Lauryn Hill - Guarding the Gates lyrics
[Lauryn Hill - Guarding the Gates lyrics]
Everybody, everybody wants to know
Where you're goin' to
What you're runnin' from
What you're goin' through
Where you're comin' from
What you're goin' through
Where you're comin' from
Everybody, everybody wants to know
What you're gonna do, where you're goin' to
'Cause they wanna come, where I'm showin' you
Yes, they wanna come, where I'm showin' you
All that you can be is a spectacle
Following after every single miracle
Watch them marvel at all the joy you have
But they're too important to have
All the joy you have
What a tragedy, you can laugh at me
(You can laugh at me)
You can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
But I'm in love yes, I'm in love
Don't you wish you had real love?
Yes, I'm in love
Tryna fix myself for society
Tryna mix myself for society
But can you tell me
Where is love in anxiety?
Can you tell me, where is love in anxiety?
What you say to me, I don't mind at all
What you say to me
I don't really care at all
'Cause I'm in love
Don't you wish you had real love?
I know you do yes, I'm in love
Watch them speculate on the life you live
Watch them try to hate all the love you give
All the love you give
Everybody, everybody wants to know
Where you're goin' to, 'cause they wanna come
Or so they think until they
Find the cost of it 'Til they find out
Find out what you lost for it
And I'd do it all again 'Cause I found love
'Cause I found love
Don't you wish you had real love?
I know you do yes, I'm in love
Everybody, everybody wants to know
Where you're goin' to
What you're runnin' from
What you're goin' through
Where you're comin' from
What you're goin' through
Where you're comin' from
Everybody, everybody wants to know
What you're gonna do, where you're goin' to
(Where you're goin' to)
'Cause they wanna come (Wanna come)
Where I'm showin' you (Showin' you)
Yes, they wanna come, where I'm showin' you
(Showin' you)
All that you can be is a spectacle
Following after every single miracle
(Miracle) watch them marvel at
(Marvel at) all the joy you
Have (Joy you have)
But they're too important to have
All the joy you have (To have all)
What a tragedy (Tragedy)
You can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
You can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
But I'm in love yes, I'm in love
Don't you wish you had real love?
I know you do yes, I'm in love
So what you say to me
I don't even mind at all
(What you say to me)
What you say to me, I don't even care at all
(What you say to me, I don't even care)
'Cause I'm in love
Don't you wish you had real love?
I know you do
Don't you wish you had real love?
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
These broken thoughts are in my mind
Can't let 'em get down in there
Can't let 'em get down in there
These broken thoughts are in my mind
Can't let 'em get down in there
Can't let 'em get down in there
'Cause I need real love (Guard, Guarding)
I need real love (Guarding)
I'm guarding, guarding the gates, ayy
(The gates, Guard, guarding)
Oh, I'm guarding my gates
Where you're goin' to
What you're runnin' from
What you're goin' through
Where you're comin' from
What you're goin' through
Where you're comin' from
Everybody, everybody wants to know
What you're gonna do, where you're goin' to
'Cause they wanna come, where I'm showin' you
Yes, they wanna come, where I'm showin' you
All that you can be is a spectacle
Following after every single miracle
Watch them marvel at all the joy you have
But they're too important to have
All the joy you have
What a tragedy, you can laugh at me
(You can laugh at me)
You can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
But I'm in love yes, I'm in love
Don't you wish you had real love?
Yes, I'm in love
Tryna fix myself for society
Tryna mix myself for society
But can you tell me
Where is love in anxiety?
Can you tell me, where is love in anxiety?
What you say to me, I don't mind at all
What you say to me
