BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

"What effect did the depression
Have on your marriage?"
"Well, it gave everybody
A wonderful new label, 'Diana's
Unstable and Diana's mentally imbalanced'
And unfortunately
That seems to have stuck on over the years"
"Are you saying that label
Stuck within your marriage?"
"I think people used it and it stuck"
"According to press reports
It was suggested that it
Was around this time things
Became so difficult
That you actually tried to injure yourself
Is that true?" "Mhm
When no one's listening to you, or you
Feel like no one's listening to you
All sorts of things start to happen
For instance, you have so
Much pain inside yourself, that you try
And hurt yourself on the outside
Because you want help
But it's the wrong help you're asking for
People see it as crying
Wolf or attention seeking
And they think because you're
In the media all the time, you've
Got enough attention, inverted commas
But I was actually crying because
I wanted to get better"

Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me now, give it to me now
Give it to me now, now
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me now, give it to me now, now
Now
Give it to me now, give it to me now, now
Now give it to me now, give it to me now

Give it to me now, now, now
II need it, II, need it, need it
II need it, II, need it, need it
II need it, II, need it, need it
II need it, II, need it, need it

Sometimes I be mad that I ain't sexy
Sometimes I be shy to show my blessings
Poppin' like a carbonated beverage
The cops poppin' niggas Orville Redenbacher
Ian, you sexy!

Most times I give friends
More time than family
You remember when I used to feel
Like I don't understand me
Now we speakin' the same language
I don't listen like I can be
But I'm learnin' but I'm learnin'
But I'm learnin'

Sometimes I feel like I'm way too sexy
Most the singers found me in the desert
Minimi-, minimi- handle my business
Don't talk to me directly
No one above me actin' like
They all so lovely recogni-, Recogni-
They try to pin me down, they try to bind me
And they try to kill me like Anna Nicole
Heels switchin', finger clicking
Kick on me like I'm James Bond on a role
They want the boot of my car
Pussy boy like booty call
Money quick like auctioneer
You need a neutral career
Look what we did in a year yeah! yeah!

Oh, I'm lonesome, and hopeless
But hopeful, but hopeful
What's a boy to do lost in the
World trying to find a balance
Sippin' out his chalice with
It's jewels dancing fluid like the potion
That pours when I get down some
Just trying to find a port in the sky where
The sun can shine down some
Jesus is lord, I put that on god
What more do you want from me?
He's in the dark, he's just a child
They turned their backs on me
Nevermind what it was i see enemies
Don't want what's best for me best believe

I'm lonesome but hopeful, But hopeful
I'm lonesome but hopeful, But hopeful

'Times, it be so spot on it hurts
Like when auntie couldn't decide between
Going to work or church
I been in my feelings on
That island in the dirt
I feel like brothers lie just so
My feelings don't get hurt
I said I tried vacation, I tried to run away
I deleted Facebook, I'd trade fame any day
For a quiet texas place, and a BBQ plate
I'll switch my place if that's good for ya

Is that good for ya? Good for ya
Is that good for ya? Good for ya
Is that good for ya?

Give it to me, Give it to me
Give it to me now, Give it to me now
Give it to me now, now
Give it to me now, Give it to me now, now
Now

Over eighteen with the windows fogged
Her brown skin with our fingers locked
Feel the air like it's sunny out
But I don't want you to go girl
Cause I'm tired of the waiting
Tired of waiting (ay, ay, yeah)
Tired of waiting, but you gotta be free
