Jammin'

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.

Baby, I was just a young girl

When you came on the scene 10 years ago

I thought I was hip, I could deal with the trips

No matter how fast or slow

I was like a moving violation

Give me a ticket and I'm ready to ride

Thought I was the queen of syncopation

You know you can't give the queen no bad advice

Thought I knew it all, baby

But I didn't know it all, baby

Thought I knew it all, baby

But I didn't know it all, baby

'Cause when you kissed my lips

When you kissed my lips

I was jammin'

Jammin' for the first time

Jammin', jammin'

Jammin' for the first time

Jammin', jammin'

Jammin' for the first time

Baby, I was young, I was green

When you showed me the ropes 10 years ago

I thought I was cool, I could break all the rules

No matter how fast or slow

I was like a moving violation

Give me a ticket and I'm ready to ride

Thought I was the queen of syncopation

You know you can't give the queen no bad advice

Thought I knew it all, baby

But I didn't know it all, baby

Thought I knew it all, baby

But I didn't know it all, baby

'Cause when you kissed my lips

When you kissed my lips

I was jammin'

Jammin' for the first time

Jammin', jammin'

Jammin' for the first time

Jammin', jammin'

Jammin' for the first time

I was a girl from the streets

Dancin' to the beat

Of a different kind of drummer

Little Ms. Know-it-all, you don't know it all

Caught up in the rhythm of sound

Living to get down

As the song became my lover

Attitude keeps your head up to the sky

Then you kissed my lips and, ooh

I lost my cool

Look at me I'm jammin'

And everything's happenin'

I'm feeling the bliss and the reason for this

Is the love in your kiss, baby

Jammin'

Jammin', jammin'

Jammin' for the first time

Jammin', jammin'

Jammin' for the first time

I was like a moving violation

Give me a ticket, baby

Thought I was the queen of syncopation

You know you can't give the queen no bad advice

Thought I knew it all, baby

But I didn't know it all, baby

Thought I knew it all, baby

But I didn't know it all, baby

'Cause when you kissed my lips

And my backbone slipped

I was jammin'

Jammin' for the first time

The square root of a positive groove

Times a happening melody equals a jam

Give some to the back

No

Ooh, baby

No

You got me movin' and I'm jammin' for the first time

No

Ooh, baby

No

You got me movin' and I'm jammin' for the first time

I was like a moving violation

Give me a ticket, baby

Thought I was the queen of syncopation

You know you can't give the queen no bad advice

I was like a moving violation

Give me a ticket, baby

Thought I was the queen of syncopation

You know you can't give the queen no bad advice
