[Verse 1] I can feel your eyes I can’t tell you no If our love can change I think you know we can't go on You can never know How wrong we can be It’s too late for holding on Say goodbye to what we knew [Chorus] When will I give you up When will you need someone new When will I give you up Don’t want to live without you [Verse 2] Things just went so wrong Every night I couldn't sleep I will feel so blind But if you ask I will say Now your life can go on We shouldn't keep holding on Just ask and I will say It’s too late to try [Chorus] [Verse 1] [Chorus repeat to fade]

Come on over girl, she’s not home Come on over girl, you knowwe can be alone Come on over girl, she’s got no clue And even if she knew that I’ve been untrue, Come on, what would she do? ‘Cause you know about me And she knows about me Every woman in this town must know about me I’m irresistible Just so damn kissable Every memory of me is unerasable It just goes to show, no matter how far I go She’s gonna take me back, just like that, ‘cause girl you know I’m irreplaceable Hop on in girl, let’s take a ride Hop on in girl, you know we’ll be looking fine Don’t worry about whose name’s on the registration, it’s me behind the wheel Don’t think about any promises I’ve made, just how I make you feel ‘Cause you know about me And she knows about me Every woman in this town must know about me I’m untameable Which makes me unblameable Can’t help if I get chased, ‘cause I’m so chaseable It just goes to show, no matter how far I go She’s gonna take me back, just like that, ‘cause girl you know I’m irreplaceable And this is our place to the right I’ll pull in, park to the right Head on in, turn to the right That’s all my stuff to the right And she treats me right And girl I’ll treat you right And no one’s getting left And you know why, you know why ‘Cause you know about me She knows about me Every woman in this town must know about me She lets me run free ‘Cause she knows there’s just one me She’s gonna take me back just like that, it’s not even funny ‘Cause I’m irreplaceable I’m irreplaceable You know about me I’m irreplaceable

Lyrics: stalking my prey altering worlds to your name i control what you see ill control what you'll be day after day ive seen all your patterns at play and i know where youll be and i know what youll think mesmerizing tantalizing cant take my eyes away analyzing all my findings data for another day my ambrosia your erosion breaking down your mind information my elation everything thats you is mine /everything thats you is mine/ theres no escape from a history you cant erase and i know how to use all the secrets i find try and behave or run foul of my dark conclave do you know that were watching your life pass on by still haunting you surveilance to put to review used to tighten my scheme and enrich my regime doubt what you knew beginning to question whats true seeing cracks in the seams seeping into your dreams

I’m in trouble Anyone can see The mockingbird that you’ve made of me Stuck on my own repeat I never could resist Someone to save Do I know broken From misbehaving Or digging a shallow grave You loosen my screws Bruises blooming Kept underneath I don’t know the use No one can give you anything That you don’t want No matter if you need I’ve been stricken With a sickening blindness Don’t sight a wicked deed From cruel kindness What we believe defines us You loosen my screws Bruises blooming Kept underneath Ooh I don’t know the use No one can give you anything That you don’t want No matter if you need To open me up And see what makes me tick Should have seen it coming I fell in love with your tricks Someday you’re gonna get what you ask for Someday you’re gonna break under your own Certainty that there’s nothing more to be Than a robber on the run without a friend or a home You loosen my screws Exploding apart at car crash speed Ooh I don’t know the use No one can give you anything That you don’t want No matter if you need

