Lyrics Rubberneckin
Stop (stop), look and listen, baby, that’s my philosophy (yes, it is now) It’s called rubberneckin’, baby, but that’s alright with me
Stop (stop), look and listen, baby, that’s my philosophy (yes, it is now) It’s called rubberneckin’, baby, but that’s alright with me
People say I’m wasting time, but they don’t really know I like what I see, and I see what I like, it gives me such a glow (oh-oh, yeah-yeah)
First thing in the morning, the last thing at night I look, stare everywhere, and see everything in sight, hey, hey, hey
Stop (stop), look and listen, baby, that’s my philosophy (yes, it is now) It’s called rubberneckin’, baby, but that’s alright with me (it’s alright)
People say I’m wasting time, yeah, but I don’t really care I see what I like, and I like what I see, and it gives me such a glow (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sittin’ on the back porch, all by myself (oh, yeah) Along came Mary Jane with somebody else, hey, hey, hey
Stop (stop), look and listen (and listen) baby, that’s my philosophy (yes, it is now) It’s called rubberneckin’, baby, and it’s alright with me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hey, hey, hey, baby, that’s alright with me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Rubberneckin’, baby, but that’s alright with me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
