Rockit Lyrics
Herbie Hancock
Lyrics
I'm walking to the something
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Collapse
I'm drinking too much bla bla,
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Fall out
I'm feeling really bla bla, I want to bla bla bla,
Collapse
And in the end it means I bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
The end
I got myself together
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.
Watch out
I didn't need the patience, life bla bla bla bla bla
Collapse
Don't you sit to close, or I'll bla bla bla bla bla
Break up
Stick it up your nose
Bla bla bla bla bla bla
The end
I didn't mean to do it Rock it, rock it
It loved me in my head Rock it, rock it
I tried to be a charmer, Rock it, rock it
but I got a bit hopeless instead Rock it, rock it
The world is very sexy Rock it, rock it
It's part of my collapse Rock it, rock it
I'm walking to the something It's part of my collapse
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
I'm drinking too much bla bla,
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Fall out
I'm feeling really bla bla, I want to bla bla bla,
Collapse
And in the end it means I bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
The end
I didn't mean to do it Rock it, rock it
It loved me in my head Rock it, rock it
I tried to be a charmer, Rock it, rock it
but I got a bit hopeless instead Rock it, rock it
The world is very sexy Rock it, rock it
It's part of my collapse Rock it, rock it
I'm walking to the something It's part of my collapse
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
I'm drinking too much bla bla,
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Fall out
I'm feeling really bla bla, I want to bla bla bla,
Collapse
And in the end it means I bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
The end
Rock it
