You say I'm tough - instead I say I'm strong
You say I'm much too cool - well I say that you're wrong
It turns you off - because I got it goin' on
I say you got to try to do better than that

Be original - individual
If you want it, just stay on it - we can play it like that
You and me - yes it could be
If you try it, you might like it can we play it
We can play it like that

Play it like that
Wont you play it, right play it right
Play it like that - I can take it like that
'Cos, however you want it I can give it to you back
If you try it you might like it - can we play it
We can play it like that

You say I'm never home - where should I be
I say that kind of life - it ain't down with me
So what you gonna do - what you gonna say
If you're not willing or able you can get out of my way

Be original - individual
If you want it, just stay on it - we can play it like that
You and me - yes it could be
If you try it, you might like it can we play it
We can play it like that

ASAP, ASAP
I'm so tired of creepin' around
I'm walking on eggshells
Like a thief in the night
Sneaking in and out of your house
See, your momma don't like me
I admit that I'm no angel
But I treat her with respect
Still she don't care

Baby, believe me
My patience is running on empty

Your momma's in my business
Can you tell her to let me be, ASAP
She's been on my nerves from day one
(What's going on?)
Can you tell me what is this conspiracy against me, ASAP
Back off you can't touch this chemistry
Retreat ASAP

How does it feel for you?
Being stopped by your very own mum
Our relationship's for two
Now the time has come
So what's it gonna be
Gonna follow your mum
Obey everything she says
Or will you stand on your own
The choice is yours
Don't take too long
'Cause, I'll be gone

Baby, believe me
My patience is running on empty

Your momma's in my business
Can you tell her to let me be, ASAP
She's been on my nerves from day one
(What's going on?)
Can you tell me what is this conspiracy against me, ASAP
Back off you can't touch this chemistry
Retreat ASAP

She's tapping your phone
To check who's calling
From dusk until dawn
She's on your tail
Whenever we're alone
I can feel her peeking
Been going on too long
Won't take this no more

Baby, believe me
My patience is running on empty

Your momma's in my business
Can you tell her to let me be, ASAP
She's been on my nerves from day one
(What's going on?)

ASAP (Please mum let me...)

ASAP (Oh stop harrassing me)
ASAP (Oh won't you let me be)
Stop harrassing me, yeah
'Cause she don't know me or my history

Have you been lookin' around for another lover
Teasing the girls when they know you've got another
I can tell by the way that you're walkin'
You can't disguise in your eyes when you're talkin'
You pull me down every time that you're with me
I can't see why you wanna be with me
All you can give me is negative energy

The other day when you said that you hated my dress
Who do you think you are telling me I have to undress
I spent all day baby tryna get ready for you
I spend my time doing far too many things for you


You keep doing what you do, it's over boy I'm through
(I'll get back to you boy)
Don't call me baby I'll call you
And you cannot tell me what to do, if I'm not there with you
(I'm so over you boy)
Don't call me baby I'll call you

I'm gonna find a man who treats me like a lady
I'm gonna find a man who's good in bed baby
I'm feeling strong for the first time maybe I can feel good without you baby
I've had my time baby playing this part for you
This time is mine and I'm not gonna waste it all on you
And I know this is gonna be good for me, on my own finding my identity

You lost your chance and I know you won't believe that it's true
You killed our love bou there's nothing here left for you
I cannot be the girl that you want me to be, feelin' free
This time it's all about me



And I'll get back to you baby, cause I'm so over you baby
Baby don't call me, I'll call you
I'll get back to you baby
Don't call me, I'll call you

Picture walking, a dusty road
Summer breeze on my body flows
Dreaming of a blue horizon
Meet me where the sun is shining

He's coming for my love
He's the one I'm thinking of
Let me show you what I mean
We'll be a living dream

Can't stop thinking about your love
Light shining down on my whole life
Wanting you to stay
I know that love will find a way
Each night I stare into the stars
Each night I wonder where you are
I know that love will find a way

