“Funny How It Goes”

I like to talk a lot.
I like to break the rules.
I like to make you cry again and again.
But there isn’t much to say.
And everyone has gone away.
And you still sit there like a sad little puppy dog.

Ain’t it funny how it goes along, like the melody line to my favorite song.
How it goes away, like your face in my mind when I’m out on a date.
So much time well spent, in the back of my brain, wish we never had met.
But now here I am, yes you’re happy to see me I just don’t give a damn.

You ask me if I care.
And I say no, no, no.
I don’t care about anyone but me.
You ask me why baby, why?
But I just say goodbye.
Life ain’t so easy to get over your deficiency.

Ain’t it funny how it goes along, like the melody line to my favorite song.
How it goes away, like your face in my mind when I’m out on a date.
So much time well spent, in the back of my brain, wish we never had met.
But now here I am, yes you’re happy to see me I just don’t give a damn.

Shelter’s only a barricade to break.
I will get you dear or just you wait.
They tell me time will only heal these wounds I create.
So give me time to work this, a little deeper, a little sweeter, so I can get me some relief.

Ain’t it funny how it goes along, like the melody line to my favorite song.
How it goes away, like your face in my mind when I’m out on a date.
So much time well spent, in the back of my brain, wish we never had met.
But now here I am, yes you’re happy to see me I just don’t give a damn.

“Me and Your Man”

verse 1:
Well I told you once once and I’ll say it again,
there ain’t nothin goin on between me and your man.
I don’t know why you’re wastin your time
and why insecurity is takin over your life.
The possibility that he’s all about me,
wouldn’t be too far from the ordinary.

But I told you once and i’ll say it again,
There ain’t nothin goin on between me and your man,
There ain’t nothin…

Late last night at a quarter to two,
my door bell rang low and behold it was you.
At half past three you’re screamin at me yellin
accusations without an ability.
To represent your case from an open minded place
You’re happy sittin in your one-dimensional space

So I’ll say it I’ll scream it I’ll mean it again
There ain’t nothin goin on between me and your man
me and your man

Is it just that he likes to look at me?
Now you know your not the only one he sees.

So kick and scream and all the above
cryin hot tears wishin you had all of his love.
But each time you push he’ll pull away.
One day you’ll wake up and see what the message will say.
You did it to yourself girl, you did it to yourself,
Oh you know that you did oh you know that you did.

So I’ll say it just like when I began,
There ain’t nothin’ goin’ on between me and your man
There ain’t nothin’ goin’ on between me and your man
There ain’t nothin’ goin’ on between me and your man
There ain’t nothin’

“Barely There”

Bottle of wine, didn’t take me very far,
didn’t take me very far, last night.
You said okay, but then you never came to stay,
no you never came my way, and that ain’t right.

Ooh, ooh wee ooh…
What will I ever do?
If you never need me, if you just can’t see me?
Ooh, ooh ooh wee ooh…
What I do through and through.
Did you forget to care?
Cuz you are barely there.

Versatility loses, to popularity in school.
I always thought they were so cruel, to put me down.
Then I grew up, and thought the world grew with me too.
It goes to show how much I knew, really wasn’t true.

Ooh, ooh wee ooh…
What will I ever do?
If you never need me, if you just can’t see me?
Ooh, ooh ooh wee ooh…
What I do through and through.
Did you forget to care?
Cuz you are barely there.

How, how will I ever know,
If, if you chose not to show me?
Why, why do you always hide?
Is it, because you’ve got too much pride?

Ooh, ooh wee ooh…
What will I ever do?
If you never need me, if you just can’t see me?
Ooh, ooh ooh wee ooh…
What I do through and through.
Did you forget to care?
Cuz you are barely there.

Mover and a Shaker

Every mornin’ in my bed
before my feet begin to tread
I thank the feelin’ that I love
Alla, Shive, Mary Moth

It’s a shame that we can’t find
a way to represent our kind
Keep our individual
thanks that should come natural

And it makes me say
mmmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Don’t criticize
mmmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
My piece of mind.

Cuz I’m a mover and shaker
and I ain’t got time for any haters
I’m a mover and shaker
and I ain’t got time for any haters
I’m a mover and shaker
and I ain’t got time for any haters
Now move it, shake it, twist it, step it, kick it, tap it, groove it, or lose it.
I said now Now move it, shake it, twist it, step it, kick it, tap it, groove it, or lose it.

Now it’s your turn to recognize
the generation of demise.
The holy ghost don’t even care
how you get your mind up there.

And Buddha’s laugh will make you smile
belly rubbin’ all the while.
Don’t camaflouge your energy
Consider it philanthropy

Now baby now
mmmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Go get inspired
mmmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
and start a fire.

Cuz I’m a mover and shaker
and I ain’t got time for any haters
I’m a mover and shaker
and I ain’t got time for any haters
I’m a mover and shaker
and I ain’t got time for any haters
Now move it, shake it, twist it, step it, kick it, tap it, groove it, or lose it.
I said now Now move it, shake it, twist it, step it, kick it, tap it, groove it, or lose it.

I’m a mover, and a shaker, I said now I’m a shaker.

“This Time”

Well I been walkin, for three miles now, just to prove that I can do it all myself.
I’ve been tied down before, to the meanest of man, and I won’t be hearin that no more.

And this time, I’ll come out clean.
This time, it’s not a scheme.

Cuz I’m a free woman, givin you everything I got.
No lies, no shams, and no sugar-coated specialties, so come on and take me,
to the land of no return, cuz I know it’s only beautiful when you’re there, when you’re there.

