Halftime
Amy Winehouse · Lioness - Hidden Treasures [2011]
humble by the bed
when the beat kicks in
everything falls in to place
and it overpowers me
i can't help but dance
you can try to stop me now
but you won't get the chance
half time, time to make it through
consider the change
take it from a different view
half time, time to think it through
consider the change
rhythm floods my heart
the melody it feeds my soul
the tune tears me apart
and it swallowed me whole
you should thank your lucky star
cause the music is a gift
and it's stronger than all else
who guards me with a bliss
half time, time to think it through
consider the change
half time, time to think it through
consider the change
my lyrics reveling
some natural vibe
to find the lay back feeling
does that it right
every phrase that i'm to sing
it's too much to say, yeah
so i sing this endless sheet
intensifies my eight
half time, time to think it through
consider the change
half time, time to think it through
consider the change
Halftime
