Okay...

Oh, I'm sending out invitations

Everything I thought was mine

'Cause if our love is getting stronger

Why drag this thing out much longer

'Cause I'll be ahead

Oh if I could get ahead

And now I'm behind, awooo

You got a way of filling me up

Oh, just to watch me fall down

I'm tired of wastin' my life

The best thing, my life, wastin' my life around

Ohhwoohh

You don't tell me, who to give my body to, oh no

And you, you don't tell me, how to make to love to you,

And you don't tell me...

Oh how to make you feel good

I'll make you feel good all over to your body

Baby, deep and you know it, oh, awooo

And you don't have to tell me baby

Oh baby sometimes, you just might sing your song wrong

Yeah...

Oh I'm like a fish, whoo

Put me on the line

But you gotta way, of reeling me in

But you won't, won't spend the time

I'd write a song, about something real funny

If I thought everyone would laugh, ha

I got a song, he's got a song, a whole lotta money

Sing the song, sing the song, right here, right here

If I though it would bring me some cash, I can feel it, awhoo

I got a song about the trip I went on

Even though I never take an airplane baby

Oh you keep me feeling funny

If you could keep on, keep on working it out

Oh..

I don't feel bad about it...

Oh how I enjoy, joy, joy, feelin' around

Ohh, owwwoo baby yeah

You don't have to tell me baby, what kind of car to drive,

You know sometimes I... I just want to tell you baby

I don't know sometimes if our love is dead or alive

But I said I ...eehhh

You don't have to tell me...yeah

If I thought, my heart, would run

Oh I think I stick around

Oh, don't try to tell me

Who to give my, give my, love to

To give my love to, give my love to

'Cause I'm giving-up on everything

Everything, I thought was mine

Now if your love is gettin' much stronger

If I thought Don Curly would laugh

I got a song, about a whole lotta money

Oh, if I though it would bring me some cash, I need a whole

lotta money

How long have I been trying to cross over?

I'm not gonna be a thing in the past

I'm already over

Whoohhhwaaaa

Let's harmonize off, awhoo

Whooooooo

Life is short that's for sure

Whooooooo

Oh the little things that you do

Let it be lost, let it be lost, let it be lost

Oh, love is gone, yeah, yeah

Everything I thought was mine

But if your love again is longer

Why drag this thing out much longer?

Yeah I'll be ahead

If I could bring what I...

You build me up just to let me down

Let me down

You seem to love seeing me falling down

Well what goes up

All the time, all the time, is gonna come down

Ohh, ohhh ehhhhyeah

Ohh I put a gun on the way I feel

If I thought my heart would run

In a million years

If I can have anymore fun

You gotta go through it

Al-ways

Are we all gonna do it?

It's starting to becoming a scuffle...
