Can you tell me how fast you can fall out of love at the dinner table? Between the peas and carrots on your plate land in mashed potatoes.
Talking my love. Talking your love. Talking through all the things we always said we’d do or say.If you want love, you gotta make love. You can’t expect this love to up and slap you in the face.
Can you tell me why this is? Can you tell me why it always feels the same? After all our promises,
can you tell me why it always feels this way?
Can you tell me how fast you can take a hint at the dinner table? Just another night we have both spent watching digital cable.
I don’t want you. I don’t need you. I would throw you back if ever I was given the chance. I don’t like you. I don’t love you. I’m giving up on any thoughts of this insane romance.
Can you tell me why this is? Can you tell me why it always feels the same? After all our promises,
can you tell me why it always feels this way?

And our house is still exactly where it stands
Albert raises chickens in his garden
Well, I see diamonds in your eyes
Blue-green diamonds in your eyes.
But I cannot see your point or pretend to understand
What you need from me you silly woman
What you need from me you silly woman
And ten-thousand lakes are spread across your land
I can’t seem to find the one between your legs
I see diamonds in your skin
Blue-green diamonds in your skin
But I cannot see your point or pretend to understand
What you need from me you silly woman
What you need from me you silly woman
All of my friends. Try and remind me. That's just the way love is.

The other day I saw you and you were looking good to me. I always knew you were the one for me. And when I saw you I just couldn't ignore. I wanted to reach out. I wanted to touch your cornrows.
It's your cornrows. Your cornrows. Your cornrows.
It's your cornrows. Your cornrows. Your cornrows.
Well, I really like your style. I saw you last evening and I knew right then we would sit and talk for a while. I looked at your feet and I looked at your hair. Something about it just made me stare. I saw, "Ooh, wee! Baby! I like your cornrows."
It's your cornrows. Your cornrows. Your cornrows.
It's your cornrows. Your cornrows. Your cornrows.
Don't need no sloppy joes. Don't need no sloppy joes.
Don't need no sloppy joes. [ ... ] cornrows!
Don't need no sloppy joes. Don't need no sloppy joes.
Don't need no sloppy joes. [ ... ] cornrows!
