damn

womens voice:

hey this is me, i'm not in right now, but if you leave your name

and your number, i'll just might think about calling you back.

have a pleasent day.



Pick up the phone girl, i know that you home

please don't leave me all alone with the sound of this tone.

come on pick up, pick up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up

i know i don't deserve it cuz of how i messed up

but alright cool, sit and listen

i'm missing your kiss and now a tear drop glistens

i had a bit to drink, kinda threw me

things just happened, she didn't mean nuthin to me

you know me baby, i'm still that same man

that asked for your hand, and still the same plan



another brother falls by the wayside

another brother falls by the play side



i knew ever since i was a kid

that i was going to pay the piper for the things i did

but now theres no more us, no more we

no more nuthin, girl, damn and its all cuz of me



***chorus***

no more late nights watching tv

no more talks on the phone till three

no more playing in the leaves in the fall

no more piggy back rides in the mall

no more ice cream cones to share

no more sittin just playin in your hair

no more picnics out by the sea

there ain't no more nuthin and its all cuz of me



damn, some brothers yeah we huff and we puff

cuz when we're hurtin inside, we gots to front like we tuff

but thats dangerous, to cover hurt with hard

because you still get scared through that feeble facade

then the bonds of your ego, when the shackles of manhood

makes you lose something thats damn good

a picture in my mind of us hand and hand walking

so alive, now i'm a dead man talking

why can't you just pick it up so we can sit and just talk

why can't i meet you somewhere so we can go take a walk

i can't hide, air, land, or sea. cuz everytme i turn around, there i be

when i was with u i felt free, now i'm in a cage called me

now i see, no more us, no more we

no more nuthin girl damn, and its all cuz of me



***chorus*** (twice)
