You Sent Me Flying & Cherry

[00:01.91] Lent you Outsidaz and my new Badu

[00:11.76] While you were thinking I didn't have a clue

[00:21.30] Tough to sort files with your voice in my head

[00:30.59] So then I bribed you downstairs with a Marlboro Red, uh

[00:39.02] And now I feel so small discovering you knew

[00:43.80] How much more torture would you have put me through?

[00:48.57] You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes

[00:53.35] Or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes, yeah

[00:59.37] And although my pride is not easy to disturb, yeah

[01:09.17] You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb

[01:18.70] With your battered jeans and your Beasties tee

[01:27.99] Now I can't work like this, no, no, with you next to me

[01:37.79] And although he's nothing in the scheme of my years

[01:47.58] It just serves to bludgeon my futile tears

[01:57.37] And I'm not use to this, no, no

[02:00.89] I observe, yeah, I don't chase

[02:06.17] But now I sit with consequences thrust in my face, yeah

[02:15.10] And the melodramas of my day deliver blows

[02:19.62] And that surpass your rejection, it just goes to show

[02:24.64] A simple attraction that reflects right back to me

[02:29.41] So I'm not as into you as I appear to be, yeah

[02:35.44] And although my pride, yeah, is not easily disturbed, yeah

[02:45.23] You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb

[02:54.76] With your battered jeans, yeah, and your Beasties tee

[03:04.30] Now I can't work like this, no, with you next to me

[03:13.85] His message was brutal, but the delivery was kind

[03:22.90] Maybe if I get this down, I'll get it off my mind, yeah

[03:32.70] Oh, it serves to condition me and smoothen my kinks, yeah

[03:42.50] Despite my frustration for the way that he thinks

[03:50.79] And I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect

[03:55.81] At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect

[04:00.83] Didn't think you'd get my number down as such

[04:05.35] But I've never hated myself for my age so much, yeah

[04:11.38] And although my pride, yeah, is not easy to disturb, yeah

[04:21.17] You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb

[04:30.71] So with your battered jeans, yeah, and your Beasties tee

[04:40.25] Now I can't work like this, no, no, with you next to me, yeah

[04:50.04] And although my pride, yeah, is not easy to disturb, yeah

[04:59.35] You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb, yeah

[05:09.14] So with your battered jeans, yeah, and your Beasties tee

[05:18.58] Her name is Cherry, we've just met

[05:23.86] But already she knows me better than you

[05:29.64] She understands me after eighteen years

[05:35.16] And you still don't see me like you ought to do

[05:41.19] Maybe we could talk 'bout things

[05:43.95] If you was made of wood and strings

[05:46.47] While I love her every sound

[05:49.48] I don't know how to tune you down

[05:52.24] You're so thick and my patience's thin

[05:55.00] So I got me a new best friend

[05:57.65] With a pickup that puts you to shame

[06:00.66] And Cherry is her name

[06:03.17] And when I'm lonely, Cherry's there

[06:08.70] And she plays along while I sing out my blues

[06:14.22] I could be crying, and you don't care

[06:20.00] You won't call me back, you're stubborn as a mule

[06:25.67] Maybe we could talk 'bout things

[06:31.20] If you was made of wood and strings

[06:36.86] You might think I've gone too far

[06:42.39] I'm talking 'bout my new guitar
