A Room In Harlem by Katherine Toll Lyrics

What am I thinking about
You tell me to tell you right now
I say that my head’s in the clouds
I’m high and I’m staying

Why are you talking about
Family if we’re just messing around
And trying to figure me out
That’s not why I’m here

Oh
Not now

I think I wanna go home
I got what I came for
I’m not gonna sleep next to you

But I don’t feel like getting up
You ask me to feel but feel what
'Cause I know you don’t fucking care
What’s wrong with just hooking up
No
Not now
Don’t wanna know
Not now

I’m not sure
If I’m better off or worse
I’ve needed healing
But am I better off or worse

So you meet me in a room in Harlem
Make me say I want you
Pull me closer

I know, I know you’ll stay
‘Til you get what you want

Why’s it compelling to lie
With the ending in sight
Is that how you sleep at night

My body’s tired
My mind is wired
And I gotta get out of my head

You come over one last time
Meet me to say your goodbyes
I say goodbye
'Cause I’ve got to get to midtown
You tell me you respect me
You’re sad to see me go
Then you try to undress me

No
Not now
No
Not now

So you meet me in a room in Harlem
Make me say I want you
Pull me closer

I know, I know you’ll stay
'Til you get what you want

So you meet me in a room in Harlem
Make me say I want you
Pull me closer

I know, I know you’ll stay
'Til you get what you want
