M-TV Lyrics by Kwick

Foreplay

0

OWW!

[Verse 1]
I sing the songs, that people like to hear
I sing the words, I sing them loud and clear
And I wear the clothes, that if the sides were loose
What's to do? I've been around a long time
And I paid my dues

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So don't you think that I'm complaining, don't you get me wrong
I'm a music lover, I like the Rolling Stones

[Chorus]
Still, I can't understand it for the life of me
Why can't I be on MTV?
I can't understand it for the life of me
Why can't I be on MTV? Alright... OW!
I can't understand it, I just can't understand it
Why can't I be on MTV?

[Verse 2]
I perform all kinds of music: soul, pop and jazz
Except when I perform, I add a little pizzazz
You see, now drummer's beat is steady, my bass stands on top
My guitar plays a heavy rhythm, with just a touch of rock

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm very photogenic with imagination
I'm hot on the trot, I'm on the radio station

[Chorus]
So I can't understand it for the life of me
Why can't I be on MTV?
I can't understand it for the life of me
Why can't I be on MTV?
I can't understand it for the life of me
A-is it my music, or is it me?
I can't understand it for the life of me
Just why can't I be on MTV?

[Intrelude]
My agent's done all that he could do
'Cause all he seemed to hear is "Don't call us, we'll call you"
The bloody yanks!
Ow, ey-yahoo! Music television, MTV
Ooh-hoo-hoo, OW!

[Bridge]
Can't understand it, I just can't understand it
Music television, I just can't understand it, no no (no, no, no)
Can't understand it, no no
I-I-I-I-I, OW!
I can't understand it, no no
I-I-I-I-I, OW!

[Outro]
I can't understand it, no no
I can't understand it, no no
I can't understand it, no no
I can't understand it, no no
