The Real Thing

The Real Thing


I've seen your face a thousand times
Have all your stories memorized
I've kissed your lips a million ways
But I still love to have you around

I've held you too many times to count
I think I know you inside out
And we're together most days
But I still love to have you around

You're the one I want and it's not just phase
You're the one I trust, our love is the real thing

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I'm happiest when we spend time

You're a salty water ocean wave
You knock me down, you kiss my face
I know the storms will always come
But I still love to have you around

Heaven knows what will come next
So emotional, you're so complex
A rollercoaster built to crash
But I still love to have you around


You're the one I want and it's not just phase
You're the one I trust, our love is the real thing
Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I'm happiest when we spend time (it's only you and I)

It's you there when I close my eyes
And you in the morning
I never thought you'd still be mine
Or I'd really need to have you around

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I need you, you're my love supply

Don't go away
My love (you're my love supply)
I want you to stay
In my life (every day, every night)
Don't go away
My love (you're my love supply)
I need you, you're my love supply

The Sweet Escape

The Sweet Escape




If I could escape I would but, first of all, let me say
I must apologize for acting stank and treating you this way
?Cause I?ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It?s your fault you didn?t shut the refrigerator
Maybe that?s the reason I?ve been acting so cold?

If I could escape and recreate a place that?s my own world
And I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy now wouldn?t that be sweet?
(The sweet escape)

If I could be sweet
(Sorry boy)
I know I?ve been a real bad girl
(I?ll try to change)
I didn?t mean for you to get hurt whatsoever
We can make it better
Tell me boy now wouldn?t that be sweet?
(Sweet escape, sweet escape)

I want to get away to our sweet escape
I want to get away, yeah

You held me down, I?m at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint
Come on let?s bounce, counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around, let?s look for some common ground

So baby, times get a little crazy
I?ve been getting a little lazy waiting on you to come save me
I can see that your angry by the way that you treat me
Hopefully you don?t leave me, wanna take you with me

If I could escape and recreate a place that?s my own world
And I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together
And tell me boy now wouldn?t that be sweet?
(The sweet escape)

If I could be sweet
(Sorry boy)
I know I?ve been a real bad girl
(I?ll try to change)
I didn?t mean for you to get hurt whatsoever
We can make it better
And tell me boy now wouldn?t that be sweet?
(Sweet escape, sweet escape)

If I could escape, if I could escape

?Cause I?ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It?s your fault you didn?t shut the refrigerator
Maybe that?s the reason I?ve been acting so cold?

If I could escape and recreate a place that?s my own world
And I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together
And tell me boy now wouldn?t that be sweet?
(The sweet escape)

If I could be sweet
(Sorry boy)
I know I?ve been a real bad girl
(I?ll try to change)
I didn?t mean for you to get hurt whatsoever
We can make it better
And tell me boy now wouldn?t that be sweet?
(Sweet escape, sweet escape)

I want to get away to our sweet escape
I want to get away, yeah

U Started It

U Started It


It's all your fault, but, I'm gonna try

I'm feelin' as bad about me as you are
You know I don't wanna be here
I'm tryin' to work out where these feelings are from
I don't know why I'm doin' this either

[CHORUS]
I know you're right, you win
I don't want any part of it
You know, what I'm like
I give in, even though You Started It

Last time I checked had it under control
But now everything is unclear
Help me correct it I know that I'm wrong
I don't know why I'm doin' this either

[CHORUS]
I know you're right, you win
I don't want any part of it
You know, what I'm like
I give in, even though You Started It

Oh well baby, you were right
Oh no no no hush hush, you were right
Forget about it baby, you were right
Yeah we argue sometimes but please, not tonight

(Hey, you gon' be okay?
Don't worry about it
Sing)

[CHORUS]
I know you're right, you win
I don't want any part of it
You know, what I'm like
I give in, even though You Started It
I know you're right, you win
I don't want any part of it
You know, what I'm like
I give in, even though You Started It

Yeah we argue sometimes but, not tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight...

You know it all by heart
Why are you standing in one place?
Born to blossom, bloom to perish

Your moment will run out
Cuz of your sex chromosome
I know it's so messed up how our society all thinks (for sure)
Life is short, you're capable (uh huh)

Wind It Up

Wind It Up



High on the hill with the lonely goatherd
Layee odelayee odelay heehoo
Yodel back with the girl and goatherd
Layee odelayee odeloh

Wind it up!
Wind it up!
Wind it up!
Yodelay yodelay yodeloh
(Yeah)

This is the key that makes us wind up
When the beat comes on the girls all line up
And the boys all look but no they can't touch
But the girls want to know why boys like us so much

They like the way we dance, they like the way we work
They like the way the L.A.M.B. is going 'cross my shirt
They like the way my pants, it compliments my shape
(She's crazy, right?)
They like the way we react every time we hear the

Every time the bass bang realize it calls your name
Let the beat wind you up and don't stop till your time is up
Get in line now

