Whatever It Is, I Just Can't Stop Lyrics - Emergency On Planet Earth - Jamiroquai

Written by Jay Kay and Toby Smith 

If I pick it up I can put it down, 

Whatever it is I just can't stop, 

For only 20 seconds at a time it's all mine. 

I got, too much, pressure, 

Got me under it's thumb 

And it's no fun, you can lose 

Now I got a choice but I can't choose 

Insistent as you are, is no guarantee that you'll go far 

Rock steady if you can 

But I've never been a steady man, 

People, wanna shoot you down, 

If you can't swim then you will drown 

In sorrow, can't get any medical attention till tomorow,

Sadlands, are where I live, 

But that's none of your business, 

You keep asking, and soon enough 

The kids gonna have to get rough, 

Photos 

Maybe I'm a speed king 

Push with the foot and I'm smiling, 

I can glide on the love inside, 

And there was you thinking that my hands were tied 

All along I saw you hoping 

I would slip and I'm not joking 

The evidence in these events 

Is still your lack of commonsense 

Did you really think that I would sink 

Because I like another drink 

Have to get up to get down 

The remedy is the sound 

Absurdity of your suggestion, leaves me asking just one question, 

If you're my friend today? 

Why do you wanna hear me say? 

If I pick it up, can I put it down? 

Whatever it is, I just can't stop. (repeat)
