Lyrics Shock to My System - Roberta Flack
A
message
came
across
a
void
And
for
the
first
time
in
my
life
I'm
awake,
I'm
alive
I
thought
I
was
immune
to
this
'Til
I
felt
the
static
charges
in
the
air
I
touch
you,
you're
a
live
wire
You're
the
raw
fire
burning
in
my
heart
It
took
me
by
surprise,
that's
no
lie
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
A
spark,
a
real
shock
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
You
start,
I
can't
stop
You
taught
me
how
to
listen,
shock
to
my
system
My
soul,
my
skin,
you
plug
me
in
And
all
of
my
pain
is
gone
just
like
it
never
was
For
the
first
time
in
my
life
I
know
what
I
feel
Now
every
time
we
touch
I'm
caught
off
my
guard
That's
no
lie
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
A
spark,
a
real
shock
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
You
start,
I
can't
stop
You
taught
me
how
to
listen,
shock
to
my
system
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
A
spark,
a
real
shock
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
You
start,
I
can't
stop
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
A
spark,
a
real
shock
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
You
start,
I
can't
stop
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
You
know
you
are,
you
are
a
sharp,
shock
to
my
system
A
message
came
across
a
void
And
for
the
first
time
in
my
life
