Lyrics

Well, you thought you found the answer
On that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the morning
The world still gets you uptight
Well, there's nothing better you ain't tried
To fill that emptiness inside
When you come back down girl
You still ain't feelin' right

Don't it seem like
Kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late girl
You'd better get straight

But not with kicks
You just need help girl

Well, you think you're gonna find yourself
A little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet
So girl you'd better think twice
Don't you see - no matter what you do
You'll never get away from you
And if you keep on running
You'll have to pay the price

Don't it seem like
Kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late girl
You'd better get straight

No you don't need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road leads nowhere
So I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

Like kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late girl
You'd better get straight (repeat to fade)
