everything but the girl - silent treatment (the roots) lyrics

intro/chorus: repeat 2x

girl you know that you need
to stop givin’ me the silent.. treatment baby
can’t you see what you mean to me?
i wanna love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
and treating me silently

verse one: blackthought

yo, i had a queen named amina, height 5’7″
caramel-complected, body like heaven
met her through the sister of my man big vince
like some sh-t from out the flicks we been in love ever since
she called me her chocolate brotha, i call her my sugar sista
knew shorty could work it since before i ever kissed her
i never dissed her, painted my picture to hit
but because s-x she wasn’t with, she started flippin an’ sh-t
like, “listen man, i’m queen amina, amina’s not no freak and
that game is weak and keep tryin to hit i could quit speakin
tariq in fact, you bein blackthought don’t get ya closer
i dig ya but won’t bone ya because i’m so-called supposed ta
most o’ them would, but that couldn’t be me, that’s not my flava
go home and think about that, maybe later on i’ll page ya…”
i contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin
steady pursuin screwin, gettin nothin but the silent treatment

chorus (+ “silently bay-bee” at end)

verse two: blackthought

crazy frustration, about my lovin situation
when patience was a virtue, but i wasn’t used to waitin
i want some marvin gaye healin, feelin is real inside
i slip and slide, my ride’ll keep you occupied, i’d..
love to get wit it like that, but my baby’s kitty cat’s capped
and locked, love boat is docked at the sh-r-
and what for? later for groupies on tour
why won’t my sugar call me no more?
i mean, my queen gets upset, rejectin and s-xually neglect
then sayin i’m more sewer than das efx, and closed-minded
it’s like i’m blinded by the skinnin
i’m into women
