Not open for further replies.
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh, it's you"
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew
That you like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape
 
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
So when I hear about
The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes

We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious
We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how
The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes
We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by
How clever we are
Why should one baby
Feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
What will I think of me
The day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes
 
You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know
You don't know
 
I'm feeling like I'm famous, the talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad
But they don't know what I know
Cause when the sun goes down, someone's talking back
Yeah, they're talking back, oh
At night, when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
 
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday Mr. President
Happy birthday to you
Thanks, Mr. President
For all the things you've done
The battles that you've won
The way you deal with U.S. Steel
And our problems by the ton
We thank you so much
Everybody, happy birthday
Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States!
Thank you!
I can now retire from politics after having had the birthday sang to me
In such a sweet way

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me too
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need, and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead?
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can
 
You say you'll take what you can get from me so
Take all my dark and dirty and this pretty body
Breathe me in, I'll get you high enough then
Breathe me out and leave me
You only want to want me

If you only knew, if you only knew
My bitter thoughts, my rotten heart
If you only knew, if you only knew
I should have come with a

I should have come with a warning
I should have come with a warning
Full disclosure, don't get closer
I should have come with a warning
 
Baby, lock the door and turn the lights down low
And put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby, we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand
 
… Uh-huh
… I don't f- with you
You little stupid a- (woah) I ain't f- with you
You little, you little dumb a- (woah) I ain't f- with you

Then you post it up, thinking that its making me sick
Brr, brr, I see you calling I be making it quick
I'ma answer that sh- like, "I don't f- with you"
… B- I got no feelings to go
I swear I had it up to here, got no ceilings to go
I mean for real, f- how you feel
F- your two cents if it ain't going towards the bill, yeah
… And everyday I wake up celebrating sh-, why?
'Cause I just dodged a bullet from a crazy b-, I
Stuck to my guns, that's what made me rich
That's what put me on, that's what got me here
That's what made me this
… And everything that I do is my first name (B-I-G)
These h- chase bread, aw damn, she got a bird brain
Ain't nothin' but trill in me, aw man, silly me
I just bought a crib three stories that b- a trilogy
… And you know I'm rolling w- that's f- up the ozone
I got a b- that text me she ain't got no clothes on
And then another one text, then your a- next
And I'm gonna text your a- back like

Look, I don't give a f- about you or anything that you do
Don't give a f- about you or anything that you do
… Got a million things on my mind
Executive deals online, limited amount of time
Chasing these dollar signs and you ain't on your grind
You liable to find me up in the MGM casino in the D
F- off fetti I could've put on property
… From the Bay to the Murder Mitten
My n- put m- missions
She choose him that's her decision
Free my n- in prison
On the phone with a b- who can't do sh-
For a pimp but make a n- hella rich (hella rich)
… Got a blunt in my dental, goin' H.A.M in a rental
On my way, to Sacramento, late night, Arsenio
I'm never sentimental, go hard or go home, listen
Barely Harley, I'm chromeless
You might end up domeless
… I bet you shes into me, her cheddar shes giving me
I make a b- stand out forever like the Statue of Liberty
Rest in pimp, Pimp C, Underground King of the South
I raise my Styrofoam up, and pour some drank in my mouth
… Why you always coming around with bad news? (Bad news)
Say you want me to win, but hope I lose (hope I lose)
Asking why I rock with other n- in the crew
But them n- cool, it's just that
… B-, I don't f- with you (lil bia-)
You little stupid a- (woah) I ain't f- with you (uh-uh)

Look, I don't give a f- about you or anything that you do
Don't give a f- about you or anything that you do
… I got a new chick that I gotta thank God for
I got a new whip that I gotta thank a lot for
Yeah, I got a lot but want a lot more
Yeah we in the building but I'm tryna take it to the top floor
I swear I hear some new bullsh- every day I'm wakin' up
It seems like nowadays everybody breakin' up
That sh- can break you down if you lose a good girl
I guess you need a bad b- to come around and make it up
… I guess drama makes for the best content
Everything got a bad side, even a conscience
Now you're drinkin' 'til your unconscious (woah)
Feel me when you get a fine b-
Don't forget to read the fine print
Life got me meditating like I'm in the Himalayas
Keep it G with the L lit on me like the elevator
Yeah, I know that karma's too real so I hope you doing cool
… But still stupid a- b- I ain't f- with you
Little stupid a- b- I ain't f- with
I ain't f-, I ain't, I ain't f- with you
I ain't f- with you
(Straight up)
 
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine
Think it's time we got this straight
There is no way you could mistake
Him for your man, are you insane?
You see I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
But you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me
 
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
 
Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa

You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
 
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love
I wake-up in the morning, and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said, "Good-bye"
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
(Why do these eyes of mine cry?)
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said, "Good-bye"

Oh Britain come back to me <3
 
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We all got our stories but please, tell me
What there's to complain about
When you're happy like a fool

Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in
 
Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Give in this time and show me some affection
We're goin' for those pleasures in the night
 
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
She calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here"
"Since 1969"

And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here"
"Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man
"We are programmed to receive"
"You can check-out any time you like"
"But you can never leave!"
 
