You're welcome, stop on by. You know I'll be there baby. To dry your eyes. Though I get tired, yeah of bein' that second guy. Don't be no fool baby, you 'bout to lose your old standby.
Please stay with me now, don't you let me go. I'll make it somehow, I got to let you know. That I'll make it somehow, some way. . Though I'm waitin' on the day.
You're now aware of your situation. You wasted time with contemplation. Instead of trying to be so cool my friend. Understand this way you'll never win.
Here we are alone in this old smokin' room again. If your highness is your pleasure, it's alright. 'Cause there's an extra added goodness in my heart for you tonight.
Take it from me, I've had the experience. Finding the right love ain't easy to do. I've been looking and looking and searching around since. Nature started teching me just what to do.
CHORUS:. Do ya, do ya have a secret friend. Playin' around, hangin' out again. . Your love has been like a stranger. Your love is hiding behind a closed door.
Say a prayer for me. Let my body sleep tonight. You were there for me, girl. Standing by my side. . Turn the page for me. See you on the other side. Know that there's a place for me, girl.
In a messed up world. Filled with mixed up people. Searching for a happy time. It makes me feel so good. Just to have a situation. Where you love me and I know that I'm....
Sarah, we made a promise. I'm not taking my breath tonight. Lover, you know you got it. . Sarah, heart of a lion. One more minute 'til it breaks apart.
Running to the fight. Stealing in the night. Like a dog to the bite. Everything in sight. . Give me love, you say. There's a price you gotta pay. Momma's life you cannot play.
I'm alright, I want to get some. Through the night, be my lover. I've been waiting all this time. I want to get it, be my lover today, yeah. I want to get it, be my lover today, yeah.
I've seen you happy. I've seen you low. I've watched your prosper. I've watched your grow. But you're so unhappy. And you should know. That you need me now.
Please pardon me, but I'm longing to speak. I hope you don't mind my staring. I don't mind, cause your face looks so kind. Seldom you'll find someone so daring.
I can tell by the look that's in your eyes. And I'm not surprised. You got to move on like the sun got to rise. I'm just holdin' you down. . But the universe is calling you.
If I could only shake the hand of time. Cause time has been good to us. Bringin' us closer together. I know our love is of a special kind. A real everlasting love, that keeps getting better and better.
Once you get started, oh it's hard to stop. You can't stop you just can't stop. When you get down y'all. When you get down ain't no turnin' back no. .
CHORUS:. Music man play your song for me. Music man fill my soul. Music man play a melody. Music man take control. . I listen to you play your heartaches.
Growing old, and living for. the moment you're searching for something.. You cannot find the truth that's inside,. will reveal all that you're living for..
This is beginning, we realize. We're celebrating the modest life. A chance at your wishes, a wish for more. Everyone's waiting at an open door. . A sneaking suspicion is in your eyes.
----1985 Version. . growing old, and living for. the moment, you're. searching for something. cannot find, the truth inside. will leave you all, that you're living for.
