Lyrics

1. GIRLFRIEND

[Chorus]
Hey Hey You You I don't like your girlfriend
No way No way I think you need a new one
Hey Hey You You I could be your girlfriend
Hey Hey You You I know that you like me
No way No way No it's not a secret
Hey Hey You You I want to be your girlfriend

You're so fine - I want you mine - You're so delicious
I think about you all the time - You're so addictive
Don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright?
Don't pretend - I think you know I'm damn precious
And hell yeah I'm the motherfucking princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right

[Pre-Chorus]
She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about

[Chorus]
I can see the way - I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away - I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again

So come over here and tell me what I want to hear
Better yet - Make the girlfriend disappear
I don't want to hear you say her name ever again

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[x2]
In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can - Cause I can do it better
There's no other so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid - What the hell were you thinking?

[Chorus](x2)

No way No way Hey Hey


2. I CAN DO BETTER

I couldn't give a damn what you said to me
I don't really care what you think of me
Cause either way you're going to think what you believe
There's nothing you could say that would hurt me
I'm better off without you anyway
I thought it would be hard but I'm ok
I don't need you if you're going to be that way
Cause with me it's all or nothing

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sick of this shit - Don't deny
You're a waste of time
I'm sick of this shit - Don't ask why

[Chorus]
I hate you now - So go away from me
You're gone - So long
I can do better - I can do better
Hey Hey you - I found myself again
That's why you're gone
I can do better - I can do better

You're so full of shit I can't stand
The way you act I just can't comprehend
I don't think that you can handle it
I'm way over, over it
I will drink as much Limoncello as I can
And I'll do it again and again and
I don't really care what you have to say
Cause you know, you know you're nothing

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Whad'ya say - I told you so
You know that cause I always know
Get out of my face - Hey Hey
You're not my taste - Hey Hey
I am so sick of you
You're on my nerves - I want to puke
Get out of my face - Hey Hey
You're not my taste - Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey Hey

[Chorus](x2)


3. RUNAWAY

Got up on the wrong side of life today Yeah
Crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late
My phone doesn't work ‘cause it's out of range
Looks like it's just one of those kind of days
You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground
No you can't ‘cause you couldn't catch me anyhow
Blue skies but the sun isn't coming out no
Today it's like I'm under a heavy cloud

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel so alive
I can't help myself
Don't you realize?

[Chorus]
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway Yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway Yeah

So So is how I'm doing if you're wondering
I'm in a fight with the world but I'm winning
Stay there come closer it's at your own risk
Yeah you know how it is life can be a bitch

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Runaway - Runaway

[Chorus](x2)


4. THE BEST DAMN THING

Let me hear you say hey hey hey
Alright
Now let me hear you say hey hey ho

I hate it when a guy doesn't get the door
Even though I told him yesterday and the day before
I hate it when a guy doesn't get the tab
And I have to pull my money out and that looks bad

Where are the hopes - Where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see

[Chorus]
That you're not not not gonna get any better
You won't won't won't you won't get rid of me never
Like it or not even though she's a lot like me
We're not the same
And yeah yeah yeah I'm a lot to handle
You don't know trouble but I'm a hell of a scandal
Me - I'm a scene - I'm a drama queen
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen

Alright Alright Yeah

I hate it when a guy doesn't understand
Why a certain time of month I don't want to hold his hand
I hate it when they go out and we stay in
And they come home smelling like their ex-girlfriend

But I found my hopes - I found my dreams
My Cinderella story scene
Now everybody's gonna see

[Chorus]

Give me an A - Always give me what I want
Give me a V - Be very very good to me
R - Are you gonna treat me right?
I - I can put up a fight
Give me an L - Let me hear you scream loud

One two three four

Where are the hopes - Where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see

[Chorus]

Let me hear you say hey hey hey
Alright
Now let me hear you say hey hey ho

I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen


5. WHEN YOU'RE GONE

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cried
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

[Pre-Chorus]
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

[Chorus]
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it ok
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left - They lie on the floor
And they smell just like you - I love the things that you do

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me

[Chorus]


6. EVERYTHING BACK BUT YOU

Today was the worst day I went through hell
I wish I could remove it from my mind
Two months away from you but I couldn't tell
I thought that everything was gonna be just fine

[Pre-Chorus]
The postcard that you wrote
With a stupid little note
Something wasn't quite right about it
It smelt like cheap perfume
And it didn't smell like you
There is no way you could get it around it
Because you wrote

[Chorus]
I wish you were her
You left out the e
You left without me
And now you're somewhere out there with a
Bitch slut psycho babe
I hate you - Why are guys so lame?
Everything I gave you
I want everything back but you

My friends tried to tell me all along
That you weren't the right one for me
My friends tried to tell me to be strong
I bet you didn't think that I would see

The postcard that you wrote
With a stupid little note
Something wasn't quite right about it
I wanna see you cry like I did a thousand times
Now you're losing me - You're losing me now
Because you wrote

