YOU KNOW WHY I’M HERE (I’m Your Guide)

I am your guide
I am your guide
Your guide
I see guide
I see am your guide You Know why I’m here
Your guide You know why I’m here

I see your face, I am your guide You know why I’m here
Guide You know why I’m here…
I see am your guide
Your guide
I see your face, I am your guide

You don’t mind it, you don’t wind it
You don’t stop ‘cause you’re never gonna find it
You’re all over, you’re in clover
You’re uptown and you’re in a range rover

You don’t wonder, you don’t thunder
You don’t know it’s a living that I’m under
You don’t give up, you don’t tin cup
You don’t rattle with the man who has a chin up

You don’t smoke ‘em, you don’t joke ‘em
You just wait until they blink and then you choke ‘em
You’re out grazing, you’re out dazing
You’re out done because you’re monitor is phasing

You don’t manage, you just damage
And then you wonder why I put you in a bandage
You don’t comfort, you just Humbert
You make a living with some makeup and a short skirt

You don’t mind it, you don’t wind it
You don’t stop ‘cause you’re never gonna find it
You’re all over, you’re in clover
You’re uptown and you’re in a range rover

You know why I’m here too
You know why I’m here
You know why I’m here too
You know why I’m here

I see your face, I am your guide
Am your guide
I am your guide
I am your guide
I am your guide
