Mary J. Blige - Whole Damn Year lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Tryna find a way to explain this

Why you can't touch me tonight

I can feel you're gettin' impatient

But I really can't let y inside

That how deep the pain is

Oh, you just couldn't believe

And yes, I'm good on the surface

But I'm a mess, I'm a mess underneath

(Pre-Chorus)

See winter took most of my heart

And Spring punched right in the stomach

Summer came lookin' for blood

And by autumn I was left with nothin'

(Chorus)

It took a whole damn year to repair my body

Took a whole damn year...

It took a whole damn year to repair my body

It's been about five years...

Gon' take a long long year for me to trust somebody

Gon' take long long year...

Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody

It's been a bad 5 years...

(Verse 2)

Not tryna do this on purpose

Boy I really wish I could

Don't act like you've neva heard this

I know you haven't misunderstood

But be honest, just couldn't respect it

Don't tell me you was well

I thought we were headin' fo' Heaven

But you're bout to take me back to Hell!

(Pre-Chorus)

See winter took most of my heart

And Spring punched right in the stomach

Summer came lookin' for blood

And by autumn I was left with nothin'

(Chorus)

It took a whole damn year to repair my body

Took a whole damn year...

It took a whole damn year to repair my body

It's been about five years...

Gon' take a long long year for me to trust somebody

Gon' take long long year...

Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody

It's been a bad 5 years...

(Bridge)

It took a whole damn year to repair my body

It took a whole damn year

It took a whole damn year to repair my body

Been a bad 5 years

Gon' take a long long year for me to trust somebody

Gon' take long long year

Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody

It's been a bad 5 years

(Interlude)

Bad to the liver, bad to the bone

Bad to the liver, bad to the bone

Bad to the liver, bad to the bone

Been a bad 5 years
