Les paroles


1. 1999

Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun

I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was Judgment Day
The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction, U know I didn't even care

Cuz they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999!

I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so sue me if I go 2 fast
But life is just a party and parties weren't meant 2 last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die, I'm gonna listen 2 my body 2night

Yeah, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (Yeah, yeah)

People, let me tell U somethin'
If U didn't come 2 party, don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket and, baby, he's ready 2 roar (Yeah)
Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day (Oh)
But before I let that happen, I'll dance my life away

Oh, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
(We're runnin' out of time)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we gonna, oh!)

Say it one more time
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (No, no)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We're gonna, we gonna)

Alright, 1999
U say it, 1999
1999 (1999)

Don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (Yeah, yeah)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we're gonna)

Yeah, 1999 (1999)
Don't U wanna go? (1999)
Don't U wanna go? (1999)
We could all die any day (1999)
I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away (1999)
Listen 2 what I'm tryin' 2 say
Everybody, everybody say party!
Come on now, U say it (Party!)
That's right, everybody say
(Party!)
Can't run from Revelation, no!
Sing it 4 your nation, y'all!
Dreamin' when U're singin', baby!
Say the telephone a-ringin', mama, now!
Come on, come on, U say
Everybody, 2 times
Work it down 2 the ground, I'm sayin'
(Oh baby, say it again)
(Oh, shake your body, baby!)
That's right, come on, sing the song
That's right, everybody say
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say!
Ah, and he's ready 2 roar!
Yeah!

Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?


2. LITTLE RED CORVETTE

I guess I should've known by the way U parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See, U're the kinda person that believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb cuz U had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And U say - "What have I got 2 lose?"

And honey, I say Little Red Corvette
Baby, U're much 2 fast (Oh)
Little Red Corvette
U need a love that's gonna last

I guess I should've closed my eyes when U drove me 2 the place
Where your horses run free
Cuz I felt a little ill when I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not, I started 2 worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And U say - "Baby, have U got enough gas?"
Oh yeah!

Little Red Corvette
Baby, U're much 2 fast (Yes U are)
Little Red Corvette
U need 2 find a love that's gonna last (Oh, oh)

A body like yours oughta be in jail
Cuz it's on the verge of bein' obscene
Move over, baby, gimme the keys
I'm gonna try 2 tame your little red love machine

Little Red Corvette
Baby, U're much 2 fast
Little Red Corvette
Need 2 find a love that's gonna last, hey hey

Little Red Corvette
Honey, U got 2 slow down (Got 2 slow down)
Little Red Corvette
Cuz if U don't, U're gonna run your little red corvette right in the ground
(Little Red Corvette)
Right down 2 the ground (Honey, U got 2 slow down)
U, U, U got 2 slow down
(Little Red Corvette)
U're movin' much 2 fast, 2 fast
Need 2 find a love that's gonna last!

Girl, U got an ass like I never seen, ow!
And the ride...
I say the ride is so smooth, U must be a limousine

Ow!
Baby, U're much 2 fast
Little Red Corvette
U need a love, U need a love that's, uh, that's gonna last
(Little Red Corvette)
Babe, U got 2 slow down (U got 2 slow down)
Little Red Corvette
Cuz if U don't, cuz if U don't
U're gonna run your body right into the ground (Right into the ground)
Right into the ground (Right into the ground)
Right into the ground (Right into the ground)

Little Red Corvette, oh


3. DELIRIOUS

I get delirious whenever U're near
Lose all self-control, baby, just can't steer
Wheels get locked in place
Get a stupid look on my face
When it comes 2 makin' a pass, pretty mama
I just can't win a race

Cuz I get delirious
Delirious
Delirious

I get delirious when U hold my hand
Body gets so weak I can hardly stand
My temperature's runnin' hot
Baby, U got 2 stop
Cuz if U don't I'm gonna explode
And girl I've got a lot

I get delirious, yeah
Delirious
Delirious

I get delirious whenever U're near
Girl, U gotta take control cuz I just can't steer
U're just 2 much 2 take
I can't stop, I ain't got no brakes
Girl, U gotta take me 4 a little ride up and down
In and out around your lake

I'm delirious
U, U, U get me delirious
Baby, lay me down
Delirious
The room, the room, the room is spinnin' around, oh yeah

4 no man deserves your love
I only pray that when U dream

Not with our lips, but with our souls
Stop me if I bore U
Why is it that I think we'd be so good in bed?

