My Greatest Gift lyrics

Hey la, um de hey oh la
Said, hey la, um de hey oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Said hey, oh hey, feelin' good today
One day as I was a havin' myself a party
You know a flyin' saucer landed right by my side
You know a big green man jumped out and boy you know he robbed me
You know he beat me for my bottle before I got high

I hittim' up knowing that I was dead

Since you're gone with your guy
I feel as though I want cry
But a man ant supposed to shed a tear
If only you were here (you've gone away baby), if only you were here (you've gone away baby)

If only if you were here I'd lie for you, darling I'd die for you
Please say you're coming home

Since you've gone away
Been working hard while you're at play
Never thinking that you are untrue

You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago
I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms
No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love
L O V E, L O V E, L O V E was all I saw, it was love, love, love, love
And I used to call you on the telephone

Too many, too many mornings, gotta wake up soon
Too many, too many mornings, whoa Lord gotta wake up soon
Oh and eat my breakfast by the light of the moon

It was late, very late last summer, when I first got my time
Whoa it was late, very very late last summer you know when I, I first got my time
My buddy got one hundred years, thank the Lord I just got ninety-nine

You think you're so smart
Yes, you think you know it all
But the game you're trying to play
Can be played another way
And you see that, you never never had it so good 'till you met me

I brought you to the city
Now you tell me, there's no room for pity
My friends tried to tell me so
I told them they didn't know
That lights have gone to your head

I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you're goin' around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you

It was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance

You've beat me to the girl that I always wanted
You thought you had her brother but you still don't own her because I'm not through
And there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride

I know that it's a fact that you sneak behind my back

There's no need for you to worry about anything
Who can say what the future gonna bring
But if you worry about tomorrow
It will only bring you sorrow

Go out and have a good time
For this world is so fine
Go out and have a good time
This world is so fine
This world is so fine

Hold your head up high
Face the future with a smile
Things'll be better
It just takes a little while

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside me

All you fear, is fear its self
Check our your own back yard before you check out someone else

Railroad track, in my neighbourhood
Ain’t no trains around that part just ain’t no good

Wanna know, what’s going down,
When the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town

Jungle rule, can’t be no fool
