LOL, thank you Taj. I will defer to your judgment. When I copied it over from one of those lyrics sites the formatting was all wrong and I think in fixing it I screwed some stuff up. And while I would update it with the actual lyrics that you have provided, I'm lazy and don't feel like formatting it again. :)
I saw her perform it this weekend at the Jazzfest west and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. I saw Rashaan Patterson, Lala Hathaway and Stevie Wonder perform "Love is stronger then pride" last week, and the other two are just other faves of mine...
lol. Taj is funny for posting the whole thing.
you've been tagged. visit my post.
This is my favorite E.Badu song!!! I listen to it allll the time. I saw her perform it at the Sugar Water Fest in ATL. She only did like 3 lines. I was pissed!
I just saw her perform this at a jazz festival, the heartbreaker was that my family wanted to leave early to "beat traffic" and while we were waiting outside stuck in traffic I could hear her doing her encore singing "green eyes" can you say...darn near cried!
