So please don’t break my heart
Don’t tear me apart
I know how it starts, trust me I’ve been broken before
Don’t break me again
I am delicate
Please don’t break my heart
Trust me I’ve been broken before

I know I’m not the best at choosing lovers
We both know my past speaks for itself
If you don’t think that we’re right for each other
Please don’t let history repeat itself
‘Cause I want you, yeah, I want you, yeah
There’s nothing else I want
‘Cause I want you, yeah, I want you, yeah
And you’re the only thing I want

Gold jewelry shining so bright
Strawberry champagne on ice
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like
Sex by the fire at night
Silk sheets and diamonds all white
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like

You say you want a good time
Well, here I am, baby, here I am, baby
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Talk to me, tell me, what's on your mind? (What's on your mind?)
If you want it, girl, come and get it
All this is here for you
Tell me, baby, tell me, tell me, baby
What you tryna do?

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates, but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Oh, you know, you know
You know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searchin' for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother askin' if you look okay
You know I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

They say I'm too young to love you

I don't know what I need

They think I don't understand

The freedom land of the seventies

I think I'm too cool to know ya

You say I'm like the ice I freeze

I'm churning out novels like

Beat poetry on Amphetamines

I say

I say

Well, my boyfriend's in a band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rare

I can play most anything

I'm a Brooklyn baby

I'm a Brooklyn baby

If you go, I'm going too, uh
'Cause it was always you, alright
And if I'm turning blue, please don't save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby

Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather, might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better

And I don't know what I'm crying for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby, I

I'll love you 'til the day that I die
'Til the day that I die
'Til the light leaves my eyes
'Til the day that I die

I want you to see, hm
How you look to me, hm
You wouldn't believe if I told ya
You would keep the compliments I throw ya

But you're so full of shit, uh
Tell me it's a bit, oh
Say you don't see it, your mind's polluted
Say you wanna quit, don't be stupid

And I don't know what I'm crying for
I don't think I could love you more
Might not be long, but baby, I
Don't wanna say goodbye

I don't want this feelin', I can't afford love
I try to find a reason to pull us apart
It ain't workin' 'cause you're perfect
And I know that you're worth it
I can't walk away, oh
Lets go one, two, three, sing

(Even though we're goin' through it)
(And it makes you feel alone)
(Just know that I) would die for you
Baby, I would die for you, yeah
The distance and the time between us
It'll never change my mind 'cause
Baby, I would die for you
Baby, I would die for you, yeah

She Knows, she knows

Oh I, oh I-I-I

Alright

Oh I, oh I-I-I

Alright

[Verse 1:]

Damned if I do, damned if I don't

You know I got a girl back home

You got a man but you want, but you want

What these b*tches want from a n*gga

That's some DMX sh*t

I know them other n*ggas love tricking

On some BMX sh*t, but not me

Now I'm sure you done heard about me

A black star, Mos Def, Kweli

Good southern bad hoes try me, they try me

This is Martin Luther King in the club gettin' dubs

With a bad b*tch in his ear sayin' that she down for whatever

In the back of his mind is Coretta

[Hook:]

And she knows, she knows

And I know she knows, and I know she knows

And deep down she knows, she knows

And I know she knows, and I know she knows

Well alright

Oh I, oh I-I-I

I can't give you what you want from me

Well alright

Oh I, oh I-I-I

I can't give you what you want from me

Well alright

[Verse 2:]

Damned if I do, damned if I don't

I'm passing up on bad hoes, trying to be the man that she want

What she want, what she want from a n*gga

To put a ring on it

Got a b*tch on my d*ck right now

And she just want to sing on it

Got me up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie

I be up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie

Dance on fire, with my pants on fire

Cause I told her I was sleeping

Cause I creep with this pretty young thing I chose

That she could be doing the same thing I suppose

[Hook:]

