India Arie - You Made A Fool Of Me Lyrics

You Made A Fool Of Me Lyrics - India Arie

(Verse 1}
I remember when you filled my heart with joy was I blind to the truth just there to fill the space 'cause now you have no interest in anything that I have to say. And I've allowed you to make me feel, I feel so dumb. What kind of fool am I? You so easily set me, aside.

{Chorus}
You made a fool of me
Tell me why
You say that you don't care but we made love
Tell me why

You made a fool of me
You made a fool of me

{Verse 2}
I want to kiss you. Does she want you with the pain that I do? Smell you in my dreams. But now when we're face to face, you won't look me in the eye. No time, no friendship, no love. You say don't touch you, I can't touch you no more. Can't touch you, anymore. Anymore...

{Chorus 2x}
You made a fool of me
Tell me why
You say that you don't care but we made love
Tell me why

You made a fool of me
You made a fool of me

Tell me why

India Arie - Yellow Lyrics

Yellow Lyrics - India Arie

Every time I hear you say hello
All I see is yellow
Like daisies in the meadow
And I just thought you should know

That every time you go away
My yellow turns to gray
What I'm trying to say is
It shouldn't be this way
And I need you to stay

Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow

I need you to stay
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow

When you're away from me
I get green with envy
Wondering where you could be
And this ain't how it should be

But you know I'm a Georgia peach
I need your sunshine on me
You know how I can't be
I get blue and lonely
And I need you to stay

Yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow

Stay
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow

Stay with me in the
Baby, stay with me in the
Baby, stay with me in the
Stay with me in the yellow

There are times you make me see red
And then you shine your white
I get all pink inside
You know you're the love of my life

Together me and you are purple
Because we are so wild
And whenever we are this close
I never want to let go
I need you to stay

Stay with me in the
Stay with me in the
Baby, stay with me in the
Baby, stay with me in the
Stay with me in the yellow

Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the

Stay with me in the yellow
Yellow, yellow
Stay, yellow, yellow, yellow

India Arie - Wings Of Forgiveness Lyrics

Wings Of Forgiveness Lyrics - India Arie

I just want you to know after everything that we've been through I just want you to know that I still love you
That I still love you

Had to go across the water
Just to find what was here in my heart all along
Spent so much time trying to be right
That I was dead wrong
If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors surely I can forgive you for your passion

You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment and fly high (and fly high)
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment and fly high on the wings of forgiveness

Had to run to the arms of curiosity
Just to find what was here in my life all along
I have found that the art of simplicity simply means making peace with your complexity
If Gandhi can forgive persecution surely you can forgive me for being so petty

I'm only human
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment and fly high (and fly high)
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment and fly high on the wings of forgiveness

I searched for romance, flowers, and affection
What I found is a lesson on what love really is
And how the game of love isn't
Bout how much you can take
But that authentic love is about how much you can give

After everything that we've been through I just want you to know that I still love you
Want you to know that I forgive you
(thank you for teaching me how to give)
Want to let you know how much you changed my life
Want to let you know you taught me how to fly
And I wrote this song to tell you this
I'm better 'cause you taught me how to give

I took a swim in the sea of guilt and misery
To find myself on an island in the middle of nowhere
In my solitude I asked in all the highest truth
And what I was told was to thine own self be true
If Jesus can forgive crucifixion then surely we can survive and find a resolution


Let's keep it moving
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment and fly high (and fly high)
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment and fly high (and fly high)
Let's keep it moving
Let's shake free this gravity of commitment and fly high on the wings of forgiveness

After everything that we've been through I just want you to know that I still love you
Want you to know that I still love you
(let's fly high)
Want to let you know how much you changed my life
Want to let you know you taught me how to fly
And I wrote this song to tell you this
I'm better 'cause you taught me how to give

I still love you
Want you to know I still love you
Want you to know I still love you
And I always will love you
And I want to let you know I forgive you
I want to let you know I still love you
Want you to know I still love you

I just want you to know I still love you
Want you to know I still love you
Want you to know I still love you
And I want to let you know I forgive you
I want to let you know I still love you
I want to let you know I still love you
Just want you to know I still love you
Just want you to know I still love you
Want you to know I still love you
And I want to let you know I forgive you

