Solange Knowles - Some Things Never Seem To Fucking Work Lyrics
I've seen you with the lights off
I've seen you when you think you love me
I've seen you with your hat off
I'm dreaming of a time when you knew me
Tell me if you got some more-ore
I'm thinking of some time off, off
I'm dreaming of a time when you knew me
Some things never seem to fucking work
Remember when you kissed me (kissed me)
At Jimmy John's when I was 17
Convinced myself you were the shit (were the shit)
Convinced myself you loved me
So baby, is that all you've got?
Tell me if you got some more-ore
I'm thinking of some time off, off
I'm dreaming of a time when you knew me
So maybe then we're better off
Well maybe if it's all you wanted
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
So maybe then we're better off
Well maybe if it's all you wanted
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Remember when you missed me (missed me)
We'd accidentally meet purposely
Convinced that we were meant to be (meant to be)
Convinced myself you loved me
So baby, is it all you've got?
Tell me if you got some more-ore
I'm thinking of some time off (time off, off)
I'm dreaming of a time when you knew me
So maybe then we're better off
Well maybe if it's all you wanted
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
So maybe then we're better off (better off)
Well maybe if it's all you wanted
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Some things never seem to fucking work
So tell me, is it real love or some kind of mistake
They made together that we couldn't anticipate?
And my attraction to you made all that much worse
But it's either something maybe
A longing and hatred of myself
Not wanting to end up alone
So the night I saw you, I could pretend I thought you
Were beautiful and that's all I ever really saw
But the truth is, as much as I hate it, you were a bore
So I try and deny it, I tried to fight it
But I brought your ride home on the 95 bus
Never for the diamond line to us
Would eventually become an us
So to the others looking from the outside in
So now I'm calling out for a way
To give myself in
Remember when you kissed me, when I was 17
Convinced myself that you were the shit
That you loved me
So maybe then we're better off
Well maybe if it's all you wanted
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
So maybe then we're better off (better off)
Well maybe if it's all you wanted
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Some things never seem to fucking work

Ma Sister Haves This Song On Her Phone The Slow One But I Love It When I Have Her Phone I Play That Song She Doesn't Like No more But I Love It
Fucking Epic Song
I think she is the ULTRA of her sister..., one does pop, soul, RnB.. the other one (Solange) experimented everything her sister would never do...like 80s dance, pop yes but also alternative pop/rock. 2 sisters to reign all over..
What a masterpiece
Some things never seem to fucking work exactly like my life
this gives me 90's vibes. I love it
I love this song as much as I love "Lovers in the Parking Lot." True is an Underrated album.
Love this song, but fuck Jimmy John's
#Solange
Very nice song. I saw her live last week at Montreux Jazz. Brilliant performance!
Superstar
Michael Jackson. The way you make me feel, Intro.

Baby girl got it going on I love this. Her voice is pretty and pure such a breath of fresh air.
I adore this. And her eye makeup is on point.
I think you are a musical genius. it has depth and soul.
Some Thing Never seem To Fucking Work

