Sitting here waiting for time

Got so much here on my mind

There’s a woman there she’s dancing on my head

How I wish she could be lying on my bed

I shouldn’t done what I did

I had been a real foolish kid

But the price to pay I know I must

I say be careful of who you choose to trust

 (Solo)

All the dreams I used to share

Day by day in here it disappear

Echoes of warnings and talks permeate my brain

Those who tried to save me from causing me pain

Be careful with whom you stand for you’ll fall alone

All that glitters would lead you far from home

And I know I made my mistakes

And I have to pay for what I didn’t even take

(Solo 2)

Innocently incarcerated by company you keep

Opportunities blown, unfulfilled dreams, very little sleep

No place to go so much to do

A lot of time to ponder on who should be you

I’m sitting here today biting my time

The only thing free here is my mind

Think of all I would do when I re-adjust

To give my life some meaning and there’s only God to trust

(Solo 3)

Well from ever since I could remember

Two things are pen and paper

They're like the mark of me and

Things I keep close at hand

I remember when I was a boyee boy

Playing with the fellas having joy

Girls were like our opponents

There were things I didn't understand yet

But as I grew older as we all do

Of course as per usual I learnt some new, ideas

Philosophies and other things

That's the reason I'm living

When I see people in trouble and it seems they can't get out

I put my pen to paper and write some ways out

When the world has war

When children's hearts are sore

When I get an idea in a flash

A set of words on paper I stash

Cause I always feel I have the perfect song

This is my appreciation for pen and paper too

Think of all it's done for me and you

Well I remember when a girl caught my eye

And I feel she had to be by my side

I would put some lyrics on paper owh sweet words

Feeling that I think she never heard

I'd say I'd just show them to her and she'd jump for joy

And of course after I'd be her only boy

But I never get 'round to giving it

Though the chances came time and again

Hey maybe I shoulda

And now I'd have her

But foolishness and being shy

Really held down progress of this guy

Cause whenever a situation arises

I write down some nice lyrics

These words really help me along

Cause I always feel I have the perfect song

Yes for everything I have the perfect song

  Take good care of yourself
  If you want to be good to anyone else
  You have to be good to yourself
  Before you can please anyone else

So much nonsense to drink and eat
Over-working just to compete
With this everyday strife and strain
It only causes stress when you complain
You just have to take stock of yourself
Bring your mind, spirit and body to health
When you feel well, you'll inspire others
And your body parts will work much better

  Take good care of yourself
  If you want to be good to anyone else
  You have to be good to yourself
  Before you can please anyone else

Things are so hard in this place
For every member of the human race
So much info is streaming to you
Just decipher the right thing to do

   Take good care of yourself
  If you want to be good to anyone else
  You have to be good to yourself
  Before you can please anyone else

All these devices making people sick
To get the latest you are upgrading quick
The price we're paying is much more than money
We're creating a mindless society, so

  Take good care of yourself
  If you want to be good to anyone else
  You have to be good to yourself
  Before you can please anyone else

Here comes another morning
There goes another night
We finished another loving
Oh it always feel so right
There goes another day again
We hear more words from our friends
They don't think we'll last forever and
I'm beginning to believe them
Because
We make love but not with passion
You don't respond to my action
I say I love you every day
When was the last time you said it
We both know we're slowly drifting apart
Cause the fire is outing down that we had start
Oh Oh Oh

MUSIC

Here comes another night
And you tell another lie
But you never tell me you love me anymore
That's what I want to hear
I don't want to lose you can't you see
But I just want to hear you tell mee
I love you
I want to hear it from you
I love you
Baby cause I looooove yooooou
