You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad

it's not my fault
if in God's plan
he made the devil so much stronger than a man

We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend

If only they'd look closer
Would they see a poor boy? No, siree
They'd find out
There's so much more to me

i don't know when
i don't know how
but i know something's starting right now
watch and you'll see
someday i'll be
part of your world

The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!
So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