You're just like me, far from normal
Too impulsive, anti-social
We bring out the baddest parts of us

We could drive on straight to Tuscon
I'm the Bonnie, you're the Clyde love
And everybody else is choking in the dust

They're choking in the dust
Like we were never there
Oh, I hated everyone 'til you I swear
 
Well I'm a-runnin' down the road try'n to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy.....

Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me....

We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it easy..

Well, I'm a runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find.....

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy....

Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.....
 
My beloved darling
Do not take your eyes off
I know I know
What I have in my
heart now The fire of love for you is burning in my heart
You believe
Just you believe me

With you with you I fly away, when You are near I forget everything I live I love and I
know for sure
we together forever

I'm like a bird soaring into the sky
When you have you
I have

I love you
You hear I love
And I give you all my love
No words needed
No extra words needed
When love reigns
in my soul
 
And every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see
You in my dreams
I see your face
It's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
 
All my rowdy friends have settled down
And it seems to be more in the laid-back songs
Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
Everybody just wants to go back home
I myself have seen my wilder days
And I have seen my name at the top of the page
But I need to find a friend just to run around
 
You can be my daddy if you want to
You, you can be my daddy if you want to
You can get it tatted if you want to
You, you can get it tatted if you want to (she ain't tryna hurt nobody)
 
You are not around
My soul has no rest
We are not together
This white light is not nice to me
You're not with me
You don't hear my silent pain
Heart's a stone, can't
Not a day to live without you

Crying bitter tears
Believe it my soul hurts
Time does not heal wounds
I'm crazy about love
And the heart is bleeding
Useless all the seams
Love is not spring rain
It won't work, alas

Don't touch the strings of the heart
You will hear the cry of my soul
My whole life is someone else's role
I burn like fire
It's all about fate
You won't write off
My love is a silent pain

Crying bitter tears
Believe it my soul hurts
Time does not heal wounds
I'm crazy about love
And the heart is bleeding
Useless all the seams
Love is not spring rain
It won't work, alas

Crying bitter tears
Believe it my soul hurts
Time does not heal wounds
I'm crazy about love
And the heart is bleeding
Useless all the seams
Love is not spring rain
It won't work, alas
 
Oh, angel sent from up above
You know you make my world light up
When I was down, when I was hurt
You came to lift me up
Life is a drink, and love's a drug
Oh, now I think I must be miles up
When I was hurt, withered, dried up
You came to rain a flood
 
Whose bed have your boots been under?
And whose heart did you steal I wonder?
This time did it feel like thunder, baby?
Whose bed have your boots been under?
 
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
 
Oh BRITON
Why you do like this to me
Oh BRITON
I thought it was a cool affair
Oh, oh BRITON,
 
Sometimes I feel
Like I wanna leave this place for good
Under the ground
I'll live down there without a sound
And never hear these hissing voices all the same
I'll disappear 'cause living makes me feel ashamed
I must believe
There's more above us and below
I must believe
Stranded with this bitch called hope
It keeps me here
When all I wanna do is go
It keeps me here
When all I wanna do is disappear
If this is it
All we have and ever will
If this is it
Time is running out, I'm standing still
I leave today
'Cause there's nothing left to keep me here
I'll fade away
I'll turn my back and disappear
The city moans
And lunges up right from the ground
The seething earth
It opens up and spits us out
This vicious child
Nature never wanted us
This vicious child
A cancer burning black into its heart
If this is it
All we have and ever will
If this is it
Time is running out, I'm standing still
I leave today
'Cause there's nothing left to keep me here
I'll fade away
I'll turn my back and disappear
Sometimes I feel
Like I wanna leave this place for good
Under the ground
I'll live down there without a sound
And never hear these hissing voices all the same
I'll disappear 'cause living makes me feel ashamed
If this is it
All we have and ever will
If this is it
Time is running out, I'm standing still
I leave today
'Cause there's nothing left to keep me here
I'll fade away
I'll turn my back and disappear
I'll turn my back, I'll disappear
 
Open your eyes, I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open
When it's cold outside

Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame

Always, I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
 
Strolling along country roads with my baby
It starts to rain, it begins to pour
Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin
I feel a shiver run up my spine
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine...

Oh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside....

After a while we run under a tree
I turn to her and she kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies....

Oh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside.
🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
 
… I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
… It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
 
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
 
Who you waitin' for?
Another savior
Always lookin' but you never find, never find
Wakin' up from another night gone
Always lookin' but you never find, never find
Goin' downtown
You know where you goin'
Throw your top down
Like you know where you goin'
Tell me one thing
Do you like where you goin'?
Running all the red lights
And I said, who?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
I'm tellin' the truth now
We're all born naked
And the rest is drag
 
And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know

There's no way I can ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying
I'm staying
And you, and you
You're gonna love me, oh ooh mm mm
You're gonna love me

And I am telling you
I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, there's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind

And time and time, we've had so much to see and
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning and finding that there's nobody there

Darling there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see there's just no way, there's no way

Please don't go away from me
Stay with me stay with me

Stay, stay and hold me
Stay, stay and hold me

Please stay and hold me, Mr. Man,
Try it mister, try it mister
I know, I know, I know you can

Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream and shout like you can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stop all the rivers, push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will

And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I could ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
Oh, I'm not living without you,
Not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me

