Erykah Badu - Window Seat lyrics
[Erykah Badu - Window Seat lyrics]
Hey hey ohh, ohh, ohhh fell in love
So, presently I'm standing
Here right now, you're so demanding
Tell me what you want from me
Concluding, concentrating on my music, lover
And my babies make me wanna ask a lady
For a ticket outta town
So can I get a window seat?
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around and a safe touch down
Can I get a window seat? (Oh, oh)
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry, and a long bye bye oh, oh
Oh, oh
But I, I need you to want me
I need you to miss me
I, I need yo' attention, yes
I need you next to me
Oh I, I need someone to clap for me (Mm hmm)
I need your direction
Somebody say come back
Come back, baby, come back
(I want you to need me)
Come back, come back, baby, come back (Baby)
Come back, come back, baby, come back
(Want you to need me)
Come back, come back, baby, come back
(Need me, ah)
So, out my mind I'm tusslin'
Back and forth 'tween here and hustlin'
I don't wanna time travel no mo'
I wanna be here, my thinkin'
Say, on this porch I'm rockin'
Back and forth like Lightnin' Hopkins
So if anybody speak to Scotty
Tell him, "Beam me up!"
So can I get a window seat? (Hey)
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around and a safe touch down
Can I get a window seat? (Oh, oh)
Don't want nobody next to me (Hey)
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry, and a long bye bye oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh oh
But I, I need you to miss me
I need somebody, come get me, ooh
I need your attention, yes
And I need your energy and I do
Oh, oh, I, I need someone to clap for me (Uh)
And I need your direction
Somebody say come back (Hey)
Come back, baby, come back
(I want you to need me)
Come back, come back, baby, come back
Come back, come back, baby, come back
(Come look for me, say)
Come back, come back, baby, come back
(Hey, hey)
So can I get a window seat?
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around and a safe touch down oh, oh
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry, and a long bye bye
They play it safe
Are quick to assassinate what they do not
Understand they move in packs ingesting more
And more fear with every act of hate on
One another they feel most
Comfortable in groups
Less guilt to swallow they are
Us this is what we have become afraid to
Respect the individual
A single person within a
Circumstance can move one
To change to love herself to evolve
So, presently I'm standing
Here right now, you're so demanding
Tell me what you want from me
Concluding, concentrating on my music, lover
And my babies make me wanna ask a lady
For a ticket outta town
So can I get a window seat?
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around and a safe touch down
Can I get a window seat? (Oh, oh)
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry, and a long bye bye oh, oh
Oh, oh
But I, I need you to want me
I need you to miss me
I, I need yo' attention, yes
I need you next to me
Oh I, I need someone to clap for me (Mm hmm)
I need your direction
Somebody say come back
Come back, baby, come back
(I want you to need me)
Come back, come back, baby, come back (Baby)
Come back, come back, baby, come back
(Want you to need me)
Come back, come back, baby, come back
(Need me, ah)

Come back, come back, baby, come back
(Come look for me, say)
Come back, come back, baby, come back
