Just so you knowI came really closeI came really close to not putting on my big headphones tonightBut I couldn't do itAnd I could not bring myself to shaveIf I'm gonna face the world and be braveI'm gonna need body armourBut I'm out of my comfort zoneAnd this is the best shirt that I ownAnd I polished my shoes all on my ownJust so you knowThat it's not commonplaceFor me to make bootycallsBut talking to you here in this placeWell I guess that's what this isIt's 9:30pm and you're right where you said you'd beIn the queue for Ritzy's nightclub waiting for meAnd so I pretend just like we prearrangedThat I've never seen your face beforeAnd I don't know your nameBut I'm making an effort, can't you seeAnd I'll never get why you like R'n'BBut I'll pay my five pound entrance fee and follow you inSongtexteAnd it's all because nightclubsJust aren't the right clubsFor my feet I've foundI need twee clubs and ice cream tubsOn the high street of townAnd I don't know what's going onIn R Kelly's mindCause I see an awful lot wrong with a little bump n grindAnd the DJ is talking but I can't hear a single word that he saysCause he sounds like the man at the funfair who says 'We're gonna go faster'So I make my move with the sound of the bass line in my headMake my way to the bar in the dark and ask if you'd like a drinkAnd of course, you say that you wouldBut only on one condition you said'Would you please take those headphones off your head?'And I said 'Well, ok'But then I felt entirely nudeUntil you said 'Well, thank you for at least shining your shoes'But it was so loud and I couldn't hear you so I tried to smileAnd when you asked me to dance I knew then that that was the acid testI knew that if I just said yes, we'd have been fineBut I just couldn't do itMy body just wouldn't find the beatAnd I couldn't move either of my feet and I sure as hell couldn't grindAnd you said 'You see, you say you like music, but you never enjoy it'.'You don't get up, you don't dance, you just use it to push people away'Then you grabbed my headphones and put them onAnd pressed play on your favourite songThen you turned and you were gone and all I heard was this song'I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky''I think about it every night and day, spread my wings and fly away'But I don't blame R Kelly although I'd really like to know what that R stands forAnd how he'd move if he were on this dancefloor and whether he'd careThat I lost you that night in the flashing lights and the spilled pintsAnd the throb of the crowd and the sound of that music you likeYeah, I lost you that nightAnd it was all because nightclubsJust aren't the right clubsFor my feet I've foundI need twee clubs and ice cream tubsOn the high street of townAnd I don't know what's going onIn R Kelly's mindCause I see an awful lot wrong with a little bump n grindAnd I don't know what's going onIn R Kelly's mindCause I see an awful lot wrong with a little bump n grind Aus Songtexte Mania
