Wind it up and let it go When it gets to the other side, oh no Now wait a minute can't you see I'm lost I try to get it but I may be too far gone I think about it baby then I'm wrong I try to beat it but I'm no good on my own You say you don't see what you know about me I got a penchant for the revelry Now I been the best that I can be But there ain't no good plans for me
