Diamonds and Pearls - Live at Glam Slam, Minneapolis, MN, 1/11/1992

Said I'm willing and I'm able

I'm ready to place my cards on the table

I've been holding back this feeling

For far too long

Now that I'm willing, it's effect

Is truly mighty strong

Like a child lost in the wilderness

'Til I reach my destination, I won't rest

'Cause I'm willing (willing)

And I'm able (able)

I'm ready to place my cards on the table (table)

There's some kings in my deck and a queen or two

So you know there ain't nothing

Nothing that I wouldn't do (nothing that I wouldn't do)

(Ah) It was a long time coming

But now that It's here (ah)

All the non-believers better fear me

'Cause I'm willing (willing and able)

And I'm able (truly, truly)

I'm ready to place my cards on the table (table)

Holding back this feeling too long

(Holding back this feeling for far too long)

Now that I got this feeling (this feeling)

It's truly mighty strong (truly, I, I)

I'm willing (willing)

And able (able)

My vision is all clear, I'm feeling kinda stable

You know I am, you know I am

Ready to whisper (whisper, now what you say?)

Ready to shout (shout, now what you say?)

Ready to scream (scream, now what you say?)

What you say, what you say?

I'm willing (willing) and I'm able (able)

I wanna dance and sing, somebody watch me do my thing

Willing, able

Willing and able, oooh

Willing (aw) able

Willing and able, oooh

Sing it to me now (I'm alive)

Sing it to me now (I'm alive)

Sing it to me now (I'm alive)

Yeah! C'mon!

Yeah! C'mon!

I said yeah! C'mon!

I said yeah! C'mon!

Let me take a bite

To see if you're ripe

I'm kinda thinkin' about

Taking a hunk-chunk piece of your love tonight

Well hello, MCT on a mellow

Swing low to the tempo as I flow on a roll

Here we go, willing and able to start the show right

With that type of hype

Lay my cards on the table tonight

Don't take me light

My flow hits you just like a lead pipe

While I'm clockin'

You just say 'fess about the boots I'm knocking

It ain't like that

Besides, I keep the jimmy so get off my back

In fact, you lack the knack

Step back before I show you how a fool acts, baby

Yeah
