Nina Simone - Assignment Sequence Lyrics

Artist: Nina Simone

Album: Miscellaneous

The assignment, the assignment, okay
Not too loud now, not too loud
The song is called the assignment

Talks about the lover's gap
The gap between lovers
Especially in marriage and other forms

Bouncing off your wall
The 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 want an assignment
I see no concession

Shall I hang my head with yours and be blue
Send away 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 is 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
