Gerald Eaton

I've seen a man cry, I've seen a man die inside
I've seen him say to me that he is only mine
That he gotta do what is best for him
Never let me in, not even begin
To tell me I'm the one under his moon and sun
That I am the thing that revolves around him
But while on top of him I know what's best for him
I'll show him how to win and let me in cuz

*I don't wanna be your baby girl
I don't wanna be your little pearl
I just wanna be what's best for me
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun

We're all sorry now, I didn't mean to wow
Make you cry like that, it's just a little spat
Still I want you to know, though I love you so
It's mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing
That you're an ideal, hell I never steal
But I stole you from, from another one
So take yourself and wrap around my little finger
Cuz that's how it should swing

*Repeat

Why can't he see, why can't he see what's inside of me,
yeah... don't you, don't you call me coochie-coo a little
girl, now...
don't you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now
I'm so much more, can't you see? Can't you see?
Look who's writing now a token of their love
Can't you see love that it's just because
I wanted a cheap way to get inside your head
And not a cheap way to get inside your bed
Oh you're running now, with that silly one
It's all over now, this woman's just begun
Maybe we'll see about the will and the way
Butterflies return some day

*Repeat

I left my heart in San Francisco with some club kids on a crowded street
somewhere
The sky was red and he said,
"would you like to come be a part of my North American Dream?"
I could try to chase life down, down the street and I'd find the separation
of fact and fiction

I'm tryin' a find a way
I'm tryin' a find a right
And if I budge I just might
I'm tryin' a find a way
I'm tryin' a find a right
And if I budge I just might

I left my conscience somewhere with my rythym
I heard about it from the mouth of a man
He was hopping some trains and combing the land
Looking for a lover (kiss) planted in the east
Trying to run from the dreaded fist beast
And it lies, it lies in the picket fence call
It was my own paradise with my own private corridor

I'm tryin' a find a way
I'm tryin' a find a right
And if I budge I just might
I'm tryin' a find a way
I'm tryin' a find a right
And if I budge I just might

So I'm dancing to a new beat and it came to me in bed
My veins became a strain of light that I let to flow instead
And a wish came to me like Peter Pan at my window and said
Evolve your destiny child and you'll never walk alone-no
You'll never walk alone, but
Travel to the land of surrender till' you can't cry no more
Till you can't, till you can't
And you'll never walk alone

You'll nev, you'll nev, you'll never walk alone, you'll nev,
you'll nev, you'll never walk alone..
... never walk, never walk alone alone alone-yeah/ all this inspiration is
passing me by/all I can do is chill when I really wanna fly/and this
pollution do nothing but dirty up my mind/faster than forever in the blink
of an eye/to see past my lethargy is hard I feign/the beauty of my youth is
gone but the chemicals remain

I'm tryin' a find a way
I'm tryin' a find a right
And if I budge I just might
I'm tryin' a find a way
I'm tryin' a find a right
And if I budge I just might

I travel to this land of surrender but I see it's all over me, over and over
again...and I try and I try and I try...an angel on my left side and a devil
on my right..and they fight and they fight and they fight..they're fighting,
they're fighting, they're fighting for my attention...hello? You have my
attention...Do I have your attention...Can I have your attention
please?...please, you've made such such an impression on me

I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly

If you want it hit it oh,
I'm on your video
If you want it hit it oh,
I'm on your radio
Holler if you hear me, yo
I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly

Baby I wanna let my hair down,
Baby I wanna let my hair down,
Baby I wanna let my hair down,
Play me something that'll make me jump around

Let's flow with this
Let's get to know with this
Let's hit the show with this
Let's fly like a crow with this
Do you wanna be my raven?
I could be your style maven
We could make a little haven
Tell me what you're craving

Let's make a dust bowl
We'll hit it like at the Rose Bowl
I do like sports
But I don't like wearin’ shorts
It's ok we could do it in the dark
If you got a candle let's light a spark
Everybody looks good in good lighting
Hey we could do it, we could go down fighting

Baby I wanna let my hair down,
Baby I wanna let my hair down,
Baby I wanna let my hair down,
Play me something that'll make me jump around

It’s Nelly on the mic
Feelin’ a’ight
And you can have a bite
But not tonight
You can call me Neco
Give me something to eat, oh
I heard you're chickity cheap coz
Like to stay at the Rico

Yeah, you like my map
Yeah, it's all that
Let's start a frat
Gamma, gamma, gamma phat
You know you like vodka
You like the way ya rock yah
Hey I'm your amore
Come here baby, while I pour you something (holy?)

Baby I wanna let my hair down,
Baby I wanna let my hair down,
Baby I wanna let my hair down,
Play me something that'll make me jump around


This is my flow (my hair down)
This is my flow (my hair down)
[repeat]
Jump around
This is my flow [repeat]

I want to know where you go
I want to know where you go at night
when you leave my bed
and when I saw you wandering is when I knew
you had no time for me left in your life
so I`m gonna hold my baby blond away blond away
so goodbye

But I feel you (don`t want to let you go)
I feel you (hey man I love you so)
I feel you (I long you in the night)
I feel you
if you want you can try and you can make it right

Oh you are such a little child
Oh you are such a little child
and you won`t give anything away
no way, no way, no oh
and when I saw you wandering
when I saw you creeping is when I knew
you had no time for me in your life so boo-hoo
no you`re gone

But I feel you (don`t want to let you go)
I feel you (hey man I love you so)
I feel you (I long in the night)
I feel you ooh ooh ooh
It`s not too late to catch me while you can

I will be waiting for you
you know it`s not too late
it`s not too late
oh baby went away
I wish he could have stayed here
but it`s not too late

