Joss Stone Album

I've got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong
I'm stepping out into the great unknown
I'm feeling wings though I've never flown
I've got a mind of my own
I'm flesh and blood to the bone
I'm not made of stone
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

I've got a right to be wrong
I've been held down too long
I've got to break free
So I can finally breathe
I've got a right to be wrong
Got to sing my own song
I might be singing out of key
But it sure feels good to me
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

You're entitled to your opinion
But it's really my decision
I can't turn back I'm on a mission
If you care don't you dare blur my vision
Let me be all that I can be
Don't smother me with negativity
Whatever's out there waiting for me
I'm going to faced it willingly

I've got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong
I'm stepping out into the great unknown
I'm feeling wings though I've never flown
I've got a mind of my own
Flesh and blood to the bone
See, I'm not made of stone
I've got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

I've got a right to be wrong
I've been held down to long
I've got to break free
So I can finally breathe
I've got a right to be wrong
Got to sing my own song
I might be singing out of key
But it sure feels good to me
I've got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

Little angels
Whisper softly
While my heart melts
For you and I'll see
Only sunshine
Only moonlight
For the first time its real

And the higher you take me
The more that you make me
Feel so hazy
Tell me what this means

I got jet lag and I never even left the ground
See it's like that every time you come around
Oh, I'm so hung over and I never even touched a drop
See I can't get enough
This must be love

How the time flies
When you're near me
Get those butterflies
Inside and I'll be
Where the stars shine
Where the birds fly
'Till the next time you're mine

And the higher you take me
The more that you make me
Feel so hazy
Tell me what this means

I got jet lag and I never even left the ground
See it's like that every time you come around
Oh, I'm so hung over and I never even touched a drop
See I can't get enough
This must be love

Whenever you're with me
It feels like gravity
Ain't got no hold on me
Tell me what does this mean
This must be love
Love

I got jet lag and I never even left the ground
And it's like that every time you come around
I'm so hung over and I never even touched one drop
See I got jet lag

Baby don't cha know
You really really got it goin' on
Baby don't cha know
You really really got it goin' on
Baby don't cha know
You really really got it goin' on
Baby don't you know
Baby don't you know

I got jet lag and I never even left the ground
See it's like that every time you come around
Oh, I'm so hung over and I never even touched a drop
I never even left the ground
I never no no
Jet lag, jet leg

You had me
You lost me
You're wasted
You cost me
I don't want you here messing with my mind

Spitting in my eyes and I still see
Tried to keep me down
I'm breaking free
I don't want no part in your next fix
Someone needs to tell you this is it

Hey listen you'll be missin'
Out on all my love and my kissing
Make your mistakes on your own time
When you come down you're just no good to have around
Instead of making money you took mine

Chorus
You had me
You lost me
You're wasted
You cost me
I don't want you here messing with my mind
I've realized in time
that my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life

You tried to trade on my naivete
But the things you do and say embarrass me
See once upon a time I was your fool
But the one I leave behind is you

Hey listen you'll be missin'
Out on all my love and my kissing
Make your mistakes on your own time
When you come down you're just no good to have around
Instead of making money you took mine

Chorus

Vodka and a packet of cigarettes
That's all it used to be but now
You're sniffing on snow when you're feeling low
Suffocating dreams that could have been
Maybe for a minute I was down with that
But it didn't take long for me to see the light
You swore you had control of it
But when I stepped back you slipped on your supply

Chorus

Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Ain't nobody got no business stressing all the time
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life

Chorus

Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Ain't nobody got no business stressing all the time
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life

I kinda thought that I'd be better off by myself
I've never been so wrong before
You made it impossible for me to ever
Love somebody else
And now I don't know what I left you for

See I thought that I could replace you
He can't love me the way you do
'Till now I never knew
Baby

Chorus:
I'm spoiled
By your love boy
No matter how I try to change my mind
What's the point it's just a waste of time
I'm spoiled by your touch boy
The love you give is just too hard to fight
Don't want to live without you in my life
I'm spoiled

I tried to tell myself that I'd be over you in a week or two
But baby that was 'bout a year ago
I've never seen the word love so personified as I do with you
And that is why I just can't let go, oh no

