Song | Felicia |
Artist | Blues Traveler |
Album | Straight On Till Morning |
Lyrics:John Popper Music:John Popper | |
And if my two left feet could settle down and split the difference | |
Tripping over myself in every way that I know how | |
Perhaps in time I could surpass my coy facade of vast indifference | |
But I've already reached the maximum of what my law allows | |
You tell me to relax you tell me | |
Not to try so hard | |
But in the end it only makes me want to more | |
To figure out some way to play some major part | |
So I watch her move and I watch her work | |
Satisfy my voyeuristic quirk | |
Old habits they are hard to break | |
Just harder than it is to take | |
And when she looks away I tap my feet | |
I try my best to be discreet | |
Careful so she won't find out | |
How much I want to shout | |
Come on and dance with me Felicia | |
And show me how to do that step I never thought I could | |
You always move so gracefully | |
And I was never any good | |
But maybe if you'll dance with me | |
I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah Felicia | |
The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me | |
Come on Felicia set me free | |
And when you start to close your eyes | |
You know you move so beautifully | |
I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia | |
I suppose the thing that gets me most is that if I'd bothered ever | |
I wouldn't feel so much like Casey who never got to bat | |
You cannot help but laugh at me singing better late than never | |
And more and more I realize I have no argument for that | |
I can almost work up the nerve for a declaration | |
I can almost hear me speak the words as I gain resolve | |
But then you move and you twirl and you smile at me | |
And my inhibition and my courage both dissolve | |
And so I'm standing there and I do not move | |
In spite of her momentous groove | |
And for a moment I can barely see | |
A glimpse of how good it could be | |
And then I must admit that I want to try | |
To look Felicia in the eye | |
And when the music starts to play | |
To smile at her and say | |
Come on and dance with me Felicia | |
And show me how to do that step I never thought I could | |
You always move so gracefully | |
And I was never any good | |
But maybe if you'll dance with me | |
I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah Felicia | |
The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me | |
Come on Felicia set me free | |
And when you start to close your eyes | |
You know you move so beautifully | |
I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia | |
And so I'm standing there and I do not move | |
In spite of her momentous groove | |
And for a moment I can barely see | |
A glimpse of how good it could be | |
And then I must admit that I want to try | |
To look Felicia in the eye | |
And when the music starts to play | |
To smile at her and say | |
Come on and dance with me Felicia | |
And show me how to do that step I never thought I could | |
You always move so gracefully | |
And I was never any good | |
But maybe if you'll dance with me | |
I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah Felicia | |
The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me | |
Come on Felicia set me free | |
And when you start to close your eyes | |
You know you move so beautifully | |
I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia | |
I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia | |
Dance with me I want to dance with you Felicia |
