Blues Traveler - Felicia lyrics

rate me

Music & Lyrics: John Popper

And if my two left feet could settle down and split the difference

Tripping over myself in every way that I know how

Perhaps in time I could surpass my coy facade of vast indifference

But I've already reached the maximum of what my law allows

You tell me to relax you tell me

Not to try so hard

But in the end it only makes me want to more

To figure out some way to play some major part

So I watch her move and I watch her work

Satisfy my voyeuristic quirk

Old habits they are hard to break

Just harder than it is to take

And when she looks away I tap my feet

I try my best to be discreet

Careful so she won't find out

How much I want to shout

Come on and dance with me Felicia

And show me how to do that step I never thought I could

You always move so gracefully

And I was never any good

But maybe if you'll dance with me

I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah Felicia

The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me

Come on Felicia set me free

And when you start to close your eyes

You know you move so beautifully

I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia

I suppose the thing that gets me most is that if I'd bothered ever

I wouldn't feel so much like Casey who never got to bat

You cannot help but laugh at me singing better late than never

And more and more I realize I have no argument for that

I can almost work up the nerve for a declaration

I can almost hear me speak the words as I gain resolve

But then you move and you twirl and you smile at me

And my inhibition and my courage both dissolve

And so I'm standing there and I do not move

In spite of her momentous groove

And for a moment I can barely see

A glimpse of how good it could be

And then I must admit that I want to try

To look Felicia in the eye

And when the music starts to play

To smile at her and say

Come on and dance with me Felicia

And show me how to do that step I never thought I could

You always move so gracefully

And I was never any good

But maybe if you'll dance with me

I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah Felicia

The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me

Come on Felicia set me free

And when you start to close your eyes

You know you move so beautifully

I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia

And so I'm standing there and I do not move

In spite of her momentous groove

And for a moment I can barely see

A glimpse of how good it could be

And then I must admit that I want to try

To look Felicia in the eye

And when the music starts to play

To smile at her and say

Come on and dance with me Felicia

And show me how to do that step I never thought I could

You always move so gracefully

And I was never any good

But maybe if you'll dance with me

I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah Felicia

The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me

Come on Felicia set me free

And when you start to close your eyes

You know you move so beautifully

I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia

I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia

Dance with me I want to dance with you Felicia