You're gonna love me, yes you are
Ooh ooh love me, ooh ooh ooh love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me

You're gonna love me
 
Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a neverending story
 
I'm gonna marry the night
I won't give up on my life
I'm a warrior queen
Live passionately tonight
I'm gonna marry the dark
Gonna make love to the stark
I'm a soldier to my own emptiness
I am a winner
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm not gonna cry anymore
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothing on these streets to explore
M-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Oh m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
I'm gonna lace up my boots
Throw on some leather and cruise
Down the street that I love
In my fishnet gloves
I'm a sinner
Then I'll go down to the bar
But I won't cry anymore
I'll hold my whiskey up high
Kiss the bartender twice
I'm a loser
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm not gonna cry anymore
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothing on these streets to explore
M-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Oh m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Nothing's too cool
To take me from you
New York is not
Just a tan that you'll never loose
Love is the new
Denim or black
Skeleton guns
Or wedding bells in the attic
Get Ginger ready
Climb to El Camino front
Won't poke holes in the seats with my heels
'Cause that's where we make love
Come on and run
Turn the car on and run
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna burn a hole in the road
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothin' on these streets to explore
M-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Oh m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Oh m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
I'm gonna marry, marry
I'm gonna marry, marry
Come on, come on
The night, the night, the night, the night
The night, the night, the night, the night
The night, the night, the night
The night, the night, the night
The night, the night
 
When I'm alone
Quando sono sola

Dream on the horizon
Sogno all'orrizonte

And the words are missing
E mancan le parole

Yes, I know there is no light
Si lo so che non c'è luce

In a room when there is no sun
In una stanza quando manca il sole

If you are not there with me, with me
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me

Up the windows
Su le finestre

Show everyone my heart
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore

That you turned on
Che hai acceso

Close inside me
Chiundi dentro me

The light you met on the street
La luce che hai incontrato per strada

Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye

Countries that I never
Paesi che non ho mai

Saw and shared with you
Veduto e vissuto con te

Now yes I will live them with you I will leave
Adesso si li vivro con te partirò

On ships over seas
Su navi per mari

That I know it
Che io lo so

No no they do not exist anymore
No no non esistono piu

It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye

when you are distant
Quando sei lontana

Dream on the horizon
Sogno all'orizzonte

And the words are missing
E mancan le parole

And I know you are with me, with me
E io si lo so che sei con me, con me

You my moon you are here with me
Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me

My sun you are here with me, with me
Mio sole tu sei qui con me, con me

With me, with me
Con me, con me

Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye

Countries that I never
Paesi che non ho mai

Saw and shared with you
Veduto e vissuto con te

Now yes I will live them
Adesso si li vivrò

I'll leave with you
Con te partiro

On ships over seas
Su navi per mari

That I know it
Che io lo so

No no they do not exist anymore
No no non esistono piu

With you I will relive them
Con te io li rivivrò

I will leave with you
Con te partirò

On ships over seas
Su navi per mari

That I know it
Che io lo so

No no they do not exist anymore
No no non esistono piu

With you I will relive them
Con te io li rivivrò

I will leave with you
Con te partirò

Lo with you
 
Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey
Skippin' and a-jumpin'
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping and you
My brown-eyed girl
And you, my brown-eyed girl
And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding 'hind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Just like that
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da, la-tee-da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
 
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?
And it's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
Breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breath before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?
La la la la la la la la
There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight
 
Yo, I’ll Tell You What I Want, What I Really Really Want.
So, Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want.
I’ll Tell You What I Want, What I Really Really Want.
So, Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want.
I Wanna—, I Wanna—, I Wanna—, I Wanna—, I Wanna Really, Really, Really Wanna Zigazig, Ah.

If You Want My Future Forget My Past.
If You Wanna Get With Me Better Make It Fast.
Now Don’t Go Wasting My Precious Time.
Get Your Act Together, We Could Be Just Fine.

I’ll Tell You What I Want, What I Really Really Want.
So, Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want.
I Wanna—, I Wanna—, I Wanna—, I Wanna—, I Wanna Really, Really, Really Wanna Zigazig, Ah.
 
Right, right, turn off the lights
We gonna lose our minds tonight
What's the dealio?
I love when it's all too much
5 AM turn the radio up
Where's the rock and roll?
Party crasher
Panty snatcher
Call me up if you a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs
We will never be never be, anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Slam slam, oh hot damn
What part of party don't you understand
Wish you'd just freak out (freak out already)
Can't stop, comin' in hot

It's so on right now (so fuckin' on right now)
Party crasher
Panty snatcher

Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass (for me)
Just come on and come on and raise your glass (for me)
 
Hope when you take that jump
You don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out
It's screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
You give it all you have
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes you'll say
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
Oh, oh
I wish that I could witness
All your joy
And all your pain
But until my moment comes, I'll say
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
(With every broken bone)
I swear I lived
(With every broken bone)
I swear I
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah with every broken bone
I swear I lived
Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I swear I lived
Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
 
