Poor Girl's Dream

This guy that I met last week said, “I’ll show you around if you come with me,
If you come with me”
He said, “I do think that it’s a pity,
You live alone in this big bad city,
Would you like some company?
I’ll show you around if you come with me
I’ll show you around if you come with me”
And he said, “Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
And he said, “Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
He said, “I’ll show you around if you come with me, yea
Take you out, treat you like a lady,
Buy you things that you’ve never seen”
A rich boy’s a poor girl’s dream
A rich boy’s a poor girl’s dream
A rich boy in a poor girl dream, singing,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
And he said,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
But baby, I’m on my own
In a city I don’t call home
There’s already so much that I find thrilling!
And even if you get on your knees,
I’m never gonna give in with ease
So go find someone wild and willing!
Yea, yea, yea
He said, “I’ll show you around and I’ll treat you well
I’ll put you under my spell
Then I’ll break you and your self-esteem”
A rich boy’s a poor girl’s dream
A rich boy’s a poor girl’s dream
A rich boy in a poor girl dream, singing,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
And he said,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
And he said,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
And he said,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?”

Changed Situations
04:22
|

Do you even remember
The time when we first met?
And we were getting along,
We had a friendship so strong
Like nothing could end it.
You told me you were a loner
I told you I’ve been alone a hundred times
When I needed someone
And life wasn’t fun
And I thought I couldn’t take it
And I can’t take these
Changed situations
Can’t take these awkward moments
And strained relations
We were so happy
But something happened
You never told me what’s wrong
And then we played along until we lost our patience
So now things are different
I put on a smiling face to hide
The things that can’t be explained
The words that got so ingrained
In something deep inside
We made no effort
We couldn’t even look eye-to-eye at all
But time killed the rest,
Put our friendship to test
And I don’t even recall, don’t wanna even recall
These crazy changed situations
Can’t take these awkward moments
And strained relations
We were so happy
But something happened
You never told me what’s wrong
And then we played along until we lost our patience
And I won’t regret it all
Go on and forget it all
And I won’t regret it all
Go on and forget it all
We were so happy
But something happened
You never told me what’s wrong and I just played along until we lost our patience
And I can’t take these
Changed situations
Can’t take these awkward moments
And strained relations
It’s not the same
It’s not the same
It’s not the same
It’s not the same
It’s not the same
It’s not the same

Rush
05:39
|

Keep it real
Play it cool
I get a rush when I look at you
Do it right
Do it well
We either go home tonight or we go to hell
Tripping on this feeling
I'm suspended from the ceiling
Take me over
Take me in
Destroy my inhibitions
Listen to your own volition
I'm the hunger
You're the food
I get a rush
I get a rush
I get a rush from you
Light it up
Let it out
You're just a fool for the things that you oughta live without
Pour me a drink
Make it strong
But it won't last
Even half as long
Cuz you have the power
You are a high
Sweet satisfaction I can't deny
I get a rush
I get a rush
I get a rush from you

Dreaming
05:23

Should’ve known, should’ve known
Exactly what she was saying.
She didn’t know, didn’t know
How much attention he was paying.
He was distracted by something else that crossed his mind.
So she went up to him and said, “What’s the problem, boy?”
And he said, “Sorry, ma’am but I was busy..”
Dreaming (x3)
Many years went by.
She was the girl he always wanted.
She never noticed his mind
Was the place she always haunted.
She was distracted by every other guy around.
So he went up to her and said, “Babe, won’t you be mine?”
And she said, “Sorry, honey. You must be...”
Dreaming (x3)
What was he supposed to do?
When everyone around him never really knew
Exactly what he was going through.
He was a victim of fantasy
It took more than ‘being a man’ to see
Just what a dreamer could do.
But he never knew that.
There he was, there he was
And all the people stood before him.
He strummed his guitar
And all the people they screamed for him.
He never thought that he’d be loved for
Just what he did best.
So when he sang he sang about
All that he’d been through
And he blamed it on the fact that
All he was really good at was
Dreaming (x3)
Dreaming (x3)
Dreaming (x3)
He was busy dreaming.
