I've been

Oh, I've been waiting desperately
And my heart is here right next to me
And I'm caught waiting in the rain

Oh, I've been waiting desperately
And my heart is here right next to me
And I'm caught waiting in the rain

And I know and I need you in the storm
And I oh-oh-oh-I-I, oh-oh-oh-I-I-I-I

Hey, hey, you wanna play
But baby I can go and go
And every other day you're running off with so and so
But baby I would throw you if I didn't know you but I'm paying for it

Hey, hey, you wanna play
But baby I can go and go
And every other day you're running off with so and so
But baby I would throw you if I didn't know you but I'm paying for it

Baby I would throw you, if I didn't know you, but I'm paying for it

I hold on and I don't care what you say
But the way it goes it's happening everyday
I can see space on my radio

I hold on and I don't care what you say
'Cos the way it goes it's happening everyday

Hey hey, you wanna play
Well baby I can go and go
And every other day you're running off with so and so
Baby I would throw you, if I didn't know you, but I'm paying for it

    General Comment:It is 'I would blow you if I didn't know you'.
    That's about the only bit that can be made out clearly.
    Beautiful music. Very ethereal.

    Lyric Correction:I've been..

    Oh I've been waiting desperately
    And my heart is here right next to me
    And I'm caught waiting in the rain
    x2

    and I know and I need you in the storm
    and I oh-oh-oh-I-I, oh-oh-oh-I-I-I-I (you can def see her oh-I in the video)

    Hey hey you wanna play
    but baby I can go and go
    And every other day you're running off with so and so
    but baby I would throw you if I didn't know you but I'm paying for it
    x2

    ooh ha huh ha huh ah huh ah huh

    Baby I would throw you, if I didn't know you, but I'm paying for it

    I hold on
    and I don't care what you say
    but the way it goes it's happening everyday
    I can see space on my radio

    I hold on
    and I don't care what you say
    cause the way it goes it's happening everyday

    Everyday x 5
    day
    d-day d-day
    Everyday
    d-day d-day
    Everyday
    d-day d-day

    Hey hey you wanna play
    Well baby I can go and go
    and every other day you're running off with so and so
    baby I'd throw you, if I didn't know you, but I'm paying for it
    x2


    I've seen Grimes live twice and I'm seeing her again in July, and everytime she obviously says "BABY I WOULD THROW YOU" not blowy you, hold you, or employ you (c'mon EMPLOY you that's just fucking stupid). I also have the special edition album with the lyrics inside. So here you go FINAL lyrics. Obviously, I have no way to prove it but you'll just have to trust a stranger; I have finally put an end to this Vanessa lyrics madness!

    General Comment:dude don't even start haha, its not blow.
    i wouldn't post it if it wasn't correct.

    ask Claire yourselves;
    if you saw it live you know its "throw".


    Anyone: go see her and try and chill with her,
    she's one of the most people(let alone musician) i have ever had the pleasure of meeting.


    for your sake Tom, i had to check the youtube to find you video evidence.
    check her out @ Pianos, CMJ. 2:16 mark my friend.


    i can die now right?

    General Comment:hey hey wanna play well baby i can go go
    and every other day you're running off with so-and-so.
    well baby I would throw you if I didn't know you but I'm paying for it.


    it really took me to create and account just for this,
    couldn't believe this stabs at this while saying shit like "i love her lisp"

    fucking anyways

    there you go