You're giving me a million reasons to let you go
You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Giving me a million reasons
About a million reasons
If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
If you could find a dry way, I'd forever be still
But you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Giving me a million reasons
About a million reasons
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But, baby, I just need one good one to stay
Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It's like that I've stopped breathing, but completely aware
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Giving me a million reasons
About a million reasons
And if you say something that you might even mean
It's hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Giving me a million reasons
About a million reasons
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But, baby, I just need one good one to stay
Oh, baby, I'm bleeding, bleeding, ey...
Can't you give me what I'm needing, needing?
Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith
But, baby, I just need one good one
Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one
When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But, baby, I just need one good one, good one
Tell me that you'll be the good one, good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay
 
It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby
My mama told me when I was young, "We are all born superstars"
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on in the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are", she said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up, girl, and you'll go far"
Listen to me when I say
I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way (born this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way (born this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Right track, baby, I was born this way
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be (don't be, don't be)
Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure, I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin, believe capital H-I-M (hey, hey, hey)
I love my life, I love this record, and
Mi amore vole fe, yah (same DNA)
I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way (born this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're Black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're Orient'
Whether life's disabilities left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause, baby, you were born this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi', lesbian, transgender life
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born to survive
No matter Black, white or beige, chola, or Orient' made
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born to be brave
I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes

Baby, I was born this way (born this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way

I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey
Same DNA, but born this way
Same DNA, but born this way
 
And, I had it all I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say sabotage
I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha
 
Nobody told me it feels so good
Nobody said you would be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You're the light
You're the light
When I close my eyes
I'm colourblind
You make me colourblind
 
Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun, ain't got no end, oh-oh
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain

You're gone and I gotta stay high all the time
To keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
High all the time to keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
 
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
 
The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
Is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
I don't need my name in the marquee lights
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love
 
It must be your skin, I'm sinkin' in
It must be for real, 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind, it's not my kind
It's not my time, to wonder why
Everything gone white, everything's grey
Now you're here, now you're away
I don't want this, remember that
I'll never forget, where you're at
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine, glycerine
I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time
Are you at one, or do you lie
We live in a wheel, where everyone steals
But when we rise, it's like strawberry fields
If I treated you bad, you'd bruise my face
Couldn't love you more, you've got a beautiful taste
Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn't change though I wanted to
Should have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine, glycerine
Don't let the days go by, glycerine
Don't let the days go by
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Glycerine, glycerine
Oh, glycerine, glycerine
Bad moon whine again
Bad moon whine again
As she falls around me
I needed you more, we wanted us less
Could not kiss, just regress
It might just be clear, simple, and plain
Well that's just fine, that's just one of my names
Don't let the days go by
Could've been easier on you you you
Glycerine, glycerine
Glycerine, glycerine
 
So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
 
You know I'm just a flight away
If you want it, you can take a private plane
A kilómetros estamos conectando
Y me prendes aunque no me estés tocando
You know I got a lot to say
All these voices in the background of my brain
Y me dicen todo lo que estás pensando
Me imagino lo que ya estás maquinando
 
If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star

I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are

So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
 
Whop bop b-luma b-lop bam bom
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
A wop bop b-luma b-lop bam bom
 
Children, behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew? And so we're
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
 
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
 
Its just one of those days
Where you don't want to wake up
Everything is fucked
Everybody sucks
You don't really know why
But you want to justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact
Your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away motherfucker
It's just one of those days
It's all about the he-says, she-says bullshit
I think you better quit, let the **** slip
Or you'll be leaving with a fat lip
It's all about the he-says, she-says bullshit
I think you better quit, talking that ****
Its just one of those days
Feeling like a freight train
First one to complain
Leaves with a bloodstain
Damn right I'm a maniac
You better watch your back
Cause I'm fucking up your program
And then your stuck up
You just lucked up
Next in line to get fucked up
Your best bet is to stay away motherfucker
It's just one of those days
It's all about the he-says, she-says bullshit
I think you better quit, let the **** slip
Or you'll be leaving with a fat lip
It's all about the he-says, she-says bullshit
I think you better quit, talking that ****
Punk, so come and get it
I feel like ****
My suggestion, is to keep your distance
Cause right now I'm dangerous
We've all felt like ****
And been treated like ****
All those motherfuckers
That want to step up
I hope you know, I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps going this way, I just might
Break something tonight
I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps going this way, I just might
Break something tonight
I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps going this way, I just might
Break your fucking face tonight
Give me something to break
Just give me something to break
How bout yer fucking face
I hope you know, I pack a chainsaw
What!
A chainsaw
What!
A motherfucking chainsaw
What!
So come and get it
It's all about the he-says, she-says bullshit
I think you better quit, let the **** slip
Or you'll be leaving with a fat lip
It's all about the he-says, she-says bullshit
I think you better quit, talking that ****
Punk, so come and get it
 
Days when
We'd fight, we'd fight 'til I would give in
Yeah, perfect disasters
We were reaching, reaching for the rafters
And on most of the days we were searching for ways
To get up and get out of the town that we were raised, yeah
'Cause we were done
I remember, we were sleeping in cars, we were searching for OZ
We were burning cigars with white plastics tips 'til we saw the sun
And we said crazy things like
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die
Lights down
And we drive and we're drivin' just to get out
Yeah, perfect disasters
Yeah, we were swinging, swinging from the rafters
Hey, we were dancing in cars, we were looking for ours
We were naming the stars after people we knew 'til we had to go
And we were saying things like
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die
Nights when we kept dancing
Changing all our plans and
Making every day a holiday
Feel the years start burning
City lights they're turning
Something 'bout this feels the same
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
You and me were kids
 