Lyric: You people are So. Not. Original. Here we go . . . First up? You mostly text about coffee: "I'm getting coffee" "u want sum coffee?" "how do u want ur coffee?" Then you text while you're drivin' into work: "Stuck in traffic" "Push the meeting back" "B there in 5" Then all the texts from the students in class: "3 is b" "Hamlet sux" "Mr. rattabee hates me" Then you text to coordinate lunch: "Meet @ chiptole?" "Who wants subway?" 'Course, right now, work is ending And so I suspect That all these texts That you're sending now Are prob'ly 'bout How you might be spending Your evenings: What movies you'll see Or what dinners you'll get If you get Your better halves to agree. And later still we'll get to booty calls. We'll get to hook-up requests (And all those eggplants), Then wrap it up with some drunk texts And pick-up requests. (We gotta get you home To do this all again tomorrow!) Like I said, You guys are SO not original, But that's what it's like To be me -- Your local SMSC. Yeah -- This isn't the prose That the pros Save on their Google Drives Or e-mails you compose With more attention and care. It's not even posts Like you post Over at Facebook. It's just throwaway thoughts. A morass of the mundane. So much abbreviated bullshit It could drive you insane. (And those ridiculous emojis Only add to the pain...) (But at least we don't have Twitter trolls . . .) All right -- Let's see what's goin' on . . . A text to Bob To pick up the kids From his wife, Who's running late at the gym. A lunch invite To "Chad-who-hasn't-turned-on-his-phone." Sorry, Benjamin -- Guess you won't be seeing him. This must be An auto-correct. Either that, Or you got "a penis in shoe." (A penicillin shot.) Emojis. Oh my god, Felicia, NO! Let it go. He is SO not into you! "r we going 2 c u at the bbbq?" (Yeah -- See what I mean?) An eggplant. 4 h4x0r 5p34k1n6 1337 DUDE! SHE'S ONLY SEVENTEEN!! Yeah -- Kim's been kind of quiet Since she sent that Final text from her car . . . Jamie's home now. What the . . . hell? But . . . Jackie. What?? "Love How's it going? I'm and cheese b a the the the name of seed and cheese b a the the the the name of series ur watchmen scary that the the name of series is that by side of seed and cheese b a the the name of seed in my car"?!? Okay. That's just . . . too much. Okay. Just . . . Okay -- Ev'rybody shut up! (Segue to Weird Al Yankovic's "Word Crimes.")

Verse1 You always let people push you around you never save your face. You’ve been used all over town You feel like a disgrace. It's about time you get even Just go out and settle the score All you need is a little vengeance That's what all your rage is for Chorus Try it once, what could go wrong? Take a chance, don’t you want to belong To the living You look like a fool so clean Working is getting dirty Verse 2 You’ve been bored with all the nice girls, You need more of an adventure You meet a girl that's out of this world She's starts tripping all your sensors You should see if she can fulfill All the dreams of your prescription You won't have to buy a cheap thrill If she's living in your fiction Chorus Verse 3 You should get up out of Salt Lake Take a trip to the sin city You've avoided any heartache By avoiding any whimsy Play some games of chance and risk Stay somewhere that's way too fancy Find the muse and steal a kiss Lady Luck might join your dancing Chorus

Today is today, it’s the day I’ve been hopin and prayin for Wow, the here and now, I got sunshine all over this heart of mine It was only last week, that we said “I do” Our friends were all there, and the family too But it’s important to me For the whole wide world to see We had a big old party, but it’s not the same So I signed us up for the Newlywed Game And today is the day we’re gonna play on live TV Today is today, it’s the day I’ve been hopin and prayin for Right, the spotlight, is shining down, excitement all around First question: “What color are her eyes?” I write down “blue,” but she looks surprised I wonder what could she mean And her glare is a bright green Second question: “Which one of her friends would you wanna date if you had the chance?” And I say, “Obviously I’ve got a crush on Emilyyyy” Today is today, it’s the day I’ve been hopin and prayin for Man, just like I planned, I’m a superstar, twice the man you are And now that I’m living all my dreams out this stage It’s time to make a small confession I know that today will end, we’ll turn the calendar page So I’m bothered by one simple question: How will it feel tomorrow? How will it feel tomorrow? The lights come down, I can hear the applause So we didn’t win the prize, that don’t matter because Today is today, All my troubles are miles away Walk out to the car with a spring in my step But somebody tells me, yo, she already left I’m sure she just can’t wait To get home and celebrate Today is today, if only for a couple hours, Whoa, gotta know, can it be this good tomorrow? Tomorrow? How will it feel tomorrow? How will it feel tomorrow? How will it feel?

