Why Don't We Talk About It
Crowell Rodney Lyrics

Once I had a woman with a high hand
I used to be with a woman who had a lot of control and power over me.

And I let her treat me mighty low man
I allowed her to mistreat and disrespect me.

She made a lover of my best friend
She started a romantic relationship with my best friend.

And now he treats me like a has been
As a result, my best friend now treats me with disrespect and disregard.

Yes, I've had my trouble with the world around me
I've had difficulties dealing with the people and situations in my life.

No, I didn't give it my best
I didn't put my all into trying to overcome those difficulties.

Now I get a chance to see some better weather
But now, I have an opportunity to experience something more positive in my life.

If you want to stay forever
If you're interested in being in a long-term relationship with me.

Why don't we talk about it now
Let's discuss our future together and what we both want.

Yes my reputation says I'm flaky
People view me as unreliable and inconsistent.

Hey my whole situation's kinda shaky
My life and circumstances are uncertain and unstable.

Some people 'round here think I've lost it
Some people believe that I've gone crazy or become unstable.

They drew the line I stepped across it
I crossed the line of what was socially acceptable.

Yes, I've had my troubles in some certain circles
I've had difficulties in certain social groups or communities.

No, I didn't bring it on myself
It's not entirely my fault or doing that I've faced these troubles.

Now I get a chance to know they'll eat their words
But now, I have an opportunity to prove those people wrong.

And if you don't care what you've heard
If you don't believe or care about the negative things people are saying about me.

Why don't we talk about it now
Let's discuss whether or not you're willing to be with me despite what others are saying.

Sometimes I make it all up in my head
Sometimes I create situations in my mind that aren't based in reality.

There's a whole lot of things that should have never been said
I've said and done things that I regret and wish I could take back.

This new ground feels solid that I'm standing on
But now, I feel like I'm on more stable ground and am making better choices.

I have done some things that might amaze you
I've accomplished some impressive things that might surprise you.

But then again most things don't even phase you
But you're not easily impressed by those things.

You got a way of standing steadfast
You have a strong and unwavering personality.

I've got a way of running dead last
But I tend to be slower or less successful in my endeavors.

Yes, I've had my trouble trying to start over
I've encountered difficulties when attempting to make a fresh start.

No, I didn't give it all I could
I didn't give my all when trying to start over.

Now I get a chance to know what love can heal
But now, I have an opportunity to experience healing through love.

And if you want to know the feeling
If you're interested in experiencing that healing with me.

Why don't we talk about it now
Let's discuss the possibilities of growing together through love and healing.
