Rotey, Erykah Badu - Someone Else lyrics
[Rotey, Erykah Badu - Someone Else lyrics]
What am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world?
How can I want you for myself
When Im already someone else's girl?
Look at you
With your cool blue eyes and ladylike stride
May try you up but don't try your luck
I don't get tied up in no wires
Refuse to be burned by
Desire, like rubber smoke, off tires
If you down for the ride, lets go
(get in) and show the globe what we got
I thought "Ill never slow down" But
I ain't never seen a woman so hot before
As we warmed up to each other so'd you
Even told you about my old boo
Even showed you the stupid old tune that
I made for her on New Years
Shed few tears over you, I can't lie
Which for the record: I never tried to do
Not once
Yet Im the one wearing the dunce cap
Still remember once at my place
You gazed in my face and straight up
Stated you saw yourself falling for me
Wanted to leap out my skin in excitement
This is gonna begin an
Exciting chapter for us
What I thought that might have meant
In spite of events that followed
Ill still do it all over again
Don't regret a single cent
Spent on Christmas, you intended gift less
Still insistent I drew you a card so fucking
Cute I might puke thinking bout it now (Aww)
Matter fact, wheres the toilet at?
What we had, why'd you spoil that?
Might've understood if you did, what
Could've been? well never know
You never asked:
You were in a tough position
I understand that but, you and I both know
Thats not how you handle that
Told you from the jump, Im not doing halves
Don't worry, don't be mad he's history now
Just a friend you said
Which in hindsights pretty fucking dumb
For me to believe
Thats just the trust I had
Which you crushed like glass
Hope it cuts and gashes your hands
Can't believe I used to stand
By your side at night
When you cried to my ear about your dad
One of many similarities we had
Both hated lying, but loved
Lions, it's hilarious, cause you was lying
You really thought you could
Hide it? come on
I went to prom with the guy
He called me on my cell
Begun to tell everything that you told him
"couple weeks here
Couple weeks there?" bitch a couple
Weeks we was cuddling bare
I wish I wasn't still angry
I wish I didn't still care
I wish I didn't toss and turn some
Nights just cause I miss you there
I wish that it didn't have to be this way
And these weren't words I need to say
I wish each letter didn't eat away
I wish for a better way for me to say
That it still hurts you looked
Me right in my eyes
And promised that theres no one else
Yet there you go with Someone Else
When I want you in my world?
How can I want you for myself
When Im already someone else's girl?
Look at you
With your cool blue eyes and ladylike stride
May try you up but don't try your luck
I don't get tied up in no wires
Refuse to be burned by
Desire, like rubber smoke, off tires
If you down for the ride, lets go
