MORNING MUCH BETTER

How many times have I told you, baby
That I'd do anything you say
But listen here daddy, I got feelin's
And you can't do me this way
Ain't said no to your lovin', never did
And never do plan to do
But if you want to keep me happy, babe,
You better hear what I'm sayin' to you

Comin' to nighttime I dig bein' up
Sorta floatin' around on a cloud
Watching the people walk past my window
And playin' my music out loud
Comin' to noon I can't think about nothin'
With the daylight blazin' through
And the afternoon is no 'ccount time
'Cause I got my business to do
I could probably function
For a little conjunction
But I usually like it in the morning much better, yeah

Most people think that the midnight trip
Is the proper kind of a scene
But I come on feelin' very foggy
And I never can cut it too clean
Most people think they're at the top of the form
After stayin' up half of the night
But I know after a good night's sleep
I can get it on all right
I ain't never resisted
When you have insisted
But I usually like it in the morning much better, yeah

Early in the morning with the sun just up
And the air so fresh and sweet
People just gettin' their boots pulled on
And stragglin' out to the street
Takin' it very easy a while
Before they start in to cuttin' their wood
I don't know just what it is, baby
But that's when I feel good
With seven behind me
You better come find me
'Cause I usually like it in the morning much better, yeah

BRIEF REPLIES - TEN WHEEL DRIVE



This one, too.

I'M A RIDA - 50 CENT



50 Cent sampled some TWD tune - can't remember which, 'cause I hate what he did with it - for "I'm A Rida" which he used on the soundtrack of his video game Bulletproof.

That one we got paid for. Sort of.
