You Had Time - Ani DiFranco

I changes the pronouns slightly. All the "I'll, and I"s used to be "you'll and you"s and vise versa. I changed it to fit my life right now.


how can you come home
with nothing to say
You know I'm going to look at you that way
and say" what did you do out there
and what did you decide
you said you needed time
and you had time"

I am a china shop
and you are a bull
I am really good food
and you are full
I guess everything is timing
I guess everything's been said
so you are coming home with an empty head

I'll say "did they love you or what?"
You'll say "they love what I do,
the only one who really loves me is you"
and I'll say "girl did you kick some butt?"
and you'll say "I don't really remember,
but my fingers are sore
and my voice is too"

I'll say "it's really good to see you"
I'll say "I missed you horribly"
I'll say "let me carry that,
give that to me"
and I will take the heavy stuff
and I will drive the car
and you'll look out the window making jokes
about the way things are

how can you come home
with nothing to say
You know I'm going to look at you that way
and say "what did you do out there,
and what did you decide?
you said you needed time
and you had time"
