about
America's reply to a love letter from Rock & Roll
lyrics
Babe, why do you want to do me this way?
I heard about the things that you say
You question my behavior
Suggest that you're my savior
At best, a role I gave you to play
And I ain't seen you forever
And the thrill is gone, but still you want to say
That we should get back together
I ain't saying "no" but I ain't saying "okay"
Baby, baby, after you treat me so bad
Baby, baby, but now you see what you had
CHORUS:
And whoever may come, no one's better than me
Don't you forget where you're from, don't forget you were free
But if you ever become what you set out to be
Then you will see, I'll be saying "when"
And now it's true, what the hell was I gonna do?
By myself again, and I knew
I had to choose another
Yeah, I used to love H.E.R.
But damn, I can't recover from you
Baby, baby, I didn't want you to go
Baby, baby, now I just want you to know
CHORUS:
That whoever may come, no one's better than me
Don't you forget where you're from, don't forget you were free
But if you ever become what you set out to be
Then you will see, I'll be saying "when"
