ADRIANA EVANS: ALL FOR LOVE [14]






Adriana Evans, also known as Adriana Madera, is an American R&B vocalist. She was born 1974 in San Francisco, California and was one of the first Neo soul artists. Her debut album Adriana Evans was released in 1997 and reached the No. 33 position on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

Adriana Evans was immersed in music from a young age, with her mother Mary Stallings singing with jazz artists like Count Basie, and her godfather being jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders.[1] As such, Evans finds a great deal of her musical upbringing in jazz music.

At the age of 18, Adriana moved to Los Angeles where she planned to attend college. While living in the city, she met rapper Dred Scott and the two quickly became friends. As their friendship grew, the two began working together in music. Because of this relationship, Adriana Evans appeared on Dred Scott's "Check the Vibe" in 1993 and Evans relied heavily on Scott for production on her debut album.

Paul Stewart, CEO of PMP records, played a crucial role in helping Adriana Evans get a deal with Capitol Records during the 1990s. Stewart was attracted to Evans after hearing a demo featuring her and having seen her in the video for Scott's "Check the Vibe." As Capitol Records folded, Stewart brought Evans onto his PMP Records where she released her self-titled debut album.

Adriana's self-titled debut album featured two singles, "Love Is All Around" and "Seein Is Believing." The two singles charted, with the former reaching #65 on the R&B charts and the latter reaching #50.

1. I WILL BE THERE


Summer breeze and autumn leaves
Children laugh and play
A mother cries while lovers sigh
And things my often change
I'm just here to let you know
I'll be there

So skies are blue and skies are grey
And heaven touched my hands
So love could fill your empty heart
I hope you understand
I'm just here to let you know
I'll be there

Do you ever wonder what you life has meant
Just look around
And where your happiness is spent

Well skies are blue and skies are grey
And heaven touched my hands
So love could fill your empty heart
I know you'll understand
That I'm just here to let you know
Gotta let my feelings show
I just came to let you know
I'll be there
I'll be there

Hey, glad to see you

3. SEEIN' IS BELIEVING

Chorus:
You know that seein' is believing
Don't say you love me if you're leavin'
You know that seein' is believing
Don't say you love me if you're leavin'
Suddenly you up and take your love away
Like a dream, it happened all in just one day
Could it be that I was running out of time
Is it me, or are you playing with my mind
Don't you know that everything you said
Is messin' with my head
And mama said

{Chorus}

Ooh ooh wee
Time has helped, me open up my eyes to you
Now I see, you're not worth what you put me through
Could it be that you were running out of time
Now I see that you were playing with my mind
Don't you know that nothing that you said
Is messing with my head
And mama said

{Chorus} (2x)

Maybe love, can fix it after all
Rain that falls, will lead to sunny weather
So don't forget when we're apart
I'd like to fly with you to heaven
Flyin' way up high
When we finally get to heaven, you know that
Maybe time, can make things turn out better
Maybe love, can fix it after all
Rain that falls, will lead to sunny weather
So don't forget when we're apart

Ooh heaven
You're not so very far
And when we finally get to heaven
I know that
La la, la la, la la
La la, la la, la la, oh, oh baby

When i dream,
All i see,
Is you and me,
Back when we were free,
Doing ghetto dances,
Taking crazy chances.
Oh baby,
No one else will ever love you more than me.
Open up your heart and let your soul be free.
To love, love, remember love.
Remember remember remember love

Yo, people say,
She's so funny,
Blows me away.
Cause they don't even know me.
Where were they way back when,
you was on the corners rapping.
Oh baby,
know one else will ever love you more than me.
Open up your heart and let your soul be free,
To love. Remember love
Remember remember remember love

8. SOMETHING



Lying in a bed... looking at a hole in the wall yeah
Forgive me if it seems I've been screening my phone calls
But darling I swear I didn't mean to shung you...
I just ran out of nice things to say
About the weather about the news or your new pair of shoes
Living the blues paying dues when it seems like you really didn't have
A clue

Out of nowhere came something (good love)
And the something said it all (good love)
And from nothing I gotta a lot of something
Something happened to me that made it all seem new

Lying through my teeth singing a clean version of a song
See the truth would blow your mind so I'm saying nothing's wrong
Darling I swear I didn't mean to shung you...
But I can only feel sorry for myself today
With all this money in my pocket still not living paid
I was seeing so many trees all around but
I still couldn't find no shade

Out of nowhere came something (good love)
And the something said it all (good love)
And from nothing I gotta a lot of something
Something happened to me that made it all seem new
Seem new
Didn't care about the weather or the news
Or your new pair of shoes
Living the blues paying dues when it seems like I really didn't have
A clue

Out of nowhere came something (good love)
And the something said it all (good love)
And from nothing I gotta a lot of something
And from nothing I gotta a lot of something something
Something going on
I gotta a lot of something
I gotta a lot of something yeah
I gotta a lot of something yeah yeah
I gotta a lot of something uh huh

Lay down tell me what you're going through
Why play this game now
When there's no one in the way now

CHORUS:
Heartbreak and sorrow
We're (or well) within sight (?}
May not have tomorrow
Still have tonight
So just hold me tight
Don't let this moment get away

I'm not finished lovin' you

Hey now
What exactly should we do?
Not run away now
When there's so much left to say now

[Chorus]

(Back up)
Run away now little boy
Run away now little boy

10. BLUE BIRD


Blue Bird
I got a blue bird, a blue bird on my shoulder
I got a blue bird, a blue bird on my shoulder
I saw her standing, standing by the water
She was naked, her hair in great disorder

And I know that I fly and the rest is lie

I sent a warning, a warning of disaster
I sent a warning, I warned of great disaster
I sent that blue bird, a blue bird down the water
I sent that blue bird, floating down the water

