Farewell Dolly - Esperanza Spalding

Change the way I see my life

Wild eye, wild eye

I’m the dolly, I’m the wife

Damned if I, do or die

Maybe time is gonna make

An exception for me

I’m exceptionally, busy

Judging by the times

He’s not worried about my kind, is he?

Damn the way I go and bide

All the rest, of my time

Waiting for a man to die

For a piece, of the pie

Maybe time is gonna wait

And expect less from me

I’m exceptionally, pretty

I can testify

Nature’s dead up in my mind, with me
