Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
When I'm sampling from your bosom Sometimes I suffer from distractions like Why does God cause things like tornadoes and train wrecks? When I'm swimming in When I'm swimming in your ocean Floating aloft on creams And scented lotions I can get pretty side-tracked I hope you'll understand When I kneel before your bounty Sometimes I wonder if there could be really UFOs that come from other planets And when you let me taste your fingers I take them like fruit and as I linger I Wonder if my seed will find purchase in your soil
