I Got The
Siffre Labi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I have to do is get to you
And then I feel just fine
I'm on a downer, but not all the way
When I'm feelin' low you do your thing just so
And then I feel OK
So good, you're the best there is
I got the blues, got it oh so bad
When I think of me its hard to be
A person quite so sad
You got the answer and it makes me glad
When I'm feelin' small you give me rock n' roll
And then I'm feelin' bad
Your so good, the way you give
So good, you're the best there is
Just a lonely soul
Slowly dyin'
I was smilin' hard
But I was lyin'
Then you sailed along
With you're sweet dream
When you stole my heart
I was with it
Mornin' come, sun don't shine
I'll get by without you
I was lost, but now I'm found
Tell me love it was you
Mornin' come, sun don't shine
I'll get by without you
I was lost, but now I'm found
Tell me love it was you
Just a lonely soul (Mornin' come, sun don't shine)
Slowly dyin' (I'll get by without you)
I was smilin' hard (I was lost, but now I'm found)
But I was lyin' (Tell me love it was you)
Then you sailed along (Mornin' come, sun don't shine)
With you're sweet dream (I'll get by without you)
When you stole my heart (I was lost, but now I'm found)
I was with it (Tell me love it was you)
