CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD
Incognito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's one of those days, and I need some distraction
I've gotta stop trying to be everything to everyone
I wish that I could turn the tables
'Cause this world's got me running round in circles

"I guess it would make it easier"
If I had someone to talk it over
[No doubt, no doubt]
"I guess it would make things easier"
If you were here right now

[Chorus]
I can't get you out of my head
Can't get you out of my head
I can't get you out of my head
Can't get you out of my head

It's hard to believe, you've been gone so long
And there I go again, am I wrong still holding on?
Sometimes I feel unable
To do the things that everyday people do

"I guess it doesn't make it easier"
That you still mean so much to me
"I guess it doesn't make it easier"
That I never did let you go

[Chorus]

They say time is the healer
There is a season for everything
For everything there is a reason
Got to learn to let go

I wish that I could turn the tables
'Cause this world's got me running round in circles





There I go again, am I wrong still holding on?

It’s 2023 and I still can’t get this song out of my head! 💋❤️🇵🇭

@lewismaiden6949

This song is one of the best. The main vocals and the chorus are amazing. I've been a fan of Incognito for over twenty years. One of the most creative and experimental music artists ever since Earth Wind and Fire and one of the most underrated music groups.

@ricardovieira6872

hi lewis ! this band from Detroit , Michigan ? hugs and greetings from Brazil

@flenine

It’s actually based in England, but the musicians are from all around, and the main composer is from Mauricio Islands

@bsharp1533

Let’s not forget how Maysa Leakes is underrated.
