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
