Lyrics The Message in the Middle of the Bottom - Chaka Khan
I
never
meant
a
single
thing
when
you
tried
it
You
know
it,
I
felt
it,
I
liked
it,
I
did
it
I
never
meant
to
put
it
there
but
somewhere
in
despair
It
got
moved
into
view,
then
I
liked
it
I
never
meant
a
single
word
when
I
said
I
could
love
you
I
thought
it,
I
heard
it,
I
used
it
I
never
meant
a
single
beat
of
my
heart
to
be
yours
′Cause
I
knew,
if
you
knew,
you'd
abuse
it
There′s
a
message
in
the
middle
of
the
bottom
You
see
'em,
you
love
'em,
you
got
′em
There′s
a
proper
time
to
pick
'em
when
they′re
fallen
Just
listen,
you'll
hear
′em
a
callin'
There′s
a
special
way
to
know
you
got
his
lovin'
Can't
you
feel
it,
you
ought
to,
you
taught
him
There′s
a
special
time
for
lovin′
and
another
time
For
huggin'
and
a
lot
of
time
to
leave
him
alone
I
have
a
feelin′
deep
inside
that
I've
got
you
I′ll
keep
you,
why
not?
It'll
make
me
feel
better
If
there′s
a
woman
on
this
earth
who
should
love
you
It's
me
boy,
don't
fight
it,
admit
it,
you
love
it
If
you
think
there′s
someone
else
who
can
move
you
I′ll
lose
you,
no
problem,
you're
free
to
go
get
her
I
just
refuse
to
let
a
lady
step
in
on
my
show
If
you
choose,
do
it
now
or
forget
it
There′s
a
message
in
the
middle
of
the
bottom
You
see
'em,
you
love
′em,
you
got
'em
There′s
a
proper
time
to
pick
'em
when
they're
fallen
Just
listen,
you′ll
hear
′em
a
callin'
There′s
a
special
way
to
know
you
got
his
lovin'
Can′t
you
feel
it,
you
ought
to,
you
taught
him
There's
a
special
time
for
lovin′
and
another
time
For
huggin'
and
a

of
time
to
leave
him
alone
