I Want It Back — текст песни (Shawn Colvin)

I lost the thread, I lost the map

Its not a feeling, its a fact

I had it once, I was on track

Why wont it stay? I want it back



I see you there in that magazine

Youre looking smart, you sound supreme

You got such lip, you know the street

You been around, you took some heat



You mighta killed, you might be cruel

You might be stupid but we love you

Youre in the paper, youre in the air

Youre in my head, youre everywhere



I want it back



Youre so extreme, youre feast or famine

You got one mission, just like a salmon

You said in life, mistakes are many

How come you never admit to any?



Are you for real or are you bluffing?

You really get me, famous for nothing

And every morning you got a name

In a world where people all look the same



I want it back



I cant give love, I dont know how

I write in code so you wont know

I was on drugs, I took a nap

I didnt mean it, I want it back



I dreamed again of paradise

I floated steady, it felt so nice

To sell your soul, just think of that

Im halfway there, I want it back



I want it back
