Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
There's someone out there waiting for me High, mini, fat, skinny, just wait and see Don't call me lonely if you are too In a big city, take pity, won't make the news I'm advancing, nothing to lose Go-getter, do better, the right attitude Do as I say, not as I do Got no money, nobody, to tell you the truth When I wake up in the morning I don't really want too much See this song but as a warning 'Cause you're too far away to touch Eyes on the hourglass As we sink into the sand Time's up, there's nothing we can do about it It's fine, love, 'cause I know I'mma live without it Eyes on the hourglass As we sink into the sand Time's up, there's nothing we can do about it It's fine, love, 'cause I know I'mma live without it So come on, surprise me, I don't care who Your step missing, time's ticking, ain't got a clue Something I said, the way that I move Strong passion, hot passion, too much for you Don't complicate this, simple to me I've got it, you want it, but it might not come free The sun falls slowly, shadows of love Get together, now or never, can't wait till dawn When I wake up in the morning I don't really want too much See this song but as a warning 'Cause you're too far away to touch Eyes on the hourglass As we sink into the sand Time's up, there's nothing we can do about it It's fine, love, 'cause I know I'mma live without it Eyes on the hourglass As we sink into the sand Time's up, there's nothing we can do about it It's fine, love, 'cause I know I'mma live without it
