Ready or Not

Ready or not, you best prepare for a lot
Cuz I got a lot to say
It’s finally time to speak my mind
After working hard all day
You may not believe everything that you read
There’s a lot that don’t feel right
But have no fear, you can trust what you hear
From the man who is out of sight
Ready or not, yeah I’m calling the shots
I’m the master and commander on this vessel of sound
“Melody ho!” I shout but I know
That I’m the only one around
You could be like me and explore uncharted seas
That take you far away from home
Or join a ten-man crew that’s going nowhere new
Sometimes it’s best to sail alone
Ready or not, I am cold and I’m hot
I am fire and ice and everything in between
I’m the alpha and omega, I’m the Xbox and the Sega
I’m a sweet and sour solar-powered music machine
There once was a day when to say that you could play
Meant your fingers were where musical magic was made
Definition of musician has changed to repetition of the
Same. Three. Chords. Oh lord now!
Am I the whetstone, or the blade?
Am I the soldier, or the slave?
Am I the cure, or am I the disease?
Am I the storm or the nice warm breeze?
Am I the one champion declared?
Or lights out, face down, gasping for air?
Time is up, that’s all you got!
Here I come, ready or not!

I'll Do It By Myself

Girl you must believe when I say I got a lot to give
If you haven't been with me then you haven't truly lived
But before you fall in love with me, I must state my position:
If you're gonna get with me, then you got to get with my mission
And if you won't do it with me...
Then I'll do it by myself!
I'm an expert marksman and I always aim to please
But the pleasure that I'm talking 'bout it ain't just birds and bees
I'm a hard-working man I get down on my hands and knees
Sometimes I work for money, most things I'll do for free
And if you won't do it with me...
Then I'll do it by myself!
A man's got to prioritize:
Does he want to get it done or does he want to womanize?
If you met yourself, could you look him in the eye?
Or would you have to look away and tell another lie?
If you can't be true to you, then who on earth can you be truthful to?
Got to find a woman who can understand my needs
Gotta have satisfaction yeah I got to spread my seeds
An entire generation's benefiting from my deeds
Sometimes a losing battle, but I never will concede
And if you won't do it with me...
Yeah if you won't do it with me...
Guess I'll just have to...
Do it by myself

Coming Back for You

I strayed from the beaten path
I liked what I found
I never stopped to do the math
I said "I'm Orlando bound"
I packed my bag and I set my course
Before flying south, I drove up north
To meet the people who'd send me forth
Into the world
To find you
Women quickly filled my life
So I could watch them go
I thought each one was on my side
Shows how much I know
I had my fun, I must confess
But now I'm gone, there's emptiness
I need to fill and I'll never rest
Until my world
Includes you
I saw you from across the room
I was just another face
I never thought that one day soon
I would be in your embrace
I don't conceal and I don't pretend
Somehow I became your friend
But I needed to kiss you,
to leave you would end my world
So now I'm coming back for you

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae
By the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
Chorus:
You’ll take the high road, and I'll take the low
And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will ne-er meet again
By the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
‘Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep sides of Ben Lomon'
Where deep in purple hue, the highland hills we view
And the moon comin’ out in the gloamin’.
Chorus
The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping
But the broken heart, it kens nae second spring again
Tho’ the woeful may cease from their greetin'.
Chorus

Wasted

All those years of my life
Thinking you were mine
It's taken quite some time
But now I realize:
Love is not a thing you can own...
All those hours of holding you
I thought I knew you well
I saw the slivers of light
Breaking through your shell
But cracks can only come from within...
All those weeks of hiding
What was deep inside
And following so blindly
The motions of the tide
I saw that I was different
I don't know why I lied
But I don't need you any more
I swear it on my life
Wasted
