On the prowl

Riaan Smit 1988 (Windhoek)



Well I was out on the prowl
looking for a little bit of fun
When I got there you know I found some
And I'm on a roll
 
I’ve been looking for fun in all the wrong places
I get greeted by so many friendly faces
I’m on a roll
 
I got two minds and ones run free
The other one wont let be me alone
 
I gotta go where the good times roll
Some Sweet lovin gonna save my soul
Yeah lets go
 
I’d been down on my luck and in need of a score
I’ve had it all and I just want more
Of your soul
