Lyrics

What am I without you
I feel so low I feel so blue
People try to cheer me up but it's no use
I'm only happy when I'm with you

What am I to do
Without you?

What am I in this world
without the smile of my girl
The trees all turn a shade of grey
Another boring, empty day

What am I to do
Without you?

Who am I in this town
without you to wrap my arms around
I'd be lost I'd have no clue
'Cause I'm the puzzle but you're the glue

What am I to do
Without you?

i sit here thinking with nothing to write
i feel so stoned but i'm not high
running in circles in my mind
lock myself in the bathroom and try to hide

asleep all day awake all night
i'm not normal try as i might
my future's having an affair with my past
i'm stuck in the middle of this mess

when i see you...
...it's all right

quick as a turtle fast as a snail
when you're not moving it's hard to derail
afraid of success afraid to fail
spinning my wheels my shirt snagged on a nail

when i see you...

lost myself trying to find
why i am why i cry
i'm exhausted but i'll give one more try
for fear of completely losing my mind

when i see you...

hey there baby why what's your name?
I am a man of international fame
please do not be afraid because I am so safe

so what brings you to this place tonight?
do you hope to get drunk and start a fight?
or are you trying to find mr. right?

such a pretty girl it's a shame
that you're all alone contemplating
let me show you a good time you won't regret

--
you don't know what you do to me
you do me
you've got me so much
under your voodoo
--

take my hand let's spend some time
we can talk over dinner and wine
please don't say no everything will be just fine

you look so sexy in white
damned if I do, damned if I don't tonight
if you are the sugar baby let me be your spice

you don't know...

just sit back and relax while I sing you this lounge song
or maybe you'd like to light up and smoke a bong
just do whatever you like because this is your song

take my hand let's dance for a while
take all the time that you need to make up your mind
when you're in my arms you look so fine

you don't know...

someday I'm gonna get you
another shirt to wear
one that's not so dirty
and in such disrepair

someday I'm gonna get you
another dress to wear
one that makes you feel good
when you let down your hair

but she's running
running
she run so far
she run all day
she don't know where
she just got to get away
cause she's got to get
out of this
mess of her life
eventually

someday I'm gonna get you
some other shoes to wear
ones that make you look tall
when you look in the mirror

but he's running...

someday I'm gonna get you
another head to wear
one with rasta dreadlock
extensions in your hair

everyday i look around
but i can't find what i'm looking for
try so hard, put my nose to the grind
but it doesn't seem to
help me figure out this life and what it means
and i'm busting at the seams because it seems I've
lost my way
and i don't know where to turn

oh I
if I ever stopped to smell the roses I'd
oh I
I'd be surprised at what I'd find I'd be so happy

all the time i run around
but i'm going in circles
sometimes i seem to make up ground
but is it really where i
want to be headed? or am i just following along
in this sing along song life that we all share
and i'm out of tune
but i don't know what to do

oh I...

..if I ever stopped
to smell the roses
I'd be so..
