I've got this thing in my heartLanguid mandalla of the ceiling fan
I must give you today
It only lives when you
Give it away
I've got this thing in my heartTrouble with the nations, trouble with relations
I must give you today
It only lives when you
Give it away
But I've got this thing in my heart
I must give you today
It only lives when you
Give it away
4 June 1999
"This is a song that comes partly from New Orleans, partly from... the swamp land of my brain. I don't think you'll have too much trouble telling which is which. It's called When You Give It Away."
