sometimes I feel sad about
how much I am missing out
but my commission goes up
when you buy another round
and I can’t go out on dates
I’m off work way too late
but if you’re free on a Tuesday
maybe then I can hang
I keep on collecting bucks
that’s how I pay for my roughs
show me your a baller
and I’ll pour a little taller

I’ll have to skip my new years eve
just another work night for me
I’m looking for that extra pay
clocked in on valentine's day

spending all my time in bars

I'll keep pouring whisky

I’ve been feeling so content
falling over and over again
I’m head over heels for all my friends
especially in the state we’re in
I’m trying not to get attached
but time is moving way too fast
grateful for another glass
to see half full
I think we go together
like pacifico and lime
add a shot or maybe five
and now we’re talking the perfect night
as long as I get home alright avoid calling my ex
we just have to wrap it tight so there are no regrets
we can't all have everything
I’ll never be this young again
someday when I'm much older
and forget all my hangovers
I'll remember the djs
every song that they played
my fam and I doing way too much
dancing, laughing loud and such
the requests on the jukebox
hip hop, new wave, punk rock
empty pints, cigarette butts
I can’t ever get enough
I've been feeling so relaxed
watching you sip your jack
I live for moments just like this
I know they never last
wish that I could stop the clock so we could all stay here and talk
I want to know everything
everything
but we can't all have everything
I’ll never be this young again
someday when I'm much older,
and forget all my hangovers
I'll remember the djs
every song that they played
my fam and I doing way too much
dancing, laughing loud and such
the requests on the jukebox
hip hop, new wave, punk rock
empty pints, cigarette butts
I can’t ever get enough
maybe it's bad for my health
I don’t wish I was someone else
where's the value in a good time
we all have our own lives this is mine
hold my hand and look in my eyes
i know a place nobody lies
in between those sips and lines
there’s nothing to hide
I'll remember the djs
every song that they played
my fam and I doing way too much
dancing, laughing loud and such
the requests on the jukebox
hip hop, new wave, punk rock
empty pints, cigarette butts
I can’t ever get enough

never been in love like this
I knew it from our first kiss
that slow burn in my mouth
kept bringing me back for another round
met her when I was way too young
never learned how else to have fun
haven’t been able to fall in love
she’s always been my only one
how much blue have I swallowed
could I ever let it all go
who am i without my blue
will i ever know?
until this flower runs dry
this is how i’ll live and die
in the blue
blue
so now tell me how on earth
could i ever get through work
grasp all that is stressed me
without her giving me what I need
now for over half my life
she and I’ve been intertwined
that tingle I get in my thighs
she warms me from the inside
how much blue have I swallowed
and could I ever let it all go
who am i without my blue
will i ever know?
until this flower runs dry
this is how i’ll live and die
in the blue
blue

monday night past 2am
this time i’m the wing woman
only brooklyn can handle us
tomorrow’s gonna be tough but we'll suck it up
we danced and played pool and darts
teared up having a heart to heart
one shot, two shot, we go hard
three shots, four shots then it starts
we meet new dudes every night
most of whom are just alright
I know it’s not one of those times
I can see it in your eyes
I'll listen to you sing the blues
from the barstool right here next to you
we can drink until we forget
and do something we'll both regret
complain over throbbing heads
but so blessed to have a friend
I'm only here to offer you a hand to hold
I'll always be on the other end of the phone
boys will try to break us as they come and go
but we’ll never ever ever be alone
friday night in early June
we are sitting on my stoop
pass the flask while we regroup
gotta finish off this 40 proof
so much going on in NYC
always a flavor of the week
we’re both texting our new dude
i know this one has got to you
I’m always glad to see you smile
and judging just is not my style
you know how wild i can get
you never stress me over it
I'll listen to you sing the blues
from the barstool right here next to you
we can drink until we forget
and do something we'll both regret
complain over throbbing heads
but so blessed to have a friend
I'm only here to offer you a hand to hold
I'll always be on the other end of the phone

I don’t wanna wake up
make my tired face up
cover it with makeup
iI’m looking kinda beat up
tired of feeling shitty
I’m not even hungry
and there’s not enough coffee
what I need is more sleep
I don’t wanna pretend
with all my so called friends
that I wanna small talk
I don’t wanna show off
how much I can drink and
how long I can hang
cause it’s always the same
nothing here to gain
we must all be insane
to think that we’ll change
living in the fast lane
headed to a dead end
we’re all going to hell
but we do it again and again
and again and again
we can’t help ourselves
we’re all going to hell
but we do it again and again
and again and again
we can’t help ourselves
we’re all going to hell
there is no connection
bored by this conversation
no one here gives a fuck
they just wanna get drunk
these regulars depress me
they all smoke too much weed
skiing so they can’t sleep
acting like they’re happy
I just want my tab closed
where did all my cash go
close to being dead broke
feeling down and emo
maybe i should go home
just wanna be alone
it’s always the same
nothing here to gain
we must all be insane
to think that we’ll change
living in the fast lane
headed to a dead end
but we do it again and again
and again and again
we can’t help ourselves
we’re all going to hell
but we do it again and again
and again and again
we can’t help ourselves
we’re all going to hell
keep pouring
we’ll drink it all
let’s see who is the first to fall
wait let me finish up my beer
before they throw us out of here
but we do it again and again
and again and again
we can’t help ourselves
we’re all going to hell
but we do it again and again
and again and again
we can’t help ourselves

I only want to feel you
from your insides
I wanna know how they differ
from mine
I only want to know what
both sets taste like
and if you’ll give me the night
I will rock them all in time
your body’s not a mystery
don’t need to ask for anything
just Shhhh….let me do my thing
I know exactly what I’m doing
I’ll love you
the same way I’d wanna be loved
I’ll touch you
the same way I’d wanna be touched
I’ll love you
the same way I’d wanna be loved
I’ll touch you
the same way I’d wanna be touched
I only want to hear you
screaming like you're dying
I know you've been through
less pain than I
I only want to show you
life on the other side
your past is probably
far cleaner than mine
your body’s not a mystery
don’t need to ask for anything
just Shhhh….let me do my thing
I know exactly what I’m doing
I’ll love you
the same way I’d wanna be loved
I’ll touch you
the same way I’d wanna be touched
I’ll love you
the same way I’d wanna be loved
I’ll touch you
the same way I’d wanna be touched
you keep on trying to talk to me
shhh
not right now I’m too busy
oh what your friends must think of me
but you make this way too easy
your body’s not a mystery
don’t need to ask for anything
just Shhhh….let me do my thing
I know exactly what I’m doing
I’ll love you
the same way I’d wanna be loved
I’ll touch you
the same way I’d wanna be touched
I’ll love you

