Spicy Margarita | Nu King | 2024-02-16 | 2:34 | 64 | [
"Michael Bublé"
] | Michael Bublé | [Intro: Michael Bublé]
You're my spicy margarita, babe
Burn my tongue, make me shake
Mix it up or give it to me straight
Turn me on, make me say
[Verse 1: Jason Derulo]
Oh
Cabo, met that girl in Cabo
Wearin' Ferragamo
We was goin' shot for shot for shot like Desperado
Snuck into the bathroom
She might be a problem
I should probably stay away
[Pre-Chorus: Jason Derulo]
Girl, you crazy, couldn't even wait for the room (Ooh)
Shakin', shakin', tryin' to keep up with you (Ooh)
[Chorus: Michael Bublé, Jason Derulo, Michael Bublé & Jason Derulo]
You're my spicy margarita, babe
Burn my tongue, make me shake (Oh my, my, my)
Mix it up or give it to me straight
Turn me on, make me say (Oh my, my, my)
Shots, shots, shots, shots, I just can't stop
You're the only one I want (You're the only one I want)
You're my spicy margarita, baby
Burn my tongue, make me say (Oh my, my, my, oh my, my, my)
Mornin', sex me in the mornin'
Put on a performance
I'll be goin' shot for shot for shot, she think I'm Jordan
But she scream, "Derulo" (Derulo)
My ego enormous
Fillin' up your body, babe
[Pre-Chorus: Jason Derulo]
Girl, you crazy, couldn't even wait for the room (Ooh, oh)
Shakin', shakin', tryin' to keep up with you
[Chorus: Michael Bublé, Jason Derulo, Michael Bublé & Jason Derulo]
You're my spicy margarita, babe
Burn my tongue, make me shake, yeah (Oh my, my, my)
Mix it up or give it to me straight
Turn me on, make me say (Oh my, my, my)
Shots, shots, shots, shots, I just can't stop
You're the only one I want (You're the only one I want)
You're my spicy margarita, baby (You're my spicy, yeah)
Burn my tongue (You're my spicy, yeah), make me say (You're my, you're my, oh my, my, my)
You're my dancin' freak
[Outro: Jason Derulo]
Is it hot enough?
Yeah, yeah, it's hot enough
Should I take it off?
Mm, hell yeah, you should take it off
Is it hot enough?
Yeah, yeah, it's hot enough
Should I take it off?

It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas | Christmas - Deluxe Special Edition | 2011-10-24 | 3:27 | 59 | [
"Michael Bublé"
] | Michael Bublé | [Verse 1]
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten
It's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
[Verse 2]
A pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
[Verse 3]
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon, the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
Sure it's Christmas once more | [

It's a Beautiful Day | To Be Loved | 2013-04-11 | 3:19 | 63 | [
"Michael Bublé"
] | Michael Bublé | [Verse 1]
I don't know why
You think that you could hold me
When you couldn't get by by yourself
And I don't know who
Would ever want to tear the seam of someone's dream
Baby, it's fine, you said that we should just be friends
Well I came up with that line and I'm sure
That it's for the best
If you ever change your mind, don't hold your breath
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you may not believe
That baby, I'm relieved
When you said goodbye, my whole world shined
[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling
If we're drinking, then I'm buying
And I know there's no denying
It's a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music's playing
And even if it started raining
You wouldn't hear this boy complaining
'Cause I'm glad that you're the one that got away
It's a beautiful day
It's my turn to fly, so girls, get in line
'Cause I'm easy, no playing this guy like a fool
'Cause now I'm alright
You might've had me caged before, but not tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
And you may not believe
That baby, I'm relieved
This fire inside, it burns too bright
I don't want to say “so long”, I just want to say “goodbye”
[Chorus]
It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling
If we're drinking, then I'm buying
And I know there's no denying
It's a beautiful day, the sun is up and the music's playing
And even if it started raining
You wouldn't hear this boy complaining
'Cause I'm glad that you're the one that got away
[Bridge]
'Cause if you ever think I'll take up
My time with thinking of our break-up
Then you've got another thing coming your way
'Cause it's a beautiful day
[Outro]
Beautiful day
Oh, baby, any day that you're gone away

