angie baby

i have long been an angie stone fan. back in tha day, she emceed with a rap group called "the sequence", which was part of the Sugarhill Records label. they had a hit around 79 or 80 titled "funk you up" which my circle of friends used to love. she rhymed her name as "angie b the one the eyes" at that time. damn, i treasured that sound. and i hold a soft spot for old school rap to this day.

anyway, i hadn't heard this acoustic version of another song by angie until today. i really like it. and i really love the pacific northwest vibe that is workin in the vid. funny thing is, the short time i was dancing with tina "on the circuit" so to speak, i would sing along with the more popular version of this song on the dancefloor. but i think i was singing to crystal then. i was already a little off balance and there was little hope of reeling it back in. i say "thank heaven i don't have to feel this way today!" until i saw the lyrics written out, i never knew that after the phrase "isnt' it ironic" comes the phrase "all you wanna do is smoke chronic". no wonder i liked the song.

Wish I Didn't Miss You

Same old story is back again
She's not a lover, she's just a friend
I'm sick and tired for you to blame on me
Now you think it's funny
Now you wanna spend your money on girls
But you forgot when you were down
That I was around

Call my lover, hang up, call again
What in the world is happening
Listen in, but don't yell at me
Isn't it ironic all you wanna do is smoke chronic
Boy, you forgot when you were down
Who was around

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore

Memories don't live like people do
I'm sick for ever believing you
Wish you'd bring back the man I knew
Was good to me, oh Lord
Everytime you say you're coming
Boy, you disappoint me, honey
How well you forgot when you were down
And I was around

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore

One of these days, it's gonna happen to you
Missing a love like I'm missing you, babe yeah yeah
One of these days, when your dreams come true
That's the one that's gonna do it to you
Oh oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore
