Whatever It Is, I Just Can`t Stop Lyrics

Whatever It Is, I Just Can`t Stop

Written by Jay Kay and Toby Smith 
  
If I pick it up I can put it down, 
Whatever it is I just can`t stop, 
For only 20 seconds at a time it`s all mine. 
I got, too much, pressure, 
Got me under it`s thumb 
And it`s no fun, you can lose 
Now I got a choice but I can`t choose 
Insistent as you are, is no guarantee that you`ll go far 
Rock steady if you can 
But I`ve never been a steady man, 
People, wanna shoot you down, 
If you can`t swim then you will drown 
In sorrow, can`t get any medical attention till tomorow, 
  
Sadlands, are where I live, 
But that`s none of your business, 
You keep asking, and soon enough 
The kids gonna have to get rough, 
  
Maybe I`m a speed king 
Push with the foot and I`m smiling, 
I can glide on the love inside, 
And there was you thinking that my hands were tied 
All along I saw you hoping 
I would slip and I`m not joking 
The evidence in these events 
Is still your lack of commonsense 
Did you really think that I would sink 
Because I like another drink 
Have to get up to get down 
The remedy is the sound 
Absurdity of your suggestion, leaves me asking just one question, 
If you`re my friend today? 
Why do you wanna hear me say? 
  
If I pick it up, can I put it down? 
Whatever it is, I just can`t stop. (repeat)
