Went to the city with all these lights With the people to fall in love with or dislike And music is like a pouring rain I made my decision : I wanna stay. Made songs, taped'em on my machine Sent cassettes to a record company (They Said) "You know you're here to entertain? You look good girl but I can hear no refrain" Swing and sway, be colorful and sweet Or you just waste my time. Pick a word and sing it constantly, About a million times. If your voice was clear and not so keen Hey, we could change your style! This is just another industry" Well, I swept floors, I made hotel beds, While I kept my songs like in a warehouse, in my head "Bitter?" No I just love to complain. And I made my decision, here's the refrain : "Swing and sway, be colorful and sweet Or you just waste my time. Pick a word and sing it constantly, About a million times. If your voice was clear and not so keen Hey, we could change your style! This is just another industry" "Disappointed?" "No, I just like to complain" 'Cause I don't wanna do this, I cannot take it I put on my shoes now and walk away. I don't wanna do it, it's just a waste of time And I don't like your rules. I don't wanna do this, I cannot take it I put on my shoes now and run away. I don't wanna hear your lies and promises or your "useful" advices "Swing and sway, be colorful and sweet Or you just waste my time. Pick a word and sing it constantly, About a million times. If your voice was clear and not so keen Hey, we could change your style! This is just another industry"
