Meshell Ndegéocello - Two Lonely Hearts (On the Subway) lyrics

Excuse me, you headin'my way?
Tryin'to find something to brighten up my day
Maybe I could talk to you or
You could talk to me
Your eyes seem to call out for some comfort
Is it the everyday racism
Or a pain from deep within
I may not understand now but then again
You could talk to me or we
Could just sit here and daydream

Say, you headin'my way
Two lonely hearts on the subway
Singin'the blues on the subway train

Black black yes it's hard and that's a fact
But, I can rise above when I have love
Here comes the train
Please don't turn and walk away – stay
We could read some Ntozake Shange
And I loose myself in the book
I escape to my heavenly tomb
Or we could read The Voice it's your choice
I just want to get to know you

Say, you headin'my way
Say, you headin'my way

Your lovely black face
Accompanied by some strictly roots
As we venture – it's just nice to be near you
