Hard To Concentrate

Hustle, bustle and so much muscle awww
Cells about to seperate
And i find it hard to concentrate and

Temporary this cash and carry
I'm stepping up to indicate
The time has come to deviate and

All i want is for you to be happy and
Take this moment to make yoiu my family and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found

Death defying this mess i'm buying
It's raining down with love and hate
And i find it hard to motivate and

Estuary is blessed but scary your
Heart's about to palpitate
And i'm not about to hesitate and

One to treasure the rest of your days here and
Give you pleasure in so many ways dear and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found... here we go

Do you want me to show up for duty and
Serve this woman and honor her beauty and
Finally you have found something perfect
Finally you have found... yourself

With me... will you... agree... to take
This man... into your world...
And now... we are as one...

My lone ranger the heart exchanger
Is living in this figure eight
And i'll do my best to recreate and

Sweet precision and soft collision awww
Hearts about to palpitate
And i find it hard to seperate and

All i want is for you to be happy and
Take this woman and make you my family and
Finally you have found someone perfect and
Finally you have found... yourself

Hey

Won't somebody come along
And teach me how to keep it alive
To survive

Come along and show me something
That i never knew in your eyes
Take away the tourniquet

I used to be so full of my confidence
I used to know just what i wanted and just where to go
More than ever i could use a coincidence
But now i walk alone and talk about it, when i know

Hey awe yeah ... how long
I guess i oughta walk away
Hey awe yeah ... so long
Whatcha' gonna do today

I don't want to have to but i will
If thats what i'm supposed to do
We don't wanna set up for the kill
But that's what i'm about to do

Later on i'll cut you off
When you're screaming into the phone
Hard to own

Anyway i want to let you know
That everything is on hold
What you gonna do to me

You used to be so warm and affectionate
All the little things i used to hear my fairy say
But now you're quick to get into your regret
Take a fall and now you got to give it all away

Hey, what would you say if i stay
Stay for a while if i may
Say it again and i'll come around
But not for the last time
Hey, what would you say if i change
Change everything but my name
Play it again and i'll come around, come around
But not for the last time, not for the last time

You used to be so warm and affectionate
I used to know just what i wanted and just where to go
And now you're quick to get into your regret
But now i walk alone and talk about it, when i know

Hold my hand
All the way back
To the brotherland
Take me back
I want to go back

Take me back
And my funky ass band
All the way back

With my funky ass jams
All the way back

Take me back
I want to go back

Hollywood...

Where the women
Is the women
And the man
Is the man

I want to go
As fast as i can
Slidin on back
To the brotherland

Hump De Bump

40 detectives this week
40 detectiver strong
Takin' a stroll down love street
Strollin' is that so wrong
Can i get my co-defendant

Hump de bump doop bodu
Bumb de hump doop bop

Bumb de humb doop bodu
Hump de bump doop bop

Bump bump

Must have been a hundred miles
Any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear
But the way we make out

When i was an all-aloner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm wide awake now

Workin' the beat as we speak
Working the belle du monde
Belive in the havoc we wreak
Belivin', is that so wrong
Can i get ma co-defendant

Hump de bump doop bodu

Must have been a hundred miles
Any of a hundred styles

Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?

Hump de bump doop bodu
Bumb de hump doop bop

Listen to me what i said
Try to get it through your head
A little bit of circumstance
A chance to make out

Livin' in a citadel
It's hard enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll
And i am wide awake now

Must have been a hundred miles
Any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear
But the way we make out

When i was an all-aloner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm wide awake now

I Could Die For You

Something inside the cards i know is right,
Don't wanna live somebody elses life.
This is what i wanna be,
And this is what i give to you,
Because i get it free.
She smiles while i do my time

I could die for you.
Oh, this life i choose.

