Nov 2019 back here

This song is masterpiece of art.👌🏾

Know that love will never be the same, but I cant stand these growing pains...

You cant be what I need you to and I don't know why I fuck with you. What else is there to say?

Heard this on npr tiny concert. I’m late and this is a long song. Love ❤️ it.

Love Erykah. That's all I can say.

My eyes are green
'Cause I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do
With your new friend
My eyes are green
'Fause I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do
With your new friend
I don't care I swear
I'm too through with you, I am
And you don't mean nothing to me
So go ahead and be
With your friend
My eyes are green
'Cause I eats a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do
With your new friend
I'm insecure
But I can't help it
My mind says "move on"
My heart lags behind
But I don't love you anymore
I'm so insecure
Never knew that love did this
Ooh ooh ooh
I can't remember the last time
I felt this way about somebody
You've done something to my mind
That I can't control
But I don't love you anymore
Yes I do I think
Loving you is wrong
Is it?
Ooh ooh ooh
Ladida dumb de dada
Dumb di de da de da
Dumb de da de dumb de
I'm so confused
You tried to trick me yeah
Ooh oh ooh
Never knew that love could hurt like this
Never thought I would but I got this
Makes me feel so sad and hurt inside
Feel embarrassed so I want to hide
Silly me I thought your love was true
Change my name to silly e badu
Before I heal it's gonna be a while
I know it's gonna be a while chile
Da de da dee dee da
Da dee dee dee dee
I hope it's not too late
Too late too late too late
Feelin' insecure
Love has got me sore
I don't want no more ooh
Yeah it's too late oh ooh
I'm sorry I love you
It hurts me ooh
You told me you loved me too
Ooh then you lost your love
Oh then you lost your love
And then you lost your love, wanted me to go away
But I can't sleep
I can't leave it's too late
I can't leave it's too late
I can't leave it's too late
I can't leave it's too late
Just make love to me
Just one more time
And then you'll see
I can't believe I made a desperate plea
What's with me?
Me me yeah
See I can't leave it's too late
I can't leave it's too late
I can't leave it's too late
Yeah I ain't goin' nowhere no
It's too late too late
Too late too late
Come on babe
Don't you want be strong with me
You told me we had a family
Want to run 'cause I weigh ya down
But times get tough and there you go
Out the door you want to run again
Open my heart will you come back again?
Want to run 'cause you say that you are afraid
You're afraid oh
Never knew what a friendship was
Never knew how to breathe love
You can't be what I need you to
And I don't know why I fuck with you
I know our love will never be the same
But I can't stand these growin' pains

I fucking love this song
All three stages of it

I feel every emotion in this song right now. So confused. My and my heart is not on the same accord.

This song is pure talent

luv u Erykah but your eyes not Green..u eyes hazel.

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

November 2019 who here 😭

First time I heard this it was on a local Jazz station here in L.A. Lit up the switchboard so damned bad, the D.J. got bit touchy announcing the name... Chill, Dude. People wanted to know!

This song gives me Casanova Brown by Tina Marie tease. It goes through so many states and touches on things in a breakup.

Shit gets real lit @5:00🔥🎶🎧

All the stages of mourning a love gone to another in one song. The musical transitions are perfect! This song came out almost 20 years ago and became my favorite song by her and still is. I never thought it would have so much meaning to me all these years later.

I've been listening to this song since it came out. It's made me laugh, cry, and go through all the emotions one could go through, that's ever been in love.
Nobody on this planet but my sister, and uncle knows I can sing, and I've been singing this one... along with Stevie Wonder's Rocket Love. So much passion and pain. This one resonates deep within my soul. Ms. Badu is my favorite artist. I was so upset when I missed her this past summer. I hope she performs this song when she through Detroit next time.

Get chills when i listen, Powerful Miss Badu

I’m smoking green eyes - Duwap Kaine

I always listen to this song when I need a good cry

Emotionalism to music

Its 2019 and this song still does things to me.

💙💙💙

still crankin in 2019

❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

Maya - Rapsody

Pisces love just like this. They will fight for their relationship. Scorpios love them but they can't stand scorpios🤔

This song describes my feelings perfectly

I made that desperate plea... sitting here crying to this song....she sings my heart and soul ......"And I Dont know why I fuck with you!"

Erykah badu is the most underrated artist of my lifetime..

This is my life right fucking now !!!!&

Masterpiece

This song sends chills down my spine every time I listen to it!!! MAN I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!

