Today

ERYKAH BADU

11

Please oh please

wear blue ain't green

so flowers can bloom and birds can sing

today

Hang out with your friends

cool breezing sun

and I'ma join y'all so we can all have fun

today

and blow me a kiss

and dry my clothes

while I run through the sheets like I'm 5 years old

today

You got the natural wood grain with the big ol' 'fro

your fresh 15's got me ridin' low

today

smile today

smile today

smile today

smile

today

See you got this new man

who treats you wrong

but I'ma do you good before you're used and gone

today

and if you feelin' kinda grey

I understand

emotions sway but I'm still your friend

today

You got bugs in your house

that you let run free

but if they don't bug you then they don't bug me

today

See, I respect you and you respect me back

so I'ma make sure I put my trash in the sack

today

smile today

smile today..

(feel good today)

In orange and brown you look so young

so let's spend the night 'n tell purple to come

today

and I'ma sing you a song so play that track

with the crickets in the back that so abstract

today

and as I take a deep breath

I close my eyes

I say a little prayer for the sun to rise

today

(tomorrow)

and I see in the morning all bright and fresh

and I'll be the girl in the yellow dress

new day, new day

smile today

smile today
