Nina Simone Assignment Sequence Lyrics

Hendin

The assignment the assignment okay
Not too loud now not too loud
The song is called the assignment
Talks about the lover's gap
Tha gap between lovers
Especially in marriage and other forms

Bouncing off your wall
Tha pathways of my mind
Are on their way
Another way for today

You want me to see you
Baby I cannot see you
You want me to come for you
I cannot come for you
Cos you wany an assignment
I see no concession

Sall I hang my head with yours and be blue
Send alway laughter and fun
Spend all my time thinking about you Don't you know there are things I can't do for you

My mind is on it's way
Another way for today
My spirit is so foreign
You want silence
My spirit I'd taking flight now
But baby you're in a mood
And you wanna cry tonight now

Shall I hang my head with yours and be blue
That's what you want me to do
Send away laughter and fun
Spend my time crying
Trying to please you

Oh don't you know
There are things I can't do for you
My mind is on it's way
Another way now for today