[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

(x2)
I wish you were her
You left out the e
You left without me
Everything back but you


7. HOT

You're so good to me Baby Baby

I want to lock you up in my closet - Where no one's around
I want to put your hand in my pocket - Because you're allowed
I want to drive you into the corner - And kiss you without a sound
I want to stay this way forever - I'll say it loud
Now you're in - You can't get out

[Chorus]
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me Baby Baby
You're so good to me Baby Baby

I can make you feel all better - Just take it in
And I can show you all the places - You've never been
And I can make you say everything - That you never said
And I will let you do anything - Again and again
Now you're in - You can't get out

[Chorus]

Kiss me gently
Always I know
Hold me - Love me
Don't ever go

You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me

[Chorus]

You're so good


8. INNOCENCE

Waking up I see that everything is ok
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

[Chorus]
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by?

I found a place so safe - Not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm - I belong - I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

[Chorus]

(x2)
It's a state of bliss - You think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's so beautiful it makes you want to cry

This innocence is brilliant
It makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliant
Please don't go away
Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by?

[Chorus]


9. I DON'T HAVE TO TRY

I'm the one I'm the one who knows the dance
I'm the one I'm the one who's got the prance
I'm the one I'm the one who wears the pants
I wear the pants
I'm the one who tells you what to do
You're the one you're the one if I let you
I'm the one I'm the one who wears the pants
I wear the pants

Hey you follow me
I'll take the lead
Can't you see?
Don't you question me?
You just do what I say

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't care what you're saying
I don't care what you're thinking
I don't care about anything
Get ready motherfucker cause I'm happening
I don't care what you're saying
I don't care what you're thinking
I don't care about anything
Get ready motherfucker cause I'm on the scene

[Chorus]
I don't have to try
To make you realize
Anything I wanna do
Anything I'm gonna do
Anything I wanna do I do
And I don't have to try

Don't you disagree?
Cause you know
It's all about me
Be at my beck and call
I'm a know it all
And it's all your fault

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus](x2)


10. ONE OF THOSE GIRLS

I know your kind of girl
You only care about one thing
Who you've seen or where you've been
Who's got money
I see that look in your eyes
It tells a million lies
But deep inside I know why
You're talking to him
I know what you're all about
I really hope he figures it out

[Chorus]
She's one of those girls - Nothing but trouble
Just one look and now you're seeing double
Before you know it - She'll be gone
Off to the next one
She's so good that you won't see it coming
She'll take you for a ride and you'll be left with nothing
You'll be broken - She'll be gone
Off to the next one

Off to the next one

She's going to be the end of you
At least that's what they say
It's been a while - You're in denial
And now it's too late
The way she looks it makes you high
All the warning signs
'Cause her blond hair - Her blue eyes
It makes you want to die
I know what she's all about
I really hope you figure it out

[Chorus]

You know it's a game - You know it's a game
She's keeps playing around with your head
Playing around with your head
She's so insane - So insane
She's the one to blame
She's the one to blame

[Chorus]

Off to the next one
Off to the next one


11. CONTAGIOUS

When you're around I don't know what to do
I do not think that I can wait
To go over and to talk to you
I do not know what I should say
And I walk out in silence
That's when I start to realize
What you bring to my life
Damn this guy can make me cry

[Chorus]
It's so contagious
I cannot get it out of my mind
It's so outrageous
You make me feel so high all the time

They all say that you're no good for me
But I'm too close to turn around
I'll show them they don't know anything
I think I’ve got you figured out
So I walk out in silence
That's when I start to realize
What you bring to my life
Damn this guy can make me smile

It's so contagious
I cannot get it out of my mind
It's so outrageous
You make me feel so high

I'll give you everything
I'll treat you right
If you just give me a chance
I can prove I'm right

It's so contagious
I cannot get it out of my mind
It's so outrageous
You make me feel so high

[Chorus]


12. KEEP HOLDING ON

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side
You know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

[Chorus]
Keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through - We'll make it through
Just stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you - I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through - We'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late
This could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side
I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend

[Chorus]

Hear me when I say
When I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be
Will work out perfectly
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

[Chorus]

Keep holding on
Keep holding on
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through - We'll make it through

Oh come on now - Stop!

Maybe you should just listen
Maybe you should stop talking for a second
Shut up - Listen to me

14. I WILL BE

There's nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me
All the pain the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye
And now I know
How far you'd go

I know I let you down
But it's not like that now
This time I'll never let you go

[Chorus]
I will be all that you want
And get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life
I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see
Honestly
You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe
'Cause you're here with me

And if I let you down
I'll turn it all around
'Cause I will never let you go

[Chorus]

'Cause without you
I can't sleep
I'm not gonna ever - Ever let you leave
You're all I got
You're all I want
Yeah
And without you
I don't know what I'd do
I could never ever live a day without you
Here with me
Do you see?
You're all I need

[Chorus]

I will be all that you want
And get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
And all my life
You know I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay
