If I wrote A song for you would you listen babe, listen babe?
If I gave you the melody would you sing it babe, sing it babe?
If I wrote you a story would you tell it babe?
You don’t ever have to question my love, so I don’t wanna have to question your love
We don’t ever have to question our love
If I pick fresh fruit from a tree would you eat it babe, eat babe?
If I gave you water from a well would you drink it babe, drink it babe?
If I gave you a blessing would you praise it babe?
I’ll be a storyteller personally personal storyteller you’re number one confidant (2x)
Yeah, you know I love you

Sherwood Lament

I knew I had to have you when I first saw your face
But you were committed, wrong time wrong place
You had another lover and I couldn’t compete (oh no) but I,but I gotta explain what ya vibe did to me
You were something special, The way you moved the way you talked you were so deep, made me weak
My mind said not to chase you and I should be ashamed cause If I had a lover I wouldn’t want the same
When two are in love, you should let them be, cause if his heart ‘s with someone else, he wasn’t meant for me
You’re not mine and I can’t deny
Maybe a different space, another lifetime (2x)
What if that woman was me I wouldn’t want nobody messin with peace (2x)

Youth (Innerlude)

When I was just a little girl
At my feet was the entire world
Thought I would get everything I deserved
I had dreams as precious as pearls
Now I’m a woman, all grown up now
Sometimes unsure, sometimes profound
Through life and lyrics I have found my truth
Now I follow dreams from my youth

Youth

We use to bathe in clear water but that’s over now
We wanna go back to a time when we were young, we just don’t know how
We’ve been sitting for so long we forgot what it’s like to be care free
We use to sing to sweet songs so true
When We were young
But We’ve been sitting for so long, we’ve been sleeping for so long, we’ve been drowning for too long
We’ve been sitting for so long, we’ve been sitting for so long, we’ve been drowning for too long
In our youth
We conquered all the madness
We had the sweetest songs to sing we blocked out all the sadness
Lived how life supposed to be, that’s the way it’s supposed to be, give the way it’s supposed to be, the way it’s supposed to be
In our youth
to play our sweet sweet music again, again
And if we had another chance we promise we won’t ever take it for granted again
We've been sitting for so long

I’d like to tell you about Sister Hazel Eyes
Told all secrets, told no lies
but no more since that fatal day in July
Heart was so intense, like every word she meant
The girl that God lend, Now past tense
England’s best girl, long black hair
a million stages, to stop and stare
Using Desperate words, like she had lived a hundred years, through it all she shed no tears
I’d like to tell you about sister hazel eyes
Told all secrets, told no lies
but no more since that fatal day in July
Some may say she was right some may says she was wrong
They couldn’t leave her alone, or let her sing her song
Now she flies in paradise, now she flies in paradise, now she flies in paradise, Sister Hazel Eyes.

So you thought you had that girl and she was stupid she was eating out the palm of your hand
So you thought you had that girl but she was fakin she sleepin with one of ya mans
You was runnin’ round playing little games but I guess the jokes on you cause she was doin you the same
now you wanna come runnin back to me cause you see what you was missin’ cause she did you dirty
1st Verse (2nd part)
Now you lookin all sad in the face cause you ain’t got nobody to play a fool
Now you come crawlin back to me asking if I still wanna love you
Got a dose of your own medicine
When they burn you just tell when
Cause I’ll be front and center with my finger on the trigger, and I bet you’ll need me then
2nd Verse
Now you see what happens when you bring me the pain, ‘cause when they ask me now I don’t know your name
You don’t mean nothing when you’re coming around
Go paint ya face because you look like a clown
Paint it all over your face ‘cause you look like a clown, Paint it all over your face ‘cause you look like a (4x)
Hope she was worth it

The Other Girl

She must have a way, there’s just somethin’ ‘bout her
The boys the boys always pass her way
Give her attention even if it’s minor
With me they don’t even look my way
She must have this thing because he really likes her he watches her as she makes her way
I wish I had that thing then I could be just like her and he would watch me the same way
There’s something about the other girl the way she moves through his mind
And if I looked like the other girl maybe I’d be his type
There’s something about the other girl the way she moves through his mind
And if I looked like the other girl maybe I’d be his type
She must have this thing (she must have this thing)
Because he really likes her (He really likes her)
He watches her as she makes her way (Watches as she makes her way)
I wish I had that thing then I could be just like her (I could be just like her)
and he would watch me the same way (Watch me the same way)
And he would love me. And he would love...

I know you don’t like obligation
I know you don’t like standing up for a cause
I know you don’t like lending a hand to your kin
I know you don’t like when someone else is the boss
Chorus
But there’s a raging in us all and don’t cha feel and know that it’s bringing us down
it’s obliterating and its not gonna stop 'til we’re all down
So do you think you can give a little of yourself?
I know it seems hard but try to help out somebody else
I know you don’t like to be the bigger man
I know you wanna sit and smoke til you burn your brains out
I know you can be a better woman
But to stand up to fight leaves room for doubt
But there’s a raging in us all and don’t cha feel and know that it’s bringing us down
it’s obliterating and its not gonna stop 'til we’re all down
So do you think you can give a little of yourself?
I know it seems hard but try to help out somebody else
Try to commit to something for once
Hold your mother, respect your father
Don’t hate your brother, love one another
Pray for your neighbor, do em favor
Ya might need em later
Pray for your neighbor, do ‘em favor
Ya might need 'em later
Don’t be a hater and give a little of yourself
