She Got To You

If I had a penny For every time I caught you Undressing me with your eyes I'd 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 I'd 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 it's over, all over before she came barging through We were prime To make the kind of love As scarce as four leaf clover Now, I'm 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 that's cold Before she got to you I would say That we were something special To behold But now it's 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 I'd 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 --- She Got to You - Esperanza Spalding
