"Shock To The System" lyrics
"Shock To The System"
Well, she came from the Motor City
From a clean, white neighbourhood
She had a degree in social science
She came out then to Hollywood
She was a six-foot social beauty
With an eye for Polynesian art
In a sharp skirt and tied my hands
She could kickstart a dead man's heart
It's not what she say
It's all in her sway
She's a shock to the system
It's not how she talks
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the system
She's a rough cut sacred diamond
In a [?] mediocre style
She just walks the [?] shot body
She may be crazy but she's no wild child
She has an old folk's and old sons
Plays piano in a rock 'n' blues band
She got drinks, but don't do cocaine
But she parties hard all the same
It's not what she say
It's all in her sway
She's a shock to the system
It's not how she talks
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the system
Woo! Ha
Oh yeah
Shock to the system, baby, oh now
As I was walking home one night
On the streets I've never seen
And that subterranean part of town
Where love is never found
Wanna build my road on top of this place
I know this turned [?]
It's appearing here twice nightly
[?] was this
Well she earned a whole lot of money
And went back home to Michigan
She had maximised her potential
But there's a scandal of a family man
It's not what she say
It's all in her sway
She's a shock to the system
It's not how she talks
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the systemit's not what she say
It's all in her sway
She's a shock to the system
It's not how she talks
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the system

Free - "Little Bit Of Love" I believe
If you give
A little bit of love
To those you live with
A little bit of love
Oh oh oh
Has gotta come your way.
Well in my mind
It's easy
To lose sight of the truth
But in my heart
I can't...
Dr. Hook - "Only Sixteen" She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
We'd laugh and we'd sing and do funny things
And it made our hearts glow
But...

Styx - "Babe" Babe, I'm leaving, I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see...
Steve Winwood - "I'm Not Drowning" Black night down heavy on my weary brow
Light shining in the pouring rain
Can see somehow cold comfort in the broken trees
But I won't let it bring me to my knees
I'm not flying, but I'm not drowning...
