Starin' at the stars out my window I've been dancin' with my thoughts all night Spinnin' all that jazz on my stereo Got those voices in my head, left and right Sippin' on that old champagne Got me drinkin' and drivin' down Memory Lane And I been waitin' and wishin' (wishin') Hopin' and hurtin' (hurtin') I just have to make it stop I'm movin' on (movin' on) 'Cause there's way too many things that been holdin' me back I'm movin' on Don't care what anybody says I won't be turnin' back, yeah Starin' at the screen on my cell phone I've been dealin' with the truth and lies Searchin' where the thrill has gone Got that feelin' comin' up in my eyes Sippin' on your pink champagne Got me drinkin' and drivin' down Lover's End And I been waitin' and wishin' (wishin') Hopin' and hurtin' (hurtin') I just have to make it stop I'm movin' on (movin' on) 'Cause there's way too many things that been holdin' me back I'm movin' on Don't care what anybody says I won't be turnin' back Sometimes I feel like I just can't keep on (I feel like I just can't keep on) Sometimes I wonder if I can go on (I wonder if I can go on) But I know I'll be pickin' up myself when I'm down I'm movin' on (movin' on) 'Cause there's way too many things that been holdin' me back I'm movin' on Don't care what anybody says I won't be turnin' back, no !

You call me up on the phone You been thinkin' of me Said you tired of bein' alone You miss my sexuality I tell you come by later But you don't know when you gon' be free I asked you 'baby, what's the matter' And then you hang up on me I can't stand it When I can tell you want some more I gotta have it So what the hell you waitin' for ? Stop playin' games I don't know what you tryna do If you like playin' games I ain't got that kind of time for you Stop playin' games I'll call you in a day or two If you're still playin' games I guess I'm not the man for you I'm not the man, I'm not the man I'm not the man, I'm not the man for you It's been far too long I've been hurtin' over you I can tell that something's wrong Not everything you say is true That may be fine for other men But I'm not gonna be your fool Don't even try to play again It's gon' be game over for you I can't stand it When I can tell you want some more I gotta have it So what the hell you waitin' for ? Stop playin' games I don't know what you tryna do If you like playin' games I ain't got that kind of time for you Stop playin' games I'll call you in a day or two If you're still playin' games I guess I'm not the man Not the man for you I thought I'd let you know I really loved you so I don't wanna let you go But I don't play no games No games, no games, no games, ha (Stop playin' games) I don't have that You don't have that We don't have that Nobobody has that kinda time Don't have that kinda time

Six o'five, outside the stadium Special delivery for Hoops McCann Brut and charisma Poured from the shadow where he stood Looking good He's a crowd pleasing man One on one he's schoolyard superman Crashing the backboard he's Jungle Jim, again When it's all over We'll make some calls from my car We're a star It's a glamour profession The L.A. concession Local boys will spend a quarter Just to shine the silver bowl Livin' hard will take its toll Illegal fun Under the sun, boys All aboard the Carib Cannibal Off to Barbados just for the ride, yeah Jack with his radar Stalking the dread moray eel At the wheel With his Eurasian bride Out on town, we dress for action (action) Celluloid bikers is Friday's theme I drove the Chrysler Watched from a distance while they danced I'm the one It's a glamour profession The L.A. concession Local boys will spend a quarter Just to shine the silver bowl Livin' hard will take its toll Illegal fun Under the sun, boys (How 'bout we go see some birds in Trinidad ?) Hollywood I know your middle name Who inspires your fabled fools That's my claim to fame Jive Miguel he's in from Bogota Meet me at midnight at Mr. Chow's Szechuan dumplings Now that the deal has been done I'm the one It's a glamour profession The L.A. concession Local boys will spend a quarter Just to shine the silver bowl Livin' hard will take its toll Illegal fun Under the sun, yeah Illegal fun Under the sun, boys That's right

Way back in double-o-eight On the very first day you got out on parole All jacked up, you could not wait 'I got so many new connects, boy I'm on a roll' Tonight you picked me up Rollin' somethin' like a couple hundred G's Top floor, we goin' up, and you're Sittin like a damn ghost, on a mountain of cheese All those years are gone and here you are Burnin' up your life and your cigar Hidin' out your fear and your big scar One day you'll realize Well, you been livin' a lie (Rolexes, Lexus, luxury cards displayed in rolodexes) You been livin' a lie (Rolexes, Lexus, luxury girls displayin' their waxed sexes) You been livin' alone (Rolexes, Lexus, luxury cards displayed in rolodexes) You been livin' a lie (Rolexes, Lexus, luxury cases full of bad excuses) You been livin alone (Rolexes, Lexus, luxury cards displayed in rolodexes) You been livin' a lie, oh lord (Rolexes, Lexus, luxury girls displayin' their waxed sexes) You been livin' alone, livin' alone, livin' alone (Rolexes, Lexus, luxury cards displayed in rolodexes) You been livin' a lie (Rolexes, Lexus, luxury cases full of bad excuses) One day you'll realize Well, you been' livin' alone

Another night and one last dance You never had another chance Somebody paid for all your sins Now don't act a fool Even though we cool I think you know the rule It ain't a thang Just don't explain There's no need to lie I know you understand When your luck won't feel the same I will charge it to the game It ain't a thang Simple and plain There's no need to cry All good things have an end When your life will leave the frame I will charge it to the game Another night and one last walk A 45 shined in the dark Somebody said "We need to talk" I won't act a fool Even though I'm cool I still know the rule It ain't a thang Just don't explain There's no need to lie U know I understand When my luck won't feel the same I will charge it to the game It ain't a thang Simple and plain I won't even die See you down there, my friend When my life will leave the frame I will charge it to the game
