You want me be someone better
I just wanna monkey round yeah
You want me to write you a letter
But the words just wont come the right way
My pen wont listen to a thing that I say
Silly thing hey hey silly thing hey hey
Well it dont mean a thing if you aint got that swing
Silly thing hey hey yeah hey hey.
Maybe youre getting sloppy
Under the midday sun oh yeah.
You come on like a carbon copy
But I just wanna hang to the way you live.
Dont you want the love I got to give
Silly thing hey hey silly thing hey hey
Well it dont mean a thing if you aint got that swing
Silly thing hey hey yeah hey hey.
Well I just wanna hang to the way you live.
Dont you want the love I got to give
Silly thing hey hey silly thing hey hey
Well it dont mean a thing if you aint got that swing
Silly thing hey hey yeah hey hey.
I said you dont-a mean a thing if you aint got that swing
Silly thing hey hey..