This song's got those MJ The Way You Make Me Feel vibes
I didn't notice it until you pointed it out :~O ha
I know rightttt...!!
She's like a breath of fresh air in a very generic industry.
Well said.
I Know She's Awesome I Love This Song :3
A pretty good song with a pretty good voice and a Gorgeous Woman :D
jedinečná,krásna,s perfektným štýlom hudby,nenahraditelná
Some things never seem to fucking work... like her career...
Lol damn
mongobongofy neither do your life endeavors
Like this SONG...
She is the sister that didn't sell her sole. She is funky creative and I love her style
She needs her sole to walk
@jose ang lol
@Moesha Dunn I was going to comment something serious but then that comment made me bust out laughing too lol. fuk it here goes.
Yes she is the sister who did not sell out. I think she quit making music for this very reason, her sister sold out. Solange now knows more about the music industry than any unsigned artist. I think the title of this song is a reflection of her struggle to get her uplifting music out instead of that filth her sister produces. There were rumors that the fight between Solange an Jay Z was because Jay kept making promises to help her music career but never did because Jay knows even more about the music industry, they will not allow uplifting music to be heavily promoted. Jay also knows that with the direction hip hop and R&B has went she would never make it, not because she isn't good, but because there would be no serious demand for her. The niche for this type of music is extremely small. It would take years of conditioning to make the style popular again.
Having said that. History does repeat itself.. Your great great great grandchildren will most likely be listening to swing music.
shut the fuck with your pretentious bullshit ginsuma
Solange is like the hipster Beyonce.
@ThatChick Disha That is quite interesting, I never knew. Thank you for that.
Lmao with all this crazy satanic conspiracy theory stuff. Stop smoking so much weed, it's making you paranoid.
+ThatChick Disha don't you think of solange sold her soul she would be more famous than this like this is my first song I've heard so don't say she sold her soul because you sound stupid
+ThatChick Disha
Illuminati doesn't exist.😂😂😂 tupac killed those rumours
yes! lmao
This music doesn't work :)
The better looking Knowles sister IMO.
+tsx53 no
million percent
I love her..& her music!!
A no talent hack, who is riding on her sister's coat tails.
this girl is a gem!
Wow. Why am I *just* listening to her music?! Her style is just my type. Eclectic sound: 80's feel, R&B, a little techno, and soul/funk all mixed up together
Its halfway through 2017 and I"m just now hearing this. Love it.
She sucks horned and rotten twats...long live Beyonce...true talent, Beyonce...
This is really nice here loves it.
well it's worse when nothing seems to fucking work ...
tiene una voz angelical mejor que beyonce
no lo digas ni de broma! beyonce tiene una voz espectacular
@lolloprof
tan verdadero
love her work!!
what a tittle wow
I LIKE HER MUSIC ALOT
Dope Song love the hood in you :)
Love it
I love her!
sucks she gets compared to Beyonce because she's her own person and has a different style that I think is so versatile, love it!
Came here to say that.
Such a nice sound. :)
Leave me alone....Solo reminds me of 1980s dance music bring back real music...I feel like if she didn't look so ethnic....(hair) she would be famous.....Hollywood hate a ethnic looking sister who proud to be black and not screaming I'm not black I'm creole .....Solo keep doing u don't sale out....grind to shine its coming
Heh, she pretty much responds to this with "Fuck This Industry" in the lyrics:
Aww, yeah
Here we go again
Solo, can you tone it down? Be more like them
But everything I'm not makes me everything I am
Aww, yeah
Ooh, here we go again
People talking shit but when the shit hits the fan
Everything I'm not makes me everything I am
I agree.....
Her hair is quiet beautiful. Anyone who would be jealous of that is a sheer envious idiot :)
am sorry but to me she better than her sis a better more STAR QUALITY YUP THATS WAAT I THINK
lol noo solange i love you but this fucki-in-ggg su-ckss
That melody at 4:34 is so beautiful. Solange is a musical genius
+Empressive i agree
I love you so damn much girl! #original keep the good music flowing! fuck those haters :- ) #stupidity
What kind of title is this for a song?
I'm sorry I just can't feel it at all,but do your thing. I'm just one person.
If she take off that shaking shit .. this song would be lit
solange ur not happy why don't u turn ur life to God, look at the type of song u write smh girl u have all right to ark at jayz all woman should e like that
she looks like her sister
she prob hate hearing that
I love her style
Her voice is great and it goes so well with her hair and makeup. However, the lyrics and beats have gotta go. She should do a duet with another artist. She clearly has the skills to pull off a hit. I wonder what she would sound like diing one of Ray Charles hits.
Should have just left the music to beyonce. Beyonce is amazing. Wtf happened to you? Just saying!
Loving the 80's vibe.
She is so underrated
Her voice is beautiful. the music beat sucks! the lyrics are childish! If she could get sum real raw lyrics and sum good beats she really could go sumwhere. The little spot without drums was the best part of the song...Just her succulent voice..
Well said!
She wrote a lot of Beyoncé's songs this is jus her style
yeah so she can be like the rest? she's unique & that's exactly why she's underrated
I love it. Much better than her sister.
Minja58 Amen
At least there's no dancing.
She actually has a song I like. Imagine that!
She's dope Sol Angel fasho
im feeling like this right now.
I love this song! Solange is so underrated! She's a talented song writer who doesn't get the credit she deserves!
That's right...some things just don't work....
Lived it
People are annoying just enjoy the music!
Foreals .
i cant quite get why this is such a gentle song.... yet the title is some 'things never seem to f****** work' whats with the swearing? o.O
Do u fucking listen to the song
yes.... I do....
I know I Love the song !!! and I love her! with the 80's feel back, but it could work without the swear word. It would make it kid appropriate because most of her music all ages can listen to.
@Rachel Mason
too analytical. Just listen.
Some people just like to say Fuck... They arent swear words, so much as "sentence enhancers" ;)
Keep it flowin
She reminds me of Jody Watly.
I was just saying that watching her "Lovers in the Parking Lot" video
