Lyrics Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams

The Incident

Lovely summer day

Humbled you'd come 'round this way

And I know what the people say

But I don't mind

(Cuz) I know it's straight insane

Like Superman and Lois Lane, no

Parker and Coltrane

On a 12-bar ride

Still you offer me this day

Tearfully I hesitate

Knowing I can't repay

with a million lives

But humbly I take your name

And I know that everything has changed

And tryin' hard to expalin

No words I find

Still I wanna say I love you

(I wanna tell you

I'd tell You but I can't explain it

I can't explain it 'cause

I don't even know why)

I wanna say I needed you

(I guess You know this

I guess you knew everything about me

Long before the Incident At The Well)

Well it's been a few years now

And still sometimes when I'm in a crowd

I'll hear some fold whisperin' loud

As they pass me by

"Remember that Girl Michelle (huh?)

you know that chick from the well..."

And as I pick up my pail

I can't help but smile

Cause they don't know the half of it

Hey they don't know how deep it is

Hey they don't know what you did

How you took my broken heart ad put

it back again

(If they only knew...)
