Body Knows Best
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The mind won’t rest, puts you to the test
Body knows better, any kind of weather
Body knows best, never second guess
The mind is a tether holding you together too tight
(So tight!) you gotta lay it on the side
The signs said yes, passing every test
Your mouth said, ‘forever’, but my body knew better
Howdja go and get to be a liar
Shifty little dancer on a wire
I’m breaking, not broken, saner words were spoken
You coulda been everything, I couldn’t get to know ya
Know I’m right
You gotta keep it on side (so tight!)
You gotta lay it on the side
Who’s right? Who’s right? who’s right?
Body blows, take it to the pros
In the throes, don’t nobody know
Who goes, who stays all night
I’ll be your real, your wrong or right
The body knows best
Nevermind the rest
The mind is a tether
Holding you together too tight
You gotta keep it on side (so tight!)
You gotta lay it on the side
Who’s right? Who’s right?
All that time putting up a fight
How we wrestle in the night
Who’s right?
The body knows best, never mind the rest
The mind is a tether holding you together
The signs said yes, passing every test
Your mouth said, ‘forever’, but my body knew better
