Girl, you think you found the answer

On that magic carpet ride last night

But when you wake up in the morning the world still gets you uptight

Well, there ain't nothing you ain't tried

To fill the emptiness inside

When you come back down, girl, still ain't feeling right

Don't it seem like kicks just keep getting harder to find

And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind

Before you find out it's too late, girl, you better get straight

Girl, you don't need kicks

You just need help, girl

Well, you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise

But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice

Don't you see no matter what you do

You can never run away from you

If you keep on running, you'll have to pay the price

Don't it seem like kicks just keep getting harder to find

And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind

Before you find out it's too late, girl, you better get straight

Girl, you don't need kicks

To help you face the world each day

That road leads nowhere

And I'm gonna help you to find yourself another way

Kicks just keep getting harder to find

Oh, you know your kicks, girl

Kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind

Oh, before you find out it's too late, girl, you better get straight

Don't it seem like kicks just keep getting harder to find

Oh, you know your kicks, girl

Kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind

Oh, before you find out it's too late, girl, you better get straight

Girl, you don't need kicks

You just need help, girl