We made a home on Yellow Brick Road Received our burdens and we carried the load We put in the miles; we lived 'em in style We rested on our laurels for quite awhile The kids are all grown; the flock has all flown The nest is empty and our time is our own So might it be time for partners in crime To change the scenery, to make it sublime? Don't you think that it's time we go for a ride" See things from the other side, try the things we never tried Hand in hand, eyes open wide We can go soon as we decide We'll pack our supplies; no need for goodbyes We're the only ones in charge of our lives I know it's still dark, but there's gas in the car And on the road we'll be wherever we are As soon as we're gone we'll turn the radio on Create a soundtrack for this great denouement If we're so inclined and sick of feeling confined Then let's take off, no destination in mind Don't you think that it's time we went on a drive? See things from the other side, try the things we never tried Whatever journey inspiration finds It's high time we made up our minds Ain't it time we made up our minds?

Verse 1 You are the star for which I burn A lesson that I wish I learned Before you walked away from me I guess I never thought you’d leave You’re warmth is gone my dear what happened to our love I fear I’ve done you wrong, it’s all my fault You've put These bars around my heart Chorus Yeah I think you’re a killer But you’re full of sunlight You may think I’m a sinner But I still call you mine Love I’m not a quitter I’ll sit here through winter Cause you’re my miss sunshine Verse 2 You won’t meet my eyes, no Can’t see the truth past my lies But our love means more to me This must be some kind of bad dream She was a mistake I wish I could take back I’ll regret it all my life I’ve done you wrong, it’s all my fault I’ll break These bars around my heart Chorus Yeah I think you’re a killer But you’re full of sunlight You may think I’m a sinner But I still call you mine Love I’m not a quitter I’ll sit here through winter Cause you’re my miss sunshine I miss your sunshine My miss sunshine Outro Trapped my heart behind these bars I wanna break free and now I’m Trapped behind these bars I wanna break out break out break out break out

I've been seeing this new girl, It's not official yet, but she rocks my world. I can see it in her eyes, It doesn't mean a thing when she talks to other guys. She digs my music and she loves my friendas, but she's been hanging out with Jessie and I'm making sure it ends. I'm gonna make her choose. My plan is well rehearsed. I'm not gonna lose, 'Cause I saw her first It's me or Jessie, It's Jessie or me. It's me or Jessie, It's Jessie or me. I'm not one for playing games, Jessie's growing a big head, and it's a crying shame. U hope she lets him down with grace, And if she doesn't, at least that'll put him back in his place. As long as I've got her, everything will be alright, she'll be lovin' me with that body by the end of the night Jessie will understand because we're in love I've got the upper hand 'Cause I saw her first. It's me or Jessie, It's Jessie or me. I don't wanna hurt his feelings, but I gotta make amends, I just hope that when it's over, Me and Jessie can be friends. It's me or Jessie, It's Jessie or me. Been using my best lines, and playing it cool. I know she only has eyes for me. I know that Jessie will play byn the rules, I just hope she lets him down easily. Gonna lay it out in stone. I'll bring it up as soon as the three of us are along This is how it's gotta be. She's gotta make a decision, and she's gonna choose me. I wouldn't put her in this position if there was another way but it's gotta be her decision, and I know what she'll say. I hope he takes it well I know she's wanting me Why can't he tell That I saw her first. It's me or Jessie, It's Jessie or me. I don't wanna hurt his feelings, but I gotta make amends, I just hope that when it's over, Me and Jessie can be friends. It's me or Jessie, It's Jessie or me. It's me or Jessie, It's Jessie or me.

hi what’s your name where do you live have I seen you before? yes, nice apartments kitchens built-in wide view from the window but the walls are so thin sometimes I hear shouting sometimes I hear fighting and I wonder should I interfere I take a glass and listen through the wall I hear the silly arguments the drunken brawl are you OK? is that a black eye some bruises are showing you look you want to cry you look so unhappy with no confidence full of shame who’s to blame my door is always open if you need to get away if you want to talk there is so much to say I heard you crying didn’t dare to do something is that good or bad would you like to get a drink

Lyrics: You'd have heard I'm the most I came a long long way here from another coast But I got into a bit of a jam with a man named Jim He's big; he's a beast Everyone here likes him the least But he's huge and he's tough and he's strong So I guess I'm asking Do you mess around with Jim? (Do you?) Roll a die, turn a card Pick up a cue ball and hit it real hard You may find when you reel in a fish You weren't even casting In fights, I know the game I've been a little bit everywhere With everything the same But there are some beef you don't want to start And that's why I'm asking Do you mess around with Jim? (Do you?)

