High on the hills with the lonely goatherd, lay-od-lay-od-lay-he-hoo
Yodell back with the girl and goatherd, lay-od-lay-od-low

Wind it up
Wind it up, uh, uh, uh, uh
Yodellay, yodallay, yodal-low

(Yeah)
This is the key that makes us wind up
When the beat comes on, the girls all line up
And the boys all look, but no, they can't touch
But the girls want to know why the boys like us so much

They like the we dance, they like the way we work
They like that way that L.A.M.B. is going across my shirt
They like the way my pants, it compliments my shape (She's crazy, right?)
They like the way we react everytime we dance

Everytime the bass bangs, realize it calls your name
Let the beat wind you up, and don't stop till your time is up
Get in line now

Wind it up, uh, uh, uh, uh
Wind it up, uh, uh, uh, uh
Yodellay, yodallay, yodal-low

You've got to let the beat get under your skin
You've got to open up, and let it all in
But see, once it gets in, the poppin' begins
And then you find out, why all the boys stare

They're trying to bite our style
Trying to study our approach
They like the way we do it, so original
I guess that they are slow, so they should leave the room
This beat is for the clubs, and cars that go

Everytime the bass bangs, realize it calls your name
Let the beat wind you up, and don't stop till your time is up
Get in line now

Uh, uh, uh, wind it up, uh, uh, uh, uh
(Ya'll ready)

Wind it up, uh, uh, uh, uh
Wind it up, uh, uh, uh, uh
Yodellay, yodallay, yodal-low

Uh huh, it's your moment
Uh huh, come on girl, you know you own it
Uh huh, you know your key is still tick-tockin'
Hell yeah, and you know they're watchin'

Get it girl, get it, get it girl
Get it girl, get it, get it girl
To the font, to the side,
To the back, but don't let him ride

Keep goin' girl, it's your night
Don't let him steal your light
I know he thinks you're fine and stuff
But does he know how to wind you up?
(Come on)

Wind it up, uh, uh, uh, uh
Wind it up, uh, uh, uh, uh
Yodellay, yodallay, yodal-low, hey!

. . .


(feat. Akon)

If I could escape I would but, first of all, let me say
I must apologize for acting stank and treating you this way
Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It’s your fault you didn’t shut the refrigerator
Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold?

If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own world
And I could be your favorite girl (forever) perfectly together
Tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet
I know I’ve been a real bad girl (I’ll try to change)
I didn’t mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever) we can make it better
Tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet? (sweet escape)

Akon:
I want to get away to our sweet escape
I want to get away, yeah

You held me down, I’m at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint
Come on let’s bounce, counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around, lets look for some common ground
So baby, times get a little crazy, I’ve been gettin’ a little lazy
Waitin’ on you to come save me
I can see that your angry by the way that you treat me
Hopefully you don’t leave me, wanted you with me

If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own world
And I could be your favorite girl (forever) perfectly together
And tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet (sorry boy)
I know I’ve been a real bad girl (I’ll try to change)
I didn’t mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever) we can make it better
And tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet? (sweet escape)

If I could escape
If I could escape
Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It’s your fault you didn’t shut the refrigerator
Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold

If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own world
And I could be your favorite girl (forever) perfectly together
And tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet? (the sweet escape)
If I could be sweet

I know I’ve been a real bad girl (I’ll try to change)
I didn’t mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever) we can make it better
And tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet? (the sweet escape)

Akon:
I want to get away to our sweet escape
I want to get away, yeah

Don't know what im doing back in the studio
Getting greedy cause he said he
had another sick flow
So I had to hollaback,
guess I didn't get enough
Still be the one to land
and I send my "tick-tock"
If you give me a clap,
im gonna give an encore
Don't want it to end,
I wanna skank some more
Im tripping on the best dream that I never had
I guess behind the orange curtain is not so bad