But I feel you (don`t want to let you go)
I feel you (hey man I love you so)
I feel you (I long you in the night)
I feel you you you you (yeah)

He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun

And like a legend that rises and then falls I cannot be his only one

He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to
He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to

And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight

Babe I saw you walking, it was after midnight
Carrying nothing except for a flashlight
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry
For I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so
I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so

I know you want to drink from the purest wine
But the drink is far more sour then you would ever think
He wants to be, he wants to be with everything under the sun
And she wants to burn, she wants to burn hot like that sun,
(whoa) hot like that sun

Just like a legend that rises and then falls I cannot be his only one
And like a callous, cold, callous woman she'll never know what she
did done

So like this legend that rises and then falls I'll never be his only
one

I'm talking to the mirror again but it's not listening
I'm cleaning my dirty mind like a toilet but it won't give in
I'm drinking spirits in the hopes that I will find myself one
But all I can rectify is that the party's just begun

Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun

I feel like falling asleep and never waking up
It's not that my glass is empty but I need another cup
When all of the doors around me just shut one by one
I feel like falling asleep but the party's just begun

Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun

Shaky shaky steps in the middle of the day
A fire in my path and a cool decay
Of limbs and tooth under my skin
Oh, freedom, where do I begin
I'm changing my inflection and how I say the words
Maybe it will sound like something they've never heard
Oh, death of the party
I picked up the chalice of malice
And drank till I was full, I drank till I was full
I was thirsty but I drank till I was full,
I drank till I, till I,till I was full

There's a fever in my bones that I know so well
I keep my head low low low to avoid the swell
But it'll be cold in hell, it'll be cold in hell
Before they put me in that chamber
So I'm cleaning up as fast as I can
I'm cleaning up as fast as I can
Cuz you can't unbreak what you break, you can't unfake the very fake
You cannot fuel without a tank,
no you can't unbreak what you break, what you break

Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun

Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun

* My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day, deep into the sea
But takes a little piece of me, a little piece of me

Oh it's so beautiful out and I can't see why we're not allowed to be
Up in the sky with the birds counting the flowers
Oh my powers have failed me again when I can't see beginning to end
And I try to test it again through the hours
I get so stuck on leaving but I guess I think I'll stay
I'll be hanging around here anyway
I get so stuck on leaving, hell I think I'll go
Cuz they don't want me around here, no, no

* Repeat

Oh why can't I be green as the grass beneath my feet
As fresh as the dew hits the ground in the morning
And not yellow like bumble bees, please take me off my knees
Cuz I don't wanna be red forever
I get so stuck on leaving but I guess I think I'll stay
I'll be hanging around here anyway
I get so stuck on leaving so hell I think I'll go
Cuz they don't want me around here, no no

Traveling far, all up in the blue, traveling far,
could not be born because of you
Traveling far, up in the blue, could not be born because of you,
because of you you you you you you you
I get so stuck on leaving, I guess I think I'll stay
I'll be hanging around here anyway
I get so stuck on leaving, hell I think I'll go
You don't want me around here no more

I get so stuck on leaving, I get so stuck on leaving
I get so stuck on leaving, stuck on leaving
Stuck on leaving, I gotta go
You cut my wings long time ago
You cut my wings long time ago

* Repeat

Chuva, chuvinhao
Venh, venh, venh ca, rapaz
Chuva, chuvinhao
Venh, venh ca, rapaz

This is not political, it's just that I, I
Demand attention when I walk into the room
(Venho, venho, venho)
Hey
(Venho, venho, venho)

And it's not that I can't play ball hard,
it's just that I don't want to
And the more I think about this pressure love, I don't want you
And I can't have you, and that's what hurts the most
I cannot show you these things I boast
Throw my heart out, keep my head up, I cannot fuck up cuz

I, I got what you need boy (baby I do)
But I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I, I got what you need boy (baby I do)
But I will only bring on the rain, yeah yeah

So I'll prefer to run this road rough around the edges
Good for something but too good to give it to you
You run your own course at your own pace but I just got impatient
See, I wanted to explore

Forsake you, forsook you, abate you, dissipate you
So turn fate around, I believed that I was free of you (not)
I still believe in those days on benches at sunset or
the waves in July
Or was it March
We weathered weathers and storms real and imagined,
such fragile tenderness
You are truly blessed
I stress this as I blow you this kiss as I blow it in the wind,
mwah

I, I got what you need boy (baby I do)
But I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I, I got what you need boy (baby I do)
But I will only bring on the rain

Chuva, chuvinhao
Venh, venh ca, rapaz

Gonna make you cry
So damn hard
You're gonna curse your drawers and wish you weren't a boy
Gonna make you cry
So damn hard
You're gonna curse your drawers and wish you weren't a boy

I will make you cry
I will make you cry
(Boohoo)

They say time is made of memories
Well I remembered and I'm tired
This is not political
It's just that I remember the fire

Babe you left me with my head held high
And I feigned to be more than I was, didn't I
I thought I could do without sugar love
But this chocolate has turned into sweet bubble gum
Candy is sweet but honey is sweeter
It tastes like the real thing but candy is much much cheaper
(cheaper)

I, I got what you need boy (baby I do)
But I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I, I got what you need boy (baby I do)
But I will only bring on the rain

(Rain a'fallin' down, rain a'fallin' down, hahahaha)
(Rain a'fallin' down, rain a'fallin' down, hahahaha)
(Rain a'fallin' down, rain a'fallin' down, hahahaha)

Time crying
You'll be crying
I'm sorry I made you cry
I didn't mean to
Let me wipe those tears away
Wipe those tears away
Don't cry baby
It's only rain
