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

Written by Jay Kay and Toby Smith

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 tomorow,

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. (repeat)
