Wasted Away

Four Cups of coffee, 2 packs of cigarettes
I been sitting in this damn booth, Tryin’ to forget.
Thinking of the memories, the good and the bad
Trying to figure out how I lost the strength that I once had
I have Wasted away, like a rock falling into the sea.
Wasted Away, emotionally blindfolded I can’t see
Wasted away, like a flame turning back into a spark
Wasted Away, my sun has set and I just can’t see
At the bar: 6 shots of tequila, four bottles of beer,
Haven’t figured out a damn thing, still sittin’ here
Sittin’ here just a cryin’ with my head in my hands,
My mind a void and my heart a barren wasteland

If You Please

I got the moves that’ll move ya ,bring you down to your knees.
I got the touch that’ll shake ya, Until you’re beggin me please.
I don’t need no teacher to teach me, I’m every bit of a man
And if you’re wonderin’ who’ll satisfy ya, you best believe that I can.
I’m the man you want and I’m the man you need
Oh, don’t leave me guessin’
Make up your Mind- If You Please.
I am a man who can take his time, know how to love you right
I’m not into quick romance, I need more than one night.
I don’t need no beauty queen, just any pretty girl won’t do.
I need a woman who knows what she needs, and baby I want you.
Chorus
I’m no fool, you’re not shy, waving and winking as you walkin’ right by
I’m no fool, you’re not naïve, make up your mind…If You Please

Convicted

Some people go to work, just to sit and bitch all day.
Some play a little hooky, still never get to play
but me I’m not that way, I ‘ve help from above.
I’ve been convicted, of a thing called love.
I been convicted, I’ve been convicted of Love.
Some people hit the bottle, drown themselves in despair
Some walk that cold line, with a white and empty stare
Some people give love, just so they can take.
Go to bed with a stranger, regret it when they wake.
