"Some Things Never Seem To Fucking Work" lyrics - SOLANGE

I've seen you with the lights off;
I've seen you when you think you love me...
I've seen you with your hat off;
I'm dreaming of a time when you knew me...

So baby, is that all you got?
Tell me if you got some more...
I'm thinking of some time off;
I'm dreaming of a time when you knew me...

Some things never seem to fucking work...

Remember when you kissed me (kissed me...)
At Jimmy John's when I was seventeen?
Convinced myself you were the shit; (Were the shit...)
Convinced myself you loved me...

So baby, is that all you got? (All you got...)
Tell me if you got some more...
I'm thinking of some time off; (Time off...)
I'm dreaming of a time when you knew me...

So maybe then we're better off;
Well, maybe if this all you wanted,
Leave me alone...
Leave me alone...

So maybe then we're better off;
Well, maybe if it's all you wanted,
Leave me alone...
Leave me alone...

Remember when you missed me? (Missed me...)
We'd accidentally meet purposely...
Convinced that we were meant to be; (Meant to be...)
Convinced myself you loved me...

So baby, is that all you got? (All you got...)
Tell me if you got some more...
I'm thinking of some time off; (Time off...)
I'm dreaming of a time when you knew me...

So maybe then we're better off;
Well, maybe if it's all you wanted,
Leave me alone...
Leave me alone...

So maybe then we're better off; (Better off...)
Well, maybe if it's all you wanted,
Leave me alone...
Leave me alone...

Some things never seem to fucking work...

So tell me, if this real love or some kind of mistake that we made together that we couldn't anticipate and my attraction to you made all the much worse the desire for something maybe, along with a hatred of myself. Not wanting to end up alone. So that night I saw you. I could pretend I thought you were beautiful, and that's all I ever really saw. But the truth is as much I hate it, you were a bore. So I try and deny it, although I try to fight it, as I bought your ride home on the 95 bus. Never thought down the line that us would eventually become an us. So to the others, looking from the outside in, so now I'm clawing out for a way to give myself in. Remember when you kissed me when I was seventeen. I thought to myself that you were the shit, that you loved me.

So maybe then we're better off;
Well, maybe if it's all you wanted,
Leave me alone...
Leave me alone...

So maybe then we're better off; (Better off...)
Well, maybe if it's all you wanted,
Leave me alone...
Leave me alone...

Some things never seem to fucking work...
