with others (ears)

Singer:esperanza spalding

you can have my love

as long as i can tell you what to do

if you know what i need

you'll use it against me

yes it's sad enough

there just ain't enough love in the world

if you want some from me

i'll need some context

i've been learning about

psychology

sociology

and the rest

now i can't rest

'cause everyone reeks of power trips

where do i fit in your power trip?

let's see if your analysis favours me

i mean otherwise why would i listen. to others

also

protecting

their baby

some

in need of

undoing

and real

love

from someone who lets me see they need mine

without the pre-condition they be like me

like we

don't all

just need

love

okay

so you're really just gonna say it straight out like that?

that we all need love

the promise of

the knowledge of

the promise of

the knowledge of

the soothing arms

well it's chemical

really group survival in the wild

is the history of instinctual nurture

so the feeling of needing to be loved is nothing more

than our primitive brains responding to stress

i've been learning about

psychology

neurobiology

and the rest

now i can't rest

'cause everything reeks of basic needs

how do i get all my basic needs met?

what?

d- do i really have to just- come out and say it?

just straight up? that i do need

love

the promise of

love

love

the knowledge of

of love

love

the soothing arms

love

love

the promise of

of love

love

the knowledge of

love

love

the soothing arms

of love

love

love

love

love
