Hello

Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello) {x2}

I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing
But I'd gladly write a song instead
They said OK and everything was cool
Till a camera tried 2 get in my bed (Hello)
My bed (Hello) (Hello)

I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling")
When this man tries 2 get in the car
("Hey Prince, come on, give us a smile, eh?")
No introduction, "How've U been?"
Just - "Up yours! Smile, that's right, U're a star!" (Star)

U call 'em bodyguards but I call 'em my friends
I guess I'm used 2 havin' 'em around
And cameras by nature like rewards
That's the trouble I get when I'm Uptown

I'm not afraid 2 die cuz I know there's a better place 2 go
(Don't be afraid cuz there's a better place 2 go)
I eat what I want, whole wheat toast
(U can eat what U want, anything is cool in moderation)
And I'm happy, and that's 4 sure

We're against hungry children, our record stands tall
But there's just as much hunger here at home
We'll do what we can if y'all try 2 understand
A flower that has water will grow
And a child misunderstood will go
Hello! {x3}
(Hello)

Everybody
We're against hungry children, our record stands tall
But there's just as much hunger here at home
We'll do what we can if y'all try 2 understand
A flower that has water will grow
And the child misunderstood will go
Our record stand tall, U know
Give us time and love will show
Hello! {x3}

Horny Toad

Yeah!

If I had your number
I'd call U on the phone
I'd breathe real heavy, if that didn't work
Maybe I'd start 2 groan
I don't love U
I'm just a horny toad

I don't want your money
Cuz I got all I need
All I want is 2 rub your body
Until U start 2 bleed
I don't love U
I'm just a horny toad

Ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh

If I had your address
I'd come right 2 your door
I'd knock all day till U let me in
And then I'd knock some more
I ain't crazy
I'm just a horny toad

If U think I'm nasty
U ain't seen nothin' yet
U see, I'm the kinda brother that the more U scream
The nastier I get
I can't help it
I'm just a horny toad

Now watch me dance!
Oh, oh, oh

Run, go tell your boyfriend
His lovin' has got 2 old
He might as well pack his things
And get his dead ass on the road
Tell him U live on a lily pad with a horny toad
Yeah!

I Love U In Me

She took off her dress and I took a peek
While thunderstorm played hide 'n' seek
I begged 4 a kiss, she gave me 7
Our lips touched and it feel like heaven

CHORUS:
Everything I want is what she does 2 me
She don't blush cuz she's so damn free
When she makin' love, it's like surgery
And she say - "Ooh, I love U in me"

"I love..."

I promise myself not 2 come until she does
Then she took both hands and a liar I was
No man in this world could ever hope 2 last
When my baby downshifts and starts pumpin' fast

CHORUS

"I love U, I love U in me"

Our bodies sink in a pool of sweat
It's the kinda love that U never forget (Yeah)
With U honey, I'm the richest in the world (So rich)

Oh yeah!
Yeah!
Looka here

The lights go out, the smell of doom
Is creepin' into your lonely room
The bed's on fire, your fate is sealed
And U're so tired and the reason is Camille-mille

Shockadelica - The girl must be a witch
She got your mind, body, and soul hitched
Shockadelica - U need a second opinion, but she never wears a stitch
So U can't take her home

She got U tied with a golden rope
She won't let U play your guitar
And when U've cried enough
Maybe she'll let U up 4 a nasty ride in her shockadeli-car

She'll make U beg her ("Please girl")

Shockadelica - She got U in a trance
Cuz when this woman say dance, U dance
Shockadelica - U need a second opinion, but U just can't leave her alone
With her U got no mind of your own

Shockadelica, Shockadelica
Doo bee, doo bee, doo bee, yeah!
Shockadelica, Shockadelica

Or is this just a mirage U feel?

Irresistable Bitch

Turn it down a little

Every Friday night I call your butt up on the phone
A deeper voice answers and says U're not at home
Now if U think that I'm a fool who'll go 4 any line
Then honey, put down all your money, U win every time Irresistible bitch - I love the way U walk
Irresistible bitch - I love the way U talk
Irresistible bitch - And I really dig the way U kiss
Irresistible - Oh mama, I wish I could resist

All my partners ask me why I take so much abuse
Why am I so faithful, honey? Why are U so loose?
They say why am I the one who never gets 2 take U home?
But they don't know the things U do 2 me when we're alone

Irresistible bitch - I love the way U walk
Irresistible bitch - I love the way U talk
Irresistible bitch - I really dig the way U kiss
Irresistible - Oh mama, I wish I could resist
Hurt me, hurt me!

