Give me twenty-five dollars
And drive me around downtown
Solve all my problems
Don't let me lose what I've found
Give me good lovin'
And seal it with a kiss
Then drop me off where the music's loud
But it won't get no better than this

Take me to a party
Where I'm the only man
With fifty women waitin' on me
Who say they understand
Feed me milk and honey
Give me a story that I'll never miss
Let me get one good night's sleep
But it won't get no better than this

Give me clear vision

And don't let me miss anything
I'll take the bird that whistles
And the world on a string
Fill my fist full of money
In these troubled times
And let me share the water
With all, all of mankind

Give me back my youth
And don't let me waste it this time
Stand me up at the golden gates
At the front of the line
Let me lie in the sunshine
Covered in the morning mist
Then show me something I ain't never seen
But it won't get no better than this
