Katy Perry - Mannequin Lyrics

Katy Perry - Mannequin Video

How do I get closer to you
When you keep it all on mute?
How will I know the right way to love you?
 
Usually the queen of figuring out
Breaking down the man is no work out
But I have no clue
How to get through to you?
 
I wanna hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knockin' on wood
Hopin' there's a real boy inside
 
'Cause you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
But you're not a man
 
I wish I could just turn you on
Put a battery in and make you talk
Even pull a string for you
To say anything
 
But with you there is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch of broken parts
And I can't seem to find your heart
 
I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
This one's outta my hands
I can't put you back together again
 
'Cause you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
But you're not a man
 
You're just a, a toy
Could you ever be
A real, real boy
And understand?
But you're not a man
 
If the past is the problem,
Our future could solve 'em, baby.
I could bring you to life,
If you let me inside, baby
This'll hurt, but in the end
You'll be a man
 
You're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real,
A toy, could you ever be a real, real boy?
Understand
But you're not a man
 
You're not a man,
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real,
But you're not a man

Karen Clark-Sheard - God Is Here Lyrics

Karen Clark-Sheard - God Is Here Video

There is a sweet anointing in the sanctuary
There is a stillness in the atmosphere
O come and lay down the burdens you have carried
For in the sanctuary God is here.
 
He is here, He is here
To break the yoke and lift the heavy burden
He is here, He is here
To heal the hopeless heart and bless the broken.
 
O come and lay down the burdens you have carried
For in the sanctuary God is here
 
Speak Lord, Speak Lord
Speak Lord, Speak Lord
Speak Lord, Speak Lord
Speak Lord, Speak Lord
Speak Lord, Speak Lord
Speak Lord, Speak Lord
Speak Lord, Speak Lord
 
O come and lay down the burdens you have carried
For in the sanctuary God is here

K-Ci & Jojo - Just For Your Love Lyrics

K-Ci & Jojo - Just For Your Love Video

I see the tears
I caused you to cry
Now I know it was a mistake
When I lied
Not a day goes by
I don't wish to see your eyes
I wish I could bring you back my way
Everyday for your love I pray
For your love baby
For you love
I would do anything baby
For your love
I would go
Anywhere honey
And just for your love, I would do anything
It's been a while
Since I felt your embrace
Things are so sad in my dreams
All I see is your face
I dream about the day you said goodbye
For you your lover I'll climb any mountain
It doesn't matter how high baby
For your love
I would do anything baby
For your love
I would go anywhere honey
And just for your love, I would do anything
Anywhere
Anything
Just name the song and baby I'll sing
There is nothing I wouldn't do for you

Jon Secada - Mental Picture Lyrics

Jon Secada - Mental Picture Video

(Lyrics & Music by Jon Secada & Miguel Morejon)
 
I've been avoiding things I'm missing
Then you came into my life a brand new flower, baby
A reminder of what happiness is like
On the other side
What can't I feel?
(I'm saying my blind side)
 
Chorus
And if a mental picture 's all I've got, to go on
For a while or more
Girl you know I'll always think of you, think of you
Yes if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on, I know
You're a picture to remember.
 
Time was of the essence
And as usual the day turns into minutes
Sharing love and tenderness
That's the nerve you struck in me that sent a signal
To the other side
Girl I don't know
I'm saying my blind side.
 
Chorus
And if a mental picture 's all I've got, to go on
For a while or more
Girl you know I'll always think of you, think of you
Yes if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on, I know
You're a picture to remember.
 
Take me to the other side
Why can't I feel?
Out of my blind side.
 
Chorus
And oh if a mental picture's all I've got
All I've got to go on
For a while or more
Girl you know I'll always think of you, think of you
Yes if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on, I know
You're a picture to remember, remember.

Uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh (uh) uh (uh) uh-uh-uh
Uh (uh) uh (uh) uh-uh-uh
Uh (uh) uh (uh) uh-uh-uh
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Hey yo I got land cars and jewelry, and artillery
And I got every hood feelin me
It's nuttin like when a thug get at you and spit thug literature
Your fanbase wanna get rid of you
Still in the hood doin it
I don't know why I'm doin this, we don't eve move a lot of units
But ain't no threats, don't stress me dog
You gotta let me hear somethin to impress me dog
When I spit I put rappers in line, then smack 'em around
I got 'em all home practicin now
You know 'Kiss be, icey hard and crispy
The truck's manual but the Coupe is 6-B
Listen I ain't never spit nonsense
I'm from the street with a mean vocabulary contents
Whoever you send I'll send back
Y'all all been wack; 'Kiss is makin a strong impact
C'mon
 
(Chorus: Nate Dogg)
(When 'Kiss, is spittin) They don't love you no more
(When 'Kiss, is spittin) Things will never be the same a-gain
(When 'Kiss, is spittin) Why they hatin on you
(Jada) It's just like that, ha! (When 'Kiss, is spittin)
 
(Jadakiss)
Uh, uh, yo, yo
Sinnin or not, I'm grinnin a lot, spendin a knot
Dirty denim and a cinnamon fox
Bitches'll follow, gangsters'll ride, gentlemen watch
Buy the bar, leave drunk, shoot up the block
You might hear 'Kiss spittin, but after the show
You might hear clips spittin, we after your glow
Things'll never be the same again
When your frame get bent, link get worn, change get spent
Confiscate your whip you think you a player?
I could confiscate your bitch, take her and slay her
If a nigga nicer than me, then Christ is here
You got somethin in the bank? Then the dice is here
I could show you how to gamble your money, handle a gun
But be a family man and go home to your son
Light a candle where you stand, cause that's where you died
And if you heard 'Kiss spittin, then you know it was won, uh
 
(Chorus)
 
(Jadakiss)
Yo, yo
Hey yo the voice got a lot of people heated, peep it
The flow is like methadone lot of people need it
Seen it all happen before
Feel like I'm still hustlin; cause the way I'm rappin is raw
You could put your jewels on it
You might just see me in the lightning pickup with the 22's on it
The stakes'll cost you; understand one thing
I do great field work plus I'ma boss too
Loyalty is hard to come by
Y'all know who the streets is run by, could only be one guy
And that be who but 'Kiss, no security
The burner and some niggaz that I grew up with
And the brand new 911, fuck a dime
With a fine eleven at stop signs I'm revvin
And the flow is just so obnoxious
As far as the Double R camp go, dawg I got this, c'mon now
 
(Chorus w/o Jada (repeat 2X))

Heart - Barracuda Lyrics

Heart - Barracuda Video

So this ain't the end, I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
Smile like the sun, kisses for everyone
And tales it never fails
 
You lyin' so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you? Barracuda
Oh
 
Back over time we were all tryin' for free
You met the porpoise and me, oh
No right, no wrong selling a song
A name whisper game
 
And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
Ooh, barracuda
Oh, yeah
 
Sell me, sell you the porpoise said
Dive down deep, now, save my head
You
I think that you got the blues, too
 
All that night and all the next
Swam without lookin' back
Made for the western pools
Silly, silly fools
 
The real thing don't do the trick
No, you better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Ohh, barra-barracuda, yeah
 
Ooh, hey!

Fun. - Some Nights Lyrics

Fun. - Some Nights Video

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
 
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
 
This is it, boys, this is war what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
 
And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...
 
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win...
 
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know... (come on)
 
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
 
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!
 
Well, this is it guys, that is all five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
 
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call love
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights...ahhh...
 
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
 
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...

Foxy Brown - My Life Lyrics

Foxy Brown - My Life Video

(Nigga, uh)
Yeah, huh (nigga uh)
Why don't ya'll take a look into my life?
See what I see
(Nigga uh, nigga, nigga, nigga uh)
 
At the age of fourteen, introduce to coops
Learnin' how to seduce niggaz takin' they loot
Quickly, got involved with this money lifestyle
The finer things, all kinda things, power, money
Cars and diamond rings, and nice braids, flaunt it
The Gucci boots with the G's on it
A high price for this 'high price' life
 
While I'm on tour is my man cheatin' just for spite?
And if you only knew I hold my minks at nights with cheap
Or no other hands can hold me right
My girls ain't the same, guess it's cuz the fame
Bitches smile in my face and throw dirt on my name
Mad cuz I made it, now friends intimidated
Hate it that I'm in the same game as them
With mo' fame than them, they know who they are
This life is no joke, got us havin' to broke
 
You was my sister, who used to dream together
How we could make it real big, do our thing together
Huh, Thelma & Louise together, remember them days?
Them niggas we played? Now we don't even speak
Went our seperate ways, seperate lives
Lost friendship for pride, playin' the game
About to forfeit high price life, I can't afford it
 
1 My life, do ya feel what I feel?
My life, a black girl's ordeal my life
Do ya see what I see?
Have you been where I've been?
Can you go where I go?
 
