Oysters

by Meshell Ndegeocello

Lyrics
Somebody wishing on a shooting star
Shooting star is dreaming close the sky
I know is just a meteorite.
People throwing pennies on a wishing well
Wishing well is gonna run dry
But Iโ€™m gonna leave you tonight.
Everybody talking about changing the world,
World ainโ€™t never gonna change
But you could always change it for me!
I'll shuck all the oysters and you can keep the pearl
I do my shucking and my jiving for free
Free... Like walking down the beach at night
Throw a bunch of lines out to the way you want
Till you get it right
Sometimes you donโ€™t get it right!
Sometimes you wonโ€™t get it right!
But when you do, it's outta sight
Sometimes you do, get it right
