Your Boyfriend Guess where your boyfriend was last night? I bet he wasn’t answering his phone Had you wondering if he’d come home Well I think it’s time you know Guess where your boyfriend was last night He was standing on my front porch He was ringing up my door Just like he’d done 9 times before And he begged me, to let him in Hollering that he was a changed man Said this time would be different Naively I believed him Guess what your boyfriend said last night That he came around to reminisce, honey He missed the was we used to kiss, Ya see Back when I was his Guess what your boyfriend said last night He’d been stalking my status on Facebook Said I’m like a drug and he’s hooked Then he gave me that old slick look And He told me he was unattached Said, baby, there’s no one else Then he moved in for the kill I felt a chill run down my back Ladies Don’t trust Him Don’t let him in You’ve got to put him out Like the Dog he is And when your boyfriend left last night I did some checking of my own Found out he was never alone He’d been playing me all along Now don’t get it twisted I’m not the one who missed him He lied on his own, I’m just another victim This information is long overdue But I swear it, I didn’t know about you He’ll never change his dirty ways Ulterior motives, that's the game he plays Ladies Don’t trust Him Don’t let him in You’ve got to put him out Like the Dog he is Guess Where Your Boyfriend Was Last night.

Trying to Remember Didn’t you used to call me Call me Baby? And didn’t you used to pick up your phone when I rang? Now wasn’t there a time when I used to Used to trust you? Now here you are begging me To come back to you I’m trying to remember ( when you were good to me) I’m trying to remember ( the way that I used to feel) I’m trying to remember ( A time when our love was real) But Right now all I wanna do Is forget I know you used to be the kind of man I could count on But somewhere along these 3 years 2 months and 5 days we went wrong You’ve been hiding things and lying and you got me questioning everything Now you’re standing here promising me you’re going to change, I don’t know what to think. I’m trying to remember ( when you were good to me) I’m trying to remember ( the way that I used to Feel) I’m trying to remember ( A time when our love was real) But Right now all I wanna do Is forget I invested my soul Get my mind right is what I owe seems I’m at a crossroad and I don’t know which way to go I’m trying to remember ( when you were good to me) I’m trying to remember ( the way that I used to feel) I’m trying to remember ( A time when our love was real)

Want Me Too 03:45
Want me Too Just last May I Passed a very handsome man Along my way Our eyes met And he smiled Oh the rest is history Now I Couldn’t be happier Everywhere I go There are flowers He holds my hand oh he understands me And every night he’s singing to me (what he says) Chorus: I want you, I need you, I love you Do you love me too? V2: We went walking by the river I got ahead just a little way I turned around his knee was on the ground I said baby did you fall, He said yes he fell for me Now we’re going to the chapel And we’re gonna get married And I can’t believe It’s happened to me I know it sounds cliché and it makes me I feel silly But every night for the rest of my life he’ll be singing to me Chorus repeat

His Game 04:21
His Game Darling, you know you got me Twisted up inside Baby, you know just what to say To bring me to my knees Chorus: I love him And I need him Why does he torture me so? I know he don’t Love me No he’s just playing But lord knows I love His Game Sugar sweet thing, why do you do All the cruel things you do to me See I’m begging Yes I’m down on my knees Won’t you just do right be me I love you And I need you Why do you torture me so I know you don’t love me You’re just playing But lord know I love your game Bridge: I just can’t help myself, and I know it aint’ right Got willpower all day long, Till he calls me up at night But my heart is growing stronger, And you’re running out of time So won’t you straighten up baby and tell me you mine Chorus: I love him And I need him Why does he torture me so? I know he don’t Love me No he’s just playing But lord knows I love His Game Yes only lord know, yes I love his game

Wicked 03:09
Wicked Something wicked this way comes The first time you laid eyes on him He was wearing black Armani He looked like a movie scene Drinking dirty martinis He smiled at you in the mirrored bar When he caught you watching Now His attention is yours and you feel lucky But you’ll be sorry He’s wicked, he’ll break your heart A tangled web he’ll weave, and you’ll be caught He flip ya and then he’ll slip ya He’s wicked, but you like it Hypnotizing, little line schemes say you’re so Pretty pretty pretty pretty Like he read your mind, he knows just what to say But when you look away he’ll be on his blackberry He blows in the a thunderstorm One that shakes you all night He’ll pull your hair just right Then be gone with morning light Bridge: Love is just his game Your hearts the currency If you won’t walk away I suggest you learn to play Chorus

