Everybody Hold Still Lyrics - Grace Jones

I knew I shouldn't have left the apartment 

I knew I should've stayed in watching TV 

If I'd looked at the moon and looked at my stars 

I wouldn't be in this mess I'm in right now 

I should've known when my car would not get started 

It should've clicked when indecision read its question mark 

If I'd ran back for the phone but instead I let it ring 

I wouldn't be in this mess I'm in right now 

Everybody hold still 

Nobody gets hurt 

I could've left all my cash and talent a credit card 

I should've said, "Don't wear no jewelery you're looking fine" 

If I'd ran back for the phone but instead I let it ring 

I wouldn't be in this miss I'm in right now 

Everybody hold still 

Nobody gets hurt 

Please don't take all of my money mister 

Don't take my money all money, money 

Everybody hold still 

Nobody gets hurt
