Be The Man
03:36

|
Sometimes I wanna be the man
who breaks your heart and makes you sad
Doesn’t care about anyone,
just fucks around and has his fun
Cause it’s true
I got a thing for you
Wish I could play it cool,
but I always play the fool
And now I’m crushed
Yeah, I’m all fucked up
Feelin’ delirious
Is this love or lust?
I wanna be the man!
I wanna be your man!
I wanna be the man!
Sometimes I wanna be the guy
who takes your breath and makes you sigh
Brings you dreams, oh so sweet
Sweeps you right off your feet
Cause it’s true
I got a thing for you
Wish it was mutual,
but I always play the fool
And now I’m crushed
Yeah, I’m all fucked up
Feelin’ delirious
Is this love or lust?
I wanna be the man!
I wanna be your man!
I wanna be the man!
I don’t know who to be…
I don’t know who you wanna
who you wanna see
I don’t know who I should be
I wanna be your man, baby, oh yeah!
I wanna be your man!

Big Hang

Freddy took some drugs,
he’s been up all night
wishing on a star,
waiting for the sunlight
Floating ‘round the corner,
feeling so very light
His friends are coming over,
it’s time to take flight
Sunny’s got no money,
but he’s got a dream
He always feels like
he’s swimming upstream
Working all day,
he’s a modern machine
His friends will trick him into
blowing off some steam
Hey, blowing off some steam
Sandy’s got a boyfriend
who takes all of her time
Things were going peachy
till they had their first fight
Now she’s falling down the stairs
at the party tonight
Liquors got her in
for a real long flight
Gonna be a long night
Now the sun’s coming up
as Freddy comes down
Sunny got paid,
but he’s real burnt out
Sandy sheds a tear,
without making a sound
Without her boyfriend around
Without that dickhead around!
Hey! I wanna hang out…..
Hey, Hey, Hey! I wanna hang out!
Yeah, I wanna hang out!
Hey, Hey, Hey! I wanna hang out!
I wanna hang out
I wanna hang out

Cavities in My Heart
02:27
|

|
Remember,
cavities don't just happen overnight
It’s up to you to stop the decay,
before it starts...
I saw you out baby,
down at the bar
You were looking so sweet,
you left cavities in my heart
And woah, my heart is breaking
And woah, my jaw is aching
Even if my heart is breaking,
even if my jaw is aching,
my loves taken
Taken up by you
Hey!
Taken up by you
Hey! (oh yeah)
You think you know my life,
but you don’t understand
Cause I can take my time,
and find a sweeter man
And woah, my heart is breaking
And woah, my jaw is aching
Even if my heart is breaking,
even if my jaw is aching,
my loves taken
Taken up by you
Hey!
Taken up by you
Hey!
Even if my heart is breaking,
even if my jaw is aching,
Even if my heart is breaking,
even if my jaw is aching,
My loves taken
Taken up by you!

The Mirror

When I look in the mirror, tell me what do I see?
I think I see a figure standing right behind me
When I look in the mirror, tell me what do I feel?
All the pain that lives inside, I’m sure that nothing is real
Let it burn out, so sick of this flame
Keeps raging on, and on, and on, and who’s to blame?
Let it burn out, so sick of this flame
Keeps raging on, and on, and on, and who’s to blame?
When I look in the mirror, tell me what do I think?
I think I see my brains coming out, running right down the drain of the sink
When I look in the mirror, tell me what do I know?
Think of all the places I’ve been, I’ve got nowhere to go
I’ve got nowhere to go!
Let it burn out, so sick of this flame
Keeps raging on, and on, and on and who’s to blame?
Let it burn out, so sick of this flame
Keeps raging on, and on, and on, and who’s to blame?
X2
It’s all okay, it’s all okay
It’s all okay, it’s all okay, yeah
Oh I look in the mirror, I look in the mirror
I look in the mirror, and what do I see?
What do I see, what do I see?
I look in the mirror, I look in the mirror…

Checking Me Out
02:56
|

|
Checking me out,
Checking me out!
Sometimes I feel like working on myself
Always more about everybody else
What's so wrong with wanting to take time?
Why worry about what's inside my little mind?
Checking me out,
Checking me out,
I’m lookin' in...
Checking me out,
Checking me out,
I’m lookin' in...
Oooh
I’m lookin'
Oooh
Sometimes I feel like setting time aside
Always more about how I run and hide
What’s so wrong with wanting to take time?
Why do I feel like growing is such a crime?
Checking me out,
Checking me out,
I’m lookin' in...
Checking me out,
Checking me out,
I’m lookin' in...
Oooh
I’m lookin'
Oooh
Checking me out,
Checking me out!

Beach (On My Own)
03:34
|
|||
|
Sometimes I feel
like just doing me
No one’s inside
just sunscreen on me
I’m wondering where
the hell you could be
And can you forgive
can you forgive me?
Cause I miss you
I wonder if you don’t
And I would show you,
but I know you won’t
You won’t forgive me
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach
Cause you won’t forgive me
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach
You won’t forgive me
Sometimes the sun
is shining so bright
Reminds me of burns
that you left inside
And I think I could travel
so far and so wide
Seeing your shadow,
why won’t you hide?
Cause I miss you
and I know you don’t
And I would show you,
but I know you won’t
You won’t forgive me
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach
Cause you won’t forgive me
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach
……….
Fuck it, let’s go the beach!
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach, the beach, the beach,
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach
You won’t forgive me!
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach
You won’t forgive me!
Let’s go to the beach
Cause you won’t forgive me, yeah ohh!
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach,
You won't forgive me!
You won't forgive me!
You won't forgive me!
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach,
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach, the beach, the beach
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach, you won’t forgive me!
Ohhh! Let's go to the beach!
Cause you won't forgive me!
Ohhhh! Fuck it, let’s go to the beach
You won't forgive me
Fuck it, let’s go to the beach!
Fuck it, let’s go!
