So Here I Come - Neneh Cherry

I can see this picture of myself

In a green dress I felt lost

The first time I went to school

I was 4 feet 2, 6 feet scared and so distressed

This dress was green, I was the best dressed

I’d ever been, first day at school

I said teacher teacher I know my ABC’s

I want to read and write, I want to understand

Why the sky never ends and why the sky is blue

And not white — right

But when I spoke my heart broke

Cause it was plain to see that school

Would never be the picture for my fantasy

I know where I’m going and where I’m coming from

So here I come, so here I come

Slowly I came to discover

Time, heals, time feels so young

When you’re having fun

At 13 my kiss was sweet and not deep

Covered in blush kiss 'n tell

My lips were deep red and shiny as hell

In my stairwell kiss «n» love discovered me

Undercover my fantasy my first kiss hit and miss

He wasn’t impressed cause I wouldn’t get undressed

Wrote my name on the wall — my hair was pressed

He had blue balls

If you want to rock you’ve got to roll it

If you gonna live you’ve got to show it

And if you’re gonna do it, you got to do it right — don’t you know it

On the rooftops I seen panties drop

And thru the windows behind the screens

In the red light after a fight love was made

Love was saved

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 in hell just to go straight to heaven

I might have been lost but now I’m found

I got my two feet on the ground
