Shove Me In The Shallow Water Before I Get Too Deep

Shove Me In The Shallow Water Before I Get Too Deep
I repeat, again and again.. as many people have told me to shut up many times which I
attribute to their inability (or lack of desire) to understand depth of meaning of most things.
The surface, the shallow appearance and illusion catches the eye and that is where
their belief lies. Discuss causes, effects, connectedness, relations and relationships, processes or
complexities--essentially understanding why and how instead of just what (the end result of
what you see now) and I have gone way, way too deep.

What I Am Lyrics - Brickell Edie And New Bohemians:

What I Am Lyrics
I'm not aware of too many things,
I know what I know, if you know what I mean.

I'm not aware of too many things,
I know what I know, if you know what I mean.

Philosophy...
Is a talk on a cereal box.
Religion...
Is the smile on a doll.

I'm not aware of too many things,
I know what I know, if you know what I mean.
D-do ya?

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.

What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what?
What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or... ?

Oh I'm not aware of too many things,
I know what I know if you know what I mean.

Philosophy...
Is a walk on the slippery rocks.
Religion...
Is a light in a fog.

I'm not aware of too many things,
I know what I know, if you know what I mean.
D-do ya?

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.
Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.

What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what?
What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what?
What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what you aren't?
What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what?

Ha-la-la-la
I say, I say, I say
I do, babe.

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.
Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.

Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep.
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep.
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too...
Deep.

Don't let me get too deep.
Don't let me get too deep.
Don't let me get too deep.
Don't let me get too deep.

What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what?
What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what?
What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what you aren't?
What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what?

Oh what you are.
Oh what you are.
Oh Oh Oh
Said what I am
Is what I am...
