Feel

There have been times when I have thought about you

But speaking honestly, your interest in me just don't seem cool

You've got to understand it's been all of my years

So to hear from you now, well it ain't no souvenir

So tell me, tell me what you want

'Cause you got nothing that I need

But I, I put these words together

'Cause I'd like you to read

I don't feel what you'd like me to feel

And I don't want or even need to talk to you

I don't feel anything that you feel

I'm that little girl who waited all day

For that first man in my life to come and play

Oh, come and play

Now picture a little girl, she ain't no more than five

She's talking to her daddy for the first time

The first time in her life

He says, "Come Christmas Day, you gon' get a big surprise

I promise I will be there when you open up your eyes"

So tell me, tell me what you want

And tell me why you didn't show

Well I, I put these words together

'Cause I'd like you to know

I don't feel what you'd like me to feel

And I don't want or even need to talk to you

I don't feel anything that you feel

I'm that little girl who waited all day

For that first man in my life to come and play

Oh

There might have been a time

When you really could have got to know me

The distance between your first child and all her dreams

Oh, think of all the times

When you had every given chance to know me

Then you might have seen a different version of me

So I don't feel what you'd like me to feel

And I don't want or even need to talk to you

I don't feel anything that you feel

I'm that little girl who waited all day

For that first man in my life to come and play

Oh, come and play

Oh

'Cause I'm that little girl who waited all day

For that first man in my life to come and play