You can dance every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moon light

And in whose arms you're gonna be

Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go

Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he walk you home, you must tell him no
[Chorus]
Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Save the last dance for me
[Verse 5]
Oh I know that the music's fine

Or in whose arms you're gonna be

Baby won't you save the last dance for me
You make the promise that you save the last dance for me
Save the last dance
The very last dance

I Dreamed a Dream | I Dreamed A Dream | 2009-11-20 | 3:10 | 50 | [
"Susan Boyle"
] | Susan Boyle | [Verse 1]
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I prayed that God would be forgiving
[Verse 2]
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
[Bridge]
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
And they turn your dreams to shame
[Verse 3]
Still I dreamed he'd come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
[Verse 4]
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed | [

The Winner Takes It All | Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs from the Stage | 2012-11-12 | 4:49 | 44 | [
"Susan Boyle"
] | Susan Boyle | [Verse 1]
I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
[Chorus]
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's a destiny
[Verse 2]
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain
[Verse 3]
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say?
Rules must be obeyed
[Chorus]
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
[Verse 4]
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all | [

"Susan Boyle"

Childhood living, it's easy to do
The things that you wanted, well I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you just slide through my hands
[Chorus]
And wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
[Verse 2]
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
[Chorus]
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
[Verse 3]
I know I've dreamt you a sin and a lie
And I have my freedom, but I don't have much time
Fate has been suffered and tears must be cried
So let's do some living after we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

] | Susan Boyle | Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Was blind but now I see
Through many dangers, toils and snares

And grace will lead me home
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright, shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me

Who I Was Born to Be | I Dreamed A Dream | 2009-11-20 | 4:09 | 33 | [
"Susan Boyle"
] | Susan Boyle | [Verse 1]
When I was a child
I could see the wind in the trees
And I heard a song in the breeze
It was there singing out my name
But I'm not a girl
I have known the taste of defeat
And I've finally grown to believe
It will all come around again
[Chorus]
Though I may not know the answers
I can finally say I'm free
And if the questions led me here, then
I am who I was born to be
[Verse 2]
And so here am I
Open arms and ready to stand
I've got the world in my hands
And it feels like my turn to fly
[Chorus]
Though I may not know the answers
I can finally say I'm free
And if the questions led me here, then
I am who I was born to be
When I was a child
There were flowers that
Bloomed in the night
Unafraid to take in the light
Unashamed to have braved the dark
[Chorus]
Though I may not know the answers
I can finally say I'm free (I am free)
And if the questions led me here, then
I am who I was born to be

Let me be your shelter

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're a rock star

It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ

"Smash Mouth"

It ain't no joke, I'd like to buy the world a toke
And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
Hey, I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe
This is a love attack, I know it went out but it's back
It's just like any fad, it retracts before impact
And just like fashion, it's a passion for the with-it and hip
If you got the goods, they'll come and buy it
Just to stay in the clique
[Chorus]
So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow, if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
[Verse 2]
Twenty-five years ago, they spoke out and they broke out
Of recession and oppression, and together they toked
And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
Just singin' and clappin', man, what the hell happened?
Then some were spellbound, some were hell-bound, some, they fell down
And some got back up and fought back against the meltdown
And their kids were hippie chicks, all hypocrites
Because fashion is smashing the true meaning of it
So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow, if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 3]
It ain't no joke when a mama's handkerchief is soaked
With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked
The bond is broke up, so choke up and focus on the close up
Mr. Wizard can't perform no godlike hocus-pocus
So don't sit back, kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked
News at ten, your neighborhood is under attack
Put away the crack before the crack puts you away
You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate
[Chorus]
So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow, if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned
You might as well be walkin' on the sun