how did you end up here?
lying next to me
I guess you just smile and then
I start to get weak
what’s the difference anyway
I still sleep in your tee
and when I lay me down to sleep
still smell you on my sheets
but last night makes tonight
much colder
I just wish that our time would
move slower
want to call you and then start
this whole thing over
repeat all that we said
now that we’re sober
but we never talk that way
exposed in the light of day
it’s so much safer at night
where you can be my escape
but the only problem is
I want you when I’m awake
I know you’re no good for me
but I want you to stay
do I never learn
keep looking at my phone
knowing that if I respond
I’m not going home alone
if we start up again
who knows where it will end
but I’ve have enough to drink
so damn the consequence
but last night makes tonight
much colder
I just wish that our time would
move slower
want to call you and start
this whole thing over
repeat all that we said
now that we’re sober
but last night makes tonight
much colder
I just wish that our time would

where you can be my escape
but the only problem is
I want you when I’m awake
I know you’re no good for me
but I want you to stay
we don't ever talk about shit
you and I are just too delicate
if we were to call this what it is
no doubt that would be the end of it
cause I think we both already know
but don't wanna let each other go
so we stay close to the ledge
walking on eggshells
always on edge
I can only hope that we make it unharmed
highly unlikely I'm too scarred
in over my head and a little bit crazy
it's a lose lose but we're too far
everybody knows that it’s gonna end badly
but i’m not tapping out until we’re both empty
let's ride it out all the way to the sunrise
cause we'll never know when it's gonna be the last time
lying next to me
I guess you just smile and then
I start to get weak
what’s the difference anyway
I still sleep in your tee
and when I lay me down to sleep
still smell you on my sheets

let's ride it out all the way to the sunrise
cause we'll never know when it's gonna be the last time
I've been with you way too long
I don’t know any different
loyal to our bond
I keep others at a distance
it’s no secret I am all yours
we’re never getting divorced
until death do us part
or until you rip out my heart
no doubt that you’ll outlive me
I can feel it in my kidneys
you’ll have a thousand devotees
after i’m gone and buried
never thought I’d go astray
but I’ve started to wonder
will you be my end all, be all?
I’m not getting any younger
is it too late to start over?
would you ever let me go
I used to be full of promise
now i just feel old
I’m not sweet like I used to be
my heart has turned to stone
you’re the only thing inside of me
since I sold my soul
I’ve been with you forever
I was your child bride
thought our ties would never sever
you and I for all times
don’t know where in this long run
somehow it stopped being fun
it doesn’t feel as pure
as when I turned 21
but I am not aging well
look close enough and you can tell
I’m no longer a pretty belle
my eyes reveal I’ve been through hell
everybody knows the truth
never love another like you
I have always been obsessed with blue
Colorblind, see no other hues
is it too late to start over?
would you ever let me go
I used to be full of promise
now I just feel old
I’m not sweet like I used to be
my heart has turned to stone
you’re the only thing inside me
since i sold my soul
is it too late to start over?

since i sold my soul
trust me now that I am through with us
there nothing left to give up
something about you is poisonous
never deserving of my love
I should have just listened to my gut
when it said you're dangerous
now I'm getting rid of all of your stuff
scrubbing the floor with your toothbrush
trust me now that I am through with this
feeling like wasted every minute
do what you want & I won't care one bit
oh baby you were never worth it
deep down I knew you were never enough
nothing amounted to very much
now I'm getting rid of all of your stuff
scrubbing the floor with your toothbrush
Hold on baby
I’m not through
I got nothin
left to lose
take everything I
gave to you
set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
trust me that you’ll never weaken me
not gonna cry or lose any sleep
i’m the one who’s gonna end up happy
sit back and watch baby you will see
I’ll never respect you matter what
fallen as far as I can out of love
now I'm getting rid of all of your stuff
scrubbing the floor with your toothbrush
take everything I
gave to you
set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
take everything I
gave to you
set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
take everything I
gave to you
set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
there nothing left to give up
something about you is poisonous
never deserving of my love
I should have just listened to my gut
when it said you're dangerous
now I'm getting rid of all of your stuff
scrubbing the floor with your toothbrush
trust me now that I am through with this
feeling like wasted every minute
do what you want & I won't care one bit
oh baby you were never worth it
deep down I knew you were never enough
nothing amounted to very much
now I'm getting rid of all of your stuff
scrubbing the floor with your toothbrush
Hold on baby
I’m not through
I got nothin
left to lose
take everything I
gave to you
set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
trust me that you’ll never weaken me
not gonna cry or lose any sleep
i’m the one who’s gonna end up happy
sit back and watch baby you will see
I’ll never respect you matter what
fallen as far as I can out of love
now I'm getting rid of all of your stuff
scrubbing the floor with your toothbrush
take everything I
gave to you
set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
take everything I
gave to you
set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
take everything I
gave to you
set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
no plus one on the invite
I’m next to a random guy
my ex is sitting to my right
it’s gonna be a long night
dressed in all black everything
strapless, showing off my ink
the only girl without a ring
but damn what anybody thinks
drink all the champagne
shots with the dj
dancing till my feet are sore
the last one to leave the floor
I feel like some sort of cliche
like nobody else my age
everyone’s got something to say
asking me if I’m okay
I’m not the one to worry about
nobody has it all figured out
but I do
I do
I do
whatever I want to
whatever I want to
whatever I want to
another summer sunday
one more registry
it’s a little too early
for those in my industry
did I dress appropriate?
hope they know I did my best
the only oven with no bun
but glad to be here it’s all love
pink cupcakes for lunch
I drink all the punch
laughing till our faces hurt
looking through our old pictures
I feel like some sort of cliche
like nobody else my age
everyone’s got something to say
asking me if I’m okay
I’m not the one to worry about
nobody has it all figured out
but I do
I do
I do
whatever I want to
whatever I want to
whatever I want to
yes I'm alone some may say
but what does that mean anyway
I have got more joy than most
not a perfect but pretty close
I still feel like I am young
I am having the most fun
life is good for number one
I don’t answer to anyone
I’m not the one to worry about
nobody has it all figured out
but I do
I feel like some sort of cliche
like nobody else my age
everyone’s got something to say

