Miracles (Marie Knight)

(Sit down) No I can't sit down
(Sit down) No no I can't sit down
(Hey girl) No no I can't sit down (sit down)
I just got a message and I can't sit down

(Sit down) No no I can't sit down
(Sit down) Never never never never will sit down
(Hey hey sit down) Go away don't bother me I can't sit down
I just got a message and I can't sit down

My old man hollers that I ain't no good
I don't do my homework like I should
He thinks I'm a-gonna be a no good hood
I feel like a-walking but I can't sit down

(Sit) No no I can't sit down
(Down) Oh no no no no no no no I can't sit down
(Sit down) Uh uh I can't sit down
I just got a message and I can't sit down

People yapping in my classroom seat
Feel so jumpy since I found the beat
The teacher yelling are you sick can you breathe
I just got a message and I can't sit down

(Sit down) No no I can't sit down
Oh no I can't sit down
Go away don't bother me I can't sit down
I just got a message and I can't sit down

Feel like a-rocking I'm afraid to bite
I just got a message and I can't sit down
I'm rocking and a-rolling and a-hopping all night
I just got a message and I can't sit down

(Sit down) No no I can't sit down
No no no no no no I can't sit down
Now go away don't bother me I can't sit down
I just got a message and I can't sit down
I just got a message and I can't sit down
I just got a message and I can't sit down
I just got a message and I can't
Sit
Down
I just got a message and I can't sit down
