Talk To Her - India.Arie
When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to
talk to you mama
Don't get smart
with her have a heart to heart
with her
Just like you would with your
daughter
Cause everything you do or say
You gotta live with it everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sista
She's somebody's mama
Now when you got to her speak
truthfully
Be honest as you can be
from your heart
You're in a situation
where ya losing patience
Take some time
and look her in the eye
When you just can't
find the words you want
And it's hard to reach the point
Where you both can understand
Don't just tell the truth
Tell the whole truth
It'll make a better man outta you
When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to
talk to your mama
Don't get smart
with her have a heart to heart
With her
just like you would with your
daughter
Cause everything you do or say
You gotta live with it everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sista
She's somebody's mama
It doesn't matter if she's wearin
A mini skirt or a business suit
Whether she's 25 or 99
Treat her the way your mama
taught you to
She could be the Queen of Sheba
She could be a school teacher
Home maker or a lawyer
I think it's good for your Karma
When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to
talk to your mama
Don't get smart
with her have a heart to heart
With her
just like you would with your
daughter
Cause everything you do or say
You gotta live with it everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sista
She's somebody's mama
Now let's keep it real
Nothing in this world could ever exist
Without it's opposite
There has to be a sun and moon
A man and a woman
And that's just the way it is
Humanity's lop sided
And everyone's fightin
How do we restore the peace
Mother earth is hurtin
Cause everyone is searchin
For the feminine energy
When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody else to
talk to your mama
Don't get smart
with her have a heart to heart
With her just
like you would with your daughter
Cause everything you do or say
You gotta live with it everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sista
She's somebody's mama
When you talk to her talk to her
Like you want somebody to
talk to your mama
Just like you fight for your sister
If you knew that somebody dissed her
How you gonna care for your daughter
Turn around and talk
bad about her mama
Same way you listen to your auntie
Never interupt while she speaks
Make your words sweet like candy
As if you were
talking to your granny yeah
If you really loved then
If you really needed then
Love the way she thinks
You love the way she speaks
When you need some good conversation
Say so
If you want her in your life
You want her to be your wife
Tell her she's your best friend
You'll be there to the end
If you're thinking about leaving
If you wonder where she's going
If you need to breathe with her
You just want to be with her
If you love her hair
If you wanted her
Tell me if you really wanted her
You wanna slap her down
Say so