My life
Do ya'll know what it feels like?
Do ya'll know what it be like?
Do ya see what I see?
Have you been where I've been?
Can you go where I go?
 
Daddy's girl, in his wildest dreams
Said he think that lil' Ing will be illest in this rap-thing
Age 4 in my mother's shoes, swore I could sing
And even as a little girl I was doin' my thing
Uh, confused, I ain't asked to be born
Nigga so dumb, shoulda used a condom
Ask mommy every day, when daddy gon' come?
But he never showed up
 
I would pimp for them, became demented, then men?
Resented them, just the scent of 'em made me earl
'Specially the baller ones tryin' to buy me with pearls
All I needed was love, all I wanted was love
 
Lack of love had me fallin' for thugs
The niggas who ain't care, just like Daddy
If he ain't care, why should they?
For this 'high price' life, it's the price I pay
 
Repeat 1
 
All my girls cross the world that feel what I feel
Hearts bruised, then been way I been, keep it movin'
Let him do his thing, I'm the one he's lovin'
I'm here to show ya'll, havin' a kid ain't meanin' nuthin'
 
That ain't keepin' him, 'specially if he in love with another chick
Then you stuck with the 'babymother-shit'
Don't be lovin' niggas more than yaself
Let 'em roam, a dog always finds his way home
 
Shit, ya'll don't wanna take my place, cashin' cases
Spit in faces, I never seem falsely accused
While some say it's rude
But if I was a dude, they all be amused
But I'm a woman, so I'm a bitch, simple as that
Double-standards, call him a Mack, call me a hoe
Say I'm in it for the dough, but tell me
What tha fuck he in it for?
 
Wanted it all, now it's all mine
Loneliness, sorrow, confusion and pain
Nightmares, headlines, Rapper found slain
If it wasn't for my moms I'd drown in this pain
Now ya'll see what it's like, ya'll don't wanna be me
Cuz it ain't always what it seem on TV
Shit, but this is my '9 to 5' ya'll
Sometimes I wanna slit my wrist and end my life ya'll
 
Repeat 1 until fade

Flaw - My Letter Lyrics

Flaw - My Letter Video

This is my letter to you
We started following a certain description
We started simple and fair, once again
Before there wasn't any need for an answer
Things were much different then, but
 
Now you question who I am, who I am inside
Now there's nothing left to hide, so here it goes,
This is my letter
 
Hope you're alright, it's been rough for me
Thinking all night, about the places I'd be
If I'd maybe, just did a little bit more
You might've let me, become a man for sure
And if I might, express one concern
It seems an issue, all day at every turn
What's the next step, the latest hole in my life
What's next for me to learn?
 
What's next for me to learn?
 
Engulf myself into a permanent mystery
No one day just as the next (Not for me)
It's so confusing when I look at my history
I just can't handle that yet, no
 
Now you question who I am, who I am inside
Now there's nothing left to hide, so here it goes,
This is my letter
 
Hope you're alright, it's been rough for me
Thinking all night, about the places I'd be
If I maybe, just did a little bit more
You might've let me, become a man for sure
And if I might, express one concern
It seems an issue, all day at every turn
What's the next step, the latest hole in my life
What's next for me to learn?
 
One more friendship ends, and then for awhile
I can breathe again
 
Hope you're alright, it's been rough for me
Thinking all night, about the places I'd be
If I maybe, just did a little bit more
You might've let me, become a man for sure
And if I might, express one concern
It seems an issue, all day at every turn
What's the next step, the latest hole in my life
What's next for me to learn?
 
What's next for me to learn?
