Living in a Box Songtext
von Bobby Womack

Livin′

Got a woman that hold
That one inside
Caught up in the middle
I try to keep 'em satisfied
But the more I kill
The more they want
The more I do
The more they don′t
Now, that's what I call trapped
In a cardboard box

I woke up this morning
Livin' on hard times
Nothing doing
I feel resistance
As I open up my eyes
Someone′s fooling


But I′ve found a way to break
Through this, been my busy night
'Cause I know what′s going on
That's the cool fact

I′m living in a box (livin')
I′m living in a cardboard box
I'm living in a box (livin'), ooh, ooh, boom

Life goes in circles
′Round and ′round and 'round, circulating
I sometimes thought I found
What′s moving underground
Just escaping, aw

I've found a way to break
Through this, been my busy night
′Cause I know what's going on
That′s the cool fact

I'm living in a box (livin')
I′m living in a cardboard box
I′m living in a box (livin'), ooh, ooh, boom

Got a woman that hold
That one inside
Caught up in the middle
I try to keep ′em satisfied


So that the more I kill
The more they want
The more I do
The more they don't, ooh
The man′s in trouble
One way or another, we are all in a cardboard box

I'm living (livin′), living
In a box (livin')

Well
You're living, (living), living in a cardboard box (livin′), ooh
I′m living, yes I am, oh, can't do nothing about it, huh
That′s livin' in a cardboard box
