(mmm... yeah Hey! All right now! ooh)
Ain't I got you on my back foot
And you know I got you really good
Cuz there's something deep inside of me
I've got to be

And if you find it hard to follow me
If I loose you in my jet stream
Than you only got to raise your eyes
And see me fly

Don't tell me that I won't
I can
Don't tell me that I'm not
I am
Don't tell me that my master plan
Ain't coming true (yeah!)

Don't tell me that I won't
I will
Don't tell me how to think
I feel
Don't tell me cause I know what's real
What I can do

Something that you don't see every day
A little girl who found her way
Through a world that's decide to break
All of your dreams

And if there's one thing I will say to you
It's that there is nothing that you can't do
Cuz it's all about your attitude
Don't let them get to you

Don't tell me that I won't
I can
Don't tell me that I'm not
I am
Don't tell me that my master plan
Ain't coming true

Don't tell me that I won't
I will
Don't tell me how to think
I feel
Don't tell me cause I know what's real
What I can do

(Oh yeah! Yeah! ooh ooh (giggle) mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm Hey! ooh yeah!)

And we are singing in our own voice
We can make that choice to be free (to be free now!)

And we are singing it our own voice
We can make that choice to be free (to be free now!)

Music hey L.U.V. I love it (yeah hey eh yeah!)
Music, now, now, now eh L.U.V. baby I love it (eh) yes I do now

Don't tell me that I won't
I can
Don't tell me that I'm not
I am
Don't tell me that my master plan
Ain't coming true
Don't tell me that I won't
I will
Don't tell me how to think
I fell
Don't tell me cause I know what's real
What I can do

Free me (x16)

. . .


Oh it's a shame
We used to be so tight
Tell me what's you're game?
Since you left me outside
I'm gonna change my track
Go anywhere and back, oh oh
When I think about it,
I'm better off without it

No gain, only pain
My heart can't take the strain
I can't sit on the shelf
I'll give my love to someone else

(Chorus)
If you see me walking by
Hand in hand with another guy
Know that it's true (ooh ooh)
It could have been you
If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight baby out of mind
Thats what you do (ooh ooh)
Could have been you (ooh ooh)

Huh huh huh huh
Huh huh huh (oooh ooh oh)
Huh huh huh huh
Huh huh

Ain't gonna wait, for what you promised me
Like a train, delayed
Forever so it seems
I'm gonna change my track
Go anywhere and back ooh ooh
When I think about it
I'm better off without it

No gain, only pain
My heart can't take the strain
I can't sit on the shelf
I'll give my love to someone else

(Chorus)
If you see me walking by
Hand in hand with another guy
Know that it's true (ooh ooh)
It could have been you
If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight baby out of mind
Thats what you do (ooh ooh)
Could have been you (ooh ooh)

You could of me my first, my last, forever
You had it in your hands, my heart, my treasure
No promises in the memories
So sad to know this song was meant for you and me
What could have been?
Ooooh uh-oh!

(Chorus)
If you see me walking by
Hand in hand with another guy
Know that it's true (ooh ooh)
It could have been you
If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight baby out of mind
Thats what you do (ooh ooh)
Could have been you (ooh ooh)

. . .


I see you and I know you see me
We walk by
Our paths never meet
Seems so clear I’m the invisible freak
You keep your side of the street

Sister not alone face in the crowd
See me laughing but I’m shopping around
Oh my heart is what you wanted to be
All these lies your giving me

Are you so different to me
I know you cant possible be
Were two in a million
But you could be someone that makes my perception complete

We go by our separate lives
Living out our separate lies
Only we got the space in-between
How beautiful it could be
How beautiful it could be

Yeh yeh yeh yeh
Yeh yeh yeh yeh

Oh so busy trying to get everyday
Don’t even see the people crossing the edge
Lie lie lie after……………….
And baby we just turn our heads

Now are you so different to me
I know you cant possible be
Were two in a million
But you could be someone that makes my perception complete

We go by our parallel lives
Living out our separate lies
Only we got the space in-between
How beautiful it could be
How beautiful it could be

Yeh yeh yeh yeh
Yeh yeh yeh yeh

Just imagine if our lives came together
For a moment it’ll work and its no stranger
Make a difference ever together
No more distance between all these parallel lines

No more distance between all these parallel lines
No more persistence between all these parallel lines

Now are you so different to me
I know you cant possible be
Were two in a million
But you could be someone that makes my perception complete

We go by our parallel lives
Living out our separate lies
Only we got the space in-between
How beautiful it could be
How beautiful it could be

. . .


