Settled all my fights from the past Everything I knew wouldn’t last Settled all my strife with a knife and a gun A murderer is what I’ve become Somebody better wash my mouth out Somebody better wash it out Knew a girl I thought was a friend (I thought I knew ya but that ain’t true nah) Everything she’s done, oh she’d defend (You think you weren’t heard, I’ve got the last word) She talked all this shit just to try and bring me down, HEY! But all she’s left with is a dirty mouth (I thought I knew ya but that ain’t true nah) Somebody better wash her mouth out Oh somebody better wash it out He lured her in with charm Made her keep her mouth shut Pulled out all the stops Such a little show- off Thinking I don’t know Play me for a fool Blinding all your friends But the only fool is you The fool is you Somebody better wash his mouth out Somebody better wash it out Somebody better wash his mouth out Somebody better wash it out (You think you weren’t heard I’ve got the last word) Somebody better, somebody better Somebody better wash his mouth out Somebody better wash it out

The Underdog 03:06
I’ve always run with the underdog I never pose as a threat You never thought there would come a day That you would always regret You’re like a bump in the night Your bark is worse than your bite Can try with all of your might but you’re not quite there I more resemble a shark My bite is worse than my bark Ready set go on your mark so you best beware You think you can say whatever you want to Whenever you want to and get away You think you can say whatever you want to Whenever you want to and get away I’ve always been unpredictable Sometimes I wear a disguise But don’t go write your acceptance speech no I’ve got my eye on the prize You’re like a bump in the night Your bark is worse than your bite Can try with all of your might but you’re not quite there I more resemble a shark My bite is worse than my bark Ready set go on your mark so you best beware You think you can say whatever you want to Whenever you want to and get away You think you can say whatever you want to Whenever you want to and get away Run your mouth a million miles go ahead No one hears you when you whine no way

I want a house with lots of acres I want a place with lovely neighbors I want a car that doesn't do the world harm Yeah, I want a life that's long and crazy I want a love that won't say maybe I want friends who always come to my defense Hear me now, hear me loud If you're not sure I'm what you want then get outta my sight if you're not sure I'm what you like Then don't hold me so tight cuz I know what I want, and I know what I like and it could be you There's no use in me being harsh and vulgar Cuz you've already wasted one night on her and I don't got them time to worry about what's all behind Hear me now, Hear me loud If you're gunna give me away You better wrap me up with a bow Cuz I don't wanna stand in your way Of you putting on your show

Woke up on your floor in Brooklyn Opened up my eyes and took in Light flooding through the curtains Oh my head is hurting Stumbled out to streets of concrete Thought if I was quick I could be Out of sight and out of mind Gotta leave the night behind I want the radio up I want the world turned down I want my glass half full I want it all worked out When my heart is breaking, and my mind is racing I want the radio up I want the world turned down I could hide alone at my place Disappear into the subway But that won’t get me nothing That I’m really wanting My heart can get a bit lazy Lines can get a bit hazy You try to call me baby But it’s black or white not maybe There I said it nobody wants to be the one to blame Just forget it, I’ll put my best foot forward and I’m on the run again
5.
Tell me you need it Tell me you mean it Tell me you want my heart make me believe it Just open your blue eyes Let me look inside So I can see everything that you think you can still hide Take all of my heart and hold it the only way to love is to show it Hold me so that I can know just where we both started from Boy you know we're far from perfect Every little fight is worth it We can take the bad and turn it where we both started from Back when we first met How could I forget I could've jumped right in but it wasn't time yet So we took it real slow Letting the love grow and when that day did come I knew I had found home And people think we're meant for each other but it doesn't matter we already know and we don't need the confirmation just to love one another or say it's forever We already know and it's enough for us cause when you know you know
6.
Come on sugar and kiss me You’ve been gone all day did you miss me Let me pour you a stiff drink and you can put up your feet Oh baby I know you work hard To pay for things that I found on your credit card That new dress at the boutique But it wasn’t for me You told me a lie We’re just wasted time How’s this for a pretty little good girl Good girl well I’m not good anymore Take this from a pretty little good girl Good girl well I’m not good anymore Your sugar your sugar and spice She ain’t always ain’t always nice Take this from a pretty little good girl Good girl well I’m not good anymore I’ve got my own little secret I take all your cash and I keep it Tucked away in a suitcase And now I’m leaving I’m leaving I’m leaving yeah! You told me a lie We’re just wasted time You thought you could get away With all of the things you say To cover up all you’ve done But I’ve only just begun Cause I got it out for you And baby it’s over due So don’t bother kissing up I’ve already had enough

