Macy Gray - On How Life Is
We went out one night
Everything went right
We got something started
It was outta sight
We had such a good time
Hey! Why didn't you call me?
I thought I'd see you again
By the phone I wait
Staring into space
Thinking about our first kiss
Out on our first date
We had such a good time
Hey! Why didn't you call me?
I thought I'd see you again.
Why don't you call me again?
And I'm gonna ask
When I see you again
Thought you would be my man my lover my friend
I never thought it would end so quickly
It would end
I've resorted to
Hanging up on you
I know you know it's me
How else will I talk to you
We had such a good time
Hey! Why didn't you call me
I thought I'd see you again
Why don't you call me again
And I'm gonna ask
When I see you again
Thought you would be my man my lover my friend
I never thought
It would end so quickly
We had such a good time
Hey! Why didn't you call me
I thought I'd see you
I thought I'd see you
I thought I'd see you again
Like Cleopatra got the masses at my feet
Gotta living dwell down on easy street
And I'm the latest craze
And if you stay awhile
Inevitably you gonna bite my style in your later days
Now let me tell you what is fact and what is true
I get high a lot ain't got much to do
I'm always in a daze
That was just a dream I had last night in my bubble bath
Next to my wishing well
Get up get out and do somethin
Don't let the days of your life pass you by
Get up get out and do somethin
Cuz you and I got to do for you and I
What's been happenin? How you doin? Where you been?
I'm further behind now then I was back then
Lost in some ole maze
Some years have passed me by
All I want is to go get high
I'll get it together some other day
In my dreams I dwell cuz all my dreams are swell
Get up get out and do somethin
Don't let the days of your life pass you by
Get up get out and do somethin
How will you make it if you never even try?
Get up get out and do somethin
Can't spend your whole life trying to get high
You got to get up get out and do somethin
Cuz you and I got to do for you and I
In my dreams I dwell cuz all my dreams are swell
And you would too, If you could see them
That's when I know
I gotta go get up get out
Heaven's at my feet, gotta living dwell down on Easy Street
I'm the latest craze
That was just a dream I had
Last night in my bubble bath next to my wishing well
Get up get out and do somethin
Can't spend your whole life tryin to get high
You got to get up get out and do somethin
Cuz you and I gotta do for you and I
Hush the neighbors hear you moanin and groanin
But I just can't help it 'specially when we be bonin
"I can take your fears away"
He said "it's so much better when you do it my way"
I could not believe it
Hey what's your name?
Beau doh doh dah
He's something like my favorite movie
Beau doh doh dah
I wanna see him again and again
Beau doh doh dah
He's like my disco - he's really groovy
Beau doh doh dah
When we go out I'm gonna let him in
He wanna fight and make me feel like nothing
Never lovin but we're always fuckin
"I can take your fears away"
But I kinda miss them now that they've gone astray
I could not believe it
Hey what's your name?
Beau doh doh dah
He's something like my favorite movie
Beau doh doh dah
I wanna see him again and again
Beau doh doh dah
He's like my freight train - he really moves me
Beau doh doh dah
When we go out I' m gonna let him in
Beau doh doh dah
He's somethin like my 7-Eleven
Beau doh doh dah
He got me open like an all night store
Beau doh doh dah
He's like my blue skies - he's next to heaven
Beau doh doh dah
He give me some and then I want some more
Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together
But we're not
I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin.
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Here is my confession
May I be your possession
Boy I need your touch
Your love kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny
I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Superlove is somethin' that they say is very rare
In the dark, in your world it's everywhere
And I feel like an x x rated movie star
It's the way you love me down
It's the way you love me down
Everytime we kiss you bring out the woman in me
Everytime you holler out my name you set me free
I am a sex-o-matic Venus freak when I'm with you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to.
I am the automatic easy freak all over you.
And I will stop it only when you tell me to
Superlove
Gimme some. some. some.
We are the genius of love
Feel like an x x rated movie star
It's the way you love me down
It's the way you love me down
Everytime we kiss you bring out the woman in me
Everytime you holler out my name you set me free
I am a sex-o-matic Venus freak when I'm with you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to
When we seek and hide
When my hands are tied
69 positions and
Whip cream all over my skin
Lick you from bottom to roof
Love to get down with you
I am the sex-o-matic Venus freak when I'm with you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to
I am the automatic easy freak all over you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to
I tried to live without you
What a misery it turned out to be
Sorry for the times I doubted you
Can't seem to get nowhere 'less you're next to me
And everyday I wonder what it would be like
Just to see the one who's always by my side
Lookin' out for you and I
I do my best to do right got to get to the way up high
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu
So glad to have a love that's true
And I wanna thank you now for seeing me through
I'll never be the fool to go astray
Gonna stick with you always
And everyday I wonder what it would be like
Just to see the one who's always by my side
Lookin out for you and I
I do my best to do right got to get to the way up high
Oh my lord I can't wait to meetchu
Love the life I'm livin though I'm looking forward to the day I die
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu
I'll never be enough to give what you give me
But I could sing my heart out for you and tell everybody
All that he asks of us is only to believe
Disappear your low low lows and your woe woe woes
Just like that, it's a natural fact
I can't wait 'til he gets back
I do my best to do right got to get to the way up high
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu
Love the life I'm livin' though I'm looking forward to the day I die
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu
In my last year with him there were bruises on my face
In my dawn and new day
I finally got away
But my head's all messed up and he knows
Just what to say
No more dawn and new days
I'm goin' back to stay
Why say bye bye
When it only makes me cry
I still
Light up like a candle burnin' when he calls me up
I still
Melt down like a candle burnin everytime we touch
Oh say what you will
He does me wrong and I should be gone
I still
Be lovin you baby and it's much to much
We are going down
Cuz you're always getting high
And your crumbs of lovin
No longer get me by
Wow! It gets better everytime that we get high
Then your crumbs of lovin
They somehow get me by
Why say bye bye
When it only makes me cry
I still
Light up like a candle burnin when he calls me up
I still
Melt down like a candle burnin everytime we touch
Oh say what you will
He does me wrong and I should be gone
I still
Be lovin you baby and it's much too much
Can't I go my severed way?
