The Lads - The Temptations lyrics

(V1)

Standing in line at Burger King

My hunger's growing and my stomach's rumbling

The queue's as long as you can see

This big guy pushes in

Then turns and laughs at me

My temperature rises as I clench my fist

I can feel my knickers as they're starting to twist

My brain is scheming revenge somehow

Should I smash his head in now

(CH)

I'm not gonna throw it all away to please today

Cos I've seen your schemes before

But I choose to walk along the pathway that I know

Will lead me to my goal

(V3)

It's getting late the party's through

We've had a good time now

It's time to say too-roo

My best friend's left to catch some zzz's

His girlfriend stayed and now she's

Making eyes at me

I suddenly realise that we're all alone

My mind is saying that I should go home

She slides in closer on the big settee

Is this really where I want to be

(BRIDGE)

(It's just passing like the wind)

You say to me, I live for the moment

You say take all you can today

I don't want to live just for the moment

There is a better way

And every day we see this generation

Throw their lives away

It's like we bow down to temptation

And let it have its way

Where are our dreams and where is God

Can anybody see

I'm not ashamed to say

I chase the plans He has for me
