The Temptations Lyrics - The Lads

(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