India Arie - Vodka Lyrics

Vodka Lyrics - India Arie

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depending on how the wind blows, I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

(Chorus)
I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be
The India Arie

When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know my Creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm loving what I see

(Chorus)

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows
But I've drawn a conclusion: it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the game
A misconception, a mass deception, something's gotta change
Don't be offended, this is all my opinion, ain't nothing that I'm saying law
This is a true confession of a life-learned lesson I was sent here to share with ya'll
So get in where you fit in; go on to shine; clear your mind; now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf, go on and love yourself cause everything's gonna be all right

(Chorus)

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks; I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar; all I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol; I'd rather have it pretty as a crystal
Don't need your silicone, I prefer my own, what God gave me is just fine

(Chorus x2: fade out)

India Arie - This Too Shall Pass Lyrics

This Too Shall Pass Lyrics - India Arie

I achieved so much in life
But I'm an amateur in love
My bank account is doing just fine
But my emotions are bankrupt

My body is nice and strong
But my heart is in a million pieces
When the sun is shining so am I
But when the night falls so does my tears

Sometimes the beatings so loud in my heart
That I can barely tell our voices apart
Sometimes the fear is so loud in my head
That I can barely hear what God says

Then I hear a whisper that this too shall pass
I hear the angel's whisper that this too shall pass
My ancestors whisper that this day one day will be the past
So I walk in faith that this too shall pass

The one that loved me the most
Turned around and hurt me the worse
I'm doing my best to move on
But the pain just keeps singing me songs

My head and my heart are at war
Cause love ain't happening the way I wanted
Feel like I'm about to break down
Can't hear the light at the end of the tunnel

So I pray for healing in my heart
To be put back together what is torn apart
And I pray for quiet in my head
That I can hear clearly what God says

Then I hear the whisper that this too shall pass
I hear the Angels whisper that this too shall pass
My ancestors whisper that this day will one day be the past
So I walk in faith that this too shall pass

All of sudden I realize
That it only hurts worse to fight it
So I embrace my shadow
And hold on to the morning light

This Too Shall Pass
This Too Shall Pass
This Too Shall Pass
This (This) Too (Too) Shall (shall) Pass (Pass)
This Too Shall Pass
This Too Shall Pass
I hear the angels whisper
That trouble don't have to last always
I hear the angels whisper
Even the day after tomorrow will one day be yesterday.
I hear my angels whisper.
I hear my angels whisper.
This too shall pass.

India Arie - These Eyes Lyrics

These Eyes Lyrics - India Arie

These Eyes never saw you leavin
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
Our life is the greatest story never told

How many more ways can I explain this to you boy
We had had this conversation several times before
I will except nothing less than your complete respect
If you cannot give me that then maybe I should step

These Eyes never saw you leavin
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
Our life is the greatest story never told

All this cryin all this fightin simply ain't my style
Though you're one of the most important people in my life
I love you from the day we met, I know you love me too
But at this point walking away is the best thing we can do

These Eyes never saw you leavin
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
Our life is the greatest story never told

Are we meant to be man and wife?
The answer I don't know
Of life's many mystery's what intrigues me the most
Is who our children would have been
I guess we'll never know
Even as I walk away I'll always keep the hope

These Eyes never saw you leavin
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
That's life

That's the way the story goes
Truth is every relationship is a lesson
Truth is I saw it coming but it hurts anyway
Truth is I'm not the reason you're so angry
Truth is you're not the reason I'm so passive
Truth is I've got to take back my power
Truth is

The reason why it hurts so bad
To walk away from you

These Eyes I never saw you leavin
This heart my heart is in need of some healing
These arms, These arms are letting you go
That's life is the greatest story never told (2x)

Our love is the greatest story never told
Our life is the greatest story never told (2x)

And that's the way the story goes...

