Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got to curb my expectations
The one's that I put on others too
When people try to lay one down on ya, hey
You've got to step
Move to the left and put up your thing
Don't leave yourself so open again
Don't gonna let you make me feel uptight
Coz I'm keeping a little something
I'm giving a little something of myself, yeah
Oh yeah, keeping a little something, yeah
Giving a little something, oh yeah
Hey, we don't have time for your negative style
No we don't, we don't, no we don't
Hey, we don't have time for your negative vibes
No we don't, we don't, no we don't
Y'know it takes some work to get that positive vibe
Some people just don't get it sometimes
So you wanna play it cool, yeah
Now tell me who is the fool. oh?
You've got to step
Move to the left and put up your thing
Don't leave yourself so open again
Hands up high, twist it to the right
Don't gonna let you make me feel uptight
Coz I'm keeping a little something
I'm giving a little something of myself, yeah
Feeling good, don't bring me down, no no no
Don't bring me down, no no no
Give a little something, yeah yeah yeah
