Hide me there Under the leaves Nine going on eighteen Lay it on me Tell me a story About how it ends Where you're still the good guy I'll make pretend 'Cause I hate this story Where happiness ends and dies with you I thought good guys get to be happy I'm not happy I am poison in the water and unhappy A little girl who needs her daddy real bad In the corner on my birthday You watched me Dancing right there in the grass I was too young to notice That some types of love could be bad Praying I'd be like you Doing all of the things that you do And I still do And that scares me I'm tired of you, still tied to me (bleeding whenever you want) Too tired to move, too tired to leave I'm tired of you, still tied to me (it's just the way that you are) I'm tired of you, too tired to leave (I just wanna sleep) I'm tired of you, still tied to me (I just wanna sleep) Too tired to move, too tired to leave (I just wanna sleep) I'm tired of you, still tied to me (please, can I sleep, can I sleep?) I'm tired of you, too tired to leave I'm tired of you, still tied to me Too tired to move, too tired to leave Source: LyricFind
don't want anyone else to know What we do whenever we're alone Make me V.I.P. behind the sofa All my friends take medicine without a cold Purple stuff turns everyone to gold Hate the taste, we mix it with Coca-Cola [Pre-Chorus] When did pattycake turn to bloody knuckles? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Chorus] We could stay up, watch adult cartoons Baby, will you be here soon? Blowing up the big balloons So big that they all go pop (They all go pop, they all go pop) Turn off the lights, let's kiss in the corner Promise to play house with me forever Reach for my finger, put on a new Ring Pop (A new Ring Pop, a new Ring Pop) Put on a new Ring Pop [Verse 2] You only call me when it's getting late I-I-I saved you a piece of cake And a bottle on ice with spoiled milk Luna's on the roof and she's so sad Pacifiers in her goodie bag Once you jump there's no coming back [Chorus] We could stay up, watch adult cartoons Baby, will you be here soon? Blowing up the big balloons So big that they all go pop (They all go pop, they all go pop) Turn off the lights, let's kiss in the corner Promise to play house with me forever Reach for my finger, put on a new Ring Pop (A new Ring Pop, a new Ring Pop) A new Ring Pop Put on a new Ring Pop Put on a new Ring Pop Put on a new Ring Pop [Bridge] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh When did pattycake turn to bloody knuckles? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Chorus] We could stay up, watch adult cartoons Baby, will you be here soon? Blowing up the big balloons So big that they all go pop (They all go pop, they all go pop) Turn off the lights, let's kiss in the corner Promise to play house with me forever Reach for my finger, put on a new Ring Pop (A new Ring Pop, a new Ring Pop) Put on a new Ring Pop Put on a new Ring Pop (A new Ring Pop) Put on a new Ring Pop Put on a new Ring Pop A new Ring Pop
In the palace of Versailles, before the fall We were wild, we were so debauched Extravagance was practically a law If we ever got bored, we said "Let's throw a ball" And you'd chase me naked through the palace garden Before we dove into a sparkling champagne fountain Eating cake with a little golden butter They never even knew that I got here from the gutter 'Cause I dance like an aristocrat Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that Show me that you understand Come on and do it like only a poor kid can Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat In the middle of the night The ladies of the court Would catfight tryna be the king's consort I'm sorry B, he's hot for me La Comtesse du Poverty Me and Marie dressed head to toe in diamonds With an orchestra to drown out all the violence And the gossip cut like a handcrafted stiletto But they never figured out that I got here from the ghetto 'Cause I dance like an aristocrat Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that Show me that you understand Come on and do it like only a poor kid can Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat Out of the fire Out of the fire Courante, Bourrée, Allemande if you want Courante, Bourrée, Allemande if you want Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat
Close… there is a diphthong in Billie’s original. It sounds off but if you listen to the original this is close to how she sang it… because it moves from being the melody to being the chorus for a moment (the chorus becomes the melody.)… with out the melody part to harmonize it doesn’t sound quite right… it shows the singers control by maintaining the notes without automatically adjusting to wrong note to “sound pleasing”
It's insane to me how a person can just write and produce something like this and bring the instrumentals and vocals all together and make it sound so darn good. Thank you for sharing this! 🥹
Grew up under yellow light on the street Putting too much faith in the make-believe And another high school football team The neighbor's brother came home in a box But he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault Another red heart taken by the American dream And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out and I'm all alone again Say what you want, but say it like you mean it With your fists for once, a long cold war With your kids at the front Just give it one more day, then you're done Done I do what I want, crying in the bleachers And I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone, it's just not my year But I'm all good out here Sunday morning Hands over my knees in a room full of faces I'm sorry if I sound off, but I was probably wasted And didn't feel so good Head full of whiskey but I always deliver Jesus, if you're listening let me handle my liquor And Jesus, if you're there, why do I feel alone in this room with you? And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out But I'm still standing here Say what you want, but say it like you mean it With your fists for once, a long cold war With your kids at the front Just give it one more day, then you're done Done I do what I want, crying in the bleachers And I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Say what you want, but say it like you mean it With your fist for once A long cold war With your kids at the front Just give it one more day, then you're done I do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale I'm doing what I want and damn, I'm doing it well For me, for me For me, for me
Labored breaths and bed sores, sing it to me all day long When the aching sound of silence used to be our favorite song You and me against the world, you were my man and I your girl We had nothing except each other, you were my whole world Then the day came and you were up and gone And I still call home that house in Nebraska Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor Where the world was empty, save you and I Where you came and I laughed, and you left and I cried Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours These dirt roads are empty, the ones we paved ourselves Your mama calls me sometimes to see if I'm doing well And I'd lie to her and say that I'm doing fine When, really, I'd kill myself to hold you one more time And it hurts to miss you, but it's worse to know That I'm the reason you won't come home But I still call home that house in Nebraska Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor (Where I needed you, and I need you still) Where the world was empty, save you and I Where you came and I laughed, and you left and I cried Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours (So I died there under you every night, all night) You know, I still wait at the edge of town Praying straight to God that maybe you'll come back around I cry every day and the bottles make it worse 'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're alright And I feel so alone, and I feel so alone out here I feel so alone, I feel so alone out here And I feel so alone without you, I'm so alone out here I feel so alone, I feel so alone I'm so alone out here without you, baby
In your basement, I grow cold Thinking back to what I was always told Don't talk to strangers or you might fall in love Freezer bride, your sweet divine You devour like smoked bovine hide How funny, I never considered myself tough You're so handsome, walking over to me now I tried to be good Am I no good? Am I no good? Am I no good? With my memory restricted to a polaroid in evidence I just wanted to be yours Can I be yours Can I be yours Just tell me I'm yours If I'm turning in your stomach Am I making you feel sick? When my mother sees me on the side Of a milk carton in Winn-Dixie's dairy aisle She'll cry And wait up for me We'll make love in your attic all night Euphoric in some strange delight I'm happier here 'cause he told me I should be You're so handsome when I'm all over your mouth (When I'm all over your mouth When I'm all over your mouth) I tried to be good Am I no good? Am I no good? Am I no good? With my memory restricted to a polaroid in evidence I just wanted to be yours Can I be yours Can I be yours Just tell me I'm yours If I'm turning in your stomach Am I making you feel sick? (Am I making you feel sick?) Am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel Am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel Am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel sick? Found you just to tell you that I made it real far And that I never blamed you for loving me the way you did While you were torn apart I would do it with you there Don't think about it too hard You'll never sleep a wink at night again Don't worry 'bout me and these green eyes Mama, just know that I love you And I'll see you when you get here
