Nina Simone - The Assignment Song lyrics

"The Assignment"

Bouncing off your wall pathways of my mind
Are on their way another way
For today oh-ho

You want me to see you i cannot see you
You want me to come for you
I cannot come for you you want an assignment
I see no concession
Shall I hang my head with yours and be blue
Send away laughter
And spend all my time come on, darling
Thinking about you
Don't you know there are things I can't do
My mind is on it's way another way
For today oh-ho

My spirit is so foreign you want silence
My spirit is taking flight
But baby you wanna cry tonight
Shall I hang my head with yours
Send away laughter and fun
And spend all my time thinking about you
Only about you
Don't you know there are things
That I can't do my mind is on it's way
Another way for today

Hey, hey
