(Chorus)
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's find, blowing my hair and tearing my mind
Throwing for grabs and leaving behind
(SOLO over CHORUS chords)

[Bbm]Girl and I hope it comes through for you in a clutch
But I [C#]wouldn't bet much

(CHORUS 2X)
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's news, singing the praise and playing the blues
Pulling the rug out under my shoes

Erica's find, blowing my hair and tearing my mind
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Knocking me down from second to third
