Lyrics Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu

My People

My eyes are green

Cos I eat a lot of vegetables

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

(3x)

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

Cos I eat a lot of vegetables

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

(3x)

I'm insecure

But I can't help it

My mind says move on

My heart lacks behind

But I don't love you any more

I'm so insecure

Never knew that love did this

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 do

Loving you is wrong baby

Ooh, ooh

La-di-da

Dum-dee-da-da

Dum-didi-da-da-da

Dum-didi-da-dum-di

I'm so confused

You tried to trick me yeah

Ooh, ooh, oh

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 embarrased 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'

[ad-libs]

I hope it's not too late

Too late, too late, too late

Feeling insecure

Your 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 when you was cool

You told me you loved me too, ooh

And then you lost your love (3x)

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 (3x)

Just make love to me

Just one more time and then you'll see

I can't believe I made a desperate plea

Believe me yeah, yeah, 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 no where, no

It's too late (4x)

Yeah

Come on babe

Don't you want be strong with me

You told me we could have a family

Want to run to me when you're down and low

But times get tough and there you go

Out the door, you wanna run again

Open your arms and you'll come back in

Wanna run cos you say you're afraid, afraid

Never knew what a friendship

Never knew how to really love

You can't be what I need you to

And I don't know what is up with you

I know our love will never be the same

But I can't stand the growing pains
