This is an interesting song about Jill trying to connect with her lover, who is frustratingly non-communicative when he comes home. Not only do the lyrics track this struggle, but the music and arrangement changes as well.
The first two verses are classic Jill Scott fusion of R+B and hip hop produc...
[Verse 1]
Here you go, jacket down
Timbs off
Remote control
And there you go
Off into outerspace
Distant from me
Where do you go?
Your eyes are closed
I'd like to know
[Pre-Chorus]
I stop, sit next to you because you seem so blue
And pray nothing's broke
Baby, I don't want to see us burn down
And go up in smoke
No, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out, spell it out for me
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out, spell it out for me
[Verse 2]
But when I push
Begins the riff
You take off and there I sit
Alone feeling cold
I become antagonist, loud, and wrong
Words are thrown
I bitch, you moan
So I try another tactic, ohh
[Verse 3]
Close your eyes
Relax your mind
Cool down
Just recline
We've got the time
To let it go
Just unwind
I'll be cool baby
I'll be quiet
If you'd like
I'll put on your favorite song
Sounds nice
Thug passion on ice?
Or a glass of Merlot?
I'll roll it up
If you want
I won't front
I just need to know
What you know
[Chorus]
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me, baby
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me
[Scat Bridge]
[Verse 4]
Oh, baby, I'm getting so frustrated
Aggravated
And so it seems that you're hiding something from me
And that ain't the way, my sweet
I'm loving you
But I get confused
And what makes me fear
When your personality is unclear
I make things up in my mind
You're right next to me
But sometimes I feel like you're off away
And you just don't have a thing to say
But I'm here for you
So tell me what you, tell me what you're going through
Ahh
