| You are like a box
|
| Full of everything we’re not
|
| I’m tired of putting my stuff inside
|
| Trust, my love, my hair, my shoes
|
| You are like a square
|
| Full of the words that’s in the air
|
| I’ve got a mouth full of questions, baby
|
| You’ve got a box empty with my answers
|
| Maybe we can go to the store
|
| And buy your ass a clue
|
| I heard they’ve got some honesty on sale (maybe we can buy him two)
|
| I heard your momma sewed your buttons on till you were twenty-two
|
| And your sister washed your laundry (I think it’s time I did laundry, too)
|
| Beans, meats, greens, peas, milk, fruit, eggs, you
|
| You, you, eggs, you, you, you, you
|
| You are like a loop (what?)
|
| You are like a loop (what?)
|
| You are like ah'. |
| you are like ah'
|
| You are like a loop
|
| You are like a loop
|
| I feel like I’m going 'round and 'round with you
|
| I feel like the O’s inside my soup
|
| And don’t nobody get full off of eating no soup
|
| I’ve got a mouth full of questions, baby
|
| You’ve got a box empty with my answers
|
| Beans, meats, greens, peas, milk, fruit, eggs, you
|
| You, you, eggs, you, you, you, you
|
| Maybe we can go to the mall
|
| Skate, skate down the hall and cruise
|
| Or do you need permission from your momma
|
| I think I need permission, too
|
| You are like a shoe
|
| Keeping me from doin' what I gotta' to do
|
| You’re cheap and tearing at the base
|
| Ain’t worth for all the time that you had to make
|
| I’ve got a mouth full of questions, baby
|
| You’ve got a box empty with my answers
|
| Beans, meats, greens, peas, milk, fruit, eggs, you
|
| You, you, eggs, you, you, you, you
|
| Maybe we can go to the store
|
| Hop, hop on the month of June
|
| Or maybe we can go to a movie
|
| Matinee in a Jacuzzi
|
| I promise I’ll have you home real soon
|
| Is there a curfew for your class?
|
| A harpist for your past?
|
| You’re expecting me to choose
|
| Miles away from momma’s place
|
| And I can’t be a brothers soup (I'm Campbell’s, baby!)
|
| Cause ain’t nobody going to love you like me
|
| What you’re blind boy, can’t you see?
|
| I would have been your meats, your beans
|
| Would have been your greens, your peas
|
| Would have been your apple seeds
|
| Would have been your greens and peas
|
| Apple vines and leaves
|
| Anything you need me to be
|
| I will be for you
|
| And baby it’s true

| Beans, meats, greens, peas, milk, fruit, eggs, you
|
| You, you, eggs, you, you, you, you, you
|
| Beans, meats, greens, peas, milk, fruit, eggs
|
| You, you, you, you |
