The Roots, Jill Scott - Complexity lyrics
[The Roots, Jill Scott - Complexity lyrics]
I've been wondering about the complexity
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
I've been wondering about the complexity
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
You're physically in this
But how could we tell
If we was meant to be in bliss
If you're not mentally as well?
This energy you're sending me
Is tricky as hell usually it's like a 50
50, we could take a L
Before we start things
At this point being apart brings
The feeling of somebody plucking
At your heart strings
I know it probably shouldn't feel like this
But any other woman I see is in your likeness
It's from your cheekbones
To your lips, to your curves
To your deep moans
To that walk, to your words
You love feeling like a
Breakdown on the verge
First we on good terms
Then you on my last nerves
Got my back just aching
My shoes is all tight
It's too complex when we choose
To do it right
It's wrong, one minute you a soldier strong
Then you trying a route talking
About it's over and gone
I've been wondering about the complexity
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
I've been wondering about the complexity
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
When your boyfriend's in town, it's
Bound to be trouble, love
His name Black, and he known to be a lover of
Getting it on with my smoker's jacket on
Eyes racing back and forth
Listening to Chaka Khan
Trying to figure the cause why
You always acting off like I'm slacking off
Maybe our signal's getting crossed
For the case Love
You feel like you making a waste of
Your precious time you need to get a taste of
Some space to breathe, a moment as friends
We should've felt ourselves slipping
Into it again
Cuz it's like off and on, on and off
Passion, lost and found, found and lost
Clashing, asking for nothing
But understanding your hearts made of glass
Use care when handling
Girl, all in all I never leave you stranded
Cuz my respect you commanded
You figure it out
I've been wondering about the complexity
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
I've been wondering about the complexity
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
I used to come into the
Party and stand around
Cuz I was kinda too shy to really get down
I used to play the corner and watch the scene
Deep down knowing I wanted to find me a queen
And I could feel that in my
Stomach and up in my chest
Because I knew a lot of women
And some was fresh
But then I found you girl, and just like me
You had a heart that was
Yearning to be set free now listen
See you and me we need to take the time
To erase any doubt that's inside your mind
It's not a mountain that I'm
Ever too tired to climb and who's counting
But I know at least a thousand times
I let you know I'm here
For you, care for you, and confide in you
Break bread, share with you
And provide for you
And that's full time, it's no 9 to 5 with you
That's why I'm trying to work
It out with you, it's gonna work
I've been wondering about the complexity
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
I've been wondering about the complexity
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
I've been wondering about the complexity
Of what we have here
Shouldn't there be more? Just can't see more
You're physically in this
But how could we tell