Spin 03:14
Like my heartbeat should be racing When the pace is moving too slow Like two shoes tied at the laces When there’re places that I need to go Don’t you know that I’ve been waiting Don’t you know that I’ve been patient too Like a train stuck at a station waiting and eager to move Oh boy you spin me around I can’t keep my feet on the ground Oh boy you’re hurting my heart I don’t know where to stop I don’t know where to start Like when we danced in the kitchen And we were itching to go to your room Like when we first started kissing And we were thinking it started too soon Don’t you know that I’ve been simple Don’t you know that it’s true what I’ve said Like when we slept in the middle squished together with four in the bed Oh boy you spin me around, I can’t I can’t keep my feet on the ground Oh boy, you know you’re hurting my heart I don’t know where to stop I don’t know where to start Like two shoes tied at the laces You’re wearing on my patience Like a train stuck at a station Oh boy you’re hurting my heart

When the frost has taken it's toll upon us and you wanna get back to feeling August When it's hard to keep from chasing tails and you're feeling the need for open sails I've got an idea here let be free to disappear Sun will lead us down the road beach breeze through an open window I've got an idea here, halfway through the hottest year Let's be careless let's be sweet soaking up the summer heat Hey hey hey leave your shoes cause we don't need them going only on our feelings we don't need a reason we're not answering to anyone hey hey hey don't you know you've got me shaking my heart is open for the taking believe me when I'm saying, we're not answering to anyone When it's fear that makes you hold on tighter and you wanna get back to feeling lighter, yeah I've got an idea here, we're out on the ocean pier Wait until the sun goes down, then we're gunna paint the town Hey hey hey leave your shoes cause we don't need them going only on our feelings we don't need a reason we're not answering to anyone hey hey hey don't you know you've got me shaking my heart is open for the taking believe me when I'm saying, we're not answering to anyone

The World is round when I am on the ground Then I'll be flying to another town If the world was flat could you imagine that Then it'd be easy for me to get back oh I keep on packing my bags I'm already off to another place And I keep convincing myself I can fit you inside of my suitcase Oh I don't want to be alone no I don't wanna, I don't wanna go Oh I don't want to be alone no I don't wanna, I don't wanna go When there are miles that separate our smiles and I'm not near you for a little while If you are tall I wouldn't have to call cuz I could see you over the trees and cities oh I keep on packing my bags I'm already off to another place And I keep convincing myself I can fit you inside of my suitcase Oh I don't want to be alone no I don't wanna, I don't wanna go Oh I don't want to be alone no I don't wanna, I don't wanna go But this is the way that it's gotta be You don't want it to show you don't want me to go and you don't want me to leave But when I'm away you're all that I see And when we're apart loves grows in our hearts more than we can believe
10.
You're gunna make me as hard as a rock When I was as soft as a flower You're gunna make me put my walls up It's hard not to do once I'm doubted But you gotta say if you will or you won't you gotta say you will or you won't you gotta Say if you will or you won't cuz Darlin I'm holdin' my breath You gotta show me how to keep it inside So I don't get burned and you're gunna teach me how to not love so hard a lesson I thought I had learned But you gotta say if you will or you won't you gotta say you will or you won't you gotta Say if you will or you won't cuz Darlin I'm holdin' my breath I'm tired of hearing all boys excuses and all of their uses of all of my friends and girls you pick yourselves up and you pick up the pieces and you promise yourselves you won't do that again