My, oh my, how you're lookin' so fine
And my lips can't say it
In my mind these lips are all over you
Sugar sweet and I'm feeling the heat like melting chocolate.
There's some things that a lady just cannot do

Why, oh why, am I feeling like I'mOn the edge of something
When I know that the door is already closed
And why are you still here when I told you it would come to nothing
You're a naughty boy
Seems like you just won't be told!

(and i just cnt let yah) do that thing

They say time waits for no man and neither, does this woman
I've been trying hard to understand, what it be
Many moons have come and gone, and this little heart's still holding on
To what could be, maybe, should be baby, crazy is all it's making me

I've been holding on, for way too long
It can't go on

You've got four and twenty hours, just one day to prove to me
That your love has got the power, make me believe
You'll take me where I wanna be, four and twenty hours
And that's me

They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but hey
They got nothing on the patience that is,taking me away
See the sands of the hourglass,are slipping through your hands
Every grain has got to hurt you, takes you further from your chance

I've been holding on, for way too long
It can't go on
Either you're in or you're out

You've got four and twenty hours, just one day to prove to me
That your love has got the power, make me believe
You'll take me where I wanna be, four and twenty hours, whooah
And that's me

See every day
I, I walk out of my front door
And I'll be wishing and hoping
That today is the day
That you're gonna, you're gonna smile in front of my face and tell me something
Something worth talking about
Tell me that you love me
Tell me you're gonna be a man
And show up for me baby

You got one day, yah I'm gonna give you twenty four hours baby
That's all you should need
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Four and twenty hours)
Should be enough for you love
(Four and twenty hours)
To make me believe
(Four and twenty hours)
Make me believe that you're the man for me baby
(Four and twenty hours)
Oooh, yeah
I gotta believe you baby,
I'm gonna need more than flowers honey child
(Four and twenty hours)
It's more than talk I'm telling you
(Four and twenty hours)
Four and twenty hours
(Four and twenty hours)
should be
It should be more than enough for you

. . .


Hmmmm
Summertime, and Wendy
I ain't seen for a while
Said she been working
Trying to catch her own style
Way that I got her back
My kettle's always boiling

Snow is falling, oooh
And it's truely freezing
Danny ain't been calling
He's got a family
But outside my door, still says
Welcome on the floor

(Chorus)
Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby, make me your baby girl
Cause one day someone will snatch me for their lady yeah yay

The birds and the blooms now
But no letters come from Lucie uh
She's deep in a brook, trying to bring down the crooks
But she's on my mind profusely
My sister Lucie

The birds and the bees yeah
(Oooh ooh oh)
They do their thing in trees
While we're hustling, bustling
Playing the game of life
We're looking in a dark light
For the answers to the question why

(Chorus)
Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby, make me your baby girl
Cause one day someone will snatch me for their lady wtahc me now
I could never be your number two
Cause when you're not there I'm sure someone's loving you
And I can't have it uh, I won't have it now
Cause one day someone will snatch me for their lady uh huh

(Ooooh)
You know sometimes uh
See I find myself confused
Oooh it's always why this and uh uh uh
Why that?
Hmmm now, see have you ever heard the saying
It's just a game
Then why oh why
Why can't I start playing?

