"Sittin' here eatin' my heart out, waitin"
"Waitin for some lover to call"
Tick, tick, boom hear me banging down these back streets
Bumpkin Blackstreet, treated like an athlete
(You can do it by Ice Cube)
If I should stay
I would only be in your way.
Do you get high?
Does your Daddy cry?
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry, I apologize a trillion times
"Well you can tell by the way I use my walk"
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Back in elementary, I thrived on misery
Left me alone, I grew up amongst a dyin breed
Just in case, I don't make it home tonight
Let me make love to you for the last time, baby
She wore a Raspberry Beret
The kind you fine in a second hand store
I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
"At first I was afraid, I was petrified"
Thinking I could live without you by my side
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train)
I aint got no money
I aint like those other guys you hang around
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
See them out on the street at night (walkin)
Picking up all kinds of strangers (if the price is right)
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on, Just keep on pressin on
Sky is the limit and you know that you can have what you want, be what you want
These are my confessions, just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way
I only wanted, one time, to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' to give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
Did we give up too soon?
Maybe we needed just a little room
(Forget me nots by Patrice Rushen)
Now let me welcome everybody to the Wild, Wild, West
A State that's untouchable like Eliot Ness
I looked at you, You stole my heart
You were all that I anticipated
I'm not a woman, I'm not a man
I am something that you'll never understand
When you left, I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
