ONE YEAR WISER
This time next year I won’t remember
how I was so afraid of failing
I won’t recall all of the worries
that kept my ship from ever sailing
This is nothing more than passing pain
I won’t repeat the same mistakes again
Next time I’ll be one year wiser
This time next year I’ll have forgotten
these doubts that walk as my companions
I won’t regret taking the wrong road.
Better than to never have begun
This is nothing more than passing pain
I won’t repeat the same mistakes again
Next time I’ll be one year wiser
To the sleeplessness, I will never miss you at all
But I promise I will learn from what you’ve taught
This is nothing more than passing pain
I won’t repeat the same mistakes again
Next time I’ll be one year wiser
No I won’t go down this road again
I won’t repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat
The same mistakes
No I will be older and stronger and wiser
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
You look pretty in pink
You’re such a drama queen
That dress makes you look so skinny
Don’t make a scene
Wear a push up bra
Try to lose some weight
Cover up the problem spots
On the body you hate
What is the meaning of this?
Don’t feed me empty words
So I want to be more than just a pretty face
There are things I was born to do
I will never make history by always behaving like a lady
You look so young
For a woman your age
Have you had any work done, honey?
Isn’t it funny that beauty’s such a pain
Show a little more skin
But cover up your scars
You should care more about your dress size than who you are
What is the meaning of this?
Don’t feed me empty words
So I want to be more than just a pretty face
There are things I was born to do
I will never make history by always behaving like a lady
Be a good little girl made of sugar and spice
And if you can’t be beautiful then learn to play nice
Be a good little girl and never raise your voice
Who told you that you even have a choice?
What is the meaning of this?
Don’t feed me empty words
So I want to be more than just a pretty face
There are things I was born to do
I will never make history by always behaving like a lady
What is the meaning of this?
LAST HOPE AVENUE
I am circling round about
I am trying to figure out the signs
With you it’s always stop and go
It’s so hard for me to know where to draw the line
I have reached out so many times but you’re still a stranger
If I go down this road anymore, is my heart in danger?
If I wait for you on Last Hope Avenue
Will you come through
Or will you fail me too?
I won’t hold my breath but I won’t give up quite yet
Will you come along?
Will you prove me wrong?
Dead end streets and one-way roads
Communication lanes are closed ahead
Slippery pavement, falling rocks
It’s so much harder than I thought to guess what’s left unsaid
Another detour into the dark and lonely places
I’m on the verge of chalking you off as time I’ve wasted.
If I wait for you on Last Hope Avenue
Will you come through
Or will you fail me too?
I won’t hold my breath but I won’t give up quite yet
Will you come along?
Will you prove me wrong?
BOTTLE YOU UP
I’ve got a fizzy little feeling in my brain
I tingly kind of torture I can’t explain
Like caffeine in my veins.
My heart is like a bubble about to burst
And you’re the only lover that can quench my thirst
You’re so delicious, my one wish is
To bottle you up, bottle you up and drink it down
Just one taste I’ve got this craving, I will never get enough
Bottle you up b-b-b-b-babe
Bottle you up and drink of case of you down
Bottle you up, bottle you up, bottle you up, b-bottle you up.
I’m riding on the wave of your sugar rush
I’m happily addicted to your touch
And I just can’t get enough
I’m developing a sweet tooth for your kiss.
You’ve got me foaming over with your lips
You’re so delicious my one wish is
To bottle you up, bottle you up and drink it down
Just one taste I’ve got this craving, I will never get enough
Bottle you up b-b-b-b-babe
Bottle you up and drink of case of you down
Bottle you up, bottle you up, bottle you up, b-bottle you up.
You go down sweet, you go down smooth
Your effervescence has me acting like a fool, but what else can I do?
I’ve got a fizzy little feeling, babe you got me reeling,
Floating like a bubble to the ceiling
And I’m about to pop. Please don’t ever stop-op-op-op
Cuz I’m about to pop (repeat 2x)
Please don’t ever stop-op-op-op
To bottle you up, bottle you up and drink it down
Just one taste I’ve got this craving, I will never get enough
Bottle you up b-b-b-b-babe
Bottle you up and drink of case of you down
Bottle you up, bottle you up, bottle you up, b-bottle you up.
INSIGNIFICANT OTHER
There’s been a change in our connection
A subtle shift in our affection
Sometimes when I’m speaking I’m not sure you know I’m here
And I don’t want to disappear
I just want to be the center of your attention
I just want you hanging on my every word
Let your eyes settle on me like a spotlight and ignite me like a stick of dynamite
I’m not asking for the sun and moon
I just want to be your world.
Is there a way across the distance,
A doorway through all our resistance?
Can you pull me back to you with love’s magnetic force
So my heart can find true north?
I just want to be the center of your attention
I just want you hanging on my every word
Let your eyes settle on me like a spotlight and ignite me like a stick of dynamite
I’m not asking for the sun and moon
I just want to be your world.
So I can’t be ignored any longer
If we find our way through we’ll be stronger
But things can’t stay the same…
I just want to be the center of your attention
I just want you hanging on my every word
Let your eyes settle on me like a spotlight and ignite me like a stick of dynamite
I’m not asking for the sun and moon
I just want to be your world.
