Chaka Khan - The Message In The Middle Of The Bottom lyrics

I never meant a single thing when you tried it

You know it, I felt it, I liked it, I did it

I never meant to put it there but somewhere In dispair

It got moved into view, then I liked it

I never meant a single word when I said I could love you

I thought it, I heard it, I used it

I never meant a single beat of my heart to be yours

'Cause I knew, if you knew, you'd abuse it

[Chorus:]

There's a message in the middle of the bottom

You see 'em, you love 'em, you got 'em

There's a proper time to pick 'em when they're fallen

Just listen, you'll hear 'em a-callin

There's a special way to know you got his lovin'

Can't you feel it, you ought to, you taught him

There's a special time for lovin' and another time

For huggin and a lot of time to leave him alone

I have a feelin' deep inside that I've got you

I'll keep you. why not? it'll make me feel better

If there's a woman on this earth who should love you

It's me boy, don't fight it, admit it, you love it

If you think there's someone else who can move you

I'll lose you, no problem, you're free to go get her

I just refuse to let a lady step in on my show

If you choose, do it now or forget it

[Chorus]

I never meant a single thing when you tried it

You know it, I felt it, I liked it, I did it

I never meant to put it there but somewhere In dispair

It got moved into view, then I liked it

I never meant a single word when I said I could love you

I thought it, I heard it, I used it

I never meant a single beat of my heart to be yours

'Cause I knew, if you knew, you'd abuse it

[Chorus]

There's a special time for lovin' and another time

For huggin and a lot of time to leave him alone.

Message in the middle of the bottom

Message in the middle of the bottom

Message in the middle of the bottom

Message in the middle of the bottom

Message in the middle of the bottom
