Can't Take Me Home

Split Personality

I I do not trust
so I can not love
can't no man be trusted
oh no no no
and I I would not dare to open up
this life of yours is dusted pink
well my rent's past due
and now my car won't start
I hate the bus
aren't you glad you have somebody to talk to?

tell me what do they see
when they look at me?
do they see my many personalities?
oh oh no

does anybody hear me
can they even see me
this is my reality oh oh

can it be my turn now
is it my turn pink?
said I'll say it again
you're my only friend
I protect you from the world
I basically protect you from yourself
though I can't go on
I'm not satisfied
with this being the end
this is just the beginning

tell me why can't I just reach up and simply touch the sky?
tell me why can't I spread my arms and fly and fly and fly??
tell me why can't I say this?
why can't I do that?
tell me what do they want from me?
tell me how to act

said can you help me
does anybody hear me

this is my reality oh oh

can you help me
does anybody hear me

so I'm putting it all on the table
you don't know me well enough to label me
sick or even disturbed
when you break it down
I'm just two girls
trying to blend, trying to vibe
trying to live just one life
everybody's got insanitites
I got a split personality

tell me why can't I just reach up and simply touch the sky?
tell me why can't I spread my arms and fly and fly and fly??
tell me why can't I say this?
why can't I do that?
tell me what do they want from me?
tell me how to act

Most Girls

I never cared too much for love
It was all a bunch of mush
that I just did not want

Paid, was the issue of the day
If a girlfriend's got some game
Couldn't be more fly, gettin paid was everything

But I'm not every girl
and I don't need that world
to validate me

Cuz shorty got a job,
Shorty got a car,
Shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it's not in my heart!!

Chorus:
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling
Got my own thing got the ching-ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
everything that I dream of
a man that understands real love

I was a girl about the floss
It was all about the cost
how much he spent on me

Seek, for a man who's got the means
to be giving you diamond rings
It's what every fly girl could want
or even dream

But I'm not every girl and I don't need no G
to take care of me

Cuz shorty got a job,
Shorty got a car,
Shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it's not in my heart, no-oh

Chorus 2x

(uh uh uh uh....)

I'm not every girl and I don't need no G
to take care of me, no
Cuz shorty got a job,
shorty got a car,
Shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it's not in my heart

Chorus 2x

Please don't come around talkin' bout that you love me,
Cause that love shit just aint for me,
I don't wanna hear that you adore me
And I know that all you're doing is running your mind games,
Don't you know that game peeps game?
So your best bet is to be straight with me

So you say you wanna talk, let's talk
If you won't talk I'll walk, yeah it's like that
Got a new man, he's waiting out back
Now what, whatcha think bout that, bout that?
Now when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
Whatcha' wanna say?
Had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay

Chorus
There u go, lookin' pitiful
Just because I let you go
There u go, talkin' bout you want me back
Sometimes it's bez like that, so
There u go, talkin' bout you miss me so,
that you love me so, Why I let you go?
there you go, cause your lies got old
Look at you, there u go!

There You Go

Please don't come around talkin' bout how you changed
How you said goodbye to what's her name
All it sounds like to me is new game
And I was right when I thought I'd be much better off without you
Had to get myself from 'round you,
Cause my life was all about you

Chorus:
So you say you wanna talk, I don't
Say you wanna change, I won't
Yeah it's like that
Had your chance, won't take it back
Now what, whatcha think bout that, bout that?
and When I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
Whatcha' wanna say?
Had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay

Chorus

Oooh, don't you wish you could turn the hands of time?
Don't you wish that you still were mine?
Don't you wish I'd take you back?
Don't you wish that things were simple like that?
Didn't miss a good thing til' it's gone,
But I knew it wouldn't be long
Til' you came running back, missing my love THERE U GO!!!

Chorus

You Make Me Sick

They make me sick
I know I feel you
thats why we need to stick together
yep,yep, yep
I know

~Chorus~
You make me sick
I want you and I'm hating it
Got me lit like a candlestick
Get too hot when you touch the tip I'm feeling it I gotta get a grip
And its, driving me crazy baby dont you quit
Cant get enough of it
You got me goin again
Baby, you got me goin again
You make me sick

He was doin 8 0 on the freeway
In the 6 double 0 bumpin Isley
He was gettin kinda close kinda touch-ay
Guess, he had a little too much Hennessey
He told me that he wanna go home
with me up on the hill to my condo
Told me he'd keep it all on the low-low
But I told him "Boo, I don't really know though"
He got closer to me... it started gettin deep
He had me in a zone when he started to show me things
I never saw before
Baby was cool but I knew it was game
Hell of a cool but you men are the same
The way he licked his lips and touched my hips
I knew that he was slick

~Repeat Chorus~

So hot n the 6 now, so hot
Had to roll all the windows down
Isley got me thinkin bout the sheets now
Wonderin should I really take it there now
He told me he would make it worth it
I'm thinkin, how many times have I heard this
Kinda funny, but I wasn't even nervous
All his slick ass lines were kinda workin
I felt my knees get weak...his body was callin me
Just couldn't take the heat
Anyway it was 2 or 3, I had to get out the streets
Baby was cool but I knew it was game
He was to smooth to be screamin my name
Even though we made the best of it
I still told him this....

