My People

Too late, too late, too late

Silly me I thought your love was true
See I can't leave, it's too late
Just make love to me
Never knew how to really love
I know our love will never be the same
I hope it's not too late
Never thought I would but I got dissed
Dum-didi-da-da-da
I can't leave, it's too late
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
I'm so confused, you tried to trick me, yeah

I'm sorry I love you
You wanted me to go away but I can't go
Oh, oh

Believe me yeah, yeah, no, oh
Open your arms and you'll come back in
Just one more time and then you'll see
So go ahead and be with your friend
Don't you know, I can't leave, it's too late
But times get tough and there you go
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
My eyes are green 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables
It's too late, oh, oh, ooh, ooh
I can't leave, it's too late
I can't leave, it's too late
Your love has got me sore
Never knew that love did this
Dum-didi-da-dum-di

Change my name to Silly E. Badu

You see I can't leave, it's too late
Feel embarrassed so I want to hide

I can't remember the last time I felt this way about somebody
Out the door, you wanna run again
My mind says move on, my heart lacks behind

Ooh, ooh, oh
Feeling insecure
I know it's gonna be a while, chil'
You told me you loved me too, ooh
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
My eyes are green 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables
Never knew what a friendship
La-di-da
And then you lost your love
I don't want no more
Before I heal, it's gonna be a while
It's too late, it's too late
Ooh, ooh
I'm so insecure
You've done something to my mind and I can't control it
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
You don't mean nothing to me
But I don't love you any more, yes I do, I do
Can't go no where, no
It's too late, it's too late
At first when you was cool

But I don't love you anymore
Never knew that love could hurt like this
Loving you is wrong baby, ooh, ooh
I'm insecure but I can't help it
You told me we could have a family
Wanna run 'cause you say you're afraid, afraid
I can't leave, it's too late
And I don't know what is up with you
My eyes are green 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables
And then you lost your love

I don't care, I swear, I'm too through with you, I am
Don't you want be strong with me?

I can't believe I made a desperate plea
Want to run to me when you're down and low
And then you lost your love
My eyes are green 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables
Dum-dee-da-da
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables
Yeah, come on, babe
You can't be what I need you to
Makes me feel so sad and hurt inside
