She Got To You

She Got to You - Esperanza Spalding

If I had a penny
For every time I caught you
Undressing me with your eyes

Id 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

Id 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 its over all over

Before she came barging through
We were prime
To make the kind of love

As scarce as four leaf clover

Now Im a bit confused

Cause 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 thats cold

Before she got to you

I would say
That we were something special to behold
But now its 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

Id 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

Before she got to you
