Song Lyrics I Got The Music In Me - Kiki Dee
Ain't got no troubles in my life No foolish dream to make me cry. I'm never frightened or worried, I know I'll always get by. I heat up (I heat up) I cool down (I cool down) When something gets in my way I go round it. Don't let life get me down Gonna take life the way that I found it.
CHORUS I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me
They say that life is a circle (circle) But that ain't the way that I've found it. Gonna move in a straight line (ooh) Keeping my feet firmly on the ground. I heat up (I heat up) I cool down (I cool down) I got words in my head so I say them. Don't let life get me down, Catch a hold of my blues and just play them.
CHORUS
Feel funky Feel good Gonna tell ya I'm in the neighbourhood Gonna fly like a bird on the wing Hold on to your hat honey, Sing, sing, sing, sing Heat up, cool down (cool down) I got words in my head so I say them Don't let life get me down (Don't let it get ya down) Catch a hold of my blues and just play them.
CHORUS x2
Ain't got no trouble in my life, No foolish dream to make me cry. I'm never frightened I'm never worried, I know, I know I'll always get by.
I got the music Pretty music I got the music In me
Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get you down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get you down Ha, ha, ha, ha
CHORUS
Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get you down
I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get you down
Every evening when the sun
Was low in the sky
He would go to the river’s edge
To reminisce and he would cry
Not so long had passed
Since she had been lost to him
He would sit and play his piano
And drink his tonic and gin
He had moved his instrument
To this special place
To remember her as she was
Before disappearing without a trace
He had loved her deeply
And asked for her hand
She had demurely resisted
Being unsure of a wedding band
She had visited less after that day
Making excuses and avoiding him
He became despondent and sad
Imploring her to come for a swim
Just one more time he begged
And she reluctantly agreed
She was a little wary of him
But did not pay much heed
Once they were in the water
He begged her once more
Marry me please, he implored
But she again did ignore
Placing his hands on her shoulders
He pushed her down
Holding her under the water
Until she drowned
