Macy Gray - I Try

Macy Gray - I Try

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that faith
Has brought us here
And we should be together, babe
But we're not

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm feigning

[chorus]
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front, just a front

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm feigning

[chorus]
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Here is my confession
May I be your possession
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might, I try
But this I can't deny, deny

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm feigning

[chorus]
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

R.E.M. - It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

R.E.M. - It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, don't miserve your own needs
speed it up a notch, speak, grunt, no strength
The ladder start to clatter with fear of height, down height
Wire in a fire representing seven games
And a government for hire at a combat site
Left her wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
Breathing down your neck
Team by team reporters, baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine then
Uh-oh, overflow population, common group
But it'll do to save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat
tell me with a rapture and the reverend and the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

Six o'clock T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign towers
Slash and burn, return. listen to yourself churn
Lock it in, uniforming, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh
This means no fear cavalier, renegade, steer clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions and offer me alternatives, and I decline

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine, I fee fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, bug net, right, right

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine, fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end....

Natasha Bedingfield - These Words

Natasha Bedingfield - These Words

These words are my own

Threw some chords together, the combination D-E-F
Its who I am, its what I do, and I was gonna lay it down for you
I tried to focus my attention, but I feel so A-D-D
I need some help, some inspiration, but its not coming easily

Tryin to find the magic,
Tryin to write a classic,
Dontcha know, dontcha know, dontcha know?
Wastebin full of paper,
clever rhymes- see ya later

These words are my own, from my heart flow,
I love you, i love you, i love you, i love you,
There's no other way to better say
I love you, i love you

Read some Byron Shelley and Keates,
recited it over a hip-hop beat
I'm havin trouble sayin what i mean,
with dead poets and a drum machine

You know i had some studio time booked,
but i couldnt find the killer hook,
now you're gonna raise the bar right up,
nothin i write is ever good enough

These words are my own, from my heart flow,
I love you, i love you, i love you, i love you,
There's no other way to better say
I love you, i love you

These words are my own, from my heart flow,
I love you, i love you, i love you, i love you,
There's no other way to better say
I love you, i love you

I'm gettin off my stage
the curtains pull away
No hyperboles to hide behind
My naked soul exposes
woaaaaah

Tryin to find the magic,
Tryin to write a classic,
Wastebin full of paper,
clever rhymes- see ya later

These words are my own, from my heart flow,
I love you, i love you, i love you, i love you,
There's no other way to better say
I love you, i love you

These words are my own, from my heart flow,
I love you, i love you, i love you, i love you,
There's no other way to better say
I love you, i love you

These words are my own, from my heart
I love you I love you, thats all i got to say
cant think of a better way, and thats all i got to say
I love you, is that ok?

Fightin' tears just to carry on

Carolina sits on ninety five
Give her a dollar and she'll make you smile
Hook her, book her, nook her
Walk away!

Girl dresses like a kid for fun
Licks her lips like they're something other
She tries to tell you life has just begun
Now you know she's getting something other
Than the love from her mother

Everybody's gonna love today, love today, love today
Everybody's gonna love today
Any way you want to
Any way you've got to
Love love me, love love me, love love

Girl in the blue with the big bust on, big bust on, big bust on

John Mayer - Daughters

John Mayer - Daughters

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
