Someone Else

Erykah Badu:

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?

(2x)

Verse One:

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/

Dont 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:

(Hook) 2x

Verse Two:

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, its 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./
