Sassy Lyrics

(Soul sassy, soul sassy)

[Neneh Cherry:]
Fellas got to give me the most respect
Cuz you know I don't like to waste my time
So don't give me that
I'm laying low; I sizzle slow
I might be tripping, but I do my thing
I play the games like monkey in the middle - not
Piece by piece like a puzzle we come together
Guru...

[Guru:]
You never seen a girl like this before
Because she's so sassy completely secure

Check out the way she walks and talks
She got the force to knock it out the box
Now I've known this lady for some time
Yes of course she's fine
The only one of her kind - buss it
The lady has so much pazzaz if you step
To her wrong you're getting played like jazz"

[Neneh Cherry:]
Conversations don't say the most
Along the way I've heard some boas-sting!
I roll my dice and take what comes
Numbers, numbers, numbers as I hang with my chums
I count my lucky days - cause I know when they come
If you're looking for a ride boy watch me run
All the way to China (China, China)
Or just between peace and man
[Guru:]
On yes she's nifty-hefty; the beat plays on
She's bout to rip the roof off from dusk to dawn
So when you see lady for must give her props
Keep the champagne flowin' until the music stop
I'm man of my time she's a woman of hers too
Old fashioned; but still stashing a few
New styles for roughneck rude
So I'm gonna stuff it in your face like gourmet food

[Neneh Cherry:]
Hooked like a picture and look to the wall
And hanging like Picasso seems so tall
Voluptous; I had a choice to be monagomous
Me and my baby forgot to check what day it was
Under the covers kissing to the way it was
Freshly squeezed so pure and natural
Unique in character and this is factual

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
