Lyrics

I'M IN FOR SOMETHING GOOD

I've been livin' on high spin
Don't know whose body I've been livin' in
But, somethin's bound to be givin' in
And if things go like they should
I'm in for somethin' good
Oh yeah, I'm in for somethin' good
Let me tell you now ah yi yi yi yiiii
I'm in for somethin' good

I've been down so long
It looks like up
I hold my job like a beggar's cup
I know enough to say
When enough is enough
And if things go like they should
I'm in for somethin' good
Oh yeah, I'm in for somethin' good
Let me tell you now ah yi yi yi yiiii

I'm in for somethin'
I'm in for somethin'
I'm in for somethin' ah yi yi yi yiiiii
I'm in for somethin' good

I said I'm sorry
I said that's it
I give up but I never quit
The tides will rise
And sands will shift
And if things go like they should
I'm in for somethin' good
Oh yeah, I'm in for somethin' good
Let me tell you now ah yi yi yi yiiiii
I'm in for somethin'
I'm in for somethin' good

(vamp over melody)






Bloody murder
It's a cryin' shame
I could point my finger
At the ones to blame
I'm not a kiss and tell
So I ain't sayin'
But if things go like they should
I'm in for somethin' good
Oh yeah, I'm in for somethin' good
Let me tell you now ah yi yi yi yiiiI
I'm in for somethin'
I'm in for somethin'
La da de da da da
Somethin' good
Oh yeah, I'm in for somethin' good
