U Can't Sing Our

Michael Franti & Spearhead


Do you remember all those days 
the way that you loved me in all those subtle ways 
I can remember before you were gone 
how when we heard our favorite song 
on the radio you'd smile at me and sing along 

(Chorus) 
but you can't sing our song for no other lover 
but you can't sing our song for no other love 

You and me would go dancin' after dark 
long hot kisses and summer wishes in the park 
New York detail the car 
I never show up dirty on colored 
people's time I'd pick you up 11:30 late night 
we'd roll my hooptie down the boulevard 
bumpin' bass and rolling low like we was superstars 
killing me softly with the way you whisper in my ear 
come here my dear 
they're playing songs from back in yesteryear 
the slow Jammer the night programmer 
the time to get undressed and where pajama slammer the car antenna... 
picks up songs that belongs to us like birds of feather 
like heatwave on scratchy forty five always forever 

(Chorus) 

I was blind to blind to see I took 
for granted the dope shit that you did for me I mistook 
all your lovin' for captivity 
like Ghetto boys I think my mind was playing tricks on me 
I always wanted to let you know like Aretha Franklin 
you sing just like the queen of soul 
too many secrets in my heart I couldn't let it show 
know I still want you and I'm sad 
we had to let it go... 

(Chorus)
