Oooh! I got a call today, from my job up the block
It was my boss to say, you know we like you a lot
But we dont need you J, you daydream too much,

You gotta live it out.
You gotta do it baby.
You gotta do what youre gonna do.
Come on, somebodys gotta hear me

Woo. It's Saturday. I'm bout to go out. Oh, I cannot wait.
(I'm getting ready)
Just got me a new outfit. So fresh so clean
(I'm getting ready)

Jump in the shower.
Grab my towel and put my V. secrets on.
(I'm getting ready)
And brush my teeth cuz I'm almost ready to roll.
(I'm getting ready)

[Hook]
I know I should focus on my school work.
I shouldn't feel the way I do, but I do.
My friends all said that he would be there.
And plus I look real cute.
(I'm getting ready)

I heard the clubs in Atlanta are the sickest...the sickest.
(I'm getting ready)
And now it's time for me to pay a visit...a visit.
I know I won't wake up in time for Sunday
To be in Sunday school...in Sunday school.
I really hope this boy is cool.

[Chorus]
It's time I fought for love.
I know he'll be there waiting.
Four hundred girls in the room
And I am all he sees.

Enough debating.
I'm sick and tired of waiting.
I grab my petticoat and my ID.
My friends are waiting
Eagerly anticipating.
Gotta get there before midnight cuz it's free.

My heart starts beating fast as we pull closer.
No turning back girl now you've gotta know.
No turning back right now I've gotta know.
(Know, oh, oh)

Well, girl there he is
There's your boy
Can't you see
I bet he's looking around tryna find you
I can't believe I'm here tonight
But wrong or right
I refuse to act scared and ignore you
My heart starts beating fast as you walk over
(oooooooo)
You got me feeling tipsy but I'm sober
(sober...er...er)

[Chorus]
It's time I fought for love.
I know he'll be there waiting.
Four hundred girls in the room
And I am all he sees.

It's time I fought for love.
I know he'll be there waiting .
Four hundred girls in the room
And I am all he needs.

[Phone rings 2x]
Hello?
Hey.
Girl. I just woke up
Girl, naw, I had one of the craziest dreams.
I know he's gonna be there. (I know I should focus on my school work)
Scandalous? Girl I am not scandalous. (I shouldn't feel the way I do, but I do)
I have a test Tuesday and I cannot miss church tomorrow.
(My friends all said that he would be there.)
No, I told everybody I was coming and I'm gon' be there. (And plus I look real cute)
Listen. Girl, bye. I love you. I will talk to you later. (I know I won't wake up in time for Sunday)
Have a good one. Be careful. (To be in Sunday school'in Sunday school)
Bye. Girl, bye. Call me tomorrow after church.
(I really hope this boy is cool)

View a sky without any blue.
Breakfast on incandescent, built to chew.
Dream to find another world
Where a cyborg can love and a cyber girl is still a queen.

[Chorus]
Where there's no law,
Tying my heart from the start.
Where there's no war, if my dreams run a little wild,
But if there's no call from joy control
Warning me against this disease in my heart.
Freein' my soul.

Population 10 zillion and six
Where signs say, "Welcome to the Star Core Metropolis."
Me, I live on the wired side of town,
Reaching and searching for a space called paradise found.

[Chorus]
Where there's no law
Tying my heart from the start.
Where there's no war, if my dreams run a little wild,
But if there's no call from joy control
Warning me against this disease in my heart.
Freein' my soul.

And it's a common thought
that wired folk can be sold and bought.
That we have no feelings no memories or minds,
That we're bionic strumpets only worth a dime.
To some it's a surprise when I smile.
And when I hold your hand, they say,
"How can a wired thing understand?
Love is too deep; it's too wide to feel
when your soul is a button
and your foot glows in heels."
Program. Program. Reprogram.
One nation, under a microchip.
Neon slaves, electric savages,
open your hearts. Open your eyes. Your chariot will arrive.

Hey, Anthony Greendown from sector nine. (From sector nine)
With beautiful eyes
I've served you now about thirty-eight times.
Thirty-eight times I've looked in those eyes.
You see me laughing, the love when I hold your hand,
I wanna take you, take you with me to another land.

[Chorus]
Where there's no law
Tying my heart from the start.
Where there's no war, if my dreams run a little wild,
But if there's no call from joy control.
No call.
Please go with me.
Oh come with me.
I need you.
Let's leave. Let's leave.
Come. Come. Come.

As I search for a home
And a place to belong
I find it hard to fit in
I meet lots of pretty girls
In this fantasy world
Waiting for their turn to shine
So I try to be Cindi, in hopes that they'd notice
But I wasn't their cup of tea
Its so lonely, when I'm only being me

Who's that girl in the mirror
With hair like a rock star
She wants to dance but she has cold feet
Her confidence is low
So much talent but who'll know
When she's afraid to follow her dreams
So I talk to her heart and made up her mind
That I gotta except her for me
But its so lonely, when I'm only being me

Ooooooohhh
You gotta be you and I've gotta be me
Only, only be me

Day and night, I find myself
Trying to figure out a way to make this work somehow
But my emotions always get in the way
Of what I really mean to say
And it only makes things worse, somehow

It's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are
Oh it's, it's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are

It's like every time I talk to you
Things fall right apart again
'Cause I start feeling that emptiness
That lies deep in my heart
And this telephone
It won't change that im still alone
And I wish that things could go
Back to how they used to be before

It's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are
Oh it's, it's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are

Oh even a walk through the park is not the same
When you're not there
Even the picture frame it feels my pain
And who's to blame? All I know,

It's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are
Oh it's, it's not fair (it's not fair)
Oooh I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are

Ooh la la la la la
la la la la la lala
la la la la la lala la la
Ooh la la la la oooh
la la la la lala
la la la la la lala la oooh

Ooh It's, it's not fair
I wanna be there where you are
Oh it's, it's not fair
I wanna be there where you are

I need to talk to you
Let's make it last (oh let's make it last)
Embrace what we talked about
Don't wanna look back
And see what I've been without
Now I've made up my mind
To make this work with you
Cause you and no one else,
fills me like you do
See my father knew best
when he said a man should fight for me
And baby I'm gonna do
whatever feels right for me
You hey you you you
you you you you

Darling I know it's hard
with this long distance and all
But i'm tired of writing you with this pen
Why can't we talk on the phone again?
Why can't we go back to how things used to be?
You would look in my eyes
and tell me that you love me
see my Mama knew best
when she said that you were right for me
And I'm gonna do whatever feels right for me
darling I'll fight for you, you
I'll fight for you and you and only you you

Forget climbing mountains,
I'm flying home to you
Girl there just ain't no way
There just ain't no way,
I can't live without you
Cause it's all about you you you

I don't want to live without you darling
I will fight for you you you
you you you you...
hey you you you...
