Messin’ with the Mekon lyrics
by Bob Marley
Oh, don't cross your fingers, cross your heart and soul
Don't ask me the question 'cause I just don't know
Sold by my intentions, got my emotions on hold
So don't ask me why
You ask how I feel and what it's like inside
I'm hot in pursuit, I'm bearing down on your hide
Involved in a recovery, tryin' to save my pride
Don't ask me again
Wound up in circ*mstance beyond my control
Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold
Oh, what a feeling such a long time ago
Don't ask me again
Get down, baby, you're out of control
You leave be my side or you leave on your own
I gotta know what I should've known
Don't ask me again
So don't you ask me how I feel and what it's like inside
'Cause in the circ*mstance, baby, you don't mess with my pride
It's just recovery, babe, just recovery, babe
Meet me in the middle, please some give and take
Alternative arrangements are there to be made
A new proposition's not a piece of cake
So don't you ask me
Wound up in circ*mstance beyond my control
Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold
Oh what a feeling such a long time ago
Don't ask me again
