The Human Stone
KDA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Same old story, back again
She's not a lover, she's just a friend
I'm sick and tired for you to blame it on me
And now you think it's funny (funny)
Now you wanna spend your money on girls
But you forgot when you were down
That I was around
Call my lover, hang up, call again
What in the world is happenin'?
Listen in, but don't yell at me
Isn't it ironic all you wanna do is smoke chronic?
Boy, you forgot when you were down
Who was around

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waitin' for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore (anymore)

Ooh
Memories don't live like people do
I'm sick for ever believin' you
Wish you'd bring back the man I knew
He was good to me, oh, Lord
Every time you say you're comin' (comin')
Boy, you disappoint me, honey (honey)
How you forgot when you were down
I was around (around, around, around)

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore (oh, no, no)
Waitin' for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore (anymore)
I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waitin' for love to walk
Waitin' for love to walk

(Ooh) one of these days, it's gonna happen to you
Missin' a love like I'm missin' you, babe, yeah, yeah (uh-uh)
One of these days, when your dreams come true
That's the one that's gonna do it to you




Oh-oh, no, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
