It's a classic case, I have to put on the line..
Badu sang about it when she said, 'I guess i'll see you next lifetime'
And Armatrading wants to know if it's the weakness in she,
Pitting what she wants against what she thinks she needs.
From the moment I was introduced to you
I realized I met you in a dream I'd had years ago..
I felt betrayed by mystery and time
Your heart belongs to someone else now, and so does mine.
So why do I keep conjuring you up? Inviting you in?
Balancing you precariously on the periphery?
Isn't it funny to want somebody near you so you can mourn them like a missed oppurtunity?
