美國實力歌姬［蘿貝塔．弗萊克］──靈魂流行曲──［Shock to My System／難以應對的事］

A message came across a void

And for the first time in my life

Im awake, Im alive

I thought I was immune to this

Til I felt the static charges in the air

I touch you, youre a live wire

Youre the raw fire burning in my heart

It took me by surprise, thats no lie

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

A spark, a real shock

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

You start, I cant stop

You taught me how to listen, shock to my system

My soul, my skin, you plug me in

And all of my pain is gone just like it never was

For the first time in my life I know what I feel

Now every time we touch Im caught off my guard

Thats no lie

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

A spark, a real shock

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

You start, I cant stop

You taught me how to listen, shock to my system

Shock to my system

Shock to my system

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

A spark, a real shock

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

You start, I cant stop

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

A spark, a real shock

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

You start, I cant stop

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system

A message came across a void

And for the first time in my life

 

１９８８年秋天　５１歲的美國非裔巨星歌姬蘿貝塔．弗萊克（Roberta Flack）發行睽違五年的大碟──也是她六年來首張個人專輯［Oasis／綠洲］（Atlantic唱片）

（１９８５年曾籌備新輯而灌錄數首歌曲, 但因不滿意未出版）

製作群包括Marcus Miller ，Andy Goldmark，Michael Omartian，Jerry Hey，Barry Miles

弗萊克擔任執行製作　獲得不錯評價

 

前兩首單曲未入Billboard單曲榜, 雖在副榜－黑人榜有不錯表現

１９８９年７月, 蘿貝塔推出第三單曲──與英國雙人團Clime Fisher主唱Simon Climie合唱的［Shock to My System／難以應對的事］

此曲由Franne Golde, Andy Goldmark, Dennis Lambert合寫

Andy Goldmark製作成一首靈魂流行曲,　節奏中板

單曲剪輯版（Edit）則混成濃厚的R&B曲風

由於沒有宣傳, ［Shock to My System］並沒打入排行榜。

由於三首主打在流行界表現不佳, 導致大碟［Oasis／綠洲］銷售不盡理想, 只登上Billboard專輯榜, 副榜──黑人專輯榜＃２４