I'm here to be your only goal between,
To tell you what the sides these eyes have seen.
What i really wanna do, is turn it into motion beauty
That i can abbuse.
You know that i use my senses to.
You can say that it's only everywhere.
I take it all and then i find a way to share.
Come along and go along with me.
Wonder when we own it's all for free.

I could die for you,
What you wanna do.
Oh, this life i choose.
I could die for you,
What you wanna do.
Oh, this life i choose.

Come again, and tell me where you wanna go,
What it mean to me to be with you alone.
Close the door, and no-one has to know how we are.
Come along and go, along with me
Wonder when we own it's all for free.

I could die for you,
What you wanna do.
Oh, this life i choose.
I could die for you,
What you wanna do?
Oh, this life i choose,
Make me wanna say:
I could die for you,
What you wanna do?
Oh, this life i choose.
I could die for you,
What you wanna do?
Oh, this life i choose...........

I Could Have Lied

There must be something
In the way i feel
That she don't want me to feel
The stare she bares cut me
I don't care
You see so what if i bleed

I could never change
Just what i feel
My face will never show
What is not real

A mountain never seems to have
The need to speak
A look that shares so many seek
The sweetest feeling
I got from you
The things i said to you were true

I could never change
Just what i feel
My face will never show
What is not real

I could have lied i'm such a fool
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool
Showed her and i told her how
She struck me but i'm fucked up now

But now she's gone yes she's gone away
A soulful song
That would not stay
You see she hides 'cause she is scared
But i don't care
I won't be spared

I could have lied i'm such a fool
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool
Showed her and i told her how
She struck me but i'm fucked up now

I could have lied i'm such a fool
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool
Showed her and i told her how
She struck me but i'm fucked up now

If You Have To Ask

A wanna be gangster
Thinkin' he's a wise guy
Rob another bank
He's a sock 'em in the eye guy
Tank head
Mr bonnie and clyde guy
Lock him in the eye
He's not my kinda guy
Never wanna be
Confusion proof
Pudding's sweet
But too aloof
Orange eye girl
With blackslide dew said
Yo homie
Who you talkin' to
A backed up paddywagon
Mackin' on a cat's ass
One upper cut
To the cold upper middle class
Born to storm
On boredom's face
And a little lust
To the funky ass flea bass
Most in the race
Just loose their grace
The blackest hole
In all of space
Crooked as a hooker
Now suck my thumb
Anybody wanna come get some

If you have to ask
You'll never know
Funky motherfuckers
Will not be told to go
If you have to ask
You'll never know
Funky motherfuckers
Will not be told to go (Oh woh woh)

Don't ask me why
I'm flying so high
Mr bubble meets superfly
In my third eye
Searching for a soul bride
She's my freakette
Soak it up inside
Deeper than a secret
Much more
Than meets the eye
To the funk
I fall into my new ride
My hand my hand
My hand my hand
Magic on the one
Is a medicine man
Thinkin' of a few
Taboos that i ought to kill
Dancin' on their face
Like a stage on vaudeville
I feel so good
Can't be understood
Booty of a hoodlum
Rockin' my red hood

If you have to ask
You'll never know
Funky motherfuckers
Will not be told to go
If you have to ask
You'll never know
Funky motherfuckers
Will not be told to go (Oh woh woh)

If You Want Me To Stay

If you want me to stay
Ill be around today
To be available for you to see
Im about to go there
Then youll know
For me to stay here
Ive got to be me
Youll never be in doubt
Thats what its all about
You cant take me for granted and smile
Count the days im gone
Forget reachin me by phone
Cause i promise
Ill be gone for a while
And when you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
That you really are now
You got to get it straight
How could i ever be late
When youre my woman
Taking up my time
Oh how could i ever allow
I guess i wonder how
I could get out a pocket for fun
When you know that
Youre never number two
Number ones gonna be number one

Ill be good
I wish i could
Get this message over to you now

When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
That you really are now
Ill be so good
I wish i could
Get this message over to you now

Get this message over to you now
Ill be so good
I wish i could
