"If I keep my mouth shut, the boat will not have to be rocked."
"saturday evenin' and the
Place is about to be closed I'm meeting my baby
Yeah and order my hundredth cup of coffee today
My hands are shakin'
At half past seven I'm sittin here waitin' for
My boy all alone for too long it's after eleven
Yeah I'm tired of waitin' and I'm gonna go home
Cause I don't need this
You never think twice before you break all the rules
You gotta be crazy if you think I'm a fool..."
"There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good
I suppose it could be true, but there are worse things I could do
I could flirt with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes
Press against them when we dance, make them think they stand a chance
Then refuse to see it through, that's a thing I'd never do
I could stay home every night, wait around for mr. right
Take cold showers every day, and throw my life away
On a dream that won't come true
I could hurt someone like me, out of spite and jealousy
I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry
A fact I'll bet you never knew
But to cry in front of you, that's the worst thing I could do..."
"You like snow but only if it's warm
You like rain but only if it's dry
what goes around never comes around to you
You like pain but only if it doesn't hurt too much
You sit...and you wait...to receive
There's an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in your life..."
"Unprodigal daughter and I'm heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last
I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed
I hit the ground running, although I know not what toward
I hit the town feeling, forgetting all that came before
I felt primed and ready, once surrounded by the pawns
I felt culture shocked, but dissuaded, I was not..."
"I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your profits and your prophets
I am your art I am your bytes
I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light
I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And I love you still..."
"I thought of you
And turned to the gate
And on my way came
Up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone
Forgive you why
You hung me out to dry
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by..."
"I'm lookin' for someone who can made me feel
A serious love like juliet's is real
A little impulsive and a boy at heart
A little bit shy but he'll be oh so smart
Superman I need a superman
You got a complicated girl like me
He's gotta be fair and treat me properly yeah
I want him to understand equality
You gotta keep searchin' everywhere in the world
You gotta keep lookin' or you'll miss the feelin'..."
