Lyrics

I was talking to my one black friend Realized she was gorgeous then I thought we'd be a perfect couple Too bad she's got a nice boyfriend We lived in the same apartment complex I kept meaning to tell her day after next I am sure he's cool and probably no trouble But I think I am better for you now, watch me flex Could you wrap your cocoa arms here I can't keep on waiting Am I gonna have to show you some tears? Pump up my heart to get respect We moved apart as people often do Off to the city when school was through I thought I'd see her much more often She's working as a lawyer up by NYU Grew up thirty minutes from each other In the southeast dirt and humid thunder I always thought we were quite the same Now she's tying the knot with a new white lover Could you turn your midnight eyes here I can't keep on waiting Am I gonna have to show you some tears? Pump up my heart to get respect Don't be hating (Hating) Hating on a boy who thinks you're the best Waiting on love just like the rest Wonder if I'll go to the wedding Destination in a summer setting Will I speak or hold my peace? Forever is the wrong direction to be heading Can I talk about our love in old age? Would we be widowed and out of place? Even if I'm in a rocking chair I'll drop my cane at our first embrace Don't be hating (Hating) Hating on a boy who thinks you're the best Waiting on love just like the rest (x7) Could you wrap your cocoa arms here I can't keep on waiting Am I gonna have to show you some tears? Pump up my heart to get respect Don't be hating (Hating) Hating on a boy who thinks you're the best Waiting on love just like the rest Don't be hating (Hating) Hating on a boy who thinks you're the best Waiting on love just like the rest (x3)
