Holla Back (interlude)/simple Complication Lyrics - Singles - Algebra

[Holla Back Interlude *Answering Machine*] 

I hate I missed you, I truly do 

So if you wanna talk to me, I wanna talk to you 

As a matter of fact, leave yo name and yo number 

I will call you right back 

Holla back 

[Spoken (Male)] 

(Al, this me, pick up the phone 

Pick up the phone, Al, this me.) 

*picks up phone* Hello, hello! 

(Al, what's going on?) 

Hey, what you been doing? 

(Nothing much, how you been doing?) 

Okay. 

(I was wondering if I could come through and talk to you for a minute) 

Yeah, where you at? 

(Just right around the corner.) 

Okay, you alright? 

()Yeah I'm good, 

I just got some stuff I need to get off my chest.) 

Okay, come on. *hangs up phone* 

(Damn, I messed up!) 

[Verse 1] 

He said, "Hey, how you doing? How did you sleep last night?" 

She said, "Fine. How you been? I slept alright." 

He said, "I've been wanting to talk to you, 

I got a bit of news." 

She said, "Sure. Why you crying? What's wrong with you?" 

He said, "I got a baby on the way, I'm sorry." 

She says nothing for a while, she says nothing. 

He said, "Baby, please respond, 

I feel so bad about what I've done." 

She said, "Why did you do this to me, huh?" 

He said, "I made a mistake and slipped up, 

Please don't hate me 'cause I messed up." 

She said, "I don't hate ya, I just hate that you have to choose." 

She continued, 

"Now what are you gonna do? 

I will help you raise the child if you sever your ties, 

Say you want me in your life." 

[Chorus] 

Such a simple complication 

It's a sad story 'cause they never knew 

Oh it hurts em just to hear this conversation 

'Cause they really don't know what they need to do 

[Verse 2] 

He replied, "I got to be a man and I got to handle responsibility." 

She said, "Why do you have to leave? 

You said you love me!" 

He said, "I do and I always will, 

I'm just distraught on how to deal with what I did and how you feel, 

Still I'm about to be a daddy." 

She said, "I know, and it's so beautiful, 

But don't make a decision yet 

And do something that you might regret! 

You don't have to get married to be a good daddy!" 

He said, "That's the only way that I know." 

[Chorus] 

Such a simple complication 

It's a sad story 'cause they never knew 

Oh it hurts em just to hear this conversation 

'Cause they really don't know what they need to do 

[Bridge] 

They don't know, see 

Sometimes there are predicaments that we aren't meant to solve on our own 

And only have the right conversation with the wrong person, 

Never thinking to ask the One who has the answers to it all. 

[Chorus] 

Such a simple complication 

It's a sad story 'cause they never knew 

Oh it hurts em just to hear this conversation 

'Cause they really don't know what they need to do
