You should never take more than you can lend
Unless you wanna break you're gonna have to bend
Keep your mind at ease, your heart close at hand
The more you realize and the more you seem to understand

Ooh, will there be love to be made
Ooh, isn't it left anyway

I thought you was dyin' to love me, not to love on a shelf
Before you hurt somebody else you've got to help yourself
Ooh, are you ready today, you'd better be, 'cos there's hell to pay

[Chorus:]
All the lightning and thunder - out of hand
Ready or not, now tell me what's your plan
It gets to be all you can stand - rubberband
You got the [feels like] like a rubberband

I thought what was easy, well it turned into hell
Before I please somebody else I've got to please myself
I said ooh, is this a game that you play, it might as well be anyway

[Chorus]

[Solo]

All the lightning and thunder - out of hand
Ready or not, now tell me what's your plan
It gets to be all you can stand - rubberband
Just lay back just like a rubberband

Ready or not - what's your plan
Tell me what is your interest, show me where you stand
You're my release, your heart close at hand - rubberband
Bounce back just like a rubberband man

Rubberband, rubberband, rubberband, rubberband, rubberband
You got to bounce back, snap back, to the mouth if you can
Like a rubberband man
