LYRICS

Got My Groove Back

I’m thinking maybe this time, this time could be the one,
It’s been such a dreary winter baby for so long,
Then along you come , when not so long ago I prayed ,
For the universe to send some inspiration my way,
My soul is being saved ... my soul is being saved . . .
Don’t know if you’re here for long but I’d love you to stay.

You’re getting me back, back on the right track,
Now I got my, got my, got my groove back.

I’ve been blinded and exhausted and tired of goodbyes,
But when I’m with you I feel the past being put behind,
Then a long you came, when not so long ago I lacked,
What you’re giving to me now, now I got my groove back.
My soul is being saved, my soul is being saved,
Don’t know if you’re here for long but I’d love you to stay.

You’re getting me back, back on the right track,
Now I got my, got my, got my groove back.

Getting back, back on the right track,
Getting back, back on the right track,
Now I got my, got my, got my groove back.

Scents On Pillowcases

I, I like the way, like the way you do things for me,
And it’s not an effort for you,
Quite like your honesty,
I , I like the things , like the things that make you smile,
So if you don’t mind I might stay here for a while.

You leave traces, funny places,
Crannies and nooks,
Scents on pillowcases, funny places,
And there’s your hook, there’s your hook.

I , I like the way , the way you fix my broken things,
What I’m not so fond of is your bite that stings,
I like that when I ran you ran faster and you caught me,
You better watchout, you better watchout,
Might feel like nesting shortly.

You leave traces, funny places,
Crannies and nooks,
Scents on pillowcases, funny places,
And there’s your hook, there’s your hook.
There’s your hook, never will be mistook,
(Calvin Klein, Calvin Klein)
There’s your hook, never will be mistook,
Leaves with me, sweet memories,
Sweet memories,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

The Fall

So I’m taking it like a sucker,
And I wonder baby if you love her,
While I’m watching you look at others,
Right in front of me.
Now I’m wondering what I’m gonna do,
Don’t insult me ’cos you don’t have to,
Can make a fool without help from you,
Of myself completely,
You are beautiful, you are cruel,
Bet you’ve broken, so many, a fool.

I’ll fall now, but I’ll come back stronger,
I’ll fall now, your fall will take longer,
And regret my dear, when I’ve shed my tears,
I’ll fall now, but I’ll come back stronger.

You’ve done something what’s the bet,
Done something you regret,
Now there’s really nothing left, for you and I,
I know without you telling me,
I don’t have to have seen,
You with somebody not me, I recognise the lie,
You are gentle, you are scathing,
You truly are, quite amazing.

This is the fall baby, this is the fall,
This is the fall baby, this is the fall,
I was to keep coming back for more,
Until the fall I was destined for.

Play A Little Game

My minds at ease, I’ve no,
No worries or cares,
A little excess baggage,
Or just across to bare,
Someone to take such pleasure,
In my misfortune,
But give it until Monday,
You’ll be back here beggin’ at me soon,
Somethin’s up with that, so just watch me while I don’t care,
I got some moves to make, so don’t stop me they’re over there.

I got some moves, got some moves to make,
Play a little game you know what’s at stake,
Play a little game,
I got some mo-o-ves to make.

I’ve attitude and lots of it,
So don’t ruin my night,
It doesn’t happen often and I,
Don’t need your shite,
Someone to be around,
Just to put me back in my place,
I may be all out of second chances,
A chance you’re too willing to take,
I’m walking away so just watch me, from a bad place,
I got some moves to make, and they’re all about a better space.

I got some moves, got some moves to make,
Play a little game you know what’s at stake,
Play a little game,
I got some mo-o-ves to make,
I got some moves, got some.
I got some moves, got some,
Play a little game,
I got some mo-o-ves to make.

Dum da da da dum, da da da da da dum,
Dum dum da da da da da dum.

What I Got

Feel as though I broke you,
So sorry I hurt your heart,
But I have to tell you now,
I was honest from the start,
I never gave you false hope,
Don’t lie and say I did,
All I ever gave was all I had and that was it.
I knew you wanted more,

Here it is, here it is, what I got,
Can I help it, if you like it a lot.

So this is what it’s come to,
And hard is how I am,
But if I’m gonna get through to you,
It’s the only way I can,
I know you seek something from me,
You keep coming back,
I don’t know what it is,
But I feel the regret you have,
I knew you wanted more,
You always wanted more,

Here it is, here it is, what I got,
Can I help it, if you like it a lot.
Here it is, here it is, what I got,
Can I help it, if you like it a lot.

It’s myself I’m kicking now ’cos I let,
How where it got it could get,
I see what’s going on and it’s wrong,
And I think I knew all along.
