Lyrics


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. HOW COME U DON'T CALL ME ANYMORE?

I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember everything U said
I always thought our love was so right, I guess I was wrong
I always thought U'd be by my side mama, now U're gone

What I wanna know, baby
If what we had was good
How come U don't call me anymore, yeah?
Oh anymore

(Listen...)
I still light the fire on a rainy night
I still like it better when U're holding me tight
(OK, now umm...)
Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part, ooh yeah
(I always said that we were kinda cute 2gether myself)
Tell me baby, baby, baby, why, why'd U wanna go and break my heart?
(Why'd U wanna do it, baby?)

All I wanna know, baby
If what we had was good
How come U don't call me anymore, yeah?
Why don't U call me girl?
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If U don't call me mama, girl U gotta try
Down on my knees, beggin' U please, please! ... oh yeah

Why can't U call me sometime, baby?
It's just one lousy dime, baby
Why can't U call me sometime?
Oh, no no
Why on Earth can't U just pick up the phone, yeah?
U know I don't like 2 be alone {fade out}
Why, why must U torture me baby?
Why U gotta treat me so bad?
