We never spoke a word But every thought she had I heard from across the room We were standing face to face I couldn't find the words to say give me one more move I don't even know her name I guess foolish prides to blame Now I'm fall'n in love as she's walking away and my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say May have lost this battle, live to fight another day Now I'm fall'n in love as she's walking away Wise man next to me did say bout the one that got away "son i missed my chance Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase ask her to dance.... go on son you might fall down on your face roll the dice and have some faith" Don't be fall'n in love as she's walking away when your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say May have lost this battle, live to fight another day Don't be fall'n in love as she's walking away
If You washed away my vanity If You took away my words If all my world was swept away Would You be enough for me? Would my beating heart still sing? ... When my life is not what I expected The plans I made have failed When there's nothing left to steal me away Will You be enough for me? Will my broken heart still sing?
If we stand side by side (all night) There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright) And I'll know that you'll be live In my heart till the day that I die
Lean on me, When you're not strong, And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on. For, it won't be too long, 'Fore you're gonna need somebody to lean on.

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes I'm exposed And it's no big surprise Don't you think I know Exactly where I stand This world is forcing me To hold your hand 'Cause I'm just a girl, little 'ol me Don't let me out of your sight I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite So don't let me have any rights Oh...I've had it up to here! The moment that I step outside So many reasons For me to run and hide I can't do the little things I hold so dear 'Cause it's all those little things That I fear 'Cause I'm just a girl I'd rather not be 'Cause they won't let me drive Late at night I'm just a girl, Guess I'm some kind of freak 'Cause they all sit and stare With their eyes I'm just a girl, Take a good look at me Just your typical prototype Oh...I've had it up to here! Oh...am I making myself clear? I'm just a girl I'm just a girl in the world... That's all that you'll let me be! I'm just a girl, living in captivity Your rule of thumb Makes me worry some I'm just a girl, what's my destiny? What I've succumbed to Is making me numb I'm just a girl, my apologies What I've become is so burdensome I'm just a girl, lucky me Twiddle-dum there's no comparison Oh...I've had it up to! Oh...I've had it up to!! Oh...I've had it up to here!
I don't practice Santaria. I ain't got no crystal ball. I had a million dollars and I...spent it all. ...
I've been drivin' all night, my hands wet on the wheel. There's a voice in my head that drives my heel. My baby call said I need you here. It's half past four and I'm shifting gears.
Now look what someone did. Nobody told me there'd be days like these Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
Heard this on the IPOD this morning and immediately thought of Nova... I met her in a club down in old Soho Where you drink champagne It tastes just like Coca Cola, C-O-L-A cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice She said Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola, L-L-Lola Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine Oh my Lola, L-L-Lola Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man Oh my Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola Well, we drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee And said, "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?" Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola I pushed her away, I walked to the door I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees Then I looked at her and she at me That's the way that I want it to stay I always want it to be that way for my Lola, L-L-Lola Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up muddled up, shook up world Except for Lola, L-L-Lola Well, I left home just a week before And I'd never ever kissed a woman before But Lola smiled and took me by the hand And said, "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man" Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man And so is Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola
You went to L'amour Saturday night Red nails and lipstick dressed two sizes too tight His tongue down your throat His hand up your skirt Yeah I'm a man But it still hurts Slut Whore Cunt I know you're fucking someone else You had cock on your mind And cum on your breath Inserted that diaphragm before you left Practicing freelance gynecology Where there's a womb there's a way With you it's for free Slut Whore Cunt I know you're fucking someone else
