This might be my worst "translation". I know I'm normally pretty good at this, but there are just a few words on this song that I can't figure out! If I had more time to sit down and really listen, I could probably get it... but I have a lot of homework to do and lesson plans to write, so here's what I have. Maybe you ladies can help figure out the rest! Anything with - - - is a place where there are several words I can't make out and I don't know exactly how many there are.
Somethin’ shinin’ in a Blackbird’s eye
- - - grass right on by
I pick it up
I pick it up, yeah
I pick it up
I pick it up
Melody in the car stereo
- - - best of roads
You gotta pick it up
To pick it up, yeah
Pick it up
To pick it up
Pretty girl with your headphones, eyes closed
So hot it’s criminal
I got a message, subliminal
Won’t ya pick it up
I don’t let you pass me by
Heaven smiles like - - -
I said this may be my, my once in a lifetime
My heart is on the floor now baby
Why don’t ya pick it up
Pick it up
So why don’t ya pick it up
Pick it up
I sit down at an old piano
I write a song for the world to know
Ya gotta put it down to pick it up
Hey, put it down to pick it up baby
I play it loud while you’re dancin’ in your nightgown
Neighbors yellin’ just to keep that noise down
I turn it up
Turn it up
Turn it up
Just to turn it up
Sometimes this love is easy
Gravity - - -
You gotta love so love on me
Won’t ya pick it up
I don’t let you pass me by
Heaven smiles like - - -
This may be my, my once in a lifetime
My heart is on the floor now baby
Why don’t ya pick it up
- Instrumental Break -
Sometimes this love easy
Gravity - - -
Ya gotta love so love on me
Won’t ya pick it up
I don’t let you pass me by
Heaven smiles like - - -
This may be my, my once in a lifetime
My heart is on the floor now baby
Why don’t ya pick it up
Pick it up
So why don’t ya pick it up
Pick it up, yeah
So why don’t ya pick it up
Pick it up
