Walking
The Kelly Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was walking one way
Was walking the other day
I was walking, I was walking
I was walking the wrong way

I was talking one way, bla bla bla
Talking all day
I was talking, I was talking
I was talking the wrong way

CHORUS:
Try to watch out what you do in life
Try not to hurt anybody
Try to watch out what you do in life
For things, they can get pretty muddy
For things, they can get pretty muddy

I was thinking one way
Just the other day
I was thinking, I was thinking
But I was thinking the wrong way

I was singing one way
Was singing all day
I was singing, I was singing
But I was singing the wrong way

CHORUS
