Layaway 04:58
You put my love on layaway You said you’d come back for me again someday You put my love on layaway You said you needed to take a little break So I waited long, seasons went on I waited faithfully You put my love on layaway But you forgot to come back for me It was business as usual When you came through the door that day There was no special promotion Or no sale in the store that day It was just me in the window A mannequin who caught your gaze Just me in the window Wasn’t enough to make you stay You came and tried me on for size Wore me around the store awhile I thought it was a real love So I just trusted when You put my love on layaway You said you’d come back for me again someday You put my love on layaway You said you needed to take a little break So I waited long, seasons went on I waited faithfully You put my love on layaway But you forgot to come back for me I waited long, seasons went on Love on layaway, waiting for you to come It was business as usual For every other girl but me I was caught in confusion as I waited for you hopefully Oh I ju-ust sat on the sideline Afraid to get back in the game Ju-ust sat on the sideline My naïve mind took all the blame I set myself upon the shelf I put my heart on hold for you No guarantee, but foolishly I still believed you when You put my love on layaway You said you’d come back for me again someday You put my love on layaway You said you needed to take a little break So I waited long, seasons went on I waited faithfully You put my love on layaway But you forgot to come back for me I waited long, seasons went on I set myself upon the shelf I put my heart on hold for you No guarantee, but foolishly I still believed you when You put my love on layaway You said you’d come back for me again someday You put my love on layaway You said you needed to take a little break So I waited long, seasons went on I waited faithfully You put my love on layaway But you forgot to come back for me

Let me in a little bit Give me a chance Let me in a little bit I just need a good man (x2) Oh I heard that you are someone I need to know And I wonder why you keep keeping me in the cold Just give me a minute with you to chase away your doubts Then you’ll see that I’m somebody you don’t want to live without Oh won’t you please Let me in a little bit Give me a chance Let me in a little bit I just need a good man (x2) Oh it’s been a while since I felt like a schoolgirl again Butterflies inside, oh boy how you make me spin Boy you see I’m no good at the da-ating game No subtlety, ‘cause I don’t often meet a man and want to take his name So won't you please Let me in a little bit Give me a chance Let me in a little bit I just need a good man (x2) Oh I heard that you are someone I need to know And I wonder why you keep keeping me in the cold Just give me a minute with you to chase away your doubts Then you’ll see that I’m somebody you don’t want to live without Oh won’t you please

Real Thing 03:14
You walk like you got it Smooth, you can talk it You’re fly like a rocket But that don’t mean you can deploy Show me what you’re made of, boy You got your face on a street bench Money like you thievin’ That don’t mean you decent I don’t love you for your toys You’ve got to show me what you’re made of, boy The thing about me, guys, is I don’t like surprises Won’t win me with disguises I won’t go for no decoy You’ve got to show me what you’re made of, boy And yeah you move like you somethin’ Never stop at nothin’ Want me to get caught in love Twist my heart like a coil First show me what you’re made of, boy Oh you got a big, big sound, big, big sound Think you can hold it down, hold it down But I go for the real thing So show me who you are, baby Oh you actin’ so, so tall, so, so tall Think you can make me fall, make me fall But I go for the real thing I wanna see your heart, baby Baby, you piquin’ my interest We could go the distance I’m tellin’ all my girlfriends That you’re the other face to my coin I wanna show you what I’m made of, boy Just gotta roll with the punches Man, I got a hunch this Love could be the one That’s why I’ve been a little coy Now let me show you what I’m made of, boy You heard the ref call “Game on!” Let’s get the flame on Put up a trey ball Shoot it till we get those points I wanna show you what I’m made of boy Oh is he in, is he out? Show me what you’re all about Down, down watch the façade go Bear your soul, walls fallin’ low Let your heart show Love me like a window Oh you got a big, big sound, big, big sound Think you can hold it down, hold it down But I go for the real thing So show me who you are, baby Oh you actin’ so, so tall, so, so tall Think you can make me fall, make me fall But I go for the real thing I wanna see your heart, baby Show me who you are, baby Show me who you are, baby

Time, I had it good with time It once was a friend of mine Now it’s become a foe Oh, oh I know that change is inevitable But can’t it go a little slower I’d like the clock to start ticking backwards For a change, let’s rearrange, yeah, you and I Tie up the hands that race through Time my foe, it stooped so low Came and took my love away When you quit callin’ I felt the rain start fallin’ Why did I let myself jump all in? I’m callin’ love come back to me Don’t let me go now, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, now Don’t let me go now, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, now ‘Cause when you go my world turns upside-down Don’t let me go, babe, now, babe, stay around (x2) Babe stay around, stay around, stay around Gravity it used to be good to me It always kept me up on my feet But the law is no longer on my side The tears I cry fall like cannons from the sky They shake the ground around me My heart feels the tremor of a love gone away When you quit callin’ I felt the rain start fallin’ Why did I let myself jump all in? I’m callin’ love come back to me Don’t let me go now, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, now Don’t let me go now, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, now ‘Cause when you go my world turns upside-down Don’t let me go, babe, now, babe, stay around (x2) Won't you stay now, baby? Stay with me now, baby Won't you stay now, babe? Pull me this way, push me that way Turn me over like a hurricane Pull me this way, push me that way oh Pull me this way and that way and this way And that way and this way Pull me this way and that way and this way And that way and this way The tears I cry fall like cannons from the sky They shake the ground around me My heart feels the tremor of a love gone away Don’t let me go now, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, now Don’t let me go now, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, now ‘Cause when you go my world turns upside-down Don’t let me go, babe, now, babe, stay around Don't let me go now, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, now Don't let me go now, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, now 'Cause when you go my world turns upside-down 'Cause when you go my world turns upside-down

It’s how you love to look into your eyes You make me feel like I belong It’s how you took the time to memorize The words to my favourite song Sit and listen to the radio Tickle my foot with your toes You sing along, you say to me “Am I yours forever?” Shrug my shoulders, say “I suppose” And although trouble finds us Time and time again Our love won’t end Because it’s those little joys in Life that we embrace And our love remains No it doesn’t change Yes our love remains I laugh at all your silly punch lines You laugh at all my dirty looks The foolish things we gather As the days go by I guess our love’s one for the books Stay up all night and watch the sunrise Catch your fingers in my curls Celebrate those timeless times It’s how we face an ever-changing world And although trouble finds us Time and time again Our love won’t end Because it’s those little joys in Life that we embrace And our love remains No it doesn’t change Yes our love remains
