Every now and then
When I'm banging on my pots and pans
I give into the trance
Playing innocent
I lose my senses one by one
I hear her voice I feel her pulse
I wonder now if I
Will have to wander 'til I can't no more
Politics aside
I'm hiding in a raincoat
Patiently outside her door
And if she won't answer I won't go
I swear
Cuz every now and then
A demon's hiding in my head
So every now and then
I'm banging on my pots and pans
Keep me on your mind
You don't keep me on your mind for long
But something bout tonight
Has got you thinking twice
Now wait a second hear me out
Those other boys gon' do you wrong
I swear
And I don't give a damn
No I won't have a passing care
But every now and then
I'm banging on my pots and pans"
