Everywhere I Go
The Travelers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Original performer: the clash

Come on you've got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So won't you come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

It's always tease tease tease
You'll have me when I'm on my knees
One day it's fine, the next it's black
So if you want me off your back
Won't you come on and let me know, let me know
Should I cool it or should I blow?

This indecision's bugging me
Please, baby, please, set me free
I don't think I can repel off your attack
So if you want me off your back




Won't you come on and let me know
Should I cool it or should I blow?
