Erykah Badu - Everything Lyrics

Like evil passing in the dead of night
You never know how lonely love can be
Through everything the miracle you were waiting for
Could have been standing there beside you all the time
The loneliness I never thought I'd know
Grew deeper as each moment disappeared
This time I think I'm really, really over you
But it all comes back to me again
And it killed me when I saw you make her smile, oh child
You know it hurt for a while, oh child.

Oh you mean the world to me.
Why'd you always have to make me sad yeah?
You'd never know how many nights I've cried
But that's behind us and I can't look back.
You're everything, you're everything, yes
I'm so much stronger now, more than you'll ever know.
You're everything, you're everything, yes
Don't want your lies; don't want your sympathy, all I want is you
It's you, everything...

The clock had stopped; we had no way to know
How do we count forever in a day?
In time, in deep, a place that's far away
Is where I wanna go and be with you.
I wanna say "come on, let's go, yeah me with you"
No matter where you go, I want you to know

You mean the world to me
Why'd u always have to make me sad yeah?
How many nights I've cried...
But that's behind us and I can't look back.
You're everything, you're everything, yes
I'm so much stronger now more than you'll ever know
My love for you helps me go on
It gives me strength even when I walk alone
Oh...Oh... [Repeat]

Everything...said that you everything... [x6]
Oh...
You don't even know what you did babe...
Feel so much better babe...
90 pounds lighter babe...
Tears bring joy... Tears bring joy...
You didn't know what you had when you had what you had babe....
No hard feelings yeah...
