Man On A Mission
Peter Cincotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I forgot the end of the world was scheduled for today
Tell 'em you got things to do and one of them is me
Tell 'em that you got the flu, ah tell 'em anything
I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping in your eyes
Oh, I got a very strong suspicion
So tell her it's okay to come on out and play
Look at you crawling back, smiling like a cat
Atta girl you ought to be proud blowing 'em off like that
Forget about what's on your mind, forget about your hair
Put your little hands in mine, ah put 'em anywhere
I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping in your eyes
Oh, I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day that she's ready and she's waiting
So tell her it's okay to come on out and play
And I don't wanna talk today
Let's put the words away
Words don't matter anyway
For what I wanna say
What I wanna say
Put your mind into neutral
Close your eyes and just be Kama Sutra
For where I wanna go
You don't need a map to read
We'll find our way there naturally
And when your body is in motion
We can just sit back and let it lead the way
I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping in your eyes
Oh, I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day that she's ready and she's waiting
So tell her it's okay to come on out and play
I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping in your eyes
Oh, I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day
So tell her it's okay to come on out and play

Words don't matter anyway
The true connection is in our nonverbal communication and presence with each other.
For what I wanna say
The most important things to express cannot be put into words.
Put your mind into neutral
Let go of any distractions or racing thoughts and just be in the present moment with me.
Close your eyes and just be Kama Sutra
Let's move and connect without overthinking or analyzing it, like in the ancient Indian text on sexuality and desire.
For where I wanna go
I have a vision of where I want our connection to lead us.
You don't need a map to read
We don't need a set plan or instructions to get there, we can let our instincts guide us.
We'll find our way there naturally
Our connection will lead us to where we need to be without trying too hard or forcing it.
And when your body is in motion
When we physically connect and move together, our connection will deepen and guide us where we need to go.
We can just sit back and let it lead the way
We don't need to try too hard or control the connection, we can just let it unfold and lead us wherever it may.
