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!!!

Artist: Erykah Badu
Song title: In love with you
Album: Mama's Gun

The chords used are: Am Dm, then Em Am during chorus
(Steven Marley's part)

Ooh, ooh yea, ooh yea (he and Erykah scat)
Am                Dm
And she says she needs more than a friend
Am               Dm
That's all I've ever been
Am               Dm
Well one day you gon' understand
           Am          Dm      
(scatting) yo ba du ba dib la du din de de 
Am              Dm
I remember the first time that we met
Am        Dm      
How could I forget?
Am                  Dm
When you smiled and I turned and I said to you 
Am       Dm  
Yo, you pure and true

Chorus:
Em                    Am                Em                Am
I'm in love with you, in love with you, in love with you, in love with you
Em                    Am                Em                Am
I'm in love with you, in love with you, in love with you, in love with you

yea
Am              Dm            Am                     Dm         Am  
Now I'm so in love, baby, and I don't care what your mama say, standing in 
Dm             Am                      Dm
love, baby, and I don't care what your sister say (scatting)
Am Dm Am Dm 
(spoken)I need you

(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

Chorus:
I'm in love with you, love with you, love with you, love with you, 
Love with you, love with you, I'm in love with you, love with you, uh
I'm so in love, baby, I don't care what your brother say,
I'm so in love, baby, I don't care what the people say,

(Steven comes in and sings alone..)
Em              Am      Em          Am
Well I try, and I try, and I try, and I try

(Erykah joins him)

Well I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, eh

(Steven alone)

And you say you need more than a friend
That's all I've ever been, yo
Well one day you gon' understand
yo ba du ba de la du din de de

(Erykah alone)

And when I look in your eyes and know that you were meant to be
My soldier, so baby c'mon, I mean it desperately
