Window Seat by Erykah Badu

...
So, presently I'm standing
Here right now, you're so demanding
Tell me what you want from me
Concluding
Concentrating on my music, lover and my babies
Makes me wanna ask the lady for a ticket out of town
So can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket out of town
A look around and a safe touch down
(Can I get) a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry and a long bye-bye
...
But I, I need you to want me
I need you to miss me
I, I need your attention, yes
I need you next to me
(Oh) I, I need someone to clap for me
I need your direction
Somebody say, come back
Come back, baby, come back
I want you to need me
Come back (hey) come back, baby
Come back, baby
Come back, come back, baby, come back
Come to me
Come back, come back, baby, come back
So, in my mind I'm tussling
Back and forth (be)tween here and hustling
I don't wanna time travel no more
I wanna be here, I'm thinking
See, on this porch I'm rocking
Back and forth like Lightning Hopkins
If anybody speak to Scotty
Tell him, beam me up
So can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket out of town
A look around and a safe touch down
Can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
See, I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry and a long bye-bye
...
But I, I need you to miss me
I need somebody come get me
I see, I need your attention, yes
And I need your energy, yes, I do
(Oh oh oh) I, I need someone to clap for me
And I need your direction
Somebody say, come back, hey, come back, baby
Come back, I want you to need me
Come back, come back, baby, come back
...
Come back, come back, baby, come back
Come look for me
Come back, come back, baby, come back
So can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket out of town
A look around and a safe touch down
...
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry and a long bye bye
