Maybe you’re getting sloppy
Under the midday sun oh yeah.
You come on like a carbon copy
But I just wanna hang to the way you live.
Don’t you want the love I got to give

Silly thing hey hey	silly thing hey hey
Well it don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that
swing
Silly thing hey hey   yeah   hey hey.

Silly thing hey hey	silly thing hey hey
Well it don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that
swing
Silly thing hey hey   yeah   hey hey.

that swing
Silly thing hey hey	repeat and fade /pre>
