CHORUS:
Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart
Everybody except 4 me
I just want a chance 2 play the part
The part of someone truly free
Like candle slowly burning, I can feel my world unravel
Hemisphere upon hemisphere lie beneath my soul, soul
My enemies kept it turning, but now they pound the gavel
And judging me accordingly, I know, I know
CHORUS
Hey! {x3}
Oh
Burning slowly candle, handle careless they did
Merrily down 3 heartbreak boulevards
Like fashion statements, they lie ";U be lookin' so good 2night, kid";
I do my best 2 party, it's just that everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart
(CHORUS)
Except 4 me (Except 4 me)
I just want a chance 2 play
(Just wanna be free)
Slowly candle burns, where'd they learn hypnosis?
How'd they keep me under 4 so long?
Break the bread I earn, just keep me far from closest
I need their kind 2 illustrate what's wrong - what's wrong?
Well, I'll tell U they just keep tryin' 2 break my heart (CHORUS)
They just keep tryin' 2 break my heart, ow!
I had everything I needed,
But now my life is so blue
You meant the world to me,
But now you're gone and I'm so blue
And even though the sun is shining,
I spend my day, I spend my day crying over you
I spend my day crying over you
I, oh I feel just like the sky
I'm so blue
Oh baby, don'cha know... baby don'cha know
I spend my nights all alone
Talking to myself
I am so blue
I never thought U would be the one
That IЎЇd wanna run 2
I never thought U would be the one
That would make me care
And even tho U done me wrong
4 some strange reason I canЎЇt xplain
I get happy knowing U phoned
Cuz your voice could kill my every pain
Why do we play this silly game?
I never thought U would be the one
That IЎЇd wanna give 2
A diamond ring, anything that U ask me 2
But there U were, bragging 2 your friends
Making up a story thatЎЇs so lame
That I was down 2 be your sugardaddy
One way ticket to ghetto fame
Why do we play this silly game?
Every other night U werenЎЇt at home
Out in the streets, just acting grown
Never with a bodyguard or chaperone
Then I hear a rumour that breaks my heart
Instead of taking care of yourself
UЎЇre tearing yourself apart
Now why U wanna
(Why U wanna, why U wanna ...)
Now why U wanna go and do that, love?
Why do we play this silly game?
I never thought U would be the one
(That IЎЇd wanna run 2) that IЎЇd wanna run 2
I never thought UЎЇd be the one
That would make me care
No matter how far I run
IЎЇll never be the same (IЎЇll never be the same)
Do it like she like, do it like she like it {x4}
CHORUS:
Do it like she like it
So your baby don't wanna sleep around
Give her what she want when she want
When it come 2 U, she down
Baby let me read her journal
Or should I say: she turned around and it was gone
The innuendo reads eternal
Or should I say: every other page I'm on
When she come 2 cook your dinner
U can ask her if what I say is true
The secret will remain within her
But her shade of red will turn yours blue
CHORUS
Maybe U recall last summer
When U saw her ridin' in my car
A kiss or 2 later she was back in your bed
Smellin' like a fallen star
Just because she's fine
U think she don't wine & dine with everyone U know
Oh, long as U're fooled, I'm cool
She says she gonna put me in a video
U need 2...
CHORUS
Oh yeah!
Sleep around, sleep around {x2}
I'm the one who sent the herbs and a book on how 2 use them
I'm the one who pointed out her fears and how 2 lose them
And if a difference love will make
This advice U oughta take
Baby let me read her journal
Or should I say: she turned around and it was gone
The innuendo reads eternal
Or should I say: every other page I'm on
U need 2...
Do it like she like, do it like she like it (Sleep around) {x3}
Do it like she like it, like it, like it...
Do it like she like it
So your baby don't wanna sleep around
Give her what she want when she want it
When it come 2 U, she down
Sleep around, sleep around
Do it like she like it
So your baby don't wanna sleep around
(I'm watchin' U, baby) (Do it like she like it, do it)
After a month of just bein' alone he said, ";I wonder what L.A.'s thinkin'";
Streets he roamed in search of a poem amongst the wild and drinkin'
When he sees cool dark skin in hot virgin white
The search was over at least 4 2night
When she co-signed and then told him she was ...
