Tom Tom Club - MEASURE UP lyrics

If you live in the city or you live in the bush

Love is a thing that you just don't rush

Look at my boyfriend and then you'll see what I mean

I'm not gonna blow it by spoiling his dream

I can see that apple high up in a tree

I'm not going to rock it, let it fall to me

Speak of the devil and he'll walk right in

If he talks to me I'll just give him in

Take a little measure, Take a little measure

Measure of my heart

Measure up

The shark could eat me

Or I could eat the shark

Measure up

Take a little measure, Take a little measure

Measure of my soul

Measure up

If there's still cold water, then I'm running cool

Measure Up

If you live in the mountains or down by the sea

Love is a thing to make you make your heart beat

I went for a ride, I just jumped to my feet

I smile so hard, you can see all of my teeth

The boy fills me with such energy

I'll play this hand intuitively

We'll ignore the problems that destroy the rest

Turn good to better, and better to best

Take a little measure, Take a little measure

Measure of my heart

Measure up

The shark could eat me

Or I could eat the shark

Measure up

Take a little measure, Take a little measure

Measure of my soul

Measure up

If there's still cold water, then I'm running cool

Measure Up

If you live in the desert or among the trees

Love is a thing to take at your ease

??? survive the waste

We'll serve the time for the rest of our days

We'll see all the places that we've never been

No matter where our love will begin

I know he's not the only fish in the sea

But, man-oh-man there is no other for me

Take a little measure, Take a little measure

Measure of my heart

Measure up

The shark could eat me

Or I could eat the shark

Measure up

Take a little measure

Measure of my soul

If there's still cold water, then I'm running cool

Measure Up
