The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Hey, I love the night life Yes I do it's so much fun And before you know it Ah here comes the sun Sweetheart it's been real, but The thrill is gone Silence is like a spirit That picked my house to haunt But I know it's there so I'm nonchalant Now the question is "just what do I want?" And I want you to run away with me and experience something new Anything you've already done just won't do I want you Would a trip to a remoted island ease your mind Oh you look like a solitaire in the sunshine I like her 'cause she's fun And she's fearless She's a friend of mine And I'm not trying to say that you need any help Or you can have anything you want with your bad self I like her 'cause she's smart But she's still sexy She is somethin' else That's why I want you to run away with me and experience something new Anything you've already done just won't do I want you And I want you to genuinely and sincerely want me too You can believe in my baby, don't be cruel I want you Oh one world to find a lady That happens to be three times the lady God is good But he took his time when he designed you baby That's why I want you And Oh I'll even quit my job Lovin' you, I'll make it my job Thank you Lord, thank you Lord This is it My God! Thank you Lord This is it My God! That's why I want you That's why I want you to run away with me and experience something new Anything you've already done just won't do I want you And I want you to genuinely and sincerely want me too You can believe in my baby, don't be cruel I want you
