Legal issues over the name Aurra made Curt and Starleana change their name to Deja and with this name they only managed to reach number 75 with the Monte Moir penned single Serious. Starleana Young left the group to go solo, and was replaced by Mysti Day.
Nasty Disposition
Aurra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's happening to you, girl
Baby, you don't take the time
To understand my needs
No, baby, no
It's your attitude it hasn't been the same,
Not like before
(Why d'you do the things you do, tell me, tell me)
You changed so I can't believe its true
Your attitude has got to change it's up to you
When you make it - your decision
Don't contradict your mission into vision
Because baby
It brings me down, down, down
Keeps bringin' me down, down, down
You're always brings me down, down, down
It brings me down, down, down
Keeps bringin' me down, down, down
You're always brings me down, down, down
It brings me down, down, down
A nasty, a nasty disposition
You've got a
A nasty, a nasty disposition
I just don't understand
I always thought I showed enough dedication
You always used to show me how you care
Without hesitation, yeah, yeah,
Now is the possibility that I'm a cause
Of your restriction, oh yeah
(Why d'you do the things you do, tell me, tell me)
Time has come for you to decide what do
I know what I'm wanting, baby, that's you, yeah
I'm running out of patience can't you see
Indecisiveness it always confuses me
You changed so I can't believe its true
Your attitude has got to change it's up to you
When you make it - your decision
Don't contradict your mission into vision
Because
It brings me down, down, down
Keeps bringin' me down, down, down
You're always brings me down, down, down
It brings me down, down, down
Keeps bringin' me down, down, down
You're always brings me down, down, down
It brings me down, down, down
A nasty, a nasty disposition
You've got a
A nasty, a nasty disposition
So baby, full security is all I want to offer you
But the way you take advantage of my kindness
Sugar, you should know that's not the thing to do, no
Now it's your attitude it hasn't been the same,
Not like before
(Why d'you do the things you do, tell me, tell me)
Time has come for you to decide what to do
I know what I'm wantin', baby, that's you are, yeah
I'm running out of patience can't you see
Indecisiveness it always confuses me
You changed so I can't believe it's true
A nasty disposition has overtaken you
So... oh baby, won't you change, hey?
Yeah, you gotta change, baby
Change attitude change your ways
(J. Ivory, P. Fields, S. Young)
