The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) is a U.S. Department of Defense joint services school located at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, offering both resident and off-site courses in areas including equal opportunity, intercultural communication, and religious, racial, gender, and ethnic diversity and pluralism to civilian and military personnel working with the American armed forces.
DEOMI was established in 1971 as the Defense Race Relations Institute (DRRI) based on lessons learned from the Civil Rights movement. Set against a national policy of inequality and segregation, and problems both in the civilian world and the military linked to racial tension and hostility, military leaders understood that working together across racial lines was not only the right thing to do but also a necessary element in terms of military readiness.
Consequently, an inter-service task force was convened to study "causes and possible cures of...disorders within the military." Chaired by Air Force Major General Lucius Theus, the task force resulted in Department of Defense Directive 1322.11, establishing the Race Relations Education Board, and led to the 1971 establishment of the DRRI at Patrick AFB, Florida, under the leadership of the first director, Col. Edward F. Krise, USA. In July 1979 the name was changed to the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, to reflect the growing array of issues included in DEOMI courses, including sexual harassment, sexism, extremism, religious accommodation, and anti-Semitism. More than 20,000 reserve and active duty military members and civilian employees of the American armed forces have graduated from DEOMI since its creation.
I sat outside your house today
Just thinkin' you'll never learn
It's like the time I packed your things
And dropped 'em off where you were
I know you love to wash your car
So I left it in the lake
They say the strongest part of love is called hate
(Do you feel like I should)
Sit around with your touch
And your smell on my couch
And your hair in my brush
I loved you too much
(Do you think that I should)
Move along, change my phone
Get it on, I'll be gone
Treat him wrong 'til the day
That someone loves me the same way
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I'm must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
I knew I heard it in your voice
Something was wrong with our date
I feel I didn't have the choice
My heart was not in the way
Found out that I'm up in the cut
Some chick was wearing my face
You're lucky I'm in a good mood
Or she'll lay
Do you know how it feels
Sittin' 'round, smellin' sheets
Feelin' down, watchin' Heat
But my friends where you been
I'm with her again
Do you think that it's cool
To rock the fool in my house
I put you out, you come back in
We fight again, nobody wins
And baby, you should know that this is it
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I'm must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I'm must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
Oh oh oh oh
Hey, ooh, yeah
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Sometimes you can't let go
Even when your heart says so
I have to let you see
Your love will never be
?? with me you see
Can't let you, just don't need
I tried to love you still
I now know how it feels
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I'm must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I'm must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
How am I supposed to feel?
(It says go, go, go)
I know you're no good for me)
(Go go, go go)
I must cite these lonely nights
(Beggin' you to do me right)
This time I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I'm must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time I just don't know