And I know that I fly and the rest is lie
Hold me, hold me, hold me close

11. WANDERING HOME




Wandering Home
I Hear You Calling Me
I hear you calling me
You called me when
The moon had veiled her light
Before I went from you
Into the night
I came
Do you remember
Back to you for one last kiss
Beneath the cold starlight

I hear you calling me
And oh the ringing gladness
Of your voice
The one that made my
Loving heart rejoice
You spoke
Do you remember
And my heart still hears
The distant music of your voice

I hear you calling me
Though years have stretched
Their weary lengths between
And on your grave
The mossy grass green
I stand
Do you behold me listening here
Hearing your voice
Through all the years between

12. CAMINO


Children laugh and play
A mother cries while lovers sigh

So, skies are blue and skies are gray
And heaven touched my hands
So, love could fill your empty heart
I hope you understand

I'm just here to let you know
I'll be there

Do you ever wonder what you life has meant?
Just look around
And where your happiness is spent

Well, skies are blue and skies are gray
And heaven touched my hands
So, love could fill your empty heart
I know you'll understand

That I'm just here to let you know
Gotta let my feelings show
I just came to let you know
I'll be there, I'll be there

Children laugh and play
A mother cries while lovers sigh

13. ALL FOR LOVE

(feat. Rod Stewart, and Sting)

When it's love you give
I'll be a man of good faith.
then in love you live.
I'll make a stand. I won't break.
I'll be the rock you can build on,
be there when you're old,
to have and to hold.
When there's love inside
I swear I'll always be strong.
then there's a reason why.
I'll prove to you we belong.
I'll be the wal that protects you
from the wind and the rain,
from the hurt and pain.

Let's make it all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
the one you need,
'cause when it's all for onee it's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
then just let your feelings show
and make it all for one and all for love.

When it's love you make
I'll be the fire in your night.



then it's love you take.
I will defend, I will fight.
I'll be there when you need me.
When honor's at stake,
this vow I will make:

that it's all for one and all for love.
Let the one be the one you want,
the one you need,
'cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
then just let your feelings show
and make it all for one and all for love.

Don't lay our love to rest
'cause we could stand up to you test.
We got everything and more than we had planned,
more than the rivers that run the land.
We've got it all in our hands.

Now it's all for one and all for love.
It's all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
the one you need,
'cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
It's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
then just let your feelings show.
When there's someone that you want,
when there's someone that you need
let's make it all, all for one and all for love.

14. UNDERNEATH THE STARS


Underneath the stars, alight for 13 billion years
The view is beautiful, ours alone tonight
Underneath the stars

Spinning round and round with you
Watching shadows melt the light
Soft shining from our eyes
Into another space is ours alone tonight
Watching shadows melt

And the waves break
And the waves break

Whisper in my ear a wish
We could drift away held tight
Your voice inside my head
The kiss is infinite and ours alone tonight
We could drift away

Flying here like this with you
Underneath the stars alight for 13 billion years
The view is beautiful and ours alone tonight
Underneath the stars

And everything gone and all still to come
As nothing to us together as one
In each others arms, so near and so far
Forever as now underneath the stars

As the waves break

Underneath the stars, alight for 13 billion years
The view is beautiful, ours alone tonight

Shortly afterwards, her 1988 album Watermark propelled her to further international fame and she became known for her unique sound, characterised by voice-layering, folk melodies, synthesised backdrops and ethereal reverberations.

1. I WANT TOMORROW


Dawn breaks; there is blue in the sky.
Your face before me though I don't know why.
Thoughts disappearing like tears from the Moon.
Waiting here, as I sit by the stone,
they came before me, those men from the Sun.
Signs from the heavens say I am the one.

Chorus:
Now you're here, I can see your light,
this light that I must follow.
You, you may take my life away, so far away.
Now I know I must leave your spell
I want tomorrow.

2. HOPE HAS A PLACE


One look at love
and you may see
it weaves a web
over mystery,
all ravelled threads
can rend apart
for hope has a place in the lover's heart.
Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Whispering world,
a sigh of sighs,
the ebb and the flow
of the ocean tides,
one breath, one word
may end or may start
a hope in a place of the lover's heart.
Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Look to love
you may dream,
and if it should leave
then give it wings.
But if such a love
is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free.

Under the heavens
we journey far,
on roads of life
we're the wanderers.
So let love rise,
so let love depart,
let hope have a place in the lover's heart.
Hope has a place in the lover's heart.

Look to love
you may dream,
and if it should leave
then give it wings.
But if such a love
is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free.

Hope is home, and the heart is free.

4. AMID THE FALLING SNOW


How I remember sleepless nights
when we would read by candlelight,
and on the windowpane outside
a new world made of snow;

a million feathers falling down,
a million stars that touch the ground,
so many secrets to be found
amid the falling snow.

Maybe I am falling down.
Tell me should I touch the ground?
Maybe I won't make a sound
in the darkness all around.

The silence of a winter's night

brings memories I hold inside;
remembering a blue moonlight
upon the fallen snow.

Maybe I am falling down.
Tell me should I touch the ground?
Maybe I won't make a sound
in the darkness all around.

I close my window to the night.
I leave the sky her tears of white.
And all is lit by candlelight
amid the falling snow.

And all is lit by candlelight
amid the falling snow.


VIDEO



5. IT'S IN THE RAIN


Every time
the rain comes down,
close my eyes and listen.
I can hear the lonesome sound
of the sky as it cries.

Listen to the rain
Here it comes again
Hear it in the rain

Feel the touch
of tears that fall
-they won't fall forever
In the way the day will flow
all things come,
all things go.

Listen to the rain
...the rain...
Here it comes again...
...again...
Hear it in the rain
...the rain...

Late at night
I drift away -
I can hear you calling,
and my name
is in the rain,
leaves on trees whispering,
deep blue sea's mysteries.

