2. You're Not The Man
You're not the man who gave me everything
I've ever wanted
You're not the man
Who stepped inside my life
And haunted every, every day
You're not the man
Who said he'd never leave
Couldn't breathe
And could not sleep without me
This was someone who you left behind
A long time ago
You're not the man
Who would bleed for me
But never shed a tear
You're not the one
Said he'd always be near
You're not the man
Who threw me a lifeline
And you're not the man
I am so proud to call mine
And you're not the one
Who said he'd never leave
The one who made me believe in me
That was someone who could do no wrong
But you lost him
You're not the man
Who would bleed for me
But never shed a tear
You're not the one
Who said he'd always, always, always be here
said he'd always always be near
But don't get me wrong
Although it seems sad
It's not all bad
You see
I'm not the little girl I use to be
You're not the man
Not the one
Who said he'd always, always, always be near
He was everything you see
He made me believe in me
Said he'd alway always always be here
5. Tar Baby
Granma came to see
Something she could not believe
How could her girl be
So naive
Tar baby, tar baby told
The secret she conceived
That big old smile of yours
Could turn the wind into a song
How could I have doubted
Honey it's with me you belong
Tar baby, tar baby
I love you so
Like a brand new blade
You cut into my life
Cut through two decades
Like a hot coal on ice
Tar baby, my tar baby
It maybe was meant to be
When I look at you
I can't believe my eyes
And with your magic
I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky
Tar baby, tar baby, tar baby
Came good out of grief
A golden thread inside of the web
That I got caught in
Oh, it's a lover's revenge, but out of the pain
Come the best things you see
You cut into my life
You cut into my life (baby baby baby baby don't you know that)
You cut into my life (I love you)
You cut into my life
La la la la la ooh
You can turn the wind into a song
La la la la la baby baby baby
It's with me you belong
6. Maureen
Maureen
It's hard to explain
I'm never going to see you again
And you'll never meet my new friends
Maureen, I miss you
I just can't explain
I'm never going to see you again
I wish you could meet my new friends
Walking along the subway listening to
Loving you is easy acapella
You were a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town
And I miss you, Maureen
We're as thick as thieves
Maureen maureen
Remember when my mother said to me
Sade don't you come home to late
Till you're back I stay awake
And maureen
With the boys you could tell at a glance
You'd say he looks good
Let'd hope he can dance
Wicky wacky party to the..
Where are we going tonight
And what will you be wearing
Shone like a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town
And I miss you maureen, I miss you girl
You were my best friend
I'm never going to see you again, maureen
And you'll never meet my new friends
You really were a pearl in my world, maureen
Maureen
It's hard to explain
You'll never call round to see me again
You'll never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
