Ladies Love Lyrics: Erykah Badu "Green Eyes"

It's ten minutes long and could never be a single. But, Erykah Badu's "Green Eyes" is essentially three songs wrapped in one. The beat changes three times. The lyrics are intoxicating. This has been one of my favorite by Badu since "Mama's Gun" dropped. I was reminded of its brilliance when it played on my Spotify radio a few minutes ago. Great song that everyone can relate to. I love that it is so dope that you never realize that it is ten minutes long. Great piece by Badu. PErfect choice for my "Ladies Love Lyrics" posts. Get into the lyrics and video below. 

"My eyes are green

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

I don't care, I swear

I'm too thru with you I am

You don't mean nothing to me

So go ahead and be with your friend

My eyes are green

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

I'm insecure

But I can't help it

My mind says move on

My heart lags behind

But I don't love you any more

I'm so insecure

Never knew that love did this

Ooh, ooh

I can't remember the last time I felt this way

About somebody

You've done something to my mind

And I can't control it

But I don't love you any more

Yes I do, I think

Loving you is wrong baby

Ooh, ooh

La-di-da

Dum-dee-da-da

Dum-didi-da-da-da

Dum-didi-da-dum-di

I'm so confused

You tried to trick me yeah

Ooh, ooh, oh

Never knew that love could hurt like this

Never thought I would but I got dissed

Makes me feel so sad and hurt inside

Feel embarrased so I want to hide

Silly me I thought your love was true

Change my name to Silly E. Badu

Before I heal, it's gonna be a while

I know it's gonna be a while, chile

I hope it's not too late

Too late, too late, too late

Feeling insecure

Your love has got me sore

I don't want no more

Oh, oh

It's too late, oh, oh ooh, ooh

I'm sorry I love you

At first it was cool

You told me you loved me too, ooh

And then you lost your love

And then you lost your love

And then you lost your love

You wanted me to go away

But I can't go

See I can't leave, it's too late

I can't leave, it's too late

I can't leave, it's too late

I can't leave, it's too late

Just make love to me

Just one more time and then you'll see

I can't believe I made a desparate plea

Believe me yeah, ye-ah, no, oh

You see I can't leave, it's too late

I can't leave, it's too late

Don't you know, I can't leave, it's too late

Can't go no where, no

It's too late

It's too late

It's too late

It's too late yeah

Come on babe

Don't you want to be strong with me

You told me we could have a family

Want to run to me when you're down and low

But times get tough and there you go

Out the door, you wanna run again

Open your arms and you'll come back in

Wanna run cause you say your afraid, afraid

Never knew what a friendship was

Never knew how to really love

You can't be what I need you to

And I don't know why I fuck with you

I know our love will never be the same

But I can't stand the growing pains."
