Lyrics
0:00Trying to find my way
0:02Just to get to you
0:04But these people out here
0:06Playing with me fast and loose
0:09Headed uptown I'm on the way
0:14Ain't no tellin' how I'm gonna make it today
0:19I'll take a car ride the bus to a train
0:23Just to get to where you are
0:29How much longer can I wait for
0:32Time to put me back on the line
0:39Ay-yi I don't understand
0:43Ay-yi nothing ever goes as planned
0:48Ay-yi Murphy's Law of the land
0:53Ay-yi ay-yi-yi
0:579 to 5 ain't hittin' like it used to do
1:01And I'm caught up in the struggle of the red and blue
1:06I'm heading uptown I'm on the way
1:11Ain't nobody gonna steal my joy today
1:16Takе a beat from a breath to another
1:20Just to bе right where you are
1:26Million years or a minute tick by
1:29And I'm back on the line
1:35Ay-yi I don't understand
1:40Ay-yi nothing ever goes as planned
1:44Ay-yi Murphy's Law of the land
1:49Ay-yi ay-yi-yi
1:54Ay-yi tough for me to understand
1:58Ay-yi nothing ever goes as planned
2:03Ay-yi that's the universal hand
2:08Ay-yi ay-yi-yi
2:13Ay-yi ay-yi
2:17Ay-yi ay-yi
2:22Ay-yi ay-yi
2:27Ay-yi ay-yi
Trying to find my way Just to get to you But these people out here Playing with me fast and loose Headed uptown I'm on the way Ain't no tellin' how I'm gonna make it today I'll take a car ride the bus to a train Just to get to where you are How much longer can I wait for Time to put me back on the line Ay-yi I don't understand Ay-yi nothing ever goes as planned Ay-yi Murphy's Law of the land Ay-yi ay-yi-yi 9 to 5 ain't hittin' like it used to do And I'm caught up in the struggle of the red and blue I'm heading uptown I'm on the way Ain't nobody gonna steal my joy today Takе a beat from a breath to another Just to bе right where you are Million years or a minute tick by And I'm back on the line Ay-yi I don't understand Ay-yi nothing ever goes as planned Ay-yi Murphy's Law of the land Ay-yi ay-yi-yi Ay-yi tough for me to understand Ay-yi nothing ever goes as planned Ay-yi that's the universal hand Ay-yi ay-yi-yi Ay-yi ay-yi Ay-yi ay-yi Ay-yi ay-yi Ay-yi ay-yi
