Gnarls Barkley Album

I, I, I,
I don't know what matters to you at this moment
But that's all that matters to me.
How are you? (how are you?)
Knock on wood.
Well I'm not doing so good.

(I bet you're probably good in ___(until),
although you're worth it I'm still not well)

And I don't understand how I'm so understanding,
I guess that is all I can be.
How are you? (how are you?)
I think I can help.
But I can't help myself.

(should I be happy you need my help?
I usually just talk to myself)

Oh can't you see?
Oh can't you see?
If I help somebody baby there's mercy for me.

Iiiii charitate. (charity)

Don't want to bother you baby but I'm bleeding too,
Are you needing me like I'm needing you?
Even my shadow leaves me all alone at night,
'cause I need to start to take my own advice.

La la la la la, la la la laaa
La la la la la, la la la laaa

Oh can't you see?
Oh can't you see?
Somebody's a liar,
whoever said freedom was free.

Iiiii charitate. (charity)

Got some bad news
This morning
Which en turn made my day
When this someone
Spoke i listen
Ohh a sudden has less
And less to say
Oooo how could this be
All this time
I lived by carrsioly
Who's gonna save my soul now
Who's gonna save my soul now
How will story
Ever be told now
How will story be told now

Made me fell like somebody
Like somebody else
Although he was imatied often
Feel like i would be myself
It a shame
That someone elses song
Was totally
And completely depended on

Who's ganna sang my song now
Who's ganna sang my song now
I wonder
If i will live grow old now
Getting high
Cause i feel so lone now
I may be just a little selfish
All i have is the memory
Yet i never start to wonder
Is it possible
You hurt worse than me
still my heart turns to greed
cause what about what i need
An aahh
Who's gon save my soul now
Whooo's gon save my soul now
Oo i know
I'm out of control now
Tired enough
To lay my own soul down

I've seen it with my own eyes,
how we're getting otherwise,
without the luxury of leaving. (leaving)

The touch and feeling of free,
is untangible technically,
is something you got to believe in. (believe in)

Connect the cause and effect,
one foot in front of the next,
this is the start of a journey. (journey)

And my mind is already gone,
and though there are other unknowns,
somehow this doesn't concern me. (concern me)

And you can stand right there if you want,

but I'm going on.
And I'm prepared to go it alone.
I'm going on.
To a place in the sun that's nice and warm.
I'm going on.

And I'm sure they'll have a place for you too.
Ohhh hooo oooo

Anyone that needs what they want,
and doesn't want what they need,
I want nothing to do with. (to do with)

And to do what I want
and to do what I please,
is first on my to-do list. (to-do list)

But every once in a while,
I think about her smile,
one of the few things I do miss. (do miss)

But baby I've got to go,
baby I've got to know,
baby I've got to prove it. (prove it)

And I'll see you when you get there,

but I'm going on.
And I'm prepared to go it alone.
I'm going on.
May my love lift you up to the place you belong.
I'm going on.

And I promise I'll be waiting for you.

Freedome is () me,
Still I try I never know what to do.
Don't follow me..

Yeah It's Still The Same
Can't you feel the pain?
When the needle hits the vain
Ain't nuthin' like the real thing
I've seen it once before, and oh it's something else, Good God

Cool breeze come on in
Sunshine come on down
These are the teardrops of a clown
The circus is coming to town
All that I'm saying is that I'm more scared of myself

You Better
Move
I Said
Move

Chorus

Run Away!
Run Away!
Run Children!
Run For Your Life!

Run Away!
Run Away!
Run Children!
Here It Comes, Said Run! Alright

V2

Yeah I'm On The run
See where I'm coming from
When you see me come and run
Before You See what I'm running from
No Time for question asking, time is passing by. Alright!

You can't win child,
We've all tried too
You've been lied too
It's already inside you
You either run right now, or you best get ready to die

You Better
Move
I Said
Move

Chorus

Run Away!
Run Away!
Run Children!
Run For Your Life!

Run Away!
Run Away!
Run Children!
Here It Comes, Said Run!

