Weep, Why When I Saw It Coming
Weep, Why? I Saw It Coming!
He put me in the mood
Reminding me I am a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
But is that really me?
No need to explain why I can't see
Distracted on all sides
He liked the span of my thighs
The curl in my hair
Not so much the clothes I wear
It was the look in my eyes
The energy shared between he and I
Forgetting that Woodoo
That they do to attack you
Yet never affecting you
Because you said I do
So I pause
Not giving cause
Committed
Able to resist it
Knowing something is wrong but I'm too strong
Not sure what it is
I want him, strange and new
My GI Joe, my reason not to be blue
I knew I was the assignment
The joke is on who
The joke is on me
Because I wanted it to be
Wanting his love
Reservation free
A little white lie won't hurt nobody
This was my clue
But why tell me truth
Or should I say half of it
Like sharing a goal
Never to get old
What can I say, it wasn't meant to be
My soul wants to weep but my spirit says why?
I saw it coming, you should have listened to me!
