Sister Fate

There's a nasty rumor that's goin' 'round
People think that U and, U and I are goin' down
They insist that we're more, more than just friends
So I'm gonna stick around until this movie ends

CHORUS:
I'm gonna leave it up 2 Sister Fate, destiny
She's the only thing that's standin' in the way of U and me
Sister Fate, destiny
One day we're gonna be 2gether, wait and see, wait and see

There's an awful story that's in the news
People say that I'm, I'm in love with U
If they knew the real truth, they'd probably die
I could never do nothin' 2 live up 2 those lies

CHORUS

Sister, huh

There's a nasty rumor that's going 'round
(There's a nasty rumor goin' 'round)
People think that U and I are going down
(People think that U and, U and I are goin' down)
They insist that we're more, more than just friends
So I'm gonna stick around (Until this movie ends, huh)

CHORUS

Wait and see

Sister Fate {x3}

Sister Fate, destiny
She's the only thing standin' in the way of U and me
Sister Fate, destiny {fade out}
One day we're gonna be 2gether, wait and see

Dear Michaelangelo

Every summer in the gardens of Florence
A peasant of female persuasion
Used 2 cry 4 Michaelangelo
2 save her from death's invitation
Some say this woman was crazy
Others say this woman was possessed
Just one look at her face
And it's evident 2 her he was the best (Oh)

CHORUS:
Dear Michaelangelo, color the dreams in my head
I look at your paintings and I'm with U in your bed
Dear Michaelangelo, save me from death's invitation
I'll make love 2 no one unless he's of your persuasion

By summer's end came many offers
All of which the peasant refused
She wanted Michaelangelo
And no other, no other man would do
No one could speak of passion and touch her
Touch her the way that he does
No one except Michaelangelo
It was him (life without love) or a life without love

CHORUS

A life without love, a life without love
Don't die, don't die without love

Dear Michaelangelo {x2}

CHORUS

Dear Mi... chael... an... ge... lo, angel

Dear Michaelangelo, color the dreams in my head
I look at your paintings and I'm with U in your bed

A Love Bizarre

A B, A B C D

The moon up above, it shines down upon our skin
Whispering words that scream of outrageous sin
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams
It gets kinda rough in the back of our limousine

CHORUS:
That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre
That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre

A strawberry mind, a body that's built 4 2
A kiss on the spine, we do things we never do
Come swallow the pride and joy of the ivory tower
We'll dance on the roof, make love on a bed of flowers

CHORUS

The moon up above, it shines down upon our skin
(It shines down... on... our... skin)
Whispering words that scream of outrageous sin
(Whispering words that scream of... scream of sin)
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams
(We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest... wildest dreams, yeah)
It gets kinda rough in the back of our limousine

CHORUS

That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre
(A strawberry mind, a body that's built 4 2, me and U)
That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre
(A kiss on the spine, we do things we never do)

(Yeah)

CHORUS {x4}

What we are, what we are, a love bizarre {x2}
What we are (What we are), what we are (what we are)
A love bizarre (A love bizarre)

CHORUS {repeated ‘til end}

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Ah yeah! {x3}

Toy Box

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
It's so much fun
Brother cries whenever he's lonely
And he's lonely cuz he hasn't one
But that's cool cuz...

CHORUS:
Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
She's got a toy box
Love, it comes so easy when the children open doors
Doesn't matter who knocks

Sister's very kind so it's never quite a problem
When it comes 2 love
Everything's so easy when we're children
One touch is 2 much
Oooh

CHORUS

One touch, one touch, one touch is 2 much

Why we hide our feelings when we're older
Is a movie I don't want 2 see (I don't want 2 see)
Truth is all that matters in a month of Saturdays
When U're 17 (When U're 17)

CHORUS {x2}
(She's got a toy box)
(Knock, knock)

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
She's got a toy box (toy box)
Love comes so easy

Yellow

Every girl of culture's got a favorite car

The kind of car that makes a girl lose her cool

My daddy had a yellow Riviera Star

That he used 2 let me drive 2 school

All the boys would follow me after class

Never let 'em take me 4 a ride

I didn't want 'em thinkin' that I was fast

I mean nearly every girl has got her pride

Every cheerleader in the senior class

Really, really hated my yellow pants

Maybe it was the way they hugged my ass

But I was the one the fellas asked 2 dance

Zina is the sister that I have 2 raise

She's younger but her chest is bigger than mine

But my voice is deeper so I got it made

Real live men hate girls that whine

Every man wants a dame with style

A saint by day and a sinner at night

I maybe talk dirty 4 a little while

If he buys my dinner, that's alright

Most boys think they're so c-cool

As far as she can see, most boys are jerks

Double time talkers with half-time jewels

U know that ain't the way Sheila E. works

I met a little pretty with yellow hair

Wanted my body and my car 2

I gave him everything cuz I didn't care

Now this little yellow girl is blue

Yellow's a happenin' color
If U're a banana
Countin' the days until U're a prune
But blue's a better color
If U're lookin' 4 a lover
2 show your pretty colors 2

Romance 1600

I was all alone
When the doorbell rang
Going 4 my own
A narcissistic thang
He was dressed in red
A mask covered his eyes
Something 4 my head
He said he had a big surprise

CHORUS:
Romance, Romance 1600
Let's dance, let's dance until we see the sun
Romance, Romance 1600
All 4 one, one 4 all, fun 4 everyone, everyone

Pretty summer night
He had a place 2 go
Everything was right (So right)
People I wanted 2 know
It was so bizarre
Everyone wore a mask
Hiding who they are
Don't bother 2 ask

CHORUS

Romance, Romance 1600 {x3}

We were not ashamed (No shame, no shame)
We took off all our clothes
Fun is all 2 blame
Only Heaven knows
My lover dressed in red
He never used his hands
He loved me in his head (Love in his head)
He knew I'd understand

CHORUS

1600
Romance, Romance 1600 {x3}
Romance

Romance, Romance 1600

Thank U (Thank U) (Thank U) (Danke schön)
{"Thank U" in German}

Bedtime Story

Time 2 sleep
But I'm not sleepy yet
Close my eyes
But dreamland's not a sure bet
Don't go

CHORUS:
Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story

Long ago there was a princess
She was so fine
She was all alone
4 her prince, he never had no time
U can hear her crying

CHORUS

Don't go
Stay with me
Please talk 2 me

Far away I want 2 go
And start my life all over
Instead, I'll stay
Maybe I'll find a 4-leaf clover

Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story, yeah

CHORUS

Goodnight