From the West Side of Anaheim,
a small world after all
Hanging out at the hotel,
selling makeup at the mall
Making out to "Purple Rain",
just like everybody else
Dame un beso, now stop,
im trying to save myself
In the ordinary calling girl way
Back in the 714 days
Trying to figure what I wanna be
Hanging in the garage, me and ND

Im just an Orange County girl
Living in an extraordinary world
Im just an Orange County girl
Living in an extraordinary world

Sing
La la la la la la la la la
And the girls sing
La la la la la la la la la
And the guys sing
La la la la la la la la la
And the girls sing
La la la la la la la la la

Alot of things have changed
but im mostly the same
These are a few of my favorite things
Still rollin' cause the "Sound Of Music"
Im nothing better than a great big huge hit
You know I'd pay you just to let me run,
dance, and sing
I know im living the "E" ticket dream
For a girl from O.C., it's almost unheard of
So I wanna thank you all so much for the love
(especially my girlfriends)

Pharrell on repeat,
make a hurricane in Miami
Working with him,
im gonna get myself another Grammy
I got the L.A.M.B.,
and he's rocking the Ice Creams
Blend it together,
something fresh and kinda inbetween
Remember music is something that I love
And I don't really give a fuck
The music don't come in no color
And the time has come to hit you
with the chorus

Im just an Orange County girl
Living in an extraordinary world
Im just an Orange County girl
Living in an extraordinary world

Sing
La la la la la la la la la
And the girls sing
La la la la la la la la la
And the guys sing
La la la la la la la la la
And the girls sing
La la la la la la la la la

And the dream goes...
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
And the dream goes...

Im just an Orange County girl
Living in an extraordinary world
Im just an Orange County girl
Living in an extraordinary world

(featuring Tim Rice-Oxley)

You, you know how to get me solo
My heart had a crash when we spoke
I can't fix what you broke
And you, you always have a reason
Again and again this feelin
Why do I give in

And I always was, always was one for cryin
I always was one for tears

[Chorus]
The sun's getting cold, it's snowin
Looks like an early winter for us
Looks like an early winter for us
An early winter, oh why did you deter me over

You said the map of the world is on you
The moon gravitates around you
The seasons escape you

And I always was, always was one for cryin
I always was one for tears
No I never was, never was one for lyin
You lied to me all these years

[Chorus]

Why, why do you act so stupid
Why, you know I'm always right

Looks like an early winter for us
It hurts and I can't remember sunlight
An early winter for us
The leaves are changing colors
Starting over and over and over again
Starting over and over and over again
Well it looks like an early winter for us
It looks like an early winter for us

. . .



Now with the following collection
Of the swizzy sounds
(Woo!)

Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it
(Repeat)

Now that I'm your baby
The things you promised me
Now I want

Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it

(You told me)
All the stars I was reaching for
You had in the palm of your hand
And if for just once
I would let the padlock on the door be open
Well let me just get on over here
This better be the best thing I ever felt
My daisy better be sunny
Better be nothing but all that I want

[Chorus]
Now that I'm your baby
The things you promised me
Now I want
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
If I'm really your baby then share with me
Your secrets in dark
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it

I'm a radice queen of them all
I can have anyone, so what I want
Perfect, get it right, never wrong
So you gonna step it up or you gon' be gone

Not this, nothing is typical
No test, it's all about a B if you show

[Chorus]

Train em like a marine
Make em like a superhero
Always better be his response
Let's not play games
We can be closer than sharing last names
The award is pepper hot
It could be yours
If you earn that medal
You could be my boy

Uh, uh, uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh, uh, uh uh uh
Uh, uh, uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh, uh, uh uh uh

If I'm really your baby then share with me
Your secrets in dark
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it
If I'm really your baby then share with me
Your secrets in dark
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
Now that you got it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it
What you gon' do about it

Wakin up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had it's say
I guess I feel alright

But it hurts when I think,
When I let it sink in
It's all over me
I know you're here, in the dark
I'm watchin you sleep, it hurts a lot

[Bridge]
And all I know is you've got to give me everything
And nothing as good,
You know I'd give you all of me

