Erykah Badu - Today Lyrics

Please oh please
wear blue and green
so flowers can bloom and birds can sing
today

and hang out with your friends
cool breeze and sun
and I'ma join y'all so we can all have fun
today

and blow me a kiss
and dry my clothes
while I run through these sheets like I'm 5 years old
today

You got that natural wood grain with the big ol' 'fro
your fresh 15's got me ridin' low
today

smile today (plant some seeds)
smile today (run with the breeze)
smile today
smile
today

See you got this new man
who treats you wrong
but I'ma do you good before you're used and gone
today

and if you feelin' kinda grey
I understand
emotions sway but I'm still your friend
today

You got bugs in your house
that you let run free
but if they don't bug you then they don't bug me
today

See, I respect you and you respect me back
so I'ma make sure I put my trash in the sack
today

smile today (run with the breeze, plant some seeds)
smile today.. (rap with the trees, learn the plus degrees)
(feel good today)

In orange and brown you look so young
so let's spend the night 'n tell purple to come
today

and I'ma sing you a song so play that track
with the crickets in the back that so abstract
today

and as I take a deep breath
I close my eyes
I say a little prayer for the sun to rise
today
(tomorrow)

and I see in the morning all bright and fresh
and I'll be the girl in the yellow dress
new day, new day

smile today
smile today
...
