O, presently I'm standing Here right now You're so demanding Tell me what you want from meConcluding Concentrating on my music, lover, and my babies Makes me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town So can I get a window seatDon't want nobody next to me I just want a ticket outta town A look around And a safe touch downWindow seat Don't want nobody next to me I just want a chance to fly A chance to cryAnd a long bye bye But I need you to want me Need you to miss me I need your attentionI need you next me I need someone to clap for me I need your direction Somebody say come backCome back baby come back I want you to need me Come back come back baby come back Come back come back baby come backCome back come back baby come back So, in my mind I'm tusslin' Back and forth 'tween here and hustlin' I don't wanna time travel no moI wanna be here I'm thinking On this porch I'm rockin' Back and forth light Lightning HopkinsIf anybody speak to Scotty Tell him beam me up So can I get a window seat Don't want nobody next to meI just want a ticket outta town A look around And a safe touch down Window seatDon't want nobody next to me I just want a chance to fly A chance to cry And a long bye byeBut I need you to miss me Need somebody come get me Need your attention Need your energy yes I doNeed someone to clap for me Need your affection Somebody say come back Come back baby come backI want u to need me Come back come back baby come back Come back come back baby come back Come back come back baby come backBut can I get a window seat Don't want nobody next to me I just want a ticket outta town A look aroundAnd a safe touch down I just need a chance to fly A chance to cry And a longBye bye
Window Seat
produced by Erykah Badu and James Poyser.
Vibe.com: I need your attention…I need you to miss me," she pleads to a lover on the throwback soul groove that's driven by a live jazz bassline (a theme throughout New Amerykah Pt. II) that could have been plucked straight off Baduizm.
Rap-Up.com: “I don’t want to time travel anymore. I want to be right now, right here,” Badu states while The Roots’ ?uestlove plays the drums and James Poyser strokes the keys. Being in the moment is one challenge of the song, on which she wishes for “a window seat for a ticket out of town to look around.” It also seems that the “Tyrone” hitmaker is looking for an escape, “a chance to fly, a chance to cry.”
ShowingOut.com: “Window Seat” kicks up the pace into a thick, rich drum groove, paralleling the best of early neo-soul Erykah with its chalky bongo hits and sultry vocals. On the track, she sings, “But I need you to want me / And I need you to miss me / I need your attention / I need you next to me / I need someone to clap for me” before defiantly cooing on the chorus, “Can I get a window seat? / Don’t want nobody next to me.” The track ends with a sudden psychedelic smear of noise.
