Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind

When I was younger I used to always dream
Of waking up Christmas morning and strollin’ through NYC
Snow in Central Park, a limo with my own chauffeur
Feeling like a big-shot, Kevin McCallister
And then I realized on 5th Avenue
Millions of people walk by but none of ‘em look like you
Helpless and alone, two things you never wanna hear
I need love like yours to keep me through until next year

And ooh I knew that you’d be true
Even when I wasn’t with you
So please ignore my selfish ways and please just stay
So baby don’t slip-slide away, cause...

I keep feelin’ all this loneliness without you
I wanna tell ya that I’m more than ‘just about you’
Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind

Twenty years later I’m feeling the gravity
Life moving twice as fast and getting the best of me
So, can you try to make it slow down?
Cause this anxiety is all around
I wanna feel comfortable, I wanna sing in tune
You bring me sunshine, when I’m howling at the moon
You can be the flame and maybe I can be your spark
That ignites the feeling deep inside each other’s hearts

And ooh I knew that you’d be true
Even when I wasn’t with you
So please ignore my selfish ways and please just stay
So baby don’t slip-slide away

I keep feelin’ all this loneliness without you
I wanna tell ya that I’m more than ‘just about you’
Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind

I keep feelin’ all this loneliness without you
I wanna tell ya that I’m more than ‘just about you’
Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind

I keep feeling’ all this loneliness without you
I wanna tell ya that I’m more than ‘just about you’
Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind
