Honey, I got plans for you & me, 'Cos this could be love Should we ever meet, I don't know you, You don't know me, But I've seen you walking Down this crowded street Maybe once, maybe twice, And I've searched the faces For another sight of you, Just another sight of you baby. Honey, don't make any plans For the rest of your life, 'Cos I've got a life for you Mapped out in my mind, Tell your boss you won't be in, Tell your man you've found another, And tell yourself that I'm the one, That you're ready for love to... To be discovered, To be discovered yeah.

Love don't come easy to me, But lust - lust is a breeze, yes it is, You come to my bed Wearing nothing but a smile baby, You're gettin' into my head, When I thought I was just Along for the ride Just along for the ride baby. Beautiful crazy, Beautiful crazy. Beautiful crazy, Crazy woman, Beautiful crazy, Crazy woman. Life don't come easy to me, But time - time is such a tease, yes it is, You put on my clothes, Leaving me with nothing but a smile baby, You're getting under my skin, When I swore I would never let you Cramp my style, Never let you cramp my style baby. Beautiful crazy, Beautiful crazy. Beautiful crazy, Crazy woman, Beautiful crazy, Crazy woman. Love leaves me with Nothing but a smile baby, And life leaves me with Nothing but a smile. Beautiful crazy, Beautiful crazy. Beautiful crazy, Crazy woman, Beautiful crazy, Crazy woman.

Doctor, don't take away my pain, I found a girl who's gonna nurse me, But I need to show the strain. Take my pulse, Measure my pressure, But don't take my nurse away. She's my heartbeat, My air, she's my blood, She's my sugar, My pill, she's my drug. Doctor, don't make me take no pills, This girl she's gonna heal me, But I need to have the chills. Take my pulse, Measure my pressure, But don't take my nurse away. She's my heartbeat, My air, she's my blood, She's my sugar, My pill, she's my drug.

I'm walkin' the dog, But it ain't mine, I'm washin' my car honey, But I don't drive, I got a bee in my bonnet baby - I guess the hive don't jive, I gotta lead this horse to water, But I don't ride. You know that love is blind, You know I wanna blindfold you babe, You know that love is blind, You know I wanna blindfold you baby. But if that ain't groovin' with you baby, That's alright, But if that ain't flyin' with you babe, Bye bye. But if that ain't groovin' with you baby, That's alright, But if that ain't flyin' with you babe, Bye bye. I found God last night, Goin' through my things, I prayed for him to go, But I just don't have the faith in him, I run with the hare, And I hunt with the hounds, I wanna play the field baby, But I'm just playin' the clown, But I'm just playin' the clown. You only want me for my head, You know I wanna give it baby, You only want me for my head, You know I wanna give it baby. But if that ain't groovin' with you baby, That's alright, But if that ain't flyin' with you babe, Bye bye. But if that ain't groovin' with you baby, That's alright, But if that ain't flyin' with you babe, Bye bye. Money talks - Mine only whispers, B.S. walks - Mine wears slippers, I like a story baby, That keeps the truth at bay, But like a cow I only lie, When I feel it's gonna rain. Groovin' with you babe, Flyin' with you babe. Groovin' with you babe, Flyin' with you babe. But if that ain't groovin' with you baby, That's alright, But if that ain't flyin' with you babe, Bye bye. But if that ain't groovin' with you baby, That's alright, But if that ain't flyin' with you babe, Bye bye. That's alright, That's alright.

When you lay me in the ground, Know that I've been waiting To see my Mama smile again, When you lay me in the ground, Know that I've been longing To fall into her arms again. When I leave this world I leave these words to you, And if my time is short And you're not yet a man, I know someday you'll understand, yeah. Don't wait for life to write your part, Live this day like it's your last. The days roll by and so the years While we're busy making plans, Friends are made and friends are gathered, Hearts are won and love is lost - So life goes. Don't wait for life to write your part, Live this day like it's your last. When it's your time to take the stage, You'll take my song And shape the words in your own way, When you walk this world Hold this much as true, And if your time is short And you're not long a man, I know each day Is in good hands, yeah. Don't wait for life to write your part, Live this day like it's your last. Sure as the sun the autumn comes, And winter waits impatiently, We watch the leaves fall, one by one, Some sooner, some later - They all fall. Don't wait for life to write your part, Live this day like it's your last.

I got a lover and she loves to please, She's all woman and she knows my needs, I know she wants me but she's such a tease, She's makes me crawl and she makes me plead, but.. She wakes me with a kiss, She bites, bites my lip. I, I gotta woman, I got life, I, I gotta woman, I got life. She's undercover and she takes her time, She's gonna try to make me go blind, She's gonna try to get me over the line, She pops the cork and she pours the wine, then.. She wakes me with a kiss, She bites, bites my lip. I, I gotta woman, I got life, I, I gotta woman, I got life. She pulls her fingers through my hair, She holds me tight and she helps me share, She gives me time to show how I care, She tells me when and she shows me where, well.. She wakes me with a kiss, She bites, bites my lip. I, I gotta woman, I got life, I, I gotta woman, I got life. I, I gotta woman, I got life, I, I gotta woman, I got life.