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
And build a Lego house
When things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings
There's one thing on my mind, it's all for you
And it's dark in a cold December
But I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And I keep you sheltered from the storm
That's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now, now
I'm gonna paint you by numbers and color you in
If things go right we can frame it
And put you on a wall
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
Now I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking
And it's more than I can take
And it's dark in a cold December
But I've got ya to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya
And I keep you sheltered from the storm
That's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I will love you better now
 
I'm not big on fighting these days, but I don't call the cops
And I'm not big on scrapping lately, when I start, I don't stop
I just need one more person to hate me, talk that talk
One more problem might make me kill them all
I'm a heartbreaker, ass kicker
I'm a hot trigger, nasty words
I got two fingers for ass-kissers
I'm an asshole, dirtbag, no good bastard
Look, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy, so go ahead and get mad
I'll show you how easy I turn a tough guy to a dead man
I ain't your buddy, buddy, haters or obsessed fans
If we were buddies, trust, I crack a Bud just like a red can
Bedpan full of piss and vinegar
Head scan said that I'm not crazy, but I'm similar
Let's dance, lead hands, homie, you get slept fast
Trust me, you're a midget, I'm a monster, every slap I throw's a finisher
I just need one more person to hate me, talk that talk
One more problem might make me kill them all
I'm a heartbreaker, ass kicker
I'm a hot trigger, nasty words
I got two fingers for ass-kissers
I'm an asshole, dirtbag, no good bastard
Turn your ass into a crackhead, you must love getting rocked
Take your door off with the flat-head and take everything that you got, ayy whoa
Don't make me put in my purse, we only Gucci on curbs
You think you bet I'm the worst and your family to church, so baby, don't get on my nerves
Like, I don't know 'bout these hoes, all I know's how we go
We're non-stop, we'll reload if you're talking, I see ghosts
You groupie baby, I'm different, think you know Hell? Well, I'll show you it
I was born in Hell, Devil knows me well, I returned with a list like Moses did
I just need one more person to hate me, talk that talk
One more problem might make me kill them all
I'm a heartbreaker, ass kicker
I'm a hot trigger, nasty words
I got two fingers for ass-kissers
I'm an asshole, dirtbag, no good bastard
I don't call for backup, keep those comments to yourself
Bunch of cop calling pussies, 'fraid to handle **** themselves
We was raised by the wolves, we ain't afraid to bleed and help
Sort the men from the boys, they have-nots from the wealth
With God as my witness, I'll leave you where you stand
If you flex, that's your death, we're doing more than throwing hands
You better give me six feet when I come through, back the **** up
Guaranteed to leave you bleeding if you make me back this truck up
I just need one more person to hate me, talk that talk
One more problem might make me kill them all
I'm a heartbreaker, ass kicker
I'm a hot trigger, nasty words
I got two fingers for ass-kissers
I'm an asshole, dirtbag, no good bastard
 
I'm a coward, I'm a freak
The scum of the Earth
A liar and a cheat
But I could be so much worse
You call me narcissistic
They say I'm the worst
To join this conversation
I could be so much worse
Uh uh
I thank God that I'm not you
Uh uh
I thank God that I'm not you
Uh uh
I thank God that I'm not you
Uh uh
I thank God that I'm not you
I'm such a sinner
Yeah have been since birth
Have an adrenal full of lust
But I could be so much worst
They say I'm hedonistic
Got a bit too extrovert
Described as positively sadistic
But I could be so much worse
Uh uh
I thank God that I'm not you
Uh uh
I thank God that I'm not you
Uh uh
I thank God that I'm not you

I thank God that I'm not you
Uh uh
I thank God that I'm not you
 
I know I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
Now you want me one more time
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I've learned to live half alive
Now you want me one more time
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
 
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
So fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
She's running out the door (run)
She's running out
She run, run, run, run,
Run...
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
 
Psychos in riot gear march through my nightmares
i'm overexcited and underemployed
i'm gonna get even, don't give me no reason
i don't need a reason to be bored
don't make it no big deal,
i just couldn't sit still there wasn't no feeling behind your words
i'm taking my medicine, just wait till it kicks in i don't need a reason, i'm just bored

it's never enough, it's never enough it's just my luck, i could live forever
it's never enough, it's never too much it's never enough, no, never ever...

white noise interrupts, and no reception is good enough
white noise, turn it up, i'm disconnected, i'm out of touch (don't touch me)

now who can i blame for
this time that i've wasted
there's no one around but i'm not alone
just look through the window,
yeah it's looking through ya,
you stand on the edge of a paper cut..
you talk and i listen, but something is missing
there wasn't no meaning behind your words
there's too much distortion, it's making me dizzy
addiction is easy when you're bored

it's never enough, it's never enough
it's never enough, no, it's never ever

i get lost
in my head
in my head
it's always raining
all my friends
want me dead
in my head, turn it up!

white noise interrupts, and no reception is good enough
white noise, turn it up, i'm disconnected, i'm out of touch
 
Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall
Havin' a party up next door but I'm sittin' here all alone
Two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout
All I got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all

Hieroglyphics, let me be Pacific, I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean
Means small craft advisory
So if I capsize in your thighs, high tide, B-5, you sunk my battleship


You and me, baby, ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
 
I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been payin' every day.