Even when
this moment ends,
can't let go this feeling.
Everything
will come again
in the sound,
falling down,
of the sky as it cries.
Hear my name in the rain.

6. AMARANTINE


You know when you give your love away
it opens your heart,
everything is new.
And you know time will always find a way
to let your heart believe it’s true.

You know love is everything you say;
a whisper, a word,
promises you give.
You feel it in the heartbeat of the day.
You know this is the way love is.

Love is.

You know love may sometimes make you cry,
so let the tears go,

they will flow away,
for you know love will always let you fly
-how far a heart can fly away!

Amarantine...
Amarantine...
Love is.
Love is.

You know when love’s
shining in your eyes
it may be the stars
fallen from above.
And you know love
is with you when you rise,
for night and day belong to love.

7. ANYWHERE IS


I walk the maze of moments
but everywhere I turn to
begins a new beginning
but never finds a finish
I walk to the horizon
and there I find another
it all seems so surprising
and then I find that I know

Chorus: You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
We stay here we're not together
Anywhere is
The moon upon the ocean
is swept around in motion
but without ever knowing
the reason for its flowing
in motion on the ocean
the moon still keeps on moving
the waves still keep on waving
and I still keep on going
Chorus: You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
We stay here we're not together

Anywhere is
I wonder if the stars sign
the life that is to be mine
and would they let their light shine
enough for me to follow
I look up to the heavens
but night has clouded over
no spark of constellation

no Vega no Orion

(humming)

The shells upon the warm sands
have taken from their own lives
the echo of their story
but all I hear are low sounds
as pillow words are weaving
and willow waves are leaving
but should I be believing
That I am only dreaming
Chorus: You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
We stay here we're not together
Anywhere is
To leave the tread of all time
and let it make a dark line
in hopes that I can still find
the way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
begin a new beginning
still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish
It's either this or that way
it's one way or the other
it should be one direction
it could be on reflection
the turn I have just taken
the turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end.

8. TRAIN AND WINTER RAINS

City Streets passing by,
Underneath stormy skies.

Neon signs in the night,
Red and blue city lights.
Cargo trains rolling by,
Once again someone cries.

Trains and winter rains,
No going back, No going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.

Everytime, it's the same.
One more night, one more train.
Everywhere empty roads,
Where they go, no-one knows.


Trains and winter rains,
No going back, No going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.

Trains and winter rains,
No going back, No going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.

Trains and winter rains,
No going back, No going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.

9. ONLY TIME



Who can say
where the road goes
where the day flows
only time
And who can say
if your love grows
as your heart chose
only time
Who can say
why your heart sighs
as your love flies
only time
And who can say
why your heart cries
when your love lies
only time

Who can say
when the roads meet
that love might be
in your heart
And who can say
when the day sleeps
if the night keeps
all your heart

Night keeps all your heart

Who can say
if your love grows
as your heart chose
only time
And who can say
where the road goes
where the day flows
only time

Who knows - only time
Who knows - only time

10. EVENING FALLS

When the evening falls and the daylight is fading,
from within me calls - could it be I am sleeping?
For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely.
close to home - I cannot say.
close to home feeling so far away.
As I walk there before me a shadow
from another world, where no other can follow.
carry me to my own, to where I can cross over...
close to home - I cannot say.
close to home feeling so far away.
Forever searching; never right, I am lost
in oceans of night. Forever
hoping I can find memories.
those memories I left behind.
Even though I leave will I go on believing
that this time is real - am I lost in this feeling?
like a child passing through, never knowing the reason.
I am home - I know the way.
I am home - feeling oh, so far away.

11. EXILE

Cold as the northern winds
in December mornings,
Cold is the cry that rings
from this far distant shore.
Winter has come to lay
too close beside me.
How can I chase away
all these fears deep inside?
I'll wait the signs to come.
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come.
I'll find a way home.
My light shall be the moon
and my path, the ocean.
My guide, the morning star
as I sail home to you.
I'll wait the signs to come.
I'll find a way.
I will wait the time to come.
I'll find a way home.
Who then can warm my soul?
Who can quell my passion?
Out of these dreams, a boat
I will sail home to you.

12. ORINOCCO FLOW [SAIL AWAY]



Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)
let me sail, let me sail, let the orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.

from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.

from the North to the South, Ebudae into Khartoum,
from the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.

we can sail, we can sail...
we can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
we can sail, we can sail...

13. PAINT THE SKY WITH STARS


Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars

Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars

Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?

Night has brought to those who sleep
Only dreams they cannot keep
I have legends in the deep
Paint the sky with stars

Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?

Place a name upon the night
One to set your heart alight
And to make the darkness bright
Paint the sky with stars.

14. DREAMS ARE MORE PRECIOUS


Come see, high above.

Come see, high in the heavens.

A new star shining bright.

Out of the darkness, comes a light.

Come here, midnight chimes

Come here, bells that are ringing

And from some distant shore

Sounds of a journey, echo on

This is the night

They say,

Everyone wants a dream.

This is the night

They say

Nothing is as it seems.

Come sleep, close your eyes.

Come sleep, give me your sorrow.

And I keep watch for you.

Until the dawn is, breaking through.

Until the morning wakens you.

Da, Da, Da...

Come dream, through the night.

Come dream, and then tomorrow

They'll see who, what will know.

