Herringbone by Topaz Jones Lyrics
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't we just get along this evening?
Ain't no need for that fussing and carrying on, yeah
Can't we all sing a song this evening?
Every time I call you don't answer the phone
[Chorus]
Just a little bit of family dysfunction
We all got it, we all got it, hey
Just a little bit of family dysfunction
We all got it, we all got it, hey
[Post-Chorus]
Before you was in the picture
Had a figure like a goddess
Got a soul like your daddy
Got a smile like your momma's
Can't keep a woman if you can't keep a promise
I used to act so shady
Baby, least I'm being honest
[Verse]
Yeah, all of my aunties throwing shade like, uh (Ooh)
All of my uncles playing spades likе, ah
Tears in my eyes whеn we play fight (Play)
Quit all that acting out, keep the charade tight
Holidays came, we played a game up at our place
How many whips can we fit up in this driveway?
How many ribs can I get on top of my plate?
How many gifts did you get this year? I'll wait
'Round the time my father stopped living up where I stay
Every Friday, forty-five minutes on the highway
Lisa get to trippin' when the liquor in her system
All anyone would ever say was, "Drive safe"
I hate ya'll, but don't judge it
'Cause I'ma hold you down when others'll hold grudges
And we don't gotta explain it to people that don't love us
The blues is Mo' Better, the food is mo' butter
You know we just imitate what the parents show
The bad habits, the trust issues, the marriage woes
We inherit those, until the day we have some kids of our very own
And we pass it all down like a herringbone
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't we just get along this evening?
Ain't no need for that fussing and carrying on, yeah
Can't we all sing a song this evening?
Every time I call you don't answer the phone
[Chorus]
Just a little bit of family dysfunction
We all got it, we all got it, hey
Just a little bit of family dysfunction
We all got it, we all got it, hey
Can't we just get along this evening?
Ain't no need for that fussing and carrying on, yeah
Can't we all sing a song this evening?
Every time I call you don't answer the phone
[Chorus]
Just a little bit of family dysfunction
We all got it, we all got it, hey
Just a little bit of family dysfunction
We all got it, we all got it, hey
[Post-Chorus]
Before you was in the picture
Had a figure like a goddess
Got a soul like your daddy
Got a smile like your momma's
Can't keep a woman if you can't keep a promise