Chorus

Spoil me

And I would only be fooling myself if I tried to
Believe there's room for someone else in my heart
There ain't no way I'm getting over you
I don't know what I've been trying to prove
I'm hopeless, helpless when it comes to you

Chorus

I've been spoiled yeah yeah

I know you got the hummer for the summer baby
But I got your number baby
I got your number baby

I was trying to protect you from yourself
'Cause I respect you
And I feel like you just might
Be some one who I could get into
But I never seem to catch your eye
And it's been buggin' me why I even try
Still you're someone I'd like to get to know
Is there room for me in your one-man show

Chorus:
A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby
Don't cha wanna ride baby
A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby
Don't cha wanna ride baby
Time is slipping by, by, by
Slipping by

I was trying to connect with you
But you acted scared when I'm checkin you
And all my girls say you're hard to please
But I think that I got just what you need
Get your face out of the mirror
Then maybe you could consider
This girl who's knockin' right at your door
Make room for me in your one-man show

Chorus

I know you got the hummer for the summer baby
But I got your number baby
I got your number baby

I know where you live
I know all 'bout your crib
But do you know that they can't give you what I give

Chorus

Don't go sending me those three dozen roses
Don't you know that just one rose will do
Don't go trying to put diamonds on my fingers
Don't you know that I'm making money too

Don't go throwing those stones outside my window
You don't gotta be calling three times a day
'Cause if you do then when we get together
I'll be biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say

Haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right

Chorus
Less is more
Back it up slow it down let it breathe
Cause you too much of a good thing can be
Bad
See we don't wanna go out like that
Less is more
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
If you want me to still be around
Remember

If you wanna be showing your affection
Don't you know a simple kiss will do
So many beautiful ways for love's expression
But I'm sorry to say your way ain't getting through

Haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right

Chorus

It would be something if I had a chance to be missing you
Too much for taking it's driving me crazy
That's all you do
It needs rearranging
It's so suffocating
That I can't move
You gotta take two steps back
Believe what they say
It's true

Chorus

Gimme a chance to miss you
Boy I don't mean to diss you, but
I tell you I need some space and still you call me up three times a day
You know, baby you crowding me out
Haven't you heard less is more

A loss that would have thrown
A hole through anybody's soul
And you were only human after all
So don't hold back the tears my dear
Release them so your eyes can clear
I know that you will rise again
But you gotta let them fall
I wish that I could snap my fingers
Erase the past but no
You cannot rewind reality
Once the tape's unrolled

Chorus:
If your spirit's broken and you can't bear the pain
I will help you put the pieces back
A little more each day
And if your heart is locked and you can't find the key
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I'll set you free
I'll be your security

A moment of despair
That forces you to say that life's unfair
It makes you scared of what tomorrow may bring
But don't go giving into fear
Stop hiding all alone in there
The show keeps going on and on
But you'll miss the whole damn thing
I wish I had a crystal ball to see what the future holds
But we don't know how the story ends till it's all been told

Chorus

On any clock upon the wall
The time is always now
So baby kiss the past goodbye
Don't let the future blow your mind
Just sit back and chill
Take things as they come
You can't be afraid
To live for today
I will be with you each step of the way

Chorus:
You're wasting your time
Trying to tear us apart
You can't stop our plans
We were destined from the start
He loves me
I love him
And even though were young at heart
You're the one in denial

Tired of creeping around when I'm craving for
His kiss
Whenever I'm lonely he is the only one
I miss
You say it ain't right but I think that you got it wrong
Its bliss
And I love him yeah yeah
I love him

He makes me go oo-oo-ooooo
When he looks at me
Oo-ooo-ooo
And it's plain to see
Nothing you can do-oo-ooooo
To discourage me
And I love him
I really love him

Chorus

My parents say I'm too good and that he doesn't deserve me
My friends think he's not cool enough so they'd rather desert me
My sister says her boyfriend has a brother and she'll introduce me
But I don't want him, no
I've got my man

There's nothing you can do-oo-oooo
To discourage me
I'm cool with my man's family
If you were in my shoes
You'd feel differently
But you're in denial
You're in denial

Chorus

You're the one in denial
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in denial

Said I would cry for him
Lie for him
Hell I'd even die for him
Cry for him
Lie for him
Hell I'd even die for him
Cry for him
Lie for him
Hell I'd even die for him

In the game of love
It takes all you got
Just to keep it moving up
Don't you wanna reach the top
But heaven seems such a crazy dream
If your heart has room for doubt
You're neither in you're neither out

99 1/2 it just won't do
You gotta give me all of you
Not asking too much of a heart that's true
So tell me...

