Lyrics:
Multiply [Version (a)]:
Well I'm sure it never used to be so hard, this hard
I used to get those kicks for free
But now I'm towing the line, ohhh
This ain't no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
Could have been the sun don't shine
Although I'll tell you that I'm doing fine
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
Sure ain't never used to be in trouble, so much trouble
But love is just a shackle, I see
Coming out of my mind... oooh
This aint no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
The sun's going down
It's getting dark in here
Still folks say:
"I got nothing to fear!"
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
People on the street, there are many many
People on the moon, there ain't any any
Running down the same old coal
Taking it down 'cause I no control
So tired...
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
Well I'm sure it never used to be so hard, this hard
I used to get those kicks for free
But now I'm towing the line, ohhh
This ain't no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
Could have been the sun don't shine
Although I'll tell you that I'm doing fine
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
Sure ain't never used to be in trouble, so much trouble
But love is just a shackle, I see
Coming out of my mind... oooh
This aint no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
The sun's going down
It's getting dark in here
Still folks say:
"I got nothing to fear!"
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
People on the street, there are many many
People on the moon, there ain't any any
Running down the same old coal
Taking it down 'cause I no control
So tired...
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
I'm so tired of beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile
