Lyrics

I'm Gonna Follow You

[Verse 1]

I'm gonna follow you 'till I wear you down

I'm gonna follow you 'cause this here's my town

You don't know these streets the way that I do (I do, I do)

You can't turn it on and off the way that I do (I do, I do)

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna follow you 'till I know your timing

You'll turn some corner soon and find you can't get by me

You don't know these streets the way that I do (I do, I do)

You can't turn it on and off the way that I do (I do, I do)

[Chorus]

You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley

You come around here in your ballet slippers

Padding on my alley

And you know that you can't dance

'Cause you know you never had the chance

I'm gonna dance for you

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

I'm gonna follow you 'till I wear you down

I'm gonna follow you 'cause this here's my town

You don't know these streets the way that I do (I do, I do)

You can't turn it on and off the way that I do (I do, I do)

[Chorus]

You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley

You come around here in your ballet slippers

Padding on my alley

And you know that you can't dance

'Cause you know you never had the chance

I'm gonna dance for you

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (I-I-I-I-I)
