Madlib - Carried Away lyrics
[Hook] I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away [Verse 1] Met her at the comedy club Connected more than I expected, didn't think we'd hook up I wasn't looking for love but she was easy to talk to Positive and intelligent, can't easily walk through Sent her a message, she responds down for whatever We'll stroll in the park, unless there's bad weather Walking together seeing striking similarities I think it was a date, but I'm biking there for clarity The next time I see her I'm gonna flirt We ate tapas for dinner, she kissed me for dessert Now is when I'd get defensive but I'm open and I'm falling And I'm hoping I can see her, and I'm texting and I'll calling I'm committed, what woman doesn't want commitment? I'm telling my friends potential is infinite In the perfect neighborhood, love her apartment when I visit Envision myself as a tenant [Hook] I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away [Verse 2] She and I were thriving, I'm telling everybody Want her to meet my friends, inviting her to parties Memorizing the age and location of her brothers Preparing to meet her sister, learning about her mother I've known her for three weeks, but I'm pretty sure I love her Planning activities outside the city for next summer She's going to school soon and it would be a bummer if she left town But I'll touch down like Plummer I'm talking about the future, she talked about it lesser I'm sharing all my feelings, she winks and gestures, I found it cute She's fallen ill so I'll bring her soup Keep her company while she recoups, not in the greatest mood? It's cool, when she gets better there's so much to do Couldn't imagine being used, it felt so new I'm having fun, there's no one else that I would choose I think that she might be the one [Hook] I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little c... [Verse 3] Hadn't seen her in four days, I'm fiending She just got back from Philly and her energy was leaning in the opposite direction Said she hadn't been alone enough I was too happy to see her to notice that her tone was rough She asked me to leave, figured she'd reach out in the morning and apologize Next day was silent, I'm in mourning I wanna ask what's going on but she wants space Plus if I don't, maybe she'll think I don't care Sent her a text in case what happened is something we can repair I'm about to leave the state, she wants to meet before I leave, a netural meeting place I know she's breaking up with me now, you should have seen my face I wasn't eating so it wasn't something that I ate All I could do was wait, I'm bracing for my fate Call on my friends and family to help me lift the weight Try not to feel ashamed, nor hyperventilate Arrived a little late, we small talked and then she said she wasn't feeling great And didn't feel the same, needed to be alone, and that I'm not to blame The timing's right, many commitments end of summer brings And now I'm realizing my girlfriend was a summer fling The funny thing's I knew, I saw it coming 'cause I've done it too Feeling the guilt that someone's hurt by you Reeling, I built us up to be something that wasn't true I'd be less crushed if I played it cool [Hook] I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away I guess I got a little carried away, a little carried away A little carried away, a little carried away [Outro: Chris Rock] If you've been dating a man for four months And you haven't met any of his friends You are not his girlfriend
