In Love With You Erykah Badu
Here are the lyrics and chords to a great Erykah Badu piece. This song is a
male/female duet with Steven Marley (I believe) I marked all the parts he and
Erykah share and sing alone, you may want to listen to the song on the album
to get a real feel of it, he does some kind of scatting in his verse and at
the end with Erykah.....ENJOY!!!

(Erykah's verse)
He said he's really diggin me, I don't know what to say
I can't imagine why I feel, so weak, say, say
That's when he took my heart in his hands
And kissed it gently, he opened up his lips
Then said his poetry

Love with you, love with you, I'm in love with you, love with you, uh
