Proactive Living Summary • I’m A Player • The Whale
Proactive Living I’m A Player – Babe Gurr It’s hard for me to make a choice, If I listen to all, I can’t hear my voice, Caught in a fool’s reverie, If I’m only a dreamer, let my dreams be, Will I be lucky? Will you ever take my hand….
Proactive Living I’m A Player – Babe Gurr Chorus Don’t hold me back, don’t turn me down, Don’t think that I give up easily, Don’t kill my dream, don’t stop the game, I’m in for all that I have to give, ‘Cause I’m a player.
Proactive Living I’m A Player – Babe Gurr At times, I feel I’m up against the wall, But if you remove it, I just might fall, Chasing that so distant goal, And when I get there, will I trade my soul? Will I be lucky? Will you ever take my hand…
Proactive Living I’m A Player – Babe Gurr Chorus Don’t hold me back, don’t turn me down, Don’t think that I give up easily, Don’t kill my dream, don’t stop the game, I’m in for all that I have…
Proactive Living I’m A Player – Babe Gurr ‘Cause I’m a player, and I won’t be denied, I’m a dreamer, and I hold my dreams tight, I’m a believer, who will be satisfied, I’m on my way, I’m here to stay…..
Proactive Living I’m A Player – Babe Gurr Chorus Don’t hold me back, don’t turn me down, Don’t think that I give up easily, Don’t kill my dream, don’t stop the game, I’m in for all that I have to give… (repeat chorus) I’m a player.
