Droppin' Like Flies - 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

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

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
