Wild Cookie Lyrics - Woman - Jill Scott

Hear ye hear ye 

Anybody that can listen, come listen 

Having faith in the rest of you 

Will be an amazing 

Awakening 

An ego-reshapening 

Pencil-sharpening, heart-mending a pride shifting 

And a cure to the Wild Cookie 

Now, Wild Cookie choices lead to lonely pregnancy 

And anybody that knows 

Knows that ain't all it could be 

Scuffling to make sense out of his missing presence 

In the current tense 

When the romance is gone 

Just paper and pen 

Infant and journal tear 

Private and public embarrassment 

The demise of a dreamer's dream 

A girl not so unlike me 

Sick with some shit that just shouldn't be 

'Cause her desire to be desired and his way would pee pee 

Oh, Wild Cookie 

Stop Now, count your blessings 

All these kids and the systems don't know where they are 

'Cause their momma and daddy done lef'em 

It's a pandemic 

Just the other day 

My girlfriend said she was watching TV 

And her Wild Cookie detached from it's seat 

And was strolling down a hundred twenty fifth yelling 

"somebody, anybody come get me!" 

She caught her Wild Cookie in between two parked cars 

With a foolish man enticing it with a candy bar 

Nameless prick 

Attached to some guy who just wanted to escape his troubles for a bit 

She cried aww Cookie, you got to work with me 

You can't rule my world 

You don't have no brain you ain't meant to lead you mean 

I mean you can get a couple of things 

But things are things 

And i deserve to feel my heart ring 

Come on in the house 

Come on now, Wild Cookie 

Let's listen to Jill sing
