Anika Noni Rose - Duets No One Waitin Lyrics

[NOAH]
Bedtime, then

[NOAH & THE MOON]
It's time for dreams

[THE RADIO]
No one waiting to warm the dark
No one hoping that I'll wear red
No one wanting to spark my spark
No one needing
Needing to share my bed

[CAROLINE, spoken & THE RADIO]
Don't break promises, Emmie (Nobody's arms)
Do like you say you do
Don't give yourself options (To cradle my head)
Most folks lives without them
Most folks does without (To talk about new)

[THE RADIO]
Talk about views
Talk about change
'Bout the President's dead
'Bout how the day went
[EMMIE, spoken & THE RADIO]
Lost track of time, Mama, sorry (Or how time flown)
Aunt Claudia say she'd mind the children (Or life been spent)
Say she don't mind minding thеm (Or I'm all alone)
Sorry, Mama, I was out
Being shiftless, having fun

[CAROLINE, spoken]
What kind of fun?

[EMMIE]
You rеmember fun, Mama
Out at the parking lot
Longside the A&W
Bunch of us talking
Dancing to the radio

[CAROLINE, spoken]
The President's dead!

[EMMIE]
I know
The radio play music anyway

[EMMIE & THE RADIO]
Just some old white man
Sent Larry off to Vietnam
Sorry he dead
[EMMIE]
I ain't killed him

[CAROLINE, spoken]
I'm too tired to fight
You don't do me right
I can't do with no daughters as shiftless as you

[EMMIE]
Just some old white man
Don't care about the black man

[CAROLINE, spoken]
Emmie Thibodeaux!
Since when you say "black man"?
You say colored or Negro like you was raised up to

[EMMIE]
Say he do stuff for us
To get our vote
He just ignore us

[EMMIE & THE RADIO]
Same old story, Mama
Same tired old lie
[EMMIE]
If you got to do it, Mama
Go ahead and cry
I ain't got no tears to shed
For no dead white guy

[THE RADIO]
Free, free, lonesome and free

[CAROLINE & THE RADIO]
Go on and get yourself to bed, girl (No one pacing)
Who ever put a mouth like that on you? (The floor for me)
I know I didn't do it, God didn't do it (Flower don't need)
Some days I don't know what I'm gonna do (No honeybee)

[EMMIE, spoken & THE RADIO]
How your knees today? (If free mean misery)

[CAROLINE & THE RADIO]
They fine, go on to sleep (That's what I be)
Don't wake up the baby (Ain't nobody's baby, ain't property)
Say prayers for us all (Got nothing I own)
Give your mama a kiss ('Cept being alone)
Apologize to God for being such an unholy priss (Free)
And a caution and a sass (And lonely)
'Fore your mama whups your—
