Lyrics Raphael Saadiq

Raphael Saadiq

Sometimes

Let me tell you about my day, it's such a very long day

It started around seven and I can hear her pray

That is why I love Sunday mornings even when it was cold

There was always something burning that was good for my soul

As I walk through the yard I could feel your presence

Giving me the time of my life and showering me with life's lessons

Now I know what they mean when they say keep your head to sky

And don't be to quick to fit in and don't feel you have to try

This road is strange, so strange it is

You know it really hurts inside yeah, sometimes

No matter how good you are to people you know

They'll make you cry sometimes, sometimes

I am so proud people see the young man I came to be

With lifelong struggles you kept a smile on my face

And as I am looking all around me I say how can I ever repay you?

Mama was worth more than gold and she always tried to tell me

This road is strange, so strange, strange my dear

You know it really hurts inside yeah, sometimes

And no matter how good you are to people you know

They'll make you cry sometimes yeah, sometimes

There's have been a few days when people truly let me down

And said crucial things just to bring me down

And they will rob beg and cheat just for the own self-motives and greed

But I guess it ain't nothing new just something I gotta go through

This road is strange, so strange it is

You know it really hurts sometimes yeah, sometimes

No matter how good you are to people you know

They'll make you cry sometimes yeah, sometimes

Now how much more can I take before I shot to kill

Don't let them mess with your heart

'Cause what you feel is very real, yeah, yeah

You know it makes me cry sometimes baby, sometimes

Yes it does

Out of all the days and all the stories you taught me about

You know it still hurts inside yeah, sometimes, sometimes

I go through life with my hands in the air saying oh Lord help me there

Oh, it hurts sometimes baby, sometimes, sometimes

Nobody can tell me better than you about these things I will go through

Oh, it hurt sometimes baby, sometimes, sometimes

I say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sometimes
