[Intro: a soca drum roll and bright keyboard leads kick straight in] [Verse 1: joyful powerful female lead] Monday hit me with a hundred emails, every one urgent, none of them mine Tuesday was a meeting that could've been a sticky note, it ran an hour over time Wednesday was the landlord, Thursday was the traffic, Friday the printer ate my report I been wound up tight like a cheap little watch, and now my patience running short [Chorus: big belted lead] Doctor say wind down, so I wine down Mama say take it easy, so I take it to the ground Boss say go home and rest, but I'm resting on the beat Wine down, wine down, from my waist down to my feet [Verse 2: lead, bouncing on the groove] Sharon from accounts hand me a candle, lavender and rain Say, "Self-care, babe, take a bubble bath, put cucumbers on your face again" I say thank you, Sharon, put it in my purse, and I head straight for the road I don't need a bubble bath, I need a bass so big it makes the stoplight glow [Chorus: the drums hit harder] Doctor say wind down, so I wine down Mama say take it easy, so I take it to the ground Boss say go home and rest, but I'm resting on the beat Wine down, wine down, from my waist down to my feet [Bridge: the keyboards climb, the snare rolls build] Don't hand me no glass of wine, put the bottle on the shelf Doctor said unwind, so I'm unwinding by myself I was wound so tight on Thursday I was ticking like a clock Now I'm loose as Sunday laundry, and I'm never gonna stop [Faster: the groove pushes harder, everything hotter] Left foot, right foot, waist like a wheel Every knot in my shoulders coming loose on the real Hips going left while the week going right Every unread message getting answered tonight Monday can call me, Monday can wait Monday gonna find me at the bottom of the bass [Final Chorus: biggest belt, the whole band flat out] Doctor say wind down, I wine down Mama say slow down, I slow down at a hundred and sixty Boss say come Monday, I say Monday who? Wine down, wine down, and the whole road wining too [Outro: drum roll, one keyboard stab, out] Wine down [End]
