  	Now there's too many  ahead of me

  	They're all the time  gettin' in front of me

  	I thought I could find a clear road ahead

  	But I found  stoplights instead

  

  	I was wrong, baby, I took too long

  	A fellow started to shower

  	You with love and affection

  	Come on, look in my direction
