Lyrics Stitched Up - Herbie Hancock

Stitched Up

Exactly how you hear it, is exactly how it all went down…
It was later in the evening
That the facts and the figures got turned around
True, there was a woman
Yes, she did advance my way
And I can’t be sure exactly but I swear I saw her say my name
It was the right time
She was the real thing
I had to walk away
(See) Don’t wanna be, stitched up out of my mind
Feeling strung out, laggin' behind
All trapped in, can’t do a thing because I’m
Locked down
Stitched up, feeling the burn
All strung out, I finally learn that
Trapped in, can’t do a thing because I’m
Locked down
I wonder where she came from
I wonder where she’s gotta go Who’s to say she’s single
And who’s to say she’s on her own
Girls like that don’t sleep alone
(Alright here’s the thing, here’s the thing)
That girl is flawless, and I know I’m not the first one to think that
And since I’m not the first, I sure won’t be the last
I’d spend my whole life looking behind my back
I just don’t think I’m up to that
Stitched up, out of my mind
Feeling strung out, laggin' behind
All trapped in, can’t do a thing because I’m
Locked down
Stitched up, feeling the burn
All strung out, I finally learn that
Trapped in you can’t do a thing because you’re
Locked down
Stitched up, out of my mind
Feeling strung out, laggin' behind
All trapped in, I can’t do a thing because I’m
Locked down
Stitched up, feeling the burn
All strung out, I finally learn that
Trapped in you can’t do a thing because you’re
Locked down
Locked down
Stitch me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
Stitch me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
I don’t wanna be Stitch me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
Stitch me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
Because I’m down and down and down (Ooo)