This is the hard life No hint of luxury Learning to survive In a fixed society Turning diamonds into coal Papa, go back to sleep Let the covers keep you warm You don’t need to greet this dawn Papa, want to prove to you I may be young, but now the day has come to fill your shoes Papa, oooo, trying not to be too loud Just lay back down and stay at home with Mama be at peace, be at peace It’s your son’s burden now Sundown, my work is done Bloody blisters on my hands Muscles aching like a man Earned the coins in my pocket In my papa’s way It isn’t much, but it’s enough to eat for another day Papa, oooo, I just want to make you proud Sometimes don’t know if I could ever do enough Kid: Wander through the market, looking for some supper Merchants: Beware, the lad in rags, he can’t be trusted Kid: See, I have the means to pay, you need not be afraid of me Merchants: He’s causing trouble, rousing rabble, he is too young to know his place Kid: What does the world around me see? My caste is not a part of me Where can I turn, I’ll just keep getting burned And my heart getting hungry, growling at all the faces That turn me away Till I break And find that the key to survival is to learn how to take So I’m buying a gun to get by It’s your son’s burden now

Never thought I need someone, Thought that I was fine all alone Never wanted to seem needy I could stand, a man on my own Then I noticed you each morning Trying hard to not show you hurt Acting like your life was ok And your dreams were not in the dirt And I saw you, really saw you, Just like looking in a mirror, Seeing empty in your eyes And I want you, really want to Find a way to fill them So that you realize There is more that you could be and you could give I need you so that we both can learn to live. Come here, friend, there is forgiveness. In the end, all is atoned. Let your past be no one’s business These are the days when I take you home Every tear, a graceful prism. Look around, I lift you in height. Free your fears, be still and listen; I’ll be your path And you’ll be my light And I saw you, really saw you, Just like looking in a mirror, Seeing empty in your eyes And I want you, really want to Find a way to fill them So that you realize There is more that you could be and you could give I need you so that we both can learn to live. And I need you, really need to See you raised up high and happy See the light within your eyes So when you look at me Mine will be Just as alive

It’s our first date and we’re both trying But sparks aren’t flying You dropped your fork, I spilled my drink And now I don’t know what to think There’s nothing wrong with you You’re pretty and you’re smart But nothing’s coming through To set this date apart. You’re looking at your phone And when you look away I check my own. I think you’re okay I think you’re alright I don’t believe in love at first sight Especially tonight I think you’re okay I think you’re alright I’m not the type to fall in love like right away And now I’m thinking that you’re only just okay I think you’re okay I think you’re okay I think you’re okay On our first date the clock is ticking And we aren’t clicking I find it hard to talk to you And now I don’t know what to do I hesitate to try to Talk to you because Every exchange leads to Another awkward pause You check your phone again And I wait for the evening to end I think you’re okay I think you’re alright I don’t believe in love at first sight Especially tonight I think you’re okay I think you’re alright I’m not the type to fall in love like right away And now I’m thinking that you’re only just okay I think you’re okay I think you’re okay I think you’re okay BRIDGE I don’t know why I’m on the fence I don’t know why we’re going out I’m not sure what to talk about HEY HEY I think you’re okay Yeah you’re alright I don’t believe in love at first sight It’s dumb; it isn’t true I guess that I might I might change my mind It might convince me if tonight I dream of you If somehow I wake up and I’m in love with you It’s inconceivable today: ‘Cause I think that you’re only just okay. I think you’re okay.

The moon, like a tear-drop Is falling from the sky And the stars become detached Then settle in my eyes And the words, they've no idea They're still supposed to rhyme So now I'm finally thinking That this may be the time... To get out... Of this empty room Already too long abandoned This empty room Spinning me at random Now a flavorless expression In a world we cannot question Just a song without a tune This dark and empty room So we divvy up the props That made this stage a home And the laughter from the wings Still echoes, then it's gone From this empty room This empty room Already too long abandoned This empty room Spinning me at random Now a flavorless expression In a world we cannot question Just a song without a tune This dark and empty room This dark and empty room
