What Went Down lyrics

I buried my heart

in a hole

in the ground

With the lights

and the roses

and the cowards

downtown

They threw me a party

there was

no-one around

They tried to call my girl

but she could not

be found

I buried my guilt

in a pit in the sand

With the rust

and the vultures

and the trash downtown

So don't step to me

kid you'll never be found

'Cause while

you were sleeping

I took over your town

Ooooh

ooooh

ooooh

ooooh

When I see a man

I see a lion

when I see a man

I see a lion

You're the apple

of my eye, of my eye

of my eye, you're the

apple of my eye

of my eye I want ya

I fell for a girl

with a port-wine stain

I knew her initials

but never her name

I tried and I tried

and I was never

the same

So no longer for love

and I'm forever changed

Ooooh

ooooh

ooooh

ooooh

When I see a man

I see a lion

when I see a man

I see a lion

You're the apple

of my eye, of my eye

of my eye, you're the

apple of my eye

of my eye I want ya

I gave up my money

gave up my name

take it away

I'll give it away

I'll give it away, I'll give it

When I see a man

I see a lion

when I see a man

I see a lion

When I see a man

I see a lion

when I see a man

I see a lion

You're the apple

of my eye, of my eye

of my eye, you're the

apple of my eye

of my eye I want ya

Give up my money

give up my name

take it away

I'll give it away

I'll give it away, I'll give it

I'm a sycophantic animal

I'm a sycophantic animal

I'm a sycophantic animal

Break up the chain

I'll break up the chain

I'll break it

give it away

I'll give it away, I'll give it

When I see a man

I see a lion

when I see a man

I see a lion

You're the apple

of my eye, of my eye

of my eye, you're the

apple of my eye

of my eye I want ya

Give up my money

give up my name

take it away

I give it away

I give it away, I give it

See you again

I'll see you again

I'll see ya

give it away

I'll give it away, I'll give it

When I feel low

when I feel low

I feel it

When I see a man

I see a lion

when I see a man

I see a lion

You're the apple

of my eye, of my eye

of my eye, you're the

apple of my eye

of my eye I want ya

So happy to have discovered Lucky Voice. We'd never tried karaoke before, but this is so much fun! So many great songs and so easy to use. Love it!

Easy to set up, entertains the little ones by day and the adults by night.