I was only child I've been fucked from the jump
imaginary friends sitting solo at lunch
had to raise myself so I grew to be tough
knock me down and I’m gonna get up
nobody gave me things so I give no fucks
and now I don’t ever sweat the small stuff
and the only thing that I’ve ever been scared of
was love
I got way too good at letting go
the walls go up if you get close
I can see it coming a mile away
and then it always ends the same
I know it’s hard to hear the truth
you won’t be an exception to the rule
not saying we can’t have a little fun
just know in the end I’m gonna fuck it up
I’m loving every moment
you’re a damn good time
I’m not prepared to give more
than an unforgettable night
you don’t have to put up a fight
go with what feels right
but don’t say I didn’t warn you
that I will ruin your life
in and out of consciousness
from the powder that we crushed
all of that MDMA
sprinkled into our champagne
it’s only going to escalate
we’re not home yet but I can’t wait
i know we should get a room
I can’t keep my hands off you
I’m trying to catch my breath
I am too consumed
I am having so much fun
we’ll wake up and still be drunk
ooh that curve of your spine
put your little hand in mine
I look up from between your thighs
you say shhh, get back inside
I’m loving every moment
you’re a damn good time
I’m not prepared to give more
than an unforgettable night
you don’t have to put up a fight
go with what feels right
but don’t say I didn’t warn you
that I will ruin your life
it’s the same shit different day
waking up in Brooklyn or in the bay
aspirin and coffee for my headache
say hello from the subway ride of shame
what’s to blame?
Do I hate myself or am I bored
every night feels just like the one before
same ol’ drinks different bar
my black tank top on another floor
I could say that I’m thinking of you
and it would probably still be the truth
but I gonna refrain from reaching out
cause now what is there left to talk about
this time I tried to be fearless
didn't hold my breath before I dove right in
there’s no better way to learn how to swim
but too scared to drown in the deep end
I’m loving every moment
you’re a damn good time
I’m not prepared to give more
than an unforgettable night
you don’t have to put up a fight
go with what feels right
but don’t say I didn’t warn you
that I will ruin your life

you say I'm your kryptonite
and I make you feel weak
I'm just going to have to lie
like you don't do that to me
just don’t look at me longingly
I can't resist your pull too long
one of us better do the right thing
I'm gonna have to be strong
so move on
if you want
but I won't go until I know
that you are long gone
you could knock on my door
1000 years from now
for every time I shut you down
I just want to turn it all around
cause there's love
and there's love
and there's this
you know that I’ll never call
But you can call all the same
Cause if you left it up to me
I'd reach out everyday
I’ll never be satisfied
with only a taste
i’m am so weak for your voice
obsessed with your face
so move on
if you want
but I won't go until I know
that you are long gone
you could knock on my door
1000 years from now
for every time I shut you down
I just want to turn it all around

I just want to turn it all around
cause there's love
and there's love
and there's this
there's this
in a thousand years
you could press replay
and you can bet
I’ll still feel this way
in a thousand years
you could press replay
and you can bet
I’ll still feel this way
and I make you feel weak
I'm just going to have to lie

Run the Blues
Been around the block in a tour van
Driven from oakland to austin
Asheville all the way to Boston
yeah
Many many men I’ve forgotten
Between the drinking and all the talking
But there’s something about this one’s skin
Man i just couldn’t stop thinking
And i’m not sure why he’s on my mind
I meet new guys all the time
Plus he’s so unaffected
I’m rarely taken by rap guys
I know not to trust my own kind
That same unstable tour grind
But this time i am blind
Many many men act thirsty
As if they’ve never been around a lady
Plus I melt faces off with my RnB
So why hasn’t this one stepped to me?
And i’m not sure why he’s on my mind
I meet new guys all the time
Plus he’s so unaffected
You know I’ll get it!
Avery night is brand new
New city, always a new boo
I do whatever I want to (true)
I’ll admit I’ve had a few
We’re small fish in a big pool
We’re just trying to get a piece of the pie
I do what I have to
Right now I’m just trying to catch this one’s eye
And i’m not sure why he’s on my mind
I meet new guys all the time
Plus he’s so unaffected
You know I’ll get it!

To every guy that I
Ever kissed and didn’t mean it
And when I went MIA
I just hope you took the hint
Thanks for all the compliments
They were all so sweet
But if you’re looking for a sure thing
You won’t find that with me
I just wanted conversation
Assumed that you were fine
But you were just being patient
Hoping I would change my mind
Didn’t mean to play games
Or give you false pretense
But sometimes a girl like me
Just needs some attention
Yeahhhh
You know sometimes a girl like me
Just needs some attention
For every time that I
Ever bounced in the middle of the night
Sorry I left you alone
I prefer to wake up at home
I hope you don’t think I’m cold
I really think you’re great
But you are just playing yourself
If you think I’m gonna stay
I know you wanted me
And I thought you were sexy
But baby you should have guessed it
I won’t ever be invested
Didn’t mean to play games
Or give you false pretense
But sometimes a girl like me
Just needs some attention
Yeahhhh
You know sometimes a girl like me
Just needs some attention
I hope you’re not too sad
Never wanted to make you mad
My baaaad

Two cuts in my eyebrows stay wildin out
Eyes all black, bright pink on the pout
Like the isleys make em twist, make em shout
Cause all they wanna do is just put me in their mouth
Line up the shots don't forget to tip
Fortaleza for everybody in my click
Cause we gets it in on our business trips
And you already know I’m the boss in this
On stage shining slangin cds
Back of the house counting merch money
Some think I’m cocky but please believe
Sayin no all the time gets so tiring
Cause I'm not a floozy thirsty for the D
None of these lames coming home with me
But if I feel like a little roll in the sheets
Just call me a lyft, give a kiss on the cheek, peace!
Run the, Run the Blues
(DeShawn Timothy )
Crawled up from the bottom, fucking hater I’m here
I’mma stay in the field, like them trackers John Deere
Mow suckers over, until I’m worldly discovered
Dressed in all black, I’m gonna show my true color
Spit sick from da lips, honeybun, that’s valid
I’m the best forever, ask DJ Khaled
Middle fingers up, if you fucking with me
Put ya drank in the air, for the kid, DT
Whoa, Philly jawn, stay bomb, stay shittin
Bums still can’t see me so they stay squintin
Ghostwrite for ya fav, just call me Quinton
Miller, point blank, son, I’m iller
Not to mention that I’m so fucking gorgeous
“#STAYINYALANE” or proceed with caution
It’s Corina Corina, DeShawn Timothy
Visibly the sickest queens up in these streets
Two cuts in my eyebrows stay wildin out
Eyes all black, bright pink on the pout
Like the isleys make em twist, make em shout

