Prince - Something In The Water (Does Not Compute) Lyrics

Some people tell me I got great legs
Can't figure out why U make me beg
Does not compute (Does not compute)
Don't not compute (Don't not compute)
U think you're special, well so do I
Why do special women make me cry?
Does not compute (Does not compute)
It don't not compute (Don't not compute)
 
Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water they drink
'Cuz why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad?
 
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U
It don't compute (Don't not compute)
Somethin' mama don't compute (Don't not compute)
What's the hangup? What's the scam?
Guess U think I'm just another 1...1 of your fans
It don't compute (Don't not compute)
Somethin' honey don't compute (Don't not compute)
 
Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water U drink
'Cuz why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad?
 
I've got 2 get 2 U, baby
Some people think I'm kinda smart
Why must a fella stop with U before he starts?
It don't compute, mama (Does not compute)
Somethin' don't compute (Don't not compute)
I'd buy U clothing, buy U fancy cars
But U gotta talk 2 me, baby, tell me who U really r
 
Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water U drink
Why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad?
 
(Must be something in the water U drink)
(Does not compute)
(Don't not compute)
(Don't not compute)
(Must be something in the water U drink)
Bitch -- U think you're special? (Must be something in the water U drink)
So do I
(second coming) (Must be something in the water U drink)
Why in God's name
Do U wanna make me cry?
Why? Why? (Must be something in the water U drink)
I'd do anything 4 U, anything (Must be something in the water U drink)
Why don't U talk 2 me? (Must be something in the water U drink)
Tell me who u r (Must be something in the water U drink)
Don't do this 2 me (Must be something in the water U drink)
Please don't do this (Must be something in the water U drink)
 
Why? Why?
I do love U. I do.
Or else I wouldn't go through all the things I do

N.W.A. - Express Yourself Lyrics

N.W.A. - Express Yourself Video

Yo, man, there's a lot of brothers out there
Flakin' and perpetratin' who scared to kick reality
Yo, Dre, you been doin' all this dope producin'
You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is!
So watchu want me to do...?
 
I'm expressin' with my full capabilities
And now I'm livin' in correctional facilities
'Cause some don't agree wit how I do this
I get straight, and meditate, like a Buddhist
I'm droppin' flavour, my behavior is hereditary
But my technique is very necessary
Blame it on Ice Cube, because he said it get funky
When you got a subject and a predicate
Add it on a dope beat, and it'll make ya think
Some suckers just tickle me pink, to my stomach
'Cause they don't flow like this one
You know what, I won't hesitate to diss one or two before I'm through
So don't try to sing this
Some drop science, well I'm droppin' English
Even if Yella, makes it a cappella
I still express yo I don't smoke weed or sess
'Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
And brain damage on the mic don't manage nuttin
But makin' a sucker and you equal
Don't be another sequel
 
Express yourself
Do it do...
Express yourself
Oh do it
 
Ice Cube, is not for the pop charts
So where should a brother like you start expressin' yourself?
My boy'll show you how! Yo Dre
Watup?
Drop English right about now
Gettin' back to the PG
That's program, and it's easy
Dre is back, New Jacks are made hollow
Expressin' niggers subject because they like to follow the words
The style, the trend, the records I spin
Again and again and again
Yo ya'll on the other end
Watch a brother bringin' dope rhymes, with no help
There's no fessin' or guessin' when I'm expressin' myself
It's crazy to see people be what society wants 'em to be,
But not me!
Ruthless, is the way togo, they know,
Others say rhymes that fail to be original,
Or they kill where the hip-hop starts,
Forget about the ghetto, and rap for the pop charts!
And those musicians, that cuss at home,
But scared to use profanity, when up on the microphone,
Yeh they want reality, but chu won't hear none,
They rather exaggerate a little fiction!
Some say no to drugs, and take a stand,
But after the show they go lookin for the Dopeman!
Oh they ban my group from the radio, 'here, NWA',
They say 'Hell no!'
But chu know it ain't all about wealth,
As long as you make a note to, express yourself!
 
Express Yourself!
Do it do...
Express Yourself!
Oh do it!
 
A lyricist, yo Dre is the name for it,
To make somethin' dope on a record that's what he came for,
Kickin' reality over stand us up,
But it's important to keep it in mind to Express Yourself!!
From the heart if you wanna start and move up the chart then
Expression is big part of it.
You ain't efficient when you flow, you ain't swift,
Movin' like a tortise, full o' rigor mortis!
There's a little bit more to show,
I got rhymes in my mind, embedded like a embryo.
A lesson, all bout expression,
And if you start fessin, i got a smith n weston for ya!
I might ignore you're record, because it has no bottom,
I get loose in the summer, winter, spring and autumn.
It's Dre on the mic gettin physical,
Doin the job, NWA is the lynch mob!
Yes i'm macabre, but chu know you need this,
And the night i just gone, just like a fetus,
Or tumor, heres the rumour, Dre's in the neighbourhood and he's up to no good!
When i start expressin myself, Yella slam me,
Cause if i stay funky like dis, I'm doin damage!
Or I'ma be too hype, and need a straightjacket,
I got knowledge, and other suckers lack it,
So when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic,
Ask what it's like, it's like we gettin hype tonight!
Cause if i strike, It ain't for your good health,
But i won't strike if you just Express Yourself!
 
Express Yourself!
Do it do...
Express Yourself!
Oh do it!

