Layaway

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
04:26

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

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 (Don't Let Me Go)
04:08
|

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

Our Love Won't End
03:51
|

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
