The Very Best Of Macy Gray lyrics

My baby works down at the boulevard cafe'
Just a fine young man with big dreams
Trying to make his own way
The owner is this mean ole bitch who degrades him everyday
Then she fires him for no reason
Don't wanna give him his last pay
I've committed murder and I think I've got away
I'm hiding at my mother's house come get me right away
right away

Heart of mine, milk and honey
it ain't the money now we know

Doin' lines, ain't it funny
that it ain't the money now we know

After the money they lust
sell their souls for the unlimited cash flow.
In God we trust but that's never in class though,
enron, worldcom, ceo assholes
a monopoly to collect whenever they pass go.
Big screen tv's nigga please,

I want too much to be with you
But I'm working night and day
I came all this way to see you
And you tell me you need space
Everyone I know is compatible with somebody I know
I can never get it right
And I don't know where to go
Stay away from me don't you ever leave me alone, no

Love is gonna get you baby
Someday, one day, it will be
A good love that gets me
Love is gonna get ya baby

In my last years with him there were bruises
on my face
in my dawn and new day
I finally got away
But my head's all messed up and he knows
just what to say
No more dawn and new days
I'm going back to stay
So why say bye bye
When it only makes me cry
I still
Light up like a candle burnin when he calls me up
I still
Melt down like a candle burning everytime we touch
Oh say what you will

Its been three days since I screamed and hung up on you
And all I wanted was to hold you tight
Im sorry baby never meant to be mean to you
And I hope you call me back tonight

Youre hesitating cause you dont want another fight
I promise baby itll be all right

Truth is all Im doing is missing you
Thinking about when Im gonna see you

Hey baby when I see you
Im gonna love you all over the place
