Mind The Gap
by: NabihaIsn't it funny?
I like to dance when I'm on my own
and whenever it's sunny (yeah)
you know I don't wanna stay at home
I fly in my dreams almost every night
and I'mma be down with miss Marple for life (ay)
It's the incidental things
that makes me who I am
Mind the gap
mind the girl
have another drink on me
grab a seat in the world
Yeah, have it your way
I don't give a damn about the looks I bear
Even when it snows I'm wearing flowers in my hair
Mind the gap
mind the girl
Life isn't easy
But I cry when I watch the news
Not everything's peachy, no
but let's keep a good attitude
My friends know I always run late on a plan
and I like a good man with humor and warm hands
It's the incidental things
that makes me who I am
Mind the gap
mind the girl
have another drink on me
grab a seat in the world
Yeah have it your way
I don't give a damn about the looks I bear
Even when it snows I'm wearing flowers in my hair
Mind the gap
mind the girl
Gotta do something crazy
at least once a day
it's good for you baby
sugar for the brain
(hahaha, peace)
Mind the gap
mind the girl

Grab a seat in the world
Yeah, have it your way
I don't give a damn about the looks I bear
even when it snows I'm wearing flowers in my hair
Mind the gap

Mind the gap
