I don't wanna feel alone for the rest of my life Just because I've chosen you You really couldn't ask me just to be your wife and expect me to be true There was one who made me doubt that, though He was such a special man He said, "Baby, you're a wanderer, it wouldn't be right to pin a wave to the sand" Don'tcha talk to me in the mornin', love it makes me forget my dreams I've always slept in vans next to the members of my teams Just What do you expect from me? before I ingest caffeine? Tonight I need my energy to Dance among moonbeams. Dance Among Moonbeams Dance Among Moonbeams Butter Flies in the jungle float around the waterfalls you tell me 'bout your travels, that don't bother me at all but it really doesn't interest me to listen to your lies I'll be by the Ocean, just a Swimmin in the Skies Swimmin in the Skies Swimmin in the Skies I'm not Lookin' for a conqueror to save me now Alone I do just fine I never really found myself a wondering how I'd while away the time I know you want to save me, love, but I ain't drownin' here all I got to my name is time so quit Takin' up what's mine Takin' up what's mine Takin' up what's mine Every month that I'm away I truly miss my home But not because of you I miss havin' a sacred space to call my own I miss it through & through And to all those who rejected me, I truly understand But you have got to stop talkin' like this is your house you're Just Another Man Just Another Man Just Another Man Just Another Man Just Another Man

Merman 03:22
Merman Honey take me down to the Ocean, Blue, Let me spend one Stormy night with you Merman baby take me down to the ocean deep Lay me in your waterbed to sleep You've got some shinin' scales, eyes of blue, skin so pale hair just like a bleached sargasso weed Saw you lyin' in the sand, You were half Fish, you were half man, You smiled, so I hatched myself a plan. You got the body of a swimmer, yes you do. Michael Phelps ain't got nothin' on you Merman, all around your waist is a ring of golden scales. Smooth & slimy but definitely male. Merman, Honey, call me when you're in the mood I'd love to take you out for some seafood Saw you stylin' your hair, you found it harder in the air Salt water makes it silky & so fair You've got some shinin' scales, eyes of blue, skin so pale Are you just another test I'm gonna fail? Merman, Baby, take me down to the ocean floor Hold me like ya did that time before Dancin' under water makin' my head spin Hold me in the flukes of your tailfin Merman Honey take me down to your ocean lair As long as I'm with you I guess I don't need Air. Teach me to breathe like you, under the waves Let me explore your.... Caves. Rode your seahorse into town Like you were the only myth around Look, You ain't even the biggest fish I found. I could be tellin' fairy tales but with one quick flip of your spiny tail you were off like a shot and I ain't seen you no more Now who is gonna believe a Merman & me? I guess I'm taking this one to the grave . Merman Honey, yes I know your life ain't fair; You live under water but your head's full of air.

Take Meh 03:25
I get this feelin in my cheeks when I see you like my tweets and I can't help but smile when you say it's been a while but it's only been a week or even less, I think yeah, it's just so adorable for once I'm feelin comfortable you're just that kinda guy with that glimmer in your eye and your smell just gets me high I know you don't even try it's like skiing in the sun makes me shiver but it's fun and it gave me quite a rush when you said I could make you blush cuz I've been vying for two years & you been crying to your peers 'bout how your ex was so uncomfortable you just want to be comfortable you offer me a scotch and I was looking at your watch feeling wired and kinda prickly you were drunk and I was sickly you invited me into your home you said stay, and I said no And no, I didn't leave on purpose, but my feelings made me nervous you didn't take it as a burn you were glad to wait your turn but when we didn't even kiss I thought what kinda shit is this? so a decision must be made and if I stay I won't get laid but you know that I don't mind I'm just happy by your side so we got into your bed "there will be no sex", you said you held me tight, the whole night through and I stayed up, inhaling you and then some thoughts ran through my head I wondered if I'd been misled maybe I got too excited, yes that might've been misguided and now you are fast asleep breathin' slow and deep and I'm just staring at your cieling tryna figure out my feelings There's only so many times I'm gonna say no But I guess you weren't asking, I didn't think so Sometimes you invite me and I just don't go but I'll come and get pizza after your next show I know you know that I can't keep it in my pants when you humour me and dance are you givin' me a chance at romance? and yes, I appreciate your ways and the way your music plays are you askin' me to stay? okay and I don't mind not having tried I was glad to let it ride but I'm smiling wide and screaming inside: "Take meh! However you want me! you should wanna flaunt me I'm dyin' to feel you put your fingers on me! Lay down! drown just for your sake, now I don't need to make sounds for you to hear my thoughts, cuz they're damn loud! "Take meh! However you want me! you should wanna flaunt me But I'm dyin' to feel your fingers on me! Lay down! drown just for your sake, now I don't need to make sounds for you to hear my thoughts, cuz they're damn loud! "Take meh! However you want me! you should wanna flaunt me, I'm dyin' to feel you put your fingers on me! Lay down! drown just for your sake, now I don't need to make sounds Can't you to hear my thoughts? Cuz they're damn loud!"
