Lyrics

Movement I (denial)

My eyes are green
Cuz I eats a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do
With your new friend

My eyes are green
Cuz I eats a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do
With your new friend

I don't care, I swear
I'm too through with you
I am
You don't mean nothing
To me
So go ahead and be with your
Friend

My eyes are green
Cuz I eats a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do
With your new friend

I'm insecure
But I can't help it
My mind says move on
My heart lags behind
But I don't love you anymore
I'm so insecure
Never knew that love did this
Ooh ooh ooh

I can't remember the last
Time I felt this way
About somebody
You've done something to my mind
And I can't control it
But I don't love you any more
Yes I do I think
Loving you is wrong
Do doop

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oooh

La di dah
Dum di dah dah
Dum di di dah di dah
Dum di di dah di dum di

Movement ii (acceptance)

I'm so confused
You tried to trick me yeah....

Oooh wooo wooo ooh ha ooh ooh do woo

Never knew that love could hurt like this
Never thought I would but I got dissed
Makes me feel so sad and hurt inside
Feel embarrassed so I want to hide
Silly me I thought your love was true
Changed my name to silly e-badu
Before I heal it's gonna be awhile
I know it's gonna be awhile child

Dah di dah di di di dah di
Dah di di dah di di di di

I hope it's not too late
Too late too late too late too

Feeling insecure, love has got me sore, I don't want no more
Do doop

Movement iii (relapse)
Oh ooh

It's too late uh oh uh ooooh ooooh ah

I'm sorry
I love you
At first it was cool
You told me you loved me too
Oooooh
And then you lost your love
Oh then you lost your love
And then you lost your love
Wanted me to go away but I can't
And no
See
I can't leave, it's too late
I can't leave, it's too late
I can't leave, it's too late
I can't leave, it's too late

Just make love to me
Just one more time
And then you'll see
I can't believe I made a desperate plea..
What's with me, meee mee yeah

Yeah oh oooh
See
I can't leave, it's too late
I can't leave, it's too late
Told you i
I can't leave, it's too late
Can't go no where, no, it's too late
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
Late
Late
C'mon home
Don't you wanna be strong with me
You told me we had a family
Wanna run to mama when you're down and low
When times get tough
And there you go
Ooh out the door you wanna run again
Open my arms and you come back in
Wanna run cuz you say that you were afraid
But I'm your friend ooh
Never knew what a friendship was
Never knew how to really love
You can't be what I need you to
And I don't know why I fuck with you

I know our love will never be the same
But I can't stand these growing pains
