Bombadil - Rhapsody in Black and White lyrics
[Bombadil - Rhapsody in Black and White lyrics]
I was talking to my one black friend
Realized she was gorgeous then
I thought we’d be a perfect couple
Too bad she’s got a nice boyfriend
We lived in the same apartment complex
I kept meaning to tell her day after next
I am sure he's cool and probably no trouble
But, I think I am better for you now
Watch me flex
Could you wrap your cocoa arms here
I can’t keep on waiting
Am I gonna have to show you some tears?
Pump up my heart to get respect
We moved apart as people often do
Off to the city when school was through
I thought I’d see her much more often
She’s working as a lawyer up by NYU
Grew up thirty minutes from each other
In the southeast dirt and humid thunder
I always thought we were quite the same
Now she's tying the knot with
A new white lover
Could you turn your midnight eyes here
I can’t keep on waiting
Am I gonna have to show you some tears?
Pump up my heart to get respect
Don't be hating (Hating)
Hating on a boy who thinks you're the best
Waiting on love just like the rest
Wonder if I’ll go to the wedding
Destination in a summer setting
Will I speak or hold my peace?
Forever is the wrong direction to be heading
Can I talk about our love in old age?
Would we be widowed and out of place?
Even if I’m in a rocking chair
I’ll drop my cane at our first embrace
Don't be hating (Hating)
Hating on a boy who thinks you're the best
Waiting on love just like the rest
Could you wrap your cocoa arms here
I can’t keep on waiting
Am I gonna have to show you some tears?
Pump up my heart to get respect
Don't be hating (Hating)
Hating on a boy who thinks you're the best
Waiting on love just like the rest
Don't be hating (Hating)
Hating on a boy who thinks you're the best
Waiting on love just like the rest
Realized she was gorgeous then
I thought we’d be a perfect couple
Too bad she’s got a nice boyfriend
We lived in the same apartment complex
I kept meaning to tell her day after next
I am sure he's cool and probably no trouble
But, I think I am better for you now
Watch me flex
Could you wrap your cocoa arms here
I can’t keep on waiting
Am I gonna have to show you some tears?
Pump up my heart to get respect
We moved apart as people often do
Off to the city when school was through
I thought I’d see her much more often
She’s working as a lawyer up by NYU
Grew up thirty minutes from each other
In the southeast dirt and humid thunder
I always thought we were quite the same
Now she's tying the knot with

Could you turn your midnight eyes here

Pump up my heart to get respect

Waiting on love just like the rest
Don't be hating (Hating)
Hating on a boy who thinks you're the best
Waiting on love just like the rest
