gold ~ 2018
GOLD
I got patience I can wait
But you’ve been taking all damn day
I got no more time to waste
You better show up know what you need to say
Fool you know you gotta
Dig in dig in to me
To find all this something inside of me
Set it free and you will see
My love is gold gold gold
There’s no secret to please me
You make it harder than it needs to be
I know you can feel my heat
You better show up know what you mean to me
There’s a lot of good to be found
But you gotta go way deep down
If you’re able to work it out
I can promise you every part of me everyday
Find the strength you need to work through the pain
Come on baby it will be ok
I can promise you every part of me every day
LEAVE HERE WITH ME
Why haven’t we
Left the scene
Im seeing double baby
I think we’re swimming in trouble baby
Find your phone
I’m really itching to go
We’re the only 2 standing baby
That’s enough champagne baby
I see you all night looking at me
So what do I do with you
Ima need you on your knees
You should leave here with me
Look up at me like you believe
You should leave here with me
It’s 3am oh no
Where did everyone go oh no
They musta figured it out baby
Ima show you how baby
It’s going down
Mouth to mouth
Don’t you look at the time baby
Cause it’s about to fly baby
GHOST
Left me for dead I guess
Kept your secrets under your bed
You never really loved me like you said
Now you want it you want it
Stop calling me at 2am
I’ll never call you back
Switchboards done and closed for the evening
And I told you that
Ain’t no operator in the city gonna connect you to me
Leave a message you can’t reach me cause
I’m off the map
Gonna give you the ghost
Uh oh, Uh oh
Gonna give you the ghost
Uh oh, Uh oh
Gonna give you the ghost
Uh oh
Don’t go digging up graves of our history
Uh oh
Got you feeling like its deja vu
You think you touch me but I slip right through
Ain’t nothing supernatural
I’m that good, I’m that good
Don’t mind if I evaporate into thin air
You try and try to bring me back to life
BAD HABIT
I’ve been bad
Done it all
Wrote my number on the bathroom wall
Drink too much
Chain smoke cigarettes
None of those things have killed me yet
I can quit anytime I wanna
I’m in full control
I don’t wanna need ya
But I can’t let you go
I’ve got a problem that I can’t fix
And that problem is you
You’re the only bad habit that I can’t kick
Bad habit bad habit
I found a man that I can’t quit
And I wish it wasn’t true
You’re the only bad habit that I can’t kick
Bad Habit bad habit
Just your hands
On my hips
Feel so high let me get another hit
Dirty love
It’s my favorite drug
Every night I can’t ever get enough
I admit it
Gotta get it
Don’t try and tell me I need to quit it
Got my own mind
And I ain’t blind
You never get as high as the first time
CAN’T GET YOU OFF MY MIND
Well you must be too shy
Not gonna make a move
Well I guess I’m gonna have to be the one to talk to you
Well I don’t mind cause you look that good
I see you outside smoking on a cigarette
Asking you for a light
You say that I should probably quit
Well all my life no one ever spoke the truth
Maybe I’m crazy baby
For thinking this is something true
Maybe I’m crazy baby
But I can’t I can’t I can’t no
I can’t get you off my mind
From the floor up to your green eyes
Haven’t had a man to call mine
In a real real real long time
I can’t get you off my mind
Oh you better hold me tight
Haven’t had a man to call mine
In a real real real long time
I met your cousin before ever even saw your face
He kept saying Arleigh just thing of them holidays
I can’t lie
Sounded too good to be true
Matter of time
Take a good look at what's standing before you
You know I'm only human
Please don't ask me to do something that I can't do
You know I'm just one woman
But I'm yours I'm yours
Can you say that you're mine
It's only a matter of time
I've been waiting waiting and waiting
For your love to come through
I sit and pray each passing day
For an answer outta you
Because I’m here, I’m here
You must be blind baby
It’s only a matter of time
So won’t you take your time
If it’s all that you need to change your mind
frankie
Frankie's gotta learn to love that man
She thinks he won't ever understand
She gotta figure it out, girl get a plan
If anyone could love her this one can
Girl do you need me to spell it out
Stop building a wall he just gon break it down
I know you want to love him but you don’t know how
You got a man now
You got a rooster in your hen house now
I know you got a mind to shoot him down
Someday somebody's gonna help you out
You got a rooster in your hen house now
Frankie's not afraid to be alone
Letting lonely chill her to the bone
She didn't know she needed it so bad
A man to do what only a man can
Frankie baby let him love you
Let’s go
Dragging your feet through the mud
I’ve waited and waited enough
I’m ready to roll (let’s) get on the road
Baby you’re holding me up
Rumors are running round town
Saying your tying me down
I’m sick of the talk walk the walk
Or maybe I won’t stick around
Tell me what I already know
Tell me that you’re ready to go
So let’s go
I’ve been on my own for too long
You know I’m the one that you want
Don’t press ya luck speed it on up
I know that you love me too much
PLASTIC PARADISE
My sisters mister tricked her into falling in love
Rye whiskey mixed with coca cola’s never enough
Loose lips sink ships, if you come with a secret better keep it
Don’t roll your soul in holy water just to make up
Living in a plastic paradise
You gotta die to feel alive
Nothing takes the tired from your eyes
Oh shake the pillbox in your mind
Promise me promise me, everything’s alright
In your plastic paradise
The streetlights beat like heat right down on us from above
Tall palm tree rows down endless roads you’ve never heard of
Paint drips from lips
If you’ve come for a kiss you better need it
Don’t lose your mind trying to find a fix for your love
I’ve rolled that dice
A thousand times
Your perfect life
Your pretty lies
you’re my party
Your body is my dance floor
I wanna spill my drink all over it
Your words are like a smoke machine
I’m in love with the mystery
We don’t need to go out to have a good time
Everything we need is on the inside
Lock the doors and be alone tonight
You’re the pregame half time and the after show
Red carpet rolling deep in the back of the limo ohhhh
You’re all I need to let go
You’re my party
Of all the boys in the world
You’re my party
Your body is my dance floor
Get Patrick Swayze all over it
Got moves I’ve never seen
The whole world is a champagne room when you’re with me
