(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)

(Ho!) I've been trying to do it right
(Hey!) I've been living a lonely life
(Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead
(Hey!) I've been sleeping in my bed,
(Ho!) I've been sleeping in my bed
(Hey!)

(Ho!)

(Ho!) So show me family
(Hey!) All the blood that I will bleed
(Ho!) I don't know where I belong
(Hey!) I don't know where I went wrong
(Ho!) But I can write a song
(Hey!)

I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet
(Ho!)

(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)

(Ho!) I don't think you're right for him
(Hey!) Think of what it might have been if you
(Ho!) Took a bus to China Town
(Hey!) I'd be standing on Canal
(Ho!) And Bowery
(Hey!)
(Ho!) And she'd be standing next to me
(Hey!)

I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart

Love we need it now
Let's hope for some
Cause oh, we're bleeding out

I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet
(Ho!)

(Hey!)
(Ho!)




(The last one)
(Hey!)

@justamookie7o4fan46

my older brother was in jail and he called
one day to ask me to play a song and he
requested this one,we sat in silence while I
put my speaker full blast and listened,after
he said it's a pretty dope song right and I
agreed , In 2019 he committed suicide and as
I sat in my room crying when I got the news I
remembered when he asked me to play this
for him, in my grief this song brought a bit
closer to my brother and after 2 years I still
come back to listen to this , RIP Shane

@poppinmelanin1635

i loved these songs 😭 but i stopped listening when my cousin said i liked & i quote “white people” music . so i stopped cause i always felt like the odd one out . 😭 i literally use to sleep with the radio on & i use to wake up whenever one of the songs came on just to dance and then i would lay back down & gts 💀

@mykaocampo4941

Poppin’ Melanin girl I wish you start listening to them again. They’re not just for “white people” they’re for everyone to hear ❤️
