Lyrics

U

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Lonely, Lonely, Oh Woe Is Me

Oh Owe is me I say

The complex cycle i go through almost everyday

To my dismay, I imagine being in this set

Me holdin' the 21st letter in the alphabet

All my life I've been searchin' as if it's my obligation

To find who?

You but my patience grows thin

Cuz U is just a letter surrounded by a better image

Of a sister who's new but overdue for marriage

Marriage takes disipline,

A problem that exist within'

The American culture I resist against

But I must recall and I trust that all

I've learned thru life is givin' way to a wife yaw'll

cuz I want, not need a companion to feed

the knowledge I read and the lovin' I've received

Through moms and my palms read a long life

So hey I pray for the day I have a strong wife

And a strong son or daughter or strong both

Give them a foundation of values

I think I'll make a great coach for them

And warn 'em of sin and maybe by then they can nip it in the bud

Before it begins

So hey, if you're listening and yo wishin

For a U like me that you have in store

Maybe I could be the U for U

And U could be the U for me too

I know you're there I just haven't found U yet

Gonna getcha five cent I'll bet

If I lose it's five cents, if I win it's fice decades or more

Of a life with a new wife an 2 or 3 kids

My parents want grandkids wit big heads like mine

Runnin' and jumpin' on the bed with my brownish eyes

THere's sort of a pressure to be married and chilled

With terry gone emotional gaps need to be filled

So I'm sort of searchin' but only in my spare time

Most of the time I'm busy workin' on a beat or rhyme

I don't want a sex partner, a female friend or buddy

To be played with like silly puddy

I want to be played with like clay on a spindle

Wet it, mold it, bend it, hard it, never dwindle

That's called longevity, different than what U read and see On T.V.

So hey if yo listenin' and your wishin' for a U like me

That U have in store

maybe I could be the U for U

And U could be the U for me too

Maybe I could be the U for U

Maybe U could be the U for me too
