Standard (EADGBE)

Our day will come... and we'll have everything

We'll share the joy falling in love can bring

No one can tell me that I'm

Too young to know, I love you so,

 And you love me

Our day will come... if we just wait awhile

No tears for us; think love and wear a smile

Our dreams have magic because

We'll always stay in love this way

Our day......will...come

2. ‘BETWEEN THE CHEATS’

I would die before I divorce ya

 I'd take a thousand thumps for my love

 Cause you kissed a lucky horseshoe

 Stuck it in my boxing glove

 Does anyone who will listen up

 To our victories and dumb defeats

 Knows they all take you to the cleaners

 If you come Between the Cheats

Between the cheats, Between the cheats, Between the cheats

 My husband is the finest handsome hustler

 And he still makes this housewife blush

 So I go with him, my hand flicks

 I'm sitting on the royal flush

 Women drink him in, swim in him with green eyes

 Them go home and cash the chips you've got

 And here maybe two -oh two bottles of

 The jack of heart is my jackpot

Between the cheats, Between the cheats, Between the cheats

Cause we all have to lock eyes

 And I know is my heart beat

There's a winning secret to both

And it's sworn Between The Cheats

Between the cheats, Between the cheats, Between the cheats

3. ‘TEARS DRY’

All I can ever be to you, is the darkness we once knew,

 And this deep regret I got accustomed to

Once it felt so right, anticipation at its height,

Lived and waiting for you in the ho-tel late at night

 I knew I hadn't met my match, with every moment we get snatch

 I don't know why I let myself get so attached.

 It's my responsibility, and you don't owe nothing to me,

 But to cut myself off; I had no capacity.

He walks away; the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown

 And in your grey, in this cool shade,

 My tears dry on their own

I don't understand; why do I stress a man,

 When there's so many better things than him at hand?

 We could a never had it all; we had to hit a wall,

 So this is in-evitable withdrawal

 Even if I stop wanting you, a perspective pushes through,

 I'll be some next man's other woman soon

 I can't play myself again, I should just be my own best friend,

 Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

He walks away; the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown

 And in your grey, in this cool shade,

 My tears dry on their own

 I wish I could say no regrets, and no emotional debts,

 'Cos as we kiss good-bye the sun behind you sets

 So we are history; the shadow covers me,

 The sky above, a blaze that only lovers see

He walks away; the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown

 And in your grey, in this cool shade,

 My tears dry on their own

 Yeah, leave your grey to shade

 My tears dry on their own

4. ‘WAKE UP ALONE’ (DEMO)

It's okay in the day; I'm staying busy

Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he

 Got so sick of crying, so just lately;

 When I catch myself, I do a 1-80

I stay up clean the house; at least I'm not drinking

Run around just so I don't have to think a-bout thinking

 That silent sense of content that everyone gets,

Just disappears soon as the sun sets

This face in my dreams, seizes my guts;

He floods me with dread

Soaked in soul, he swims in my eyes, by the bed

Pour myself over him; moon spilling in,

And I wake up a-lone

If I was my heart, I'd rather be restless.

 The second I stop, the sleep catches up and I'm breathless.

 This ache in my chest, as my day is done now.

 The dark covers me and I cannot run now.

My blood running cold; I stand before him.

It's all I can do to as-sure him.

 When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight.

Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light.

This face in my dreams, seizes my guts;

He floods me with dread.

Soaked in soul, he swims in my eyes by the bed.

Pour myself over him; moon spilling in,

And I wake up alone.

And I wake up alone.

And I wake up alone.

And I wake up alone.

5. ‘WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW’

Tonight you're mine completely

You give your love... so sweetly

 Tonight, the light of love is in your eyes

But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure

Or just a moment's pleasure?

 Can I believe the magic of your sighs?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken

You say that I'm the only one

But will my heart be broken

 When the night meets the morning sun?

I have to know... that your love

Is a love I can ... be sure of,

So tell me now, and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

6. ‘VALERIE’ (DEMO)

 Well sometimes i go out by myself and i look across the water

 And I think of all the things,

 What you're doing and in my head i make a picture

 Cos since I’ve come on home, well my body's been a mess

 And I’ve missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress

 Won't you come on over stop making a fool out of me

 Why won't you come on over Valerie? Valerie?

Did you have to go to jail, put your house up for sale,

 Did you get a good lawyer?

I hope you didn’t catch a tan

 I hope you find the right man who'll fix it up for ya

Are you shopping' anywhere,

 Changed the colour of your hair , are you busy?

And did you have to pay the fine

 You were dodging all the time are you still dizzy

7. ‘LIKE SMOKE’

I never wanted you to be my man

I just need your company

Don't want to get dependent on

 Your time then lose the way you love me

Like smoke, I hung around in the unbalanced

Woah, ohhh!

It's not a movie, this is not a script or proofread

I'll spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies

Fun to punctuate, pronunciate the funds I make

 ? put in your face

Oh my mistake, you're not a flossy? Then excuse me

Before I talk, my style introduced me

Get your name and phone number like 1-2-3

Y'all know the story, y'all know the commentary

I kick the narrative, this is legendary

The Good Samaritan, hood thespian

 Like a polygamist, with a twist

Will I marry again? Maybe, I guess

I hold a lady's interest, I just met

The love scholar, she the teacher's pet

Every other eve we meet and make each other sweat

 I feel triumphant, no strings

Just a fling to have fun with

 I be out in London, Camden

 Hunting for the answers, why did God take away the homie?

