Lyrics: Macy Gray, Music by Jeremy Fuzumna Barryl & Dave Wilder

Hot like hot wing with hot chocolate in hell
Cold like in my isolation it sell
In the winter
While kissing Mr. Freeza
Takes the weather man
And blow him away
Love is a desert and I need it to rain
You are so good at keeping me company

You are relating to a psychopath
Your role model is in therapy
You must be real far gone
You're relating to a psychopath

Noah's elephants are leaving the ark in eights
During the upside of my many depressive state
Crickets sing in 3 part harmony
I try to walk away
I choke and I stumble
I'm flying back so listen close when I mumble
That you are so good at keeping me company

You are relating to a psychopath
Your role model is in therapy
You must be real far gone
You're relating to a psychopath

It never adds up when you do your math
You're relating to a psychopath
Yes I'm real far gone
You're relating to a psychopath

It never adds up when you do your math
You're relating to a psychopath
Yes I'm real far gone
You're relating to a psychopath

Medication is slow
And it's when it kicks in
That my mind chooses to go
My feel better begins
Just when I get attached
It ends
It's insane
So I'm mentally mad a psycho
1,2,3,4

Cartoon figures dance in my heed
I said
Love is butter won't you be my bread
And you are so good at keeping me company

You are relating to a psychopath
Your role model is in therapy
You must be real far gone
You're relating to a psychopath

It never adds up when you do your math
You're relating to a psychopath
Yes I'm real far gone
You're relating to a psychopath

Lyrics: Macy Gray

He tends to get carried away
Like a talk show he's got drama every day
Lots of rage and mental abusing
The way he treats me it's obvious he's confusing me for some dumb bitch
Who will stick around
I tend to stick around
You, tell me that you love me if it's true
Why am I running from you
And who are these witches on my answering machine
Yeah you, you, tell me you love me but boo if this is love
It's a good thing you don't hate me
Superfly
Someone who'll at least try
Who ... out from time to time
And love me all nite
Tell me everything about him
And none of it turns out to be lies
Easy rainbow
These words come to mind
And he loves me all nite
You
Tell me that you love me if it's true
Why am I running from you
And who are these bitches on my answering machine
Yeah you, you, tell me you love me but boo if this is love
It's a good thing you don't hate me

Never settle for the things that you don't really want
Cause all it gets you is a big of piece of unhappiness
Happiness could be mine and it's so hard to talk to you
Baby
One day I will
Some day I will and this is what I'll say
Ah ha ha
Boo

Hold me close
Cause I'm the most thing that make a toast to you and me
See that's the way love's supposed to be
Not stressful...alright

You
Tell me that you love me if it's true
Why am I running from you
And who are these bitches on my answering machine

It's a good thing you don't hate me
It is love it's how could this be


. . .


Lyrics: Macy Gray
Music: Jeremy Ruzumnk, Dave Wilder & Darryl Swann

Everybody shake it
Time to be free amongst yourselves
Your mama told you to be discreet
And keep your freak to yourself
But your mama lied to you all this time
She knows as well as you and I
You've got to express what is taboo in you
And share your freak with the rest of us
Cause it's a beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing

This is my sexual revolution,sexual revolution

Everybody shake it
Time to be free amongst yourselves
Your mama told you to be discreet
And keep your freak to yourself
But your mama lied to you all this time
She knows as well as you and I
You've got to express what is taboo in you
And share your freak with the rest of us
Cause it's a beautiful thing

Sexual revolution
It's a beautiful thing
It's a beautiful thing

Everybody break it
Every rule every constriction
My papa told me be home by now
But my party has just begun
Maybe he'll understand
That got to be
To be the freak that God made me
So many things that I want to try
Got to do them before I die

This is my sexual revolution
I'm so funky beautiful
Especially when I take my clothes off
I'm so funky beautiful
Especially when I take my clothes off

Sexual revolution

Featuring Slick Rick 

check one two
check one two
hey young world
check one two
check one two
young world young world

this track here may cause concern
for all ring leaders
why don't you listen and learn
love peace happiness once was strong
but due to society
even that's turned wrong

why?

