Nina Simone The Assignment Song

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 its way
Another way for
today
My spirit is so foreign
You want silence
My
spirit id 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 its way
Another way now for today
