Chorus:

You’re a placeholder, a seat filler

You’re holdin a spot till my love comes along

Till he comes

(x2)

We met virtually but in reality, (we connected) connected

You put your hand on my knee, and I smiled coyly

And we connected, connected

Chorus

We were lonely, our beds were empty, (we played) we played

We both needed love, but we are not in love

And we play, we play

Chorus x2

Cause I need passion, I need fire

And you my darling are lukewarm

You need quiet and you need demure

And I am not these things

I am not these things

Chorus x2.5

You know that death came a knocking on

My mama’s/sisters/ front door

He said “Come on mama/sister/Mirenda are you ready to go?”

And she/I stopped down, buckled up her/my shoes

And she/I moved on down to that Jordon stream and she/I shout

“Hallelujah, done done my duty! I got my travelling shoes.”

She calls, you talk

Of what you speak I couldn’t say

Subtext is delicious

Little games that she plays

She ain’t happy

But she won’t leave him, not for you

Yet you persist with this (foolishness)

And she won’t choose

Chorus:

She will never love you, she will never give to you x2

She’s Dangerous, What’s wrong with ya?

Your eyes, your heart is her addiction and she

Ignores your wants and needs

Cause she’s (Greedy, Greedy, Greedy)

And her reflection for you my friend,

Don’t go beyond all these truths

Cause even if her heart was free,

It’d never belong to you

She’s a stupid little, vicious little, vapid little, wicked little, selfish girl

Using you to fill her empty little, sick little, twisted little, selfish world

Chorus

Dangerous, what’s wrong with ya? x2

She’s manipulate with her heart as bait and you follow her around

She’s a nasty little piece, you’re her sorry little clown

She’s manipulate with her heart as bait and you follow her around

She’s a nasty little piece, I wanna take her down

She ain’t worthy, She ain’t worth it x4

I’m a puppet on a string for you

Wicked little rendezvous

leave me dizzy

Flirting baby getting bolder,

On my mind bring it over,

I need you now

I need you, need you now x2

I’ll leave in 5 (I’ll leave in 10)

Sexier when we’re creeping

No one needs to know

The other lover’s never copped it

On the low when we’re rocking

I need you now

I need you, need you now x2

Close the curtains baby, let’s get started

I never called my own name before

Scratching grooves in your back

Pouring oil down my spine

Flip me over do you like that

Caught up in this carrying on

Can we keep going?

(I’ve got my hand on your mouth)

Cause you make me scream too loud

I can’t help it

I need you watching

Don’t stop

I’m not stopping

Amazing x5

Come on baby keep this secret, let’s keep this secret...

Goodbye, I never should have loved you at all

My tears have washed you

Out my head, out my bed, out my life

You’re gone

Do you remember, the night we met dear

We spoke of your history, not mine

You found your thrill, in my ear and smile sweet

But you know nothing, of my heart

Chorus:

Oh no not this miss, I can’t handle this.

Sharing my bed, while your disregarding, disregarding

Am I an intrusion, an optical illusion?

Not another man who knows nothing, nothing, nothing

Of my heart, heart

Its true chemistry, burns like fire love

But I could teach someone else, to do what you do

Why are you still here, warming my sofa sweet?

You trust chemistry, to keep you here.

Chorus x3

Didn’t make love again today, but that’s alright by me

I slept safe with your arm across my back

I slept so peacefully with you by my side

My best friend by my side

Didn’t make love again today, but that’s alright by me

Took me to the beach so the sun could kiss my face

Cause we do platonically so intimately

My best friend by my side

Didn’t make love again today, but that’s alright by me

It’s so hard cause you have her now

And you stupidly believe that she don’t care

My best friend by my side

It’s been a full year since we crossed that line (my best friend by my side)

But never again cause I want you, gotta have you (my best friend by my side)

Lower you pride, come on inside,

No one wanted you gone

Don’t need my affection, don’t like my direction

Hear me sing my song

Sometimes get confused, can’t follow the rules,

You said you needed some time

Tantrums growing wild, act just like a child

Time? You’re wasting mine

Chorus:

I’m gonna take a deep breath

You ain’t getting me down

You make me sick – you make me sick

All alone, wanted to come home,

Wanted forgiveness I see

You stole my money, ain’t starving me honey

Go and let me be

Lies you’re sowing like seeds and you’re in need,

Need to get away from me

Got to too much drama, I ain’t your mama

You’re a catastrophe

Chorus

Named for an Angel, we got entangled

You know you need to repent

Slithering around, I won’t be bound,

To a devil’s sent

Lies you’re sowing like seeds, and you’re in need,

Need to get away from me

Got to too much drama, I ain’t your mama

You’re a catastrophe

Chorus

You've a brilliant mind til you wet it down

when your flying high I hold you to the ground

your dysfunction’s lived out loud

im always there to absorb the sound

You’re chasing the girls with my old man

You’re expecting me to understand

I just don’t know your plan x2

Chorus:

Lay down the bottle, pick up your life

Pick up your feet and pride

1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

Takes 12 steps to save a drowning man

Betrayal and lies in your wake

Remorse and tears complicate

My hearts stressed under the weight x2

Chorus

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, it takes… x4

Chorus:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, it takes… x2

I been scuffling and searching

I can’t see for looking to find

My hearts aching and it’s breaking

I’m about to loose my mind

Them Blues, them Blues x2

Ain’t nothing but a good woman, feeling bad

Family shunned me, all done with me

Ain’t no love for me in this world

I been locked out, was mocked out

In the gutter where I was hurled

Them Blues, them Blues x2

Ain’t nothing but a good woman, feeling bad

Oh them Blues, them damn Blues

Those Blues got the best of me

I’m so hungry and lonely

Will do anything for a crust of bread

My respects gone, won’t be long

Until I lose my head

Them Blues, them Blues x2

Ain’t nothing but a good woman feeling bad

Oh them blues, them damn Blues

Those Blues got the best of me

Blues lies and deceit, Blues got the best of me

Blues are wrecking me

I’ll get back on my feet one day

These Blues ain’t here to stay

I know I can’t be who you want me to be

I try, I’m only human

I know I can’t be enough for you

I try, but I...

You aren’t settled in yourself

You try to blame me

When all I want to do is love you

But you push me away

I could be a supermodel

I could be a crazy bitch

It wouldn’t make a difference

You’re just not happy in yourself

You’ve got to learn to control yourself

Cause I’m a woman grown

And I could give you a happy home

I try but I…

I’ll never be a beauty queen

Don’t matter cause I’m amazing

And for you baby I’d cook and clean

Just give me, give me, give me your love

I finally learned to love myself

Most of the good, some of the bad

I appreciate all I have

If only you could see

Come now give me a smile

Let’s just be happy I’ll

Show you all I’m offering

I tried, but I’m so tired…

I try but I’m so tired

I try but I, I try but I

I try but I’m so tired

Why can’t you love me as I am?

Why can’t you take me as I am?

Why can’t you love me, why can’t you take me?

Why can’t you love me, why can’t you take me?

Why can’t you love me baby? Why don’t you love me baby?

Why don’t you love me honey? Why don’t you love me?
