Oysters - MeShell Ndegeocello

Somebody wishing on a shooting star

Shooting star streaming 'cross the sky

You know it's just a meteorite

People throwing pennies on a wishing well

Wishing well's gonna run dry

But I ain't gonna leave you tonight

Everybody talking about changing the world

World ain't never gonna change

But you could always change it for me

I'll shuck all the oysters and you 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 don't get it right

Sometimes you won't get it right

But when you do it's outta sight

Sometimes you do get it right