Chorus
What's the name of the game that we are playing
But whenever I think that we are winning
Then you roll the dice take a slide
Right back to the one from 99

Is it gonna go on like this forever
Are we gonna to take that last step together
Going round and round and up and down
Feels just like snakes and ladders

Baby don't it feel like a carousel
Where all the world is rushing by
But when it stops you realize
That you're right back where you started at
I need a little more than that
It time for us to face the facts

Whether to be or not to be
That is the question so it seems
We're going nowhere in between
So tell me...

Chorus

Don't wanna play this game anymore
I gotta know right now for sure
What am I giving my heart for
Baby I need a little more
Don't leave me hanging on a string
Now that I gave you everything


Not when I play to win
Snakes and ladders

Chorus (2x)

(Lalalalalala

Chorus
I hope you'll understand
That I can't always come when you call
Understand everybody has their faults
Please understand not to worry who I'm with or what I do
Cause I understand that I'm in love with you
Do you understand that I'm in love with you

I keep our song on repeat
On my ipod, even when I sleep
And in my dream I'm holding you
Alone on an island just us two

Chorus

The last guy had me so wrong
He kept complaining I was away too long
Don't treat me that way cause in your head
You've got to trust me I won't be led

Chorus

I hope your mind ain't working overtime
I hope your memories are full of good times with me
Don't trip if right now I can't answer the phone
Cause you know that soon I'll be coming home

Chorus

Do you understand
Cause I understand
Do you understand that I'm in love with you boy
I'm so in love with you, so in love with you
Cause I understand
Do you?
Do you understand that I'm in love with you

You caught my eye
And out of nowhere you appeared
By surprise and it's not like me but certainly, I
I heard myself calling for you

Could it be fate
I'm feeling butterflies
And I can't escape
And it's like a rush that's coming over me
The sight of you just takes me away

Chorus
Boy you're so fine
And I wanna tell ya so
I'm much too shy
Wanna make you mine
But I don't know how

Got so much time
Your attitude, everything
You make me smile
Think I'm falling in deep for no reason why
I can't help myself yeah yeah

Friends think I'm wrong
For being head over heels
I should be strong
Should I stay and deal with it
Or should I just let go

Chorus (extended):
Feeling crazy my heart beats racing now
I can't fight it
Got to make you mine
But I don't know how

Baby let me know what's up now
Ya got to show me some how, how you feel
Cause I can't take it no more
I really need to know what's good with you boy

Might as well get used to you
End it all like you said you'll do
Cause talk is cheap boy out on the street
Cause people know when there's heat

Chorus:
I'm torn and I'm tattered
Sick and tired living my life singing the same old song
Oh I, I feel a little battered
Looks like I'm living my life running a one-man show
Oh, I, I don't know where the feeling's gone
I'll survive, I'll stay alive, I'm gonna carry on

Tell me tell me, won't you tell me
Where's my mister man
Who will try to deny me now
Everything I plan to be

Chorus

Riding the rodeo
Up and down we go, yeah
Where we'll end up
I just don't know
Like a rodeo
Down we go
(Riding the rodeo
up and down we go (4x))

Chorus

I got to walk away
I got to end this pain
I'm gonna make it through
See, I'm getting over you (2x)

I'll stay, stay alive
I'll stay alive
Look at my face
(Riding a rodeo, so high, so fly (2x))

(I don't know)

Maybe life is better off this way
But what about the others who aren't here today
We struggle with the tide
Falling with our hearts
But then in my mind
No point in killing time

Chorus
You better stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again (2x)

I have tried to put it from my mind
To bury all the trouble that I've left behind
But still I can't explain
The words I just can't find
And I can't understand it
Ain't nothing gonna change my mind

Chorus

I know I may be young
And know nothing of this world
Oh Lord, it's been long
In its coming
I don't care if my words sound absurd
Your play won't play this time

Chorus

Can't get it out of my mind
Can't you see that I'm not blind
I can see what you're doing
Stop what you're doing
What will it take for you to recognize your mistake
I was counting on you but now I know your just a first class fool

