Valerie.

Valerie Lyric

Well sometimes I go out by myself
and I look across the water
and I think of all the things
why'd you do it
and in my head I paint a picture

Cos Since I come on home,
well my body's been a mess
and I miss your ginger hair
and the way you like to dress

Won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie

Did you have to go to jail
put your house on up out for sale
did you get a good lawyer
hope you didn't catch a tan
hope you find the right man who’ll fix it for you

Are you shopping anywhere
changed the colour of your hair
are you busy
did you have to pay that fine
you was dodging all the time
are you still dizzy

Since I come home,
well my body's been a mess
and I miss your ginger hair
and the way you like to dress

Won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie

But sometimes I go out by myself
and I look across the water
and I think of all the things
why'd you do it
and in my head I paint a picture

Since I come home,
well my body's been a mess
and I miss your ginger hair
and the way you like to dress

Won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie

Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, Valerie

Why don't you come on over Valerie..

Sex on fire By Kings of Leon

Sex On Fire lyrics

Lay where you're laying, don't make a sound
I know they're watching, they're watching
All the commotion, the kiddie like play
Has people talking, talking

You, your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley, the breaking of day
The head while I'm driving, I'm driving
Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying, you're dying

You, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest

You, your sex is on fire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

Human By The Killers

Human By The Killers

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart...
Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've gotta let me go

CHORUS

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer

You've gotta let me know

CHORUS

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Make it mine

Make it mine By Jason Mraz

Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the dreamer is the real you
Listen to your voice
The one that tells you
to taste past the tip of
your tongue
Leap and the net will appear

I don't wanna wake before
The dream is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I... I want to own it
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Requesting that it's lifting you up
Up up and away
And over to a table at
the graditude cafe

And I am finally there
And all the angels they'll be singing
Ah la la la I la la la
I la la la la love this

Well I don't wanna break before
The tour is over
I'm gonna make it mine
That's fine...I want to own it
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

And timing's everything
And this time there's plenty
I am balancing
Careful and steady
And reveling in energy that
everyone's emitting

I don't wanna wait no more
Oh, I wanna celebrate the whole world
I'm gonna make it mine
Because I'm following your joy
I'm gonna make it mine
Because I... I am open
I'm gonna make it mine
That's why... I'm wanna show it
I'm gonna make it mine
gonna make gonna make gonna make it
make it mine
It's mine...
It's mine...
ahhhhhh mine Yes I will make it all make it all mine
