People all over the world are the same everywhere I go I give in to this, I give in to that Every day it bothers me so
Am I in a bad situation People taking me to the exteme Am I being used I just need a clue I don't know which way to go
So I took my problems to a doctor So he could check it out, he don't know Took it to a palm reader so she could Read my hand, she don't know Five minutes later I started to understand I started screaming, shouting, acting mad No one could help me but myself But I gave everything I had
Chorus: It's things I do for you In return do the same for me It's things I do for you In return do the same for me
Always wanting something for nothing Especially what they don't deserve Reaching in my pocket I just got to stop it Even though they got a lot of nerve
Am I in a bad situation People taking me to the extreme They don't use rejection So I need protection To keep my equity
So I took my problems to a doctor So he could check it out, he don't know Took it to a palm reader so she could Read my hand, she don't know Five minutes later I started to understand I started screaming, shouting, acting mad No one could help me but myself But I gave everything I had
Chorus: It's things I do for you In return do the same for me It's things I do for you In return do the same for me
I don't know whats going happen to you baby But I do know that I love ya You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky And I do know that I want ya
Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground
You tease me with your loving to play hard to get Cause you do know that I want ya You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky And I do know that I want ya
Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground
You are the spark that lit the fire inside of me And you know that I love it I need to do just something to get closer to your soul And you do know that I want ya
Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground
In this world there's so much confusion And I've tasted the city life and it's not for me Now I do dream of distant places Where I don't know now, but it's Destiny
If it's the rich life, I don't want it Happiness ain't always material things
I want Destiny It's the place for me Give me the simple life I'm getting away from here Let me be free, let me be me
I'm a man that's for all seasons What the city offers me ain't naturally I look to greet the stars But there's no stars to see Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny
If it's the rich life, I don't want it Happiness ain't always material things
I want Destiny It's the place for me Give me the simple life I'm getting away from here Let me be free, let me be me
I'm a man that's for all seasons What the city offers me ain't naturally I look to greet the stars But there's no stars to see Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny
I wanna be far from here Should I up and fly away so fancy free Nobody can change my mind I'm screamming out these words for me While time Destiny, ah destiny, it's calling me Destiny, a place for me Ah, destiny I want destiny It's the place for me.......
I try to do what's right for me But no one sees the way I see And then I try to please them so But how far can this pleasing go
Somethings soon to come over you You just can't please the world and yourself You gotta start doing whats right for you 'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul It's hard to find A person like you You're one of a kind If I were you, I'd change my mind And start living for me in these changing times
Sometimes I cry 'cause I'm confused Is this a fact of being used There is no life for me at all 'Cause I give myself at beck and call
Somethings soon to come over you You just can't please the world and yourself You gotta start doing whats right for you 'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul It's hard to find A person like you You're one of a kind If I were you, I'd change my mind And start living for me in these changing times
The life your leading is so dangerous It's so dangerous, dangerous all The life your leading is so dangerous Doggone dangerous, dangerous, dangerous
Somethings soon to come over you You just can't please the world and yourself You gotta start doing whats right for you 'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul It's hard to find A person like you You're one of a kind People will cry If rain or sun Try to please all And you've pleased none
Jack still cries day and night Jack's not happy with his life He wants to do this He wants to that You want to be kind but ends up flat for love For love
(Chorus:) He tries so hard to give a lot He wants to be what he is not But love's not harsh and love's not bad So what's he doing for love is so sad He wants to be so bad He wants to be so bad All the time getting in Things he can't get out Something deep inside of him Eatin' up the pride of him That makes him buy things for the girls That's what you get for being polite For being polite
Jack still sits all alone He lives the world that is his own He's lost in thought of who to be I wish to god that he would see just love Give him love
(Chorus)
(Jack still) tryin' to make you happy but (Jack still) tryin' to make you happy but (Jack still) tryin'to make you happy but it's love, but it's love (Jack still) tryin' to make you, but don't you know he cries (Jack still) don't you know he's scared (Jack still) it's often for his love It's for his love Don't you know he often cries about you He cries about me He cries about you (you) and me (and me) And every little thing that's in his way He cries about me He cries about you (you) and me (and me) He knows he deserves to cry
I don't know whats going happen to you baby But I do know that I love ya You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky And I do know that I want ya
Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground
You tease me with your loving to play hard to get Cause you do know that I want ya You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky And I do know that I want ya
Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground
You are the spark that lit the fire inside of me And you know that I love it I need to do just something to get closer to your soul And you do know that I want ya
Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground Let's dance, let's shout Shake you body down to the ground
