Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five
Wings · Band on the Run [1973]
Oh, no one ever left alive in 1985 will ever do
She may be right, she may be fine
She may get love, but she won't get mine cause I got you
Oh I, Oh I
Well, I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind
Shake it
Baby don't break it
Oh, my mama said the time would come
When I would find myself in love with you
I didn't think, I never dreamed
That I would be around to see it all come true
Woah I, Oh I
Well, I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind
Oh, no one ever left alive in 1985 will ever do
She may be right, she may be fine
She may get love, but she won't get mine cause I got you
Oh I, Oh I
Well, I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady left behind
Band on the run, band on the run
Band on the run, band on the run
She may be right, she may be fine
She may get love, but she won't get mine cause I got you
Oh I, Oh I
Well, I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind
Shake it
Baby don't break it
Oh, my mama said the time would come
When I would find myself in love with you
I didn't think, I never dreamed
That I would be around to see it all come true
Woah I, Oh I
Well, I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind
Oh, no one ever left alive in 1985 will ever do
She may be right, she may be fine
She may get love, but she won't get mine cause I got you
Oh I, Oh I
Well, I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady left behind
Band on the run, band on the run
Band on the run, band on the run
