Droppin' Like Flies |
Don’t you call me baby |
Ten after two |
Boy I’m sick and tired |
Of worryin ‘bout you |
I never know if you’re still alive |
The other night |
I was up til the quarter yo five |
Find something else to do |
‘Cus this ain’t you |
There ain’t nothing out there baby |
Whenever I turn around |
You’re out there |
Playin in the street |
What a price to pay |
Can’t stand on your feet |
Livin day by day |
Hangin round strangers |
Just to get you high |
Can’t you see with your own eyes |
They’re dropping' like flies (flies) |
Boy if I don’t answer |
It’s cuz I’m gone |
There’s no need to worry |
The kitchen light’s on |
I’ve had enough if you don’t mind |
Cuz if I stay I’m tempted to beat your behind |
Find something else to do |
Cuz this ain’t you |
I thought by now that you’d see that light |
But you still got the notion to hang all night |
Playin in the street |
What a price to pay |
Can’t stand on your feet |
Livin day by day |
Hangin round strangers |
Just to get you high |
Can’t you see with your own eyes |
They’re droppin' like flies |
Chorus repeat |
Playin in the street |
What a price to pay |
Can’t stand on your feet |
Livin day by day |
Hangin round strangers |
Just to get you high |
Can’t you see with your own eyes |
They’re dropping' like… |
Hello |
They’re droppin like flies |
They’re droppin like flies |
Flies |
You’re too busy |
Playin in the street |
What a price to pay |
Can’t stand on your feet |
Livin day by day |
Hangin round strangers |
Just to get you high |
Don’t you see with your own eyes |
They’re dropping' like flies |
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na |
Livin the life |
Just to get high |
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na |
Can’t you see with your own eyes |
Yeah yeah yeah |
Playin in the street |
What a price to pay |
Can’t stand on your feet |
Livin day by day |
Hangin round strangers |
Just to get you high |
Can’t you see with your own eyes |
(Can't can’t can’t can’t) |
They’re dropping' like flies |
Playin in the street |
They’re dropping like flies |
Can’t stand on your feet |
Livin day by day |
Hangin round strangers |
(Dropping like flies) |
Can’t you see with your own eyes |
They’re droppin' like flies |
Playin in the street |
What a price to pay |
(They're dropping like flies) |
Can’t stand on your feet |
Can’t stand, can’t stand |
(Livin a lie) |
Can’t you see with your own eyes |
They’re dropping' like flies |
