Lyrics Mr. Intentional - Live - Lauryn Hill

Yeah, yeaaah, yeah heh, yeah heh, yeah heh...

See the road to hell, is paved with good intentions
Can't you tell, the way they have to mention
How they helped you out, you're such a hopeless victim
Please don't do me any favors, Mr. Intentional
Instrumental

All their talk, is seasoned to perfection
The road they walk, commanding your affection
They need to be needed, deceived by motivation
An opportunity, to further situation
Why they so important, is without explanation
Please don't patrionize me, Mr. Intentional
Oh, oh, oh, oh

We give rise to ego, by being insecure
The advice that we go, desperately searching for
The sub-conscious effort, to support our paramour
To engage in denial, to admit we're immature
Validating lies, Mr. Intentional
Open up yours eyes, Mr. Intentional
Instrumental

Stuck in a system, that seeks to suck your blood
Held emotionally hostage, by what everybody does
Counting all the money, that you give them just because
Exploiting ignorance, in the name of love
Stop before you drop because that's just the way it was

Please don't justify me, Mr. Intentional
Oh one-dimensional, Mr. Intentional
Oh, oh don't you do me any favors
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Wake up you've been sleeping
Take up your bed and walk
Stop blaming other people
Oh it's nobody else's fault
Accept the truth about you
You know that life goes on without you
And your expensive misadventures
Disguising your intentions
Don't worship my hurt feelings, Mr. Intentional
Oh, oh oh oh

See I know you can't help me, Mr. Intentional
The only help I need to live, is unprofessional
The only wealth I have to give, is not material
And if you need much more than that, I'm not available

Please don't entertain me, Mr. Intentional
Oh I dont need your sympthy, Mr. Intentional
Stay away from me, Mr. Intentional
So one-dimensional, Mr. Promotional, Mr. Emotional, Mr. Intentional
Oh, oh, oh
Instrumental

This is the part in the show
Where the bracelet comes off
But I'm just gonna be cute
