(intro)
Mmm, Yeah Yeah,
(verse 1)
Talking to me like theres no one else around
You walked up to me like I was the only one in the crowd
Because my face is something that you can’t forget
and my body’s something that you won’t regret
It’s yours, if i go home with you tonight
(chorus)
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to the top
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to the top
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to the top
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to, get you to the top
(verse 2)
Honey you don’t know what I need
We just met and your words sound desperate to me
Because your face is something that I will regret
And my body's something that you’ll never get
I’m fine if i don’t go with you tonight
(chorus)
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to the top
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to, get you to the top
Mmm get you to the top
Mmm get you to the top
(instrumental)
(chorus)
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to the top
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to the top
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to the top
Make your choices based on feeling
Don’t take those down willing to get you to, get you to the top
I think not

Tell Me The Secret

(verse 1)
So tell me what’s the secret to loving myself
because I just can’t figure it out
I know I don’t get it from you
How are you so blind
You don’t even know what you do
(pre chorus)
You point out my flaws, fall asleep while I cry,
you’re never the cause, I pick you up and I try
God forbid you’re ever the problem and I’m the only one to fix them
(chorus)
I find it hard to love myself
When I let you put me on that shelf
I let you make me someone new
When I thought you were my only help
(verse 2)
I’m tired of allowing myself to be
directed and affected by the people around me
In return all I’ve done for myself is neglected and rejected my needs
(pre chorus)
You point out my flaws, fall asleep while I cry,
you’re never the cause, I pick you up and I try
god forbid you say sorry when you know it was you, the problems that you caused
(chorus)
I find it hard to love myself
When I let you put me on that shelf
I let you make me someone new
When I thought you were my only help
(end)
I let you make me someone new
When I thought you were my only help

(verse 1)
What Isn’t a blast from the past
Calling 8 shots half a glass,
so the world can kiss my ass
Yeah I left with a man
when the night began
(verse 2)
Oh oooh wake up he’s a boy
who calls a woman his toy
Go no time for emotion, it restrains, takes away from his games
God forbid I’m more important than a dota opponent
(chorus)
I’m more confident alone
can’t strike me down where I stand
Who I’ve got ain’t grown
Don’t ask me when he’ll be a man
(verse 3)
Now here’s the thing about me
When I find a man I’m all in,
why waste time on a good thing
what I don’t find funny
when he hits me up just to get lucky
(verse 4)
Oh oooh When I’m cold I get my own damn sweater
In the long run, it would treat me better
I’d hate to rely on someone when I can just get it done
(chorus)
I’m more confident alone
can’t strike me down where I stand
Who I’ve got ain’t grown
Don’t ask me when he’ll be a man
(bridge)
I get lonely, this is no invitation
Don’t call me up say you made an observation
loving ain’t my only solution
(chorus)
I’m more confident alone
can’t strike me down where I stand
Who I’ve got ain’t grown
Don’t ask me when he’ll be a man
(instrumental)
(chorus)
I’m more confident alone
can’t strike me down where I stand
Who I’ve got ain’t grown
Don’t ask me when he’ll be a man
(outro)
I’m more confident alone
Yeah, Oh, Who I’ve got ain’t grown

Devils In The Details

(Verse 1)
Back in New Orleans, it was 1948
Never made it on time, always running late
He plays down in the old Jazz Playhouse
To a crowd of only eight
(Verse 2)
He spots a man in the corner, sitting at the bar
Sippin’ whiskey from a bottle and smoking a cigar
Tips his hat down to a lady as she looks across the room
“My name is Charlie and I gotta song for you.”
(Pre-chorus)
Doo doo doo da
Doo doo doo da
(Chorus)
So he wants to be the greatest
But he doesn’t know how
Just like everybody else
He wants an easy way out.
So he wants to feel alive
Escape this misery
Sell his soul to the devil
And go down in history
(Verse 3)
He looks down at his watch, it’s 3:30am
After closing curtain, the crowd begins to thin
Sees the man in the corner, still sippin’ on his gin
Turns towards his shoulder, with a seeping grin
(Verse 4)
“I know you want fame, I know you wanna go far
So let me cut a deal, and I’ll make you a star
The life you’ve always dreamt of is at your fingertips
Oooo just sign this guitar.”
(Pre-chorus)
Doo doo doo da
Doo doo doo da
(Chorus)
So he wants to be the greatest
But he doesn’t know how
Just like everybody else
He wants an easy way out
So he wants to feel alive
Escape this misery
Sell his soul to the devil
And go down in history
(Solo)
(Pre-chorus)
Doo doo doo da
Doo doo doo da
(Chorus)
So he wants to be the greatest
But he doesn’t know how
Just like everybody else
He wants an easy way out
So he wants to feel alive
Escape this misery
Sell his soul to the devil
And go down in history
