[From the CD single "Stop Baby, pt II", 1991]
I didn't get it, not at all
When to run or when to crawl
Consistency, that's not my game
A whisper, then a shout
My youthfulness, I sense today
Forever may have fell away
Reluctantly, I have to say
It's time we talked things out
Cos I think I've got the message
I can hear you loud and clear
You don't have to spell it out for me, my dear
You don't have to paint a picture
Or whisper in my ear
Cos I think I've got the message, loud and clear
I don't know what gets into me
Makes me act so foolishly
The steady hand, once in control
Been missing, here of late
I know it's been a bumpy ride
So up and down, from side to side
I'll get my head out of the clouds
And try to see things straight
Cos I think I've got the message
I can hear you loud and clear
You don't have to spell it out for me, my dear
You don't have to paint a picture
Or whisper in my ear
Cos I think I've got the message, loud and clear
You don't have to paint no picture
Or whisper in my ear
I think I've got the message loud and clear
Yes, I think I've got the message
Loud and clear
