lyrics

I don't know what you want to hear
So I'll just play it to you how I feel it
I don't know how you'd like me to appear
So I'll just wear it the way I wear it

Maybe you want the old familiar
Maybe you want something completely new
I don't know what it is I got
All I know is I've got to give it to you

You can take it
You can leave it
I don't mind
Just feel it

I don't know what you expect me to say
So I'll just tell it to you the way I learnt it
I don't know what you expect me to do
So I'll just do it to you the way I do it

Maybe you want the old familiar
Maybe you want something completely new
I don't know what it is I got
All I know is I've got to give it to you

You can take it
You can leave it
I don't mind
Just feel it

The sum pulses and swarms.... ... more
