Lyrics The Assignment Sequence - Remastered - Nina Simone

The assignment
Okay
Not too loud now, not too loud
The song is called "The Assignment"
Talks about the lover′s gap
Tha gap between lovers
Especially in marriage and other forms
Bouncing off your wall
Tha pathways of my mind
Are on their way
Another way for today
Ohoo
You want me to see you
Baby, I cannot see you
You want me to come for you
I cannot come for you
'Cause you want an assignment
I see no concession
Shall I hang my head with yours and be blue?
Send away laughter and fun?
Spend all my time thinking about you?
Don′t you know that things I can't do for you
My mind is on it's way
Another way for today, oh
My spirit is so foreign
You want silence
My spirit is taking flight now
But baby, you′re in a mood and you wanna cry tonight now
Shall I hang my head with yours and be blue?
That′s what you want me to do?
Send away laughter and fun
Spend my time crying
Trying to please you
Oh, don't you know
There are things I can′t do for you
My mind is on it's way
Another way now, for today
Hey!