(Chorus)
Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby, baby, ooooh uh uh
I could never be your number two
Cause when you're not there I'm sure someone's loving you
And I can't have it uh, I won't have it now
Oooh oh nah

Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Oooh ooh ooh ooh uh huh uh huh
I could never be your, your number two
Cause someone else will come and start loving you
And I can't have it, I told you I won't have it now mmmm
Life is just a big ol' game to me
Hmmmmm

To pick u up
Pick u up

And you sleep
So great at night
While the lovers cry

Of smoke
And water
Coming up

I don't wanna take your shine boy
It's okay if you wanna take mine
Take it from me, baby
Extract the soul from human kind
A shame...
Down the line
Nothing left to lie

So many days
I might have wasted
Staring at the picture fading
Get the camera off my face now
Time's running out
Stop pushing me down

You're incredible
You shock me daily
Unforgettable
Now get some help
Can I mention you sent me
To your hell

Worry how we will proceed this
But really, should I care?
Let me know, baby
See, I can feel your eyes are shifting
Trying to push me left to right
Make up your mind
Can't you see the light?

So many days
I might have wasted
Staring at the picture fading
Get the camera off my face now
Time's running out
Stop pushing me down

You're incredible
You shock me daily
Unforgettable
Now get some help
Can I mention you sent me
To your hell

You shock me daily

Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don't care
You've got the love I need
To see me through

Sometimes it seems that
The going is just too rough
And things go wrong
No matter what I do
Now and then it feels
Like life is just too much
You've got the love
I need to see me through

When food is gone
You are my daily meal
When friends are gone I know
My saviour's love is real
Your love is real

Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don't care
You've got the love I need
To see me through

Every once in a while
I say Lord I can't go on
Every once in a while
I get to feeling blue
Every once in a while
It seems like I am all alone
But you got the love
I need to see me through

Occasionally
My thoughts are brave and friends are few
Occasionally
I cry out Lord what must I do
Occasionally
I call up Master make me new
You've got the love
I need to see me through
See me through

Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don't care
But you've got the love I need
To see me through

Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don't care
But you've got the love I need
To see me through

Time after time I say
Oh Lord what's the use
Time after time I say
This just won't, this just won't do

You got the love
Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don't care
But you've got the love I need
To see me through

You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
Got the love, got the love
You got the love
You got the love
I need to see me through

. . .


Oooh oh oh oh ooh oh
Oooh yeah yeah
Alright now!
Yeah

One of these days and it won't be long
You're gonna look for me, but I'll be gone
I believe, yeah
Say I believe yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh baby, you're trying to make a fool outta me!

And since you've been going round lately
With your head so high
I think I'm gonna have to
Use my right
Cause I believe, yes I do now
I believe, yeah yeah yeah
I believe it baby
I believe you've been trying to make a fool outta me

Yeah alright now!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
One night when you were sleeping
I heard you say
'Oh Lily!'
But baby you know my name
You know my name
My name is Jossie baby
And don't you forget it love baby!
Ooh oh oh oh
See I believe, I believe you've been trying to make a
Trying to make a fool, outta me ooh ooh

And since you been, you've been
Going round baby, with your head so high
I think I'm gonna have to, to use my right
Cause I believe it baby, I just gotta know
How you really feel
Tell me right now, right here

You don't care for me no more
Why not baby?
You just starting to forget about me yeah
And I can't, I can't take it, take it, take it no more
Somebody tell me I had to, and I'm gonna
I'm gonna use my right on you boy
If you don't, you don't ship and shape it up
And fall in love

(I believe)
That you've been sleeping around on me
I saw the lipstick on your shirt
Smell the perfume in your hair
I believe!
I believe it right here, right now
That you're making a fool
You making a big, old, ugly, silly, ridiculous fool outta me!

. . .


Did I let you down? No
Did I give you up? No
So what's it all about now?
Was it not enough?
No, no, no

It's alright, yeah
It's okay, yeah
It's alright with me
I'll be fine, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
I'll pretend at least

But if you give me something, then I'll believe it
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Stalemate with you

Used to pick me up, yeah
Like a sunken pill
And I've been thinking it through
And we worked so well

But it feels wrong, yeah
When I'm strong alone, yeah
Strong alone by you
And the words you say, yeah
Just to get your way, yeah
Well they just won't do
You got to...

Give me something, then I'll believe it
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Oh I'm in stalemate
Oh I'm in stalemate, baby
(Stalemate with you)

I need more
I need more
What are you waiting for?

It's so frustrating
(So frustrating, baby)
You got to want it
(Yeah)
I'm so frustrated with your love
What you do to me
Oh, yeah, yeah
Hey
You got me in stalemate
Oooh
Hey, hey, hey
You got me in stalemate
Hey yeah
Oooh, don't mug me, baby
Don't mug me, love
You breakin' my heart now
Don't you break my heart, no
Don't you break my heart

. . .


