Don't Force It: Behind the Lyrics

When this song was first released on a little EP to help us make our way on a West Coast tour, it was picked up and reviewed by the local rag as one of Salt Lake City's sexiest songs. It's a blunt song about just listening to your feeling and not overthinking a situation. Don't get wrapped up in how you look all the time. Don't try to force being cool. Don't let the voices of those bullies in Middle School creep back into your head when you hit the dance floor. Just be yourself. Relax. Be honest. Be kind. Don't deny how you feel, and when you feel inspired to take action, don't force it. As they say with a good hand at Poker: let it ride!

DON'T FORCE IT

Don't force it.

Just let it ride.

And when you take it baby,

Mmmm hmmm, take your time.

No need to space it.

Accentuate the positive, let it live.

No, no, don't fake it baby.

You know I like it. Yeah I like it!

Can I double-dip and taste you twice?

No, don't force it.

License my hands.

Won't you let 'em go, let 'em roam?

Let 'em discover you inch by inch

Yeah they want you bad.

No, don't pace it.

We've got nothin' but time.

No, don't divide, don't hide what you want.

What's mine is yours; what's your is mine.

Oh honey, this could take all night.

Don't hide, don't divide what you want.

What's mine is yours; what's yours is mine.

Don't divide, don't hide what you want.

What's mine is yours; what's yours is mine.

Yours is mine. What's yours is mine.
