lyrics

THANKS
Ola Onabule © 2001

Your elegant temptations,
Though the better left unknown,
Still wrestle my contention,
I should leave this place alone.

I know, I heard it all before,
And it grows betrayal of the adored,
When it blows, love is blown for sure,
you’re home alone, should’a said:

Thanks very much, got more than enough.
I wouldn’t wanna throw that away.
You got the all, from which any man would love to fall.
But I don’t wanna go it that way.

It all feels so helterskelter,
something deeper can’t endure,
I need the warmth and succour,
of a loving that’s secure.

And I could stray to what you lead me to,
In the wake of passions altered view,
And what was safe and always will be true,
Starts to fade, should’a said:

Thanks very much, got more than enough.
I wouldn’t wanna throw that away.
You got the all, from which any man would love to fall.
But I don’t wanna go it that way.

My honey’s home waiting, she’s anticipating,
expecting, depending on true love
Your honey’s inviting, seducing, enticing but to taste it ...

Oooh I know, I heard it all before,
And it grows betrayal of the adored,
When it blows, love is blown for sure,
you’re home alone, should’a said:

Thanks very much, got more than enough.
I wouldn’t wanna throw that away.
You got the all, from which any man would love to fall.
But I don’t wanna go it that way.
