lyrics

I used your word on the group, man laughed

Same one you said in the cab, on the way back

Now it sits on my tongue like a train-card tap

On the 88 bus, I heard it bounce right back

You said "allow it" by the off-licence door

Now I'm saying it too when they ask for more

At the corner shop, Westwood bag on the floor

Your phrase in my mouth, I ain't said that before

I clocked it late on the walk by the canal

Same little phrase, same tone, same style

Got me moving like you, had to smile

Now it follows me round, mile after mile

I caught your word

I caught your word

I caught your word

I caught your word

Now it slips off my lips when I need that term

Same little word, yeah, I caught your word

In the queue at the chicken shop, I said it clear

Lickle thing from you, now it's stuck in here

My bredrin looked round like, "Where you learn that gear?"

From your voice note replayed in my ear

I used to say one thing, now I say it your way

On the 19 to Peckham, on a grey weekday

Same old words, but they don't hit the same

When I hear myself say it, I know your name

I caught your word

I caught your word

I caught your word

I caught your word

Now it slips off my lips when I need that term

Same little word, yeah, I caught your word

Funny how one phrase can move through the room

From your mouth to my line in a week or two

Got me texting your slang with my thumb half-true

Didn't plan it, but I did what you do

I caught your word

I caught your word

I caught your word

I caught your word

Now it slips off my lips when I need that term

Same little word, yeah, I caught your word