Secret paradise at rainbow's end
There in the distance we meet again
Have you been on your best behavious
We can talk about it later
He's coming for my love
He's the one I'm thinking of
Let me show you what I mean
We'll be living in a dream

Can't stop thinking about your love
Light shining down on my whole life
Wanting you to stay
I know that love will find a way
Each night I stare into the stars
Each night I wonder where you are
I know that love will find a way

We will find
Love this time
Shining Down
Each night I stare into the stars
I wonder where you are
Can't stop thinking about your love
Light shining down on my whole life
Wanting you to stay
I know that love will find a way
Each night I stare into the stars
I wonder where you are
I know that love will find a way

I never thought that you could be that way
Friends from young and now you've changed
Love and trust has turned to hate
If I'd have known you'd do me over
Deceiving me in a big way
I never thought that you'd betray

Why did I bother
Shouldn't have bothered
Trying to keep my cool with you
Tellin' lies I could not see through
Why did I bother
Shouldn't have bothered
Like sisters I would kill for you
Now I know your words are not true

And you can't spend all of your time
Dirty water on your mind
Ya can't see through unless it's blue
The bottom of dirty water
You're like the devil in disguise double faced and tellin' lies
Ya can't see through unless it's blue
The bottom of dirty water

As evil thoughts dwell in your soul
Grinding your mind into a hole
Filled with spite and tension
You give me nothing but deception
What's more to say that's not much more
Could it be just like before?

Why did I bother
Shouldn't have bothered
I was blinded like a fool thinking that lies were true
Why did I bother
Shouldn't have bothered
Only thing that can make me say
Stay the hell away from me

And you can't spend all of your time
Dirty water on your mind
Ya can't see through unless it's blue
The bottom of dirty water
You're like the devil in disguise
Double faced and tellin' lies
Ya can't see through unless it's blue
The bottom of dirty water [x2]

That's the end of your game
And it's always the same
Life's come to a stop and you flow to the top
Through the shadows of dirty water

On your mind, dirty water
All the time, dirty water
On your mind, dirty water
All the time, dirty water

Now you can't spend all of your time
Dirty water on your mind
Ya can't see through unless it's blue
The bottom of dirty water
You're like the devil in disguise
Double faced and tellin' lies
Ya can't see through unless it's blue
The bottom of dirty water

Running, can't see the light
Yearning, for love tonight
A moment, is all I need
Don't you try and take it from me

Cause I know that you and I were meant to be
Don't you know that we should be in love and free
It just don't seem right won't you explain to me
The reasons why you cannot feel the same way when you look at me

You got me feelin'
Something I cannot hide
A love I can't deny, tell me why
You got me feelin'
Don't wanna let it go,
Can't stop this feelin'

I'm taken by what you do
My heart years, for me and you
Captured, by your charm
But you keep taking it from me

Cause I know that you and I were meant to be
Don't you know that we should be in love and free
It just don't seem right won't you explain it to me
The reasons why you cannot feel the same way when you look at me

You got me feelin'
Something I cannot hide
A love I can't deny, tell me why
You got me feelin'
Don't wanna let it go,
Can't stop this feelin'

It's cool with me boy if you've got somewhere to go
Although we made some plans
I'm going with the flow
Won't hear no drama out of me
Won't hear no noise
'Cause I'll be hanging with the girls
Will you be hanging with the boys

Won't be sitting by the phone
Gonna put my make-up on
And be out, call me when you get home
Hit me when you get home baby


It's alright, it's ok
I am not gonna do you thang
'Cause I will be doing mine
Think I'm gonna dance all night

If you don't know by now
I'm not a silly girl
So what you do with me
It might not work with her
What I've been through in my life
Only made me strong
So I ain't trippin 'bout no man
Baby I'll see you when I can

Won't be sitting by the phone
Gonna put my make-up on
And be out, call me when you get home
Hit me when you get home baby

