I’ve Got the Music in Me Lyrics The Kiki Dee Band Ain't got no trouble in my life No foolish dream to make me cry I'm never frightened or worried I know I'll always get by I heat up (Heat up) I cool down (Cool down) When something gets in my way I go round it Don't let life get me down Gonna take it the way that I found it [Chorus x 2] I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me They say that life is a circle But that ain't the way that I found it Gonna move in a straight line Keeping my feet firmly on the ground I heat up I cool down I got words in my head so I say them Don't let life get me down Catch a hold of my blues, gonna play them [Chorus x 2] Feel funky Feel good Gonna tell ya I'm in the neighborhood Gonna fly like a bird on the wing Hold on to your hat, honey Sing, sing, sing, sing Heat up, cool down I got words in my head so I say them Don't let life get me down (Don't let it get you down) Catch a hold of my blues, gonna play them [Chorus x2] Ain't got no trouble in my life No foolish dream to make me cry I'm never frightened, I'm never worried I know, I know I'll always get by (Extended Chorus) Produced By Gus Dudgeon Written By Bias Boshell Release Date July 26, 1974
