You're The One That I Like - Raphael Saadiq

When you called my mother’s house

I was wondering what this was about

I was so glad to hear from you

What I’m hearing, I hope it’s not true

And I remember you got your degree

Congratulations, you made history

And you were as fine as can be

How did you become a victim of the streets?

It’s so hard for me (It's so hard for me)

Tryin' to visit ya, baby (Tryin' to visit ya, baby)

Girl, it’s makin' me crazy (Girl, it’s makin' me crazy)

You’re the one that I like

It’s so hard for me (It's so hard for me)

Just to look at ya, baby (Tryin' to see ya, baby)

God gone make it better

When I pulled up to your house

Expecting to see a movie star

Girl, you ran out to my ride

You know, this really hurts me inside

What has this poison done to you?

Has it dealt a bad hand to you?

You know, I started to get sideways

I couldn’t manage to drive away

But I can’t believe my eyes

How much you’ve gone down in size

Whatcha done did to yourself?

The state took the kids

And the man’s in jail

And all of this is killing me

I wanna help you on your feet

But this is not a job for me

You need to find yourself on your knees (hey… hey)

You’re the one that I like (You're the one that I like)

It’s so hard for me (It's so hard for me)

Tryin' to visit ya, baby (Tryin' to visit ya, baby)

Girl, it’s makin' me crazy (Girl, it’s makin' me crazy)

You’re the one that I like

It’s so hard for me (It's so hard for me)

Just to look at ya, baby (Tryin' to see ya, baby)

God gone make it better

You’re the one that I like

It’s so hard for me

Just to look at ya, baby

Girl, it’s makin' me crazy

You’re the one that I like

It’s so hard for me

It’s so hard for me, baby

You’re the one that I like

It’s so hard for me

Please… please

Find yourself on your knees
