Don't worry, I won't hurt U 
I only want U 2 have some fun 

I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray 
But when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was Judgment Day 
The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere 
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction, U know I didn't even care 

Cuz they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! 
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! 

I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so sue me if I go 2 fast 
But life is just a party and parties weren't meant 2 last 
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight 
So if I gotta die, I'm gonna listen 2 my body 2night 

Yeah, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! 
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (Yeah, yeah) 

People, let me tell U somethin' 
If U didn't come 2 party, don't bother knockin' on my door 
I got a lion in my pocket and, baby, he's ready 2 roar (Yeah) 
Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day (Oh) 
But before I let that happen, I'll dance my life away 

Oh, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! 
(We're runnin' out of time) 
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we gonna, oh!) 

Say it one more time 
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (No, no) 
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We're gonna, we gonna) 

Alright, 1999 
U say it, 1999 
1999 (1999) 

Don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time 
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (Yeah, yeah) 
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we're gonna) 

Yeah, 1999 (1999) 
Don't U wanna go? (1999) 
Don't U wanna go? (1999) 
We could all die any day (1999) 
I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away (1999) 
Listen 2 what I'm tryin' 2 say 
Everybody, everybody say party! 
Come on now, U say it (Party!) 
That's right, everybody say 
(Party!) {repeat in BG} 
Can't run from Revelation, no! 
Sing it 4 your nation, y'all! 
Dreamin' when U're singin', baby! 
Say the telephone a-ringin', mama, now! 
Come on, come on, U say 
Everybody, 2 times 
Work it down 2 the ground, I'm sayin' 
(Oh baby, say it again) 
(Oh, shake your body, baby!) 
That's right, come on, sing the song 
That's right, everybody say 
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say! 
Ah, and he's ready 2 roar! 
Yeah! 


. . .



I guess I should've known by the way U parked your car sideways 
That it wouldn't last 
See, U're the kinda person that believes in makin' out once 
Love 'em and leave 'em fast 
I guess I must be dumb cuz U had a pocket full of horses 
Trojan and some of them used 
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right 
And U say - "What have I got 2 lose?" 

And honey, I say Little Red Corvette 
Baby, U're much 2 fast (Oh) 
Little Red Corvette 
U need a love that's gonna last 

I guess I should've closed my eyes when U drove me 2 the place 
Where your horses run free 
Cuz I felt a little ill when I saw all the pictures 
Of the jockeys that were there before me 
Believe it or not, I started 2 worry 
I wondered if I had enough class 
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right 
And U say - "Baby, have U got enough gas?" 
Oh yeah! 

Little Red Corvette 
Baby, U're much 2 fast (Yes U are) 
Little Red Corvette 
U need 2 find a love that's gonna last (Oh, oh) 

A body like yours oughta be in jail 
Cuz it's on the verge of bein' obscene 
Move over, baby, gimme the keys 
I'm gonna try 2 tame your little red love machine 

Little Red Corvette 
Baby, U're much 2 fast 
Little Red Corvette 
Need 2 find a love that's gonna last, hey hey 

Little Red Corvette 
Honey, U got 2 slow down (Got 2 slow down) 
Little Red Corvette 
Cuz if U don't, U're gonna run your little red corvette right in the ground 
(Little Red Corvette) 
Right down 2 the ground (Honey, U got 2 slow down) 
U, U, U got 2 slow down 
(Little Red Corvette) 
U're movin' much 2 fast, 2 fast 
Need 2 find a love that's gonna last! 

Girl, U got an ass like I never seen, ow! 
And the ride... 
I say the ride is so smooth, U must be a limousine 

Ow! 
Baby, U're much 2 fast 
Little Red Corvette 
U need a love, U need a love that's, uh, that's gonna last 
(Little Red Corvette) 
Babe, U got 2 slow down (U got 2 slow down) 
Little Red Corvette 
Cuz if U don't, cuz if U don't 
U're gonna run your body right into the ground (Right into the ground) 
Right into the ground (Right into the ground) 
Right into the ground (Right into the ground) 


. . .



I get delirious whenever U're near 
Lose all self-control, baby, just can't steer 
Wheels get locked in place 
Get a stupid look on my face 
When it comes 2 makin' a pass, pretty mama 
I just can't win a race 

Cuz I get delirious 
Delirious 
Delirious 

I get delirious when U hold my hand 
Body gets so weak I can hardly stand 
My temperature's runnin' hot 
Baby, U got 2 stop 
Cuz if U don't I'm gonna explode 
And girl I've got a lot 

I get delirious, yeah 
Delirious 
Delirious 

I get delirious whenever U're near 
Girl, U gotta take control cuz I just can't steer 
U're just 2 much 2 take 
I can't stop, I ain't got no brakes 
Girl, U gotta take me 4 a little ride up and down 
In and out around your lake 

I'm delirious 
U, U, U get me delirious 
Baby, lay me down 
Delirious 
The room, the room, the room is spinnin' around, oh yeah 
(Delirious) {repeat in BG} 
I..I..I..I'm deliri... oh yeah, oh I, oh I, yeah 
Delirious, yeah 
It's got me in repair, everybody look out 
Everybody will know 
Oh yeah, I'm delirious 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Funny but it seems that U're alone like me 
If U are, girl let's come see what we can see 

CHORUS: 
Ooh, little darlin', if U're free 4 a couple o' hours (Free 4 a couple o'
hours) 
If U ain't busy 4 the next 7 years (Next 7 years)

There ain't nothin' wrong if it feels alright 
I won't stop until the mornin' light 
Let's pretend we're married and go all night 2night 
Ooh wee sha sha coo coo yeah

When U know I'm just an addict 
So stop the music, baby

No matter what U do 
So stop the music, baby

4 no man deserves your love 
I only pray that when U dream 
I'm the one U dream of 
I pray that when U dream 
U dream of how we kiss 
Not with our lips, but with our souls 
Stop me if I bore U 
Why is it that I think we'd be so good in bed? 
Can U hear me? 
Why do I love U so much? 
It's so strange, I'm more comfortable around U when I'm naked 
Can U hear me? 
I wonder if U have any mercy, don't torture me 

Stop the music, baby 
Automatic fool! 

