The Good Life - Billy Eckstine

I cant face all my problems cuz I need a taste of the good life I could sit and tell you lies but I might be straight this one time I only wanna feel you next to me Girl I touch you my heart skips a beat Its never too late to take another day Lets live tonight Buy that Mercedes go crash off the lot We tryna get crazy just catching a buzz I am so reckless you are so fine No more impressions we are undressing Interstate ten down memory lane I feel like I know you, been hoping n praying Im fixing to show you love we gone make it I feel the connection this a blessing Go take a marker and lets save the date No medication love numbing the pain Birthplace of music others are clueless We're gonna do this it must be our fate Too much confusion? Exiting optional No convolution maneuver the obstacles Future of everything all up to us Mission no longer impossible I cant face all my problems cuz I need a taste of the good life I could sit and tell you lies but I might be straight this one time I only wanna feel you next to me Girl I touch you my heart skips a beat Its never too late to take another day Lets live tonight I think I love you but this is realm is limited I think I really forgot what forgiveness is A little bit of pomegranate Burts Bees Wax in my pocket No time to reminiscence when you running out of options One fifty a zip lines crossing don't be a hostage The name of the game is survival be cautious Text me when you get home texting on a flip phone its been known I been finessing things like a Flintstone lets get stoned I need a Chris clone my lips sewn She unbuttoned my trousers and let out a big moan Now its a blessing that I'm healthy Instead of popping pills feeling helpless I dont think you understand the hell I've seen I cant face all my problems cuz I need a taste of the good life I could sit and tell you lies but I might be straight this one time I only wanna feel you next to me Girl I touch you my heart skips a beat Its never too late to take another day Lets live tonight Words like dragon glass we ain't having that Take yo average ass and see ya way out back Sacagawea, this sack of weed will bring closure to your financial needs What is he talking about his words hit me like a needle Up at the ass crack of dawn making beats Flexing my words flying around like an eagle Next thing you hear he a rapper and a singer Bitch please I manifest my destiny Your two tone Lexus don't really impress me Bitch please I manifest my destiny Your two tone Lexus don't really impress me Pass this down to my grandkids an investment I never really had shit but I'll always have this It shows what you can do when you active Stay low key always implement action I was unhealthy a bit now I see I do it for myself with no distractions

Yeah, check me, woo When I look in the mirror I can't believe what I see Tell me, who's that funky dude Staring back at me? Broken, beaten down, can't even get around Without an old man cane, I fall and hit the ground Shivering in the cold, I'm bitter and alone Excuse the bitching I shouldn't complain I should have no feeling 'Cause feeling is pain As everything I need is denied me And everything I want is taken away from me But who do I got to blame? Nobody but me And I don't wanna be an old man anymore It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night It's time I got back to the good life It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track I wanna go back, yeah Screw this crap, I've had it! (I've had it!) I ain't no Mister Cool I'm a pig, I'm a dog So excuse me if I drool I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a scene Just need to admit that I want sugar in my tea (Hear me?) Hear me? I want sugar in my tea And I don't wanna be an old man anymore It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night It's time I got back to the good life It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track I wanna go back, yeah! I wanna go back, I wanna go back And I don't even know how I got off the track It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track I wanna go back, yeah! And I don't wanna be an old man anymore It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night It's time I got back to the good life It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track I wanna go back, I wanna go back

Oh, the good life Full of fun, seems to be the ideal Mmm, the good life Lets you hide all the sadness you feel You won't really fall in love For you can't take the chance So please, be honest With yourself Don't try to fake romance It's the good life To be free, and explore the unknown Like the heartaches When you learn you must face them alone Please remember I still want you And in case, you wonder why Well, just wake up Kiss the good life, goodbye

You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own You knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me" And when I looked the moon had turned to gold Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me" And when I looked the moon had turned to gold Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own

Skylark Have you anything to say to me? Won't you tell me where my love can be? Is there a meadow in the mist Where someone's waiting to be kissed? Skylark Have you seen a valley green with spring? Where my heart can go a journeying Over the shadows and the rain To a blossom covered lane And in your lonely flight Haven't you heard the music of the night? Wonderful music Faint as a will o' the wisp Crazy as a loon Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon Skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there And in your lonely flight Haven't you heard the music in the night? Wonderful music Faint as a will o' the wisp Crazy as a loon Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon Oh, Skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there
