Character

See me prospering with another nigga
Thought you couldn't be replaced
How the fuck you figure?
My new boo like them
Edges nappy, hair thick, soft skin, big lips
His brown girl
Love his brown

I got love for you darling
See i've got nothing else to give
And I ain't mad at you baby
Got to get it how you live
Said I wouldn't write about you no more
Said I wouldn't write about loss
Said I'd only sing about love from here on
And never about what it cost

But you gone make me come out of my character
Cause when you was down and out
Tell me who was there for ya
I was there for you, Said I was there for you
And you gone make me come with different energy
Cause this ain't even me
But tell me who was there for ya
I was there for you
I was there for you, I was there

Well I done found me a new thing
And my baby he loves me so
I put a spell on him last night
So that he'd never let me go
My baby he takes good care of me
And he keeps a smile on my face
He wants me both Now and Later
Cause he thinks that i'm sweet to taste

But you gone make me come out of my character
Cause when you was down and out
Tell me who was there for ya
And you gone make me come with different energy
Cause this ain't even me
But tell me who was there for ya

I been on both sides
He say I give him Badu vibes
Word to Sade is it a crime
To give love a shot just one more time
Said I been on both sides
He say I give him Badu vibes
Word to Sade is it a crime
To give love a shot just one more time

You gone make me come out of my character
Cause when you was down and out
Tell me who was there for ya
And you gone make me come with different energy
Cause this ain't even me
But tell me who was there for ya

See you gone make me come out of my character
I don't wanna go there with ya
'Cause I was the one who cared for ya
Said I was the one who cared for ya
And you see me moving on now
Writing nothing but love songs now
So you all up in my phone now
But you've got to get gone now

Think I spent too much time
Afraid of losing you
Instead of choosing you
Slowly moving through
Time and space on my own
With no space to call home
But you turned me around
I'm talking literally
Arched back
Face down
I know it sounds personal
But the truth is all I know and
The truth is, the truth is
I need you babe, I need you babe