Better Off 03:01
Better Off Now Let me tell you a story I’m gonna tell you something true It’s been 49 days And I ain’t never thought about you Don’t ya come around here Trying to get me to miss you I put that song to rest Cuz baby we’re through C: See I’m doing just fine without you in my life And I’m Better off without you You did me wrong You know you did And nothing you can say or do Is gonna make me forget it So get acquainted with the back of this door Cuz you ain’t never coming through You had it wrong thinking when you left That I’d be blue, all right C: See I’m doing just fine without you in my life And I’m Better off without you You held me down yes Trying to lord all my time Let me tell ya something baby You can’t shade my light Since you’ve been gone I never shined so bright Now You can see my glitter like a star in the night See I’m doing just fine without you in my life I’m doing just fine without you in my life See I’m doing just fine without you in my life And I’m Better off without you

Shed 03:28
Shed Oops I didn’t know that you were so Sensitive that I couldn’t tell you All of the ways you screwed up, Our relationship Guess I didn’t notice you growing Some new emotions and losing your backbone But I wouldn’t recognize what I’ve never seen Before So don’t you point you finger at me I’ll give up my silence to find some relief You had you chance to make your amends But you didn’t take it Chorus So I’m gonna shed All these emotions I’ve been wearing around Gonna shed all your lying skin It’s just weighing me down Weighing me down Thought I cleaned my blood of your venom Yet here you are still spreading your poison The face you don’t show is the one that I know All too well With all of your colors you like to fool them but Never again will I be your victim Now I am your mirror reflecting to you your Fiction Don’t you point you finger at me I’ll give up my silence to find some relief You had you chance to make your amends But you didn’t take it Chorus So I’m gonna shed All these emotions I’ve been wearing around Gonna shed all your lying skin It’s just weighing me down Weighing me down

Can’t Take Anymore You tell me its in my head But I can’t hear what you’re saying I see your lips move But I’ve gone deaf to the game that you’re spittin Now you ain’t gotta lie I can see it in your eyes C: So you can just leave (just leave) I don’t want you anymore You can go (just go) Get yourself another girl Cuz I took all I can take And I can’t take anymore You say she means nothing to you And that I’m acting crazy That clever act is a tactic That just won’t work on me Now don’t look so surprised I can see through all your lies Chorus Now you must be some kind of fool to mess with me I thought I told ya, you know I told ya This isn’t just some kind of democracy I operate on a one strike policy Chorus

Other Woman 03:54
Other Woman Another Time maybe we, Baby we could’ve been good I know you ain’t free To treat me like you should I’m never gonna be ok With second place So if you can’t give me all your time and loving Then baby, you ain’t gonna get me Now I like all the things you’re saying But you can count me out, of the games that you’re playing I know it’s hard to stop something you began But I’ll never be your other woman I know you think you mean All the things you’re saying I heard through the grapevine That you got another woman on the side I don’t know who you think I am But I don’t share my man with anyone If you can't tell me I’m your one and only then baby You got to let me be Now I like all the things you’re saying But you can count me out of the games that you’re playing I know it’s hard to stop something you began But I’ll never be your other woman I'm never gonna be your other woman

They Always Come Back Baby girl, I know you’re feeling Like he took your world, and left you defeated Well Save your tears, you ain’t need em' It’s a fact they may leave But they always come back They Always come back All those emotions are gonna grow dusty, you’ll see And you’re gonna find another love in your life, trust me That’s about the time he’ll be calling you up at night saying baby baby forgive me Now you see that, it’s a fact they may leave but they always come back Just when you forget the curves of his face, That when he'll be showing up late night at your place Saying he heard you were looking great So he thought he’d stop by Just in case No Darling darling Don’t you forget it He had his chance But he failed ya He realized it’s never gonna be as good as he had it And that’s why, that’s why They always come back Baby girl, I know you’re feeling Like he took your world, and left you defeated Well Save your tears, you ain’t need em' It’s a fact they may leave But they always come back They Always come back

Your Presence Your Presence, Surrounds me I feel you Within these walls Your scent lingers On my pillow I swear I see you In the shadows And I can’t breathe I said I can’t breathe Because your presence Is suffocating All the lonely nights I prayed in vain Asking why But no answer came I felt the pain Lord I never felt that kind of pain I tried to rest my weary head But no sleep ever came All those cruel shadows Keep showing me your face And it feels like I’ll go insane And It makes me wonder Did I bring this on myself Will I ever be whole again Well I guess, only time will tell And now Your Presence Is all that you left me Oh and now your presence Feels like a disease

about

Ingrid Gerdes Boston, Massachusetts

Boston soul singer Ingrid Gerdes’ gospel-meets-R&B voice has earned
her more than one comparison to greats like Irma Thomas and Mavis
Staples, and the title of her new album, High Priestess, helps conjure images of a vocalist trained in a Mississippi Delta choir loft, spending
Sundays praising the Lord and raising the roof.
