I'll Stay
03:32
|
|||
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

Pot of Gold
03:25

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

All My Night
03:02
|

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

The One Who Gets Away
03:47
|
|||
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

Can't Take it With Me
03:36
|
|||
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
|
|||
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

Touchdown in California
The day that hell was freezing over
And I called to say I told ya
We might not make it out alive
Watching the revolution
On every television
And I got this premonition
There’s gonna be a riot tonight
Feel it coming
Feel it rising
Better not let me down
And in the early morning
We go from black to orange
Why didn’t you heed the warning?
It’s too late now to change your mind
Feel it coming
Feel it rising
Better not let me down
Feel it coming
Feel it rising
Better not let me down
Feel it coming
Feel it rising
Better not let me down
Dear California
The world is watching, got this message for ya
Feel it coming
Feel it rising
Better not let me down
Feel it coming
(Coming)
Feel it rising
(Rising)
Better not let me down
(Better not let me down)
Feel it coming
(Feel it coming)
Feel it rising
(Feel it rising)
Better not let me down
(Better not let me down)
Feel it coming
Feel it rising
Better not let me down