CHORUS:
Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white
Shy - Lips say won't but her body say might
Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night
Oh baby (Shy)
After a look much louder than words she said, ";I passed my initiation
A friend of mine, he got killed and in retaliation
I shot the boy (";Pop! Pop!";), huh, twice in the head
No regrets, no sorrow - I'm goin' back 2morrow 2 make sure he's dead
Cuz if I don't, they'll call me a chicken, but U can call me ... ";
CHORUS
Shy
Shy - Lips say no but the body say might
Looks like we're gonna take the long way home..
Looks like we're gonna take the long way home..
Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night
The girl was rough, but he called her bluff
And he told her not 2 know was better
Fact or fiction he wondered
And that's when the rain and thunder got wetter
And at the top of the page he wrote ...
Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white
Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night
I was only 16 but I guess that's no excuse
My sister was 32, lovely, and loose
She don't wear no underwear
She says it only gets in her hair
And it's got a funny way of stoppin' the juice
My sister never made love to anyone else but me
She's the reason for my, uh, sexuality
She showed me where it's supposed to go
A blow job doesn't mean blow
Incest is everything it's said to be
Oh, sister
Don't put me on the street again
Oh, sister
I just want to be your friend
I was only 16 and only half a man
My sister didn't give a goddamn
She only wanted to turn me out
She [took a whip to] me until I shout
";Oh, [motherfuckersjustamotherfucker]
The lights go out
The smell of doom
Again is creepin' into your lonely room
Is this a dream
Or is this real (Or is this real)
Or is this just a mirage you feel
Shockadelica Shockadelica
Shockadelica
She must be witch
She got your mind, body, and soul hitched
Shockadelica
You need a second opinion
She never wears a stitch
You can't take her home
Shockadelica
She got you in a trance
When this girl say dance
Baby, baby, baby, you dance (Shockadelica)
You dance, you dance, you dance, you dance, you...
Shockadelica (She must be a witch) {Yeah}
Shockadelica (She got my mind, body, and soul hitched)
Shockadelica (I need a second, I need a second opinion)
Shockadelica (I just can't leave here alone)
oh yeah
In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun
Time, time
Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
U turn on the telly and every other story
Is tellin' U somebody died
Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it
And we're sending people 2 the moon
In September my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June
Times, times
It's silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies
Oh why
Time, time
Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times
It's silly, no?
When a rocket blows
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly
Until a man truly dies
whenever I feel like givin' up
Whenever my sunshine turns 2 rain
Whenever my hopes and dreams
Are aimed in the wrong direction
She's always there
Tellin' me how much she cares
She's always in my hair
She's always in my hair
My hair
Whenever I feel like not 2 great at all
Whenever I'm all alone
And even if I hit the wrong notes
She's always in my boat
She's always there
Tellin' me how much she cares
She's always in my hair
She's always in my hair
My hair
Maybe I'll marry her (Maybe I'll marry her)
Maybe I won't (Maybe I won't)
Maybe I will not (Maybe I will not)
Lemme tell ya (Even if I was a gigolo)
If I was a gigolo all my life (All my life)
She'd still be there (She'd still be there)
Tellin' me just how much she really cares (She cares)
She's always in my hair
She's always in my hair
My hair
Listen
Whenever I feel like givin' up
Whenever my sunshine turns 2 rain
So U thought U just might lose your mind 2day
Brother pushin' that game on ya as if U wanna play
Askin' U every other sentence if them titties are real
One tramp even had the nerve 2 touch 'em as if U wanted a feel
The money that U make ain't payin' the rent, so U sleep in cars
U wonder aloud if U're happy - U say, ";Yea,"; as if U really are
This car U drive with no gas won't take U very far
U look up in the sky and wish upon a star (Upon a star)
CHORUS
The answer 2 the question of life is a gray-haired bitch at least
Suckin' on the ebony dancer in between these dirty sheets
Spittin' out the aftertaste of a boy who might not call again
If this is the game U stood in line 4 ЁC how're U gonna win?
(How're U gonna win?)
Shoo-bed-ooh, shoo-bed-ooh, ooh!
So U thought he just might come every time U phone
As if U've never been lonely as if U've never been alone
(As if U've never been alone)
How U ever gonna win if U let 'em all see your hand?
Playin' the queen don't work on your knees as if U understand
CHORUS {x2}
The answer 2 the question of life is a gray-haired bitch at least
Suckin' on the ebony dancer in between these dirty sheets
Spittin' out the aftertaste of a boy who might not call again
