How Many Hours
Angela Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind

Lordy Ms Clawdy
Somebody tell me why I feel
That things ain't right
Even though what we have is real
I am strong
I create
I put veggies on yo plate
I make love to your soul
We can do this everyday
But it seems like
You ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind

How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind

Been down for so long
Boy I'm trynna tell you how I feel
I got hustle on my mind
But I need to know the deal
You're the light of my life
You're my star
I'm your wife
Let's keep it strong
Let's get it right
Let's keep going
Keep it tight
But it seems like
You ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind

How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for




Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
