Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I'm gettin' home to you
I gotta show you what I can do
But everything connects and that ain't nowhere
Well, maybe they're just givin' you all you've ever wanted
And maybe you've never ever know what that was
And maybe you're just findin' it out now
[Verse 2]
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
[Verse 3]
Technology satellite, well, what's wrong today
And why was everyone so busy
They've forgotten why they're playin' that?
He said, "What's wrong today is what's wrong with you"
You're so sorry, busy, sorry, that's all you'll do
[Verse 4]
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
Your pretty, little mind
[Verse 5]
Match me your slingshot with every life of Queens
And I got to show you more busted glass than any girl ever seen
Since I been blasted, I've been blowin', I've been backin' away
You've got to back it away
You've got, baby, such a fabulous, yeah
But I've got a consult down to play
[Verse 6]
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
Your pretty, little mind
Your pretty, little mind
[Verse 7]
When I'm gettin' home to you
I gotta show you what I can do
But everything connects and that ain't nowhere, no, no, no
Ah, baby, no, nowhere
It just won't give out, no
No, I'm talkin' 'bout your overkill
Talkin' 'bout your overkill
Gotta shout about your overkill
Now that it's over, now that it's over
Now that it's over, now that it's over
What you gonna do?
