Sometimes Lyrics by Raphael Saadiq

The Way I See It (European Edition)

2008

Let me tell you about my day, it's such a very long day
It started around seven and I can hear her pray
That is why I love Sunday mornings even when it was cold
There was always something burning that was good for my soul

As I walk through the yard I could feel your presence
Giving me the time of my life and showering me with life's lessons
Now I know what they mean when they say keep your head to sky
And don't be to quick to fit in and don't feel you have to try

This road is strange, so strange it is
You know it really hurts inside yeah, sometimes
No matter how good you are to people you know
They'll make you cry sometimes, sometimes

I am so proud people see the young man I came to be
With lifelong struggles you kept a smile on my face
And as I am looking all around me I say how can I ever repay you?
Mama was worth more than gold and she always tried to tell me

This road is strange, so strange, so strange my dear
You know it really hurts inside yeah, sometimes
And no matter how good you are to people you know
They'll make you cry sometimes yeah, sometimes

There's have been a few days when people truly let me down
And said crucial things just to bring me down
And they will rob beg and cheat just for the own self-motives and greed
But I guess it ain't nothing new just something I gotta go through

This road is strange, so strange it is
You know it makes me hurt sometimes yeah, sometimes
No matter how good you are to people you know
They'll make you cry sometimes yeah, sometimes

Now how much more can I take before I shot to kill
Don't let them mess with your heart
Cause what you feel is very real, yeah, yeah

You know it makes me cry sometimes baby, sometimes
Yes it does
Out of all the days and all the stories you taught me about
You know it still hurts inside yeah, sometimes, sometimes

I go through life with my hands in the air saying oh Lord help me there
Oh, it hurts sometimes baby, sometimes, sometimes
Nobody can tell me better than you about these things I will go through
Oh, it hurt sometimes baby, sometimes, sometimes

I say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sometimes
