The Temptations - The Lads

Standing in line at Burger King

My hungerў‚¬"ўs growing and my stomachў‚¬"ўs rumbling

The queueў‚¬"ўs 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 theyў‚¬"ўre starting to twist

My brain is scheming revenge somehow

Should I smash his head in now

(CH)

Iў‚¬"ўm not gonna throw it all away to please today

Cos Iў‚¬"ўve seen your schemes before

But I choose to walk along the pathway that I know

Will lead me to my goal

Itў‚¬"ўs getting late the partyў‚¬"ўs through

Weў‚¬"ўve had a good time now

Itў‚¬"ўs time to say too-roo

My best friendў‚¬"ўs left to catch some zzzў‚¬"ўs

His girlfriend stayed and now sheў‚¬"ўs

Making eyes at me

I suddenly realise that weў‚¬"ўre 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)

(Itў‚¬"ўs just passing like the wind)

You say to me, I live for the moment

You say take all you can today

I donў‚¬"ўt want to live just for the moment

There is a better way

And every day we see this generation

Throw their lives away

Itў‚¬"ўs like we bow down to temptation

And let it have its way

Where are our dreams and where is God

Can anybody see

Iў‚¬"ўm not ashamed to say

I chase the plans He has for me