It’s Corina Corina, DeShawn Timothy
Visibly the sickest queens up in these streets
Don’t look at me with those beautiful big brown eyes
I know you can see right through to my insides
When you get close, I can’t even hide
That you bring my cold dead heart right back to life
I know they see it all from the outside
When you’re near me I can’t ever break my smile
It could be months or just a little while
From a foot away or three thousand miles
It’s obvious when I look at you
I'll never look away
There’s too much water under this bridge
But I still have to say
You’re mine, all mine
She thinks that you are hers but we all know that’s a lie
You’re mine, always be mine
Quit trying to be a tough guy, why even deny?
I don’t have the right to be mad that you’re gone
And I can't knock you for trying to move on
You aren't the first but you may be my last
But I walked out so what choice did you have
I wonder if right now you're thinking of us
Cause I just saw you and now I’m caught up
The only thing keeping me from calling now
I know you're not alone and three’s a crowd
You’re mine, still mine
She thinks that you are hers but we all know that’s a lie
You’re mine, always be mine
Quit trying to be a tough guy, why even deny?
I know you can see right through to my insides
When you get close, I can’t even hide
That you bring my cold dead heart right back to life
I know they see it all from the outside

Another night another let down
Wanna cry but I'm too proud
Can’t bring myself to call you out
So I hold it in for now
Can’t show you that it matters
Whether or not you’re there
Shit would look pretty different
If you actually cared
Yo, I've done so many shows
Wondering if you would appear
Hoping I have enough drink tickets
To wash it all down with beer
I murk stages every night
And there's the internal fight
I shouldn't give a fuck
I'm getting enough love
From strangers and my fan base
It’s growing every day
Don't want those who aren't there
To overshadow a new face
My pride is always compromised
I handle it with grace
Cause you have no idea
I'm keeping it that way
Thank God for this pen and paper
And the attention of strangers
For without some kind of outlet
I know that I'd be in danger
Of losing my shit
Disappointment, ohhh
Disappointment, yeahh
Disappointment
Disappointment
Disappointment
Because of people like you
Now I know the ugly truth
That no matter what I do
I'll end up with the blues
I could do amazing things
Win awards for what I sing
Perform for the president
But you still wouldn't give a shit
No power, yes I know
Over how you feel for me
And even of there was hope
You'd probably never let me know, so
I hope that the spotlight
Is extra bright tonight
Shining so hard in my eyes
That I almost go blind
The whole place will just be cutouts
While I hear them scream and shout
But I know you aren't there
Without a shadow of a doubt
I hope they buy me extra shots
Some x after my set
To distract me from the letdown
So faded I forget
Then all I could remember
Is how much they all loved me
And how I just bared my heartbreak
Where I’m okay being seen
Losing my shit
Disappointment, ohhh
Disappointment, yeahh
Disappointment
Disappointment
Disappointment
Day in and day out
Set up to be let down
I do it cause I have to
Ain’t no other way around
I strip myself bare behind the pop screen
Tears in my eyes, I sweat, I bleed
For every small victory
Is a little bittersweet
Cause another one has shown me
That they’re still not down for me
Wanna cry but I'm too proud
Can’t bring myself to call you out
So I hold it in for now
Can’t show you that it matters

For every small victory
Is a little bittersweet
Cause another one has shown me
That they’re still not down for me
I may be young but I’m not a kid
And I’m not dumb, I know what this is
Reflective, self aware
Asking for trouble but I don’t care
You’re the only one that I can’t read
And another goal i have yet tot achieve
It’s gonna take work taming your beast
But I’ll get you to fall in love with me, so
Keep on playing hard to get
It’s torture but i love that shit
Cause nobody ever turns me down
And that all changed when you came around
Keep on keeping me guessing
You know that I love asking questions
Nobody can challenge me, but
You’re so damn refreshing, so
Touch me touch me touch me
Usually I feel nothing
Maybe in the morning
I won’t leave with no warning
Touch me touch me touch me
Finally I feel something
I’ll let you buy me coffee
All black no sugar no cream
Know what I mean?
Your eyes follow me around the room
Jealous of whoever I’m talking to
You’re trying trying to maintain your cool
But I’m cute, baby I don’t blame you
I so appreciate what you’re doing
You have my attention now please don’t lose it
Urgency is so overrated
They’re all thirsty but you’re well hydrated, so
Touch me touch me touch me
Usually I feel nothing
Maybe in the morning
I won’t leave with no warning
Touch me touch me touch me
Finally I feel something
I’ll let you buy me coffee
All black no sugar no cream
Know what i mean?
And I’m not dumb, I know what this is
Reflective, self aware
Asking for trouble but I don’t care
You’re the only one that I can’t read
And another goal i have yet tot achieve
It’s gonna take work taming your beast
But I’ll get you to fall in love with me, so
Keep on playing hard to get
It’s torture but i love that shit
Cause nobody ever turns me down
And that all changed when you came around
Keep on keeping me guessing
You know that I love asking questions
Nobody can challenge me, but
You’re so damn refreshing, so
Touch me touch me touch me
Usually I feel nothing
Maybe in the morning
I won’t leave with no warning
Touch me touch me touch me
Finally I feel something
I’ll let you buy me coffee
All black no sugar no cream
Know what I mean?
Your eyes follow me around the room
Jealous of whoever I’m talking to
You’re trying trying to maintain your cool
But I’m cute, baby I don’t blame you
I so appreciate what you’re doing
You have my attention now please don’t lose it
Urgency is so overrated
They’re all thirsty but you’re well hydrated, so
Touch me touch me touch me
Usually I feel nothing
Maybe in the morning
I won’t leave with no warning
Touch me touch me touch me
Finally I feel something
I’ll let you buy me coffee
All black no sugar no cream
Know what i mean?
The Free Way
sleeping at a stranger’s house
floor car chair couch
hurry up and go
next city next show
my head hurts
back’s worse
from these hours on the road
and my only company is this radio
it's all worth it
for these 30 minutes
these precious 1800 seconds
i know it's all worth it
for these 30 minutes
these precious 1800 seconds
house lights dim
candles flicker
i’ve got my canned beer
a shot of liquor
mic check one two is the guitar tuned?
i’m gonna tear the roof right off of this room
empty bottles and fliers
all around the car
the highway is is so dark
i can’t even see the stars
i get more dazed and tired
with every passing mile
and right now my only friend
is the radio dial
floor car chair couch
hurry up and go
next city next show
my head hurts
back’s worse
from these hours on the road
and my only company is this radio
it's all worth it
for these 30 minutes

