I'll Stay 03:32
lyrics

Everything new gets old Everything hot gets cold Sometimes it takes all your light Just to hold back the night I’ll stay If you don’t fade away I only wanna hear you say You’ll meet me half the way As long as you’re here, I’ll stay We made our mistakes There ain’t no second takes But this page in history Belongs to you and me I’ll stay If you don’t fade away I only wanna hear you say You’ll meet me half the way As long as you’re here, I’ll stay Always looking down is gonna keep us both from flying We might not get it right, but the beauty’s in the trying And I won’t give up, if you don’t give up.. I won’t give up on us I’ll stay If you don’t fade away I only wanna hear you say You’ll meet me half the way I’ll stay If you don’t fade away I only wanna hear you say You’ll meet me half the way As long as you’re here, I’ll stay As long as you’re here, I’ll stay As long as you’re here, I’ll stay

Well, it might Just be the red wine Or the reverend Green preachin’ atcha Spinning a sermon through the scratches But judging by Goosebumps on your thighs Your motor is fired up and runnin’ I press my luck, I push your buttons Oh baby You still got it Oh baby I get excited I get ahead of myself Your body is a rainbow Take me to your pot of gold I can’t help myself Your body is a rainbow Take me to your pot of gold Well it feels like Just like the first time When I was chocolate in your hands Melting through the cracks And I still melts for ya Anytime you say you wanna Oooh baby I can’t say it out loud Dammit, I’m down Mamma, You still got it Oh baby I get excited I get ahead of myself Your body is a rainbow Take me to your pot of gold I can’t help myself Your body is a rainbow Take me to your pot of gold Now don’t Misunderstand I’m not That kind of man I take your colours seriously I’m just trying to tell ya How ya Make a rich man out of me I get ahead of myself Your body is a rainbow Take me to your pot of gold I can’t help myself Your body is a rainbow Take me to your pot of gold I get ahead of myself Your body is a rainbow Take me to your pot of gold I can’t help myself Your body is a rainbow Take me to your pot of gold

I have been trying to get your attention Dyin’ to share my affection You see those other fools Those wannabe who’s whos Trying to get your attention I’ve been admiring your composition Eyein’ up all my competition You hear those other boys But you don’t like their noise Admiring your composition Where have you been all of my night? I’ve been right here trying to catch your eye The way you shine, this heart of mine Is buzzing around your light Baby, where you been.. All my night Well, well, well hallelujah Let me show my gratitude to ya You won’t find nobody who Gon’ love ya like I do Well well well hallelujah Where have you been all of my night? I’ve been right here trying to catch your eye The way you shine, this heart of mine Is buzzing around your light Baby, where you been.. All my night Turn on the turn-on-ables Fire up the fire-up-ables Touch the untouchables I’ve been waiting all night And the time is right Where have you been all of my night? I’ve been right here trying to catch your eye The way you shine, this heart of mine Is buzzing around your light Baby, where you been.. All my night

Here you come again and I get lost for words Baby, I got so much to say Ask me what I’m drinking, I lose my nerve Leave your tip, now you’re walking away Rattle through my head like thunder Every time you come on my scene I just wanna give you my number I wanna get in touch, if you know what I mean Maybe it’s the way ay ay that you look at me Maybe it’s the way that you don’t I can feel my tongue untying, I know what to say When I’m too late And you’re the one who gets away I could be your lover, I could be your friend I could be your ride home tonight I would do it better than you ever had If I could only conversate this right Ooh, you make me so nervous Under the spotlight without a line Play me if you think I deserve this And I’ll be your fool, baby every time Maybe it’s the way ay ay that you look at me Maybe it’s the way that you don’t I can feel my tongue untying, I know what to say When I’m too late And you’re the one who gets away It’s gonna hit me when I get back home And I’ll write it down, write it down It’s perfect, but it don’t mean a thing I forget my name when you come around Don’t stop coming around Don’t stop Maybe it’s the way ay ay that you look at me Maybe it’s the way that you don’t I can feel my tongue untying, I know what to say When I’m too late And you’re the one who gets away You’re the one who gets away You’re the one who gets away

Packed my bags, well, I’ve been walking on eggshells Now I’m scrambling for the door Counting up my things is Playing on my heart strings What am I even leaving for? You’ll still be on my mind If I leave it all behind If I can’t take it with me Then I don’t want to go If I can’t have you where I’m going to I’m going to say “oh no” I don’t wanna be Half of you and me If I can’t take it with me Then I don’t wanna go Sweeter than sunshine You were my party time I was your clown, and I’m still your fool Are we past the brink? ‘Cause I can’t help but think We might have given up too soon We said forget it But I know I’ll regret it If I can’t take it with me Then I don’t want to go If I can’t have you where I’m going to I’m going to say “oh no” I don’t wanna be Half of you and me If I can’t take it with me Then I don’t wanna go All the pieces All I’m thinking of We can split up the little bits Oh, but Why divide the love We said forget it But I know I’ll regret it If I can’t take it with me Then I don’t want to go If I can’t have you where I’m going to I’m going to say “oh no” I don’t wanna be Half of you and me If I can’t take it with me Then I don’t wanna go

Unreasonable Doubt 04:25
lyrics

Every day I wake with so much weight on my shoulders Black and white just seems to fade to grey as I get older Knots in my stomach, life in my hands A monster before me claiming he’s a man I could kill him myself, I could If I wasn’t bound by the gown and the gavel, I would This scared little girl over there Somebody’s daughter Everybody knows that he did it He’s done everything but all out admit it And I hear her cry But my hands are tied The jury’s out Well beyond unreasonable doubt They’re gonna say: “She was asking for it - A skirt that short is an invitation” “After all he’s just a man, and she led him to temptation” Now she’s got knots in her stomach, face in her hands A shell of herself on her way to the stand If she could stop it right now she would But telling the truth don’t do her no good She’s already lost, she thinks, Why even bother? Everybody knows that he did it He’s done everything but all out admit it And I hear her cry But my hands are tied The jury’s out Well beyond unreasonable The law is the law Gotta bite my tongue Gotta watch him walk I said the law is the law But she’s somebody’s daughter She’s somebody’s daughter The girl is somebody’s daughter And he Everybody knows that he did it He’s done everything but all out admit it And I hear her cry But my hands are tied The jury’s out Well beyond unreasonable doubt