When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it, too
But how I cried over losing you
See, I'm down and out
But I ain't about to go living my life without you
Hey, every day I made you cry
I'm paying, girl, till the day I die.

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been payin' every day.

Oh, I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
If I had been a man in reality
You would be here, baby, loving me
Now my nights are long
And I ain't too proud, babe, I just miss you so
Girl, but you're too proud, and you won't give in
But when I think about all I could win
I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been payin' every day.

Oh, please, forgive me, girl, come on (Give me a chance)
Won't you forgive me, girl, hey (Let's have romance)
Ooh, forgive me, girl (Let's start again)
Come on, forgive me, girl
I want you over and over and over and over again.....
🎼
 
I never thought that You would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around
And you knocked me off the ground from the start
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home
How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
The world is coming down on me
And I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you
But I can't make you bleed if I'm alone
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'till you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
You put your arms around me and I'm home
 
ItsMatt said:
You know I'm just a flight away
If you want it, you can take a private plane
A kilómetros estamos conectando
Y me prendes aunque no me estés tocando
You know I got a lot to say
All these voices in the background of my brain
Y me dicen todo lo que estás pensando
Me imagino lo que ya estás maquinando
Click to expand...
Quien lo diría. Que se podía hacer el amor por telepatía! La luna esta llena, mi cama vacía. Lo que yo te haría.

I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
 
Keep me coming, keep me going
Keep me humming, keep me moaning
Don't stop love until the morning
Don't stop screaming, freakin', blowin'
Blow

Can you eat my skittles
It's the sweetest in the middle, yeah
Pink is the flavor, mmh
Solve the riddle, yeah

I'm a lean back
Don't worry it's nothing major
Make sure you clean that
It's the only way to get the
Flavor
Oh, boy

If you're thirsty and in love just hit your boy
I'm your milk man at your door
When you phone me I can see you with your cup
 
Come on, Eileen
Come on, Eileen
Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them?
You've grown (you're grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever
(Come on, Eileen)
Too-ra-loo-ra
Too-ra-loo-rye-ay
And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment
You mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on, Eileen
Come on, Eileen
These people 'round here
Were beaten down, eyes sunk in smoke-dried face
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never)
But not us (not ever)
We are far too young and clever
(Remember)
Too-ra-loo-ra
Too-ra-loo-rye-ay
And you'll hum this tune forever
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
Ah, come on, let's
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on, let's
Ah, come on, Eileen, please
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on, let's
Ah, come on, Eileen, please
Now you're full grown (too-ra)
And now you have shown (too-ra, ta-loo-ra)
Oh, Eileen
Said, come on, Eileen (come on, Eileen) (you've grown)
These things they are real and I know (ta-loo-rye-ay) (so grown)
How you feel (come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-ay)
Now I must say more than ever (too-ra, ta-loo-ra)
Things 'round here have changed
I said, too-ra-loo-ra (come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-ay)
Too-ra-loo-rye-ay (come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-ay)
(Too-ra, ta-loo-ra)
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment
You mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on, Eileen
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment
You mean everything
In that dress
Oh, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on, Eileen
Come on, Eileen
Whoa (what he means)
Whoa
Ah, come on, Eileen
Oh, believe me
If all those endearing young chums
That I gaze on so fondly today
Were to suddenly leave you, oh fly in the night
Just like fairy gifts gone in the sky
 
I hope you see as you look down
All of this love gathered around
I hope you hear what people say
I hope you know the role you play
You were my rock
You were my shield
This space you leave
No-one can fill
You held the room
You cast a spell
You'll always be remembered well
And when my days have come and gone
I hope I leave more right than wrong
I want to feel this love I see
When I am gone I hope there'll be someone to remember me
Though you're not here
Not here with me
A part of you will always be
I'll hear your laughter
I'll see your smile
I'll feel you near, once in a while
And when my days have come gone
I hope I leave more right than wrong
I want to feel this love I see
When I am gone I hope there'll be someone to remmber me
And when the days have come and gone
I hope I'll leave more right than wrong
I want to feel this love I see
When I am gone I hope there'll be some to remember
Someone to remember me
 
There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
There ain't no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
That probably doesn't even show
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
 
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they'd stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waitin' for me to come home (to come home)

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted (wanted)
'Cause he's taken you for granted (granted)
And everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

But you're just a boy
You don't understand
Yeah, you don't understand, oh
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you've taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy
 
Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang bang all over you (I’ll let you have it)
Wait a minute let me take you there (ah)
Wait a minute ’til you (ah, hey!)
Bang bang there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back, back seat of my car (I’ll let you have it)
Wait a minute let me take you there (ah)
Wait a minute ’til you (ah, hey!)
 
