The Ohio Players Follow

Finishing our last drink
Talking like mature adults
And hormones did their thing

Run my hand under your dress
And gently squeeze your thigh
You're wearing my wedding ring
I don't need an alibi

Now I know that cathode ray
Lies and steals
It pays no attention
To the way that you feel

And I will pray without ceasing
I will play while unleashing
Sanities and the vanities
And the empty keep reaching

Hope to be brutal
As I examine every motive
I will strain my soul
To hear the words of love spoken

Honey, I've got visions of your flesh
And more rolling around my brain
Hear angel voice choruses
Around each and every bend

When I come to you
With my bleeding little heart in my hand
Tough time getting it off my sleeve
But I knew you'd understand

Now I know that asphalt highway
Lies and steals
It pays no attention
To the way that you feel

I am stricken with malaise
I am smitten with the vapors
It defies all known description
Every current nomenclature

Given to excesses
Gross exaggerations
Manifold weaknesses
And diverse temptation

Now I know that James Earl Ray
Lies and steals
It pays no attention
To the way that you feel

Finishing our last drink
Talking like mature adults
