how do I say, I don't wanna walk away?
but you'd rather do your thing
I died today
I think it's a shame, but I know we're not the same
used to be, but nowadays..
I'm starting to think, now I'm gone
who would have stayed, who wouldn't take off?
but I always hold on a little too long
how do I stay cool and quiet in the face
of this pain? when you say, take
what you can get, but I get all I can take
ha. why, why do I anyway?
I'm starting to think, now I'm gone
who would have stayed, who wouldn't take off?
but I always hold on a little too long, oh yeah
I always hold on, I always hold on
a little too long, I always hold on
a little too long, I always hold on
a little too long, a little too long
what can I say in a song
you wouldn't play, you couldn't make up, no
but I'm ever in the wrong
I'm starting to think, now I'm gone
who would have stayed, who wouldn't take off?
but I always hold on a little too long, a little too long
I always hold on a little too long
I always hold on a little too long

I've got a 9-5, it's eating me alive
they're always in my hair, it's just not fair
one day it'll be different, if I find the time,
if I even care,
oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm respectful of the time, don't ask me how I spend my weekend
I like to live my life, I like to do it all night
don't know what you expected
I've got a 9-5, it's eating me alive
they're always in my hair and on my mind
tomorrow it's the same thing, so let's go out tonight
there's something in the air
oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm respectful of the time, don't ask me how I spend my weekend
I like to live my life, I like to do it all night
don't know what you expected
don't know what you expected from me, yeah

Red As Wine

he's got moves
in the bedroom
but he ain't you
what can I do?
when I'm down, when I'm through, when I'm in doubt
'cause in the here and now, I need you near and how
to reach intimately into my mouth
it wouldn't hurt
if I fell for you
but you go first
tell all your girls
who's in town, somebody new
they'd turn red as wine
'cause I wanna drive you wild
like it's going out of style
and I'm dressed to the nines, drop me a line
she's got moves
in the bedroom
but she ain't cool
she sings out of tune
what can I say? when I look at you
and I pray
that maybe one day, you're gonna feel the same way
but today's not the day
and I guess it's ok

Cupid And Psyche

aren't we cute in our human pursuits
in the car, at the bar, in bed with someone new, like you
know what to do with my heart
when you'll get what you want
again tomorrow
aren't you cute when you put on your boots
and you drive me wild and you floor it too
yeah, you know what to do with my heart
can you step on it a little harder?
I do everything I can
I know vis-Ă -vis the end
but it's better to pretend
when you take me by the hand
tell your friends
if I ever see him again, he better get a head start
'cause baby, what you give's what you get
when you break her heart
isn't it cute 'til you're in my shoes
walk a high-heeled mile while I yell at you
I do because I like to look good
and if you happen to agree, it's because it's true
I do everything I can
I know vis-Ă -vis the end,
know it's better to pretend that I'll ever understand
tell your friends
if I ever see him again, he better get a head start
'cause baby, what you give's what you get
when you break her heart
tell your friends
if I ever see him again, he better get a head start
'cause baby, what you give's what you get
when you break my heart

aunque hay sufrimiento y desmadre
tú sabes bien que yo sé
yo sé, yo sé
and that I don't really believe in anything
and I know you know the feeling
but what about good things? I thought about good things, mm..
maybe I'm just dreaming, oh-oh
tĂş y yo, desmadre desnudo
'cause love is knowing you know,
you know, you know
and off the coast it's rocky, water in the boat
so can I take you home?
to talk about good things,
I'll show you love good, baby
I'm not squeamish, no

I've achieved the american dream,
in my sleep, in my sleep
baby you could have everything, do you want to spend a night with me?
coffee in the morning, global warming
it's all for nothing if you don't love me
I've achieved the american dream
I've achieved the american dream,
in my sleep, in my sleep
your daddy's got a lot of nice things,
but my mother's from another country
coffee in the morning, they do it for me
and then they call me, I'm so lucky
I've achieved the american dream
I've achieved the american dream
I've achieved the american dream

we're so close to the ocean, it's cool in the morning
even in the summer when you come over all warm, yeah
it's dark and soft here
it's new and I've got to keep you in my sights
can we do it in front of the mirror like we did last night?
we're so close to the ocean, it's cool in the morning
even in the summer when you come over all warm, yeah
and say you're mine
you and I, for the first time in my life,
I've been laughing harder than I've ever cried
I've decided that if it's the last thing I do
I'd like it to be you
I'd like it to be you
we're so close to the ocean, it's cool in the morning
even in the summer when you come over all warm, yeah

como siempre, las cosas cambian
como han estado y donde irán, nadie sabe nada
la cumbia traviesa que se baile, la respiro como aire
como la vida, tiene ritmo que nunca, nunca para
cuando la vida se pone dura, al punto de locura
recuĂ©rdate que tĂş no siempre estarás ahĂ
y baile con travesura
como siempre, las cosas cambian
como han estado y donde irán, nadie sabe nada
la cumbia traviesa que se baile, la respiro como aire
como la vida, tiene ritmo que nunca, nunca para
cuando la vida te da tristeza, cuando te estresa
recuĂ©rdate que tĂş no siempre estarás ahĂ
y baile baile traviesa ;)
y baile, y baile, y baile baile baile

I wanna be tua menina,
meet your mother
be your lover, if you wanna
I wanna do something obscene with you and you only

I don't know the first thing about being anybody's girl
but when you're near
there's no way around these feelings, I want to be yours
kiss you right here
I wanna be tua menina, meet your mother
be your lover if you wanna
I wanna do something obscene with you and you only
come on over, come on over
I wanna be tua menina
meet your mother
be your lover
if you wanna
I wanna do something obscene
with you and you only
come on over
