Ocean, Frank - Songs For Women Lyrics






when i was younger
i used to wonder like

if i was singing songs
just to sing the songs
or if was singing cause
that's what the bitches wanted
i couldn't play guitar like van halen
had no secret chords like saint david
but you still came around
ate your lunch wit me
used to park your car
to try to bus with me
but i would say "girl dont be dumb"
i'm riding shotgun

we could go to my house after school
after school after school
cause my dad don't clock off till late
off till late off till late
we could kick it in the living room
looking through my whole vinyl collection
and you could teach me how to slow dance or something
and i can give you chills harmonizing to
otis, isley, marvin

and everytime somebody asked me
if i sing songs to get at women
i say yea
they say
no fair no fair that's cheating
i say shit o well o well
and everytime a nigga asks me
if i sing songs to get at women
i say yea
they say
no fair no no fair that's cheating
i say boah don't judge cause hell
if you were me

you'd be singing to her
like la da da da da
la da da da da
la da da da da

now i'm in the lab
always working late
always sleeping past
the break fast she makes
she used to stopby
come and holla at me
put her purse down
and try to battle rap me
she don't do that no more
no more no more
don't even listen to the songs i record
but she be banging that drake in my car
i'm so far gone
she stay blasting trey and his songs
all damn day long
it's like she never heard of me
heard of me

now everytime somebody asks me
if i sing songs to get at women
i say naw they say okay i don't believe it
i say nope i swear i never do it
and everytime a nigga asks me
if i sing songs to get at women
i say naw they say
who do you think you're kidding
i know you, you stole my girlfriend

now see i just don't play fair
but it's fair enough
cause yo girl broke my heart
in half
now i'm singing la da ad da ah ah
bout heartbreak oh
and now im'm singing la da da da da ah ah ah
bout love lost ohhh

  9. T.... S....

    The gems that only day ones know to find

  10. J.... J....

    1:59 and now, in 2019, Frank Ocean fans made history for booing the most commercially successful artist of the decade (DRAKE), the artist that replaced this amazingly talented musician at the 2019 Camp Flognaw. HISTORY LESSON FOLKS. Kids, 2019 was a great year. REDEMPTION. ✨♥️

    J.... J....

    Literally all he said was she was banging drake in his car

    J.... J....

    Fezzik Fezzik why did u feel like u needed to say this? Lol i know what he said and i was pointing out the beauty and irony in the songs context & connection to current events. You fucking lame, just enjoy the song and move along. Don't troll my casual comments. Using the word 'literally' to overemphasize your point shows just how unintelligent and contextually dense / limited you are.

    You think i didn't hear what he said? I put the minute marker in so that everyone could hear him say that line specifically. That would be the point of hi lighting the verse. He was pointing out the disappointment he felt when the women around him listened to drake rather than him, so you see captain obvious, my comment was subtly nodding to the irony that nearly a decade later, this same artist was booed in favor of Frank Ocean. I would suggest a quantifiable IQ / intelligence test to see how stupid you really are, officially on paper, for making that passive aggressive comment. Stay in school.

  11. s.... ....

    His voice is honestly beautiful

    [Intro]

    They say, "No fair, no fair, that's cheating"
    I say, "Shit, oh well, oh well"
    And every time a nigga asks me

    I say, "Boy, don't judge 'cause, hell, if you were me
    You'd be singin' to her, like lah dah-dah, dah-dah
    Lah dah-dah, dah-dah, lah dah-dah, dah-dah

    [Verse 2]
    Now I'm in the lab, always working late
    Always sleeping past the breakfast she makes
    She used to stop by, come and holla at me
    Put her purse down and try to battle rap me
    She don't do that no more, no more, no more
    Don't even listen to the songs I record
    But she be banging that Drake in my car
    I'm So Far Gone, she stay blasting Trey and his songs
    All damn day long, it's like she never heard of me, heard of me

    [Chorus]
    Now every time somebody asks me
    If I sing songs to get my women
    I say, "Naw", they say, "Okay, I don't believe it"
    I say "Nope, I swear I never do it"

    They say, "Who do you think you're kidding?
    I know you, you stole my girlfriend"
    Fair enough, you see I just don't play fair, but it's fair enough
    'Cause your girl broke my heart in half
    Now I'm singing lah dah, dah-dah ‘bout heartbreak
    And now I'm singing lah dah, dah-dah 'bout love lost

    [Outro]
    (Harmonizing)
    Damn [laughs]
    I'm saying though, like all I write is love songs
    I mean I try, I come to the studio I-, you know what I do
    What do you think I do it for? Huh?
    Yeah, uh-huh
    But you ain't listening, ever
    But if you were, you might fuck with it
    Yeah, all these songs for women
    Songs for women
    Songs for you, baby
    For you