Miley Cyrus - Obsessed Lyrics

Miley Cyrus - Obsessed Video

Why do I just lie awake and think of you?
I need some sleep
Tomorrow I have things to do
Every time I close my eyes I see your face
So I try to read, but all I do is lose my place
 
Am I obsessed with you?
I do my best not to want you
But I do all the time
I do all the time
 
I just had to call you up and say hello
I know it's 3 A.M.
And I saw you awhile ago
But I still had this aching pain to hear your voice
To know your there
I don't seem to have any choice
 
Am I obsessed with you?
I do my best not to want you
But I do all the time
I do all the time
 
Oh yeah
I'm so sorry I just had to wake you up
I feel so lonely by myself
Is this the way it feels when you're in love?
Or is this something else?
Yeah
 
Yeah
 
Am I obsessed with you?
I do my best not to want you
But I do all the time
I do all the time
 
Oooh yeah
But I do all the time, I want you all the time
Am I obsessed with you?

Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror Lyrics

Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror Video

Ooh ooh ooh aah
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
 
As I turned up the collar on
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind
Pretending not to see their need
 
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other
On the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
 
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
Na na na, na na na, na na na na oh ho
 
I've been a victim of
A selfish kinda love
It's time that I realize
There are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me
Pretending that they're not alone
 
A willow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed out dream
(Washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind ya see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
 
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
 
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
 
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways, yeah
(Better change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart
(You can't close your, your mind)
Then you close your mind
 
(That man, that man, that man)
(That man, that man, that man)
(With the man in the mirror, oh yeah)
(That man you know, that man you know)
(That man you know, that man you know)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself then make that change
 
(Na na na, na na na, na na na na)
Ooh
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Na na na, na na na, na na na na)
 
Oh no
Oh no, I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good
Shamone
(Change)
Just lift yourself
You know, you got to stop it yourself
(Yeah)
Oh
Make that change
(I gotta make that change today, oh)
(Man in the mirror)
You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother oh
Yeah
You know that
(Make that change)
(I gotta make that make me then make)
You got, you got to move
Shamone, shamone
You got to
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Make that change
Stand up and lift yourself, now
(Man in the mirror)
Make that change
(Gonna make that change, shamone)
(Man in the mirror)
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know
(Change)
Make that change

Mary J. Blige - I Don't Want To Do Anything Lyrics

Mary J. Blige - I Don't Want To Do Anything Video

If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
 
Listen baby
 
Every night and day
I dream of another way
To tell you something good
I don't think that I'm understood
You walk away and I frown
With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong
You just wanna be loved all night long baby
 
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
 
You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you
But in your smile, I still can't find
And now you tell me this
This is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And I'll love you for you
 
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
 
Now that I know I'm gonna make love to you
So lady open up your heart
And let me in where I belong
 
If loving you is all that I have to do
Then it won't be wrong baby
Cause we belong together baby
 
Together we will be as one
Just me and you, you you you
 
Will you love me
I will love you
Will you please me
I will please you
Girl, don't leave me
I won't leave you
Let's make it easy
I'll make it easy
 
Will you love me
I will love you
Will you please me
I will please you, you, you
Girl, don't leave me
I won't leave you
Let's make it easy
 
They can take my posessions
No, no, no, no, They can never take your love away from me
 
Oh, see now listen, with every breath I breath
And every beat in my heart
I know that no one, I know that no one
Can tear us apart
(Oh no)
Cause I love you baby
I love you too
And I need you baby
I need you to baby
 
Stay with me more than just a day
And you know, you know, you know
 
I love you
Oh yes
Oh you make me feel so good baby

Mariah Carey - Ex-Girlfriend Lyrics

Mariah Carey - Ex-Girlfriend Video

Chorus:
Ex-girlfriend you can't have him
Lt's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go,
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girifriend you don't listen
Stop trying
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go
 
Hey ex-girlfriend
It's too bad when you had him
Y'all thing didn't work
But he's all mine now
So stop pursuing him
Before you get your feelings hurt
See our love is hot
And no, it won't stop
'Cause I got him on lock
And although he rejects you
Lt don't seem to affect you
'Cause you just keep trying
To get wit him
 
So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again
 
Repeat chorus
 
Hey ex-girlfriend
Whatever your name is
 
I'm really not amused
'Cause the things you do
Are very offensive
And sometimes straight up rude
All those late night calis and notes
On his car
Won't get you anywhere
You can call his mom
As much as you want
And he won't really care
 
So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back aqain
 
Repeat chorus
 
I understand why
You want him back
But don't you know
Our love's too strong
For you to penetrate
Lt's too late
He's not your baby no more

Josh Turner - Would You Go With Me Lyrics

Josh Turner - Would You Go With Me Video

Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire
Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher
If we roll from town to town and never shut it down
 
Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover
Would we walk even closer until the trip was over
And would it be okay if I didn't know the way
 
If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Let me know if you're really a dream
I love you so, so would you go with me
 
Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together
Could you not look down forever
If you were lighter than a feather
Oh, and if I set you free, would you go with me
 
If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Help me tie up the ends of a dream
I gotta know, would you go with me
I love you so, so would you go with me

Dido - White Flag Lyrics

Dido - White Flag Video

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
 
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
 
I know I left too much mess and destruction
To come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble, I understand if you
Can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of it's over
Then I'm sure that that makes sense
 
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
 
And when we meet, which I'm sure we will
All that was there will be there still
I'll let it pass and hold my tongue
And you will think that I've moved on
 
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
 
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
 
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