And she knows, she knows

And I know she knows, and I know she knows

And deep down she knows, she knows

And I know she knows, and I know she knows

Well alright

Oh I, oh I-I-I

I can't give you what you want from me

Well alright

Oh I, oh I-I-I

I can't give you what you want from me

Well alright

N*ggas say turn up, hoes say turn up

Only bad thing about a star is they burn up

N*ggas say turn up, hoes say turn up

Only bad thing about a star is they burn up

Rest in peace to Aaliyah

Rest in peace to Left Eye

Michael Jackson I'll see ya

Just as soon as I die

Got me up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie

I be up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie

Got me up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie

I be up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie

[Outro:]

Well alright

Oh I, oh I-I-I

I can't give you what you want from me

Well alright

Oh I, oh I-I-I

I can't give you what you want from me

Well alright

And I thought my heart was detached
From all the sunlight of our past
But she's so sweet, she's so pretty
Does she mean you forgot about me?

Oh, I hope you're happy
But not like how you were with me
I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go
So find someone great, but don't find no one better
I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

And do you tell her she's the most beautiful girl you've ever seen?
An eternal love bullshit you know you'll never mean
Remember when I believed you meant it when you said it first to me?

And now I'm pickin' her apart
Like cuttin' her down will make you miss my wretched heart
But she's beautiful, she looks kind
She probably gives you butterflies

I hope you're happy
But not like how you were with me
I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go
So find someone great but don't find no one better

I hope you're happy
I wish you all the best, really
Say you love her, baby, just not like you loved me
And think of me fondly when your hands are on her
I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

I hope you're happy
Just not like how you were with me
I'm selfish, I know, can't let you go
So find someone great, but don't find no one better
I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

Whenever I taste it

Baby, can't you tell?

That you are the reason that I

Stay up all night long

Thinking about how soft your lips would feel on mine, mine

So come on over and we'll go

Supersonic overload

I'll be right here (I'll be right here)

I'll be right here (I'll be right here)

Never felt this way before

Day and night I'm wanting more

Oh baby, I swear

Oh baby, I swear

Oh, you got me infatuated

Just by the way that you move

That you move

No, nothing else could make me feel the

Way that your body ever could

Ever could

The way you walk with that confidence, yeah

And when you talk with intelligence

Oh my God (Oh my God)

Oh my God (Oh my God), ooh

You got me begging for you every time

The only thing that's running on my mind

Is you

Is you

So come on over and we'll go

Supersonic overload

I'll be right here

I'll be right here

Never felt this way before

Day and night I'm wanting more

Oh baby, I swear

Oh baby, I swear

Oh, you got me infatuated

Just by the way that you move

That you move

No, nothing else could make me feel the

Way that your body ever could

Ever could

Oh, you got me infatuated

Just by the way that you move

That you move

No, nothing else could make me feel the

Way that your body ever could

Ever could

Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired, lonely place

Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"

'Cross the room your silhouette

Starts to make its way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks

Like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is, I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up

2 AM, who do you love?

I wonder 'til I'm wide awake

And now I'm pacing back and forth

Wishing you were at my door

I'd open up and you would say, "Hey"

It was enchanting to meet you

All I know is, I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

That this night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying that

This was the very first page

Not where the story line ends

My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again

These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

I swore I'd never be like them
But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
And loving is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit me yet
The older I get

I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy
I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family
Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

I swore I'd never be like them
But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
And loving is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit me yet
The older I get

The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
And loving is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit me yet
The older I get

When you hold me

And kiss me slowly

It's the sweetest thing

And it don't change

If I had it my way

You would know that you are

You're my sunshine in the rain when it's pouring

Won't you give yourself to me

Give it all, oh

I just wanna see

I just wanna see how beautiful you are

You know that I see it, I know you're a star

Where you go I'll follow, no matter how far

If life is a movie, know you're the best part, ooh

You're the best part, ooh

Best part

It's this sunrise

And those brown eyes, yes

You're the one that I desire

When we wake up

And then we make love (Make love)

It makes me feel so nice

You're my water when I'm stuck in the desert

You're the Tylenol I take when my head hurts

You're the sunshine on my life

I just wanna see how beautiful you are

You know that I see it, I know you're a star

Where you go I'll follow, no matter how far

If life is a movie, then you're the best part, oh

You're the best part, ooh

Best part

If you love me, won't you say something?

Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-ooh-whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

You know you love me (yo), I know you care (uh-huh)

Just shout whenever (yo), and I'll be there (uh-huh)

You are my love (yo), you are my heart (uh-huh)

And we will never, ever, ever be apart (yo, uh-huh)

Are we an item? (Yo) girl, quit playin' (uh-huh)

"We're just friends" (yo), what are you sayin'? (Uh-huh)

Said, "There's another" (yo), and looked right in my eyes (uh-huh)

My first love broke my heart for the first time, and I was like (yo, uh-huh)

"Baby, baby, baby, oh"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, no"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, oh"

I thought you'd always be mine, mine

"Baby, baby, baby, oh"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, no"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, oh"

I thought you'd always be mine, mine

Oh, for you, I would've done whatever (uh-huh)

And I just can't believe we ain't together (yo, uh-huh)

And I wanna play it cool (yo), but I'm losin' you (uh-huh)

I'll buy you anything (yo), I'll buy you any ring (uh-huh)

And I'm in pieces (yo), baby, fix me (uh-huh)

And just shake me 'til you wake me from this bad dream (yo, uh-huh)

I'm goin' down (oh), down, down, down (uh-huh)

And I just can't believe, my first love won't be around, and I'm like

"Baby, baby, baby, oh"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, no"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, oh"

I thought you'd always be mine, mine

"Baby, baby, baby, oh"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, no"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, oh"

I thought you'd always be mine, mine (Luda!)

When I was 13, I had my first love

There was nobody that compared to my baby

And nobody came between us, nor could ever come above

She had me goin' crazy

Oh, I was starstruck

She woke me up daily

Don't need no Starbucks (woo)

She made my heart pound

And skip a beat when I see her in the street and

At school on the playground

But I really wanna see her on the weekend

She knows she got me dazin'

'Cause she was so amazin'

And now, my heart is breakin'

But I just keep on sayin'

"Baby, baby, baby, oh"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, no"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, oh"

I thought you'd always be mine, mine

"Baby, baby, baby, oh"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, no"

Like, "Baby, baby, baby, oh"

I thought you'd always be mine, mine

I'm gone (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now, I'm all gone (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now, I'm all gone (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now, I'm all gone (gone, gone, gone)

I'm gone

I will never not think about you

I will never not think about you

From the moment I left, I knew you were the one

And no matter what ever I do

I will never not think about you

What we had only comes

Once in a lifetime

For the rest of mine

I’ll always compare

To the room

In my heart with the memories we made

Nights on 5th, in between B and A

There’s no way I could ever forget

For as long as I live and as long as I love

I will never not think about you

I will never not think about you

From the moment I left, I knew you were the one

And no matter what ever I do

I will never not think about you

Didn't we have fun? Didn't we have fun? Looking back

Didn't we have fun? Didn't we have fun?

Didn't we have fun? Didn't we have fun? Looking back

Didn't we have fun? Didn't we have fun?

We were so beautiful We were so tragic

No other magic

Could ever compare

The day you kissed my lips

Light as a feather

And it went just like this

No, it's never been better

Than the summer of 2002 (ooh)

Uh, we were only eleven

But acting like grown-ups

Like we are in the present

Drinking from plastic cups

Singing, "Love is forever and ever"

Well, I guess that was true

Dancing on the hood in the middle of the woods

On an old Mustang, where we sang

Songs with all our childhood friends

And it went like this, say

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

When your close your eyes
Tell me what are ya dreaming?
Everything, I wanna to know it all

I'd spend 10,000 Hours and 10,000 more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there but I'm gonna try
If it's 10,000 hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (Ooh)

Do you miss the road that you grew up on?
Did you get your middle name from your grandma?
When you think about your forever now
Do you think of me?