Oh, ho, ho, ho {x2}

Stole all my honey
Played it off like it was a joke
If stealing all my honey, baby, keep U by my side
Bleed me till I'm broke

Hell if I know why I let U drive my car
Don't I know that walkin' won't get me very far?
Sure, I know that cryin' over U is just in vain
But all things I lose don't add up 2 all the things I gain (Ooh)

Irresistible bitch - I love the way U walk
Irresistible bitch - I love the way U talk
Irresistible bitch - And I really dig the way U kiss, ain't it a shame?
Irresistible - Mama, mama, I wish I could re...
Hurt me!

Oh, ho, ho, ho {x2}

Stole all my honey
Played it off like it was a joke
Stealing all my honey, baby, keep U by my side
Bleed me till I'm broke

Everybody, everybody dance, everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody dance, everybody (Oh, ho, ho, ho)

Scarlet Pussy

Once upon a time in the Land of Fever
There lived a scarlet pussy
This kitty cat of fine descent was cherished by her mother
Who wouldn't let another pet her
Unless he was qualified
Every first of the month this pretty feline got the hots
And that's when the neighborhood d-d-dogs
They'd line up around the block
Meow!

When my little scarlet feline roars
The locals come around (Come around)
When they see the scarlet light
They know it's time 2 come chase her down (Chase her down)

Lo and behold - the fantastical way in which their bodies groove
My Scarlet Pussy's furry magic alters any mood (Scarlet Pussy, hey)
It's cool (Scarlet Pussy, yeah)
Ahh, pussycat, pussycat - wherefore art thou, puppy?

CHORUS:
She can make U crazy if U're 2 close 2 her heat
She can make U sad when U're happy as can be
She can make U shoot your ego all over her sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little Scarlet Pussy

Every dog would try his lines 2 get Pussy's attention (Hey, baby!)
All they want is so exposed in ways 2 gross 2 mention (Eew!)
Green virgin teenager or filthy rich yuppie?
Pussycat, pussycat - wherefore art thou, puppy?
(Scarlet Pussy)

She can make U crazy if U're 2 close 2 her heat
She can make U sad when U're happy as can be
She can make U shoot your ego all over your sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little Scarlet Pussy

Meow {x2}
Now what's going on?
I don't know, man, look out!
Somebody come get this meow-meow off my leg! (Purr)
Meow! (Hiss hiss!)

Scarlet Pussy
Pussycat, pussycat - wherefore art thou, puppy?
Meow

CHORUS

All is hers in love and war, my little Scarlet Pussy

She can make U happy, she can make U sad
She can make U crazy (Crazy)
She can make U shiver from your head down 2 your feet
She can make U shoot your ego all over her sheets (Oh!)

La La La, He He Hee

Oh, oh, oh, oh! {represents dog barks}

I am a dog outside your door
I have been there since a quarter 2 4
U are a cat looking intense
I bite your leg in self-defense

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Get out my tree grinnin' at me
Licking your tail like it's cream
Strokin' your whiskers, causing a scene
That's not the way 2 me (the way 2 me)

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

CHORUS:
And the doggies say 2 the kitty
La, la, la, he, he, hee
I want U, U want me
Oh, how sexy it will be
If we ever get 2gether in my tree

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Hey little pussy, U sure look sweet
Knockin' me off of my 4 feet
Sure do wish dogs could climb (I wish, I wish)
Then we could have a funky good time Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Say it again! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Why U wink at me? I don't really see
Nasty little cat up, up in a tree
Is it really worth the one night of fun?
U've got 9 lives, I've only got one!

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

CHORUS

I'm picking up your scent {fade out}

She's Always In My Hair

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

17 Days

I called U yesterday, U didn't answer your phone
The main drag is knowing that U probably weren't alone
So here I sit in my lonely room lookin' 4 my sunshine
But all I've got is 2 cigarettes and this broken heart of mine

CHORUS:
So let the rain come down, the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down, the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

U've been gone 17 days and 17 long nights
The main drag is knowing that U're holding someone else tight
I wanna call U every day and beg U 2 be near me
But I know your head is under water, I doubt that U could hear me

CHORUS

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
17 days
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
17 days

I called U yesterday
U didn't answer your phone
Yet, U're the one who's always lonely
But I'm the one who's always alone

Here I sit in my lonely room lookin' 4 my sunshine
All I've got is 2 cigarettes and this broken heart of mine

CHORUS {repeat}

Why don't U answer your phone, babe? {fade out}

How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?

