Toni don't call no more
Don't have it on more
Maybe there is something
wrong with his phone
Maybe it's mornin'
and the thrill is gone
And I'm not sure that
I'm still respected
And I'm not in a rush to
fill rejected
Not by Toni
Toni don't care no more
He doesn't want me there no more
I just want to know
what I did wrong
Damn this would
make a real good song
I don't have these nights to often
I wish I could take
my mind off him
But I really like Toni
And he wasn't just
some regular guy
Toni actually the other night
Oh why
I could've been in love by now
If it wasn't for Toni

I could've been in love by now
If it wasn't for Toni
Me and Toni don't speak no more
It all most been a week oh no
My how time goes so fast
But I still refuse to call his ass
I remember the way that I reacted
And today is even more attractive
But I really miss Toni
Then Toni call me one day
He said that he just
called to say hey
And it wasn't until
he called me back
That I realized
I needed more than that
I'm a love wiser and a little older
Hey baby it was nice to know ya
Good bye Toni
Still he wasn't just
some regular guy
Toni actually the other night
Oh why
I could've been in love by now
If it wasn't for Toni

I could've been in love by now
If it wasn't for Toni
I don't go with yesterday no more
Now I'm feeling free
I'm feeling free
Today and tomorrow told me
what they said
That's where I should be
that's where I should be
so I'm moving
I'm moving so I'm moving on
I'm going Can't wait forever
I'm moving on
I'm going so I'm moving on
I'm leaving
I miss you baby
Still he wasn't just
some regular guy
Toni is actually the other night
If it wasn't for Toni

If it wasn't for Toni

I feel like walking; diving in tears
Water my roses with sweet liquor, be a stranger to fears
Ooh, see I only wanted to be, be your girl;
To love you in the ways you've never known
But you can't love me, no, you can't love me
If you don't even love yourself...
Oh, I still wanna be there,
But I've got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't our season
I should be leaving;
Oh, these leaves dancing in the dark
But you've got my heart...
And I don't want us apart, baby
No, no...
You're sweeter than the spring
Nobody's ever been more
I know you'd give me the shirt off of your shoulders,
you'd give me the world
Ooh, but I only wanted to be your woman
To give you all the things I know I can
But you can't know me, no, you can't know me
If you don't even know yourself
Oh, I still wanna be there,
But I've got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't our season
I should be leaving;
Oh, these leaves dancing in the dark
But somehow you've got my heart
These leaves, I want them to fall
But these leaves, I can't shake them off
With these leaves, I can't leave at all
At all...
But I should be dancin baby, dancin
Yeah, I should be dancin baby, dancin
Yeah, I should keep groovin baby, groovin
Yeah, I should keep groovin£§ on my own
But you got my heart
And I dont want us apart, baby
No, no, oh oh...
We keep on blooming;
You plant a smile everyday
Oh, but I could be swimming in the dead end
Cause I know your ways
Oooh, but see I only wanted to be, be your girl
To show you all the things you've never known
But you can't love me
No, you can't love me
If you don't even love yourself
Oh, I still wanna be there
But I got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't my season
I should be leaving
These leaves dancin in the dark
But somehow you've got my heart
Oh, baby...
Oh, darling...
Oh, come on baby...
But I should be dancin, baby, dancin
Yeah, I should keep dancin, baby, dancin
Yeah, I should keep groovin, baby, groovin
Yeah, I should keep groovin, on my own

Well

Enlightening charmer
sent from where
A Casanova
lovely glare
And I was chosen
I was there
The wells get deeper
More unfolds
And at the bottom
There she goes
But wells are endless
I find more
Flowers candy
flirty late nights
on the speed dial
That was you two
Dinner movies sweetheart kisses
He don't dance but tango with two
I find you plus me
divided me from him
But I discovered
Many more and again and again
And you don't know
You fill many spaces
And she don't know
She's one of many lies
And he don't know
How he's stole many places
And we all know
We can't fix him if we tried
I would've been the one
I held the title
Wore the crown
I was the trophy
While you ducked down
And she was cool with
just foolin around
Yes she was
Yes she was
Yes she was
Now number four was there to ride
And five was crazy
His wild child
And when we're rocky
He calls number nine
Flowers candy
flirty late nights
on the speed dial
That was you two
Dinner movies sweetheart kisses
He don't dance but tango with two
I find you plus me
divided me from him
But I discovered
Many more and more and again
And you don't know
You fill many spaces
And she don't know
She's one of many lies
And he don't know
How he's steals many places
And we all know
We can't fix him if we tried
I would've been the one
I was the one
Yes I was the one
And yes that was my name
Inked up on his arm
And if he loved me that much
and still did me wrong
I'm feeling sorry for you
for holding on
I was the one
Yes I was the one
Keyword is was
yes I was the one
I figured out he was
empty on my own
He had to find the answer
in something not someone
And you don't know
You fill many spaces
And she don't know
She's one of many lies
And he don't know
He's stole many places
And we all know
We can't fix him if we tried
I would've been the one

[Verse 1]
If my house flowed down in the river
If all of these walls tumble down in the storm
If this war took all of my money
All of my pride
But I’d never be poor

[Pre-Chorus]
As long as we got each other
There’s nothing in the world that can steal my joy
Yeah, As long as we got each other
We can overcome the badness of the world

[Chorus]
‘Cause people don’t make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby I know got you
Yeah, you keep me sheltered through the six o’clock blues
And if I know one things going to be alright
Then I know that it’s me and you (oh, oh)

[Bridge]
So they say we’re running out of time
We’re running out of water
We’re running out of light
We all got to many problems
And just not enough answers
But if we keep our own lives then they’ll tell us what we like

