Easy, time won't keep you waitin' any longer
Than you waited in the past
Cool and breezy, winds are blowin' sweetly
On the edges of the garden at last
Tell me what you want and I'll give you what you need
Tell me what you want and I'll give you what you need
Tell me what you want and I'll give you what you need
Look into my eyes and you'll see me standin' there
Feelin' happiness inside you now
You always knew it was a state of mind
You're just reelin', takin' in the thoughts around you
Every one's got secrets you must find
Tell me what you want and I'll give you what you need
Tell me what you want and I'll give you what you need
Tell me what you want and I'll give you what you need
Look into my eyes and you'll see me standin' there
Oo, it's so easy
Cool and breezy
What a feelin'
It's got me reelin'
Tell me what you want and I'll give you what you need
Tell me what you want and I'll give you what you need
Tell me what you want and I'll give you what you need
Look into my eyes and you'll see me standin' there
