Grow Up
03:05

Look to the camera, they say you're lovely/
You call it "talent," but you've gotten lucky/
You show your straight teeth and keep your lips loose
to hear the sound of your own voice, it's so cute/
Grow up, baby, it's not your party/
Cry all you want but I won't feel sorry/
You must be joking, don't find you funny/
Take all your problems out on some poor Johnny/
Grow up, baby
If no one sees you, you can amend that/
A little scene and they'll be there, no time flat/
So what's the big deal? Say, it was nothing,
you can do what you want, no discussion/
Grow up, baby, it's not your party/
Cry all you want but I won't feel sorry/
You must be joking, don't find you funny/
Take all your problems out on some poor Johnny/
Grow up, baby
The past is haunting, so you don't look back/
Anyway, somehow your bridges all burnt black/
And you're so done here, nothing left to do
and all your friends are so mean, they don't trust you/
Grow up, baby, it's not your party/
Cry all you want but I won't feel sorry/
You must be joking, don't find you funny/
Take all your problems out on some poor Johnny/
Grow up, baby, grow up baby

Stay Mad
03:39
|

I'm home all day today, just hanging out so maybe/
you could give me a call and
we could go for a walk or something/
I'd like to ride my bike or we could go on a hike/
and just enjoy the summertime and pretend everything is still alright/
But I know deep down that it's not where your head's at/
You would rather stay mad at me/
No matter what you think, or say, or wish, or drink/
it won't change what we both know:
You're no Rolling Stone, I don't tango alone/
I know you won't think twice, but if you'd just be nice/
you might find you kinda like it,
but why should you fix it if you can't ride it?
And I know deep down that it's not where your head's at/
You would rather stay mad at me/
I can't understand, how after all that/
You would rather stay mad at me/
Maybe one of these days you'll start to change your ways/
but 'til then, I don't need to know/
I'd rather be alone and ignorantly blissful/
And I know deep down that it's not where your head's at/
You would rather stay mad at me/
I can't understand, how after all that/
You would rather stay mad at me/
And I know deep down that it's not where your head's at/
You would rather stay mad at me/
It's really a drag, 'cause I'm not all that bad/
but would rather stay mad at me

Listen

This is out of my hands, my heart is in my mouth/
Not knowing what to say isn't stopping it from coming out/
What would you give to me if I told you you could?/
Would it be all the time or only if you're feeling good?
I'm only lonely when I'm not alone/
I enjoy knowing that I'm sleeping at home/
'cause I don't want to talk, I need you to show me/
It's not like it felt before/
I know, and I want more/
Won't make the same mistake, so it's okay/
but I'm not sure/
Don't want to trip a wire/
Don't need a blazing fire/
It's hot enough outside and anyway, it's summertime/
I'm only lonely when I'm not alone/
I enjoy knowing that I'm sleeping at home/
'cause I don't want to talk, I need you to show me/
Listen, listen/
I know it's hard 'cause you've got so much to say/
Listen, listen/
Here comes the night and I won't lie, I'm afraid/
I'm only lonely when I'm not alone/
I enjoy knowing that I'm sleeping at home/
'cause I don't want to talk, I need you to show me/

Hotel Cream

You're so green/
Ooh and you wanna go far/
Hotel Cream/
Ooh and you wanna go far/
Ooh don't you want it? Girl, don't you wanna scream?/
Ooh don't you want it? Honey, don't you wanna see me?/
Ooh don't you want it? Baby, don't you wanna be free?/
You're so sweet/
Ooh and you wanna go far/
Hotel Cream/
Ooh better stay where you are/
Ooh don't you want it? Girl, don't you wanna scream?/
Ooh don't you want it? Honey, don't you wanna see me?/
Ooh don't you want it? Baby, don't you wanna be free?/

"Love, Love, Love"
04:14
|
|||
|
Routines don't thrill me, daddy/
so get your hands on that Chevy and call me/
if you ever want all of me/
My moods change like the weather/
but you can get me hot like Atlanta/
Open up and show a little emotion/
I've been around this whole wide world
and there's not much I don't like trying/
But nothing gets me going quite like a lover who isn't afraid of crying/
"Love, Love, Love," it's not love at all/
if you never talk/
To say it's not enough/
You might be tough, but you're no man at all/
'til the goin's rough and you still show up/
We could be sad and lazy/
or you could make it so I really go crazy/
Get real and tell me just how to feel/
Shallow just tends to bore me/
I want to dip in the deep end, explore it, and stay/
Please, baby, blow me away/
I've worked enough to fill this room with
paper from the floor to the ceiling/
but the hardest thing I've ever tried to do
is to settle for someone who won't talk about feelings/
"Love, Love, Love," it's not love at all/
if you never talk/
To say it's not enough/
You might be tough, but you're no man at all/
'til the goin's rough and you still show up/

Wild Girl
02:58

I've got nobody to hug because I'm a Wild Girl/
I've got nobody to love because I'm a Wild Girl/
Well, my mama tells me it's what I can be/
but my honey warns me to tread carefully/
I've got nobody to hug because I'm a Wild Girl/
I've got nobody to love because I'm a Wild Girl/
Somebody once told me that cowgirls don't get the blues/
but I can assure you that that's not true/
Don't think I don't know what to trust because I'm a Wild Girl/
I've got myself, that's enough because I'm a Wild Girl/
So when my heart tells me it's what I should be/
I just do what I want to and what comes naturally/
I've got nobody to hug because I'm a Wild Girl/
I've got nobody to love because I'm a Wild Girl
