"Droppin' Like Flies" lyrics - SHEILA E.
Don't you call me baby
Ten after two
Boy I'm sick and tired
Of worryin 'bout you
I never know if you're still alive
The other night
I was up til the quarter yo five
Find something else to do
'Cus this ain't you
There ain't nothing out there baby
Whenever I turn around
You're out there
[Chorus:]
Playin in the street
What a price to pay
Can't stand on your feet
Livin day by day
Hangin round strangers
Just to get you high
Can't you see with your own eyes
They're dropping' like flies (flies)
Boy if I don't answer
It's cuz I'm gone
There's no need to worry
The kitchen light's on
I've had enough if you don't mind
'Cuz if I stay I'm tempted to beat your behind
Find something else to do
'Cuz this ain't you
I thought by now that you'd see that light
But you still got the notion to hang all night
[Chorus:]
Playin in the street
What a price to pay
Can't stand on your feet
Livin day by day
Hangin round strangers
Just to get you high
Can't you see with your own eyes
They're droppin' like flies
Chorus repeat
Playin in the street
What a price to pay
Can't stand on your feet
Livin day by day
Hangin round strangers
Just to get you high
Can't you see with your own eyes
They're dropping' like...
Hello
They're droppin like flies
They're droppin like flies
Flies
You're too busy
Playin in the street
What a price to pay
Can't stand on your feet
Livin day by day
Hangin round strangers
Just to get you high
Don't you see with your own eyes
They're dropping' like flies
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Livin the life
Just to get high
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Can't you see with your own eyes
Yeah yeah yeah
Playin in the street
What a price to pay
Can't stand on your feet
Livin day by day
Hangin round strangers
Just to get you high
Can't you see with your own eyes
(Can't can't can't can't)
They're dropping' like flies
Playin in the street
They're dropping like flies
Can't stand on your feet
Livin day by day
Hangin round strangers
(Dropping like flies)
Can't you see with your own eyes
They're droppin' like flies
Playin in the street
What a price to pay
(They're dropping like flies)
Can't stand on your feet
Can't stand, can't stand
(Livin a lie)
Can't you see with your own eyes
They're dropping' like flies