the highway is is so dark
i can’t even see the stars
i get more dazed and tired
with every passing mile
and right now my only friend
is the radio dial

i’ve just spent hours outside
saying goodnight to you
and i can't go to sleep just yet
first thing that i’m gonna do
call you
write about you
find someone to talk to
about you
do you mind if i go on some more?
since the last time that i saw you
i haven't touched the ground
would you come and join me on this cloud?
i’ve been spending hours with you
and i’m not close to through
as soon as i walk in the door
i’m gonna wish i had some more
call you
write about you
find someone to talk to
about you
do you mind if i go on some more?
since the last time that i saw you
i haven't touched the ground
would you come and join me on this cloud?
garlic on the roast purple carrots heavenly
hash in the celery floating on a memory
passing over a melancholy melody
him or me i let it be
turquoise and purple
all rose gold before me
my head spins in circles
i’m certain i’m falling
this organs a hammond
that's played to exhaustion
i’m stretched off a xan
thats not truly important
i’m cozy, don't force it
ya whole stee is banjee
my peepee engorges
tripped on semantics
in rooms stuffed in orchids
drip on blue petals
sweat soaked through the floorboard
floorboard
do you mind if i go on some more?
since the last time that i saw you
i haven't touched the ground
would you come and join me on this cloud?

subconsciously i have tried
to avoid this feeling my whole life
it was always my job to inspire
those i never grew to admire
across the table is light
when he looks me in the eye
i can’t turn away
though inside i’m feeling the fight
across the table he smiles
i feel myself melting inside
terrified but i try
cause i’ve missed out on this my whole life
up until now i have fell
deeper into my own version of hell
gazing at those who were blind to
all the beauty that i see in myself
across the table is light
when he looks me in the eye
i can’t turn away
though inside i’m feeling the fight
across the table he smiles
i feel myself melting inside
terrified but i try
cause i’ve missed out on this my whole life
to avoid this feeling my whole life
it was always my job to inspire
those i never grew to admire

i feel myself melting inside
terrified but i try
cause i’ve missed out on this my whole life
started out early
no one's had more fun than me
the first to try anything
no kid ever out-did me
i bought and sold my share of trees
tripped until i couldn't see
danced until the sun came up
4am still taking shots
so many nights that i forgot
woke up my head in a fog
but now i wonder what i missed
spending all this time
all the time i spent drinking
all the time i spent wishing
for time
more time
all the time i wasted
now it's time to face it
that time is gone
i’m never gonna get it back
i fall hard and quickly
no one has loved more than me
a sucker for that first kiss
i know i’m the best at this
same women and with men
it all falls apart in the end
fights and nasty arguments
some that i wish i could forget
so much wasted energy
no one's been through it more than me
it always ends so bittersweet
mistakes all doomed to repeat
all the time i spent kissing
all the time i spent wishing
for time
more time
all the time i wasted
now it's time to face it
that time is gone
i’m never gonna get it back
i called him my kryptonite
nothing came close to our highs
so now ‘’m wondering why
we ever had cause to fight
willing to do anything
to make sure he felt like a king
but i had to let him leave
he was never promised to me
i lost the very thing
that i had tried hardest to keep
but not slow and painfully
i took that leap set myself free
all the time i spend with him
all the time i spent wishing
for time
more time
all the time i wasted
now it's time to face it
that time is gone
i’m never gonna get it back
no one's had more fun than me
the first to try anything

so much for my arts degree
at least i’m not out on the streets
i’m just here for the ego stroke
call me fine laugh at my jokes
new numbers up in my phone
but i always go home alone t
hey walk in charming and grown
but by night's end they're four years old
i’m sick of all of it
then i take a sip
another buck a better tip
i’ll never quit
no
i can't resist
it's too late for something new
can't tell the truth from an excuse
you don't know the things i do
all the things that i’m used to
i’ve invested all this time
these years just keep passing me by
swallow regrets down with rye
bitterness with A twist of lime
i’m sick of all of it
then i take a sip
another buck a better tip
i’ll never quit
no
i can't resist
multi-million meal discussions power lunches talking numbers
truffle suppers hendricks punches garnished with cucumbers
serve fake grins for big tips tons of tight faces fake tits
missed mad shows so i could pay rent no need to negotiate if this makes sense
yea juice worth the squeeze how much work will it be? hella pulp
of course yea it's all on me tap into my tchi who's he?
true breed new leaf
i yam what i am that's me bah oui catch speed thru
the dips peaks shifts weeks riffs beats
what it is, what it'll be can't resist
in cutting my own piece
peace!

no time to dwell gotta keep pushing on
never woulda planned it out this way
but i know there are no mistakes
prepared for everyone to let me down
but like a cat i land on the ground
over and over i’m reminded
don't need a thing from anyone
over and over i’m shown
there's no one else to rely on
over and over its more crystal clear
that i’m a tribe of one a tribe of one
from the day my life began
learned to be self sufficient
from teachers friends both parents
i learned never to ask for shit
i stand alone abundant in my strength
cause in myself i have the most faith

trying to set boundaries
but you make me weak
Every time you're near me
whenever you touch me
i miss you
kiss you goodbye
we know that it won't work
but i can't go on
listening to sad songs
and wishing i could be strong
all i ever wanted was for this single person to love me
there's little that makes me smile
makes it all worth while
and there’s only one thing that I dream
to be loved
by not just anyone
by the only one
to be loved
by not just anyone
by the only one
i could never could get it from
another day another hang up

day 21 it came to life
started to form left and right
before there were a pair of eyes
fingers toes ribs or thighs
this thing this thing
this thing inside my chest
so much to give away
so much to protect
from first time my mother ever kissed me
or inside of her where it started to beat
started out one perfect piece
eventually started to bleed
i may wear it on my sleeve
but don't give it don't give it up freely
i feel in all four chambers
there i carry hurt and anger
i go there to meet my grandpa
and where i go to talk with my God
this thing this thing
this thing inside my chest
so much to give away
so much to protect
from first time my mother ever kissed me
or inside of her where it started to beat
started out one perfect piece

