From the recording Moke Ivey Volume 1
Lyrics
ON THE FLOOR AGAIN
Words and Music by Jon Mark Ivey and Kristin Wilkinson
You’re really stirring up my head
With the words you said
You keep saying it over and over
How much can this man take
Before he breaks, under the weight
Things we wanted thought we had to have
They don’t act as a strong enough salve
I’m on the floor again
Beggin for a plate
Same old familiar spin
Hanging on to what I hate
How much can this house hold
Before the walls fold
How much can this heart hold
Yeah
And what I really meant to say was that I loved you
Just not today, when you act this way
Yeah, just not today when you act this way
It’s like you’re going crazy
How much can this man take
Under the weight, under the weight
Well i’m on the floor again
Beggin for a plate
Same old familiar spin
Hanging on is it too late
Well you really tore up the night
But you left the ring without a fight
Is that right?
i’m on the floor again
Beggin’ for a plate
Same old familiar spin
Hanging on is it too late
But I’m hanging in, I’m hanging on
To what I hate
I'm on the floor again
And I’m begging for a plate
I’m Hanging in, hanging on
To what I hate
I’m on the floor again
And I’m begging for a plate from you
Hanging in Hanging on
Hanging on to what I hate (And I’m lappin’ it up)
