Letra
I wrote her off for the tenth time today And practiced all the things I would say But she came over I lost my nerve I took her back and made her dessert Now I know I'm being used That's okay because I like the abuse I know she's playing with me That's okay cause I've got no self-esteem We make plans to go out at night I wait till 2 then I turn out the light All this rejection's got me so low If she keeps it up I just might tell her so When she's saying that she wants only me Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends When she's saying that I'm like a disease Then I wonder how much more I can spend Well I guess I should stick up for myself But I really think it's better this way The more you suffer The more it shows you really care, Right? Now I'll relate this a little bit That happens more than I'd like to admit Late at night she knocks on my door Drunk again and looking to score Now I know I should say no But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go I may be dumb But I'm not a dweeb I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem - Gotta Get Away
Letra
I'm getting edgy all the time There's someone around me just a step behind It's kinda scary, the shape I'm in The walls are shakin' and they're closing in Too fast or a bit too slow I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show There's one guy that I can't shake Over my shoulder is a big mistake Sitting on the bed Or lying wide awake There's demons in my head And it's more than I can take [Chorus] I think I'm on a roll But I think it's kinda weak Saying all I know is I gotta get away from me I tell you something just ain't right My head is on loose but my shoes are tight Avoiding my friends cause they all bug Life is a riddle and I'm really stumped If you reason, don't you know Your own preoccupation is where you'll go I think I'm being followed, I look around It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground [Chorus] - All I Want
Letra
Day after day your home life's a wreck The powers that be just Breathe down your neck You get no respect You get no relief You gotta speak up And yell out your piece So back off your rules Back off your jive 'Cause I'm sick of not living To stay alive Leave me alone I'm not asking a lot I just don't want to be controlled That's all I want All I want How many times is it gonna take 'Til someone around you hears what you say You've tried being cool You feel like a lie You've played by their rules Now it's their turn to try So back off your rules Back off your jive 'Cause I'm sick of not living To stay alive Leave me alone I'm not asking a lot I just don't want to be controlled That's all I want All I want I said it before I'll say it again If you could just listen Then it might make sense - Gone Away
Letra
Maybe in another life I could find you there Pulled away before your time I can't deal it's so unfair And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it feels Yeah it feels like The world has grown cold Now that you've gone away Leaving flowers on your grave Show that I still care But black roses and Hail Mary's Can't bring back what's taken from me I reach to the sky And call out your name And if I could trade I would And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it stings Yeah it stings now The world is so cold Now that you've gone away - Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)
Letra
[German-sounding nonsense:] Gunter glieben glauten globen Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly For a white guy. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis. You know it's kind of hard Just to get along today. Our subject isn't cool, But he fakes it anyway. He may not have a clue; And he may not have style. But everything he lacks Well he makes up in denial. So don't debate, a player straight You know he really doesn't get it anyway. gotta play the field, and keep it real. For you no way, for you no way. So if you don't rate, just overcompensate. At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake. The world needs wannabes. (Hey! Hey!) do that brand new thing. Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly For a white guy. He needs some cool tunes Not just any will suffice. But they didn't have Ice Cube So he bought Vanilla Ice. Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass. But if he looks twice They're gonna kick his lily ass. So don't debate, a player straight You know he really doesn't get it anyway. gotta play the field, and keep it real. For you no way, for you no way. So if you don't rate, just overcompensate. At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake. The world loves wannabes. (Hey! Hey!) do that brand new thing Now he's getting a tattoo. Yeah he's gettin' ink done. He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31'. Friends say he's trying too hard And he's not quite hip. But in his own mind He's the—he's the dopest trip. Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis. So don't debate, a player straight You know he really doesn't get it anyway. gotta play the field, and keep it real. For you no way, for you no way. So if you don't rate, just overcompensate. At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake. The world needs wannabes. the world loves wannabes. let's get some more wannabes. And (Hey! Hey!) do that brand new thing. - Why Don't You Get a Job?

Letra
If you could only read my mind You would know that things between us Ain't right I know you're arms are open wide But you're a little on the sraight side I can't lie Your one vice Is you're too nice Come around now can't you see I want you All tattooed I want you bad Complete me Mistreat me I want you to be bad If you could only read my mind You would know that I've been waiting So long For someone almost like you But with attitude, I'm waiting So come on Get out of clothes time Grow out those highlights Come around now can't you see I want you In a vinyl suit I want you bad Complicated X-rated I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad Bad Don't get me wrong I know you're only being good But that's what's wrong I guess I just misunderstood I want you All tattoed I want you bad Complicated X-rated I want you bad I mean it I need it I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad Bad Really really bad - Defy You
Letra
You may push me around But you cannot win You may throw me down But I'll rise again The more you say The more I defy you So get out of my face You cannot stop us You cannot bring us down Never give up We go on and on You'll never break us Never bring us down We are alive! All my will All my strength Rip it out Start again The wind blows I'll lean into the wind My angle grows I'll use it to win The more you say The more I defy you So get out of my way Can you leave it all behind? Can you leave it all behind? Cause you can't go back You can't go back - Hit That
Letra
The winds of fortune Don´t blow the same She had to get out And make a change She had a kid now But much too young That baby's daddy's Out having fun He's sayin' 'I´m on a roll With all the girls I know' His baby mama She ain't so slow He's sayin' 'I´m on a roll With all the girls I know' I know you want to Hit That I know you want to Hit That, Hit That All the world is getting with I say Consequences are a lot, but hey That´s the way it That´s the way things go What was a family Is now a shell We´re raising kids now Who raise themselves Sex is a weapon It´s like a drug It gets him right into That grave that he just dug She's sayin' 'I´m on a run I´m chasing guys for fun' My baby's daddy It ain't his only one She's sayin' 'I´m on a run I´m chasing guys for fun' I know you want to Hit That I know you want to Hit That, Hit That Everybody´s getting with I say Consequences are a lot, but hey That´s the way it That´s the way things go Well then wind up Broken up, really such a shame But why not? Take a chance, everything´s a game And it don't stop Hooking up, nothing´s gonna change Well, the more he´s tryin' The more he's buyin' He says 'I´m on a roll With all the girls I know' His baby's mama Don´t need to know He's sayin' 'I´m on a roll With all the girls I know' I know you want to Hit That I know you want to Hit That, Hit That All of the world is getting with I say Consequences are a lot, but hey That´s the way it That´s the way things go