I think that this is her best song! Goes thru all the emotions of a break up

My eyes are green
'Cause I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
My eyes are green
'Cause I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

[Verse 1]
I don't care, I swear
I'm too through with you, I am
You don't mean nothing to me
So go ahead and be with your friend

[Chorus]
My eyes are green
'Cause I eats a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

[Part II]

[Intro]
I'm insecure
But I can't help it
My mind says move on
My heart lags behind
But I don't love you any more
I'm so insecure
Never knew that love did this
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh


I can't remember the last time I felt this way
About somebody
You've done something to my mind
And I can't control it
But I don't love you any more
Yes, I do, I think
Loving you is wrong
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

La-di-da
Dum-dee-da-da
Dum-didi-da-di-da-di-da
Dum-didi-da-di-dum-di

I'm so confused
You tried to trick me, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Never knew that love could hurt like this
Never thought I would, but I got dissed
Makes me feel so sad and hurt inside
Feel embarrassed so I want to hide
Silly me—I thought your love was true
Change my name to Silly E. Badu
Before I heal, it's gonna be a while
I know it's gonna be a while, chil'

[*ad-libs*]

I hope it's not too late
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too—
Feeling insecure
Love has got me sore
I don't want no more

Oh, oh
It's too late, oh, oh ooh, ooh
I'm sorry I love you
At first, it was cool
You told me you loved me, too, ooh
And then you lost your love
Oh, then you lost your love
And then you lost your love
You wanted me to go away
But I can't go
See, I can't leave, it's too late
I can't leave, it's too late
I can't leave, it's too late
I can't leave, it's too late

Just make love to me
Just one more time and then you'll see
I can't believe I made a desperate plea
What's with me? Me? Me, yeah, ye-ah, no, oh
You see I can't leave, it's too late
I can't leave, it's too late
Don't you know, I can't leave, it's too late
Can't go nowhere, no
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late, yeah
Come on, babe

Don't you wanna be strong with me?
You told me we could have a family
Wanna run to mama when you're down and low
But times get tough, and there you go
Ooh, out the door, you wanna run again
Open the arms and you'll come back in
Wanna run 'cause you say that you were afraid, afraid, oh

Never knew what a friendship was
Never knew how to really love
You can't be what I need you to
And I don't know why I fuck with you

I know our love will never be the same
But I can't stand these growing pains

Dope shit🔥🔥🔥🔥

Still playing in 2019 and so on. Favorite song ever!

I don’t careeee, I swear, I’m too through with youuu

The fact that it's 10 minutes long

TIL...I bought Baduizm but slept on Mama's Gun...and 20 years later I hear one of the greatest songs ever made.

The Jazz in this piece is Dope to Death🔥🔥🔥 Flute💓💓💓💖💗💞💜💚💘💙💚💜🖤💝👂🏿👂🏿👐🏿👂🏿 🎵🎼🎶🎤🎧

This song laugh me something every time I listened to it.

"You cant be what I need you too, and I dont know why I f^ck wit'chu...." Growing Pangs....

Dope to infinity ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

My ex introduced me to Badu when we met, and I ended up listening to her first album religiously throughout out 7 year relationship.

I never went beyond Baduizm until we split about 6 months ago. Was it coincidence or fate that brought me to this track? I don't know. It's helping though. Thanks for being incredible.

Too bad she didnt write this

Hearing the with earphones on is amazing!!

"But I can't stand these Growing Pains"...😪

This song literally helped me get through a breakup

"....and then you lost your love" 😭

I just love how she told every single emotion of a break up

Still bumping this and it’s 2019!

2019 tho

Sooooooo deeeeeeeeeeeppppp0
Af

Please Lord let Eryka read this!!! Please, Eryka can you make an album of this style of songs?

This WHOLE ALBUM IS DOPE; even in 2019!

my eyes are green i eat my veggies

Tiny Desk Concert brought me here.

2019 still on repeat

2019...

Like this if you’re here in 2019 💖

This will always be perfection

I loved this song before I understood it. Lol.

"I thought your love was true..." but it was just voodoo# freestyle

Never knew what a friendship was, Never knew how to really love... 💖💜💖

This girl flew me out to New York introduced me to her daughter made me feel something just to have her ex move in with her after I leave. Why fly me out why??????

Cuz she a hoe

I didn’t understand what she meant by growing pains but now I understand damn that’s deep

Still playing in 2019

7 years later Million Views

A classic message.

Shug from The Color Purple is that you???

The truth goal of an artist is the definitive work.

Still listening in 2019?

Have this song on repeat!!! After 13 years, We aren't the same anymore dont want to question the motive but and I'm okay with it. Growing pains.

Still listening in 2019 ...and I'm still addicted to this feeling...

This song, just breathtaking & certainly a simple gem ❤️✨

The 1st part of the song gives you turn of the 20th century “Shug Avery” vibes. The 2nd part is mid-20th century vocal jazz. Then, the 3rd part brings it all the way round to modern day neo-soul. It’s both a journey through time as well as an homage to the evolution of black American soul music from the past century, showcasing it’s evolution in lyricism and feeling. What a masterpiece. What an artist.

Hurting in 2019

2019 anyone?

2019... I’m jammin like it’s my first time listening to it.

When I was in my 20s I was mesmerized by this Cut
I'm 46 and still shed tears from joy and sadness of past loss when I listen to the Queen.
Listen to this on the NPR TINY DESK at High volume.

masterpiece theatre in 3 acts: 5:00 is just ectasy
