Self-consumed

SELF-CONSUMED

Download MP3

It just blows my mind time after time
when I can’t believe what you’ve done to me.
And you don’t even know that you’ve dealt this blow.
You’re too self-consumed, boy, to know what you do.

It just makes me sad after all we’ve had
that you don’t think of me or anything I need.
And you don’t even try to see things through my eyes.
You’re too self-consumed, boy, to know what you do.

And you’re intentions may be good,
you may mean the best for me.
If you don’t treat me like you should,
then it’s so hard to believe.

It just leaves me cold when I can’t be told
because you just don’t see how it will affect me
when you don’t even say where you will be today.
You’re too self-consumed, boy, to know what you do.

And we’ve been through this all before.
I told you how it just ain’t right.
But you continue to ignore
what I said with no end in sight.

It just breaks my heart and tears me all apart
when you won’t discuss something involving us.
And you don’t even get why this makes me upset.
You’re too self-consumed, boy, to know what you do.

You’re just too self-consumed, boy, to know what you do.

Words Get In The Way

WORDS GET IN THE WAY

Download MP3

Hey baby, do you like my jeans?
If you know what I mean, you’ll say you like my jeans.
Hey baby, are you giving in?
Because it ain’t no sin, if you’re giving in.

Hey baby, look at all the games we played.
Ain’t it time that you wiped these tears away?
Boy, you know that I’m yours, I’m here to stay,
but the words, well, they just get in the way.

Hey baby, no this ain’t no joke.
I’m not blowing smoke because this ain’t no joke.
Hey baby, are you feeling scared?
Weren’t quite prepared, so you’re feeling scared?

Hey baby, look at all the games we played.
Ain’t it time that I wiped your tears away?
Boy, I know that you’re mine, you’re here to stay,
but the words, well, they just get in the way.

Boy, I know it’s been a long time for you
and I know this ain’t your thing.
But I know with every cell of my body
that this should be happening.

So for every step you take,
I’ll take one by your side.
And maybe soon you’ll come to me
and everything will turn out right.

Hey baby, ain’t it about time you say you are mine?
I think it’s about time.
Hey baby, can we have some fun when the day is done?
Let’s go have some fun.

Have you ever seen forever lost in my eyes?
Have you felt them hypnotize?
Wonder why it should come as a surprise.
You feel my heart, but you know that words can lie.

Hey baby, I don’t want to wait.
It’s a chance I take, but I don’t want to wait.
Hey baby, this ain’t no mistake.
Yeah, my heart can break, but this ain’t no mistake.

Hey baby, look at all the games we play.
Ain’t it time that we wiped these tears away?
We both know that this love is here to stay,
but the words, well, they just get in the way.

They just get in the way…

When I Am Holding Your Hand

WHEN I AM HOLDING YOUR HAND

Download MP3

Well you know what I say to that my man,
you’re just a little too young so you don’t understand.
It’s not the girls that you’ve had or how long you can last,
it’s the way that I feel when I am holding your hand.

And you can buy me nice things like a night on the town,
and we can stay out all night till the sun comes around,
it’s not the money you spend or the things that you’ve planned,
it’s the way that I feel when I am holding your hand.

Maybe someday you’ll realize that
it ain’t all about the size
of your wallet or your automobile.
It’s just the way you make me feel.

Well you work out all day, spend your time in the gym,
you lift lots of weights, get really big.
It’s not the size of your pecs or the reps you can stand,
it’s the way that I feel when I am holding your hand.

When we go to the mall, you buy lots of new clothes,
you wear them so well, like a model you pose.
It’s not the cut of your jeans or the trendy new brand,
it’s the way that I feel when I am holding your hand.

Maybe someday you’ll realize that
it ain’t all about the size
of your muscles or your sex appeal.
It’s just the way you make me feel.

Well we know how it went, it went by so fast.
And who would have thought this wouldn’t last.
So if you’re wondering why it all came to an end,
it was the way that I felt when I was holding your hand.

And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,
I suggest that you spend some time being my friend
and remember that I really make no demands,
just the way that I feel when I am holding your hand.

That’s right, it’s just the way that I feel when I am holding your hand.

Bring It On

BRING IT ON

Download MP3

I told you once, I told you twice,
that I don’t need your bad advice.
I told you no, but you heard yes.
I just don’t know what you don’t get.

So this is how the story goes
and where it stops nobody knows.
I told you when you came along,
if you think you’re right, I’ll prove you wrong.

And if you wanna start with me just bring it on.
Bring it on. That’s right.
Yeah I said if you wanna start with me just bring it on.
Bring it on.

You say you know, but then you don’t.
You say you will, but then you won’t.
You tell me what I want to hear
just so that I want to have you near.

So this is how the days go by.
I want the truth and you just lie.
I told you how that don’t belong.
If you think I’m weak, I’ll show you strong.

And if you wanna start with me just bring it on.
Bring it on. That’s right.
Yeah I said if you wanna start with me just bring it on.
Bring it on.

I got no trouble taking you down.
I’m tired of all this fooling around.
You know you done wore my patience out.
So if you wanna fight, just start with me tonight.

I told you once, I told you twice,
I’m past the point of being nice.
This ain’t no joke, yes it’s for real.
Don’t you care at all ’bout how I feel?

So this is how you waste my time.
Ain’t there a law against this crime?
I told you who would come undone.
If you wanna play, I’ll have some fun.

So if you wanna start with me just bring it on.
Bring it on. That’s right.
Yeah I said if you wanna start with me just bring it on.
Bring it on.

Ask Me If I Give A Shit

ASK ME IF I GIVE A SHIT

Download MP3

Ask me if I give a shit and I’ll tell you I don’t.
Ask me if this will ever change my mind, you know it won’t.
If you ask me to compromise, I’ll have to tell you no.
I’ll look into your eyes and then I’ll tell you where to go…

So ask me if I give a shit, I’m dreaming of the day
when I won’t have to talk to you or even see your face.
If you ask me to keep it down cause I’m making too much noise,
I’ll laugh and then I’ll turn around so happy you’re annoyed.

Ask me if I give a shit and I’ll tell you I don’t.
Ask me if this will ever change my mind, you know it won’t.
If you ask me to compromise, I’ll have to tell you no.
I’ll look into your eyes and then I’ll tell you where to go…

Yeah ask me if I give a shit and my answer will be true.
I couldn’t care about you less or anything you do.
I see no use in telling lies, pretending to be nice.
If you were wise you’d understand, so here’s some good advice.

Ask me if I give a shit and I’ll tell you I don’t.
Ask me if this will ever change my mind, you know it won’t.
If you ask me to compromise, I’ll have to tell you no.
I’ll look into your eyes and then I’ll tell you where to go…
