The Temptations - The Lads
(V1) Standing in line at Burger King My hunger's growing and my stomach's rumbling The queue's as long as you can see This big guy pushes in Then turns and laughs at me My temperature rises as I clench my fist I can feel my knickers as they're starting to twist My brain is scheming revenge somehow Should I smash his head in now (CH) I'm not gonna throw it all away to please today Cos I've seen your schemes before But I choose to walk along the pathway that I know Will lead me to my goal (V3) It's getting late the party's through We've had a good time now It's time to say too-roo My best friend's left to catch some zzz's His girlfriend stayed and now she's Making eyes at me I suddenly realise that we're all alone My mind is saying that I should go home She slides in closer on the big settee Is this really where I want to be (BRIDGE) (It's just passing like the wind) You say to me, I live for the moment You say take all you can today I don't want to live just for the moment There is a better way And every day we see this generation Throw their lives away It's like we bow down to temptation And let it have its way Where are our dreams and where is God Can anybody see I'm not ashamed to say I chase the plans He has for me
