Day 18: National Poetry Month: Poetry in Motion: Erykah Badu "Out My Mind, Just In Time"

I don't know about you, but this week has been a hell of a week, with extreme highs and lows. Just thinking about what I have done this week makes me exhausted!

But, I want to continue to share poetry with your as April marches to an end.

Today, I am sharing a song by the lovely Ms. Erykah Badu. To me, all of her music is poetry in motion.

Enjoy "Out My Mind, Just in Time"

Peace,

-T. Amour

**I have posted part of the lyrics




I'm a recovering undercover over-lover
recovering from a love I can't get over
recovering undercover over-lover
and now my common law lover thinks he wants another

And I'd lie for you
I'd cry for you
and pop for you
and break for you
and hate for you
And I'll hate you too
If you want me too
Ah, Uuu...
I'd pray for you crochet for you
Make it from scratch for you
Leave out the last for you
Go to the store for you
Do it some more for you
Do what you want me to
Yes I'm a fool for you...

I'm a recovering undercover over-lover
recovering from a love I can't get over
recovering undercover over-lover
And now my common law lover thinks he wants another

And I'd lie for you
and cry for you
and pop for you
and break for you
and hate for you
and I'll hate you too
If you want me too
I gotta do my love for you
chopped and screwed for you
Pay the rent for you
It's true it's true
Poor Badu
Thought I was through with you
Guess I'm a fool for you...