Dreams are more precious than gold

Dreams are more precious than gold

Dreams are more precious than gold

1. WHO MAKES YOU FEEL



I don't touch you the way I used to
And I don't call and write, when I'm away
We don't make love as often as we did do
What couldn't wait, now waits and usually goes away

But listen and think when I say
Oh but listen and think when I say
Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel
Who loves you and knows you the way I do
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do
Who makes you feel like I make you feel

I don't mind if you come home late
And I don't ever ask you where you've been
I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me

But listen and think when I say
Oh but listen and think when I say

Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel
Who loves you and knows you the way I do
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do
Who makes you feel like I make you feel
Who makes you feel like I make you feel
Who makes you feel like I make you feel

Being weak, when I am strong
Being safe in who you are
Being sad and loved, but not alone

But listen and think when I say it
Oh but listen and think when I say it
Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel
Who loves you and knows you the way I do
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do
Who makes you feel like I make you feel

2. I AM NO ANGEL



If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbye
Well I'd be rich beyond my dreams, I'm sorry for my weary life
I know I'm not perfect but I can smile
and I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes
If you tell me that I can't, I will, I will, I'll try all night
and if I say I'm coming home, I'll probably be out all night
I know I can be afraid but I'm alive
and I hope that you can trust this heart behing my tired eyes

I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly

I know I'm not around each night
and I know I always think I'm right
I can believe that you might look around

I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly

3. LET US DO THINGS WE NORMALLY DO



Let's pretend that we'll be here tomorrow
And I'll try for you to be a little more on time
I know you need to say you know you've let me down
But you haven't and it's hard to talk with people all around

Please don't say how proud you are
Lets do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later
You'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to

Lets forget that we're here and make some plans
We'll go for walks
Sit on the bench we always sat
I'll tell you every little detail of my day and so will you
Don't try to stay awake
I'm feeling tired too

This is just another day
Let's do the things we normally do

I'll say see you later you'll sing a line or two

From your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to

Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons
And everybody's stood behind
The man behind the wire
There's a fight to love
A fight to have
Your bed's a battlefield and back
And all of this will just be stripped away

Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to

Don't look me in the eye more than you need to

Don't try to say goodbye if I don't want to
Don't say how proud you are
And say I'm far away
and take along your
and say a word
and I can say fade away

4. NEVER WANT TO SAY IT'S LOVE.

I could put it down to being tired,
Or coming home to an empty house,
A passing moment,
A little man -
No one around to stop me writing to you.

I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of

I could apologize,
And say 'tear it up,
And put it down to the pills I've taken'
Seeing my friends with their lives moved on
Well I've been gently drifting

I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today
As I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From an only one change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of

My home is home
And I'm settled now
I've made it through the restless phase
I have no reason to get bored anymore
[
My friends are around and your name comes up
Asking if I ever heard from you
I'm keeping it quiet about those words to you
But I meant every word that I said
I stand by every word that I said

I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today
As I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From an only one change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today
As I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From an only one change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of

5. ALL YOU WANT

I'd like to watch you sleep at night
to hear you breathe by my side
And though sleep leaves me behind
there's nowhere I'd rather be
And now our bed is oh so cold
my hands feel empty
no one to hold
I can sleep what side I want
It's not the same with you gone
Oh if you'd come home
I'll let you know that
All you want
Is right here in this room
All you need
Is sitting here with you
All you want

It's been three years
One night apart
but in that night you tore my heart
If only you had slept alone
If those seeds had not been sown

Oh you could come home and you would know that
All you want
Is right here in this room
All you need
Is sitting here with you
All you want

I hear your key turning in the door
I won't be hearing that sound anymore
And you and your sin
can leave the way you just came in
send my regards to her

I hope you've found that
All you want
Is right there in that room
All you need
Is sitting there with you
All you want

I'd like to watch you sleep at night
to hear you breathe by my side

6. DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE



I wanna go to bed
With arms around me
But wake up on my own
Pretend
That I'm still sleeping
Til' you go home

Oh
I can't look at you
This morning
I should probably have a sign
That says
'Leave right now or quicker'
You've overstayed your time

If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love
You're too close to me
And that's why
You have to leave

Maybe I slept peaceful
On your shoulder
Your arm warm around my side
But it's different now
It's morning
And I can't face your smile

The second that I feel
Your safe hands
Reaching out for mine

I slip away and out of sight
You've over stayed your time

If I don't believe in love
Nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is new for me
Nothing is wrong for me
And nothing is real for me

When I don't believe in love
Why do you care for me?
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
You're getting too close to me
And that's why you have to leave
And that's why you have to leave

If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is left for me
If I don't believe in love
You're too good for me

7. MY LOVER IS GONE

My lover's gone
his boots no longer by my door
he left at dawn
and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again

My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last
no more his song
the tune upon his lips has passed

I sing alone
while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again


VIDEO




8. BURNING LOVE


I found no peace
In the lies that I've told,
I'm only hurt by the blows that get withheld
The sharper I get cut
The harder I get held
More that I believe
That you will come to me

Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for
Whao-ao
Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for

I found no peace
In the lies that I've told,
I'm only hurt by the blows that get withheld
The sharper I get cut
The harder I get held
More that I believe
That you will come to me

Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for
Whao-ao
Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for

'Bout you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for

Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for
Whao-ao
Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for

9. DON'T THINK OF ME


So you're with her
and not with me
I hope she's sweet
and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully
a little angel beside you
So you're with her
and not with me
Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house
is small and clean
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me

So you're with her
and not with me
I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend
I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel

When you see her sweet smile baby

Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me

Does it bother you now all the mess I made
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played
Does it bother you now when I'm not there

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me

10. CLOSER


So leave your taxi waiting
And turn and close my door
And sit back down where you were sitting
A little closer than before

And when you look that serious
It just makes me want you more
And I've been meaning to tell you

The closer you get, the better I feel
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around
The closer you get, the better I feel

And yes I know you're nervous
Never seen you so unsure
You haven't touched your food tonight
And you're drinking more and more

And there's no need to hurry
Take your time I'll still be here
And I've been meaning to tell you

The closer you get, the better I feel
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around, the better I feel

The closer you get, the better you see
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around
The closer you get, the better I feel
The better I feel, the better I feel

We've been circling for time baby
We're coming down to land tonight
The wait is over and now it's easy
Everything is fine