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

That magic in your pants, it's making me blush (for sure)
Looking for some trouble tonight (yeah)
Take my hand I'll show you the wild side

We'll keep dancing till we die (till we die)
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

This mess of emotions got his body questioning
Is this feeling alright?
He studying my freckles like the constellations
And he's looking for signs

I know that you're not used to this
Boy will you let me teach you
Your mind is asking for my love
And you just need to hear it
Try not to wander off too much
Don't let your feels control you
Keep you attentive with authentic kisses
Filled with amor

I'll show you
How it's supposed to feel
When we meet
At Orion's Belt
I'll show you
How it's supposed to feel

(Orion’s Belt - Sabrina Claudio)

I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me

I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I'll put on a brand new shirt

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I

I want you to want me

Brother and sister
Together we'll make it through
Some day a spirit will lift you and take you there
I know you've been hurting but I've been there
Waiting to be there for you
And I'll be there just helping you out
Whenever I can

We are a family that should stand together as one
Helping each other instead of just wasting time
Now is the moment to reach out to someone
It's all up to you
When everyone's sharing their hope
Then love will win through

I know 🏄‍♂️

A Summer To Remember Wave GIF by Hallmark Channel

 
He was a-
Ya know it
He was a-
I was walking down the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
She said, I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone
Uh, could you use a little company?
If you pay the right price
Your evening will be nice
And you can go and send me on my way
I said, "You're such a sweet young thing
Why'd you do this to yourself?"
She looked at me and this is what she said
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know
I wish I could
Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
Not even 15 minutes later
I'm still walking down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
He said, "Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice"
I told him, "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"
He said, "There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
Yeah
You know it
He was a-
You know it
He was a-
Well, now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting at my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end
And so I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
He'd taken money from the church
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same
Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know we can't slow down
We can't hold back, though you know, we wish we could
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
 
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
 
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
 
Let me take you to a place nice and quiet
There ain't no one there to interrupt
Ain't gotta rush
I just want to take it nice and slow
(Now, baby, tell me what you wanna do with me)
See I've been waiting for this for so long
We'll be makin' love until the sun comes up, baby
 
Is there any kind of lovin' that'll make this alright?
Is there any kind of world I won't always have to fight?
Sé que todo es temporal en esta vida
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going

En este mundo solo vengo de visita
Not many people know me, but hey it was nice to meet ya'
Quiero vivir en paz, tranquila en las montañas
Fuck all, la champaña y alabanza

Just touch on me (on me) all night (all night)
Feeling like we're healing, yeah
Get a little bit of healing
Little bit of healing, yeah
Hay quienes solo ven lo bello
Y hay quienes solo ven defecto'
Sinceramente yo te lo digo directo
 
The grey ceiling on the earth
Well it's lasted for a while
Take my thoughts for what they're worth
I've been acting like a child
Your opinion, what is that?
It's just a different point of view
Whatever else, what else can I do?
I said I'm sorry, yeah, I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry, but what for?
If I hurt you then I hate myself
I don't want to hate myself,
Don't want to hurt you
Why do you choose your pain if you only knew
How much I love you love you
Well I won't be your winter
And I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
And we can be forgiven
And I will be here
Old picture on the shelf
It's been there for a while
A frozen image of ourselves
We were acting like a child
Innocent and in a trance
A dance that lasted for a while
Read my eyes just like a diary
Oh remember, please remember oh
Well I'm not a beggar, but what's more
If I hurt you then I hate myself
I don't want to hate myself, dont want to hurt you
Why do you choose that pain if only you knew
How much I love you, no
Well I won't be your winter
And I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
We can be forgiven
And I will be here oh
No, I won't be your winter (i won't)
And I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
And we can be forgiven
And I will be here
I won't be your winter (i won't)
And I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
If we can't be forgiven
I won't be here
 
A Russian Song Translateded: 😀

Into my quiet life one day As a white paper sailboat You entered and became clear every day, Joy covered the earth from under my feet You followed me everywhere like a shadow
My heart sang with a string, And my soul burned like a star, And it was not happier to find a Bypass we want drama But life has its own program Here I am not on the way with you with that program.

Don't love, don't suffer, and don't miss me, You don't miss me, Lose my number, and play with the others, And play with the others, Don't love, don't ask, I won't find more strength... I don't have more strength, Run away, fly away, Goodbye , sorry and goodbye…​

I don’t need your explanations or Bypassed love statements, You didn’t send your messages to me, this is not in your power from now on, this is Not love, happiness is not with you, All my love perished in the fire
You rolled out my hopes. I won't be the same. I won't trust you anymore. My wounded heart, The door is closed for you, And you can't get a ticket there

Don't love, don't suffer, and don't miss me, You don't miss me, Lose my number, and play with the others, And play with the others, Don't love, don't ask, I won't find more strength...

