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

So baby, is it 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

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

    m.... ....

    mongobongofy neither do your life endeavors

  52. M.... ....

    Like this SONG...

  53. J.... H....

    She is the sister that didn't sell her sole. She is funky creative and I love her style

    J.... H....

    She needs her sole to walk 

    J.... H....

    @jose ang lol

    J.... H....

    @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.

    J.... H....

    shut the fuck with your pretentious bullshit ginsuma

  54. e.... ....

    Solange is like the hipster Beyonce.

    e.... ....

    @ThatChick Disha That is quite interesting, I never knew. Thank you for that.

    e.... ....

    Lmao with all this crazy satanic conspiracy theory stuff. Stop smoking so much weed, it's making you paranoid.

    e.... ....

    +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

    e.... ....

    +ThatChick Disha
    Illuminati doesn't exist.😂😂😂 tupac killed those rumours

    e.... ....

    yes! lmao

  55. G.... M....

    This music doesn't work :)

  56. t.... ....

    The better looking Knowles sister IMO.

    t.... ....

    +tsx53 no

    t.... ....

    million percent

  57. N.... S....

    I love her..& her music!!

  58. I.... A....

    A no talent hack, who is riding on her sister's coat tails.  

  59. m.... ....

    this girl is a gem! 

  60. Y.... ....

    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

    Y.... ....

    Its halfway through 2017 and I"m just now hearing this. Love it.

  61. H.... ....

  70. B.... D....

  71. Y.... J....

    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! 

    Y.... J....

    Came here to say that.
    Such a nice sound. :)

  72. k.... k....

    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

    k.... k....

    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

    k.... k....

    I agree.....

    k.... k....

    Her hair is quiet beautiful. Anyone who would be jealous of that is a sheer envious idiot :)

  73. g.... b....

  74. b.... ....

    lol noo solange i love you but this fucki-in-ggg su-ckss

  75. E.... ....

    That melody at 4:34 is so beautiful. Solange is a musical genius

    E.... ....

    +Empressive i agree

  76. S.... M....

    I love you so damn much girl! #original  keep the good music flowing! fuck those haters :- ) #stupidity  

  77. P.... R....

    What kind of title is this for a song?

  78. L.... L....

    I'm sorry I just can't feel it at all,but do your thing. I'm just one person.

  79. G.... A....

    If she take off that shaking shit .. this song would be lit 

  80. s.... s....

    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

  81. E.... N....

    she looks like her sister

    E.... N....

    she prob hate hearing that

  82. J.... O....

    I love her style

  83. l.... a....

    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.

  84. l.... m....

    Should have just left the music to beyonce. Beyonce is amazing. Wtf happened to you? Just saying!

  85. L.... L....

    Loving the 80's vibe. 

  86. j.... w....

    She is so underrated

  87. O.... T....

    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..

    O.... T....

    Well said!

    O.... T....

    She wrote a lot of Beyoncé's songs this is jus her style

    O.... T....

    yeah so she can be like the rest? she's unique & that's exactly why she's underrated

    O.... T....

    I love it. Much better than her sister. 

    O.... T....

    Minja58 Amen

  88. S.... S....

    At least there's no dancing.

  89. h.... ....

    She actually has a song I like. Imagine that!

  90. A.... a....

    She's dope Sol Angel fasho

  91. D.... H....

    im feeling like this right now.

  92. P.... ....

    I love this song! Solange is so underrated! She's a talented song writer who doesn't get the credit she deserves!

  93. S.... J....

    That's right...some things just don't work....

  94. C.... H....

    Lived it

  95. C.... C....

    People are annoying just enjoy the music!

    C.... C....

    Foreals .

  96. R.... M....

    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

    R.... M....

    Do u fucking listen to the song

    R.... M....

    yes.... I do....

    R.... M....

    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.

    R.... M....

    @Rachel Mason
    too analytical. Just listen.

    R.... M....

    Some people just like to say Fuck... They arent swear words, so much as "sentence enhancers" ;) 

  97. J.... F....

    Keep it flowin

  98. J.... C....

    She reminds me of Jody Watly.

    J.... C....

    I was just saying that watching her "Lovers in the Parking Lot" video