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but as long as we got each other
There’s nothing in the world that can steal my joy
As long as we got each other (we can overcome)
We can overcome the badness of the world

[Verse 2]
They can sell me a story
And tell me we’re in danger
But our love will never die

[Chorus]
‘Cause people don’t make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby I know got you
You keep me sheltered through the six o’clock blues
Yeah, you keep me sheltered
Through the six o’clock
Yeah you keep me sheltered, sheltered, sheltered, sheltered
Baby if I know one thing
It’s going to be all right
I know that I got my baby
Like the birds that live in the sky
We never have to worry
Cause somehow we’ll get by

This song is for my people
I wanna know where we going
I'm right beside you 07

Street lights twilights
There's a liquor store
By his playground
It's raining a cash flow
But it sits well at home
It's a hustle
Now a mother use to hustle
To a different tune
There's a midnight thrilling
And oh the traffic's heavy burning light
Don't slow you down
He thinks trouble fulfilling

Don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how its suppose
To be, oh I wonder where this broken
Place is going to take us, and where the
Way I want to know.

Street life crowded
That's his way out the illusion
Teachers failing
Our hero lives on TV
No my break keeps all eyes closed
While his are so open
Take it in three ways, I know it
Nowadays nothing wrong
Cause everything goes
We think trouble fulfilling

Don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how its suppose
To be, oh I wonder where this broken
Place is going to take us, and where's the
Way I want to know.

I want to know where (4 xs)
Know
Know

Don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how its suppose
To be, oh I wonder where this broken
Place is going to take us, and where the
Way I want to know.

Won't you move closer than closeCan bring you to meJust given me the only warmth to feelCan we lay in this space until forever?Till the moments around us all are stillAnd tell me where do we go?On this winding, traveling open road To the hills where the love people goFar in the night you and I don't look back you will find me Cosmic JourneyAnd I love you I swearCosmic JourneyAnd I love you I swear Won't you go deeper than deep can dig into meMake the words roll over your tongue to mineAs I probably kiss you better than I'll tell youAnd the way that you touch feel so sublime Be all mineAnd discover you in as you will findFar into the night you and I don't look back and you'll find me Cosmic JourneyAnd I love you I swearCosmic JourneyAnd I love you I swearCosmic JourneyAnd I love you I swearCosmic JourneyAnd I love you I swear And I love you I swearCosmic JourneyAnd I love you I swear Let's goLet's goLet's go

once in a time
where the girls feel like girls
and the world is painted
cotton candy
where the sweet lemonade
of mcgregor street
was the best the damn thing of the summer breeze
your dad drives a foreign car
and your mama looks like a beauty queen
now the sour bitter days
of a colorless place
seems to light up my nights somehow
and the music i play must be loud, loud, loud, loud, loud as can be
so i dont have to hear myself think
so i dont have to wake up from this dream
i dont wanna sing no single mama blues
im not singin look at me i've been abused
o im honestly lost girl starin at you
so maybe ill put on my high heel shoes
and soar the night away
and soar the night away
but whatever i do

im not gonna slow this bird down
i don't wanna look life in the eye
i'm not gonna fall face first in the spiral called a life
im not in denial
im not suicidal
not an alcoholic
im not out here hoin' (e.g whoring)
so just shut the f**k up
this birds not slowing down
once in a while
when the sun does its job
lets the clouds take a nice day off
i can breeze through the day

and just run through night
here injisted of those big blue eyes
is this is life might run
on the evening of fourth july
so i got reason to fly

im not gonna slow this bird down
i don't wanna look life in the eye
I don't wanna fall face first in the spiral called a life
im not in denial
im not suicidal
not an alcoholic
im not out here hoin'(e.g whoring)
so just shut the f**k up
this birds not slowing down

slowing dowwwwnnn
slowing downnnnn
slowing dowwwnnnn

its not over yet
the song isnt over yet
aint no birds
gonna slow me down
imma keep on rollin
and aint no birds gonna slow me down
keep on rollin
and aint no birds
gonna slow me down
imma keep on rollin
and aint no birds gonna slow me down

[Verse 1]
I'm sitting here looking at this old canvas
And the picture looks so different from you
Yes it does, yes it does
Maybe it's time to go back to the drawing board
Cause it's likely that the man I drew is fictional

[Chorus]
It's possible I dream such a thing that's so far away
And the flame that you bring is warming up
It's possible we all want a dream that's so far away
And my white picket dreams are home enough

[Verse 2]
I'm lying in the dark but it's pitch bright
Cause this yellow in my soul and it raise, it brings me hope
I figured I'd be married young with two off springs
But this timing and me don't wait for you to carry on

[Pre-Chorus]
So I wait for the day for the day
When this frame shows a face gives a name and you say
That you will it's your will we can build we can still see it

[Chorus]
It's possible I dream such a thing that's so far away
And the flame that you bring is warming up
It's possible we all want a dream that's so far away
And my white picket dreams are home enough

[Bridge]
Hahahahahahahahahahahohoho
Hahahahahahahahahahahohoho

And you know I want that baby
What you do keep on bringing me joy
And you know we'll have that baby
I give you that picture hun and so much more
And you know I want that baby
And you know we'll have that baby
That white picket dream we'll paint it
The house on the hills with our name on the door
And you know I want that baby
And you know we'll have that baby
That white picket dream of mine will show me how it was in no time

[Chorus]
It's possible I dream such a thing that's so far away
And the flame that you bring is warming up
It's possible we all want a dream that's so far away
And my white picket dreams are home enough
