The Drifters Lyrics
You never heard this one from me
I wanted to belong to what I fear
And we're supposed to laugh it off
We're very limited in honesty
A sense of belonging just for once in my life
I thought you were God and Elvis rolled into one
This is my life and it's all I have
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
There's no connection to my past
And if it's hurting me, it's teaching me
You took your pill today, for sure
You're desperate for your friends to like you more
When Kennedy spoke you'd hear America sigh
The poor seeking solace in their God that's above
We scream and we fight, it's all we have
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
If I were a girl and you were born as a boy
I'd know I'm still here when someone's hurting me badly
Failure's beautiful to me
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
I wanted to belong to what I fear
And we're supposed to laugh it off
We're very limited in honesty
I thought you were God and Elvis rolled into one
This is my life and it's all I have
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
And if it's hurting me, it's teaching me
You took your pill today, for sure
You're desperate for your friends to like you more
The poor seeking solace in their God that's above
We scream and we fight, it's all we have
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
I'd know I'm still here when someone's hurting me badly
Failure's beautiful to me
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own

Maybe I'm bad with history, anyhow, what does this mean? "When Kennedy spoke you'd hear America sigh" .hmm.. listening to this song right now. To me, it sounds like he is saying "'Cause we know, my life is still my own." Did he get the title from the book "The Drifters" can't remember... I love this song. i like the 'feel' it has.