The closer you get, the better I feel
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around, the better I feel

The closer you get, the better you see
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says, that I look happier
When you're around, the closer you get
The better I feel

11. WHITE FLAG

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
I'll tell you that, but if I didn't say it
Well I'd still have felt it, where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess
And destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of it's over
Then I'm sure that, that makes sense
And I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet which I'm sure we will
All that was then will be there still
I'll let it pass and hold my tongue
And you will think that I've moved on

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

12. IF I ARISE[ WITH A.R. REHMAN]




[Dido:]
In your life, your mad
In your car, your sad
O’ your taller now I’ve found
Hold your fire course
O’ your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

[A R R:]
If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
More than it is

[Dido:]
If I rise, one more chance
All our dreams, more than this
O’ your taller now I’ve found
Hold your fire course
O’ your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

[A R R:]
If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
It’s more than it is

[Chorus:]
If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call
Though I’ve never lost
Believe I don’t care
Never again


[A R R & Dido:]
If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
It’s more than it is

[Chorus:]
If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call

[Dido:]
If I believe, there’s more than this
Anymore than this

13. LIFE FOR RENT




I haven’t ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again I’m not in love
But it’s not as if I mind
that your heart ain’t exactly breaking

It’s just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I’ve always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what’s happened to that dream
Cos there’s really nothing left here to stop me

It’s just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won’t let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won’t even try
Well how can I say I’m alive

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

1. REPLACE YOUR HEART






You know I never want to hurt you
I don't know why I'd ever want to
Oh oh oh

There's no comfort in another face
So are you gonna let it go to waste
Oh oh oh

I keep on tryin'
But how can I buy in
When they don't compare to you
No oh

I'm running out of patience
Tired of imitations
Looking for someone to
Replace your heart
Everyone I talk to
Is just another not you
Makes me wonder
How we're so far apart
I'm tired of imitations
Running out of patience
Tryin' to replace
Replace your heart

Must be crazy if I let you go
You were everything I need to know
Come back home
Feel like I'm dying
Cause I keep on finding
Every junction leads to here
And I'm lost

I'm running out of patience
Tired of imitations
Looking for someone to
Replace your heart
Everyone I talk to

Is just another not you
Makes me wonder
How we're so far apart
I'm tired of imitations
Running out of patience
Tryin' to replace
Replace your heart

Everywhere I turn
Is the wrong direction
Everyone I see is the wrong reflection
Reminding me that I just
Can't replace your heart

I'm running out of patience
Tired of imitations
Looking for someone to
Replace your heart
Everyone I talk to
Is just another not you
Makes me wonder
How we're so far apart

I'm tired of imitations
Running out of patience
Tryin' to replace
Replace your heart

I've been through the crowds
Call your name out loud
But there's still no way to
Replace you

I've looked everywhere
Everywhere everywhere
To replace your heart
To replace your heart

2. GLAD YOU CAME



The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me

And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

3. A GOOD DAY FOR LOVE TO DIE

Seen the change watching it fade
Holding my breath feeling it fail
Working hard wondering why
Can't fix it now so why even try

We've run out of time
It's over I'm over this life, I'm running dry
I'm out of here out of your life
It's a good day for resurrection
It's a good time to break the connection
To the heart that I've been neglecting
It's a good day for love for love to die

Not easy to say harder to do
But that's no kinda life, so I'll leave it to you
Working it hard wondering why
Can't fix it now so why even try

We've run out of time
It's over I'm over this life, I'm running dry
I'm out of here out of your life
It's a good day for resurrection

It's a good time to break the connection
To the heart that I've been neglecting
It's a good day for love for love to die

There's not a chance, there's not a prayer
Can't pull a miracle out of the air
So now I'm leaving letting it lie, letting it die

We've run out of time
It's over I'm over this life, I'm running dry
I'm out of here out of your life
It's a good day for resurrection
It's a good time to break the connection
To the heart that I've been neglecting
It's a good day for love for love to die

For love to die, for love to die
For love to die, for love to die
It's a good day for love for love to die, for love to die

4. MADE

You could hurt with the words,
You could change my life,
You could tell me the truth,
It would cut like a knife but I won't let go
But I won't let go, but I won't let go

You could fall, hit the wall
You could lose your way
You could lose, you could bruise,
Spend it all in day but I won't let go
But I won't let go, but I won't let go

Cause if I had to save someone, I'd still save you
And if I had to pray for someone, I'd pray for you

Cause you know we are made for each other
Can't take that away, made for each other
Like sunshine and day, made for each other, I'm here to stay
Cause you know we are made for each other
I'm made for you, made for each other
Like stars and the moon, made for each other
We'll see it through (Cause you know we are made)

They could take, they could hate
They could break our hearts
They could try all they want,
Never tear us apart, we will not let go,
We will not let go, we will not let go

Cause if I had to save someone, I'd still save you
And if I had to pray for someone, I'd pray for you

Cause you know we are made for each other
Can't take that away, made for each other
Like sunshine and day, made for each other, I'm here to stay
Cause you know we are made for each other
I'm made for you, made for each other
Like stars and the moon, made for each other
We'll see it through

Cause you know we are made, made, made, made
All of them are fake, fake, fake, fake
We just gotta break, break, break, break
You know we are made, made, made, made

Cause you know we are made for each other
Can't take that away, made for each other
Like sunshine and day, made for each other, I'm here to stay
Cause you know we are made for each other
I'm made for you, made for each other
Like stars and the moon, made for each other
We'll see it through (Cause you know we are made)

Cause you know we are made...

5. HEART VACANCY


I hear your heart cry for love,
But you won’t let me make it right.
You were hurt, but I decided,
That you were worth the fight.
Every night, you lock up,
You won’t let me come inside.
But the look in your eyes,
As I can turn the tide.

In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
I can tell you can fit one more.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
I don’t care who was there before.

