    Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, listening for cars, engines, horns, noticing every sound hoping it's him..........but it's not. Never ever want to experience a foolish love like that again!!! Yes, Sweetcherry4282, I have served my time and I'm soooo glad it's over!!!

    As a man, Jill has helped me understand my actions as a young boy/man and how they affect the women in my past. She does a great job at illustrating and explaining the hurt. This is one of those songs that makes a brotha who has matured go back and say "I'm sorry..." and truly mean it. Love Jill!

    "After being chased. I've been dismissed as just an object. Something to play with. "
    DAMN! One of the worst feelings is not knowing how he feels after he made it clear in the beginning that he wanted you... making you open your heart... wide... to let him in. Then he decides for some reason... not a good reason... that he's done. Oooh weee. I love Jill.

    It's after 5am and I just wanted to hear this song. Thankfully, it's not because of a broken heart (this time) I just can't sleep but this album is by far, one of my favorites by Jill. This song has actually come full circle for me. It use to remind me of my failed marriage but now it makes me grateful that I now have a wonderful husband...never settle for a man who doesn't have your back ladies, if your patient, he will find you.

    @VLM123 16 років тому +2

    This is also my very favorite song. I can listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I don't know why I love it so much...perhaps it's because I and so many others can relate to her pain in a very real way as it's happened to us.

    I watched For Colored Girls tonight. Wow!!!!! I laughed! I cried!! I got mad! I got Happy!! I wanted to turn it off at times, but I didn’t!! It was an emotional roller coaster!!! But one of the best Movies I had ever seen. Once it was over I started looking up the soundtrack and have been
    listening to it for a couple of hours!, Such an amazing movie !!!! AGAIN *** WOW***

    WOW WOW Jill is healing some not so completely closed wounds of mine with this song! Just called off an engagement because I was going thru this so much. She is doing wonders on my mind and soul right now. *** finally exhales*** Shocking how you can look in the mirror one day oblivious to how u turned from a woman of strength and substance to a crazy woman full of rage and hurt. I will never be her again!

    Jill Scott just expresses raw emotions on her songs. Especially on this CD. She was going through sooo much.. Based on the lastes CD "Light of the Sun" She is in a much healthier emotional space. I am trying to get back good emotional space. I am so tired of being emotionally tired.

    came across Jill Scott while listening to music on UA-cam and by someone
    posting a comment on the best women singers, of course her name was mentioned. I'm so glad I found her. Nuff Respect Jill...

    @costcordero2 the key word was some point in their life. I've experienced this situation and I did what I needed to do to move beyond becoming a bitter person and closed toward love. I wish we lived in a world of fairy tales and everyone has a happy ending but sometimes when someone has lived this kind of betrayal they don't move on and become like a poison and effect those around them.

    It is 4 a.m.
    I'm waiting in our bed alone,
    Dreaming of your embrace
    Wishing you would come back home
    But you don't call,
    And you don't come,
    And you don't say,
    That you miss me
    And you don't stop
    To say hi
    On your way by
    I'm feeling crazy
    It is 5 a.m.
    And I'm waiting by the phone again
    This is not how it's 'sposed to be
    You're 'sposed to be here with me
    But you're go'n now
    You're just go'n now
    You don't even think about the way I feel
    You're just go'n now
    You're just go'n now
    When I know you should be right here
    It's 6 o'clock in the morning
    And I'm so tired of yawning
    I am miserable and feeling blue
    Cause all I really want is you
    But you don't call,
    And you don't come,
    And you don't say,
    That you miss me
    And you don't stop
    To say hi
    On your way by
    I'm feeling crazy
    It's 7 o'clock in the a.m.
    In 15 minutes this alarm will be ringing
    At work,no one will feel my pain
    It's a shame the way this whole thing changed
    But you're go'n now
    You're just go'n now
    You don't think about the way I feel
    You're just go'n now
    You're just go'n now
    When you know that you should be right here
    But you don't call,
    And you don't come,
    And you don't say,
    That you miss me
    No,no,no,no
    And you don't stop
    To say hi
    On your way by
    This is crazy
    Brrring...
    Time to wake up,
    And put on my strong face
    And hope that no one will know
