His message was brutal but the delivery was kind
Maybe if I
get this down I'll get it off my mind
It serves to condition me and smoothed
my kinks
Despite my frustration for the way that he thinks
And I knew the
truth, when it came, would be to that effect
At least you're attracted to me
which I did not expect
Didn't think you get my number down and such
But I
never hated myself for my age so much
And although my pride is not easy to disturbed
You sent me
flying when you kicked me to the curb
So with your battered jeans and your
beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me
Know You Now
You're just a little boy underneath that hat
You need your
nerve to hide your ego - don't come with that
You think everything is handed
to you free
But it's not that easy, no
I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta
know you now and then
My girl says I'm too sensitive to ride with you
But I'm
not listening to her, mm hm
Yes I'm perceptive so when I've dance with you
you'll whisk your head back the way it were
As you were
I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta
know you now and then
Oh, I'm not ruling you out
I'm just in doubt as to what
you say you're all about, yeah
I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta
show you now and them
I gotta know you now and then
I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
Help Yourself
When I walk in your shoes
I understand a man confused
There must have been but I don't care
I feel the way your soul does there
Darling they empathise
Looking through your bloodshot eyes
And I
know you you're so frustrated
Above we all become what we once hated
Be
slight nobody can be that wise
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
I can't help ya
if you don't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone yeah
You can get so much from me
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
You've got a degree a in philosophy
So you think you're
cleverer than me
But I'm not just some drama queen
Cos it's where you're
at not where you've been
So what do you expect from me
To hold your head
above the sea
And there are you even though you're bigger
Cos don't you
know you crush my tiny figure
And anyway we're still so young
And this
isn't yet the day
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
I can't help ya
if you don't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone yeah
I
can't help ya if you won't help yourself
You might be twenty-five but in my mind
I see you at
sixteen years or most of the time
And I'm just a child and you're full grown
And no I'm nothing like I've ever known yeah
I'm nothing like I've ever
known
Rehab
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got
the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
but I won't go go go
I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn
from Mr Hathaway
I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a
shot glass
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got
the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
but I won't go go go
The man said 'why do you think you here'
I said 'I got no
idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
He said 'I just think you're depressed,
Kiss me, yeah baby, and go rest'
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a
friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend
It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have
dried
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got
the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
but I won't go go go
Back To Black
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his
same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without
my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went
through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back
to black
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love
puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls
inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back
to
I go back to
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black
Some Unholy War
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
I would be behind
him
Straight shook up beside him
With strength he didn't know
It's you
I'm fighting for
He can't lose with me in tow
I refuse to let him go
At
his side and drunk on pride
We wait for the blow
We put it in writing
But who you writing for
Just us on
kitchen floor
Justice done,
Reciting my stomach standing still
Like
you're reading my will
He still stands in spite of what his scars say
And
I'll battle 'til this bitter finale
Just me, my dignity and this guitar case
Yes my man is fighting some unholy war
And I will stand
beside you
And who you dying for
B - I would have died too
I'd have
liked too
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
If my man was fighting