[Chorus]
I'd give you everything that I am
I'm handin over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning
And the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we're gonna do it come and do it right

All I wanted was to know i`m safe
Don't wanna lose the love I found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don't let me down

It's not fair, how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Oh please, you know what I need
Save all your lovin for me
We can't escape the love
With everything that you have

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

(featuring Pharrell)

I'm feeling yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience so let's go
You see me
Look I'm diet drama
Wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me

Walk in the place
They know my face
Encore sophomore
Only one solo I swore
Big mouth applause
Oh please one more
Wanna hear it before I saw nah
Let me check my itinerary
Mmmm alright
Presto skin tight
Escaped and I risked my life
For what so I can watch them bite
Only one Gwen you can find like this
I mean blow your mind like this
Your key won't shine like this
If its yours then you know
It won't wind like this
(Wind it up)

I'm feeling yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience so let's go
You see me
Look I'm diet drama
Wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me

I know you've been waiting
But I've been off making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
Its time to make you sweat
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
Its time to make you sweat

Walk in the place
They know my face
Billionaire boys
Ice cream dripping cross the floor
Big house garage
Bentleys Farrar
Wanna go before I say nah
Let me check my itinerary
Mmm alright
G-four G-flight
Bed in the back so I have a G night
Good night hood right
Ain't no nigga you can find like this
I mean blow your mind like this
Nigga watch don't shine like this
If it's ticking then it don't tell time like this

I'm feeling yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience so let's go
You see me
Look I'm diet drama
Wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me

I know you've been waiting
But I've been off making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
Its time to make you sweat
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
Its time to make you sweat

Now sweat baby
Gets too big jump up go crazy
LAMB in 3D
Walked right across your TV
P you crazy
How'd you get this
This sounds like disco tetris
Do I have time to connect this
Let me check my itinerary
Mmm
I came back for my spotlight
(For her spotlight)
I disappeared like Houdini
(Where's Houdini)
If this didn't come out right
(If it's not right)
Go to Kinko's and Xerox me

I'm feeling yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience so let's go
You see me
Look I'm diet drama
Wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me

I'm feeling yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience so let's go
You see me
Look I'm diet drama
Wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me

I know you've been waiting
But I've been off making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
Its time to make you sweat
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
Its time to make you sweat

(featuring Angelo Moore)

I'm not sayin nothin you don't already know
You know you're too delicious
More than I can handle
Lyin around late at night
So luscious that I ache
Baby why'd you fall asleep
I'm still awake

[Chorus]
I'm in love (uh, uh)
In love with a dream
My valentines kinda broke my wings
I see in time, I seem to be weak
You better be right, cause you promised me

I must have lost my mind
I can't believe you're still inside my bed
I nearly walked away
I didn't think we'd still be rollin

Dressin up in your love is a dangerous thing
My sexy, super love has got a real bad sting
Baby I don't want no trouble
This is more than I can afford
I can't help myself keep coming back for more
For more, can't help coming back for more
[Chorus]

I must have lost my mind
I can't believe you're still inside my bed
I nearly walked away
I didn't think we'd still be rollin
And as I watch you sleepin, lookin bright
I close my eyes and pray
Another caressing night
Yeah, you and I

Late night lovers
Kickin in the covers
Don't need no one but you and I
Cause every day's a weekend
Forget what we were thinking
Our lovers we caress at night

I must have lost my mind
I can't believe you're still inside my bed
I nearly walked away
I didn't think we'd still be rollin
And as I watch you sleepin, lookin bright
I close my eyes and pray
Another caressing night
Yeah, you and I

. . .