Some rain for my sunny day
Not even one reason to stay
Why?
I should've left you
Why?
I can't fogetcha baby
Why?
Ever since I metcha it's
Why?
I still
Light up like a candle burnin' when he calls me up
I still
Melt down like a candle burnin' everytime we touch
Oh say what you will
He does me wrong and I should be gone
I still
Be lovin' you baby it's much too much
My baby works down at the boulevard cafe
Just a fine young man with big dreams
Trying to make his own way
The owner is this mean ole bitch who degrades
Him everyday
Then she fires him for no reason
Don't wanna give him his last pay
I've committed murder and I think I've got away
I'm hiding at my mother's house come get me right away
right away
I have no intention of paying for my crime don't fear
We're gonna get the next plane outta here and fly away
Fly away
When he's down it breaks my heart to see him
So I figured I'd talk to her woman to woman
I walk in and she's countin her cash
Got so much cash her office looks like a green pasture
I said "give him the little bit of money you owe him"
She said "get back bitch I ain't givin you shit"
I said "you ole bag, maybe you ain't heard but them are fightin words"
I've committed murder and I think I got away
I'm hiding at my mothers house come get me right away
right away
I have no intention of paying for my crime don't fear
We're gonna get the next plane outta here and fly away
And I don't feel bad about it
See baby there was this struggle
And I don't feel bad about it
As a result of our struggle
And I don't feel bad about it
But the good thing is
And I don't feel bad about it
We don't have to struggle no more
With a suitcase full of money
We flew to a Jamaican paradise
One thing I've learned through all of this is
Having money sure is nice
Me and my baby got married
He's working hard to make his dreams come true
As far as regrets I don't have any
Would you?
I've committed murder and i think I got away
I'm hiding at my mother's house come get me right away
Right away
I have no intention for paying for my crime don't fear
We're gonna get the next plane outta here and fly away, fly away
I saw a rainbow just earlier today
Lately those rainbows be comin' round like everyday
Deep in the struggle I have found the beauty of me
God is watchin' and the devil finally let me be
Here in this moment to myself
I'm gonna vibe with no one else
There is a conversation I need to have with me
It's just a moment to myself
They're all lookin at you, you've got everything to lose
Get up and dance girl, sing your tu-rah-loo-rah-loo
And quit bitchin bout how don't nobody really love you
Spread your rubber lovin and it bounces back to you
Here in this moment to myself
I'm gonna vibe with no one else
There is a conversation I need to have with me
It's just a moment to myself
Flowers are bloomin' under gray skies and moons
Seems like I'm winnin' everytime I lose
And the answers I been looking for been here all this time
Spread my rubber lovin' and everything was fine
Here in this moment to myself
I'm gonna vibe with no one else
There is a conversation I need to have with me
It's just a moment to myself
All I ever wanted was some love and peace and harmony
I could dance in the raw in the sun underneath the stars
When I walk over to my money tree ain't nobody there trying to take from me
When they ask "Are you truly free?" I'd say "Yes, truly"
But down here in reality everybody knows there ain't no such thing
And it's clear
It's obviously this is not the place I'm supposed to be
On and on and on I've searched
What I'm lookin for is not here on earth
I can't stand I can't take no more
So I know that I gotta go
So long everybody
Mama don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache and now I am finally free
Don't know where I'm headed
Hope I see you someday soon
So long everybody
I have gone beyond the moon
All I ever wanted,love and the peace and the harmony
Just to be live and shine
When I get ready I up and fly
And I can't remember none of the things that I want to forget
It's the best - satisfaction no less
Ask if I'm free and I'll say "Oh yes"
But down here in reality everybody knows there ain't no such thing
And it's clear
It's obviously this is not the place I'm supposed to be
On and on and on I've searched
What I'm lookin for is not here on earth
I can't stand I can't take no more
So I know that I gotta go
So long everybody
Mama don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache and now I am finally free
Don't know where i'm headed
Hope I see you someday soon
So long everybody
I have gone beyond the moon
Before I do
Just one more look at you
It's worth the stay
But I'll meet you later at that better place
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted was
So long everybody
Mama don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache and now I am finally free
Don't know where I'm headed
Hope I see you someday soon
So long everybody
I have gone beyond the moon
