Still ain't feelin' right



Chorus:

Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find

Before you find out it's too late, girl

You better get straight

Verse 2:



Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of

paradise

But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice

Don't you see no matter what you do

You'll never run away from you

And if you keep on runnin'

You'll have to pay the price

That road goes nowhere

I'm gonna help you find yourself another way