Can U hear me?
I wonder if U have any mercy, don't torture me

7. SOMETHING IN THE WATER (DOES NOT COMPUTE)

Some people tell me I got great legs
Can't figure out why U make me beg
Does not compute
Don't not compute

U think U're special, well so do I
Why do special women make me cry?
Does not compute
It 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
Does not compute
Somethin', mama, don't compute

What's the hang up, what's the scam?
Guess U think I'm just another one of, one of your fans
Does not compute
Somethin', honey, don't 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?
Does not compute, mama
Somethin' don't compute

I'll buy U clothing, I'll buy U fancy cars
But U gotta talk 2 me, baby
Tell me who U really are

Or else I wouldn't go through all the things I do


8. FREE

Don't sleep until the sunrise, listen 2 the falling rain
Don't worry 'bout 2morrow, don't worry 'bout your pain
Don't cry unless U're happy, don't smile unless U're blue
Never let that lonely monster take control of U

Be glad that U are free
Free 2 change your mind
Free 2 go most anywhere, anytime
Be glad that U are free
There's many a man who's not
Be glad 4 what U had, baby, what U've got
Be glad 4 what U've got

I know your heart is beating, my drummer tells me so
If U take your life 4 granted, your beating heart will go
So don't sleep until U're guilty, cuz sinners all are we
There's others doin' far worse than us, so be glad that U are free

Be glad that U are free
Free 2 change your mind
Free 2 go most anywhere, anytime

Oh, I'm so glad, I'm so glad I'm free, yeah
Free 2 change my mind
Free 2 go most anywhere, anytime
Yeah!

9. LADY CAB DRIVER

Taxi! Taxi!

Lady cab driver, can U take me 4 a ride?
Don't know where I'm goin'
Cuz I don't know where I've been
So put your foot on the gas, let's drive

Lady, don't ask questions
I promise I'll tell U no lies
Trouble winds are blowin', I'm growin' cold
Get me outta here, I feel I'm gonna die

Lady cab driver
Roll up your window fast
Lately trouble winds are blowin' hard
And I don't know if I can last

Lady, I'm so lonely
I know that's not the way 2 be
Don't want isolation, but the air, it makes me cold
Drive it, baby, drive it, drive this demon out of me

Take me 2 your mansion
Honey, let's go everywhere
Help me girl, I'm drownin', mass confusion in my head
Will U accept my tears 2 pay the fare?

Lady cab driver
Roll up your window fast
Lately trouble winds are blowin' hard
And I don't know if I can last

Oh!

Lady cab driver, can U take me 4 a ride? (Hey, that's my taxi)

Lady cab driver
Roll up your window fast
Lately trouble winds are blowin' hard
And I don't know if I can last

This is 4 the cab U have 2 drive 4 no money at all
This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall
This is 4 politicians who are bored and believe in war
And this... mmm, yeah, that's 4 me, that's who that one's 4
This is 4 discrimination and egotists who think supreme
And this is 4 whoever taught U how 2 kiss in designer jeans
Uhh! That one's 4, that one's 4 where U have 2 live
This one's 4 the rich - not all of 'em, just the greedy
The ones that don't know how 2 give
This one's 4 Yosemite Sam and the tourists at Disneyland
This one... ooh, yeah, that's the one
That's 4, that's 4 the creator of man
This is 4 the sun, moon, stars, tourists at Disneyland
This is 4 the ocean, the sea, the shore
This is 4... and that's 4 U, that's who that one's 4
This is 4 the women so beautifully complex
This one's 4 love without sex
This is 4 the wind that blows no matter how fast or slow
Not knowing where I'm going is galaxies better
Than not having a place 2 go
Now I know (Now I know)

Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver

(Hey, that's my taxi)
