Goapele - Catch 22 Lyrics

Nobody knows what I go through, indecisions made me passive
They say I want my cake and I wanna eat it too
Less satisfied if I don't, consequences when I do
These lessons, they lead me on my way

But when company is tempting me, I'm turned around
But I might wanna go that way
(Don't wanna go that way)

Well, it's catch 22
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
Yes, it's catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
(Damned if I do)

And how many times does it take to learn just one thing
'Cause I keep ending up here?
And I'm not a scientist so I just keep on praying that I won't
Keep getting the same results each day

And I said that I can't be with you
But when you turn away I pull back your hands to stay
(Your hands to stay)

So many days turn to years that brought us here
And we shied through time without too many tears
But we still made decisions, creatin' divisions
So many contradictions, why didn't we listen?

Well, it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
(Damned if I do)
Yes, it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do

'Cause when I see you looking at her
I can't stand it, my eyes can't conceive
You gave her the smile you gave to me
I love you selfishly and I can feel so strongly
Oh, how you throw me but still you know me
Oh, you know me

But it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
Yes, it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
I'm damned if I don't, damned if I do
(Damned if I do)

Oh, it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
(Damned if I do)
Yes, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
