Joy In Repetition Lyrics

    {crowd noise same as for "alphabet street"}

    He like to frequent this club down up on 36th
    Pimps and thangs like 2 hang outside and cuss for kicks

    Talking 2 no one in particular, they say "the baddest i am tonight"
    4 letter words are seldom heard with such dignity and bite.
    All the poets and the part time singers always hang inside
    Live music from a band plays a song called "soul psychodelicide".
    The song's a year long and had been playing 4 months when he
    Walked into the place.
    No one seemed to care, an introverted this-is-it look on most of their faces.
    Up on the mic repeating 2 words, over and over again
    Was this woman he had never noticed before he lost himself in the
    Articulated manner in which she said them.
    These 2 words, a little bit behind the beat.
    I mean just enough 2 turn u on.
    4 everytime she said the words another one of his doubts were gone.

    Should he try 2 rap with her? should he stand and stare?
    No one else was watching her, she didn't seem 2 care.
    So over and over, she said the words til he could take no more, (no more)
    He dragged her from the stage and together they ran through the back door
    In the alley over by the curb he said tell me what's your name
    She only said the words again and it started to rain (rain, rain, rain)
    2 words falling between the drops and the moans of his condition
    Holding someone is truly believing there's joy in repetition.
    There's joy in repetition.
    There's joy in repetition.
    There's joy in repetition.
    There's joy in repetition.
    She said love me, love me, what she say?
    She say love me, love me.
    Joy, why don't u love me baby, joy, why can't u love me baby
    Joy, come on and love me baby, joy in repetition
    Alright, joy in repetition,
    Alright, joy in repetition,
    Alright, joy in repetition,
    Alright, joy, all my wishes add up to one
    Love me, joy, love me, joy, love me, joy
    Love me, love me, joy, joy, joy in repetition
    Joy, joy in repetition,
    Joy, joy (love me) in repetition,
    Love me, love, joy, joy, joy in repetition
    Joy, and i'm gonna say it again, joy, joy, and i'm gonna say it again,
    Joy, i'd like 2 go way up high and say, love me, joy
    I'll say love me, joy
    Joy, joy in repetition, joy in repetition
    There's joy in repetition
