Michael Johnson I Got You Covered song lyrics

It's time to ask the homeless to go home

Happenings must happen on their own

Deep in your bed the truth is known

You do not stand together, you stand alone

You're always talkin' about what you're doin'

Who you're seeing and who you're screwing

It comes out subtle and it comes out soft

You're always on and your on is off, oh boy

Still learning where it's at, oh boy

Lookin' twice at the Cadillac, oh boy

Well I chewed you up a long time ago

Believe me boy, but you help me grow

I got you covered and I got you covered

If consciousness is like the ocean

I'm just a trickle in the stream

Always in motion

I strain the images to reach the truth

When I look at me, I look at youth, oh boy

Still learning where it's at, oh boy

Lookin' twice at the Cadillac, oh boy

Well I chewed you up a long time ago

Believe me boy, but you help me grow

I got you covered and I got you covered

We all seem to get along fine

Sharing our dimes and our cigarettes and wine

But it's time to ask the homeless to go home

Happenings must happen on their own

Deep in your bed the truth is known

You do not stand together

You stand alone
