The assignment
|
the assignment okay
|
Not too loud now not too loud
|
The song
|
is called the assignment
|
Talks about the lover's gap
|
Tha gap between lovers
|
Especially in marriage
|
and other forms
|
Bouncing off your wall
|
Tha pathways of my mind
|
Are on their way
|
Another way for today
|
<Interlude>
|
You want me to see you
|
Baby I cannot see you
|
You want me to come for you
|
I cannot come for you
|
Cos you wany an assignment
|
I see no concession
|
Sall I hang my head
|
with yours and be blue
|
Send alway laughter and fun
|
Spend all my time thinking
|
about you
|
Don't you know there are things
|
I can't do for you
|
My mind is on its way
|
Another way for today
|
<Interlude>
|
My spirit is so foreign
|
You want silence
|
My spirit id taking flight now
|
But baby you're in a mood
|
And you wanna cry tonight now
|
Shall I hang my head
|
with yours and be blue
|
That's what you want me to do
|
Send away laughter and fun
|
Spend my time crying
|
Trying to please you
|
Oh don't you know
|
There are things
|
I can't do for you
|
My mind is on its way
|
Another way now for today
|
