Lyrics of 'Love Sick' by Gang Starr

Verse 1

Strangely enough Ive been struck
Affected by her smile
And yo, her style is worthwhile
And knowing that Im deep like a river
I feel I should give her
Things that those others cant deliver
Contrary to what I had wished
It seems that Ive been dissed
But hey, I dont want to miss this
Wonderful opportunity
My boys they try schoolin me
But see I know what I want
Someone wholl be there for the whole nine
This honey is so fine
But now shes hung up the line
Upset because I told her Im busy
She made like a grizzly
And started chewin my head off
Screamin that I spend more time with friends
And also, she said I ruined her weekend
I said I know the stuff we had planned
But please understand
Right now Im loungin with my man
I guess I didnt realize Id hurt her
She said I had the nerve to
Just neglect her like that
Then she started bringing up past things
And she kept asking
How come our love isnt lasting
I said, hey baby, please calm down
Cuz Im still around
And its for you that my heart pounds
Can I call you later on?
You say I treat you wrong?
But why you flippin on me?
She said something else and then click
Left me alone on the phone with the tone
And now Im lovesick

Verse 2

Relationships can grip with the pain
Arguments in the crib, in the streets, on the train
Im crazy fed but then still
When she aint there I feel sad, I feel ill
Frowning cuz Im down in the dumps
The other night I took her out
So she could shake her rump
But after we were there for a few
Some girls that I knew
Stepped up and asked me to come to
A party they were havin at their house
I looked at my girl, and yo, she started walkin out
I said hey love, just wait for a second
And wont you just check it?
Its all a part of makin records
Those were just some friends in the business
No need to get angry
So listen up while I kick this
And what about the things we discussed
About havin trust?
Whats all this attitude stuff?
Now hon, you know that I wouldnt play you
But time after time, you let your jealousy sway you
Hey dont you turn your back like that
Come on, this is wack
Youre heated up like a thermostat
Then she stepped off in a whirlwind
And I dont know when
Or if Im gonna see her again
I coulda sworn she was the right one to pick
But now...man Im just lovesick
