So Far to Go Lyrics

[Part I: So Far to Go]

[Intro: D'Angelo]
Oh-oh
I wanna get closer to you, baby
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus: D'Angelo]
You have come so far
You've got so far to go
You have come so far
You've got so far to go


[Verse 1: Common]
Sweetheart, you know that you most
Important, at least on the West Coast, huh
I'm just trippin', it's somethin' about your throat
You think different and understand how I float
Got cribs on both Coasts
But I'm a Chicago-getter
You get down, but you ain't a golddigger
You got the soul with the figure to match
Your girlfriend said, "Yo, that dude is a catch"
Creative with the gifts, plus he hit it from the back, ugh
And places we ain't supposed to
We make the music—baby, you on the vocals
International lover, I never stay local
Go to places that you never been
Beautiful outside, even better when it's in
You have arrived, girl—you can come again, c'mon
[Chorus: D'Angelo]
You have come so far
You've got so far to go
(Say it again!)
You have come so far
You've got so far to go
(Oh-oh, yeah-yeah)
(Oh-oh)

[Verse 2: Common]
You sexy, I know brothers try to spit to you
But I'm the only one that can get to you
Lifting you, my drive is shifting you
I opened you free, it's like a gift to you
I truly am thickly and thankful
And as long I'm in your town, I'ma stay faithful
Hah, you know I can't escape you
No matter how far, you're still my star
You was there when the marks tried to steal my car
Snappin' with me, that's just how real you are
Sophisticated woman, you understand a man
You don't call all the time just to see where I am
Put a "G" in your hand, make sure you're livin' alright
Makin' love is me and I'ma give it all night
Turn over in the morning, make it warmer and better
Long as we can be, we can come together, c'mon
[Chorus: D'Angelo]
You have come so far
You've got so far to go
(I don't believe you heard me, baby)
You have come so far
You've got so far to go

[Bridge: D'Angelo]
Go on
Go on then
Go on
Go on, girl
Go on, go on
Go on, baby, go on, baby
Go on, baby, go on, baby
Go on, ah

[Chorus: D'Angelo]
You have come so far
You've got so far to go
(You know what I mean, baby)
You have come so far
You've got so far to go
You have come so far
You've got so far to go
(Yeah, yeah)
You have come so far
You've got so far to go
[Part II: Prelude]

[Instrumental: Hodge, Poyser & Riggins]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
