ERYKAH BADU
"Umm Hmm"
(Erykah Badu / Otis Jackson, Jr.)

[Chorus: Ndugu and Erykah Badu]
Take some time to let your feelings flow free
(Take some time to let your feelings show)
What we gon' do right here is go back
Let your feelings flow free
You can't hide away from what you need, yeah
(You can't hide, you can't hide)
Way back, Search the skies, a new horizon
(Sky's the limit, lemme really know)
A new horizon to unfold
Set yourself on the oceans of dreams to behold
(You can't hide, you can't hide)

[Verse 1: Erykah Badu]
Come down baby let me know (Umm Hmm)
I love how you make me feel (Umm Hmm)
Let's jump off into your world (Umm Hmm)
Hearts lead baby, it's your deal (Umm Hmm)
Thump, thump, I've been here before
(Umm Hmm)
Don't cheat, I been taking score (Umm Hmm)

[Chorus: Ndugu and Erykah Badu]
Take some time to let your feelings flow free
(Take some time to let your feelings show)
What we gon' do right here is go back
Let your feelings flow free
You can't hide away from what you need, yeah
(You can't hide, you can't hide)
Way back, Search the skies, a new horizon
(Sky's the limit, lemme really know)
A new horizon to unfold
Set yourself on the oceans of dreams to behold
(You can't hide, you can't hide)

[Verse 2: Erykah]
Come down baby let me, know(Umm hmm)
I love how you make me feel (Umm hmm)
You came to drop off into my world (Umm hmm)
Hearts lead baby, it's your deal (Umm hmm)
Thump, thump, I've been here before (Umm hmm)
Don't cheat, I been taking, score (Umm hmm)

[Chorus: Ndugu and Erykah Badu]
Take some time to let your feelings flow free
(Take some time to let your feelings show)
What we gon' do right here is go back
Let your feelings flow free
You can't hide away from what you need, yeah
(You can't hide, you can't hide)
Way back, Search the skies, a new horizon
(Sky's the limit, lemme really know)
A new horizon to unfold
Set yourself on the oceans of dreams to behold
(You can't hide, you can't hide)

[Verse 3: Erykah Badu]
(Umm hmm)
I know, I know, I know you care for me
(Umm hmm) 'cause you can't get away
(Umm hmm) I'm tryin' to sympathize with you, pimpin'
(Umm hmm) Don't play with me
Playa do I look like a play thing?
(Umm hmm) Boy you know the drill

Let your feelings flow free
You can't hide away from what you need, yeah
(You can't hide, you can't hide)
Way back, Search the skies, a new horizon
(Sky's the limit, lemme really know)
A new horizon to unfold
Set yourself on the oceans of dreams to behold
(You can't hide, you can't hide)
