lyrics

You got the knife, Babe, and I trust you with my back
'til my head's on your pillow and the night fades to black.
All tangled in the low-light with no way to act,
I go with the flow like there's no going back.
There's notes in my dreams that come echoing back
and I sing 'em to you.
Yeah, I sing 'em to you.

I ain't no schemer or an egg that just cracked,
and I ain't no damsel who's tied to the track.
No, I'm just a shopgirl who wants you so bad,
and I go with the flow like there's no going back.

You got the knife, Babe, and I trust you with my back.
You drink me in and I watch you react.
I'm just a shop girl who wants you so bad
and I go with the flow like there's no going back.
Oh, I'm just a shop girl who wants you so bad
and I go with the flow like there's no going back.
