Gold

Ooh yeah, I hope you like smooth jazz
Give it to me slow like I deserve it
You can see me sweating like I've been working
Gimme all the gold and more, enough's enough
Beaten dog, found poor
Needs a crutch, ground floor
Needs a key to face the boss, or I'ma take the loss
And get stoned just to talk to my conscience
You never know what you got till you lost it
Living alone ain't what caused all my problems
Well I'm [?] cause and
I'm lost and I'm positive
On something wobbling, ooh, when you gonna settle down?
You think you're being slick
You're the same old ship
Gonna sink in your [?] (boo!)
Gimme this, gimme that
I won't quit till I get what I'm asking for
Just a little bit of happiness, and lord knows I could use some gold (they said be patient)
Gimme this, gimme that
I won't quit till I get (well I'm just, well I'm just)
What I'm asking for (?)
Just a little bit of happiness
And lord knows I could use some gold, I could use some gold
Sick of living off of loose change, I'm a grown man (get your shit together)
Drinking, driving in the wrong lanes
With both hands out the window like I'll live forever
I'm pacing back and forth
Waiting for the next wave to ride it home
Hopefully I'll go with my pockets full
It's not likely though (I might need a miracle)
Gimme this, gimme that
I won't quit till I get what I'm asking for
Just a little bit of happiness
And lord knows I could use some gold (they said be patient)
Gimme this, gimme that
I won't quit till I get (well I'm just, well I'm just)
What I'm asking for (?)
Just a little bit of happiness
And lord knows I could use some gold, I could use some gold
(They said be patient
But I'm just sitting here waiting)
Just a little bit of happiness
And lord knows I could use some gold, I could use some gold
(They said be patient
But I'm just sitting here wasting)
Just a little bit of happiness
And lord knows I could use some gold, I could use some gold
Gimme all the gold and more
Both hands out the window like I'll live forever (ooh!)
Go, go gimme all the gold and more
They said, they said, they said be patient
Gimme all the gold and more
Both hands out the window like I'll live forever
Go, go gimme all the gold and more (well, I'm patient)
They said, they said, they said be patient
Well, I'm just sitting here wasting
They said, they said, they said be patient
Well, I'm just sitting here wasting
Gimme this, gimme that
I won't quit till I get what I'm asking for
Just a little bit of happiness
And lord knows I could use some gold
Gimme this, gimme that
I won't quit till I get what I'm asking for
Just a little bit of happiness
And lord knows I could use some gold, I could use some gold (they said be patient)
Gimme this, gimme that
I won't quit till I get what I'm asking for (well, I'm just sitting here waiting)
Just a little bit of happiness
And lord knows I could use some gold, I could use some gold (they said be patient)
Gimme this, gimme that
I won't quit till I get what I'm asking for (well, I'm just sitting here wasting)
Just a little bit of happiness
And lord knows I could use some gold, I could use some gold
