I'm a recovering undercover over-lover 

recovering from a love I can't get over 

recovering undercover over-lover 

and now my common law lover thinks he wants another 



And I'd lie for you 

I'd cry for you 

and pop for you 

and break for you 

and hate for you 

And I'll hate you too 

If you want me too 

Ah, Uuu... 

I'd pray for you 

crochet for you 

Make it from scratch for you 

Leave out the last for you 

Go to the store for you 

Do it some more for you 

Do what you want me to 

Yes I'm a fool for you... 



I'm a recovering undercover over-lover 

recovering from a love I can't get over 

(I) recovering undercover over-lover 

And now my common law lover thinks he wants another 



And I'd lie for you 

and cry for you 

and pop for you 

and break for you 

and hate for you 

and I'll hate you too 

If you want me too 

I gotta do my love for you 

chopped and screwed for you 

Pay the rent for you 

It's true it's true 

Poor Badu 

Thought I was through with you 

Guess I'm a fool for you... 



Could this be 

Love from high 

New frontier 

Whose this guy 

Your so wise 

I'm so good 

Like summertime 

You'd had it all 

Build a wall 

Ten feet tall 

Now I laugh at it all 

Out my mind 

Just in time 

Never knew... 

I was blind 

What it through 

I can't see there 

Mama say 

Let there be 

Easily 

Said and done 

I can't feel 

I am numb 

Bitter dream 

Fruit so raw 

Winter cold 

Let me out 

I know you 

Do you hear me 



Out my mind, 

just in time 



Oho I... 

Oho I... 

Oho I... 

Oho I... 

Yeah 

Man... 

This This 

I'm so addicted 

I can't quit 

Oh 

I follow this, Yeah. 

It's time for me to make some steps 

Easy to blame somebody else 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this 

No 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this 

No 

But not this time... 

But not this time 

But not this 

No 

But not this time... 

But not this time 

But not this 

No 

20 feet out of ashes I can rise 

Just like birds and children 

I can fly 

And I'll take my phoenix flight 

And you can't take mine 

but you can try, ah no 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this 

No 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this 

No 

But not this time... 

But not this time 

But not this 

No 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this time 

But not this 

Hey 

On and on 

I seem to go 

Round and round I seem to go 

always had the antidote 

looking for the Holy Ghost 

Found him in the missing note 

sinking in a holy boat 

Round and round 

I seem to go 

Round and round...(round)...and round 

Oho I ... 

Oho I... 

Oho I... 

Yeah, 

guess it's time to grab a coat 

evolution time to grow 

Ego trying to block the door 

Might not have nowhere to go 

I finally got a leading role 

introducing super dope 

Staring in her episode 

Hello, new world 

out my mind.