When your close your eyes
Tell me what are ya dreaming?
Everything, I wanna to know it all

I'd spend 10,000 hours and 10,000 more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there but I'm gonna try
If it's 10,000 hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (Ooh)
I'm gonna love you

Ooh, want the good and the bad
Everything in between
Ooh, gotta cure my curiosity

Ooh yeah, I'd spend 10,000 hours and 10,000 more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there but I'm gonna try
If it's 10,000 hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (Ooh)
I'm gonna love you, yeah (Ooh)

And I'm gonna love ya
I'm gonna love you

Let the world burn for you

This is how it always had to end

If I can't have you then no one can

I'd let it burn

I'd let the world burn

Just to hear you calling out my name

Watching it all go down in flames

Fear in their eyes

Ash raining from the blood orange sky

I let everybody know that you're mine

Now it's just a matter of time

They say I'm too young to love you

I don't know what I need

They think I don't understand

The freedom land of the seventies

I think I'm too cool to know ya

You say I'm like the ice I freeze

I'm churning out novels like

Beat poetry on Amphetamines

I say

I say

Well, my boyfriend's in a band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rare

I can play most anything

I'm a Brooklyn baby

I'm a Brooklyn baby

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt

And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go then I’ll be so lonely
If you’re leaving baby let me down slowly

Sharks are the gods of the sea

But they lack some legs with knees

Give them some and let us see

How the world will end with glee

Now they’re coming, they’re coming

Sharks with legs (sharks with legs)

They’re not swimming, they’re running

Cause they’re not UNDERWATER

Don’t go hiding, they’ll find you

Sharks with legs (sharks with legs)

They’re adapting, they’re thriving

They can breathe ABOVE WATER

Give up now and let them take you

It will be your sweet release

It is such a certain breakthrough

That you will end up deceased

They’re evolving, evolving

Sharks with arms (sharks with arms)

Now we’ve fallen, we’re calling

We are not GONNA MAKE IT

Now there’s one choice: compliance

Sharks with arms (sharks with arms)

There’s an alliance with science

Now there are SHARKS WITH LASERS

Give up now and let them take you

It will be your sweet release

It is such a certain breakthrough

That you will end up deceased

Stay here one more time

Remind me what it's like, oh

And let's fall in love one more time

I need you now by my side

It tears me up when you turn me down

I'm begging please, just stick around

I'm sorry, don't leave me, I want you here with me

I know that your love is gone

I can't breathe, I'm so weak, I know this isn't easy

Don't tell me that your love is gone

That your love is gone

I'm sorry, don't leave me, I want you here with me

I know that your love is gone

I can't breathe, I'm so weak, I know this isn't easy

Don't tell me that your love is gone

That your love is gone

Don't tell me that your love is gone

That your love is gone

Don't tell me that your love is gone

That your love is gone

That your love is gone

I know this isn't easy (easy)

That your love is gone

Do I drive you crazy?

Have you been honest lately?

Do you mind me sayin' "I don't know how to feel?"

Is this love even real? I don't know

No, I don't want to be alone, it's making me sentimental

The feelings I can't control, it always just fucks with my mental

It's only you that knows, I guess that you're somebody special

But I don't know, girl, I don't know-oh-woah

Lately, I feel like I'm too attached, we're stuck in the moment

Not thinking 'bout how we move too fast

But I kinda like it this way

Who gives a fuck what they say?

It's you and me right now, baby (No-woah)

Can't even think, I've been losing track, I'm stuck in the middle

Start thinking 'bout how you do me like that

But I kinda like it this way

Who gives a fuck what they say?

It's you and me right now, baby, uh-huh
