Sometimes a song is funky
Cause you feel that way
A song might be easy and melancholy on another day

Sometimes a song gets mean and evil cause it ain’t goin’ right
Sometimes a song just try to get nervous cause you might be uptight

Sometimes a song is tender
Sometimes a song is sad
Maybe that evening that you wrote this song that’s all the feeling you had

Sometimes a song just feels real good and lays right there in the groove
Sometimes a song might make you just wanna get up and move

Sometimes a song is somethin’
That you never forget
But you keep on thinking that you ain’t wrote the song yet
