Writing On The Wall

Anthony Hamilton · Back To Love [2011]

People talking 'bout how you runnin' 'round,

Wylin' up, how you been livin' life

Said you steppin' out

I tell you, I just can't complain

Got me feeling good, girl you feed me good

They've got you misunderstood

I'm wishin' they wouldn't try and mess up everything



[Hook]

See the writing on the wall,

I'm too afraid to call, I don't wanna listen

I don't wanna listen no, no

People talking everywhere,

When the smoke begin to clear

I don't wanna listen, but I hear...



They call you Hollywood, Mrs. Hollywood

Tarnish your name and drag it out through the hood

I don't wanna go, traveling down this dusty road

Mind your business, if she ain't or if she is, I don't wanna know

I'm gonna keep holding on



[Hook]

See the writing on the wall,

I'm too afraid to call, I don't wanna listen

I don't wanna listen no, no

People talking everywhere,

When the smoke begin to clear

I don't wanna listen, oh but I hear



Everything

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright...

I don't wanna hear that

It's my life, it's my life...

And I'm grown

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright baby

It's my life...

Cause I'm grown



[Hook w/adlibs]

See the writing on the wall,

I'm too afraid to call, I don't wanna listen

I don't wanna hear nothing, nothing, nothing from no one

People talking everywhere,

When the smoke begin to clear

I don't wanna listen, I don't wanna hear a thing no



See the writing on the wall,

I'm too afraid to call, I don't wanna listen

I don't wanna hear it, it, it

People talking everywhere,

When the smoke begin to clear

I don't wanna listen



I don't wanna listen

To nothing from no one

Writing On The Wall
