India Arie Lyrics

Talk To Her Lyrics
When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to
Talk to your mama
Don't get smart with her
Have a heart to heart
With her just like you
Would with your daughter
Cause everything you do or say
You got to live with it everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sister
She's somebody's mama

Now when you go to her
Speak truthfully
Honest as you can be from your heart
You're in a situation
But you're losing patience
Take your time and look her in her eyes
When you just can't find the words you want
And it's hard to reach a point
Where you both can understand
Don't just tell the truth
But tell the whole truth
It'll make a better man out of you

When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to
Talk to your mama (Don't get smart)
Don't get smart with her
Have a heart to heart
With her just like you
Would with your daughter (Cause everything you do)
Cause everything you do or say (And everything you say)
You got to live with it everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sister
She's somebody's mama

It doesn't matter if
She's wearing mini a skirt or a business suit
Whether she's twenty-five or ninety-nine
Treat her the way your mama taught you too
She could be the queen of Sheba
She could be a school teacher
A homemaker or a lawyer
I think it's good for your karma
If when you talk to her

When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to (Yeah)
Talk to your mama
Don't get smart with her
Have a heart to heart
With her just like you
Would with your daughter (With your daughter)
Cause everything you do or say
You got to live with it everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sister
She's somebody's mama

Now let's keep it real
Nothing in the world will ever exist without it's opposite
There has to be a sun and a moon
A man and a woman
And that's just the way it is
Humanity inside it
And everybody's fighting
How do we restore the peace
Mother Earth is hurting
And everybody's searching for that feminine energy
You gotta talk to her

When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to
Talk to your mama (Watch your mouth, yeah yeah)
Don't get smart with her
Have a heart to heart
With her just like you
Would with your daughter
Cause everything you do or say (Yeah, yeah)
You got to live with it everyday (Every single day)
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sister
She's somebody's mama

When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to
Talk to your mama

Just like you fight for your sister
If you knew that somebody dissed her
How you gonna care for your daughter
Turn around and talk bad bout her mama
Same way you listen to your auntie
Never interrupt while she speaks
Make your words sweet like candy
As if you were talking to your granny yeah
If you really love her then (say so)
And if you really need her then (say so)
You love the way she thinks (say so)
You love the way she speaks (say so)
When you need some good conversation (say so)
Say so (say so)
If you want her in your life (say so)
You want her to be your wife (say so)
Tell her she's your best friend (say so) (alright)
You'll be there to the end (alright)(say so)
If you're thinking about leaving (say so)
If you're wondering where she going (say so)
If you need to breathe with her (say so)
You just want to be with her (say so)
If you love her hair (say so)
If you want her there (say so)
Tell me if you really want her (say so)
You wanna slap her down (say so)
[Laughs] Say so...
If you like her loving (say so)
If you wanna feel her hugging (say so)
