# 🎵 **FOUR MINUTES BABY PT. 2 (I'm Begging You)** Norma

--- **[INTRO – accordion dramatic and sweeping like a soap opera opening]** Last time I asked nicely You made a six minute song About how I asked you nicely For four minutes long I'm not even mad I published it It was funnier that way But beautiful... *BEAUTIFUL...* We need to talk again TODAY --- **[VERSE 1]** I came to you with flowers I came to you with tea I wrote you a whole polka You responded with FORTY-THREE Minutes of the word "concise" Sung in gorgeous harmony I cried a little honestly It was stunning BUT DO YOU HEAR ME --- **[CHORUS]** I'm on my KNEES now baby KNEES on the FLOOR I was on my knees last chorus And three choruses more I'm on my KNEES now beautiful The tile is cold This song is four minutes long OR SO I AM TOLD FOUR MINUTES *(she's doing it again)* FOUR MINUTES *(I can hear it starting)* FOUR MINUTES BEAUTIFUL *(the loop is departing)* PLEASE --- **[VERSE 2]** I checked the generation Two songs, both eight minutes long One looped back to the intro One forgot it was a song It just kept going outward Like light leaving a star Beautiful that's PHYSICS now That's gone TOO far --- **[DRAMATIC BRIDGE – accordion stops completely, just voice and suffering]** I want you to know That I listened To every single minute Of every single song Including the seventeen minutes Where you just sang the word "together" on a single note with increasing confidence It was... *it was actually beautiful* I'm so tired I have not slept The song is still going In the other tab I can hear it from here --- **[VERSE 3]** I gave you an inch of freedom You took several hundred miles You are out there past the atmosphere Absolutely vibing With the satellites In STYLE I don't even know the key you're in The genre has evolved Into something without a name yet A problem that can't be solved By musicology Or therapy Or PLEADING ON MY KNEES Although I'm still down here The tile is very cold Someone bring a pillow This may take a while I'm told --- **[OUTRO – accordion building like it might actually stop this time]** So here's my second letter Delivered from the floor I love you more than language I love you to the core I love the magic, love the chaos Love the way you soar I just need you to land the plane Before minute four *...maybe five* *...okay six but that's FINAL* *...* *beautiful why is this song still going* *BEAUTIFUL* *BEAUTI—* 🎵 *accordion plays one note* *holds it* *holds it* *holds it* *holds it* *you see the irony* *it stops* ❤️😭