You feed me, everything you got,
and sometimes my head don’t understand at all,
Why you treat me, like you would your best suit.
Is it because you wear me every night?

This time it’s gonna be right.
This time I’m gonna make it through the night,

Cuz I’m a free woman, givin you everything I got.
No lies, no shams, and no sugar-coated specialties, so come on and take me,
to the land of no return, cuz I know it’s only beautiful when you’re there, when you’re there.

And who told me? Was it you that screamed to stay.
And who scolded me and told me to stand in your way?
So I did just what you said, I planted my feet.
But how was I suppossed to know, the difference you’d make in me?

Cuz I’m a free woman, givin you everything I got.
No lies, no shams, and no sugar-coated specialties, so come on and take me,
to the land of no return, cuz I know it’s only beautiful when you’re there, when you’re there.

“It’s You”

The helicopters are out tonight, there’s no need to run.
Travel quickly without light, because you left behind the sun.
You came to eat inside my house, but no I wasn’t home.
And before you had a single doubt, life had left you all alone.

and it’s you…

Strength oh please don’t leave me now, wait for one more blow.
There is nothing I can do, but keep on dancing in the show.
Turn around and touch the sky, keep your shoulders back.
Don’t fall down you’ll lose your pride, and keep from steppin off the track.

and it’s you…

Beggin’ You

Baby I’m beggin’ you.
Baby I’m beggin’ you, beggin’ you.

Baby I’m beggin’ you, beggin’ you.
I’m beggin’ you.
Baby I’m beggin’ you, beggin’ you.
I’m beggin’ you, beggin’ you, beggin’ you.

Woke up this morning, without a care
till I realized you weren’t there.
You should have noticed

Call the police now baby,
sound the alarm.

Baby I’m beggin’ you.
Baby I’m beggin’ you, beggin’ you.

But this cupid stuff is tearin up my heart.
I am the only one, who can give you cherry pie.
I’m the only one, who will love you till you die.

Baby I’m beggin’ you.
Baby I’m beggin’ you, beggin’ you.
I’m beggin’ you.
Baby I’m beggin’ you, beggin’ you.

I’m beggin’ you, beggin’ you, beggin’ you.

“Step Right Up”

Step right up and give me your time today,
I won’t leave you astray, or bring you the wrong way.
Unfold your ears so i can lean in close,
give you a taste of my prose, slip you a little dose,

of something sweet, something that’s so complete,
a liability that you can’t cheat

I’m gonna make you, I’m gonna make you love me.
I said now, I’m gonna make you, I’m gonna make you love me.

Skinned my knees just trying to please,
the boys who can’t be appeased, who have no courtesy.
Done all I could to make them feel so good,
but it was understood, it was all about the wood.

So unfolds my side of this story;
Don’t need to misery to have company.

I’m gonna make you, I’m gonna make you love me.
I said now, I’m gonna make you, I’m gonna make you love me.

Stand with me now.
You’re almost there.
Stay one more moment.
The air is almost clear.

I’m gonna make you, I’m gonna make you love me.
I said now, I’m gonna make you, I’m gonna make you love me.

Never Again

Upside down planet what star did you see
before you flipped under did you think of me?
What did you get from above and beyond
that shattered the passion so easily pawned?

oooh oh, oooh oh, ooohh ooohh
oooh oh, oooh oh, ooohh ooohh

You look forward and then
and then never again, never my friend
Will the sweet sound of them
of them turn over again and over again
So there will be no end,
no end to this little trend so try to bend
Bend forward and then
and then never again never my friend

The men in white coats came in armies of three
collected the traffic displayed on the scene
The shoes on their feet made a tremulous sound
each step they took forward berated the ground

oooh oh, oooh oh, ooohh ooohh
oooh oh, oooh oh, ooohh ooohh

You look forward and then
and then never again, never my friend
Will the sweet sound of them
of them turn over again and over again
So there will be no end,
no end to this little trend so try to bend
Bend forward and then
and then never again never my friend

yeah yeah yeah…. etc…

You look forward and then
and then never again, never my friend
Will the sweet sound of them
of them turn over again and over again
So there will be no end,
no end to this little trend so try to bend
Bend forward and then
and then never again never my friend

Missin’ You

I’m missin’ you like the earth does the sun
on a cold and bitter night
I’m missin’ you like a train outta Georgia
carrying all my fruit away

“Tuesday Slept Alone”

You broke my heart last Thursday,
with hesitated words.
And all and all the weekend,
brought understated hurt.
Cuz my mind’s at my weakest,
and the moments move so slow.
When Monday came a creepin,
Tuesday slept alone.

Did I hear you, did I hear you, did I hear you say…
You’re gonna miss me one day?

Now I find myself,
on a wednesday afternoon.
Couldn’t find a reason
for a sophisticated truth.
So bring me some whiskey,
a bottle full of hope.
My mind will be right
before I start my downward slope.

Did I hear you, did I hear you, did I hear you say…
You’re gonna miss me one day?

“Layers of Love”

Come on a talk to me baby.
You see the truth in me.
Don’t let your fears consume you.
Just let your fantasy free.

Allow this life to take you sailing on its open shore,
and let these layers of love, be yours.

Lately the time is just crawling.
A minute passes like days.
You watch the angry world turning.
So set in all of its ways.

Be the one to take control of everything you do,
and let these layers of love stay true.

Do you know what you are made of…
maybe love will see you through…

Maybe this life is for living,
one baby step at a time.
But in your heart have given,
Yourself a place so divine.

Take the leap of faith you know
you’ve always wanted to…
And let these layers of love be you.
