Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last 
night 
But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you 
uptight 
Well, here's nothin' that you ain't tried 
To fill the emptiness inside 
But when you come back down, girl 
Still ain't feelin' right 
  
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find 
Oh, you don't need kicks, girl 
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind 
You just need help, girl 
Before you find out it's too late, girl 
You better get straight 
  
No, but not with kicks 
You just need help, girl 
  
Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of 
paradise 
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice 
Don't you see no matter what you do 
You'll never run away from you 
And if you keep on runnin' 
You'll have to pay the price 
  
No, you don't need kicks 
To help you face the world each day 
That road goes nowhere 
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way
