The Suit That Won't Come Off Lyrics

Someone gotta go
Aah ah ah
Someone gotta go

Do you know how it feels
When you're standin' on the outside?
Everyday, on this, standin' on the outside
And I wanna come in
Lord I'm standin' on the outside
Do you know how it feels
When you're standin' on the outside?


(How do you sleep at night)
When you've stolen everything you have
I got to know how do you sleep at night
(How do you sleep at night)
Stolen everything that you have

Do you know how it feels
When you're standin' on the outside?
All my life, I been standin' on the outside
Get me comb without honey
When you're standin' on the outside?
Giving up feeling, when I'm standin' on the outside

But how do you sleep at night
(How do you sleep at nigh)
When you've stolen everything you have
Tell me how do you sleep at night
(How do you sleep at nigh)
When you know, when you know, when you know

Oh I gotta know
(How do you sleep at night)
How do you sleep at night
When you've stolen everything you have?
(How do you sleep at night)
How do you sleep at night
When you've stolen from me?

Do you know how it feels to be standin' on the outside?

Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz (born 1968), better known by his stage name Fantastic Negrito, is an African-American singer-songwriter whose music spans blues, R&B, and roots music. Negrito made a record deal with Prince's former manager, and later, in 1993, made another deal, this one with Interscope Records. On January 9, 1996, he released his first album, The X Factor, under the mononym Xavier. The album was released on Lexington House Records and distributed by Interscope. He was in a near-fatal car crash in 1999, which left him in a coma for three weeks; he has since said that he felt that this crash "released" him because Interscope terminated their contract with him, after which he resumed hustling. In 2007, he stopped making music, but he returned in 2014, describing his new musical style as "black roots music for everyone". In 2015, he won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. In 2016, his album The Last Days of Oakland was released on the Blackball Universe label. Negrito won his first Grammy in 2017, when The Last Days of Oakland received the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Read more on Last.fm.
