Guarding The Gates - Ms. Lauryn Hill

Everybody, everybody wants to know

Where you going to

What you running from

What you going through

Where you coming from

What you going through

Where you coming from

Everybody, everybody wants to know

What you gonna do

Where you going to

'Cause they wanna come

Where I’m showing you

Yes, they wanna come

Where I’m showing you

All that you could be is a spectacle

Following after every single miracle

Watch them marvel at

All the joy you have

But they’re too important to have all the joy you have

What a tragedy, you can laugh at me, you can laugh at me

But I’m in love

Yes, I’m in love

Don’t you wish you had real love

Yes, I’m in love

Tryna fix myself for society

Tryna mix myself for society

But can you tell me where is love in anxiety?

Can you tell me where is love in anxiety?

What you say to me

I don’t mind at all

What you say to me

I don’t really care at all

'Cause I’m in love

Don’t you wish you had real love?

I know you do

Yes, I’m in love

Watch them speculate

All the life you live

Watch them try to hate

All the love you give

All the love you give

Everybody, everybody wants to know

Where you going to

'Cause they wanna come

Or so they think, until they find the cost of it

Till they found out, found out what you lost for it

And I’ll do it all again

'Cause I found love

'Cause I found love

Don’t you wish you had real love?

I know you do

Yes, I’m in love

Everybody, everybody wants to know

Where you going to

What you running from

What you going through

Where you coming from

What you going through

Where you’re coming from

Everybody, everybody wants to know

What you gonna do

Where you going to

'Cause they wanna come

Where I’m showing you

Yes, they wanna come

Where I’m showing you

All that you could be is a spectacle

Following after every single miracle

Watch them marvel at

All the joy you have

But they’re too important to have all the joy you have

What a tragedy, you can laugh at me, you can laugh at me

But I’m in love

Yes, I’m in love

Don’t you wish you had real love?

I know you do

Yes, I’m in love

So what you say to me, I don’t even mind at all

What you say to me, I don’t even care at all

'Cause I’m in love

Don’t you wish you had real love?

I know you do

Don’t you wish you had real love?

These broken thoughts in my mind

Can’t let them get down in there

Can’t let them get down in there

These broken thoughts in my mind

Can’t let them get down in there

Can’t let them get down in there

'Cause I need real love

I need real love

I’m guarding, guarding the gates

Oh, I’m guarding my gates
