Come Inside My Kitchen (Tiddas)

Music video available

Come inside into my kitchen

And let you feed your weary mind

You can settle and I will listen

To the problems that you find

In this world in which we live

I’ve got time to give

I’ve got time to give

Nah-nah-nah-nay, nup-du-dum x2

Face looks tired, your body’s shaking

With all the thinking that you do

There’s a mountain of pain on your shoulders

It’s too much to bear alone

Feel the pain and all the suffering

Carry the load

For what?

For nothing

Nah-nah-nah-nay, nup-du-dum x2

Get outta your head

And into this world

Can’t solve the problems, no – no!

At least not on your own

Not on your own

Woah x4

Woah - Come inside into my kitchen

Woah - Rest your feet, your weary mind

Woah - You can settle & I will listen

Woah - To the problems that you find

Nah-nah-nah-nay, nup-du-dum x2

To the problems that you find

Nah-nah-nah-nay, nup-du-dum x2