You are your foe, your friend, you are the paparazzi
You are the tragedian
And the world's a craze (And the world's a faze)
And the end is near
So push rewind, just in time, thank anybody
You're gonna do it again
[Chorus]
The way that you walk
It's just the way that you talk, like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
[Bridge]
And when it comes, it moves so slow
Kinda like it's sayin', "I told you so"
Lookin' back before she goes
Tomorrow's gonna hurt
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the world's a stage (And the world's a faze)
And the end is near
So push rewind, just in time, thank anybody
It's just the way that you walk
[Chorus]
It's just the way that you talk, like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning comes | [

For a long, long time

Down in Chinatown
I told you, I told you, I told you but
You could not look around
I pay my, I pay my, I pay my money

I seen you, I seen you, I seen you standing
In it every time
Why can't we be friends

The color, the color, the color of your skin
Don't matter to me
As long as, as long as, long as we can
Live in harmony
I kind of, I kind of, I kind of, like
To be the president
And I could, and I could, and I could show you
How your money's spent

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

But did I know what I was talking about
I know you're working for the CIA

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the years start comin’ and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin’
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all-star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you’re a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin’ stars break the mold
It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You’re bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin
The water's gettin’ warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how 'bout yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all-star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star

Could I spare some change for gas?

Occupational skills, would you give me a clue
What to do 'cause my mind's in motion?

With big plans but there's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me
Or the way that I'm thinkin'?

Come on, come on, and tell me why you're starin'
Come on, come on, it must be what I'm wearin'
Come on, come on, and tell me
Why's it takin' so long for you to recognize and stop

Another day in the sun I'm havin' fun
Feel the heat sneakin' up on me
I take a look in the sky, a plane goes by
Is that the reason that I can't breathe?

Why these birds don't fly
It's hard for me to see and I believe

In the mornin' you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire 'til he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all sangin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street

Yeah, you go back, Jack, do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow
Yeah, you go back, Jack, do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gambling man

So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls
In the county jail

I was smoking with the boys upstairs

Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school

Soon they're gonna be in bloom
Up in Annandale
I can't stand her
Doing what she did before
Living like a gypsy queen
In a fairy tale
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico

Tried to warn you
About Chino and Daddy Gee
But I can't seem to get to you
Through the U.S. Mail
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
[Chorus]
She said oh no
Guadalajara won't do, now
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school

I never seen you lookin' so bad, my funky one
You tell me that your super fine mind has come undone
[Chorus]
Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you, my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it won't be there no more
Any major dude will tell you
Any major dude will tell you

Have you ever seen a squonk's tears? Well, look at mine
The people on the street have all seen better times

When the demon is at your door

I can tell you all I know, the where to go, the what to do
You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you

In the morning it won't be there no more

This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers, wild gamblers
That's all in the past
[Verse 2]
You call me a fool
You say it's a crazy scheme
This one's for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
I'll make it this time
I'm ready to cross that fine line
[Chorus]
Learn to work the saxophone
I, I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I, I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues (Deacon Blues)
My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations, sensations
That stagger the mind
[Verse 4]
I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home
[Chorus]
Learn to work the saxophone
I, I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I, I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues (Deacon Blues)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
This is the night
Of the expanding man
I take one last drag
As I approach the stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I'll be what I want to be
[Chorus]
I'll learn to work the saxophone
I, I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I, I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues (Deacon Blues)

On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
'Cause you've come to rescue me
[Pre-Chorus]
Fall, with you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath
I hope it lasts
[Chorus]
Oh, it seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Oh, it's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
[Verse 2]
I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care
When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy, it's your mission
And you won't stop 'til I'm there
Fall, sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom crash
You're all I have
[Chorus]
Oh, it seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Oh, it's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell

How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face
I hope it never goes away, yeah

On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading
Into your arms, so I can breathe

Oh, it seems like I can finally rest my head on something real

Oh, it's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself

When my parents went away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
[Chorus]
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Tryna find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me

All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
Oh, I love you now, 'cause now I realize
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
So if you're listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen

Tryna find a hand to hold

Living in a nightmare

Ah, ah-ah
Ooh-woah
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
[Verse 1]
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
"Happy Christmas," I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you," I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (Special, oh)
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Ooh-ooh
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave me away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (Special)

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
A man undercover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special

Somebody told me
"Boy, everything she wants, is everything she sees"

Some people work for fun
Girl, I just work for you
They told me marriage was a give and take
Well, you've shown me you can take, you've got some giving to do
And now you tell me that you're having my baby
I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to
But one step further, and my back will break
If my best isn't good enough
Then how can it be good enough for two?

Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face
Brush shoulders with the stars
Where strangers take you by the hand
And welcome you to wonderland
From beneath their panamas

All that's missing is the sea
But don't worry, you can suntan

Then kiss in Tropicana's heat
Watch the waves break on the bay
Oh, soft white sands, a blue lagoon
Cocktail time, a summer's tune
A whole night's holiday

Do-do-do-doh
Oh, whoa, yeah
Do-do-do-do-do-doh

Every day I hear a different story
People sayin' that you’re no good for me
Saw your lover with another
And she’s making a fool of you, oh
If you love me baby, you'd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I’m a baby, and I don't understand
[Pre-Chorus]
But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever!
‘Cause baby
You could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we’re together, and you do
[Chorus]
I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don't want nobody, baby
Part-time-love just brings me down
I don’t need your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you
Do do do
Whoa oh oh yeah
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can't escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys
You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool
To give you all that I do
I bet you someday, baby
Someone says the same to you
[Pre-Chorus]
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby
You could drag me to hell and back

I would lock you up but I could not bear to hear you
Screaming to be set free
I would chain you up if I'd thought you'd swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up but don't worry baby
You know I wouldn't hurt you unless you wanted me to
It's too late to stop, won't the heavens save me?
My daddy said, "The devil looks a lot like you"

Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
When the passion dies
It's just a matter of time before my heart is looking for a home

I get excited at the things that you do
And there's a place for us in a dirty movie
'Cause no one does it better than me and you

Have to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane, I still couldn't make it on time

Last night to get down? (Last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us?
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
"C'mon, honey, let's go make some noise" (I can't resist)
Time, it goes so fast (When you're having fun)
[Chorus]
It's just another manic Monday (Ooh-oh)
Wish it were Sunday (Ooh-oh)
'Cause that's my fun day (Ooh-oh)
My I-don't-have-to-run day (Ooh)

Walk Like an Egyptian | Different Light | 1985-06-06 | 3:24 | 35 | [
"The Bangles"
] | The Bangles | [Verse 1: Vicki Peterson; (All)]
All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick (Oh-way-oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (Oh-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
[Pre-Chorus: Vicki Peterson; (All)]
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Way-oh-way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)
[Chorus: Vicki Peterson]
Walk like an Egyptian
[Verse 2: Michael Steele; (All)]
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around, and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (Oh-way-oh)
You drop your drink, then they bring you more
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (Oh-way-oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
All the kids in the marketplace say
(Way-oh-way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)
[Chorus: Michael Steele]
Walk like an Egyptian
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3: Susanna Hoffs; (All)]
Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know (Oh-way-oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (Oh-way-oh)
They spin the clubs, cruise down the block
All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (Oh-way-oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
[Pre-Chorus: Susanna Hoffs; (All)]
All the cops in the donut shop say
(Way-oh-way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)

Hazy Shade of Winter | We Are The '80s | 1984 | 2:46 | 38 | [

Time, time, time
See what's become of me
[Verse 1: All, Debbie Peterson & Michael Steele]
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
[Chorus: All]
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
[Verse 2: All, Susanna Hoffs & Vicki Peterson]
Hear the Salvation Army band
Down by the riverside
It's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry a cup in your hand
[Chorus: All]
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang onto your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
[Chorus: All]
Look around
Grass is high
Fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life
[Bridge: All]
Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me?
[Outro: Susanna Hoffs, Susanna Hoffs, Debbie Peterson & Michael Steele, All]
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown

