Lyrics of the Day

...not to imply that I'll have lyrics everyday, or any other day...or that these lyrics are more brilliant or apropos to my life than any others. I just like these. Right now. Edited (to be mother and blog and VC-life appropriate) from the original, a song called "Stick-Up" by Kelis.

I've been loving you for years
I know that I was never clear
But I have my fear today
Cause I'm gonna say
What I gotta say
I don't wanna play the role
I'm busting through the door
Gonna take your heart for sure

Put your hands up in the air
It's a stick up
I'm gone take your heart from here
Now let's fix up
Put your hands in the air, in the air, in the air

I'm gonna play cards from here
And take this gamble,
Sure my words are gonna fumble
But this being hushed and humble
Ain’t got me nowhere
Sure I'm scared but my life's a dare
And baby you just got so much flare
We'd be the perfect pair
I'm gonna share my mind with you
You've been blinded by lies, my blue
I'm taking you, I'm taking you

Put your hands up in the air
It's a stick up
I'm gone take your heart from here
Now let's fix up
Put your hands in the air, in the air, in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air

You try to run I still get you
A whole nother meaning
Don't want your gold, want your soul
Continue heartbeating
Cause when I start squeezing that muscle
That's the trigger then I got you...

This is a robbery, and no one's gettin free
Til that man he comes for me
This is a robbery, and no one's gettin free
Til that man he comes for me

Put your hands up in the airIt's a stick up
I'm gone take your heart from here
Now let's fix up
Put your hands in the air, in the air, in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air