India Arie - There's Hope Lyrics

There's Hope Lyrics - India Arie

(Verse 1):
Back when I had a little
I thought that I needed a lot
A little was over rated,
But a lot was a little too complicated
You see-Zero didn't satisfy me
A million didn't make me happy
That's when I learned a lesson
That it's all about your perception
Hey-are you a pauper or a superstar
So you act, so you feel, so you are
It ain't about the size of your car
It's about the size of the faith in your heart

(Chorus)
There's hope
It doesn't cost a thing to smile
You don't have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that
(repeat)

There's hope

(Verse 2):
Off in the back country of Brazil
A met a young brotha that made me feel
That i could accomplish anything.
You see just like me he wanted to sing
He had no windows and no doors
He lived a simple life and was extremely poor
On top of all of that he had no eye sight,
But that didn't keep him from seein' the light
He said, what's it like in the USA,
And all I did was complain
He said-living here is Paradise
He taught me paradise in in your mind
You know that

(Chorus)

(Bridge):
Every time I turn on the T.V. (There's Hope)
Somebody's acting crazy (There's Hope)
If you let it, it will drive you crazy (There's Hope)
But I'm takin' back my power today (There's Hope)
Gas prices they just keep on rising (There's Hope)
The government they keep on lying
But we gotta keep on surviving
Keep living our truth and do the best we can do

(Chorus)

Stand up for your rights (echo)
Keep shining your light (echo)
And show the world your smile (echo)
2x

(Chorus)

India Arie - The Truth Lyrics

The Truth Lyrics - India Arie

[Spoken:] Let me tell you why I love him
[Chorus:] Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I was my reflection of him then I must be fly cause
He's light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie
I remember the very first day I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
It's almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband maybe he was my wife
And even,the things I don't like about him are fine with me
Cause it's not hard for me to understand him cause he's so much like me
And it's truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it's god's gift to breathe
The air he breathesChorus:Cause he's the truth
Said he is so realAnd I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I was my reflection if him then I must be fly cause
His light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie (no)
How can the same man that makes me so mad
Do you know what he did (spoken)
Turn right around and kiss me so soft
Girl so you know what he did (spoken)
If he ever left me I wouldn't even be sad no
Cause there's a blessing in every lesson
And I'm glad that I knew him at all
[Chrous:] Cause he is the truthSaid he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I was my reflection of him then I must be fly cause
His light it shines so bright
I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way that he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth
I love him in every way that a woman can love a man
From personal to universal but most of all
It's unconditional
You know what I'm taking about (spoken)
That's the way I feel
And I always will (spoken)
There ain't no substitute for the truth
Either it is or isn't
Cause he is the truth
You see the truth it needs no proof
Either it is or it isn't
Cause he is the truth
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
Cause he is yes he is
I wonder does he know (echoes)

India Arie - The One Lyrics

The One Lyrics - India Arie

I got this feeling that I need to express
Laying it out so you don't have to guess
I'm making myself vulnerable
But you keep holding back, so scared to let it go
If you're looking for love I think I could be the one, the one, the one.

Tell me why you wanna be so cruel
Acting like you don't feel the way that you do
We've got the strongest compatibility
I just wanna explore the possibilities
But if you only wanna play games with me, I ain't the one, the one, the one.

I ain't got a husband you ain't got a wife
We two grown folks, let's spend some time together,
Get to know me better, maybe share some laughter
It just might turn into happily ever after
You never know I just might be the one 3x

I just might be that special girl
The one that God made especially for you
I just might be that special girl
The one to make you happy
I just wanna make you happy
One day we might hook up to and find like we was
You and me
La la la la la la la la 7x

I got a feeling that you might just be the one, the one, the one.
Yeah yeah yeah

La la la la la la la la la la la
Ah ooh oh ah oh

India Arie - The Heart Of The Matter Lyrics

The Heart Of The Matter Lyrics - India Arie

I got the call today
That I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you'd found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are all these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

Chorus: I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about...forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
Are the very things - we kill I guess...
Pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us
You know it doesn't keep us warm

Chorus: I've been tryin to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I'd figured out
I had to learn again
I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about...forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if, you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
You got to put it all behind you; cause' life goes on
You keep carryin' anger, it'll eat you up inside...
Live happily ever after

And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness.
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me
I've been tryin' to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh gets weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness...
Even if you don't love me anymore........
Even if you don't love me anymore........