don't be a dumb dummy
and disrespect mommy
why?
she put you on earth
and loved you since birth
and you

hey young world
the world is yours
hey young world
the world is yours
young world young world
young world young world

reward is a brainwashed kid gone wild
young little girls already have a child
bad company and now you've been framed
parents are hurting so hurted and ashamed
why?
hell lil kids don't follow these dopes
why?
don't be a fool like those who ditch school
it's yours

hey young world
the world is yours
hey young world
the world is yours
young world young world

get ahead
and accomplish things
you'll see the wonder and the joy life brings
don't admire thieves they don't admire you
their times are limited
and hardrocks too
listen be strong
and scream
woopie doo
go for yours
cause dreams come true
you'll make your mommy so proud of you too
and this is a message that the ruler rick threw

why?

(slick rick)
elders see our wise ones grow
interest in what their kid learned 'bout
seen how the offspring turned out
knowing you can now safeguard self
put upon an exciting path
you see immense pride they'll have

hey young world
the world is yours
hey young world
the world is yours
young world young world

don't discipline rule soundly
kids that we have lose boundaries
grow into what's called curse race lack independence
worst case imprisonment death near for
not what we brought kids here for
norals and values of sorts should be the first thing installed

believe it or not
god still shines on you
he guides you
and he watched you as you grew
stay out of trouble
when it comes insight
cause a man never loses a fight in god's sight


. . .



Many times I've been told that I should go 
but they don't know
what we got baby 
they may not see the love in you 
but love I do 
and I'll stay right here

mmm sweet sweet baby life is crazy
but there's one thing 
I am sure of
that I'm your lady 
always baby 
and I love you now and ever

Sugar wishes don't change what is real
or how it feels in the bad times
for whatever he is, he's mine all the time
and we get by with our true love

mmm sweet sweet baby life is crazy
but there's one thing 
I am sure of
that I'm your lady 
always baby 
and I love you now and ever

mmm sweet baby life is crazy
but there's one thing 
I am sure of
that I'm your lady 
always baby 
and I love you now and ever

I bet, would I ever find, my sweet
just a true love, my sweet
that we come this far together
I bet, so I'm here to stay 
cos without you baby 
I can't go any further

mmm sweet baby life is crazy
but there's one thing 
I am sure of
that I'm your lady 
always baby baby
mah mah ever mah mah ever mah mah sweet sweet baby
life is so sweet with you 
sweet with you 
sweet
sweet with... 
(Macy fades away)

you must be smellin' cherries and strawberries and peaches
and plums
roses and dandelions

special lovin' on the nite I spent with you
it was the best that I've had lately
but it didn't mean anything
and I will be glad when you stop callin' me

harry
don't wanna be your girlfriend
but boy when you want the lovin'
come and see me harry

swore my ever lasting true love to you
said that I need ya I want ya didn't I baby
but I was just kiddin' 'round
and I will be glad when you stop callin' my house

harry
don't wanna be your girlfriend
but boy when you want the lovin'
come and see me harry

it's a shame harry
cause you such a beautiful thing harry
you tell em that you love and I bet you do
but love's not my thing right now harry
all I wanna do is swing
and when you're ready
I'm here for you

please harry
stop callin' me

harry
don't wanna be your girlfriend
but boy when you want the lovin'
feel free to come and see me harry


. . .



he drives a g wagon
and he looks just like my dream
I been climbin' all his mountains
I been swimming all his seas

no matter what or how I tried
I couldn't get the man to fall in love with me
turns out he likes the girls with long and wavy hair
mine is short and kinky
I have lost my mind

c'mon and
gimme all your lovin'
or I will kill you
put one through your head
gimme all your lovin'
or I will kill you
and cry when you're dead

his whole body was shaking
and he holla'd when he fell to his knees
I held tighter to my ak
he said please please whatever you need
see I have searched the wide world
to find the peace for the war in me
don't wanna look no further
but you refuse to give it to me

and I have lost my mind

c'mon and
gimme all your lovin'
or I will kill you
put one through your head
gimme all your lovin'
or I will kill you
and cry when you're dead

it's amazing what a gun to the head can do
my baby loves me now as hard as he can
my methods may be suspect
but you gotta get love however you can

I have lost my mind!