I can't stand it

I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity

Just hope the big man show me some courtesy

Why? 'Cause I'm deemed a heart breaker

Like smoke, girls lean 'round a player

Yeah

I never wanted you to be my man

I just need your company

Don't want to get dependent on

 Your time then lose the way you love me

Like smoke, I hung around in the unbalanced

Woah, ohhh!

Yo, this recession is a test

It's affecting my complexion

Misdirection my affection

My concerns are bill collections

The facts is the taxes, they after me

Chapter three, my property

My handlers, they dealt with me improperly

I say some things I should probably keep privately

Evaluate the world bank trusts like I'm IEG

Those fly suites and my boojwazi

 Tall freak, she wouldn't protest with me at Wall Street

She says, no you're so deep

I said, no let's go through it

Historically so ruthless feds came for Joe Louis

She said, my man you need to laugh sometimes

Classify me as a whore, I tell her have some wine

You colder than penguin poo, ?

 She's thinking that's just so silly to say

But if you really think about it hussy

See a penguin; he drags his shit on the ground all day

And there's a dragon?

 I'm through with you after I crush, so is that humorous enough?

The smoke I puff

Tell the car to go to Aura, Funky Buddah, Whisky Mist on Mayfair

I hope I meet Monie Love so she can show me love

 NYC to UK I might stay there

 Everybody in the club tonight say, "Yeah"

 You know how me and Amy are, straight players

8. ‘THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA’

Tall and tanned and young and lovely

 The girl from Ipanema goes walking

 And when she passes, each one she passes goes - daboo-deedee-daa

When she walks, it’s like a samba

 That swings so cool and sways so gentle

 That when she passes, each one she passes goes - daboo-deedee-daa

Oh, how I watch her so sadly,

How can I tell her I love her?

Yea, I would give my heart gladly

 But each day, when she walks to the sea

 She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, and tanned and young and lovely

 The girl from Ipanema goes walking

 And when she passes, I go: deedeedeedeedeedeeboodeedeedoo

babadudeedeebadubaa The girl, the girl, the girl

From Ipanema, from Ipanema... weeweeweewee deedee bababudeedee baduba

Lalala, lalada, dadada dadada shee badoobe ooo

Oh, yea I want her so badly,

How can I tell her I love her?

Yea, I would give my heart gladly

 But each day, when she walks to the sea

 She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, and tanned and young and lovely

 The girl from Ipanema goes walking

 And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn’t see

She ain't looking at me

9. ‘HALFTIME’

Sim - ple sweet gui - tar

Humbled by the bass

 So when the beat kicks in

Everything falls into place

And it over powers me

I can't help but dance

You can try to stop me now

Boy you won't get the chance

Half time, time to think it through

Consider the chance

Seek it from a different view

Half time, time to think it through

Consider the chance

Rhy - thm floods my heart

 The melody it feeds my soul

The tune tears me apart

And it swallows me whole

You should thank your lucky stars

'Cause the music is a gift

 And it's stronger than all else

Provides me with up lift

My lyrics revealing

Some natural vibe

It's a kind of laid back feeling

Oh just let it ride

And when Frank Sinatra sings

It's too much to take, yeah

 So I sing the standard shit

It pacifies my ache

10. ‘BEST FRIENDS’

I can't wait to get away from you,

And surprisingly, you hate me too.

We only communi-cate when we need to fight,

But we are best friends...right?

 You're too good at pretending you don't care,

There's enough resentment in the air.

 Now you don't want me in the flat when you're home at night,

But we're best friends, right?

You're Stephanie, and I'm Paulette;

You know what all my faces mean.

And it's easy to smoke it up; forget,

Everything that happened in between.

Nicky’s right, when he says I can't win,

 So I don't wanna tell you any-thing.

I can't even think about how you feel in-side,

But we're best friends right?

I don't like the way you say my name,

 You're always looking for someone to blame.

Now you want me to suffer, just 'cos you were born white,

But we're best friends right?

 So I had love for you, when I was four,

 And there's no one I wanna smoke with more.

 Some-day I'll buy the Rizla, so you get the draw.

'Cos we are best friends, right, right, right, right?

 Be-cause we are best friends, right?

 Be-cause we are best friends, right?

11. ‘BODY AND SOUL’

My heart is sad and lonely

For you I sigh, for you dear only

(b5) /9+ (b9)

Why haven't you seen it?

I'm all for you body and soul

It looks like the ending

/9 G#7M

Unless I could have one more chance to prove

You know that I'm yours

for just the taking

I'd gladly surrender

myself to you body and soul

12. ‘A SONG FOR YOU’

I`ve been so many places in my life and time,

I`ve sung a lot of songs, I`ve made some bad rhyme,

 I`ve acted out my love in stages, with ten thousand people watching,

but we`re alone now, and I`m singing this song to you.

I know your image of me is what I hope to be,

I treated you unkindly, but darlin` can`t you see,

 There`s no one more important to me, darlin` can`t you please see through me,

Cus we`re alone now and I`m singing this song to you.

You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing,

You came out in front and I was hiding,

 But now I`m so much better, and if my words don`t come together,

Listen to the melody, cause my love`s in there hiding.

I love you in a place where there`s no space and time,

I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine,

And when my life is over, re-member when we were to-gether,

We were alone and I was singing this song to you.

I love you in a place where there`s no space and time,

I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine,

And when my life is over, re-member when we were to-gether,

We were alone and I was singing this song to you.

We were alone and I was singing this song to you.

We were alone and I was singing my song

 singin this song to you.