When it comes 2 U, I'm automatic, baby

They say nothing's perfect 
But they don't know U 
It's automatic 2 
Can U hear me?

A-u-t-o-matic {x2} 
Hey! 

Fasten your seat belts 
Prepare 4 takeoff 

I can dream of how U kissed me 
Not with your lips, but with your soul 
With U I'm never bored 
Talk 2 me some more 
I can hear U

Some people tell me I got great legs

U think you're special, well so do I
Why do special women make me cry?
Does not compute (Does not compute)
It don't not compute (Don't not compute)

Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water they drink
'Cuz why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad?

Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U
It don't compute (Don't not compute)
Somethin' mama don't compute (Don't not compute)
What's the hangup? What's the scam?
Guess U think I'm just another 1...1 of your fans

Somethin' honey don't compute (Don't not compute)

Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water U drink
'Cuz why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad?

Some people think I'm kinda smart
Why must a fella stop with U before he starts?
It don't compute, mama (Does not compute)
Somethin' don't compute (Don't not compute)
I'd buy U clothing, buy U fancy cars
But U gotta talk 2 me, baby, tell me who U really r

Don't sleep 'til the sunrise, listen 2 the falling rain
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow, don't worry 'bout your pain
Don't cry unless you're happy, don't smile unless you're blue
Never let that lonely monster take control of U

Be glad that U r free
Free 2 change your mind
Free 2 go most anywhere, anytime
Be glad that U r free
There's many a man who's not
Be glad 4 what U had baby, what you've got
Be glad 4 what you've got

I know (my?) heart is beating, my drummer tells me so
If U take your life 4 granted, your beating heart will go
So don't sleep until you're guilty, 'cuz sinners all r we
There's others doing far worse than us, so be glad that U r free

Be glad that U r free
Free 2 change your mind
Free 2 go most anywhere, anytime
Be glad that U r free
There's many a man who's not
Be glad 4 what U had baby, what you've got
Be glad 4 what you've got

Soldiers are a marching, they're writing brand new laws
Will we all fight together 4 the most important cause?
Will we all fight 4 the right 2 be free?
Free (Be glad that U r free)
Free 2 change my mind (Free 2 change your mind)
Free 2 go most anywhere, anytime (Free 2 go most anywhere,anytime)
I'm just glad, I'm just glad I'm free, yeah (Be glad that U r free)
There's many a man who's not (There's many a man who's not)
Glad 4 what I had baby, (Be glad 4 what U had and)
Glad 4 what I got, oh yeah (for what you've got)
Oh I'm just glad, I'm just glad I'm free,yeah (Be glad that U r free)

Lady cab driver -- Can U take me 4 a ride?
Don't know where I'm goin' 'cuz I don't know where I've been
So just put your foot on the gas -- let's drive

Trouble winds r blowin', I'm growin' cold
Get me outta here -- I feel I'm gonna die

Lady cab driver, roll up your window fast
Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last

Lady -- I'm so lonely
I know that's not the way 2 be
Don't want isolation, but the air it makes me cold
Drive it, baby, drive it, drive this demon out of me
Take me 2 your mansion
Honey, let's go everywhere
Help me girl I'm drownin', mass confusion in my head
Will U accept my tears 2 pay the fare?

Lady cab driver, roll up your wndow fast

Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last

This is 4 the cab U have 2 drive 4 no money at all
This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall
This is 4 politicians who r bored and believe in war
This -- Yeah, that's 4 me, that's who that 1's 4
This is 4 discrimination and egotists who think supreme
And this is 4 whoever taught U how 2 kiss in designer jeans
That 1's 4-- That 1's 4-- 4 U have 2 live
This 1's 4 the rich, not all of 'em, just the greedy
The ones that don't know how 2 give
This 1's 4 Yosemite Sam and the tourists at Disneyland
And this 1-- ooh! Yeah -- That's the 1.
That's 4-- that's 4 the-- the creator of man
This is 4 the sun, the moon, the stars, the tourists at Disneyland
This is 4 the ocean, the sea, the shore
This is 4-- and that's 4 U, and that's who that 1's 4
This is 4 the women, so beautifully complex
This 1's 4 love without sex
This is 4 the wind that blows no matter how fast or slow
Not knowing where I'm going
This galaxy's better than not having a place 2 go
And now I know (I know)

If 4 any reason there is a loss in cabin pressure
I will automatically drop down 2 apply more
2 activate the flow of excitement
Extinguish all clothing materials and pull my body close 2 yours
Place my lips over your mouth, and kiss, kiss, normally
In the event there is overexcitement
Your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device

We ask that U please observe the "No Letting Go" sign
I anticipate a few turbulence along the way

We r now making our final approach 2 Satisfaction
Please bring your lips, your arms, your hips
Into the upright and locked position
4 landing -- Can U feel it? Can U feel it?
Yeah

{ Let me take it around }
{ Let it all hang out }

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Welcome 2 Satisfaction
Please remain awake until the aircraft has come 2 a complete stop
Thank U 4 flying Prince International
