Esperanza Spalding - She Got To You lyrics

rate me

f I had a penny

For every time I caught you

Undressing me with your eyes

I'd be a rich one and then

I could prove all my senses

Were real all along

You wanted me too

Though now you laugh

And call me a fool

I know you wanted me too

Before she got to you

If I could remember

All the things you used to say

When we were left alone

I'd have a book of sonnets

So inspired

All the muses would cringe

At your denial

At how you wanted me too

Though now you laugh

And call me a fool

I know you wanted me too

Before she got to you

Before she got to you

I would say

That we were something special

To behold

But now it's over, all over

Before she came barging through

We were prime

To make the kind of love

As scarce as four leaf clover

Now, I'm a bit confused

Cos what I felt

I thought was true

Did she barge in

And steal your heart away?

Or did you know

From the first day

I was just someone to play?

If so, damn that's cold

Before she got to you

I would say

That we were something special

To behold

But now it's over, all over

Before she came barging through

We were prime

To make the kind of love

As scarce as four leaf clover

If I could understand

What you have found in her

More than you

Could have had with me

I'd finally understand a mind

As twisted as yours

Must be for you to go

Just when you wanted me too

Though now you laugh

And call me a fool

I know you wanted me too

What kind of spell

Has she put on you?

I know you wanted me too

Before she got to you
