Lyrics
Somethin' Deep
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.
Why'd you have to take me there?
You start the fire, then you put it out
I have to depend on my imagination
I didn't want to fade what you've been puttin' down
But then you say the word
Then I go under
Every time you go
Missing you so
Somethin' deep
Baby come around
Missing you now
Somethin' deep
(Deeper, going deeper down without you honey)
It's more confusing by the hour
You set me free, but you don't go away
I try to think about somebody else
That's when I know I just can't help myself
So baby say the word and take me over
Every time you go
Missing you so
Somethin' deep
Baby come around
Missing you now
Somethin' deeply
