"After being chased. I've been dismissed as just an object. Something to play with. " DAMN! One of the worst feelings is not knowing how he feels after he made it clear in the beginning that he wanted you... making you open your heart... wide... to let him in. Then he decides for some reason... not a good reason... that he's done. Oooh weee. I love Jill.
As a man, Jill has helped me understand my actions as a young boy/man and how they affect the women in my past. She does a great job at illustrating and explaining the hurt. This is one of those songs that makes a brotha who has matured go back and say "I'm sorry..." and truly mean it. Love Jill!
It's after 5am and I just wanted to hear this song. Thankfully, it's not because of a broken heart (this time) I just can't sleep but this album is by far, one of my favorites by Jill. This song has actually come full circle for me. It use to remind me of my failed marriage but now it makes me grateful that I now have a wonderful husband...never settle for a man who doesn't have your back ladies, if your patient, he will find you.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, listening for cars, engines, horns, noticing every sound hoping it's him..........but it's not. Never ever want to experience a foolish love like that again!!! Yes, Sweetcherry4282, I have served my time and I'm soooo glad it's over!!!
This is also my very favorite song. I can listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I don't know why I love it so much...perhaps it's because I and so many others can relate to her pain in a very real way as it's happened to us.
Jill Scott just expresses raw emotions on her songs. Especially on this CD. She was going through sooo much.. Based on the lastes CD "Light of the Sun" She is in a much healthier emotional space. I am trying to get back good emotional space. I am so tired of being emotionally tired.
DAMN!!!! this song transends. I can just FEEL the emotion in her voice...this song is so relatable...I love it! It is one of the best on the album...if not THE best...raw emotion...I feel it in my SOUL!!!! I can sO relate...
it has to succumb to this...this..deep..abyss of pain, shame, rejection, loneliness...memories of being happy some of the time...sad most of the time...it had to succomb to this for me to set you free......
WOW WOW Jill is healing some not so completely closed wounds of mine with this song! Just called off an engagement because I was going thru this so much. She is doing wonders on my mind and soul right now. *** finally exhales*** Shocking how you can look in the mirror one day oblivious to how u turned from a woman of strength and substance to a crazy woman full of rage and hurt. I will never be her again!
I watched For Colored Girls tonight. Wow!!!!! I laughed! I cried!! I got mad! I got Happy!! I wanted to turn it off at times, but I didn’t!! It was an emotional roller coaster!!! But one of the best Movies I had ever seen. Once it was over I started looking up the soundtrack and have been listening to it for a couple of hours!, Such an amazing movie !!!! AGAIN *** WOW***
where was this song when my ex did this to me? I remember caling HOSPITALS to see if something happened to him..... duh. Life is good. Jill, you're amazing.
I am so happy for you, Miss Jill Scott.. You look fabulous. You have always been so pretty when you were a little heavier but now your so extra gorgeouos.. Your voice is lovely just like you are.. I'm glad that you lost the weight.. Not only should you do it for your health but also to feel good about yourself.. I'm sure you felt good about yourself before but now you can feel EXTRA better about , YOU.. God bless you and keep singing with that beautiful voice.. You go girl....
@BerryBearParis Yes, they do it to us all the time but we have to be stronger than that, much stronger. It's really funny bcuz I only recently came across Jill Scott while listening to music on RUclips and by someone posting a comment on the best women singers, of course her name was mentioned. I'm so glad I found her. Nuff Respect Jill...
I feel this song more then ever, played it about 20 times now....WOW!!....Everything is for a reason and a purpose. A man's rejection is God's protection.....can wait to see what sexy man walks in to my life next! I LOVE YOU JILL
Wow, its crazy being on the other side of the fence...knowing the person I was with was going through this and I was out there bs'ing...its not just men that do this ladies...
You didn't know!!! LOL!!! I'm going to the philippines for christmas to visit my fiance, and I have got to get this jam in my suitcase before I leave!!
It is 4 a.m. I'm waiting in our bed alone, Dreaming of your embrace Wishing you would come back home But you don't call, And you don't come, And you don't say, That you miss me And you don't stop To say hi On your way by I'm feeling crazy It is 5 a.m. And I'm waiting by the phone again This is not how it's 'sposed to be You're 'sposed to be here with me But you're go'n now You're just go'n now You don't even think about the way I feel You're just go'n now You're just go'n now When I know you should be right here It's 6 o'clock in the morning And I'm so tired of yawning I am miserable and feeling blue Cause all I really want is you But you don't call, And you don't come, And you don't say, That you miss me And you don't stop To say hi On your way by I'm feeling crazy It's 7 o'clock in the a.m. In 15 minutes this alarm will be ringing At work,no one will feel my pain It's a shame the way this whole thing changed But you're go'n now You're just go'n now You don't think about the way I feel You're just go'n now You're just go'n now When you know that you should be right here But you don't call, And you don't come, And you don't say, That you miss me No,no,no,no And you don't stop To say hi On your way by This is crazy Brrring... Time to wake up, And put on my strong face And hope that no one will know
hey memoir2, don't fret. focus on you while biulding your queendom and your king will surface from the fire of light purged to your expectation. its yo world baby!
@costcordero2 the key word was some point in their life. I've experienced this situation and I did what I needed to do to move beyond becoming a bitter person and closed toward love. I wish we lived in a world of fairy tales and everyone has a happy ending but sometimes when someone has lived this kind of betrayal they don't move on and become like a poison and effect those around them.

