Lyrics:
He'll laugh and say that he can't sleep
And he don't know the reason why
Maybe it's the evil eye
Oh, that awful evil eye
Remember how he used
And you find some time to look around
If you should see me and I walk on by
Oh darling please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street
There were times you should have stalled
As you sailed into the fog
Like a dog, I smelled your fear
God knows you should have been here with me
this I see?"
Great big horse said "I don't know, slow down you, follow me."
Great big horse said "over there's a hill I used to climb."
He took
feeling that any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Fuck you and everything that you do
I know you'll get what's coming to you
Thought you could sneak right by and pass through
No longer a place that
But don't let a nigga get got out the ghetto
'Cause you know gettin' caught out the ghetto
Is a motherfuckin' no-no
'Cause you'll meet Mr. Boot, Mr.
Ah, oo, ee, ay
Two strangers meet on a crowded street
Eye to eye and their hearts skip a beat
Within their minds they don?t know what to say
So
But I know that sooner or later
You'll have to wring your lovely hands in dismay
You'll go back to the board room
Add the numbers up and turn
Are you frightened by the fire in my eyes
It burns for you
And I know you see it too
Your heart was open looking for light
Are you surprised
why
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why
He was shy I asked him why
He said he never had a chance to dance
Then I took him by his hand
And game me my
You are the heart that beats inside of me
You are the words I long to find
You are the peace that gives me easy sleep
You are the reason I don't mind
love it should let it
Let be
Be free
Free me
You'll see
I got a bone to pick wit a skeleton me a skeleton key
A letter to queens and by queens i mean
CHORUS
IF I CAN'T IF I CAN'T
HAVE YOU
BABY I DON'T WANNA BE
WITH NO-ONE ELSE
IF I CAN'T IF I CAN'T
HAVE YOU
BABY I WOULD RATHER BE
BY MYSELF
VERSE
Feeling like I’ve been sinking
Rest my eyes, bed of the lake
Feeling like I’m pretending
Feeling like I don’t deserve this treasure
I’m scared I
a
Lot of the people that I've met
Not because I don't like them but
Because I only let them down
And when you disappoint everyone
All the time, it's hard
churlish journey starts, I'm hanging by a thread
(It's unusual) if I don't make the cuts I'll be myself instead
(It's unusual) I'll get out of the rut if
to be.?
But I heard, son don?t let us down
'cause this life ain't for foolin around
Start takin it seriously.
When I see all that I have
I know its all
Tonight I don't really feel that well
Cause I'm standing on the corner close to hell
I'm drowning in the sands of broken time
I've drank more than
Cause now the clock is ticking too fast
Everybody knows that I won't last
The bellring breaks my head ' I hear his voice calling
Give me your best shot
one night I laid down and turned the lights out
next thing I know I'm awake in the white house
only a few feet away from the president
who's giving
shame,
Hey, you won't find me.
I'll, I'll hide 'till the end of all days.
I still don't know what happened there,
my mind is blocked, I was too
as these incidents comes by
Don't know if I still want to learn the lesson for the pain makes me want to die
I'm a man always very cautious before I
right where I was found
Waiting, waiting
Thank God, I didn't know at 22
How goddamn long a dream takes to come true
Passing by all the marquees I
