Musicology lyrics

She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn't dance
So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance
Who's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance
This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

She was older but rich beyond compare
She'd drop a thousand dollars at the saloon just 2 get her hair did
He was good at compliments, better in the bunk

[Chorus:]
If Eye was the man in your life
Eye'd make U happy
Eye'd treat U right
Eye'd buy U flowers every single day
Eye'd Give U power
Eye'd do whatever U say

Eye heard a rumor that Ur man he said he'd do U wrong
and Ur so vain Ud think that Ur the 1 behind this song
Sure U know he got plenty lyrics, yeah, up his sleeve

I see U picked me out from the crowd
Could it be the way I play guitar
Master of the soft, not 2 loud
One day, maybe I will be a star
I see U picked me out like U want something
But shame on U, baby, can't U see this ring

[CHORUS:]
What do U want me 2 do, girl
What do U want me 2 do, babe
What do U want me 2 do, girl
What do U want me 2 do, babe

Call, call my name
Call it, call my name

Eye heard Ur voice this morning calling gout my name
It had been so long since Eye heard it that it didn't sound quite the same, no
But it let me know that my name had never really been spoken b4
B4 the day Eye carried U through the bridal path door

And ever since that day Eye haven't wanted anyone but U

It's only been a hour since U left me
But it feels like a million days
If Eye had a magic wand eye could turn back time
Eye'd never let U go away

Eye didn't have the heart 2 say eye'm sorry
Now eye haven't got a heart at all
Eye could tolerate the pain if eye could talk 2 my best friend
But U won't even call

Eye'm contemplating pulling out my suitcase

Heard about the party now
Just east o' Harlem
Dougie's gonna b there
But u got 2 call him

Even the soldiers
Need a break sometimes
Listen 2 the groove ya'll
Let it unwind ur mind

No intoxication
Unless u c what eye c
Dancin hot n' sweaty
Right in font of me

Call it what u like
I'm gonna call it how it b
This is just another one
Of God's gifts
Musicology

If U leave her now
Ur never gonna 2 c her again - Never
Now she's gonna need a shoulder 2 cry on
She's gonna need a friend
She's gonna need a pillow case - something 2 put those tears on
And Eye've got some purple satin lacys
1 second later than the second U gone

She' gonna miss U at first
But then she's gonna buy me things
That's when Eye'm gonna lay her

As war drums beat in Babylon
Cinnamon girl starts 2 pray
Eye've never heard a prayer like this 1
Never b4 that day

Tearful words of love 4 people she had never met b4
Asking God 2 grant them mercy in this face of a holy war

Cinnamon Girl

Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage
Never knew the meaning of color lines
911 turned that all around
When she got accused of this crime

This is the life o' the party
We gonna do it right

So Ur havin' a party
Goody 4 U
All the beautiful people gonna b there
Yeah, that's cool
U know Ur gonna have a good time cause U got the news
That the life o' the party is gonna party with U

We're doing our own thing
Until the sun'll come up
Sweet Candy gonna b there
Yeah, it's gonna b rough

2 sevens together
Like time, indefinite
Trying 2 catch the glass
b4 it falls
Without a frown
Can U turn up the stereo
Eye wanna play U this old song about love (is it about love)
Can Eye do that

Did we remember 2 water the plants today
Eye 4got 2 look up at the moon because
Eye was 2 busy, said Eye was 2 busy
Eye was 2 busy
Looking at you babe

It's only been a hour since U left me
But it feels like a million days
If Eye had a magic wand eye could turn back time
Eye'd never let U go away

Eye didn't have the heart 2 say eye'm sorry
Now eye haven't got a heart at all
Eye could tolerate the pain if eye could talk 2 my best friend
But U won't even call

Eye'm contemplating pulling out my suitcase

What's wrong with the world 2day
Things just got 2 get better
Show me what the leaders say
Maybe we should write a letter

Said Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Why poor people keep struggling but U don't lend a helping hand
Matthew 5:5 say "The meek shall inherit the earth"
We wanna b down that way
but U been trippin since the day of your birth

Who said that 2 kill is a sin

Call, call my name
Call it, call my name

Eye heard Ur voice this morning calling gout my name
It had been so long since Eye heard it that it didn't sound quite the same, no
But it let me know that my name had never really been spoken b4

Come on baby.. ooh, ooh, ooh
Don't make me sleep on the couch
No.. No.. No..
Love jones is on the TV again, baby
Ooh, I wanna go down south - yeah

Come on baby
Come on baby
Its so undignified to sleep alone
O yes it is
That's what all the people ain't got nobody do
U know they do
Talkin' (talkin') on the telephone

Don't make me crash
Don't U do it baby
