Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I know you say you're ready to change But I need to get it down on paper It's in your face you're ready to blame The first guy in line to catch the train I'll save your seat 'Cause you don't stand for what you preach You're singing with a broken string, tell me what you really mean, Do you know what you want? While beating up on yesterday, I was on my rollerblades Rolling on moving on It's time to take the time to create 'Cause you're running late the doors are closing So tip your hat and you might get back Whatever you need is up ahead This train won't stop for anybody to get off You're singing with a broken string tell me what you really mean Do you know what you want? While beating up on yesterday, I was on my rollerblades Rolling on moving on You're singing with a broken string tell me what you really mean Do you know what you want? Do you know, oh no We got to run with it It will get better And that leaves we're stuck together Make your mind up Know what you need to say before you shout at me So take your seat 'cause standing only wears out feet You're singing with a broken string, tell me what you really mean Do you know what you want? You're beating up on yesterday, I was on my rollerblades Rolling on, moving on You're singing with a broken string, tell me what you really mean Do you know what you want? Beating up on yesterday, I was on my rollerblades Rolling on, moving on Do you know what you want?