Wind it up!
Wind it up!
(Come on)
Wind it up!
Yodelay yodelay yodeloh

You got to let the beat get under your skin
You got to open up and let it all in
But see, once it gets in, the popping begins

Then you'll find out why all the boys stare

See? They're trying to bite our style, trying to study our approach
They like the way we do it, so original
I guess that they are slow, so they should leave the room
This beat is for the clubs and cars that go

Every time the bass bang realize it calls your name
Let the beat wind you up and don't stop till your time is up
Get in line now

Wind it up!
(Whenever you're ready)
Wind it up!
Wind it up!
Wind it up!
Yodelay yodelay yodeloh

Uh huh, this is your moment
Uh huh, come on girl, you know you own it
Uh huh, you know your key is still tick tockin'
Hell yeah, but you know they're watchin'

Get it girl, get it, get it girl
Get it girl, get it, get it girl
To the front, to the side
To the back but don't let him ride

Keep goin' girl, it's your night
Don't let him steal your light
I know he thinks you're fine and stuff
But does he know how to wind you up?
(Come on)

Wind it up!
Wind it up!
Wind it up!
Wind it up!
Yodelay yodelay yodelay, hey

Wonderful Life

Wonderful Life


I haven?t thought of you for years you know
Your memory seems to come and go
Our time meant so much to me
Now you can?t be found

You were the first to want me
The first to love me, the first to need me
Who was the last to know you?
The last to love you? The last to hold you?

It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
(So wonderful)
It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
(So wonderful)
It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
(So wonderful)
Such a wonderful, wonderful life

I thought of you again today
Reminded me how with time I?ve changed
If you only knew what you gave to me
Now you can?t be found

And you were the first I trusted
I learned what love is when we were just kids
When did you get so lost?
And how could you think you?d be better off?

It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
(So wonderful)
Why?d you have to say goodbye?
It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
(So wonderful)
Such a wonderful, wonderful life

Thank you for those special moments
You will always be here in my mind
Did you know you changed my life?
I?m thankful for that time
I?m thankful for that time
I?m thankful for that time

It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
Why?d you have to say goodbye?
(So wonderful)
It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
(So wonderful)
I?m asking why but I?ll never know

It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
(So wonderful)
Why?d you have to say goodbye?
It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
(So wonderful)
Such a wonderful, wonderful life

It?s a wonderful, wonderful life
Such a wonderful, wonderful life

Yummy (feat. Pharrell)

Yummy (feat. Pharrell)



I'm feeling Yummy head to toe (you see me)
Ain't got no patience so let's go (you see me)
Look, I'm diet drama
Wanna spend the night? Don't bring pajamas
Man there's so much heat beneath these clothes (you see me)

Walk in, the place
They know, my face
Encore, sophomore
Only one solo, I swore
Big mouth, applause
Oh please, one more
Wanna hear it before I say naw
Let me check my itinerary
Ummm, alright
Presto, skintight
Escaped & I risked my life
For what? So I can watch them bite
Only one Gwen you can find like this, I mean blow your mind like this
Your key won't shine like this, if it's yours then you know it won't wind like this
(Wind it up)

[CHORUS]
I'm feeling Yummy head to toe (you see me)
Ain't got no patience so let's go (you see me)
Look, I'm diet drama
Wanna spend the night? Don't bring pajamas
Man there's so much heat beneath these clothes (you see me)
I know you've been waiting but I've been off making babies
& like a chef making donuts & pastries
It's time to make you sweat
Sex & sugar is the flavour
Ovens & beaters & graters
Beats made of bongos & shakers
It's time to make you sweat

[Pharrell]
Walk in, the place
They know, my face
Billion-aire boys, ice cream dripping 'cross the floor
Big house, garage, bentleys, ferrar
Wanna go before I say naw
Let me check my itinerary
Ummm, alright
G4, G flight, bed in the back so I have a G night
Good night, hood right?
Ain't no nigga you can find like this, I mean blow your mind like this
Nigga's watch don't shine like this, if it's ticking then it don't tell time like this

[CHORUS]
I'm feeling Yummy head to toe (you see me)
Ain't got no patience so let's go (you see me)
Look, I'm diet drama
Wanna spend the night? Don't bring pajamas
Man there's so much heat beneath these clothes (you see me)

Sex & sugar is the flavour
Ovens & beaters & graters
Beats made of bongos & shakers
It's time to make you sweat

Now sweat, baby
Get stupid, jump up go crazy
L.A.M.B, in 3D
Worldwide across your TV
P you crazy, how'd you get this?
This sounds like disco tetris
Do I have time to connect this?
Let me check my itinerary, Ummm

I came back for my spotlight (for her spotlight)
I disappeared like Houdini (where Houdini?)
If yours didn't come out right (if it's not right)
Go to Kinkos & xerox me

[CHORUS]
I'm feeling Yummy head to toe (you see me)
Ain't got no patience so let's go (you see me)
