"Kicks" lyrics

Oh, wow

Girl, you thought you found the answer
On that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the mornin'
The world still gets you uptight

Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right

And don't it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all those kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late
Girl, you better get straight

No, but not with kicks
You just need help, girl

Well you think you're gonna find yourself
A little piece of paradise
And it ain't happened yet
So girl, you better think twice

Yeah, don't you see, no matter what you do
You can never run away from you
If you keep on runnin'
You just might pay the price

And don't it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all the kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late
Girl, you better get straight

No, you don't need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
Yeah, I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find, oh
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind, oh
Before you find out it's too late
Girl, you better get straight

And don't it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find, oh
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind, oh
Before you find out it's too late
Girl, you better get straight
