Five long years
We have been together
Your love and understanding
Has brought us through stormy weather
I must admit girl
I haven`t always been good
But you stuck by me
Just like you said you would

Chorus:
Hey I know, that enough is enough
But you shouldn`t be talking `bout
Givin`it up
Turn it loose
It might be right, it seems
The wrong decision will spoil all our dreams
So if you don`t want to spoil our secret dreams,
Don`t change horses
In the middle of a stream.
Giddy-up, giddy-up
Hi-o Yeah
Giddy-up, giddy-up
Hi-o Silver

I only did the things I thought I had to do
But if I hurt you baby
I`ll make it up to you
I can`t say I haven`t done any wrong
Let him without sin
Cast the first stone

Chorus

Giddy-up, giddy-up
Hi-o Yeah
Giddy-up, giddy-up
Hi-o Silver

Let`s forget about the past
Ride to a brand new day
Jumpin` over stumbling blocks
As they wander in our way
We got to keep goin`
`til we reach our destination
Don`t let nothin`
Hinder your inspiration

Chorus

Don`t change horses
In the middle of a stram baby
Don`t change horses
In the middle of a stream now
It might spoil our secret dream, child
It might spoil our secret dream, baby
Ride, ride, ride, ride
Oh girl, hey hey hey
Ride, ride, ride, ride

I've tried hard to do my best, ooh baby
So I could stand out from the rest, yeah
I can't figure out what you're all about, no
And I'm left standing here in doubt

(Can't you see) I want you
(Can't you see) yeah, yeah, yeah
(You're doing me wrong)
For much too long (for much too long)
Baby, I can't go on, no, this way

Girl, I wish you only knew, ooh baby
What you're putting this man through, yeah
Sometimes I think you're on my side, baby
Well, but you keep changing with the evening tide

(Can't you see) I want you
(Can't you see) yeah, yeah, yeah
(You're doing me wrong)
For much too long (for much too long)
Baby, I can't go on, no, this way

Ooh, there must be something I can do, do
To get this message through to you, you
And you know that I can't give up on you, no
No matter what I try to do

(Can't you see) I want you
(Can't you see) yeah, yeah, yeah
(You're doing me wrong)
For much too long (for much too long)
Baby, I can't go on, no, this way

(Can't you see) I want you
Why you hurt me, baby
(Can't you see)
Why you wanna make me feel so bad, baby
(Can't you see)
Said I want you, ooh, oh yeah
(Can't you see)
Ohh, baby
(Can't you see)
Girl, and I'm trying hard to do my best
(Can't you see)
Girl, I wanna stand out from the rest, baby
(Can't you see)
I said I want you, ooh, oh yeah
(Can't you see)
I'll give you what you want
I'll give you what you need, baby
(Can't you see)
Girl, I've tried hard to do my best
(Can't you see)
Girl, I wanna stand out from the rest
(Can't you see)
Baby, baby, baby, I want you, ooh, oh yeah
(Can't you see)

Went down in the valley,
I jumped back in the alley,
Scaled the highest peak,
I even plugged the biggest leak.

Ain't none quicker than I,
Slicker than Superfly,
I don't even have to try,
I got the chop!

I got the chop!
I can't be stopped,
I'll never get popped,
I got the chop, hey now!

I possess the keenest mind,
perhaps of all mankind,
My cranium do contain
Undoubtedly the greatest brain

My (sight?) is not the type,
Baby get sucked up all night,
I maintain outta sight
I got the chop!

I got the chop!
I've been through a lot,
Give it all I've got,
I've got the chop!

If somehow you still have doubt as to what I'm talkin' 'bout,
Your insight�s extra dumb if you can't tell where I'm comin' from,
'Cause if I ain't got the chop, if I ain't got the chop;

Moby Dick was a minnow,
Dumbo was a drunk,
Popeye was a pussy,
And Pinocchio was a punk!

No! That's a buncha bunk!

SAX SOLO

I will fulfill your every need,
Satisfaction guaranteed,
Double your money back,
Your gonna swear I got the true knack.

Ain't no haughty boast,
It's a fact that I'm the most,
Just the most from coast to coast
I got the chop!

I got the chop!
I hit the spots,
Call all the shots,
I got the chop!

Oh, girl, I am the cream of the crop,
See, I'm the most from coast to coast,
I won't get popped, I can't get stopped,
I've been through a lot,
Give it all I got,
I got the chop!
Oh-oh, girl,
Oh, now,
Satisfaction guaranteed�
