Lyrics

Back to the Beat

Well it goes like this
A little ditty begins
And at first there is nothing but a beat
And it starts down at my feet
At my toes and it goes to
My legs start movin
And before I know the groove just
Shoots up straight through my body
And I am yearning for the ...

Then I add some words about my baby
I need to make you understand
The difficult situation that I?m facin
Oh what I got on my hands
She demands and demands and demands

So why don?t I leave this woman?
Well I?ve asked myself that question
Time and time and time again
Why don?t I leave this woman?
Well I?ve asked myself that question
But if I did that we?d be back to the beat

Then I sneak through the door
About a quarter of 4
And she?s there and she knows where I have been
And she tells me I have sinned
And that I?m a bad boy
You see, I have kept her waiting
And now she is mad I will pay for it
And I said but:
?I have been writing a song about you and it?s true?
I said but:
?I have been writing a song about how you are cruel
So cruel, so??

So why don?t I leave this woman?
Well I?ve asked myself that question
Time and time and time again
Why don?t I leave this woman?
Well I?ve asked myself that question
But if I did that we?d be back to the beat

Well I know that she?s my girl
I love our life together
It?s so much better than I think
At least that?s what she tells me
When she?s around
But I will get it when she?s down
I will get it when she?s down

So why don?t I leave this obsession
Why can?t I put it down?
Why don?t I leave these songs in my head?
Why don?t I leave this?
Cause if I did that now
And if I did that we?d be back to the?

We?d be back to the beat
