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.
If I pick it up, can I put it down,
Whatever it is I just can't stop
For only 20 seconds at a time it's all mine.
I got too much pressure
Got me under it's thumb
And it's no fun, you can lose
Now I got a choice but I can't choose
Insistent as you are
Is no guarantee that you'll go far
Rock steady, if you can
But I've never been a steady man
People, wanna shoot you down
If you can't swim then you will drown
In sorrow,
Can't get no medical attention till tomorrow
Sadlands are where I live,
But that's none of your business,
You keep asking, and soon enough
The kids gonna have to get rough,
Maybe I'm a speed king
Push with the foot and I'm smiling,
I can glide on the love inside,
And there was you thinking that my hands were tied
All along I saw you hoping
I would slip and I'm not joking
The evidence in these events
Is still your lack of commonsense
Did you really think that I would sink
Because I like another drink
Have to get up to get down
The remedy is in the sound
Absurdity of your suggestion,
Leaves me asking just one question,
If you are my friend today?
Why do you wanna hear me say?
If I pick it up, can I put it down
Whatever it is, I just can't stop
I got too much pressure
Got me under it's thumb
And it's no fun, you can lose
Now I got a choice but I can't choose
Insistent as you are
Is no guarantee that you'll go far
Rock steady, if you can
But I've never been a steady man
People, wanna shoot you down
If you can't swim then you will drown
And I'm in sorrow,
I can't get no medical attention till tomorrow
Maybe I'm a speed king, yes I am
Ah yes I am, yes I am
Maybe I'm a speed king
Push with the foot and I'm smiling,
I can glide on the love inside,
And there was you thinking that my hands were tied
All along I saw you hoping
I would slip and I'm not joking
The evidence in these events
Is still your lack of commonsense
You can take it, I leave...
You my love believe, I've better come back
Yes you... I sending in a bill where I'm through
Where I'm through
Where I'm through now
Where I'm through now
I got... got to let you know now
If I pick it up, can I put it down