it coulda been the best thing
(i woulda been the best thing)
with a different ending, yeah (i know i know)
there's no glory in taking it slow
we could both die tomorrow
and we'll never never never never know
never never never never know
someday i’ll see you on the street
holding hands with a straight haired girl who’s nothing like me
she’ll be well dressed in high heels
she’ll be polite and even-keeled
it took awhile to realize
you never saw me as your future
i won't replace my last name
i won't slow down won't be contained
keep these memories of our young wild days
admit to yourself you threw it all away
someday your memory will fade
you'll start to dig yourself an early grave
work yourself down to the bone
for your tidy big suburban home
you'll think of me from time to time
how we had such a wild ride
but i know you had your doubts
that someday i would wear you out
keep these memories of our young wild days
admit to yourself you threw it all away
all because you were afraid
i wouldn’t settle down someday
all because you were afraid
i wouldn’t settle down someday

all because you were afraid
i wouldn’t settle down someday
i know it's taking me awhile
the payoff will be in your smile
i don't know what you'll look like
or who will make you with me
will your eyes be green like my mother's
or will they be brown like both our father's
i’m not sure where you'll grow up
and if it's just the two of us
i’ll make sure you get enough
and you will have all my love
i know how much you'll change me
my priorities
can't do this prematurely
baby please wait for me
the payoff will be in your smile
i don't know what you'll look like

last night
i hardly recognized me
hungry like a lion
she felt the same thing
i saw
her lips shaking
eyes dialated
but i kept on moving
i know (i know)
it coulda been the best thing
(i woulda been the best thing)
with a different ending, yeah (i know i know)
there's no glory in taking it slow
we could both die tomorrow
and we'll never never never never know
never never never never know
last night
i wish that i could go back
to the very moment
she was wide open
where she
woulda let me kiss her
should have had one more drink
and then had dessert
i know (i know)
it coulda been the best thing
(i woulda been the best thing)
with a different ending, yeah (i know i know)
there's no glory in taking it slow
we could both die tomorrow
and we'll never never never never know
never never never never know
follow the head or go with the gut
at the end it's always if and or but
doing too much or didn't do enough
didn’t want to rush now i'm blowing her up
hit it like black jack and went bust
anti climax sidetracked missed the bus
tis the season for gang and puff
six months later buyer remorse look but don't touch
window shopper greener grass bubbly and robust
plush like velvet crush at first blush
blaze
now you pressed things flushed some nerve like kanye
there's no glory in taking it slow
we could both die tomorrow
and we'll never never never never know
never never never never know
i hardly recognized me
hungry like a lion

Come Again: The Eargasm Extended
it’s just more days more replays of
exactly the same thing
it’s the same stops on the same train
and the same people at every station
in their heads i know they wonder
is this the life i’ve been given?
they try so hard to be happy but
we all know it’s the opposite of being free
it’s the monthly low pay
always the same rate
no matter if i stay working late
clock out for my lunch time
spend half of it in line
fighting myself not to run away
i wish i could just hop on an express train
and play for the rest of the day
i wish i could just hop on an express train
and play for the rest of the day
it all starts with a swipe
and a stand clear of the closing doors please
good thing for this coffee
the night before was as short as they all seem
and the morning should come with a shot of morphine
everybody look a little offbeat
so i sink into my seat falling deep into my hip hop
i’m wondering if this is how it be and i wonder how it be not
so this is for the man who fell asleep and missed his stop
and this is for the young’n that had offered up a spot
and this is for the elder that accepted
while impressed with the gesture and a gracious thanks a lot
and this is for the shorty with the baby on her arm
the other lady with a stroller of her own
and for the student trying to enjoy a book in peace
while the kids are wildin out behind him jumping in their seats
we just trying to find relief
it’s the monthly low pay
always the same rate
no matter if i stay working late
clock out for my lunch time
spend half of it in line
fighting myself not to run away

i don't mean to alarm you like our time is running out
but it feels urgent to me so i’m just gonna say this now
yo i’m so glad i met you
grateful for every tear
every single obstacle
that lead me here
i’m so happy to touch you
can't believe that you feel it too
it may sound dramatic to you
but consider all that i’ve been through
i’ve loved and i’ve lost more
i’ve gotten used to slamming doors
been betrayed by my so called friends
damaged by both my parents
i’ve lived in so much misery
but these days i’m happy for weeks
you're like my muse my drug
everything i want from love
everything i want from love
everything i want from love
oh i could just die with your hand here on my thigh
it sometimes reminds me i’m alive
i don't mean to wake you but
i can hear you breathing
i’m pretty sure that's
why my hearts still beating
i promise to let you rest
but can i keep my hand here on your chest
don't think I can sleep without
some contact
this is second to none
i’d choose you over anyone
i hope you don't think i’m too intense
but consider all i've overcome
i’ve loved and i’ve lost more
i’ve gotten used to slamming doors
been betrayed by my so called friends
damaged by both my parents
i’ve lived in so much misery

i’m so exposed
you know just how crazy i can be
irrational
this is all making me
my heart on a string
when i want it firmly planted
you’re so beautiful to me
but so ugly when we’re fighting
when does it all get easy
the way my mama always told me
where’s the one she said would complete me
i love you hard and so deeply
but now you’re just making me crazy
over nothing
we treat each other badly
we’re both royalty
royalty royalty
you brought out the best in me
but lately you bring out the worst
in the mirror
not sure who i am anymore
did i really say that?
how quickly i am to react
my heart turning back
used to beat in living color
we’ve turned into enemies
how did we stop being lovers?

my skin's too tight and my eyes too dark
to be just a girl playing in the park
a dark shadow cast on my bassinet
no light for me to recollect
images of an endless sea
thoughts and sounds
swimming right past me
i'm free i'm free
i'm free
this is peace
it's just myself and me fighting endlessly
smothering in tears until i can't breathe
papa i beg of you don't make me go to school
too exhausted to try to maintain my cool
images of an endless sea
thoughts and sounds
swimming right past me
i'm free i'm free
i'm free
this is peace
what's a day feel like with some peace of mind
when i’m not fighting for control of my own life
it must be so nice in someone else's skin
is my answer to just take more medicine?