. . .



i have finally faced it
the well is dry
and we're not gonna make it
out of the war alive
he brings me close and says to me
lets make this a happy ending
and try to stay friends
but you see
if this love affair was happy
then it would not end

and i don't wanna be
one of your friends
if we must break up
then that's where it ends
(chorus)
so please don't come around
bringing me down
listening for your love
i don't hear a sound
please don't come around
bringing me down
tossin' and turnin'
my smile's upside down

don't invite me out to dinner
don't call me on the phone
you wanted to leave me baby
so won't you leave me alone

(chorus)

it's all or nothing
we'll be one or none
right now you need to know
that I cannot begin again
after what just happened
this ain't no tv show
my heart's completely broke
so...
(chorus)
and i miss your love baby
and i miss your lovin'
so stay away from me


. . .



nutty nutmeg phantasy
can't you see you and me
in my nutty nutmeg phantasy
nutty nutmeg phantasy
you and me
can't you see
you and me
in my nutty nutmeg

baby I know we had a bad day
you are so mad at me
it don't mean we have to mope around
picture us on the moon
happy like a cartoon
believe in love and it will come down

nutty nutmeg phantasy
can't you see you and me
in my nutty nutmeg phantasy
nutty nutmeg phantasy
you and me
can't you see
you and me
in my nutty nutmeg

picture if I was understanding
and you were less demanding
and the only time we scream and shout
is when we're making love babe
on top of cloud 8
believe in love and it will come down

nutty nutmeg phantasy
can't you see you and me
in my nutty nutmeg phantasy
nutty nutmeg phantasy
you and me
can't you see
you and me
in my nutty nutmeg

imagine and maybe it will happen
you and me till the end
may be a dream but it's real to me
chocolare covered roses
love in massive doses
in my nutmeg phanta-ta-sy

nutty nutmeg phantasy
can't you see you and me
in my nutty nutmeg phantasy
nutty nutmeg phantasy
you and me
can't you see
you and me
in my nutty nutmeg


. . .



sorry that I'm late
I been searchin' for something great
something to fill me up
he said join the club
then we made love till my body ached

and baby when you have the time
I wanna tell you what is on my mind
I gotta get it off
cause it's so heavy
after what we did the other night
I wanna be with you for all my life
I'm so glad you're a freak like me

someone be a true one
see the last one made me cry
all the time my love
he said join the club
and we make love till
my emotions rise

my emotions rise

and baby when you have the time
I wanna tell you what is on my mind
I gotta get it off
cause it's so heavy
after what we did the other night
I wanna be with you for all my life
I'm so glad you're a freak like me
love like I dream of
like they sing of in the beautiful song
feeling it deep tonight
and I'd rather die
than be without you when the morning comes
you make me feel like my search is done

baby when you have the time
I wanna tell you what is on my mind
I gotta get it off
cause it's so heavy
after what we did the other night
I wanna be with you for all my life
I'm so glad you're a freak like me


. . .



it's real sick
the state of the world today
it's real thick
to come up and find a way
solution
the next time you're alone
you can
create a world of your own
make it magic
give it love
make it all you're dreaming of
everybody
in my underwear
sometimes I visit there
oblivion
ignorance is bliss
don't know nothing but this
oblivion
forget
bounce from right to left
here with the broken hearted
let's get this party started
lalalalalala
I eat my marimbas
oblivion
I tingle when I sing
bling bling bling ting ting
oblivion
forget
bounce from right to left
here with the broken hearted
let's get this party started
it's tempting to pack up your throne
move in
make this magic place your home
but nobody else can go
you'll be forever all alone
forget
bounce from right to left
no longer broken hearted and I don't know when it started

oblivion


. . .



we need the honey like the bees
gimme sound
need to be touched by you but you're not around
forgiveness
please save some for me
wash me down
till I'm new
till I'm pleasing you
till I am nothing but true
please save a little for me
where is the forgiveness that you promised me
am I too late
gone astray
misplaced the keys to all my churches
seems I've chased all my angels away
so I bleed
gimme speed
while I'm running back to you
and I'll be nothing but true true
me you choose
see I was hopin' I could walk on your water with you

forgiveness
please send some down for me
where is the forgiveness that you promised me
am I too late
and I've learned to be still when the beast within me moves
and I'll be nothing but true
