Mama Roux - Sandie Shaw

Growing up, I would refuse to admit I might've had a type But every new encounter would never quite amount to my appetite And now I don't know how I should go about it I don't think that I can pretend That somethin' about you won't keep me wanting 'til the very end, very end Time again I find replacements but they still feel like you Time again I find replacements but they still feel like you And I want you so confused I feel lost watching the news I've been running out of juice I don't wanna have to choose Settle for less, I just can't find a woman to compare to you It's been seven years and you're still the one I feel I belong to Tried so hard to get you out of my head Oh, I wish you had a sister instead I keep searching in my dreams to find a substitute Time again I find replacements but they still feel like you Time again I find replacements but they still feel like you And I'm just so confused I feel lost watching the news I've been running out of juice I don't wanna have to choose And I'm losing my mind 'cause I feel I've been tryin' Tryin' for so long, tryin' for so long, woah And I'm running out of time cause I feel we've been tryin' We've been tryin' for so long, tryin' for so long, woah Time again I find replacements but they still feel like you Time again I find replacements but they still feel like you And time again I find replacements but they still feel like you And time again I find replacements but they still feel like you And it's time to move on Time again I find replacements but they still feel like you And it's time to move on Time again I find replacements but they still feel like you And it's time to move on

Well tonight out on the streets I'm gonna follow you And tell you all about a scene that you would kill for You're gonna love what's burning right in front of you But you won't see it by the light of the sun Come out, tigerlily, you're caressing me I'll take you up, I'll turn you on, I'll take your apathy I wouldn't lie to you, blossom, won't you let it go? I'm gonna give you all you want, and don't you know? That you I know you better than this I could be here when you call I'll make you top of the list And in the crush of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire for a kiss Psychobabble all upon your lips Well, they can sell it all they want but you cannot agree I don't like the taste of their morality You'll find your bread and your butter where you fake it And put your face in the gutter of a snake pit But our communication is telepathy What you give is what you get out of us naturally And we can wait 'til the shadow grows long And turn the page of a story that has long since found a home I know you better than this I could be here when you call I'll make you top of the list And in the crush of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire for a kiss Psychobabble all upon your lips Have you ever felt like you're being followed? Or watched the ones that held your stare? Turned around to see who's behind you To find there's no one there? Lurking in the dark 'Cause someone breathes you night and day There's a friend who wants so much more And if they can't have you, they'll never let you walk away And in the crush of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire for a kiss And in the crush of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire for a kiss Psychobabble all upon your lips

I'm the obsessor holdin' your hand It seems you have forgotten about your man Alone in the darkness my bed's a different land Your touch intensifies and I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand You're the upsettor stroking my hand What's my position, I don't understand? Am I your possession, am I in demand? Oh, when you turn to me I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand You, you moved into my mind again, oh You walking around and free, oh Oh, I could let you stay but I'm walking on broken ground again Oh, oh, when will I learn all you do is push me back in the dark? I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand
