Erykah Badu My People Lyrics

My People Lyrics

My eyes are green 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green 'cause I eat 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 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green 'cause I eat 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 lacks behind

But I don't love you anymore

I'm so insecure

Never knew that love did this

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 do

Loving you is wrong baby, ooh, ooh



La-di-da

Dum-dee-da-da

Dum-didi-da-da-da

Dum-didi-da-dum-di



I'm so confused, you tried to trick me, yeah

Ooh, ooh, oh

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

Change my name to Silly E. Badu

Before I heal, it's gonna be a while

I know it's gonna be a while, chil'



I hope it's not too late

Too late, too late, too late

Feeling insecure

Your love has got me sore

I don't want no more

Oh, oh



It's too late, oh, oh, ooh, ooh

I'm sorry I love you

At first when you was cool

You told me you loved me too, ooh

And then you lost your love

And then you lost your love

And then you lost your love



You wanted me to go away but I can't go

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

Believe me yeah, yeah, no, oh



You see I can't leave, it's too late

I can't leave, it's too late

Don't you know, 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



Yeah, come on, babe

Don't you want be strong with me?

You told me we could have a family

Want to run to me when you're down and low



But times get tough and there you go

Out the door, you wanna run again

Open your arms and you'll come back in

Wanna run 'cause you say you're afraid, afraid



Never knew what a friendship

Never knew how to really love

You can't be what I need you to

And I don't know what is up with you

I know our love will never be the same

But I can't stand the growing pains
