Paul Revere & the Raiders Lyrics
Kicks

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 a-you ain't tried,
To fill the emptiness inside.
But when you come back down, girl,
Still ain't feelin' right.

Well, 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,

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, 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.

(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.)

And don't it seem like,
(Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find.)
Oh, you don't need kicks, girl.
[Fade.]
(And all your kicks ain't,)
(Bringin' you peace of mind.)
Oh, you just need help, girl.
(Before you find out it's too late,)
(Girl, you better get straight.)