feels like my dreams are in the dark
the unknown paralyzed at the start
slipping through the seams
trying to find my way in the city
city lights got me thinking bout the thrill
the possibility of a deal
but i’m so lost
so lost cause i’m
no good at ass kissing
no good at politicking
i’m not sure i’ll ever
catch up with this city’s cost of living
is there room for an outsider here
not looking for a handout
happy to sing for my beer
i know my talent is a blessing
but i’ve got no damn direction
they sure make it hardest for an artist
i’m tired of bartending and waitressing
trying to hustle just to pay my rent
can’t get a loan to save the life of me
it’s obvious that i don’t have the means
no good at ass kissing
no good at politicking
i’m not sure i’ll ever
catch up with this city’s cost of living
is there room for an outsider here
not looking for a handout
happy to sing for my beer
i know my talent is a blessing
but i’ve got no damn direction
they sure make it hardest for an artist
now i know why so many people give up
it’s rewarding but god damn is it tough
we give all we have but it’s never enough
there’s no compensation for our labors of love
is there room for an outsider here
not looking for a handout
happy to sing for my beer
i know my talent is a blessing
but i’ve got no damn direction

The Eargasm
I love seeing streetlights turn to white lines through the window
they think I don’t miss them are they kidding they’ll never know
wish i could take them with me to the city where i had to go
i wanted to be a rock star it was so hard to leave home
look at me i’ll show you
a california tattoo on my right wrist
i got it to remind me
where i came from and i still love it
i’ll always love it
sometimes i get so lonely that i can hardly stand it
but i promised myself that i wouldn’t go home empty handed
i love seeing street signs sprayed with peace signs, protest flyers
some call us berkeley hippies oakland hoodrats i call us riders
from richmond to san francisco nothing’s equal as far as I know
it killed me to have to leave there i got work here in the big apple
look at me I’ll show you
a california tattoo on my right wrist
i got it to remind me
where i came from and i still love it
i’ll always love it
sometimes i get so lonely that i can hardly stand it
but i promised myself that i wouldn’t go home empty handed
i pick up my phone and dial 510
sometimes i just need the familiar
people i love have things to let me know
local politics and news of so and so
out here i get so lonely that i can hardly stand it
but i promised myself that i wouldn’t go home empty handed
so the sun keeps setting on the west coast without me
they think I don’t miss them are they kidding they’ll never know
wish i could take them with me to the city where i had to go
i wanted to be a rock star it was so hard to leave home
look at me i’ll show you
a california tattoo on my right wrist

i love my wife love my husband
love my mama love my pops
i love biggie i love tupac

a world full of people that i can love
and i’m so blessed to have more than one
This world is controlled enough

and loving you is so easy
looking at the beautiful smile on your face
and how you fill the world with beauty and grace
i love it when i wake up to the sun so bright
and bask in the glow of the moon at night
watching all these palm trees sway in the wind

from the gougenheim to the hollywood sign
and let love be the lifeline

it’s just more days more replays of exactly the same thing
it’s the same stops on the same train
and the same people at every station
in their heads i know they wonder
is this the life i’ve been given?
they try so hard to be happy but
we all know it’s the opposite of being free
it’s the monthly low pay
always the same rate
no matter if i stay working late
clock out for my lunch time
spend half of it in line
fighting myself not to run away
i wish i could just hop on an express train
and play for the rest of the day
i wish i could just hop on an express train

fuck the government
these lips have all power over me
within his eyes,
earth wind and fire
love land and sea
and these two hands
they hold the world
in all its entirety
i’m obsessed need to get lifted
i’m a mess, must be addicted
i’m obsessed, need to get lifted
i’m a mess, must be addicted
and fuck food
i need only live on his energy
if something’s wrong
i can feel the blood
drain from my body
but when we’re aligned
stars in the sky
they shine brighter for me
i’m obsessed need to get lifted
i’m a mess, must be addicted
i’m obsessed, need to get lifted
i’m a mess, must be addicted
fuck both our jobs
forty hours when
we should be free
what good is money
the only thing i need
his hands all over me
i’m obsessed need to get lifted
i’m a mess, must be addicted

yo you believe when they say we ain’t shit
like if we ain’t pretty we ain’t worth fifty cent
we don’t need makeup we still buy it
anything to make us lose weight and we’ll try it
white girls feel ugly so they go tanning
skin bleach is applied to girls with dark skin
this is a problem it’s not the answer
spending our money and risking cancer
we look in the mirror fresh out the shower
judging ourselves can’t see our power
crippled by the fear of rejection
we’re being led in the wrong direction
don’t be led in the wrong direction
don’t be led in the wrong direction
don’t be led in the wrong direction
don’t be led in the wrong direction
direction
the wrong direction
the wrong direction
yo you believe when they say we ain’t smart
and to get ahead we have to work twice as hard
and if we’re sexy that’s all that they will see
and with each other they want us to compete
skinny girls feel ugly cause they’re not curvy
thick girls feel ugly for being healthy
we go on diets while they get wealthy
a dress size will never make you happy
we look in the mirror fresh out the shower
judging ourselves can’t see our power
crippled by the fear of rejection
we’re being led in the wrong direction

i’m trying hard
to make this dollar stretch
before i’m tapped out
too scared of credit cards
judging my bank account
i’d only max them out
no good at ass kissing
no good at politicking
i’m not sure i’ll ever
catch up with this city’s cost of living
is there room for an outsider here
not looking for a handout
happy to sing for my beer
i know my talent is a blessing
but i’ve got no damn direction
they sure make it hardest for an artist
i’m tired of bartending and waitressing
trying to hustle just to pay my rent
can’t get a loan to save the life of me
it’s obvious that i don’t have the means
no good at ass kissing
no good at politicking
i’m not sure i’ll ever
catch up with this city’s cost of living
is there room for an outsider here
not looking for a handout
happy to sing for my beer
i know my talent is a blessing
but i’ve got no damn direction
they sure make it hardest for an artist
now i know why so many people give up
it’s rewarding but god damn is it tough
we give all we have but it’s never enough
there’s no compensation for our labors of love
is there room for an outsider here
not looking for a handout

i’m so exposed
you know just how crazy i can be
irrational
this is all making me
my heart on a string
when i want it firmly planted
you’re so beautiful to me
but so ugly when we’re fighting
when does it all get easy
the way my mama always told me
where’s the one she said would complete me
i love you hard and so deeply
but now you’re just making me crazy
over nothing
we treat each other badly
we’re both royalty
royalty
royalty
you brought out the best in me
but lately you bring out the worst
in the mirror
not sure who i am anymore
did i really say that?
how quickly i am to react
my heart turning back
used to beat in living color
we’ve turned into enemies
how did we stop being lovers?
when does it all get easy

