Can i have a word lyrics

Can I have a word, please?
It can be any word.
Just give me a word.

We can all share the rest.
Just let me have one.
It can be anything.
I’d take canteen or avid.
I’d even settle for timely.

But you can’t use my word,
whatever it is,
without asking.
Because it’s my word.

And I’ll almost always let you use it when you ask.
Unless, for example, my word is wonderful
and you want to use it to describe a movie I haven’t seen yet
or a movie I saw already and didn’t care for.

I rеally want everything.
That’s my first choice.
Flabbеrgasted is a close second.

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

ENGLISH

I hold out an arm inside an empty shell
Even if I wanted for there to be something in it
I guess it won’t happen

Ah   Right away I feel depressed
Because a dark night is finally coming
Ah   I look for the little lights
But they’re so far away

See, see, if you hold out your hand
It might just be within your grasp now
Ah   But since it’s still not quite yours
Jump over the things in your way Boy

Come on, come on
Games without allure are no fun, are they?
Come on, come on   You’re so timid
You’ve still got a shot before tomorrow

Always and forever, like the wind
Exciting, even more so
Gently, like a wave
Miracles are the only thing that happen for sure

Can I Have A Word   Hearts racing
Can I Have A Word   Being excited
Can I Have A Word   We’ll have fun
Can I Have A Word   Doing those things, now won’t we?
Can I Have A Word   Hearts racing
Can I Have A Word   Being excited
Can I Have A Word   We’ll have fun
Can I Have A Word   Doing those things, now won’t we?

I hold out an arm inside an empty cage
I can look, hoping for something to be in it
But there’s nothing there

Ah   I notice right away
Because a cold night is coming
Ah   I’m still looking for that one person
But it’s hard

See, see, if you hold out your hand
It might just be within your grasp now
Ah  But since it’s still not quite yours
Jump over the things in your way Boy

Come on, come on
Games without allure are no fun, are they?
Come on, come on   You’re so timid
You’ve still got a shot before tomorrow

Always and forever, like the wind
Exciting, even more so
Gently, like a wave
Miracles are the only thing that happen for sure

Come on, come on
Games without allure are no fun, are they?
Come on, come on   You’re so timid
You’ve still got a shot before tomorrow

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
