Raphael Saadiq - Youre The One That I Like Lyrics

[Intro]
How did you become a victim of the streets?

You're the one that I like
You're the one that I like

[Verse 1]
When you called my mother's house
I was wondering what this was about
I was so glad to hear from you
What I'm hearing, I hope it's not true

And I remember you got your degree
Congratulations, you made history
And you were as fine as can be
How did you become a victim of the streets?

[Chorus]
It's so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
Tryin' to visit ya, baby (Tryin' to visit ya, baby)
Girl, it's makin' me crazy (Girl, it's makin' me crazy)

You're the one that I like

It's so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
Just to look at ya, baby (Tryin' to see ya, baby)
God gone make it better

[Verse 2]
When I pulled up to your house
Expecting to see a movie star
Girl, you ran out to my ride
You know, this really hurts me inside

What has this poison done to you?
Has it dealt a bad hand to you?
You know, I started to get sideways
I couldn't manage to drive away

But I can't believe my eyes
How much you've gone down in size
Whatcha done did to yourself?
The state took the kids
And the man's in jail

And all of this is killing me
I wanna help you on your feet
But this is not a job for me
You need to find yourself on your knees (hey... hey)

[Chorus]
You're the one that I like (You're the one that I like)

It's so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
Tryin' to visit ya, baby (Tryin' to visit ya, baby)
Girl, it's makin' me crazy (Girl, it's makin' me crazy)

You're the one that I like

It's so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
Just to look at ya, baby (Tryin' to see ya, baby)
God gone make it better

You're the one that I like

It's so hard for me
Just to look at ya, baby
Girl, it's makin' me crazy

You're the one that I like

It's so hard for me
It's so hard for me, baby

You're the one that I like

It's so hard for me

[Outro]
Please... please
Find yourself on your knees

Fade out