If She Knew What She Wants | Different Light | 1985-06-06 | 3:48 | 16 | [

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
[Verse 1]
I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next I'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain
If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her (giving it to her)
[Bridge]
Some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line when they could fly
[Verse 2]
No sense thinking I could rehabilitate her
When she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine
[Chorus]
If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He'd be givin' it too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
(He'd be giving it to her)
(He could give her that too)
(But he can't see through her)
Ooooooh, giving it to her

Hero Takes a Fall - Single Remix | All Over the Place (Expanded Edition) | 1984 | 2:54 | 29 | [
"The Bangles"
] | The Bangles | The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feeling sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgement day
It wasn't me who said
There'll be a price to pay
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly your sycophants are chanting
Slogans at your door
We're seeing you through now
I saw it all before
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
Emotion is a virtue
For you it is the ole fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne
Drinking and thinking
She'll return your call
Every story's got an ending
Look out ! Here it comes, here it comes
And I won't feel bad at all

Probably shoulda went and got a feature, but I didn't

Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring

Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears

My God, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And every day I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
But I don't really like my flow, no

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say
[Chorus]
Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
I say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

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

Oh, this has gotta be the good life

Yeah

Hopelessly, I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly, I feel like the window closes, oh, so quick
Hopelessly, I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cause hopelessly, the hope is we have
So much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life

Are we lovers or only just friends?
Come tomorrow will I be lonely again?
When you see me is it love in your eyes?
What you're feelin' deep down inside?

Do you think about me (Think about me)
When I'm far away?
Do you dream about me? (Dream about me)
Can I find the way
To make you want me (Make you want me)
The way that I want you?
'Cause I think I love you (Think I love you)
Could you love me too?

A problem that we've got to face
So put your trust in me, lover

We all have fears

I've been stood up and messed around and taken for a fool
But next time 'round, I'm gonna change the rules
And I don't care about things that people say
It's you I think about each and every day
It's much too late for you to change your ways
I can't keep holding on expecting you to stay
When you're all alone and if you're feeling down
Call me, I'll be around
[Chorus]
Whenever you need somebody
I'll bring my love to you
You don't have to say you love me
I just wanna be with you
[Verse 2]
Lost inside your love is where I wanna be
I'm just asking you to spend some time with me
Time and time you say you wanna be free
And you can have some fun, that's okay with me
You will never know just how good I feel
The joy inside of me makes me feel so real
When you're all alone and if you're feeling down
Call me, and I'll be around
Whenever you need somebody
I'll bring my love to you
You don't have to say you love me
I just wanna be with you
I'll bring my love to you
I just wanna be with you
It's much too late for you to change your ways

She's taken my time
Convinced me she's fine
But when she leaves
I'm not so sure
It's always the same
She's playing her game
And when she goes
I feel to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
Why won't she say she needs me?
I know she's not as strong as she seems
[Chorus]
Why don't I see her cry for help?
Why don't I feel her cry for help?
Why don't I hear her cry for help?
[Verse 2]
I wandered around
The streets of this town
Trying to find sense in it all
The rain on my face
It covers the trace
Of all the tears
I've had to waste
Why must we hide emotions?
Why must we never break down and cry?
[Chorus]
All that I need is to cry for help
Somebody please hear me cry for help
All I can do is cry for help
No need to feel ashamed
Release the pain
Cry for help
Cry for help
Is all I need
All I need
Is a cry for help
Cry for help
Is all I need
All I need
Is a cry for help
[Pre-Chorus]
Why must we hide emotions?
Why can't we ever break down and cry?

