[Refrain]
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
[Verse 1]
And I'd lie for you, I cry for you
And pop for you and break for you
And hate for you, and hate you too
If you want me too, ah, ooh, ooh
I pray for you, crochet for you
Make it from scratch for you, leave off the latch for you
Go to the store for you, do it some more for you
Do what you want me to, guess I'm a fool for you
[Refrain]
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
[Verse 2]
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, chop and screw for you
Paint it red for you, it's true, it's true
Poor Badu, ooh
Thought I was through with you, guess I'm a fool for you
[Verse 3]
Could this be love from high?
New frontier, who's this guy?
You're so wise, I'm so gone
By summertime, you had it all
Built a wall ten-feet tall
Now I laugh at it all
Out my mind, just in time
Never knew I was blind
What to do? I can't see there
Mama said, "Let that be"
Easily said than done
I can't feel, I am numb
Bitter tree, fruit so raw
Winter cold, let me thaw
I know you, you, do you hear me?
Out my mind, just in time
[Refrain]
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
[Verse 4]
Yeah, man, fuck this shit, fuck this shit
I'm so addicted, I can't quit
Oh, I'm tired of this
Yeah, it's time for me to make some steps, easy to blame somebody else
[Refrain]
Hey, 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
[Verse 5]
Twenty feet up 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
[Refrain]
Ah, no, not this time, 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
[Verse 6]
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 hole-y boat
'Round and 'round I seem to go, 'round and 'round and 'round
[Refrain]
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
[Outro]
Yeah, guess it's time to grab a coat, evolution's time to grow
Ego trying to block the door, might not have nowhere to go
I finally got a leading role, INTRODUCING 'SUPER DOPE'
Starring in her episode, hello, new world, OUT MY MIND