Chorus

Stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again
You have to get it right this time

Tonight when the darkness comes
Why don't we treat it like a friend
Then we'll both be glad to see the night
And we'll be hoping
It's never going to end

So don't be afraid of what the night-time may bring
You must understand that you can dream of anything

Chorus:
So fall into sleep
Peaceful and deep
And may this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer
Don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And I when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep

You won't be alone
For I will not be denied
Under the darkest of skies
I'm gunna be by your side

Chorus

Well I know
I can see it in your eyes
You're tired of fighting everyday
Trying to struggle through the night
Yes I know that it's hard to carry on
So just lay down your heard
And in your dreams you will be strong

Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Oh like a child
Peaceful and deep

Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And I when you lay you down

He shares my blood
He holds my soul
Will he ever know, ever know, he's caught in his own scheme

He's my brother
Come straight from my mother
He's stronger than he thinks he is
Let him know, let him know

I pray to God, will He help him
Does he deserve this
I don't know

At times he comes across selfish
But he ain't a bad person, this I know

His lies, his cheats, his stealings
Makes me cry till I stop breathing
He simply lost his mind
Lord I'm asking you Lord
Will help him find it, ooh

Oh it's sad, find a will
And you'll find a way, oohoooh
I live by that
Each and every day... yeah yeah yeah yeah

Daniel, won't you listen to the words I say
Writing this was harder than you'd ever think
You got a heart, you got a mind, you got a soul
And your eyes are kind, your eyes are kind, and your eyes are kind

oohooooh
hmmmmm

Daniel, won't you listen to the words I say
Writing this was harder than you'd ever think

Where have all the good men gone?
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn
And dream of what I need

I need a hero
(I'm holding out)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
(For a hero)
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
(I'm holding out)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
(For a hero)
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
(A hero)
Larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, oh

I need a hero
(I'm holding out)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
(For a hero)
And he's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
(I'm holding out)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
(For a hero)
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
Gotta be larger than life
(A hero)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
(Watching, watching)
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

I need a hero
(I'm holding out)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
(For a hero)
And he's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
He's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
(I'm holding out)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
(For a hero)
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
He's gotta be larger than life
(A hero)

(I'm holding out)
(For a hero)
For a hero, ooh
(I'm holding out)
Holding out
(For a hero)

You know the night time

Oh, to be with the one you love
Oh baby baby baby yeah
You know who I'm, who I'm thinking of, yeah
Baby you know the night time is the right time
To be with the one you love,

If my mother has been gone
And my father left his poor child crying
Oh baby baby baby

And keep me satisfied
You know the night time is the right time
To be with the one you love
With the, with the one you love

Squeeze me squeeze me tease me baby
Baby the night time is the right time
To be with the one you're in love with
With that only one you're in love with

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you

Hmm, hmm, hmm
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?

Oh, God only knows what I'd be without you
(God only knows what I'd be without you)
Mm, ooh, oh God, oh God
(God only knows what I'd be without you)
Only knows what I'd be without you
(God only knows what I'd be without you)
Mm, oh
(God only knows what I'd be without you)
God only knows what I'd be without you

(feat. Elton John)

[Elton John:]
On a hill long ago
On a cold winter's night
In a land far away
Three kings saw a light
And from heaven it shone
Like God's
God's own crown
And it guided three kings
Into Bethlehem town

[Joss Stone:]
Oh they came bearing gifts
And so said each one
Let's call this day Christmas
From this
Moment on
We'll be calling it Christmas
In, in honour of him
The child in the manger
Our saviour and king

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
[Joss Stone:]
Knowing the reason
We're, we're saving the day

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
[Joss Stone:]
(Down through the years, baby)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
(Is here)

[Elton John:]
Oh a simple belief
Was the start of it all
A small child asleep
On a bed made of straw

[Joss Stone:]
At the back of an inn
Where, where shepherds and kings
First felt the joy that
This moment would bring

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
[Joss Stone:]
Knowing the reason
We're, we're saving the day

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
[Joss Stone:]
(Down through the years, baby)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
(Is here)

[Joss Stone:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
(Down through, down through)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
(Is here)

[Joss Stone:]
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas, ooh
Is here
(Is here)
