Get Along with You Lyrics

Kelis

Dont need to paper
Dont need no pencil
Dont need no love letters
Cause I just wanna get along with you
No beeper
Dont need no cellular
No digitals better (listen)
I just wanna get along with you
Try me
Cause I agree
What makes you happy
But the part that I dont get is
Why me
You deny me
Now Im forced upon this planet
Sadly lonely nights Im used to gettin
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love
You took my heartbeat from me
Was it I loved you poorly
Whatever it was
I just wanna get along with you
Dont need no car
Dont need no truck
Dont need no vehicles
Cause I just wanna get along with you
No planes
Dont need no trains
Dont need to be passenger
Cause I just wanna get along with you
Try me
Cause I agree
What makes you happy
But the part that I dont get is
Why me
You deny me
Now Im forced upon this planet
Sadly lonely nights Im used to gettin
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love
You took my heartbeat from me
Was it I loved you poorly
Whatever it was
I just wanna get along with you
Dont need new clothes
Dont need this house
Dont need this land or skies
Cause I just wanna get along with you
These eyes
Dont need these thighs
As a matter of fact this damn life
Cause I just wanna get along with you
Try me
Cause I agree
What makes you happy
But the part that I dont get is
Why me
You deny me
Now Im forced upon this planet
Sadly lonely nights Im used to gettin
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love
You took my heartbeat from me
Was it I loved you poorly
Whatever it was
I just wanna get along with you
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love
Your took my heartbeat from me
Should have just stabbed it for me
From ashes to dust
I just wanna get along with you
Dear diary
I remember like it was yesterday
It was october 30th
I no longer have any need for these worldly things
I wanna go where he is
Ill follow the fire in the sky
And just like that Ill be gone
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love
Your took my heartbeat from me
Should have just stabbed it for me
From ashes to dust
I just wanna get along with you
