Jamiroquai Whatever It Is, I Just Can't Stop lyrics

If I pick it up, I can put it down
Whatever it is I just can't stop

For only 20 seconds at a time it's all mine
I got too much pressure got me under it's thumb
And it's no fun, you can lose
Now I got a choice but I can't choose

Insistent as you are
Is no guarantee that you'll go far
Rock steady if you can
But I've never been a steady man

People wanna shoot you down
If you can't swim then you will drown
In sorrow
Can't get any medical attention till tomorrow

Sadlands are where I live
But that's none of your business
You keep asking and soon enough
The kids gonna have to get rough

Maybe I'm a speed king
Push with the foot and I'm smiling
I can glide on the love inside

And there was you thinking
That my hands were tied

All along I saw you hoping
I would slip and I'm not joking
The evidence in these events
Is still your lack of commonsense

Did you really think that I would sink
Because I like another drink
Have to get up to get down
The remedy is the sound

Absurdity of your suggestion
Leaves me asking just one question
If you're my friend today
Why do you wanna hear me say?

If I pick it up, can I put it down?
Whatever it is, I just can't stop
If I pick it up, can I put it down?
Whatever it is, I just can't stop
