Slap Bang In The Middle Songtext
von Roger Chapman

Yeah, I′ll paint a little picture in your mind
Well, well, well, mmm, yeah
Paint a little picture in your mind, oh
You've got to visualize

You′ll have to visualize the sister of swing
She's sweet as her love and pretty as sin
Pretty as sin, pretty as sin
She tears me to pieces when the lovin' begins

Now, the last time, she was so strong
She stung me so deep, I′m hurting right to the bone
Right to the bone, right to the bone
Caught me a fever to leave her alone

And it′s slap bang in the middle
We stand up, fuss and we fight
Slap bang in the middle
She's whispering, "Ooh, baby, that′s nice"


Hey, slap bang in the middle
We stand up, fuss and we fight
Slap bang in the middle
She's whispering, "Nice"

You have to realize that when she′s away
This house ain't no home
I stand at my window, I′m a figure of stone
Figure of stone, figure of stone
Victim of passion and the pleasure is gone

Now, we're taught to magic, you and I know
We're laughing conductors, gypsies in soul
Gypsies in soul, girl, gypsies in soul
Be so damn foolish just to let it get cold

And it′s slap bang in the middle
Stand up, fuss and we fight
Slap bang in the middle
She′s whispering, "Ooh, that's nice"

Hey, slap bang in the middle
We stand up, fuss and we fight
Slap bang in the middle
She′s whispering, "Oh, yeah, hey, I'm ready to fly"


She taught me to rumba
And ball and the jack
Now she put the thunder
Into my eyes, I′m back in my act
She got me running, not staying alive
She got me jumping, fussing and fighting
I'm ready to fly
She′s whispering, "Nice"
Hey, hey, hey, hey

And it's slap bang in the middle
Stand up, fuss and we fight
Slap bang in the middle
She's whispering, "Woo, that′s nice"

Slap bang in the middle
We′re standing up, hey, we fuss and we fight
Slap bang in the middle
I'm ready to fly, yeah

Slap bang in the middle
Stand up, fuss and we fight
Slap bang in the middle
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na through the night, no breaks
Slap bang in the middle
We′re standing up, woo, doing all kind of things
Yeah, in the middle, baby, baby, baby, baby
Slap bang in the middle, hey
