Stir It Up
作詞/作曲:Allee Willis / Danny Sembello
I can´t sit here while I go nowhere
Chase my dreams through the polluted air [Joss]
Walking on a wire, running out of time [Both]
There´s no room in this ol´heart of mine [Patti]
Bill collectors waiting down the hall
Neighbors scream and crack the bedroom wall [Joss]
Nerves jump off the pavement, passion hits the street [Both]
Angels cookin´in the city heat [Joss]
World´s too crazy, I can´t take no more [Patti]
I won´t stay here locked behind the door Baby, stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, ooh, I can´t wait to Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I´m not gonna take it anymore, mmm, mmm
Hungry minds do stare you in the eyes Spread it thick and lay the biggest lies [Joss]
Don´t say what you feel, must play hard to get All those time bombs tickin´in your head [Both]
So much pressure to keep holdin´on [Patti]
Pack my clothes up, baby, I´ll be gone
I´ve got to stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, ooh, I can´t wait to Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I´m not gonna take it anymore, mmm, mmm
Can´t find love because it´s trapped inside [Joss]
Can´t find freedom 'cause it's hard to find [Patti]
Why don't you make some room in this ol´heart of mine [Joss
So much pressure to keep holdin´on [Patti]
Pack my clothes up, baby, I´ll be gone
Stir it up, I´ve got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can´t wait to Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don´t wanna take it anymore Stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can´t wait to Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don´t wanna take it anymore
Baby, there is so much pressure to keep me holdin´on Got to pack up my clothes and, baby, I´ll be
gone
Stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can´t wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don´t wanna take it no more Stir it up, got to break it up now
I´m gonna stir it up, gonna stir it up
I´m not gonna take it no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