I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember everything U said
I always thought our love was so right, I guess I was wrong
I always thought U'd be by my side mama, now U're gone

What I wanna know, baby
If what we had was good
How come U don't call me anymore, yeah?
Oh anymore

(Listen...)
I still light the fire on a rainy night
I still like it better when U're holding me tight
(OK, now umm...)
Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part, ooh yeah
(I always said that we were kinda cute 2gether myself)
Tell me baby, baby, baby, why, why'd U wanna go and break my heart?
(Why'd U wanna do it, baby?)

All I wanna know, baby
If what we had was good
How come U don't call me anymore, yeah?
Why don't U call me girl?
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If U don't call me mama, girl U gotta try
Down on my knees, beggin' U please, please! ... oh yeah

Why can't U call me sometime, baby?
It's just one lousy dime, baby
Why can't U call me sometime?
Oh, no no
Why on Earth can't U just pick up the phone, yeah?
U know I don't like 2 be alone {fade out}
Why, why must U torture me baby?
Why U gotta treat me so bad?

Another Lonely Christmas

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U should've been there
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care 4

Remember the time we swam naked in your father's pool
Boy, he was upset that night
But boy, was that ever cool
Remember that night we played pokeno 4 money
And U robbed me blind
Remember how U used 2 scream so loud cuz U...
U hated that number 9
Hey, I saw your sister skatin' on the lake this afternoon
Good heaven, how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters cuz she's so tall
But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
U know U are the finest of them all
U are brighter than the northern star and I...

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U, U should've been there
Cuz U see, of all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care 4, yeah

My mama used 2 say always trust your lover
But now I guess that only applies 2 her
Cuz baby, U promised me
Baby, U promised me U'd never leave
Then U died on the 25th day of December

Oh baby, last night, oh, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, U, U should've been there
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care 4, yeah

Your father said it was pneumonia
Your mother said it was stress
But the doctor said U were dead and I...
I say it's senseless
Every Christmas night 4 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris till I'm blind
As long as I can hear U smiling, baby
U won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine, yeah, mine, yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine

Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U should've been there, yeah
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that make my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care 4

Another lonely...

God

In the beginning, there was God
He made the earth and the heavens
He gave us light 2 rule the day
And another light 2 rule the night
The Lord, thy God
He made, He made the seas
He made the fruit upon the tree

When He saw
When He saw that it was good
He made a man
He made a man
Only He could, only He could

God made U
God made me 2
He made us all
He made us all equally

Now U say it

God made U, God made me
He made us all equally

Wake up children
Dance the Dance Electric
There isn't much time
Who screamed?
Was it U?

4 The Tears In Your Eyes

Long ago there was a man
Changed stone 2 bread with one touch of his hand
He made the blind see and the dumb understand
He died 4 the tears in your eyes, your eyes

Many people came from all around
2 hear this man preach with glorious sound
He spoke of man in harmony and love abound
He died 4 the tears in your eyes, your eyes Your eyes, your eyes
He died 4 the tears in your eyes

CHORUS:
4 the tears in your eyes if they're tears of sorrow
4 cents may be all that they're worth
4 the rising sun each day assures us
The meek shall inherit the earth, the earth

Faith is a word we all should try
Describing the man who willingly died
Believe that your hunger, sorrow, and fears
Is less than the tears in your eyes, your eyes

Less than the tears in your eyes

4 the tears in your eyes if they're tears of sorrow
4 cents may be all that they're worth (All they're worth)
4 the rising sun each day assures us
The meek shall inherit the earth (Say it again)

CHORUS
(All they're worth)

Thank U

Power Fantastic

Late at night when the world's a-sleepin'
U are frightened cuz the power's creepin'
In your room, it's something U're afraid of
Life of doom is what this feeling's made of

Power fantastic is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
Cuz what it is, is what U want and need

Minor G is the chord of pleasure
It will be played 11 measures
U will see fire, but U're cool as ice
U are a liar, huh, if U say this isn't nice Power fantastic is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
What it is, is what U want and need Power, power Power fantastic is in your life at last
U're a wee bit apprehensive
Cuz what it is, is what U want and need Power, power
A power fantastic
