"Assignment Sequence"
Hendin
The assignment the assignment okayNot too loud now not too loudThe song is called the assignmentTalks about the lover's gapTha gap between loversEspecially in marriage and other forms
Bouncing off your wallTha pathways of my mindAre on their wayAnother way for today
You want me to see youBaby I cannot see youYou want me to come for youI cannot come for youCos you wany an assignmentI see no concession
Sall I hang my head with yours and be blue
Send alway laughter and funSpend all my time thinking about youDon't you know there are things I can't do for you
My mind is on it's wayAnother way for todayMy spirit is so foreignYou want silenceMy spirit I'd taking flight nowBut baby you're in a moodAnd you wanna cry tonight now
Shall I hang my head with yours and be blueThat's what you want me to doSend away laughter and funSpend my time cryingTrying to please you
Oh don't you knowThere are things I can't do for youMy mind is on it's wayAnother way now for today
