Lyrics

The Beggar

[Mos Def]

Woman you know I love you

Woman you know just how I feel

You try to tell me that you don't know

When I know you know the deal

Woman you know I love you

Woman you know I care...

Hey

You try to say

I'm running game

You try to say baby you don't play fair

Oh darling

If there is any doubt in your mind

I want you to be sure...

Heeeey

If you don't ever see me again

I want you to be sure

That I love you

Oh girl

Oh baby I love you

Darling I love you...

Hey

Oh darling I love you...

Hey

(Turn the lights down low)

(Turn the lights down low)

Oh baby

You got to understand how I feel

You need to understand where I'm coming from

Ain't no need to be afraid

Ain't no need to get up and run

Oh darling

Oh girl you know I love you

Oh darling

You know I know I love you

Oh baby

If you never see me again

I need you to be sure

From this moment right now

Till for ever more

Said I love you

Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love

You, love you, love you, love you...

Babyyyy

Woman I love you

Woman I love you

Woman I love you

AAAAAAHHHHHH...

Woman I love you
