I'm undercover! Can't remember my name It's a motherfunker...But I love this place Warm up and take another shot Not too hot or that game is gonna stop Watch out she says she wanna talk About what? Better listen to what she's says I'm...trying to find some peace of mind my baby I...need a slow unwind, please take me Well you do you And I'll do me Another favour I give you all of my love But maybe not enough to save the day Ahhaaaahh yeah yeah She bought a big mercedes Come on now mama don't be so cold Woah woah woahhhh A bumper stumper (hey hey) She's a bumper stumper hey hey yeah She's just a bumper stumper She's a bumper stumper Watch out that woman don't play And I love to love her Even when she makes it rain She's a bumper stumper And you better sit down for what she say She's a bumper stumper Gonna riddle it out another day I...never had another lover quite this way Broke me down and take away all the change If you leave me baby I'll never be the same But if your bread ain't buttered then you better get going on your way Let me say it so you understand it plain I love the pleasure baby and I love the pain ooh hoo She's a bumper stumper baby She's livin it up Livin it up Livin it up like it's never gonna stop oh no Eeeeeheee ooohhee If I never get a chance to love you once again I love the pleasure baby and I love the pain She's a bumper stumper baby Won't get another chance Don't let her get away She's a bumper stumper baby Would you look at that You let her get away Oh baby Oh baby

I had the same dream again but some of it was new Was such a strange thing she said – now what should I do? Oh baby are you ready yet (or) should I go find something new? And I wonder if we never met…would I still like the things I do? Show me that you care a little more Tell me that we’ve got some more in store I never wanted anything but you Not until today On any other night I doubt I’d feel this way Hey now baby are you ready set Some good things come when you least expect it So put on that little black dress And hold your head up higher than the rest Until you get whatever comes next A good friend said that the best is yet…to come Cause I know you still love me, Even though you make me feel so blue She’s half crazy she don’t ever even really wanna talk about it So taboo (She's) Like, “Baby can’t you leave ‘Us’ out (of) it’ oh yeah It’s just my luck I lost my funk No matter what I say She says we’re done And I moved out of my old spot The light is on And I’m just out here waiting x 2 Come on now wait a minute Hold me like you never have before for a minute

Light it up –If you wanna get away Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone Light it up –It’s time for you to move along I wanna ride on home I’m gonna leave this mess alone Grab my bone, roll my stones And kick em on down the road fo sho I’m gonna write your wrongs And set em aflame so you will know when the lights go down Won’t be nothing but some sweat here on my brow wow wow Light it up –If you wanna get away Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone Light it up –It’s time for you to move along How many times have I heard your lies Hot and heavy she be yakkin at me all dang night How would it feel if it was I Talkin’ business at your party baby every time And you gon’ have to sit right there and hear this And I’m sorry if it doesn’t really sit quite right I’m on a roll I’m feeling fearless Oh honey that ain’t nothin but your foolish pride Light it up –If you wanna get away Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone Light it up –It’s time for you to move along Bridge Where do we go from here? Where does it take us in the end Where do we go from here baby…There’s no point to pretend… Karma gonna get you in the end This ride'll dump you off right where it began What will you do when you can't no more? Close the door, On the floor, Cryin' I'm so poor Thinkin' 'bout the good times that we had Wasn't too bad I guess we had a little love goin' on But those day are gone, I'm moving on to better thangs Out the haze of a love gone wrong Light it up –If you wanna get away Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone Light it up –It’s time for you to move along Light it up –If you wanna get away Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone Light it up –It’s time for you to move along Well now how does it really sound when your man ain't around and it's 12 o'clock? The clock tick tocks, the faucet drops So lonely at the bottom, when you're used to bein' on the top Penny or a pound just to hear your thoughts Oh will you wallow in the bottle Or sober back up. Can't stop to talk, I’m pushing off the dock I’m hopped up Because I finally went and shot my shot! I'm sorry you're gone But maybe I'm not On second thought it's a lot to keep you propped up. I'm walking off into the sun Wearing number one seeing what I've become (SCAT OUT)

Thirst Trap 04:32
Please baby please Don’t go oh no How I need A hand To hold I miss the way Of your lovin touch Those times you really let me know I rue the day I Iet you get away Babe I should have told you so Please baby please You’re cold So cold Who’s the one That’s gonna come and save ya Who’s the son of a gun who’s gonna take ya To the candy stand The milk and honey land If It’s real baby, I wanna go! Cuz I’d do anything to see you again Take a 747 or a diesel train I’d Fight a fire, tell a lie Work a dead end job until the day I die She’s cold as a stone on a windswept plain She don’t ever wanna see my damn face again Go on son try your luck But you better find somebody who gives a funk Please baby please Don’t go oh no Please baby please I’m cold so cold Who’s the one That’s gonna come and save ya Who’s the son of a gun who’s gonna take ya To the candy stand The milk and honey land If It’s real baby, I wanna go! The pieces of the puzzle put a tear in my eye Cuz The one who I’ve been missing Doesn’t want me to find Nothing left to say just a long goodbye I tell you that lady Put me out of her mind Now I’m Inside out I’m front to the back I Had a good thing Now I’m out on my ass My friend tried to tell me and I laughed in his face Now I gotta go and ask if I can crash at his place oh no Who’s the one That’s gonna come and save ya Who’s the son of a gun who’s gonna take ya To the candy stand The milk and honey land Is it real Ooh is it real baby? I wanna go!

If Ya Got It 04:40
If you got it flaunt it Don’t hide away Let everybody see How you do everyday You can put it on the pulpit, or Swear it away Climb up on a mountain and wave your flag Why would you care what anybody says? They wouldn’t know a real one if it fell on their head And if you dare what you do, it’s only up to you Who takes what they’re given and howls at the moon Do you know How many times I tried To make it in this world And keep a little pride And if there was just one thing I would say to keep on, keep on going on If you can’t catch a comet Then Just take a plane Either way you do it you’ll be on your way Said The people you could meet The friends you never see I wonder are they out there waiting like me You’re a burning flame so bright in the black Don’t wish away your days, they ain't never coming back. Oh no no no no Come on, let’s go, Your way! On your way! Let’s Go hee hee
