Lyrics
Formerly Venus Flytrap
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 sun is shining nice and warm
but for all I care it could start to storm,
I can breeze through any weather anytime.
I don't need no whiskey or smoke,
take my money, leave me broke.
'Cos money can't buy the thing that keeps me flying.
All the good things in life are for free
and the best thing of all is so definitely
when my baby wraps her love around me.
Don't want to travel round far and near,
so take my ticket, leave me here.
'Cos my lover don't live in no foreign land.
I don't have power, don't have fame,
but I don't miss them, 'cos with them I'd still feel the same.
My life is complete just taking her by the hand.
And when we walk down the street we look sharp,
got love in our eyes, in our heart.
Much more than a fling, the real thing, we swing.
Today the sun is shining nice and hot,
we just stroll till we come to a promising spot.
We stop, we're down to our favourite thing.
All the good things in life are for free...
Today the sun is shining nice and hot...
All the good things in life are for free...
Come on baby, wrap yourself around me.
One more time.
Come on baby, wrap your love around me.
Baby, wrap your love around me.
Baby, wrap your love around me.
