I'm Worried, Baby

I'm worried my baby won't love me because I'm poor
My worthless old man took everything
Got my mattress on the floor
I work hard every day and night to impress my newest boy
I get my cards cut on our dates
I just can't fool him with my ploy
I'm worried my baby won't love because I'm a bore
He's learned in every discipline
When he talks I love listening but I feel ignored
If my lack of intellect has a negative effect on my chances of selection
I'll read every classic novel
Every epic poem you keep in your literary collection
I'm worried my baby won't love me
because I keep talking about my feelings
You know I want it all
but I don't know, I don't know if he's willing
Can I be, will I ever be good enough for you baby?
Oh no, I'll never be good enough for you

Only Girl

Babe I know we just began
still I feel like I should be your only girl
And if you're real with yourself you know you wanna hold onto this
You can barely hold yourself back when we kiss
I stopped waiting long ago
you live your life and when you know, you know
that it's time to try
Can't you see that I'm trying?
Oh but it's terrifying
I know how it goes, it's so good as grows
and then something goes amiss
Every time I'm in bliss and we're so fine
But then he leaves or wastes my precious time
or hurts me so bad
Am I the only girl you got feeling special?
Am I the only lover you're kissing soft and sweet?
Am I the only woman warming up your bed at dawn?
And when I'm gone tell me you don't put your loving on repeat
It's not personal
It's not us, disregard my distrust
It's just experience
I can't pinpoint why coming down from the high
leaves me paranoid
But when I'm with you I'm delirious
I can't seem to release my heart to the parts of you
that remain mysterious
But I know chances are if we take it too far
We'll get all messed up
But I"m already so stuck on you and curious
Am I the only girl you got feeling special?
Am I the only lover you're kissing soft and sweet?
Am I the only woman warming up your bed at dawn?
And when I'm gone tell me you don't put your loving on repeat

I could and I would if I had to
but I don't want to do life without you
I've never loved to fight with someone so much
yet somehow we're still existing in peace
Is all love this weird?
You're my tension and release
I've been tied up in enough knots
I don't ever wanna settle down
but since my roots are bare
I'd only plant them in your ground
And if your soul feels a yearning to wander
baby do what you need to do
I ain't got no reason to leave home
but if you leave I'm coming too
I could and I would if I had to
but I don't want to do life without you
Don't even know if I want babies
You got me wanting to have your babies
I'll build you white picket fences
I'll build you place in my dreams
Good loving has rendered me senseless
I'll work wonders with my meager means
I could sit for years penning myriad endearing analogies
You know I'm too restless to adhere to one theme
Maybe I crave mass appeal but before this gets too precious
I don't need to be trite
You always know just what I mean
I could and I would if I had to
But I don't want to do life without you

Not My Man

You're no demigod, you are a demagogue
You're dead as God to me
Don't touch me there I'm not your doll
I'm not shaking, hiding behind your
Invisible wall
Remove your dirty little paws if you wanna keep them
Either you or I will withdraw
Confess your demons before I leak them
You're not my man, you're not a good man
You're not any man to me no no
You're not my man, you're a bad bad man
I'm gonna make everyone see what I see
Confess your demons before I leak them
This kinda sludge spewing blatant hating is unprecedented
Keep flapping your jaws so we can get you unpresidented
Been picking on our beaten, raped and brown-skinned sisters and we listened as they lamented
Will you be smirking on your gilded throne
When you're overthrown
By the losers you resented
You're not my man, you're not a good man
You're not any man to me no no
You're not my man, you're a bad bad man
I'm gonna make everyone see what I see
Confess your demons before I leak them
You're not my ruler, you're not my king
You're not the president of me
You're not my president, white house
Illegal resident, You're not my president