India Arie - Talk To Her Lyrics

Talk To Her Lyrics - India Arie

When you talk to her talk to her
Like it was somebody else
Talk to your mama
Don't get smart
Have a heart to heart
And just like you would
With your daughter
Cause everything you do or say
You got to live with everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sister
She's somebody's mama

Now when you go to her
Speak truthfully
Honest as you can be from your heart
You're in a situation
Where losing patience
Take your time and look her in the eyes
When you just can't find the words you want
And it's hard to reach a point
Where you both can understand
Don't just tell the truth
But tell the whole truth
It'll make a better man out of you

When you talk to her talk to her
Like it was somebody else
Talk to your mama
Don't get smart
But I have a heart to heart
And just like you would
Would you daughter us
Cause everything you do or say
You got to live with everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sister
She's somebody's mama

It doesn't matter if
She's wearing mini skirt or business suit
Whether she's twenty-five or ninety-nine
Treat her the way your mama taught you to
She could be the queen Sheba, she could be a school teacher
homemaker or lawyer
I think it's good for your karma
Like when you talk to her

When you talk to her talk to her
Like it was somebody else
Talk to your mama
Don't get smart
But I have a heart to heart
And just like you would
Would you daughter
Cause everything you do or say
You got to live with everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sister
She's somebody's mama

Now let's keep it real
Nothing in this world will ever exist without the opposite
There has to be a sun and a moon
A man and a woman
That's just the way it is
Humanity dying
And everybody's fighting
How do we restore the peace
Mama Earth is hurting
When everybody's searching for that femime energy
You gotta talk to her

When you talk to her talk to her
Like it was somebody else
Talk to your mama (Watch your mouth, yeah yeah)
Don't get smart
But I have a heart to heart
And just like you would
Would you daughter
Cause everything you do or say
You got to live with everyday
She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's sister
She's somebody's mama

When you talk to her talk to her
Like it was somebody else
Talk to your mama
Just like you fight for your sister
If you knew that someone dissed her
How you gonna care for your daughter
Turn around and talk bad about the mama
Say way you listen to your auntie
Never interupt while she speaks
Make your words sweet like candy
As if you were talking to your granny yeah
If you really loved them (say so)
If you really needed them (say so)
Love the way she thinks (say so)
You love the way she speaks (say so)
When you need some good conversation (say so)
Say so (say so)
If you want her in your life (say so)
You want her to be your wife (say so)
Tell her she's your best friend (say so) (alright)
You'll be there to the end (alright)(say so)
If you're thinking about leaving (say so)
If you wonder where she's going (say so)
If you need to breathe with her (say so)
You just want to be with her (say so)
If you love her hair (say so)
If you wanted her (say so)
Tell me if you really wanted her (say so)
You wont slap her down (say so)
Say so...
If you feel like loving (say so)
If you wanna feel the hugging (say so)

Oooh oooh oooh

Goodbye summer hate to see you go
I wasn't ready for autumn wind to blow
So lonely
We had a fine time holding hands in June
Warm in a sunshine watching love in bloom
Where are you now?

Waiting for another summer's day
To bring you back my way

Hello winter, watch the swirling snow
I didn't have a blanket for the cold
So lonely now

My heart is frozen in this place
Waiting for another summer's day

I'll be waiting under the poplar tree
Anticipating when you'll come back to me
In the spring ooooh, in the spring yeah

Been such a long time, tell me how you've been

India Arie - Strength, Courage And Wisdom Lyrics

Strength, Courage And Wisdom Lyrics - India Arie

Here we go

Inside my head there lives a dream
That I wanna see in the sun
Behind my eyes, there is a me
That I've been hiding for much too long

'Cause I've been too afraid to let it show
'Cause I'm scared of the judgment
That may follow
Always puttin' off my livin' for tomorrow

It's time to step out on faith
I gotta show my face
It's been elusive for so long
Freedom is mine today

Gotta step out on faith
It's time to show my face
Procrastination had me down
Look what I have found, I've found

Strength, courage and wisdom
It's been inside of me all along
Strength, courage and wisdom
Inside of me

Behind my pride there lives a me
That knows humility
Inside my voice, there is a soul
And in my soul there is a voice

But I've been too afraid to make a choice
'Cause I'm scared of the things
That I might be missin'
Runnin' too fast to stop to listen

It's time to step out on faith
I gotta show my face
It's been elusive for so long
Freedom is mine today

Step out on faith
It's time to show my face
Procrastination had me down
Look what I have found, I've found