Hurry little children
Run this way
I have got a beast at bay

Bridge

Promise me when the chance comes
You'll run as fast as you can
Don't you dare look backwards
Run as fast as you can

Chorus

Run Away!
Run Away!
Run Children!
Run For Your Life!

Run Away!
Run Away!
Run Children!
Here It Comes, Said Run!

I've got a secret
Something I thought maybe I could do
But I can't now, can I?
Lucky, lucky you

Did you know I could be,
or would be,
Killer
If suddenly I should be
or would be,
Killer

Hurt, hurt people
This is all the way now
Oh I've been entered by evil
So someone best love me right now

Because I could be,
or would be,
Killer
Suddenly I should be,
or would be,
Killer

Eyes filled with fire
Wish I was a better liar
It hurts when it's happening, and so I cried

The winter is even colder
I guess that I could have told ya
That I am safe and warm from the hell inside

Come on!
Take me!
Come on!
Make me!
I am an open book

The drum beat of my heart is tribal
Oh, the sweet sound of survival
Shall serenade this horse forever more

The sun would have to be frozen
For anything out there opposin'
That should be left in it's own blood on the jungle floor

Come on!
Fight me!
Come on!
Strike me!
I am an open book, an open book

When I sing a song of peace
It soothes a savage beast
Even it understands that I understand, at least

So you mortals must keep this in mind
This is the way I'm designed
And I am no power so I'll only die one time.

Come on!
Kill me!
You heard!
Kill me!
I am an open book, an open book

Come on!
Come on!

I don't have any friends at all
'cuase I have nothing in common with ya'll.
So who's gonna catch me if I fall?
My backs always against the wall.
I don't have anything to say.
I want everything to go my way.
Shut up mom, it is not okay.
I'm alone almost everyday.

But it's cool, (it's cool)
It could be better, (could be better)
I don't care (I don't care)
Whatever. (whatever)
Hold up my man

La la la la la la la
What
ever
La la la la la la la
What
ever
La la la la la la la
What
ever
La la la la la la la
What

It's cool being the only one
but it's lonely
I could've fallen in love a thousand time before
if only someone had known me.
They say there's someone for everyone
oh but the work will never be done.
When all you need is to be met half way but nobody tries,

Don't be surprised.
Don't be surprised.
Don't be surprised.

There are hills and mountains between us.
Always something to get over.
Needless to say it's a wonderful day,
I just noticed how nice it was to know ya.
Oh but be ready to sacrifice.
If you love 'em you should tell 'em twice.
Because when everything that's alive ultimately dies, oh lord,

Don't be surprised.
Don't be surprised.
Don't be surprised.

Somebody's watching.
Maybe you want 'em to see you.
But with your regrets and secret you don't really want them to be you.
Well you can make believe I'm blind.
And from now I'll be just fine.
But when the child grows up to have more than just your eyes,

Don't be surprised.
Don't be surprised.
Don't be surprised.

Now the ending to every story is most enchanting.
Now whether it's heaven or hell I wear it well.
Please forgive me for rambling.
I just wanted y'all
to know that I don't know at all.
So when that big ol' smile ends up being just a disguise,

Don't be surprised.
Don't be surprised.
Oh lord
Don't be surprised.
Oh lord
Don't be surprised.
I said don't be don't be surprised.
There's nothing left in here that's surprising baby prising baby.

This could be one of those days
that we must go our separate ways.
Scared for you to be out of my sight,
because you never know, you might.

And I carry this
it's heavy.
And I miss you
already..

You were perfect babe.

My time will come
yours too.
I'll gladly go before you.

I hope you live forever,
or maybe we can go together.

It would be perfect baby.

And I carry this,
it's heavy.
And I miss you
already..

