This opening track introduces us to the concept of the album. The Odd Couple focuses on themes surrounding a toxic —but not always predatory— relationship. Old “gold digger” tropes don’t apply here. It’s about asymmetrical needs and the way two people can feed off of each other, never satisfying eac...
[Intro: CeeLo Green]
Give, give, give it away, now
Give, give, give it away, now
Give it away, now
[Verse: CeeLo Green & Sierra Simone]
I-I-I-I don't know what matters to you at this moment
But that's all that matters to me
How are you? How are you? Knock on wood
Well, I'm not doin' so good
I bet you probably couldn't tell
Although you're worth it, I'm still not well
And I don't understand how I'm so understanding
I guess that that's all I can be
How are you? How are you? I think I can help
But I can't help myself
Shouldn't I be happy? You need my help
I usually just talk to myself
[Chorus: CeeLo Green]
Oh, can't you see, oh, can't you see?
If I help somebody, baby, there's mercy for me (Me)
Ah, charity (And you, for you, one for you, and you, and you)
[Bridge: CeeLo Green & Sierra Simone]
Don't wanna bother you, baby, but I'm bleedin', too
Are you needin' me like I'm needin' you?
Even my shadow leaves me all alone at night
Guess I need to start to take my own advice
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la
[Chorus: CeeLo Green]
Oh, can't you see, oh, can't you see?
Somebody's a liar, whoever said freedom was free (Free)
Ah, charity
[Refrain: CeeLo Green]
Give, give, give it away, now
Give, give, give it away, now
Give it away, now
Give it away, now
[Outro: CeeLo Green]
Woo! Alright
Yeah
I want to be your baby
Charity, you better give it to somebody
