Bag Lady Lyrics by Erykah Badu

Mama’s Gun

2000

[Verse 1]
Bag lady, you gone hurt your back
Draggin' all them bags like that
I guess nobody ever told you
All you must hold onto
Is you, is you, is you
[Refrain]
One day, all them bags gon' get in your way
One day, all them bags gon' get in your way
I said one day, all them bags gon' get in your way
One day, all them bags gon' get in your way
So, pack light
Pack light, mhm
Pack light
Pack light
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Bag lady, you gon' miss your bus
You can't hurry up 'cause you got too much stuff
When they see you coming, niggas take off running
From you, it's true, oh, yes, they do
[Refrain]
One day, he gon' say, "You crowding my space"
One day, he gon' say, "You crowding my space"
I said one day, he gon' say, "You crowding my space"
One day, he gon' say, "You crowding my space"
So, pack light
Pack light, mhm
Pack light
Pack light
Ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh), ooh
[Bridge]
Girl, I know
Sometimes it's hard and we can't let go
Oh, when someone hurts you oh so bad inside
You can't deny it, you can't stop crying
So, oh, oh, oh
If you start breathin', yeah, you won't believe it, yeah
You'll feel so much better, so much better, baby
[Outro]
Bag lady
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, ooh, ooh, ooh
Girl, you don't need it
Betcha love can make it better
Betcha love can make it better, mmm, mmm
Betcha love can make it better
(Need someone to love you right)
Betcha love can make it better
(Betcha love, I betcha love, I bet)
Betcha love can make it better
(Babe, baby, betcha)
Betcha love can make it better
(Uh, ooh, ooh, ooh, I betcha)
Betcha love can make it better
(Hey, hey)
Betcha love can make it better
(I betcha love, betcha love)
Betcha love can make it better
(Betcha love, I betcha love, oh)
Betcha love can make it better
(Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Betcha love can make it better
(Mmm, yeah, I bet, yeah)
Betcha love can make it better
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
Betcha love can make it better
(Hey, hey)
Bag lady, mmm
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, ooh, ooh, mmm

Mmm-mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm
