Guarantees Lyrics

So you can say what you want

But don't forget what you need

Cause you're stoopin' real low

And then you end up on your knees, yeah

So say what you need for guarantees

(say what you need)

Say that you love me, just for me

(I love you)

Say what you want but don't hesitate your needs

Cause you never have to stoop down low

They like to play the strings

On the neck of my guitar

Embed a feeling in a song

Slight glance

And catch a whisper

But I'll always try to see

What they need for guarantees

Read in between the lines

8th grade was when my life

First started

Caught a glance of your face

Now we're older; on a date

Your apartment; can't embrace

Paying rent

Too much, ya can't afford

Living check to check

Yeah we're borderline poor

I took the long way out

And now I'm moving out the house

Just me and my guitar

And now we're playing it out

On a stage full of speakers

Dancing with ya sneakers

And a face full of rum

And vodka, is it fun?

To get yourself all wasted

In what you can't afford

Bloody Mary, Shirley Temple

Ain't this place sure sentimental

For every instrumental

And vocals that are gentle

So take the time out

And bring it bottoms up

When you're at a place like this

It sure involves luck

So say what you need for guarantees

(say what you need)

Say that you love me, just for me

(I love you)

Say what you want but don't hesitate your needs

Cause you never have to stoop down low

You got the place

We figure out the time

We move to straight to outer space

Find a planet in a dime

Outside the milky way

Figure out our life while we stay

But for now we're stuck living this way

Pay your taxes and your car

Your mortgage and your bills

We live a life of wants

And things just for the thrill

If your life was free

Would you ever give it up

Just for guarantees

Just for guarantees

So say what you need for guarantees

(say what you need)

Say that you love me, just for me

(I love you)

Say what you want but don't hesitate your needs

Cause you never have to stoop down low