Strength, courage and wisdom
It's been inside of me all along
Strength, courage and wisdom
Inside of me

I close my eyes and I think
Of all the things that I wanna see
'Cause I know now that I've opened up my heart
I know that anything I want can be

So let it be, so let it be
So let it be, so let it be
So let it be, so let it be
So let it be, so let it be

Strength, courage and wisdom
It's been inside of me all along
Strength, courage and wisdom
It's been inside of me all along

Now every day I pray for

Strength, courage and wisdom
Strength, courage and wisdom
Inside of me

I found it, I found it
I found it, I found it

India Arie - Slow Down Lyrics

Slow Down Lyrics - India Arie

So far from where I started out
So far from where I wanna be
Listening for answers in the wind
But can't find a rock to plant my feet
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience
I know there's gotta be a better way
In the back of my mind I hear my momma say

Slow down, baby you're going too fast
You got you hands in the air
With you feet on the gas
You're 'bout to wreck your future
Running from your past
You need to slow down before
You go down baby

Thinking the faster that I go
The faster (that) I will reach my goal
The race is not given to the swift
But to the one who endureth
I thought that all my obstacles were behind me
Walking around like I'm made out of diamond
I tripped and fell and it remindedme
Move over and let my angels guideme

Slow down, baby you're going too fast
You got you hands in the air
With you feet on the gas
You're 'bout to wreck your future
Running from your past
You need to slow down before
You go down baby

Sometimes you gotta be still
Before you can get ahead
Be still
Ask the universe for help
Be real
You can't do it all by yourself
Ah, no no
Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still
It take some time to reach you and they
Be still
Take some time to clear your space
Be real
Chaos isn't good for your health
Ah, no no, ahhh
'cause I'm breaking things and losing things
I lost my cell phone again the other day
Now, I don't wanna live this way, no
In the back of my mind I hear my mama say

Slow down, baby you're going too fast
You got you hands in the air
With you feet on the gas
You're 'bout to wreck your future
Running from your past
You need to slow down before
You go down baby
(slow down baby)
Slow down (baby)
You're going too fast
Slow down (baby)
Feet on the gas
Slow down (baby)
Run from your past
Slow down baby (4x)

India Arie - River Rise Lyrics

River Rise Lyrics - India Arie

There was always a power I could feel
It was guidance to tell me the way to go
But nowadays I feel like I can't hear that voice
I've been flying blind
I need You to come and be my eyes

River rise, carry me back home
I cannot remember the way
River rise, carry me back home
I surrender today

I was always a charmed flower child
I would sit for hours and listen to the sky
But nowadays I feel like I don't have that choice
I've been looking down in desperation
I need You to be my inspiration, yeah

River rise, carry me back home
I cannot remember the way
River rise, carry me back home
I surrender today

I bow down and I humble myself
I can't do this, Lord I need Your help
All the material things, they feel like chains
If You're not here beside me
You're the reason I see

Help me to remember the way
I surrender

Help me to remember
Only You can show me
Only You can show me the way
I surrender, I surrender today
You are the only way
Lord, I need You

India Arie - Ready For Love Lyrics

Ready For Love Lyrics - India Arie

I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity

I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing

I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patience, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect's the spirit world
And thinks with his heart

I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can

I am ready for love
Here with a offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind

Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love

I am ready.

Purify Me Lyrics - India Arie

[Verse 1:]
Easy like Sunday mornin
Like an angel callin
He takin me all in
And i'm embrassin him with my skin
Like a glimmer of life
Like a vision of light
And he's so perfect i couldn't picture him if i tried

[Bridge 1:]
See some may come
Some may go
But i'll follow you wherever you the perfect mate for my soul
And i know i loose control whenever i'm around you cause you given me

[Chorus:]
Your hand
And that's more than enough
Your glance
Is like jumpin in the river of
Jordan
Purify me baby [x2]

[verse 2:]
It's summertime always
Like it's sunny out all day
Whenever you smile
Sweeter than momma's homemade
And i thought every man was made the same
But a world of smoke and ashes boy your are milk and honey

[Bridge 2:]
See some may come
Some may go
But fill me up with your love
You're nourishment to my soul
And i know i loose control
Whenever i'm around you
'cause you given me

[Chorus]
