[Verse 1: Martina Topley-Bird]
If our time was right (Ooh)
If our time is right
It would have come
The [?] is you're the only one
Push on the lights and another fate
Have you seen my chance?
It might be too late
I woke up with a plan
It's simple to me
What I had in my hand
Between my teeth
Cause I'm torn inside
And soft throughout
Boo it all
Ready to bow

[Verse 2: Martina Topley-Bird]
Upside down
Don't wear it thin
'Till it's [?] it will begin
Through the blustering wooden cages
Cover up mouth, it's contagious
Jigsaw thinking, don't fit right
Air's too warm, my skin feels tight
Oh, they're cueing, way too late
How I hate being late
( [?] )
[?] money
I was told there would be honey
Dreams that we cheat through the night
If you go down to the mix tonight