The part about going to work....hoping no one will know... I feel that today. And I live with the man!
I hope things have gotten better..

This is my favorite cut on the whole album, this is what you call grown folks music!!!
THIS SONG IS EVERYTHING!!
"At work no one will feel my pain" DAMN!
I feel her pain in this song
I know exactly what she's saying, been there... Love you Jill, I can honestly say I relate to your music in many ways. Men can be so horrible.
this song right here...
WOW!!! That's that only word that can describe this woman...her beauty, her essence, her intelligence is just...WOW!
this is my favorite song. it's been on repeat on my ipod for about 30 times notstop. no joke
👍
Wow is there anything this lady doesn't sing that's not good. She's so amazing.
This is also my very favorite song. I can listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I don't know why I love it so much...perhaps it's because I and so many others can relate to her pain in a very real way as it's happened to us.
"Time To Wakeup and Put On My StrongFace...."
That's the line that got me. I feel that big time.
I dunno why I always skipped this song! I was missing out!!!
there won't be many women who don't know that feeling! she describes it so eloquently and so beautifully.
Jill Scott just expresses raw emotions on her songs. Especially on this CD. She was going through sooo much.. Based on the lastes CD "Light of the Sun" She is in a much healthier emotional space. I am trying to get back good emotional space. I am so tired of being emotionally tired.
yeah you're right she can convey her emotions through her voice very effectively.
Everyone has been this woman some point in their lives and it's takes a lot of strength and resolve to move and grow beyond this
I can truly relate to this song bc I was living it all when this cd dropped.
yes we all have been there sista! yet still we rise.. and live, learn and love the journey we have walked
DAMN!!!! this song transends. I can just FEEL the emotion in her voice...this song is so relatable...I love it! It is one of the best on the album...if not THE best...raw emotion...I feel it in my SOUL!!!! I can sO relate...

it has to succumb to this...this..deep..abyss of pain, shame, rejection, loneliness...memories of being happy some of the time...sad most of the time...it had to succomb to this for me to set you free......

A brotha loves Jill. This is one of my favorites, but the Easy-Off takes revenge to a new low....As Prince says, "maybe not the ride".

It is 4 a.m.
I'm waiting in our bed alone,
Dreaming of your embrace
Wishing you would come back home
But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
I'm feeling crazy
It is 5 a.m.
And I'm waiting by the phone again
This is not how it's 'sposed to be
You're 'sposed to be here with me
But you're go'n now
You're just go'n now
You don't even think about the way I feel
You're just go'n now
You're just go'n now
When I know you should be right here
It's 6 o'clock in the morning
And I'm so tired of yawning
I am miserable and feeling blue
Cause all I really want is you
But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
I'm feeling crazy
It's 7 o'clock in the a.m.
In 15 minutes this alarm will be ringing
At work,no one will feel my pain
It's a shame the way this whole thing changed
But you're go'n now
You're just go'n now
You don't think about the way I feel
You're just go'n now
You're just go'n now
When you know that you should be right here
But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
No,no,no,no
And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
This is crazy
Brrring...
Time to wake up,
And put on my strong face
And hope that no one will know
Been there and it hurts but after some crown royal it goes away.
put on my strong face... 3:00 on - those lyrics... lawdy!
Wow!!!
she is considered the neo-soul category
Jill outbeats majority of these co called ''artists'' now and days. Thats nothing but he truth.
"you have managed to turn me from a woman of substance, to this..."
So powerful
sick
Have the compilation album also and never knew there was a video?! ...Nice ;o)
okayyyy...? amen
Spying....way down down low with flats on...from the opposite side of the bar. 😹😹😹 Jill keep it too real
@DejaBan12 lol well it is a video TO music right? Bomb ass song right here!
I'M MISERABLE AND FEELING BLUE......#INSOMNIA
