Couldn't Get It Right Lyrics - Fun Lovin Criminals

Time is driftin', this rock has got to roll, 

So I hit the road and made my getaway. 

Restless feeling, I really gotta hold, 

I started searching for a better way. 

[Chorus] 

And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night, 

But I couldn't see the light, no I couldn't see the light. 

I kept on lookin' for a way to take me through the night, 

But I couldn't get it right, no I couldn't get it right. 

La fever, made me feel alright, 

But I must admit it got the best of me. 

Gettin' down, so deep I nearly drowned, 

I can't get back to where I used to be. 

[Chorus] 

New York city, took me with the tide, 

I nearly died from hospitality, 

Left me stranded, and took away my pride, 

Just another know it all fatality. 

[Chorus: Repeat to fade]