It's alright, it's ok
I am not gonna do you thang
'Cause I will be doing mine
Think I'm gonna dance all night

I'm noty worried about tomorrow
I'm just living for today
I've got my mind in letting go boy
So go out and do your thing
Ain't no pressure let's make plans
And just hook up another time
Keep on doin' what your doing'
I'll be fine

It's alright, it's ok
I am not gonna do you thang
'Cause I will be doing mine
Think I'm gonna dance all night

Waking up each day to a warm embrace
To the smell of sweet perfume
Every man needs his woman
Seems I ain't good enough for you

(The sweet surrender of a broken heart)
So fragile and lost
Like a child in the dark
(Oh my sweet darling can't you hear my cry)
A kiss in the sky before we say goodbye


Before I let you go return the key to my heart
So I can start over
Before I let you go return the key to my heart
So I can start over

If only we could look into our past life
And see how our love first bloomed
I should have cherished each moment
Cause now the love we have is through

(The sweet surrender of a broken heart)
So fragile and lost like a child in the dark
(Oh my sweet darling can't you hear my cry)
A kiss in the sky before we say goodbye



Before I let you go......

I gave so much to you
Gave you my all
I was there through the times
That you needed me
But I'm no longer your girl
You've got the key to my world
Yes you do



Before I let you go.......

We're getting bored of the nightlife
Gonna move this night up to where we want it to be
When I'm down and the girls come 'round, gotta shake the town
Cause we're feeling kinda funky tonight

Look over there (where?), see the guy with the bad hair
He thinks he's hotti, but he's notti, do we really care
We hear the club is pumpin, and the bass is really thumpin'
See the queue (oh no!), we're jumpin!
We are the girls of the night, feeling high

Me and the girls just want to have fun tonight
Feelin' hot, feelin' fun with the girls all night
Takin' time out is what it's all about tonight
Cause we're feeling kinda funky


We take the town on without a care, sexy underwear
Gonna cause some trouble out there
Lipstick's on and we jump the car, acting like a star
Got a feeling this party's alright

Look over where (there!), I think I've found the club I swear
That club is movin', yea it's groovin', gotta go in there
With the girls, feels so right

Me and the girls just want to have fun tonight
Feelin' hot, feelin' fun with the girls all night
Takin' time out is what it's all about tonight
Cause we're feeling kinda funky



We are the girls of the night, feeling highWe are the girls of the night, feels so right

Me and the girls just want to have fun tonight
Feelin' hot, feelin' fun with the girls all night
Takin' time out is what it's all about tonight
Cause we're feeling kinda funky

I can't deny
Things have been good
But I don't know why
They don't quite seem what they should
My only evidence is my sixth sense
Telling me
You're doing all the things you used to do
Do again

I know your history
But don't think
You can do those things to me

When the cat's away the mice will play
But think about the price you pay
You can run, you can hide
Deny and lie
But words travel faster than speed of light
So when the cats away the mice will play
But don't you play that stunt on me
Cause I spy with my little eye
And if I catch you, bye bye

Well, hear me out
When I'm out of town
It doesn't give
You a license to fool around
I feel it
You haven't changed
I believe it
You're back to playing you're ol games

I know your history
But don't think
You can do those things to me

When the cat's away the mice will play
But think about the price you pay
You can run, you can hide
Deny and lie
But words travel faster than speed of light
So when the cats away the mice will play
But don't you play that stunt on me
Cause I spy with my little eye
And if I catch you, bye bye


They say that you can't teach an old dog brand new tricks
And baby my friends tellin me that you won't change
And maybe they're right, the promise you made to me
On the count of three
You, be, out

When the cat's away the mice will play
But think about the price you pay
You can run, you can hide
Deny and lie
But words travel faster than speed of light
So when the cats away the mice will play
But don't you play that stunt on me
Cause I spy with my little eye
And if I catch you, bye bye
