Let's Have a Ball

Ry Cooder

I wanna ball like I never did ball before [Before, before, before] 
I wanna ball like I never did ball before [Before, before, before] 
I may never get a break like this in life no more 
Well, I wanna ball like I never did ball before [Before, before, before] 
I wanna ball like I never did ball before [Before, before, before] 
I may never get a break like this in life no more 

Got money in my pocket 
I ain't begging for bread 
Cadillac El Dorado 
Well, it's gone to my head 
I got a short time living  and a long greasy time to pay (play) dead 
Ain't doing no favours, ain't asking for none 
Honey, I got money, I can pay for my fun 
That's the way I want it, that's the way it must be done 

I wanna ball like I never did ball before [Before, before, before] 
I wanna ball like I never did ball before [Before, before, before] 
I may never get a break like this in life no more 

A certain little mama [You ???? for me] 
Gonna jump and shout [Oh, yeah] 
When the El Dorado rolls up [ Ah] 
And I'll come walking out [???] 
Gonna tell ya pretty baby [Say you like nothing] 
You don't know what it's all about 
(I've got) No special woman [No special woman] 
Want no special friend [No special friend] 
Want a good time today [Good time today] 
Tomorrow may be down again [May be down again] 
Don't dial my number [Oh, Lord] 
I'll tell you when [I'll tell you when] 

I wanna ball like I never did ball before [Before, before, before] 
Really wanna...never did ball before [Before, before, before] 
I may never get a break like this in life no more
