She Got To You - Esperanza Spalding

If I had a penny for every time I caught you

Undressing me with your eyes

I’d be a rich one and then I could prove all my senses were real all along

You wanted me too

Though now you laugh and call me a fool

I know you wanted me too

Before she got to you

If I could remember all the things you

Used to say when we were left alone

I’d have a book of sonnets so inspired

All the muses would cringe at your denial

At how you wanted me too

Though now you laugh and call me a fool

I know you wanted me too

Before she got to you

Before she got to you

I would say that we were something special to behold

But now it’s over, all over

Before she came barging through

We were prime to make the kind of love

As scarce as four leaf clover

Now, I’m a bit confused

Cos what I felt I thought was true…

Did she barge in and steal your heart away?

Or did you know from the first day

I was just someone to play?

If so, damn that’s cold

Before she got to you

I would say that we were something special to behold

But now it’s over, all over

Before she came barging through

We were prime to make the kind of love

As scarce as four leaf clover

If I could understand what you have found in her

More than you could have had with me

I’d finally understand a mind

As twisted as yours must be for you to go

Just when you wanted me too

Though now you laugh and call me a fool

I know you wanted me too

What kind of spell has she put on you?

I know you wanted me too

Before she got to you