In the beginning
You came on so strong
You were polite and full of charm
You got what you wanted
Then it wasn't very long
Before you dropped the act
And hot became lukewarm
You can tell everybody
That we're just fooling around
But baby don't fool yourself
I know what's going down

If you won't hold my hand
How can you call yourself my man
If I, if I can't meet your friends
And your family
How can I be your girlfriend on demand
If you won't hold my hand

Give me one good reason
I should sit around and wait
If you control my destiny
How can I trust in fate
Go ahead, take your time
I want you to be free
But I won't stay here by your side
While you're denying me

If you won't hold my hand
How can you call yourself my man
And you, see you don't understand
What this does to me
How it feels to be your girlfriend on demand
When you won't hold my hand

You whisper that you love me
But you won't say it out loud
You act like you're ashamed
To be with me
I want a man who's proud

Tell me to my face I'm not good enough
What could you possibly be thinking of
Why won't you look me in the eyes
When we're making love

If you won't hold my hand
Then how can you call yourself my man
And you, you don't understand
What this does to me
How it feels to be your girlfriend on demand
If you won't hold my...
Hold my hand

It's all I'm asking, baby
To hold my hand

. . .


I can't help it
Every conversation that I have
It's got me trapped
We're right back to where we started
Why, I can't stand it
I'm tryna get away from loving you
But that's no use
'Cos nothing that I ever seem to do is right

Right now I feel
I should do what's best for me
Even if it hurts so much
Think I'd better be so what

Every time I turn around
People always talking 'bout
They don't understand what they don't know
I wish they'd all leave me alone
Every time I turn around
Boy, there's always something 'bout cha
It's get away out of my control
And I don't want to be like this no more

I wish I had a dime
For every time you lied to me
I tried to leave
But something inside's pulling me
I don't like goodbyes
What could it be, it's just the irony
Someone I love this much just is right for me

Every time I turn around
People always talking 'bout
They don't understand what they don't know
I wish they'd all leave me alone
Every time I turn around
Boy, there's always something 'bout cha
It's get away out of my control
And I don't want to be like this no more

??? want you taking any
All that I own
I never felt like this before, boy
All that I know
Is I don't wanna fall in love again
But oh boy, being with you was so ???able
That being without you, I just can't let go

Every time I turn around
People always talking 'bout
They don't understand what they don't know
I wish they'd all leave me alone
Every time I turn around
Boy, there's always something 'bout cha
It's get away out of my control
And I don't want to be like this no more

Every time I turn around
(Every time)
People always talking 'bout
(People always talking 'bout me)
They don't understand what they don't know
I wish they'd all leave me alone
Every time I turn around
Boy, there's always something 'bout cha
It's get away out of my control
And I don't want to be like this no more

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be...

I'm tired baby
Can't you see that I'm tired love
I even had to, I had to write song about it
It's ridiculous yeah
To get you off my chest
Out of my head
Out of my life for good baby
Cause you're just a silly little wankerman
Not worth it
Silly little man yeah

Lalalalala
Moving on, moving on
Moving on, moving on
To someone
Taller cuter nicer
And all the way better
and everything, everything I need
You just so silly baby

Thank you for dusty love, she's really cute
And thank you for the lyrics love, they really helped me out
Thank you for growing me up
I lost a lot of trust with you
But i'm wiser for it, yes I am
Now you can go on boy
Dont turn around, just keep walking
Mr Wankerman
(Wanker)
Yes
Walking, walking baby
You got a couple issues in your head
Nothing but a no-good, dirty ugly asshole
(Maybe that was a little harsh)
Keep walking, walking
Keep on bouncing
yeah yeah
Step, step, stepping
Keep on stepping
Keep on moving on
One foot in front of the other
(Get the f**** out of my face bitch)
(That's a keeper)
Bitch
Mr Wankerman
(He's such a twat)
(Did anybody see War of the Worlds?)
(We should put that on)
(Huh?)
(I don't know why it's funny)
