Guarding The Gates - From "Queen & Slim: The Soundtrack"

Everybody, everybody wants to know
Where you're goin' to, what you're runnin' from
What you're goin' through, where you're comin' from
What you're goin' through, where you're comin' from
Everybody, everybody wants to know
What you're gonna do, where you're goin' to
'Cause they wanna come, where I'm showin' you
Yes, they wanna come, where I'm showin' you

All that you can be is a spectacle
Following after every single miracle
Watch them marvel at all the joy you have
But they're too important to have all the joy you have
What a tragedy, you can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
You can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
But I'm in love
Yes, I'm in love

Don't you wish you had real love?

Yes, I'm in love

Tryna fix myself for society
Tryna mix myself for society
But can you tell me, where is love in anxiety?
Can you tell me, where is love in anxiety?
What you say to me, I don't mind at all
What you say to me, I don't really care at all
'Cause I'm in love

Don't you wish you had real love?

I know you do
Yes, I'm in love

Watch them speculate on the life you live
Watch them try to hate all the love you give
All the love you give

Everybody, everybody wants to know
Where you're goin' to, 'cause they wanna come
Or so they think until they find the cost of it
'Til they find out, find out what you lost for it
And I'd do it all again
'Cause I found love
'Cause I found love

Don't you wish you had real love?
I know you do
Yes, I'm in love

Everybody, everybody wants to know
Where you're goin' to, what you're runnin' from
What you're goin' through, where you're comin' from
What you're goin' through, where you're comin' from
Everybody, everybody wants to know
What you're gonna do, where you're goin' to (Where you're goin' to)
'Cause they wanna come (Wanna come), where I'm showin' you (Showin' you)
Yes, they wanna come, where I'm showin' you (Showin' you)

All that you can be is a spectacle
Following after every single miracle (Miracle)
Watch them marvel at (Marvel at) all the joy you have (Joy you have)
But they're too important to have all the joy you have (To have all)
What a tragedy (Tragedy), you can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
You can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
But I'm in love
Yes, I'm in love

Don't you wish you had real love?
I know you do
Yes, I'm in love

So what you say to me, I don't even mind at all (What you say to me)
What you say to me, I don't even care at all (What you say to me, I don't even care)
'Cause I'm in love

Don't you wish you had real love?

I know you do
Don't you wish you had real love?

Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh

These broken thoughts are in my mind
Can't let them get down in me
Can't let them get down in there

These broken thoughts are in my mind
Can't let them get down in me
Can't let them get down in there
'Cause I need real love

I need real love

I'm guardin', guardin' the gates

Oh, I'm guardin' my gates
