Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion
Sweet, it’s broken
Sweet
Emotion (Emotion)
Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion
Talk about things that nobody cares
Wearing other things that nobody wears
You’re calling my name but I got to make clear
I can’t say baby where I’ll be in a year
Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go, musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she’s a real good liar
‘Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire
Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion
I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You’re telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can’t catch me because the rabbit done died, yes it did
You stand in the front just a shaking your ass
I’ll take you backstage you can drink from my glass
I’ll talk about something you can sure understand
‘Cause a month on the road and I’ll be eating from your hand
