Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night

But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight

Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried

To fill the emptiness inside

But when you come back down, girl

Still ain't feelin' right



Chorus:

(And don't it seem like)

Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find

And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind

Before you find out it's too late, girl

You better get straight



No, but not with kicks

You just need help, girl



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



[repeat chorus]



Bridge:



No, you don't need kicks

To help you face the world each day

That road goes nowhere

I'm gonna help you find yourself another way



Chorus:

(And don't it seem like)

Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find

(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)

And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind

(You just need help, girl)

Before you find out it's too late, girl

You better get straight



[repeat chorus to fade
