Everyday
Angie Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now I've had my bouts with love
Been going through things you never heard of
Breakin' up and gettin' back together
Faced with all kinds of stormy weather
There was a time I thought I'd lose my mind
But my friends and family warned me
Time after time after time

Tell me how you gonna get something
With all you gave up, was nothing
Every day, every day, every day baby
You twisted my mind

And tell me why is it that I'm buggin'
Now that I've got everything
Every day, every way you gonna pay, baby
For dissin' my love

Now baby it took a view
For me to get over you
I didn't think I could make it
But my faith in God said I could change this
Back in the day I wasn't good enough for you but
I would do anything to win you over
You took advantage of my attention
Oh, did I forget to mention
Every day you did the same thing
And every hour you'd switch up on me
And every minute I'd be forgiving
And every second we'd be reliving

Tell me how you gonna get something
All you gave up, was nothing
Every day, every day, every day baby
You twisted my heart
Tell me why is it that I'm buggin'
Now that I've got everything
Every day, every way you gonna pay, baby
For dissin' my love

Well, it was your attitude (was much too shrewd)
'cause you took me, now who's the fool
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
'cause I've had my bouts with love
Goin' through things you never heard of
Breakin' up, gettin' back together
Faced with all kinds of stormy weather
There was a time I thought I'd lose my mind




My friends and family warned me
Time after time after time

D’Angelo was on keys and background vocals 🔥 Their influence on each other made them a very powerful duo, this is perfect

They could have been the Ashford and Simpson of the 90's but the culture wouldn't allow it
