Melody Gardot Album

Mmm..yeah
There comes a time in every little girl's life
When her momma says, Girl, do your best Cause one day you may
come
to find
That all of your life has been a wicked ride
There comes a time in every young woman's life
When all of the men though they come and again
Its hardly enough to survive
And she starts to think life is a wicked ride
(scat)
There comes a time in every old woman's life
When she takes a look in her picture book
And then she begins to realize
That all of her life has been a wicked ride
All of her life, all of her life, all of her life has been a wicked
ride

You come off like a white knight
Always honest always right
You come off like a brave soul
Truthful and noble
And then you go
(refrain)
And lie to me Lie to me
Make me promises you can't keep
Lie to me Lie to me
Why you always lie to me

Every time that we speak
I get dizzy I get weak
You don't know the things you say
You're quick to talk then walk away

And lie to me Lie to me
Make me promises you can't keep
Lie to me Lie to me
Why you always lie to me

You're always telling lies
You're always telling lies

Lie to me Lie to me
Make me promises you can't keep
Lie to me Lie to me
Why you always lie to me

Down my avenue the sun don't shine on the street
Down my avenue all the people walking drag their feet
Down my avenue everyone you meet is full of gloom
And the shade of their face is one of unpending doom

Let me tell you know
You don't know what it's like unless you live here
You don't know what it's like unless you live here
All I wanna do is just to scream and shout into their ears
Hey people why do you think it's all right to go and hurt me

Down my avenue everyboy tells you how it is
Things like he ran to her house and she snuck on back into his
Down my avenue everybody 's got a story to tell
But the fact of the matter is nobody knows it too well

Let me tell you know
You don't know what it's like unless you live here
You don't know what it's like unless you live here
All I wanna do is just to scream and shout into their ears
Hey people why do you think it's all right to go and hurt me

Why, Why

Dans les rues

Let me tell you know
You don't know what it's like unless you live here
You don't know what it's like unless you live here
All I wanna do is just to scream and shout into their ears
Hey people why do you think it's all right to go and

why do you think it's all right
why do you think it's all right
why do you think it's all right
To go and hurt me
uhmmmm

[No lyrics]

Momma it's driving me insane
to see you in such an awful pain
you know that i'll do anything i can
just to make you smile all over again

Chorus
Momma, what's been going on,
you've been way to down,
for way too long
i said Momma,
did i go and do something wrong,
Momma, what's going on

Momma you can take your time,
Momma that will be just fine,
but you know i'd listen up to every word
come on, Momma now
don't you be absurd,

Chorus
Momma, what's been going on,
you've been way to down
for way to long
i said Momma,
Did I go and do something wrong,
Momma what's going on

Momma, i know you're feeling blue,
i see the way he talks to you,
his words,they cut like a knife
and Momma i know you're feeling bad
i see the way he miss you sad,
i wish that I could change our lives
but I figure it out
You got to start it all over now

Chorus
Momma, what's been going on
you've been way to down
for way too long
I said Momma, did i go and do something wrong
Momma, what's going on
Momma what's going on
Momma what's going on

Well I'm buckled up inside
It's a miracle that I'm alive
I do not think I can survive
On bread and wine alone
To think that I could have fallen
A centimeter to the left
Would not be here to see the sunset
Or have myself a time
(refrain)
Well why do the hands of time
So easily unwind
Some lessons we learn the hard way
Some lessons don't come easy
That's the price we have to pay
Some lessons we learn the hard way
They don't come right off and right easy
That's why they say some lessons learned we learn the hard way

Remember the sound of the pavement
World turned upside down
City streets unlined and empty
LyricsNot a soul around
Life goes away in a flash
Right before your eyes
If I think real hard well I reckon
I've had some real good times
(refrain)
Well why do the hands of time
So easily unwind
Some lessons we learn the hard way
Some lessons don't come easy
That's the price we have to pay
Some lessons we learn the hard way
They don't come right off and right easy
That's why they say some lessons learned we learn the hard way
