Before
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.
I don't have to read into this
I don't have to lean into the kiss
You move me naturally
You move me naturally
You move me naturally
(Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce)
(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Straight to the floor)
I must be in pain, 'cause I (pain, 'cause I)
I must be in pain 'cause I've never needed anyone before
Well nothing's in vain, 'cause I (well, nothing's)
In vain, 'cause I (well, nothing's)
In vain, 'cause I've never had it as good before
Before, before, ooh
(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)
(Straight to the floor)
(Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce)
I don't have to keep receipts any more
And I don't have to stand by the door
'Cause you're my family
You move me naturally (I don't)
(Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce)
I must be in pain, 'cause I (pain, 'cause I)
I must be in pain 'cause I've never needed anyone before
Well nothing's in vain, 'cause I (well, nothing's)
In vain, 'cause I (well, nothing's in)
Vain, 'cause I've never had it as good before
Before, before, before
(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)
(Straight to the floor)
Before, before, before, before
(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)
(Straight to the floor)
