sex on me 03:12
my boyfriends stop and say: "why do the girls look at you that way?" --it's because I got sex on me... after a whole year spent in a hole, I finally got my mojo back on a roll, now I got sex on me. after a whole year spent in the dark, I'm back to the business of breaking hearts, now I got sex on me. just because I rocked around the clock all night-- with a girl that I'm not even sure if I really like, man I told ya, it doesn't matter, I got sex on me! I got sex on me and it's alright I rocked around the clock and all through the night I didn't get a chance to give a kiss goodbye but you're never gonna see my cry! I dedicate this verse to the girls at home: they keep calling me cause they're scared to be alone so I share a few stories and I tell a few lies-- I wash my hands and wipe em dry! out, dang spot! out, out, I say! tell the lady that the lord left on his way! the hero flies home with a pocket full of gold and tell the devil he can keep my soul! BECAUSE I GOT SEX ON ME AND IT'S ALRIGHT I rocked around the clock and all through the night I didn't get a chance to give a kiss goodbye but you're never gonna see my cry! I got sex on me and it's all good cause I rocked around the clock like I knew I would I keep breaking hearts like I did in the past and tell Karma he can kiss my ass! "and I'll make love like no one can, if you give me just a chance you'll let me be your man" --but I think I'd rather spend my whole life alone and tell my troubles to a microphone! cause I break hearts! I break rules! stick my thing when I need to! stick my thing and run from you if that's what I need to do! I got sex on me and it's alright I rocked around the clock and all through the night I didn't get a chance to give a kiss goodbye but you're never gonna see my cry!

she promised to call me later it doesn't matter to me the signs that drive the satyr from the bottom of the sea and she won't hear my lamentations so i'll be drifting harmoniously drifting harmoniously i walked down from the train on the avenue my spaceship stereo and i and Robert Plant still singin' the blues i wonder 'did she use me?' as i walked by your building today ain't that funny, i stop and think as i turn away did you just wanna get your rocks off like i did with your friend? if i'm so good at it, then why can't we do it again? i'm counting out the stories to the window of the girl that should be mine one two three four five six seven eight nine i'm counting out the stories to the window of the girl that should be mine one two three four five six seven eight nine

you walked out the pages of a 2006 Cosmo magazine always hip, never ever played out by the trains on 7th street hipstagrrrl, you make me want to smack you cause you make me feel so blue when you make me watch you hipstagrrrl, always lookin' past me hipstagrrrl, why you wanna hurt me? I tried to pretend not to care and love me better than you but you wouldn't ever let me go you made me watch you when I was blue so I left the city for awhile-- to get my head together, like my mama said: "you just can't love em if they make you feel bad" but I loved you anyways hipstagrrrl, lookin like you never had a family living out a tragedy-- still you gonna laugh at me hipstagrrrl, always lookin' past me hipstagrrrl, why you wanna hurt me?

all these accidents that happen, follow the dot coincidence makes sense, only with you you don't have to speak, I feel emotional landscapes, they thrill me until the riddle gets solved and you push me up to a state of emergency, is where I want to be state of emergency, how beautiful to me all that no one sees, you see what's inside of me every nerve that hurts, you heal deep inside of me -- ooh! you don't have to speak, I feel emotional landscapes they thrill me, confuse ________, til the riddle gets solved and you push me up to a state of emergency, is where I want to be state of emergency, how beautiful to me state of emergency, is where I want to be state of emergency, how beautiful to me

i wrote a letter to a very old friend of mine and then i cleaned my room you could see me hanging out window as the sky turns black and blue you could see me counting cars passing by call my mother call my father smoke a cigarette or two and everything i try, it's like i'm running away it's like i'm running away from you but i still can't stop thinking about you but i still can't stop thinking about you maybe there's something wrong with me because it breaks my heart every time you cross my mind still i can't stop thinking about you i think about you think about you think about you all the time even when i cry, something in my mind won't break my ties from you and even in my dreams, my eyes are wide open, i can't stop thinking 'bout you but i still can't stop thinking about you but i still can't stop thinking about you
