Lyrics

Not What I Ain't

I can only give you what I have to give
I don't have everything that you want
Say you'll love me if I change the way I live
Your waitin by the phone for my response

There's lovers and theres slaves
Sometimes I don't behave

You want everything
Or nothing at all
Somethin' made you shiver
You know I can deliver
I don't come with your choice of paint
Baby Love me for what I am
Not what I AIN'T

Between us there is something magical
We're stoking the flame you can't deny
Then as soon as I'm gone those wheels start turnin'
All the good lovin' gets brushed aside
Your eyes light up when I look at you
Those second thoughts just melt away
What can I do to keep the fire burnin'
What can I do to keep love in play


We're meant to be a pair
Super sport extrordinaire

You want everything
Or nothing at all
Somethin' made you shiver
You know I can deliver
I don't come with your choice of paint
Baby Love me for what I am
Not what I AIN'T

I know the love I feel for you is no mirage
Just keep those second thoughts locked up in the garage
