My eyes are green
Cause I eat a lot 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 sware
I'm to threw 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 eats a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
I'm insecure
But I can't help it
Mind say's move on
My heart lags behind it
But I don't love you anymore
I'm so insecure
Never knew that love did this
Ohh ohh ohhh, ohh ohh ohhh
I can't remenber
The last time I felt this way
About somebody
You've done something to my mind
And I can't control
But I don't love you anymore
Yes I do, I think
Loving you is wrong
Du ohh
Ohhh ohhh ohhh, ohhh ohhh ohhh
I'm so confused
You tried to trick me, yeah
Ohhhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh
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 wanna hide
Silly me I thought your love was true
Change my name to silly e badu
Before I heal, it's gonna be awhile
I know it's gonna be awhile chile
Badi dadi di di,dadi di di dum dum di di di, love is not too latetoo late
Feeling insecure
Love has got me sore
I don't want no more
Du ohh
It's too late
I'm sorry
I love you
It hurts me whats cruel
You told me, you love me too
And then you lost your love
And then your love
Oh then you lost your love
Wanted me to go away, but I can't do both 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
Can't go nowhere
It's too late
What the hell is wrong with me
You told me we had a family
Wanna run a muck when your down and low
Then times get hard and then you go
Ohh out the door you wanna run again
Open my arms and you come back in
Wanna run cause you said that you were afraid
Never knew what a friendship was
Never knew how to really love
You cant be what I need you too
And I don't know why fucked with you
I know our love will never be the same
But I can't stand these growing pains
