Stuck To You
Nikka Costa Lyrics

If you a star
If you're successful or famous

I be your milky way
I'll be your support system, your galaxy of stars

If you a bar
If you're a place where people gather

I drink up everyday
I enjoy spending time with you

If you the town
If you're the center of attention

I be the talk
I'll be the topic of discussion

If you the talk
If you're speaking well or negatively about something

Baby I be the walk
I'll be the action, the movement, the result of the talk

If you wanna dig
If you're trying to find something valuable

I be your gold baby
I'll be your treasure, your reward

If you wanna live
If you're trying to survive or thrive

I be your old age
I'll be the years of life and experience

You be the time
You define the moments that pass

I be the clock
I'll be the constant reminder of time's passing

You be the tick
You'll be the sound or movement indicating time's passage

I be the tock
I'll be the measure of time's passage

If you wanna race
If you want to compete to achieve something

I run like crazy
I'm willing to work very hard for your goals

If you wanna ride
If you need transportation

I drive ya daily
I'll be the one getting you to where you need to be

If you a beach
If you're a place of relaxation and fun

I be the sand
I'll be the malleable foundation on which you rest

You wanna give
If you want to be charitable or help others

I be your hand
I'll be the one helping you, lending support

If you a case
If you're in legal trouble

I be a jury
I'll be the judge of your situation

If you a sin
If you did something morally wrong

I be your mercy
I'll forgive you and be understanding of your situation

If you a beat
If you're a piece of music

I be the moves
I'll be the embodiment of your music, your dancer

If you a tree
If you're rooted in something strong and established

Baby I be the roots
I'll be the foundation from which you grow and develop

If you made For walkin'
If you're meant to move on to new things or be independent

I be your boots
I'll be the one helping you move forward and providing support

If you a bride
If you're getting married

I be your wedding
I'll be the celebration of your love and commitment

If you a soul
If you're a part of someone's inner self

I be Your Otis Redding
I'll be the singer, the one who expresses your soul and emotion

If you a verse
If you're part of a poem or song

I be your song
I'll be the complete piece of music, accompanying and enhancing your verse

If you a king
If you're the ruler, the one in charge

I be your kong
I'll be the protector, the one who supports and defends your kingdom

You got me Stuck to you
You've made a deep and lasting impression on me

Clap hands C'mon
Let's celebrate, let's show some enthusiasm

Headed For a breakdown
Things are not going well, I'm overwhelmed

(Headed For a breakdown)
Reinforces the previous line about the difficult situation

I'm a fool I'm a clown
I may not be making good decisions, I may be making mistakes

(She's a fool She's a clown)
Reinforces that either the singer or the person they're singing to is in a difficult situation

But you Stuck me so good
But I'm committed to this relationship, this situation

That's right I been shot down
I've been affected deeply, in a euphoric or supposedly negative way

Stuck it to me Good now Baby I'm stuck to you
I'm committed to this relationship or situation, no matter what may happen. I'm in deep.

Chorus: x16
Repeats the central message of the song, repeated for emphasis
