Lyrics

Heh
G-g-g-g-g-g-get it, get it, get it good
Good morning
Let's talk and do it now
Now ladies and genkleman listen to the great voice
Of the great Marcia Griffiths
You movin' too hot
Wow! Cool down, cool down
Sekkle, sekkle, sekkle
Simmer down, you lickin' too hot, so
Simmer down, you'll soon get dropped, so
Simmer down, can you hear what I say sah?
Simmer down, why won't you, why won't you?
Simmer down
Look how dem did a warn you time and time again
Yuh never did a listen never want comprehend
Sending out di wrong vibes wrong message you a send
Now you gonna end up on di receiving end
Yuh find yuhself on di cross-road and now yuh confuse
Better find some meds or ways yuh need to improve
Calm down yuh temper don't be overproof
Leggo from di bittnerness and change your attitude
Long time people dem used to say
"Wah sweet nanny goat a go run him belly", So
Simmer down, control your temper
Simmer down, know, the battle will be hotter
Simmer down, and you won't get no supper
Simmer down, simmer, simmer, simmer right down
Simmer down, oh, oh-oh
Yah, yah hear me nuh?
Lemme tell yuh sum'n nuh
Long time me tell yuh simmer simmer dung an cut yuh speed
Calm dung jus for a moment tek a breath yuh affi breathe
Ain't tired fi get di best of you mixed up with grief?
Fighting for what you want not what you need
Long time empty barrel a mek di most sound
So many try to follow and dem deh pon di ground
Yuh movin in circles like a merry go 'round
Now you are reaching for a straw wen you find out dat you drown
Whoa
Heh
Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it wow!
Woi
Whoa
Move it, move it, move it, move it, move it
Wah-wah-wah, wow!
Simmer down, simmer, simmer, simmer right down
Simmer down, control your temper
Simmer down, know the battle will be hotter
Simmer down
Heh
Simmer down, simmer, simmer, simmer right down