I don't have more strength ... Run away, fly away, Goodbye , sorry and goodbye…​
 
All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it 'til the sun goes down and all through the night time
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Leave my sunglasses on while I shed a tear
It's never the right time
Yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong how I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident
Yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
I'm unstoppable today
 
I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it
But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it
But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
I can take so much
'Til I've had enough
'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
 
Oh
I don't hide blurry eyes like you
Like you

I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh no
I don't need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, can't bite the devil on my tongue, you know
I don't need to be loved by you
See his hands on my waist, thought you'd never be replaced, baby
Ooh, you know it's true, yeah
That I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh no
I don't need to be loved by you, yeah
 
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line, it's been you and me
And lovin' a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wonderin' where I am
Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Faithfully
I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Forever yours
Faithfully
 
I don’t remember most of Autumn, because I lost my mind late in the summer and for a long time after that, I wasn’t in my body. I was a lightbulb buzzing somewhere far.
After the doctor told me I was dying, and after the man I married said he didn’t love me anymore, I chased a miracle in California and sixteen weeks later, I got it. The cancer was gone. But when my brain caught up with it all, something broke. I later found out that all the tragedy at once had caused a physical head trauma, and my brain was sending false signals of excruciating pain and panic.
I spent three months propped against the wall. On nights that I could not sleep, I laid in the tub like an insect, staring at my reflection in the shower knob. I vomited until I was hollow. I rolled up under my robe on the tile. The bathroom floor became my place to hide, where I could scream and be ugly; where I could sob and spit and eventually doze off, happy to be asleep, even with my head on the toilet.
I have had cancer three times now, and I have barely passed thirty. There are times when I wonder what I must have done to deserve such a story. I fear sometimes that when I die and meet with God, that He will say I disappointed Him, or offended Him, or failed Him. Maybe He’ll say I just never learned the lesson, or that I wasn’t grateful enough. But one thing I know for sure is this: He can never say that He did not know me.
I am God’s downstairs neighbor, banging on the ceiling with a broomstick. I show up at His door every day. Sometimes with songs, sometimes with curses. Sometimes apologies, gifts, questions, demands. Sometimes I use my key under the mat to let myself in. Other times, I sulk outside until He opens the door to me Himself.
I have called Him a cheat and a liar, and I meant it. I have told Him I wanted to die, and I meant it. Tears have become the only prayer I know. Prayers roll over my nostrils and drip down my forearms. They fall to the ground as I reach for Him. These are the prayers I repeat night and day; sunrise, sunset.
Call me bitter if you want to—that’s fair. Count me among the angry, the cynical, the offended, the hardened. But count me also among the friends of God. For I have seen Him in rare form. I have felt His exhale, laid in His shadow, squinted to read the message He wrote for me in the grout: “I’m sad too.”
If an explanation would help, He would write me one—I know it. But maybe an explanation would only start an argument between us—and I don’t want to argue with God. I want to lay in a hammock with Him and trace the veins in His arms.
I remind myself that I’m praying to the God who let the Israelites stay lost for decades. They begged to arrive in the Promised Land, but instead He let them wander, answering prayers they didn’t pray. For forty years, their shoes didn’t wear out. Fire lit their path each night. Every morning, He sent them mercy-bread from heaven.
I look hard for the answers to the prayers that I didn’t pray. I look for the mercy-bread that He promised to bake fresh for me each morning. The Israelites called it manna, which means “what is it?”
I see mercy in the dusty sunlight that outlines the trees, in my mother’s crooked hands, in the blanket my friend left for me, in the harmony of the wind chimes. It’s not the mercy that I asked for, but it is mercy nonetheless. And I learn a new prayer: thank you. It’s a prayer I don’t mean yet, but will repeat until I do.
Call me cursed, call me lost, call me scorned. But that’s not all. Call me chosen, blessed, sought-after. Call me the one who God whispers his secrets to. I am the one whose belly is filled with loaves of mercy that were hidden for me.
Even on days when I’m not so sick, sometimes I go lay on the mat in the afternoon light to listen for Him. I know it sounds crazy, and I can’t really explain it, but God is in there—even now. I have heard it said that some people can’t see God because they won’t look low enough, and it’s true.
If you can’t see him, look lower. God is on the bathroom floor.
 
Please don't make too much of it baby (baby)
You say the word forevermore
That's not what I'm looking for
All I can commit to is maybe

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do, I'll play loose
Not like we have a date with destiny

It's just (aah) a little crush (crush)
 
Ooh, New York
Ooh, New York
Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge
I'ma make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York
 
My money don't jiggle, jiggle, it folds
I like to see you wiggle, wiggle, for sure
It makes me want to dribble, dribble, you know?
Riding in my Fiat, you really have to see it
Six-feet-two in a compact, no slack
But luckily the seats go back
I got a knack to relax in my mind
Sipping some red, red wine

Shepherd's Bush, my compact push
Notting Hill Gate, my Fiat skate
With a crate of Cabernet, but not today
Because I gotta drive, I wanna stay alive
Not 'cause it's illicit, do I have to get explicit?
As a matter of fact, I sip on the yak
With Big and Reecе, two-hundred diamonds in their piecе
I'm trying to get mine, so I can shine

Jiggle, jiggle, I like to see you wiggle, wiggle
Jiggle, jiggle, I like to see you wiggle, wiggle

My money don't jiggle, jiggle, it folds
I like to see you wiggle, wiggle, for sure
It makes me want to dribble, dribble, you know?
Riding in my Fiat, you really have to see it
Six-feet-two in a compact, no slack
But luckily the seats go back
I got a knack to relax in my mind
Sipping some red, red wine
 
There was a friendly but naive; King,
Who wed a very nasty Queen.
The King was loved but;
The Queen was feared.
