NOBODYS FOOL

Step up, step up, step up
Step up, step up, step up
Step up, step up, step up

Fall back
Take a look at me
And you'll see
I'm for real
I feel what only I can feel
And if that don't appeal to you
Let me know
And I'll go
'Cuz I flow
Better when my colors show

And that's the way it has to be
Honestly
'Cuz creativity
Could never bloom
In my room
I'd throw it all away before I lie
So don't call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone
I've got a backbone
Stronger than yours
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[chorus]
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
And if you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try

You don't know
You think you know me like yourself
But I fear
That you're only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn
Understand
That I can't
Not be what I am

I'm not the milk and Cheerios in your spoon
Its not a simple here if I'm not so soon
I might've fallen for that when I was fourteen
In a little more dream
But its amazing what a couple of years can mean
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Yeah, yeah

[chorus]
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
And if you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try

Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realize
Realize
Things are trying to settle down
Just try to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If its with or without you
I don't need you doubtin' me

[chorus]
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
And if you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Try

La la la la la la (yeah, yeah)
La la la la la la la (yeah, yeah)
La la la la la la (oh)
La la la la la la (would you be laughing out loud)
La la la la la la la (if I played to my own crowd)
La la la la la la (try)

He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, she'd never tell, secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends stuck up thier nose,
they had a problem with his baggy clothes.

He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

5 years fromr now, she sits at home,
feeding the baby, she's all alone
She turns on tv, guess who she sees?
Skater boy rockin' up MTV.
She calls up her friends, they already know,
and they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along, stands in the crowd
looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does her pretty face see whats hes worth

He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does her pretty face see whats hes worth

Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boys mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends

Too bad that you couldn't see, see the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy, and I'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?

We are in love, haven't you heard, how we rock each others world?
SK8ER BOI

I'm with the skater boy, I said see you later boy
I'll be the stage side at the show
I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote
about a girl he used to know

I'm with the skater boy, I said see you later boy
I'll be the stage side at the show
I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote
about a girl he use to know

THINGS I'LL NEVER SAY

La da da da La da da da...

Im tugging at my hair
Im pulling at my clothes
Im trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
Im staring at my feet
My checks are turning red
Im searching for the words inside my head
Im feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know youre worth it
Youre worth it
Yeah

If I could say what I want to say
Id say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, Im wishing my life away
With these things Ill never say

It dont do me any good
Its just a waste of time
What use is it to you
Whats on my mind?
If aint coming out
Were not going anywhere
So why cant I just tell you that I care
(Cause) Im feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know youre worth it
Youre worth it
Yeah

If I could say what I want to say
Id say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, Im wishing my life away
With these things Ill never say

Whats wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter
I stumble
Like Ive got nothing to say
Yes, I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah

La da da da La da da da...

Yes, Im wishing my life away
With these things Ill never say

If I could say what I want to say
Id say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, Im wishing my life away
With these things Ill never say

These things I'll never say

Tomorrow

And I wanna believe you
When you that it'll be okay
Yeah, I try to believe you
But I don't

When you say that it's gonna be
It always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe you
Not today, today, today, today, today

[chorus]
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is a different day
Tomorrow

Its always been up to you
Its turning around, its up to me
I'm gonna do what I have to do
Just don't

Give me a little time
Leave me alone a little while
Maybe its not too late
Not today, today, today, today, today
Oh

[chorus]
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is a different day

Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
And I know I'm not ready
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
Maybe tomorrow
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
I'm not ready
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
Maybe tomorrow

And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it'll be okay
Yeah, I try to believe you
Not today, today, today, today, today
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change

TOO MUCH TO ASK

Its the first time I ever felt this lonely
I wish someone could cure this pain
Its funny when you think its gonna work out
Til you chose weed over me, you're so lame
I thought you were cool until the point
But up until the point you didnt call me
When you said you would
I finally figured out youre all the same
Always coming up with some kind of story

Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't
Youre too tough
You think you're the best
Is it too much that I'm asking for?

I thought you'd come around when I ignored you
So I thought you'd have the decency to change
But babe, I guess you didn't take that warning
'Cause I'm not about to look at your face again

Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It wont be too late when the smoke clears
'Cause I, I am still here

But everytime I try to make you smile
You'd always grow up feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You stand like a stone
Alone in your zone
Is it too much that I'm asking for?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can't find where i am
Lying here
Alone I fear
Afraid of the dark
No one to claim
Alone again

Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It wont be too late when the smoke clears
'Cause I, I am still here

Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't
You're too tough
You think you're the best
It was too much that I'm asking for

UnWanted

All they did was walk over
Start off my shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

[chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me out
Make me go away

No, I just don't understand why
You won't talk to me
It hurts
Until I'm wanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

[chorus]

Make me go away
I tried to be long
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
Its been so long
I write this song
Thats what it takes

[chorus] (2x)

Make me go away
Make me go away

I'M WITH YOU

I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now

There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone tryin to find me
Wont somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life

Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
Dont know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you
I'm with you

I'm looking for place
I'm searching for a face
Is there anyone here
That i know
Cause nothing is going right
And everythings a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone trying to find me
Wont somebody come take me home
Its a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
Dont know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you
I'm with you, yeah

Oh why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahh

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
Dont know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you
I'm with you (x3)