I hear your heart cry for love,
Then you act like there’s no room.
Room for me, or anyone,
'Don’t disturb' is all I see.
Close the door, turn the key,
On everything that we could be.
If loneliness would move out,
I’d fill the vacancy.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart.

This ain’t the Heartbreak Hotel,
Even though I know it well.
Those no shows, they sure tell,
In the way you hold yourself.
Don’t you fret, should you get,
Another cancellation.
Give me a chance I’d make
Permanent reservation.

In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
I can tell you can fit one more.
Open up make a brand new start,
I don’t care who’s stayed before.

I hear your heart cry for love,
Then you act like there’s no room.
Room for me, or anyone,
“Don’t disturb” is all I see.
Close the door, turn the key,
On everything that we could be.
If loneliness would move out,
I’d fill the vacancy.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart.

When I, talk to you, on the phone,
you, listen close.

I hear your heart cry for love,
Then you act like there’s no room.
Room for me, or anyone,
“Don’t disturb” is all I see.
Close the door, turn the key,
On everything that we could be.
If loneliness would move out,
I’d fill the vacancy.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart.

6. GOLDEN

Don't live in black and white do we?
It's just another fight to me
If we don't take it on we won't get far

It seems so far away but so close
It's there for us to take when most
Would waste it don't waste it

And we try, and we fail
And we live another day
And we rise like a phoenix
From the flames
And it burns but turns out golden

We loved to dream aloud
With both feet on the ground
But where's the sense in that?
We'd never get it back
We'd be wasted we'd be wasted

And we try, and we fail
And we live another day
And we rise like a phoenix
From the flames
And it burns but it turns out golden

And we went for the sky
And fell down low
And flew too high
But survived cos you and I
We turned out golden

They tore it to pieces
We'll build it again
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

And we try, and we fail
And we live another day
And we rise like a phoenix
From the flames
And it burns but it turns golden

And went for the sky
And fell down low
And flew too high
But we still survived cos you and I
We turned out golden

7. LOSE MY MIND



They say that time
Heals everything
But they don't know you
And the scars you bring

'Cos you left a jagged hole
And I can't stand it anymore


If heartache was a physical pain
I could face it I could face it
But you're hurting me
From inside of my head
I can't take it I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind

I'd erase my thoughts
If only I knew how
Fill my head with white noise
If it would drown you out

Kill the sound

If heartache was a physical pain
I could face it I could face it
But you're hurting me
From inside of my head
I can't take it I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind

And I'd rather be crazy
I'd rather go insane
Than having you stalk
My every thought
Then having you here inside my heart

If heartache was a physical pain
I could face it I could face it
But you're hurting me
From inside of my head
I can't take it I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind

8. WEAKNESS


She aims a smile with the safety off
And she's not afraid to use it
She holds my gaze just long enough
For me to feel like I'm gonna lose it

And I know that she knows
That I know what she's doing to me
And she knows when she calls
I'll fall for her every time

Cos I'm wrapped I'm wrapped around
Your perfect little finger
And I'm trapped inside the cell
Of every sound she makes
She is my weakness
She is my weakness

A look from her is like oxygen
How would I keep breathing
Without her
She breaks a whole as she looks away
Now my heart ain't beating
Without her

And I know that she knows
That I know what she's doing to me
And she knows when she goes
I'll come for her every time

Cos I'm wrapped I'm wrapped around
Your perfect little finger
And I'm trapped inside the cell
Of every sound she makes
She is my weakness
She is my weakness

I know it might sound crazy
But I don't wanna let go
Now I don't mind spending every night if you don't let go

I know it might sound crazy
But I don't wanna let go
Now I don't mind spending every night if you don't let go

Cos I'm wrapped I'm wrapped around
Your perfect little finger
And I'm trapped inside the cell
Of every sound she makes
She is my weakness
She is my weakness
.. hehe

9. LET'S GET UGLY.

Now this melody's a healer
It's got my baby in a fever
And I hope it gets the better of you
With this Morricone music
There's no way you can refute it
But girl you ain't got nothing to lose

Aye aye aye girl oh oh oh
It's not who you know
When I'm what you know
Aye aye aye
Just come and go with me
Aye aye aye, girl gone gone gone
Don't want a room full of snakes if the lights are on and
Aye aye aye
Just come and go with me

Will the angel or the devil
Die in ecstasy
There's something coming over you come over me
Falling in love is never easy
'Cause they're so good I'm so bad, so let's get ugly

Now she's a gentle mental
Got perversions detrimental
But there's times I just don't know what to do.
She's all grown up and sexy
And I know she's not my baby
But man, I ain't got nothing to lose

Aye aye aye girl oh oh oh
It's not who you know
When I'm what you know
Aye aye aye
Just come and go with me
Aye aye aye, girl gone gone gone
Don't want a room full of snakes
If the lights are on and
Aye aye aye,
Just come and go with me

Will the angel or the devil
Die in ecstasy?
There's something coming over you come over me.
Falling in love is never easy.
'Cause they're so good, I'm so bad, so let's get ugly.

It's never easy
The good the bad
The good the bad
Good bad Good Bad
Let's get ugly

Will the angel or the devil die in ecstasy?
There's something coming over you come over me.
Falling in love is never easy.
'Cause they're so good, I'm so bad, so let's get ugly.

10. ALL TIME LOW

[ Songwriters: Drewett, Edward James; Hector, Wayne Anthony; Mac, Steve;]



Praying won't do it
Hating won't do it
Drinking won't do it
Fighting won't knock you out of my head

Hiding won't hide it
Smiling won't hide it
Like I ain't tried it
Everyone's tried it now and failed somehow

So when you gonna let me
When you gonna let me out, out?

And if you know
How do you get up from an all time low?
I'm in pieces, seems like peace is the only thing I'll never know
How do you get out, get out?

