The Message In The Middle Of The Bottom - Lyrics by Chaka Khan


Lyrics

Verse 1:
I never meant a single thing when you tried it
You know it, i felt it, i liked it, i did it
I never meant to put it there but somewhere in dispair
It got moved into view, then i liked it
I never meant a single word when i said i could love you
I thought it, i heard it, i used it
I never meant a single beat of my heart to be yours
'cause i knew, if you knew, you'd abuse it

Chorus:
There's a message in the middle of the bottom
You see 'em, you love 'em, you got 'em
There's a proper time to pick 'em when they're fallen
Just listen, you'll hear 'em a-callin
There's a special way to know you got his lovin'
Can't you feel it, you ought to, you taught him
There's a special time for lovin' and another time
For huggin and a lot of time to leave him alone

Verse 2:
I have a feelin' deep inside that i've got you
I'll keep you. why not? it'll make me feel better
If there's a woman on this earth who should love you
It's me boy, don't fight it, admit it, you love it
If you think there's someone else who can move you
I'll lose you, no problem, you're free to go get her
I just refuse to let a lady step in on my show
If you choose, do it now or forget it

Chorus

Verse 1

Chorus

There's a special time for lovin' and another time
For huggin and a lot of time to leave him alone.
