There was a little boy in a country he was told was not his home
He tried very hard to fit in, but he was always alone
And then one day he saw the other children going out to play
They told him to "get lost, fuck off home", and his father told him what to say
No, I don't wanna leave the playground when I've done nothing wrong
And don't you ever try to tell me that I don't belong here
No, I don't wanna feel your hatred when I've done nothing wrong
And don't you ever think that maybe we can get along now?
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Them children they laughed at him and they mocked at him and they stole his football
He felt so ashamed and lonely that he ran away
And when his father come home from work he say "What is wrong with you?"
He told him to “Be proud, Stand up straight, and Remember what told you, boy!"
No, I don't wanna leave the playground when I've done nothing wrong
And don't you ever try to tell me that I don't belong here
No, I don't wanna feel your hatred when I've done nothing wrong
And don't you ever think that maybe we can get along now?
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
No, I don't wanna leave the playground when I've done nothing wrong
And don't you ever try to tell me that I don't belong here
No, I don't wanna feel your hatred when I've done nothing wrong
And don't you ever think that maybe we can get along now?
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh

You took a picture of yourself and you sent it to me
I wonder if you really knew what it meant to me
I wonder if you tried, I wonder if you cried
I wonder if your pride got in the way
I tried and tried all night to do it just like you wanted
You said don’t overthink it, baby lose control
Come on and take a hold, dear god I’ll shoot my load
So come on, come on, woh oh oh oh oh oh
Put on your weekend getaway lipstick
Come on and take me for a ride tonight oh oh
Put on your weekend getaway lipstick
You wont regret it, come on and let it, oh oh
Sooner or later there’ll be consequences to pay
I’ll never know the reason why you leave it so late
You're really looking great, its time to celebrate
So come on, come on, woh oh oh oh oh oh
Put on your weekend getaway lipstick
Come on and take me for a ride tonight oh oh
Put on your weekend getaway lipstick
You wont regret it, come on and let it, oh oh
Now 10 years later on you’re watching your tv show
It all happened so quickly life ran out the door
Maybe its not too late to renegotiate
So come on, come on, woh oh oh oh oh oh
Put on your weekend getaway lipstick
Come on and take me for a ride tonight oh oh
Put on your weekend getaway lipstick
You wont regret it, come on and let it, oh oh
Put on your weekend getaway lipstick
Come on and take me for a ride tonight oh oh
Put on your weekend getaway lipstick
You wont regret it, come on and let it, oh oh

Good Life

Something's going on and I can feel it in the air
The winds are changing, stormy weather brewing baby, everywhere
The temperature is rising higher and higher, every single day
Strange emotions running through me, confuse me, in every single way
But lately, I get a feeling everything is gonna be alright
Lately, I got a feeling deep inside that I just cant hide
And if its good enough, no matter what ever the weather
If I have enough, I know i'll make lt last forever and have a good life
Waiting for a change to come along and turn me round
The wheels keep turning, driving me on but i ain’t goin', anywhere
The road keeps climbing and every day its harder, something's gotta give
Push myself on gotta do it, to prove it, cant let it all fall down
But lately, I get a feeling everything is gonna be alright
Lately, I got a feeling deep inside that I just cant hide
And if its good enough, no matter what ever the weather
If I have enough, I know i'll make lt last forever and have a good life
But lately, I get a feeling everything is gonna be alright
Lately, I got a feeling deep inside that I just cant hide
And if its good enough, no matter what ever the weather
If I have enough, I know i'll make lt last forever and have a good life

Better Later Than Never

The weaker you get the stronger you have to be to get back on it
The further you fall the higher you've gotta climb to get on top of it
The lessons you learn will show you how little you know 'bout anything
Stumbling on, I know I'll get to the bottom of it eventually
It's better later than never
To turn around and see just who you wanna be
It's better later than never
It's better later than never
To turn around and see just who you wanna be
It's better later than never
Life’s such a dick! the more you think about it, the harder it gets
The deeper I dig to find the meaning of things, the more confused I get
I try to be good and do the things that I should
But I don't get it right every time
At the end of my days I hope that ill be amazed
At what I've accomplished here
It's better later than never
To turn around and see just who you wanna be
It's better later than never
It's better later than never
To turn around and see just who you wanna be
It's better later than never
Better later than, never had the time
To make up my mind if I wanna do dis ting
Do I wanna go left? do I wanna go right?
To do all de tings dat I fuck up in de last time
Better later than never if you go there
Better later than never if you go bare
Better later than, better later than
Better later than
Better better later than never
It's better later than never
To turn around and see just who you wanna be
It's better later than never
It's better later than never
To turn around and see just who you wanna be
It's better later than never

Well it's as simple as 123
To find your way home
You push it further then you want some more
And you get it on
And don't pretend you don't know what I'm saying
And don't get me wrong
You're nearly there just take it nice an easy
And it wont be too long before you
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Pretty soon you're feelin' alright
Reel it in and throw it out
Feel that love and let it all hang out
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
You find yourself in a predicament
Or maybe you are lost
Just remember that you're not alone
And it wont be too long before you
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Pretty soon you're feelin' alright
Reel it in and throw it out
Feel that love and let it all hang out oh oh oh
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Pretty soon you're feelin' alright
Reel it in and throw it out
Feel that love and let it all hang out oh oh oh
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Pretty soon you're feelin' alright
Reel it in and throw it out
Feel that love and let it all hang out oh oh oh
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Pretty soon you're feelin' alright
Reel it in and throw it out
Feel that love and let it all hang out
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

She said to take it easy, she said don't push it
That things will happen in their time
So I went along with it for a while
I tried to keep it going
I tried to keep the door a little open
I tried to keep my big mouth shut
But can I? can I? can I?
Can I ask u a rhetorical question
No need to answer now its just a suggestion
I'm feelin' lonely and I need conversation
I hope you don't keep me waiting in this rhetorical situation
I hope you don't keep me waiting in this rhetorical situation
I hope you don't keep me waiting in this rhetorical situation
She said don't think about it, you’re getting paranoid
You're so needy, you're gonna fuck it up
And I nearly decided to take her advice
Yeah
Before the week is over, temptation taking hold
Send a message, I cant help it
Couldn't keep my big mouth shut so can I?
Can I? can I? can I?
Can I ask u a rhetorical question
No need to answer now its just a suggestion
I'm feelin' lonely and I need conversation
I hope you don't keep me waiting in this rhetorical situation
I hope you don't keep me waiting in this rhetorical situation
I hope you don't keep me waiting in this rhetorical situation
Can I ask u a rhetorical question
No need to answer now its just a suggestion
I'm feelin' lonely and I need conversation
I hope you don't keep me waiting in this rhetorical (situation)
Can I ask u a rhetorical question