since i don’t have anyone else
time to get to know myself
no one else can know my needs
neither did i until recently
i spent my time obsessed
longing for someone to love me
too damn terrified
of being my own company
lovers come and lovers go
but this one thing i know for sure
the next time when i’m with someone they’ll really be somebody
the next time that i fall in love won’t be just cause i’m lonely
time to get to know myself
no one else can know my needs

dear amy

and used the lines that you used on me
are you single now
or have a lady
if so is she a thing like me?
looking back in your history
where do I fit in how much did you love me?
i’ve moved on kind of not really
some days i even feel happy
but i hope i don't die before we
speak again meet up for coffee
you should know what you meant to me
what you meant to me
dear amy
are you still angry
last time i tried you wouldn't talk to me
i know i’m guilty again i'm sorry
out of nowhere you'll come to mind
sometimes i laugh others i cry
i recall our first kiss
oh how i miss that innocence
before the fights
and bitterness
i’ve moved on kind of not really
some days i even feel happy
but i hope i don't die before we
speak again meet up for coffee
you should know what you meant to me
what you meant to me
i hope i got your address right
don't feel any pressure to reply
just a few things that you should know
xoxo

i don't mean to alarm you like our time is running out
but it feels urgent to me so i’m just gonna say this now
yo i’m so glad i met you
grateful for every tear
every single obstacle
that lead me here
i’m so happy to touch you
can't believe that you feel it too
it may sound dramatic to you
but consider all that i’ve been through
i’ve loved and i’ve lost more
i’ve gotten used to slamming doors
been betrayed by my so called friends
damaged by both my parents
i’ve lived in so much misery
but these days i’m happy for weeks
you're like my muse my drug
everything i want from love
everything i want from love
everything i want from love
oh i could just die with your hand here on my thigh
it sometimes reminds me i’m alive
i don't mean to wake you but
i can hear you breathing
i’m pretty sure that's
why my hearts still beating
i promise to let you rest
but can i keep my hand here on your chest
don't think I can sleep without
some contact
this is second to none
i’d choose you over anyone
i hope you don't think i’m too intense
but consider all i've overcome
i’ve loved and i’ve lost more
i’ve gotten used to slamming doors
been betrayed by my so called friends
damaged by both my parents
i’ve lived in so much misery

so complicated
i don't have the tools
no one to help me
plot my next move
not ready to throw in the towel yet
don't want to look back with regret
then i hear my father's voice in my head
he never looked at me with judgement
he just left me with five simple words
baby don't sell yourself short
baby don't sell yourself short
baby don't sell yourself short
baby don't sell yourself short
when we're apart
life's more efficient
i work write and record
wash clothes and dishes
i function fine when i don't rest my mind
but tears are waiting to flow from my eyes

keep seeing the face i love to death
oh i’m sinking becoming powerless

we're birds of different kinds
some laugh and some cry
some run some walk
some pray some just talk
some live in captivity
mostly their own doing
too scared to fly
they clip their own wings
maybe i’m being naive
to want you in the sky with me
it's so beautiful up here
won't you come join me my dear?
though i miss you
and i grieve
i can't go back to how it used to be
may be easier
but so boring
look at me my friend i’m soaring
why were you so close
when i suffered most
but the more i thrive
you become a ghost
in thunder and the rain
you join me in my pain
but when there's a rainbow
you're the first to go
why can't you be happy for me
my triumphs breed your jealousy
i won't dip below the clouds
and you will never leave the ground
though i miss you
and i grieve
i can't go back to how it used to be
may be easier
but so boring

look at me my friend i’m soaring
my skin's too tight and my eyes too dark
to be just a girl playing in the park
a dark shadow cast on my bassinet
no light for me to recollect
images of an endless sea
thoughts and sounds
swimming right past me
i'm free i'm free
i'm free
this is peace
it's just myself and me fighting endlessly
smothering in tears until i can't breathe
papa i beg of you don't make me go to school
too exhausted to try to maintain my cool
images of an endless sea
thoughts and sounds
swimming right past me
i'm free i'm free
i'm free
this is peace
what's a day feel like with some peace of mind
when i’m not fighting for control of my own life
it must be so nice in someone else's skin
is my answer to just take more medicine?

Woah woah woah yeah yeah yeah

Woah woah woah
when i first saw you baby
i wanted to die
me and those dreamin' eyes of mine
started to cry then i dreamed
wishin' my fantasy
would soon become a reality
cause every time i see you baby
all I do is sigh
you're the most precious thing baby
that my dreamin' eyes has ever seen
so i continue dreamin
me and those dreamin' eyes of mine
is it just that you're the finest little thing that i ever saw
or is my imagination runnin' too far
is it that my eyes are tellin' me something you could never see
somethin' like me being with you and you being with me
ooh wee baby you've redefined my vision of love it seems
you will be the cherry in my chocolate covered dream
so it would seem my oh my
me and those dreamin eyes of mine
oh my goodness
here she comes
switching that ass
i wonder if the men in her past
treated her bad
if i had the chance
i’d treat her like a queen
just like I do in all my dreams
if you only knew how many times
that I think of you
i’m quite sure that you’ll find (i’m sure that you will find)
i’m going out my mind
my oh my
me and those dreamin eyes of mine
is it just that you're the finest little thing that i ever saw
or is my imagination runnin' too far
is it that my eyes are tellin' me something you could never see
somethin' like me being with you and you being with me
ooh wee baby you've redefined my vision of love it seems
you will be the cherry in my chocolate covered dream
so it would seem my oh my
me and those dreamin eyes of mine
Woah woah woah yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah
when i first saw you baby
i wanted to die
me and those dreamin' eyes of mine
started to cry then i dreamed
wishin' my fantasy
would soon become a reality
cause every time i see you baby
all I do is sigh
you're the most precious thing baby
that my dreamin' eyes has ever seen
so i continue dreamin
me and those dreamin' eyes of mine
is it just that you're the finest little thing that i ever saw
or is my imagination runnin' too far
is it that my eyes are tellin' me something you could never see
somethin' like me being with you and you being with me
ooh wee baby you've redefined my vision of love it seems
you will be the cherry in my chocolate covered dream
so it would seem my oh my
me and those dreamin eyes of mine
oh my goodness
