No more gas in the rig
Can't even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said
Can't even speak about it
All my life on my head
Don't want to think about it
Feels like I'm going insane
Yeah

It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
It's too close for comfort

Throw on your break lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must faulter be wise
Your mind is in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight
Your mind is in disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia

Disconnectin' your call
Your phone don't even ring

Or figure this shit out

It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
I feel like a monster

Throw on your break lights
We're in the city of wonder

Closer...x4

Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don`t know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she`s right there in my ear
Telling me that she wants
To own me, to control me
Come closer... (come closer...)
Come closer...

And I just can`t pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
And I just can`t bring myself away
But I don`t want to escape
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can`t stop

I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tongue
Shes the sweetest taste of sin
The more I get the more I want
She wants to own me...
Come closer...
She says, "Come closer.."

And I just can`t pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
And I just can`t bring myself away
But I don`t want to escape
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can`t stop

Come closer... x7

I just can`t stop, noo
I just can`t stop, noo
I just can`t stop, noo
I just can`t stop noo...

And I just can`t pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
And I just can`t bring myself away
But I don`t want to escape
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can`t stop

And I just can`t pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop

Come closer....

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you
But I gotta stay true
My moral’s got me on my knees
I’m begging please
Stop playing games

I don’t know what this is
But you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don’t know what you do
But you do it well
I’m under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you release me
I said you better release me

Now you think that I
Will be some thing on the side
But you got to understand
That I need a man
Who can take my hand, yes I do

I don’t know what this is
But you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don’t know what you do
But you do it well
I’m under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you release me
I said you better release me

I’m begging you for mercy
Just why won’t you release me
I’m begging you for mercy
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging

Mercy
Why won’t you release me
I’m begging you for mercy
Why wont you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
Why won’t you release me
Bring it on

Mercy
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Down on my knees
I said mercy
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging

Whoo... (I can't hear myself...)
No, no, no... (Can you please turn me up a little bit more?)

I was a little different; I didn't do what the best girls do...
You studied my rhythm; now you can speed me up when you want to...
Ooh...

They were to cool to run my race;
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face,
Go head, baby... (Go head, baby.)
Then I knew he was you... (Then I knew he was you.)

But first you took me around, introduced me to your family and friends,
And told them how that once we met, that we would never lose...
Oh, boy...

I decided that you are the him for me (I decided...)
Oh, boy...
Because I decided that you are the him for me (Yes, you are.)
Oh, my boy...

How's it feel to win it, when ain't no mountains that you can't move?
Your mind is like a prism for God's light to shine through...
Ooh...

They were to cool to run my race;
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face,
Go head, baby... (Go head, baby...)
Then I knew it was true! (Then I knew it was you...)

But first you took me around, introduced me to your family and friends,
And told them how that once we met, that we would never lose...
Oh, boy...

I decided that you are the him for me;
Oh, boy...
Because I decided (I decided) that you are the him for me (you are the one for me, baby)
Oh, my boy... (Whoa, boy)

You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (down),
Tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait";
Runnin' me down and tellin' me you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
(Oh, is the way you got me, when you got me baby;
Oh, now you got me baby...)

You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (running),
Tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait" (tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait"...);
Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...

(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...)
Baby, don't break my heart.
(Let me take it from you) Let me take it from you...
Cause we're one, and the closer I get to you, the more fearful I become;
That'll break me in two, honey!

Because I decided that you are the him for me;
Oh, my boy...

(Yes, I...)
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (runnin' me, runnin' me down);
Tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait";
Runnin' me down and tellin' you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
(That's the way you got me, baby;
That's the way you got me, baby, runnin' me down...)

Here come the girls…

Mmmmm oh yeah..

Whoah Oh I don’t need no man with me

Chorus:

Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)

Slipin’ on my little black dress
5 inches I’m bound to impress
Turn it up, I’m a little temptress
Monroe’s got nothin’ on me
Read my curves like poetry
Tonight we rule the world, beware cos here come the girls
Tonight we rule the world, beware cos here come the girls

[Chorus]
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)

Here the whistle as I walk by
Shine like a crystal all through the night
One look will make a grown man cry
Step aside I got a starring role
Camera, Action, Here we go
Tonight we rule the world, beware cos here come the girls

[Chorus]
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)

I’m filled with sexuality
With or without a man I feel complete
Stop speculating, I’m a regular girl
All independent women know
We got the guts to run the show
Don’t let no boy tell you nothing
You’re in control

[Chorus x2]
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)
Here come the girls! (Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls)

you're standing at the door
i'm falling to the floor
you look even better than you did before
i'm staring at my feet
wondering if i can do this
it's been a while but i couldn't forget you

just a little look has got me feeling things
just a little taste has got me seeing things
just a little touch has got me off the chains
doing things i don't want to

do it like you do it to me (i'm burning up)
do it like you do it to me (it's not enough)
do it like you do it to me just open up don't you know how much i want you

we're sitting real close and i can feel your breath
i wanna touch your hand but i lay back
cuz you know this thing could spiral in the night
i've changed my mind i'm ready for you this time

we're sitting real close i can feel your breath
i wanna touch your hand but i lay back
we're sitting real close i can feel your breath
i wanna touch your hand i cannot fight it off

Verse 1:

Ohh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Ohh easily, the climax of the perfect lie.
Ohh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Ohh easily, smile worth a hundred lies.

