Overcome Lyrics
[Verse 1: Martina Topley-Bird]
You sure you want to be with me?
I've nothing to give
Won't lie and say this loving's best

And when there's trust, there'll be treats
When we funk, we'll hear beats

But for now, emotional ties they stay severed
And when there's trust, there'll be treats
When we funk, we'll hear beats

Then it goes, ‘And then you wait / For the next Kuwait’. You could be walking down the street with your girlfriend, and at the same moment Kuw...
