lyrics

Livin livin livin livin livin
In The Downside
A room for my weathered heart and me
The path only I could travel
So you see I must be committed to it
And I wish y’all wouldn’t call me goddess
And steal my sweet Sistas by the gun
And I wish y’all’d stop calling me queen
And start treating me like one

Cause I’m living on the downside
Keep playing with life and you gon see
I’m just living on the downside
Keep paying the price for being me

The rent is too high to fathom
So I find myself on the 6th floor
I used to believe in Love
But I don’t really think that way anymore
And I wish you wouldn’t call me baby
As if the world can’t see I’m not the one
(the one for you not the one for you)
And I wish you wouldn’t call me green
And every day you leave me so blue

I’m just living on the downside
Keep throwing my heart into you and me yea
I’m just living on the downside
Keep playing with Love and you gon see

I’m livin livin livin livin livin
On the downside
Keep paying the price for being me
I’m living living living living living living living livin
On the downside
Keep playing with life and you gon see

(WYA)

Oh Oh Oh