~Repeat Chorus~

~Repeat Chorus 2x~

Can't... no no no no no no
Oh, you make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin it... hatin it... hatin it

Let Me Let You Know

verse 1
(one.... and two)

Dear baby, I'm not sorry
for leaving you this way
But I know I should have

We've always been straight up,

I'm leaving, say goodbye
Because I know what
you did last night

chorus

Let me let you know, yeah,

verse 2
One more thing before I go
I hope you feel alone
Cuz I'm definitely tired of
waiting for you to come home
(been waiting for you at home)
We've always been straight up,
so I'll just take what's mine
I'm leaving, say goodbye
because you hurt me
for the last time

chorus (repeat)

bridge

I'm sure I've heard
them all before
Time and time again
I told you that I needed more
now I'm walking out the door

chorus (repeat)

Love Is Such A Crazy Thing

I never thought I'd find someone
But you came along and made me see
That you were the only one for me
Boy, I love you constantly

BRIDGE:
You are my love
My only love
Baby, my heart belongs to you
Be with me
Don't play with me
If you want love just let me know

CHORUS:
Love, love is such a crazy thing
Never understood the way, I was supposed to feel
Is it love for real

Love, love is such a crazy thing
Never understood the way, I was supposed to feel
Is it love for real

I dreamed of someone like you before
But I never thought I'd get the chance
To romance someone as sweet as you
I hope you feel the same as I do

BRIDGE:
You are my love
My only love
Baby, my heart belongs to you
Be with me
Don't play with me
If you want love just let me know

Private Show

Silly you, silly me
To let you in and put a move on me
(Put a move on me)
Never once asked for love
Always took it for what it's worth, memory

See I don't wanna be on a lonely street
Where the talk is cheap
And the price is sweet
I'm not that girl
I'm not that girl
And you don't wanna see the other side of me
So I'mma hit ya off and I'mma set you free
Before you fall too deep
Don't fall too deep

He don't know
I'm gon be the one who's gonna let him go
Even if he wants to stay
I'll let him go
Cause all he wants from me is a private show, whoa

He's all talk
Thinks he knows
How this game is supposed to go for everyone
Still it seems he can't see
Thinks he's just using me, using me

See I don't wanna be on a lonely street
Where the talk is cheap
And the price is sweet
I'm not that girl
I'm not that girl
And you don't wanna see the other side of me
So I'mma hit ya off and I'mma set you free
Before you fall too deep
Don't fall too deep

He don't know
I'm gon be the one who's gonna let him go
Even if he wants to stay
I'll let him go
Cause all he wants from me is a private show, whoa

He don't know
Maybe if he wasn't such a gigolo(nasty ho)
I would let him stay
Instead I let him go
All he wants from me is a private show, whoa

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, he don't know

He don't know
I'm gon be the one who's gonna let him go
Even if he wants to stay

Can't Take Me Home

Can't take me home to mama

Stop Falling

I ain't looking for a steady thing
I ain't looking for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready babe
I'm still looking for some better days
I don't want to give you everything
I just want to make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away

Don't assume cause I'm a woman that I'll fall in love
Don't expect I'm young and need to be took care of
Don't wanna hear you've got what I need
Cause how would you know before we speak
You've got to understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
You better take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
If I get a feeling I won't let it start

I ain't looking for a steady thing
I ain't looking for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready babe
I'm still looking for some better days
I don't want to give you everything
I just want to make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away

Please believe me I've been down this road and back again
Learned a lesson and it was that love is not a friend
The day I put my trust in you
Will be the day I say 'I do'
Don't expect me just to open up
Maybe I'm just a little scared
Please don't tell me what you think I wanna hear
Oh baby save it I've heard it all before
There ain't nothing you could say
Ohhh to make me change my mind

I ain't looking for a steady thing
I ain't looking for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready babe
I'm still looking for some better days
I don't want to give you everything
I just want to make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away

So stop falling
Stop falling
You know you're falling, for me.
Stop falling
Stop falling.
Stop falling, for me

You've got to understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
Oh baby, take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
If I get a feeling I won't let it start

I ain't looking for a steady thing
I ain't looking for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready babe
I'm still looking for some better days
I don't want to give you everything
I just want to make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away

Stop falling, mmmmm...yeah...

Do What U Do

I like that though
That's what's up

Some people like the summer when it's hot

Some people like the winter cold
Some people speak their minds when they wanna
And some other people ain't so bold
Whatever it is that you do
You should do you should do with your head held high
So when you're doing you're thing it's cause you wanna
And they never can ask you why

1 I say
Do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
Cause it's your life
Gotta make your own rules
And you gotta do it, do it your own way

Repeat 1

2 - Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Some like it easy when others they like it rough


But ain't nobody gotta like it but you
Girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy
Whatever, you should do what you do
How can they tell you that you could or should?
Would or wouldn't
Well ask 'em can they walk in your shoes
Cause it's your life and you do what you wanna
And remember baby it's all about you

Repeat 1 (2x)

Repeat 2

3 - So if it's on your mind
Then you should speak your piece
And say what'cha say
And if you want it done
Then you should get it done
And do it your way

Repeat 3

Repeat 1 (2x)

Repeat 2 (2x)

Repeat 1 till end

Hiccup

chorus:

verse 1
you're like a cough on a rainy day

Is It Love

Is it love, or just a curse
do you feel good when i hurt?
i need your heart to open up
if this love's not real
then it's just my luck

verse 1
mommy help me, i need your help
this little boy took my love,
he says these things
that make my body bump up,
but then he runs
leaving me undone,
and i don't understand
for sex he said he'd be my man

chorus

verse 2
daddy listen, i gave it up
i'm not your little girl,
my cherry's popped
and all the trust, is missing,
but please listen
what do i do
i know you wanna hurt him,
but i like what he do
he's only doing what you used to

chorus

bridge
you never told me 'bout
the birds and the bees
or 'bout hide and go seek
or what he gets when he finds me
the biggest mistake
are the choices i make
won't you help me decide
what's going on in my mind

chorus

vamp
that thing you put on me,
it's got me so confused
won't somebody help me,
tell me what should i do
why's it feel so good
is it just a curse
will it get better, or will it get worse?!?!?

tell me,

tell me,
does it feel good?damn!
