Whatever It Is, I Just Can't Stop   





If I pick it up, can I put it down, 

Whatever it is I just can't stop 

For only 20 seconds at a time it's all mine. 

I got, too much, pressure, 

Got me under it's thumb 

And it's no fun, you can lose 

Now I got a choice but I can't choose 

Insistent as you are 

Is no guarantee that you'll go far 

Rock steady, if you can 

But I've never been a steady man, 

People, wanna shoot you down, 

If you can't swim then you will drown 

In sorrow, 

Can't get no medical attention till tomorrow, 

Sadlands are where I live, 

But that's none of your business, 

You keep asking, and soon enough 

The kids gonna have to get rough, 

Maybe I'm a speed king 

Push with the foot and I'm smiling, 

I can glide on the love inside, 

And there was you thinking that my hands were tied 

All along I saw you hoping 

I would slip and I'm not joking 

The evidence in these events 

Is still your lack of commonsense 

Did you really think that I would sink 

Because I like another drink 

Have to get up to get down 

The remedy is in the sound 

Absurdity of your suggestion, 

Leaves me asking just one question, 

If you are my friend today? 

Why do you wanna hear me say? 

 

If I pick it up, can I put it down 

Whatever it is, I just can't stop
