Lyrics

Wait, simply state
Climb the face
And the girl will follow you
You are a gem, shining bright
In the night you'll have to run
Run real fast where you can
And maybe you'll be a man
Wait, simply state,
Climb the face
And the girl will follow you

Wait, simply state
Climb the face
And the girl will follow you
Where you go, who you know
All those things I said, no lie
Things look good...