'Cause driving won't do it
Flying won't do it
Denying won't do it
Crying won't drown it out, what you said

When I'm standing on the yellow line, waiting at the station
Or I'm late for work, a vital presentation
If you call me now girl without reservation
I would try to break through

But if you know
How do you get up from an all time low?
I'm in pieces, seems like peace is the only thing I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?

I can't even find a place to start
How do I choose between my head and heart?
'Til it ceases, I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?

A low, a low, a low, a low, a low, a low
Can you hear me?
A low, a low, a low, a low, a low, a low
Can't you hear me?
A low, a low, a low, a low, a low, a low
Can you hear me?
A low, a low, a low, a low, a low, a low

And if you know
How do you get up from an all time low?
I'm in pieces, seems like peace is the only thing I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?

I can't even find a place to start
How do I choose between my head and heart
'Til it ceases, I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?

I can't even find a place to start
How do I choose between my head and heart
'Til it ceases, I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?

1. SAVE YOUR GOOD BYES


[Songwriters: Kurstin, Gregory; Posner, Mike;]

Excuse me, your heart is in my heart
Hello, you've taken this too far

Am I just a piece you push in your board game?
Have you been laughing all day long?
You like it when it's hard for me to see straight
You make it go on and on and on and on and on

Save your goodbye
You're everywhere I go
You're everywhere I go
You're everywhere I go, go, go

I beg your pardon, you're standing on my love
Hello, have you not had enough?

But am I just a piece you push in your board game?
Have you been laughing all day long?
You like it when its hard for me to see straight
And make it go on and on and on and on and on

Save your goodbye
You're everywhere I go
You're everywhere I go
You're everywhere I go, go, go, go, go

Save your goodbye
You're everywhere I go
You're everywhere I go

You're everywhere I go, go, go, go, go

Yeah, it's my time to shine and my sword is true
You're back inside my mind, I can still remember
I say I'm chasin' dreams but you know
I've been runnin' away from, runnin' away from you

Some sort of comfort in your pain, I can't help but take it
No matter how I change there'll be no escapin'
I say I'm chasin' time but you know
I've been runnin' away, runnin' away from you

Save your goodbyee
(Save your goodbye, save your goodbye)
(Save your goodbye, save your goodbye)
You're everywhere I go
You're everywhere I go
You're everywhere I go, go, go, go, go

Save your goodbye
(Save your goodbye, save your goodbye)
(Save your goodbye, save your goodbye, save your goodbye)

You're everywhere I go
You're everywhere I go
You're everywhere I go, go, go, go, go

5. STILL NOT OVER YOU

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That after all these years I'd still be calling you
To try to sell you on the thought of coming back to me

Baby girl
Yea you were my first
But you've always been my favorite girl
And I just so happened to break up with my latest girl
So I think you should come over and be my latest girl
Latest girl

All I know
Is I still feel the same way that I felt
So long ago
And even though I **** other girls
Now I don't want them, so
We can pretend that were right back in 2000 yo, 2000 yo

Everybody knows I'm still not over you
Not over you
And every time I lose a girlfriend
I call you
Ya I call you

Walk with me
I made a few more beats since the last time you done talk to me
I got a few more connects in the game
But that's not all I need
Remember back in the day


You had a massive phone bill
From calling me
Why you stop calling me?

Remember babe
I wrote you all those love notes in 7th grade
I hope you threw those out when we went out separate ways
Cause I don't want to see them up for sale on ebay
Don't put them on ebay

Everybody knows I'm still not over you
Not over you
And every time I lose a girlfriend
I call you
Ya I call you

You were my first girl
So wont you be my last girl
Hey first girl
Wont you be my last girl
You were my first girl
So won't you be my last girl
Hey first girl
Won't you be my last girl

Everybody know I'm still not over you
Not over you
And every time I lose a girlfriend I call you
Ya I call you


I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That after all these years I'd still be calling you

6. CHEATED ON YOU



You’re not the first
You’re not the last
No Name
Like, The Rest In The Past
So Innocent
So Pure
So sweet
Now Dead To Me
Elegance has fallen from grace, with a light that’s cast out
Strip from your charities, your purities taken right out.
Consume by my will I must kill.
Take from you, prestige innocence away
Spread your legs wide open
Bust threw your hymen
Seepage of serenity
Pound out your virginity
begging me for mercy (Shut The Fuck Up)
Grind my dick threw your anatomy
Sensational urges tell me
Mangle up your cunt viciously
Eradicate your snatch completely

7. HEY CUPID

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh, yeah, alright

Hey Cupid (Hey Cupid)
Do I look stupid? (Do I look stupid?)
I'm not going to fall for none of yo tricks no more
Your arrow won't pierce my skin no more
[Repeat 2x]

Do you remember Mary?
The one you made me wanna marry
I tried to get into her sex life
But she said I was the friend type
Do you remember Katie?
'Cause you made her drive me crazy
I gave her all of my affection
Then she left me for my best friend

Now you keep shooting your arrow
You keep givin' my love away
But I don't see why you don't let me be
I don't want to play yo game

Hey Cupid (Hey Cupid)
Do I look stupid? (Do I look stupid?)
I'm not going to fall for none of yo tricks no more
Your arrow won't pierce my skin no more
[Repeat 2x]


Do you remember Rachel?
You made her look like such an angel
She told me I would be her first ride
That was just her first lie

Do you remember Ashley?
The one that only dated athletes
I tried to kiss her in my back seat
She turned away and slapped me

Now you keep shooting your arrow
You keep givin' my love away
But I don't see why you don't let me be
I don't want to play yo game

I wonder if you even remember how you gave away my love
Super glued my heart back together now, back the way it was
I wonder if you even remember how you gave away my love
Super glued my heart back together now...

