Mary J Blige - Whole Damn Year Lyrics
[Verse 1]Tryna find a way to explain thisWhy you can't touch me tonight?I can feel you're getting impatientBut I really can't let you insideBad, how deep the pain isOr you just couldn't believeAnd yes I'm good on the surfaceBut I'm a mess, I'm a mess underneathSee winter took most of my heartAnd Spring punched right in the stomachSummer came looking for bloodAnd by autumn, I was left with nothing[Chorus]It took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt took a whole damn yearIt took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt's been about five yearsGon' take a long long year for me to trust somebodyGon' take long long yearGon' take a long long year for me to touch somebodyIt's been about five years[Verse 2]Not tryna do this on purposeBoy I really wish I couldDon't act like you never heard thisI know you haven't misunderstoodWhere the others just wouldn't respect meDon't tell me you use wellI thought we were heading for HeavenBut you're about to take me back to HellSee winter took most of my heartAnd Spring punched right in the stomachSummer came looking for bloodAnd by autumn, I was left with nothing[Chorus]It took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt took a whole damn yearIt took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt's been about five yearsGon' take a long long year for me to trust somebodyGon' take long long yearGon' take a long long year for me to touch somebodyIt's been about five yearsIt took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt took a whole damn yearIt took a whole damn year to repair my bodyIt's been about five yearsGon' take a long long year for me to trust somebodyGon' take long long yearGon' take a long long year for me to touch somebodyIt's been about five years[Outro]Bad to the liver, bad to the bonesBad to the liver, bad to the bonesBad to the liver, bad to the bonesIt's been about five years
