Now as Then - Tune-Yards

Written by：Merrill Garbus/Nate Brenner

I am exceptional

I am an exception

I am the exception

That's for me that's also for me

I am a contradiction

I'm fascinating

Not enough too much

Tell me I'm special

They might look like me but they don't know

Man I wanna take you home

Oh the relaxation I feel here

Oh the relaxation I feel most everywhere

Except the places I don't go

Except the places I don't go

Oh don't trust me

That I won't take all the money and run

Don't trust me

That I won't take all the money and run

Oh I'm just a shell of myself

I might just take all the money and run

I don't wanna be a woman if it's permission

Like it's permission

Now as then

I know then as now oh

Now as then

I know then as now oh

I know I'm not to be trusted

She had this thing with her shoulders

Couldn't sleep on either side

Face up to the ceiling nowhere to hide

Oh she has this thing with her shoulders

Can't sleep on either side

Face up to the ceiling nowhere to hide

Oh she is speaking to me speaking right to me

They're all speaking right to me speaking my language

It's all in my language a universal language and

I am loved I am loved

I am loved in every single tongue

Oh don't trust me

That I won't take all the money and run

Don't trust me

That I won't take all the money and run

Now I'm a blank I'm drawing a blank

I might just take all the money and run

I don't wanna be a woman

If it means not being human

Now as then

Oh

Now now now now

Oh

Now as then

Oh now

Now as then

Oh now

Now as then

Oh now

Now as then

Oh now

Now as then

Oh

I know I'm not to be trusted

Now now now now oh

Now now oh what if I don't feel it

Now now now now

Now as then

Then as now
