Kicks (Long Version) (1968 Alternate Versions with Different Lyrics) Songtext
von Nazz

Girl, you thought you found the answer
On that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the mornin′
The world still gets you uptight

There's nothin′ that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down
Girl, still ain't feelin′ right

You think you′re gonna find yourself a little bit of paradise
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice
Can′t you see no matter what you do
You'll never run away from you?
And if you keep on runnin′
You'll still have to pay the price


And don′t you know that
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin′ you peace of mind
Before you find out it′s too late, girl
You better get straight
No, you don't need kicks

Kicks just keep gettin′ harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin′ you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight
No, you don′t need kicks

To help you face the world each day
(To help you face the world each day)
That road goes nowhere (that road leads nowhere)
I'm gonna help you (help you), help you (help you)
Help you (help you) find yourself some way

Harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin′ you peace of mind
Before you find out it′s too late, girl
You better get straight

Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain′t bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it′s too late, girl
You better get straight