Up, up and away she goes.
Now I know that I know she knows.
Could one live a lie?
Well neither will I.
If she still try to try,
but remarkably my son,
all my work is done.
Wouldn't surprise me to see her go.
She would like me to know she knows.
And I'm almost sure,
I (want) absolutely nothing before.
Now I'm so, so much more.
The one word that describes the past,
I'm pretty much posessed.
We are the reason I supposes,
and we've spoken so I know she knows.
(there was one sacrifice)
(when you live more than twice)
or what I bet it's nice.
Gonna be just like you.
I'm giving my life too.
No other woman would wear your clothes,
and it goes without saying she knows.
She knows.

Oooohhhhhhh
mmmmm ooohhhhhh

Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh
(doooooooooooooooooo)

I love Mary. (i love Mary)
Blind Mary marry me. (marry me)
I love Mary. (la la la)

She has never seen the sunshine, (sunshiiiiiine)
yet she's getting along just fine. (fiiiiine)
She's not staying, she's just passing through. (doo oot doot doo ooo ooot)
Hey do you mind if I follow you?

Yooooouuuuuu
(doooooooooooo)

I love Mary. (i love Mary)
Blind Mary marry me. (marry me)
I love Mary. (la la la)

Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh

I heard a voice say catch me if you can.
Before you know it I was holding her hand.
It's harder to imagine I understand.
How she knows exactly who I am.

Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh
(dooooooooooooooooooo)

I love Mary. (i love Mary)
Blind Mary marry me. (marry me)
I love Mary. (la la la)

Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh

She's my friend she doesn't judge me.
She has no idea I'm ugly.
So I have absolutely nothing to hide,
because I'm so much prettier inside.

Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh
(dooooooooooooooooo)

I love Mary. (i love Mary)
Blind Mary marry me. (marry me)
I love Mary. (la la la)
Blind Mary marry me.

Now my neighbor likes where I stay,
but doesn't know the price that I pay.
My neighbor,
my neighbor.
My neighbor,
want's what he sees.
My neighbor,
my neighbor.
My neighbor,
thinks he wants to be me,
but he'll never be.

From out my window,
seems just fine,
But in his mind
(again) his world is far from kind.
So I invited him over,
Only to make a new friend,
but once I got to know ya,
wish i never let you in.

Now my neighbor likes my clothes,
but hadn't seen me with my scars exposed.
My neighbor,
my neighbor.
My neighbor,
Oh dissatisfied.
My neighbor,
my neighbor's
behavior,
Is unjustified
I'm sick and tired.

I don't know if he lives all alone,
but if you're scared ()
()
()
()()()() insane
I guess he understood me
He never came back again.

Now my neighbor likes my car,
but no matter where you go there you are.

Now I can sing you the story line,
and if you like my sotry fine,
but ain't none of the glory mine.

See my life was a lonely one,
and I was still mama's only son,
with no idea what I'm going to become.

And I didn't have long to know,
that you dont' have to be grown to go.
I could've died so long before.

Then I finally saw the sign,
and I made it on down the line,
one step at a time.

I feel better
I can smile at it now
I feel better
Ohhhhh
Better
and even a little is still better
Oh have mercy on me.

Oh it's probably plain to see,
that i got a whole lot of pain in me,
and it will always remain in me.

So cold it's a crying shame.
Yet here I am trying to gain,
'cause I refuse to die in vein.

The circumstances put soul in me,
and there ain't no holding me.
I've got a heart made of gold in me.

Can you believe this is where I've been?
And when adversity calls again,
I'll deal with it then,

I feel better
I can laugh at it now
I feel better
Ohhhh Better
and even a little is still better
Ohhhh have mercy on meee

Ah aaaaaahhh yeeeeeaaaaahhhh
mmmmmmmmm
ooooohhhhhh
ooohhhh

I said everything's fine,
you can take your time.
What would be on your mind,
if you knew you was dieing?
I would wanna just feel this one more time.

I said everything's fine,
tkae your time!
What would be on your mind,
if you knew you was dieing?
I would wanna just feel this one more time.

I want to thank you morning sun.
I want to thank you lonely girl,
now I know I'm not the only one.

I want to thank you friendly ghost,
when all the cards were close,
it seems like you cared the most.

I want to thank you mom and dad,
for hurting me so bad,
but you're the best I ever had.
I want to thank you.