Hey Cupid (Hey Cupid)
Do I look stupid? (Do I look stupid?)
I'm not going to fall for none of yo tricks no more
Your arrow won't pierce my skin no more
[Repeat 2x]

Maybe one day I'll fly
Who knows, who knows, who knows
(I know)
Who knows

I wish that I could be what I want to
I wish that I would do what I don't do
I need a miracle, I hope I come through
I'm tryna work it out, I needa jump soon
Cuz I've about had me enough of not havin' enough slacking and stuff, momma on the phone
Not bragging and nothin' cuz her son aint really got shit happenin' much
Saw my bank account like where was all the O's at?
Hit the club like where was all the hoes at?
In a lil change you gon' see how shit change you gon'
Be up in the crib like where was all her clothes at?
An' ask yo' girl she know it's easy to say no to a nigga that's broke
But somebody with doe, that got a lil mo'? shit ionno

Sometimes my mind wanders away from me, I know
I light my dutchie up, puff
Maybe one day I'll fly
Who knows, who knows, who knows
(I know)
Who knows
(I know)
And I always had drive
Gets (me) where I'm goin' if I ain't got a ride
And when they ask, do you do what you love?
Ima say I do if I ain't got a bride
And I always carry faith like big
Tryna do it big so my crib on cribs
And my girl ain't gotta worry 'bout shit
Cuz our world is gon' be the shit
So she can tell her momma Ima keeper
I am a dreamer, I coulda been a king, huh
Ima put my hands together like in applaud
Look upward, like whaddup lord
Huh, I know if you try to you could turn these gray skies back to sky blue
It was made for the gift of gold like a drive thru
Give us opportunity and see what we do with it

Sometimes my mind wanders away from me, I know
I light my dutchie up, puff
Maybe one day I'll fly
Who knows, who knows, who knows
(I know)
Who knows
(I know)

9. DO YOU WANNA?

[Songwriters: Adler, Cisco; Lamontagne, Ray; Posner, Mike;]

I wake up early in the morning
You go to sleep late at night
I kinda front like I don't want you
Inside I'm losing my mind

Do you wanna be my baby?
Do you wanna be my girl?

Don't tell me that you got a boyfriend
Don't tell me I'm not your type
Let's do a little less talking
And a little more, little more,
little more feelin' right

Do you wanna be my baby?
Do you wanna be my girl?
Do you wanna be my baby?

Do you wanna be my girl?

Let it breathe, let it breathe
Let it breathe, let it breathe

I like to play hard to get
I walk around talkin' shit
But you know just what I need

See I don't got time for games
And I can't afford diamond rings
But you know, you know, you know
You should be with me

Do you wanna be my baby?
(Say it baby)
Do you wanna be my girl?
Do you wanna be my baby?
(Would you be my baby?)
Do you wanna be my girl?

10. RED BUTTON

As I sat across the desk from hova
The only thing on my mind was you
Now you say we're over
I wasted all that time on you

(HOOK)
Cause you let me go in December
And I got signed in July
You must think that I don't remember
Cause now you call me all the time
If you think I'm gon take you back,
Baby girl you got another thing coming
You should leave me alone
Stop calling my phone
Cause I'm just gonna hit that, hit that, hit that...

(CHORUS)
Red button, red button
I don't wanna hear your voice
You get the red button, red button
You should leave me alone, leave me alone


Red button, red button
I don't wanna hear your voice
Red button, red button
Cause I'm just gonna hit that, hit that, hit that...

Like when you took the job on wall street
Barely saw your face no more
Mrs too good to call me
Now I get paid more than you

(HOOK)

(CHORUS)

Don't call my phone no more
Don't call my phone no more
Don't call my phone no more
Don't call my phone no more

Don't call my phone no more
Don't call my phone no more
Don't call my phone no more
Don't call my... cause I'm just gonna hit that, hit that...

11. COOLER THAN ME

[Songwriters: Holljes, Eric Richard; Posner, Mike;]

If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me

You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me

You got your high brow shoes on your feet
And you wear 'em around like it ain't shit
But you don't know the way that you look
When your steps make that much noise

Shh, see I got you all figured out
You need every one's eyes just to feel seen
Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are
Who do you think that you are?

If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me

You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me

You got your high brow switch in your walk
And you don't even look when you pass by
But you don't know the way that you look
When your steps make that much noise

Shh, see I got you all figured out
You need every one's eyes just to feel seen
Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are

Who do you think that you are?

If I could write you a song to make you fall in love

I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this

You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me

Now don't you dare act like you know don't know
Know what's up? 'Cause your nose is up
I'm approaching up, pshh, yup
Like I can't give you winter in the summer
A summer in the winter, Miami in December

Trying to look bored in them Diors, she probably is
Was acting shallow 'til she found out how deep that my pockets is
Mrs. pre-Madonna, this is your reminder
That I think you fine, but I'm finer

'Cause it sure seems
('Cause it sure seems)
You got no doubt
(That you got no doubt)
But we all see
(We all see)
You got your head in the clouds
(Clouds)

If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
(Under my arm)
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me

You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me

Songwriters: Blanco, Benny; Posner, Mike;

We'll just keep running from tomorrow with our lips locked
Yeah, you got me begging, begging

Baby, please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here?
I don't know if you feel the way I do
If you leave, I'm gonna find you

Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby, please don't

From my bed and start another day
Stay instead

I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow with our lips locked
Yeah, you got me begging, begging


Baby, please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here?
I don't know if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm gonna find you

Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby, please don't
Baby, please don't

I stay running from tomorrow
I stay running from tomorrow
Well, I stay running from tomorrow
Said, I stay running from tomorrow

Baby, please don't go
(Please don't go)
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here?
I don't know if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm gonna find you
(I'm gon', I'm gon', I'm gonna find you)

Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
(Don't leave me, leave me)
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby, please don't run away
