Albert Hammond, Jr. - Threat of Joy lyrics

[Intro] Okay, I see how it is now You don't have time to play with me anymore That's how it goes, I guess f** the rest Be right there, honey! [Verse 1] I'm gonna take my time to say Take my time today I'm gonna take what comes my way Take what they give me Yeah, I want my money now But he is not around You better hold my money safe What's your emergency? [Chorus] And for the first time in my life I'm gonna get myself right Just get into trouble Be there on the double [Verse 2] Place your bets this time Just has to let it ride I tr- I tried to take a roll But the dice are on parole I won't look down your dress I bet you bend down as a test I cannot wait to chase it all Yeah, I saw it in my crystal ball [Bridge] Friday night is shining like A secret for a spy I got a better idea I'll bet you on the side When I get up in your face You know it's no surprise Ah baby, why's it so hard to read the sentence in my eyes? [Chorus 2] And for the first time Chains on your legs I spent a while Then decided on you My baby doll You ignored your life We'll do it together I'll be there whenever [Verse 3] Oh, you took a minute break And said, "thumbs up, they're okay." I'm going to watch the tidal wave It's hard to chase away [Outro] Ohhohhh Ohhohhh Ohhohhh Ohhohhh (Got to chase away) (Hard to chase away) (It's hard to chase away)
