My Petition Jill Scott

[Verse 1]
You say you mean good for me, but you don't do it
You say you have a plan, but you just don't go through with it
You say you know the way to go and I should follow
But all of your empty promises leave me hollow

[Chorus]
And oh how do I trust you?
How do I love you when you lie to me repeatedly?
And oh, how do I have faith in you?
When you just don't come through
Like you said you could? (oh oh)
Oh, say can you see (Oh, say can you see)

[Verse 2]
You say that I'm wrong for stating my opinion to you
You say that I'm wrong and there'll be quiet consequences too
But I know my rights, babe, there'll be no law abridging
The freedom of my speech
Or the right for me to petition for a remedy of grievances

[Chorus]
And I want to trust you
I want to love you, yeah
But you lie to me repeatedly
And oh I want to have faith in you
But you just don't come through
Like you said you could (like you said you could)
Oh say can you see (say can you see)
Hmmm
