Never Take The Place Of Your Man Sung by The Incredible Lance Diamond As performed by Princeback to top I thought about you just last saturday My voice got cracked I didn't know what to say Down in the shade or maybe in the sun And if you need it I think I got one Where are you And what's on your mind Where are you Am I wasting my time Where are you And what's on you mind? I just want to know if I'm wasting my time I snuck out of work to see her smile I'll hold her hostage for a little while I wrote a letter I thought I'd let you know I'm right behind you any time you go Where are you And what's on your mind Where are you Am I wasting my time Where are you And what's on you mind I just want to know if I'm wasting my time My mind got busy around 3 a.m. or so Crawled in you room through the back window Hoped when you woke up you wouldn't be too mad I hope I never wake up your old man Where are you And what's on your mind Where are you Am I wasting my time Where are you And what's on you mind I just want to know if I'm wasting my timeback to top I'm on a mission baby I'm not hearing what you're saying Stop preaching at me now I'm not a revelation Superstar or new sensation I'm just hiding away my frowns We don't see eye to eye I'm on your side With a smile and a sigh I'm on your side Five a.m. I shut my eyes Then my worries tranquilized Don't think the morning comes too soon If I don't see the morning That's ok they're pretty boring See you tomorrow afternoon We don't see eye to eye I'm on your side With a smile and a sigh I'm on your side You're living in a trailer Friends all think that you're a failure But are you thinking for yourself You read the Sunday paper Wife's pissed off 'cause you ain't laid her Rolling pennies for your wealth Me too. . . We don't see eye to eye I'm on your side With a smile and a sigh I'm on your side I'm on your sideback to top I feel so important today and I wish I didn'tback to top back to top What kind of situation Have I brought upon myself Some kind of bad reaction Blamed it all on someone else Don't pretend like you know my name Cause I ain't never seen you before You got me laughing at me Laughing all about myself I had a drink last Friday Heard the news from someone else Don't pretend like you know my name Cause I ain't never seen you before You got me running Running far from myself You got me coming Coming home to someone else Don't pretend like you know my name Cause I ain't never seen you before Cause I ain't never seen you before Don't pretend like you know my name Cause I ain't never seen you beforeback to top As performed by The Plimsoulsback to top I hung your picture on the wall and that's all it is I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is I know you're living way out west and I don't think that I confessed Everything I feel You say you got no faith in things that you can't see Well I'm sorry I ain't there with you but you ain't here with me And I'm down in all my fears But I ain't crying no tears over you Cause everything's wrong Well it's all right Everything's wrong Well it's all right You said that this is crazy you're a half a world away Well I'm sitting and I'm thinking but I didn't know what to say So I said something I can't touch, I always want way too much Anyway Cause everything's wrong Well it's all right Everything's wrong Well it's all right I hung your picture on the wall but that's all it is I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is I know you're living way out west Don't get me wrong I'm not impressed With you no moreback to top