If there’s lessons to be learned, I’d rather get my jamming words in first so, tell you something that I’ve found, that the worlds a better place when it’s upside down boy.

If there’s lessons to be learned, I’d rather get my jamming words in first so, when your playing with desire, don’t come running to my place when it burns like fire boy.

Chorus:

Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh

Verse 2:
Blue, blue, blue, waves they crash as time goes by, so hard to catch. Too, too smooth, ain’t all that, why don’t you ride on my side of the tracks.

If there’s lessons to be learned, I’d rather get my jamming words in first so, when your playing with desire, don’t come running to my place when it burns like fire boy.

Chorus:
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
(fading out)
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high and my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I go back to black

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black

I go back to
I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her, and I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make a move, I'm shaking off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years

Steady hands, just take the wheel
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal
For the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, ohhh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here, not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see

They're trying to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could

Steady feet, don't fail me now
I'm a-run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here, not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see

As life goes on
I'm starting to learn more and more about responsibility
And I realize that everything I do
Is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that I've done
Things that haven't occurred yet
And things that they don't want
To take responsibility for

I'm sorry for the times that I left you home
I was on the road and you were alone
I'm sorry for the times that I had to go
I'm sorry for the fact that I did not know
That you were sitting home just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I'm sorry for the times I would neglect
I'm sorry for the times I disrespect
I'm sorry for the wrong things that I've done
I'm sorry I'm not always there for my sons
I'm sorry for the fact that I'm not aware
That you can't sleep at night when I am not there
Because I'm in the streets like everyday
I'm sorry for the things that I did not say
Like how you are the best thing in my world
And how I'm so proud to call you my girl

I understand that there's some problems
And I'm not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can't apologize for being wrong
Then it's just a shame on me
I'll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me

I'm sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn't know what to do
I'm sorry that you had to go and sell those bags
Just trying to stay busy until you heard from dad
When you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though pops treated us like kings
He got a second wife and you didn't agree
He got up and left you there all alone
I'm sorry that you had to do it on your own
I'm sorry that I went and added to your grief
I'm sorry that your son was once a thief
I'm sorry that I grew up way to fast
I wish I would of listened and not be so bad
I'm sorry that your life turned out this way
I'm sorry that the feds came and took me away

I understand that there's some problems
And I'm not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can't apologize for being wrong
Then it's just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me

I'm sorry that it took so long to see
But they were dead wrong trying to put it on me
I'm sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I'm sorry for the hand that she was dealt
And for the embarrassment that she felt
She's just a little young girl trying to have fun
But daddy should of never let her out that young
I'm sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage?
In a 21 and older club they say
Why doesn't anybody want to take blame?
Verizon backed out disgracing my name
I'm just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans
I'll take that blame

Even though the blame's on you
Even though the blame's on you
Even though the blame's on you
I'll take that blame from you
And you can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me
You can put that blame on me
And You can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me

Since we talked
Half the night
Feelin' good
Feelin' right

Words were spoke
Brought us close
When we touched it was overdose

On the road
You're back there
You're my friend Darlin' Dear

Open up
Let me in
I'm your paladin

When your smile
Shines on me
I am the seducee

We will fly everywhere
You're my friend Darlin' Dear

Party plans
Get the phone
Did you read Rolling Stone

Knowing you knocks me out
I am your roustabout
Pretty good atmosphere
You're my friend Darlin' Dear

Oh baby
Oh baby

After all of the times that we've tried, I found out we were living a lie;
And after all of this love that we made, I know now you don't love me the same...
The way that I love you (the way that I love you)
The way that I love you (the way that I love you)
The way that I love you (the way that I love you)

I woke up kinda early today,
And something told me from that moment, it wouldn't be the same;
It felt like you were hiding something,
But I didn't push it, I didn't complain or say nothin';
I tried to act like I didn't see it,
'Cause deep down, I knew I didn't want to believe it;
But there it was, it was you and her:
You left your Sidekick on the nightstand, and I read
Everything you did, and everything you said,
And now I'm standing here looking like, "Damn..."
I thought it was you and I...
Now I all I got to say is "Why?"

After all of the times that we've tried, I found out we were living a lie;
And after all of this love that we made, I know now you don't love me the same...
The way that I love you (the way that I love you)
The way that I love you (the way that I love you)
The way that I love you (the way that I love you)

I notice now, that when I'm around,
You be tryin' to lock the door, whispering on the phone;
Now, wait a minute; since we been in this house,
You ain't never did this before; Tell me, what's this about?
I tried to sit and say to myself,
"This here is too good; he don't want nothing else"
But there it was, it was you and her:
You left your credit card receipt inside the Beamer;
Read everything you bought her, and everything you spending,
Now I'm standing here, once again;
I thought it was you and I...
Now all I have to say is "Why?"

After all of the times that we've tried, I found out we were living a lie;
And after all of this love that we made, I found out you don't love me the same...
The way that I love you (the way that I love you)
The way that I love you (the way that I love you)
The way that I love you (the way that I love you)

You lied... you lied... oh why, oh why?
Yes, Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why?

After all of the times that we've tried, I found out we were living a lie;
And after all of this love that we made, I know now you don't love me the same...
The way that I love you (the way that I loved you)
The way that I love you (the way that I loved you)
The way that I love you (the way that I loved you)