How sick is this
How sick is this

You know, you know you wanna call me back
You know, you know you wanna call me back
You know, you know you wanna call me back

[Bridge]
Hold up I think you're cutting out
Hold up I think you're cutting out
Hold up I think I'm losing you
Hold up I think I'm losing you
Tell me can you hear me now
Tell me can you hear me now
Tell me can you hear me now
Tell me can you hear me now

[Chorus]
We're breakin up
Oh, oh, oh
We're breakin up
Oh, oh, oh
We're breakin up
Oh, oh, oh
We're breakin up
Oh, oh, oh

Gonna get ya on the phone
And our connection's all wrong
You're acting like I'm slower than you are
And my batteries get low

Get me charged up or you will regret it
I need to call you back so I can hear you better
Bout to end the conversation altogether
Yeah

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Come on, give a little love
Why aren't you calling me back
K, now I'm gonna call you at home
And leave another sorry message

Why's it have to get so complicated
Acting so cold, refridgerated
Got your voice mail on, I'm so frustrated
Yeah

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

I hate it when the signal drop on my cell phone
Just tryin to talk before my battery all gone
I'm not in the mood for your stupid ringtones
I want my battery charged and I want you in my zone

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

. . .



Don't get it twisted
Don't get clever
This is the most craziest shit ever

(This is the most craziest shit ever)

Ok, this is the most craziest shit ever
Top of the charts, I wish it did feel better
So I take it to the scene
Before I knew what to do, what do do
(what's that)
Kinda moody and I'm trippin
And my head is a block
Collecting all of the symptoms
I'm about to call the doc
Get a hold of yourself
You're acting odd girl
What's goin on and on and on

[Bridge]X2
What's the matter with me
I'm acting really odd
And I think I can't breathe
There must be something wrong
What's goin on and on and on and on and on
Uh oh, uh oh

[Chorus]
Don't get it twisted
Don't get clever
This is the most craziest shit ever
Uh oh, whoa
Don't get it twisted
Don't get clever
This is the most craziest shit ever
Here we go, whoa

Tick tock I guess I'm rid again
What are you suggesting madam Gwen
Don't you know better
What are you talking about
You know it's gonna come at any point
Nighttime, flip-flop
This time, push my luck
He was really lookin hot
Anticipation building up

Space simulator
Internal complicator
Need a translator
(can you go and get a test)

[Chorus]

Move it, move, move it
Move it, move, move it

Lip lock
Making out again, no big deal
You always say that
But I'm not a mathematician
28 days, a normal cycle
If I'm not mistaken
I think he might have made a goal
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Here we go, whoa

. . .



It's all your fault
But I'm gonna try

I'm feelin as bad about me as you are
You know I don't wanna be here
I'm tryin to work out where these feelings are from
I don't know why I'm doin this either

[Chorus]
I know, you're right, you win
I don't want any part of it
But you know what I'm like
I give in even though you started it

(whoa, hey)

The last time I checked, had it under control
But now everything is unclear
Oh help me correct it, I know that I'm wrong
I don't know why I'm doin this either

[Chorus]

Oh well baby, you were right
Oh no no no hush hush, you were right
Forget about it baby, you were right
Yeah we argue sometimes but please not tonight

(Hey, you gonna be ok)
(Don't worry about it)
(Sing)

[Chorus]X2

Yeah we argue sometimes but not tonight

. . .


(featuring Martin Gore)

I haven't thought of you
For years you know
Your memory seems to come and go
Our time meant so much to me
Now you can't be found

You were the first to want me
The first to love me
The first to need me
Who was the last to know you
The last to love you
The last to hold you

It's a wonderful, wonderful life
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Such a wonderful, wonderful life

I thought of you again today
Reminding me how our time have changed
If you only knew what you gave to me
Now you can't be found

And you were the first I trusted
I learned what love is
When we were just kids
When did you kiss the last time
How could you think you'd be better off

It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Why'd you have to say goodbye
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Such a wonderful, wonderful life

Thank you for those special moments
You will always be here, in my mind
And did you know you changed my life
I'm thankful for that time
I'm thankful for that time
I'm thankful for that time

It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Why'd you have to say goodbye
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
I'm asking why but I'll never know
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Why'd you have to say goodbye
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Such a wonderful, wonderful life
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Such a wonderful, wonderful life