All that I need is to cry for help
I will be there when you cry for help
Why don't I hear her cry for help?
All that I need is to cry for help
Somebody please hear me cry for help
All I can do is cry for help
All that I need is to cry for help
I will be there when you cry for help
Is it so hard to cry for help?
(Cry for help is all I need)
No need to feel ashamed
(All I need is a cry for help)
Come on and release the pain
(Cry for help is all I need)
Put your trust in me
(All I need is a cry for help)
My love is gonna set you free | [

Don't say goodbye, girl (Goodbye, girl)
Don't make me cry, girl (Cry, girl)
'Cause I love you (Love you)

Used to have such fun
Used to have good times
But now those days are gone
Used to have it all
Used to get on fine
But things just went wrong
Used to be in love
Thought we had it made
But everything has changed
We just grew apart
No one is to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Time has made us strangers
Maybe we can't go on
But if love can take the changes
[Chorus]
Don't say goodbye, girl, goodbye, girl
Don't throw it all away
'Cause I love you
Yes I do (Yes I do)
Don't make me cry, girl, you're my girl
Don't say goodbye to me
'Cause I love you
Yes I do (Yes I do)
We could go along
Saying things were fine
But we're just fooling ourselves
Maybe we should
Talk it out right now
And put things on the line
Everyone in love
Goes through times like these
It's just part of the game
I remember
I used to call your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Things don't have to be this way
Love is the answer now
Maybe we could start again today

Don't say goodbye, girl, goodbye, girl

I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up
And gave me dignity
Somehow, you needed me
[Chorus]
You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high
Upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me
[Bridge]
And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true!
I needed you
And you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave? I'd be a fool
'Cause I finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend
[Chorus]
You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high
Upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me

Who knows just what to say and do
Still, I fumble and fall, run into the wall
'Cause when it comes to you

A fire out of control, just another fool
You touch me and I'm weak, I'm a feather in the wind

With you, I'm just another woman
Just another woman in love

So pardon me if I should stare
And tremble like a child
That wanting me look all over your face
Is driving me wild
I'm just what you make me, can't wait till you take me
And set all my feelings free
I know that you can, so come be my man
Tonight I want to be
Just another woman in love, a kid out of school
A fire out of control, just another fool
You touch me and I'm weak, I'm a feather in the wind

Just another woman in love
Just another woman in love, a kid out of school

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
[Verse 2]
When I was young my heart was young then, too
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win
[Chorus]
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
[Verse 3]
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
[Chorus]
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you | [

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
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, I'm unstoppable today | [

Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anythin', when will I learn?
I push it down, I push it down
I'm the one for a good time call
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, I feel the love
[Pre-Chorus]
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw 'em back 'til I lose count
[Chorus]
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
[Post-Chorus]
But I'm holdin' on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until mornin' light
'Cause I'm just holdin' on for tonight
Help me, I'm holdin' on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until mornin' light
'Cause I'm just holdin' on for tonight, on for tonight
Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw 'em back 'til I lose count
[Chorus]
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
[Post-Chorus]
But I'm holdin' on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until mornin' light
'Cause I'm just holdin' on for tonight
Help me, I'm holdin' on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until mornin' light
'Cause I'm just holdin' on for tonight, on for tonight
[Outro]
On for tonight
'Cause I'm just holdin' on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holdin' on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holdin' on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holdin' on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holdin' on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight | [

Up, I won't give up, I won't give up
I won't give up, I won't give up
[Verse 1]
And another one bites the dust
Oh, why can I not conquer love?
And I might have thought that we were one
Wanted to fight this war without weapons
And I wanted it, I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
Yeah, let's be clear, I'll trust no one
[Pre-Chorus]
You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace
[Chorus]
Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade, it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
I've got an elastic heart
Yeah, I've got an elastic heart
[Verse 2]
And I will stay up through the night
Yeah, let's be clear, won't close my eyes
And I know that I can survive
I'll walk through fire to save my life
And I want it, I want my life so bad
I'm doin' everythin' I can
And another one bites the dust
It's hard to lose a chosen one
[Pre-Chorus]
You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace
[Chorus]
Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade, it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade, it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart (Woah, woah)
But your blade, it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard (Woah, woah)
Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart (Woah, woah)
'Cause I've got an elastic heart (Woah, woah)
