Bette Davis Eyes (live)

Her hair is Harlowe gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo stand off sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you, when she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

Better Off

I live down the street in a broken down house
And a car up on blocks in the driveway
The moment we meet there was never a doubt
That we won?t forget this Sunday
It starts with a smile and a walk in miles
And it all leads to this - our first kiss

All my friends are saying
Girl what are you thinking
You?re better off, you?re better off without him.
Find yourself another
Girl, that boy is trouble
You?re better off, you?re better off
They can talk forever, they just don?t know better.

We drive around town in a rusty old truck
Somehow it feels like we?re flying
Don?t wanna come down
But they make it so tough
Just everyone we know is trying
To push us apart hidden down in our hearts
And they get what they want cause you're gone

All my friends are saying
Girl why are you crying
You?re better off, you?re better off without him.
Find yourself another
Girl, that boy is trouble
You?re better off, you?re better off
They can talk forever, they just don?t know better.

You come to my door
In the pouring rain
We know what we don?t have to say
You hand me a rose and a note that says
We don?t have to do things their way

All my friends are saying
Girl what are you thinking
You?re better off, you?re better off without him.
Find yourself another
Girl, that boy is trouble
You?re better off, you?re better off
They can talk forever, they just don?t know better.

Better Than Revenge

Oh Brandon how could you be such a jerk?
You say you love me but you treat me like a piece of dirt.
I couldve loved you till the day that I died
Stare in thoughs beautiful eyes and enjoy your smile.
But then that day
The day my feelings started to go fade to gray.
When I saw you on the street making out with my best friend.
I kn-kn-knew it had to be do-done.

[Chorus]
You cheated on me
You broke my heart
How did I ever belive you?
So I killed you and it was Better than revenge!

So you might ask of a girl like me
How did I kill that hunk so easily?
Well Brandon is the type who lets his weakness show
I took a baseball bat to his thro-ooh-oat.
And in his last breath he said
I never meant to hurt you
But to me he was dead
The moment that I saw him cheating

[Chorus]
You cheated on me
You broke my heart
How did I ever belive you?
So I killed you and it was Better than revenge!

Woah-oh-oh-oh
Revenge is sweet
Woah-oh-oh-oh
But its never good enough for me

Well Brandon he had it coming
Sure he was charming and good looking
But he was just like every other guy who would make me cry.
So I did what I had to do
No matter the cost

He cheated on me
He broke my heart
How did I ever belive you?
So I killed him and it was
Better than revenge

Oh oh oh
So much better than revenge
Yeah yeah yeah

Better than revenge

Oooh oh

Blank Spaces

Nice to meet you
Where you've been?
I can show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sins
Saw you there and I thought oh my god
Look at that face, you look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny rumors fly
And I know you've heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
And I will see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a longless, drivers, lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far and leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a longless, drivers, lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips
Crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Slowly kisses, pretty lies
You're the kink baby I'm your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
But the worst is yet to come
Oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I could make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like oh my god
Who is she? I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a longless, drivers, lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far and leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a longless, drivers, lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space baby
And I'll write your name

Boy there's only one love
If it's torture
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you
Boy it's only one love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a longless, drivers, lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far and leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a longless, drivers, lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space baby
And I'll write your name

Breathe

I see your face in my mind as I drive away
'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way
People are people and sometimes we change our minds
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie
It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see
'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down
Now I don't know what to be without you around

And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

And I can't breathe
Without you, but I have to
Breathe
Without you, but I have to

Never wanted this, never want to see you hurt
Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve
People are people and sometimes it doesn't work out
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out

And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

And I can't breathe
Without you, but I have to
Breathe
Without you, but I have to

It's two a.m., feelin' like I just lost a friend
Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me
It's two a.m., feelin' like I just lost a friend
Hope you know this ain't easy, easy for me

And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me, oh

I can't breathe
Without you, but I have to
Breathe
Without you, but I have to
Breathe
Without you, but I have to

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Breathless

Last night, all smiles, we were holding hands.
And now you, wont share the bed with me,
Explain if you can.

We may not agree on this, but lets not fight.
Because who cares who is wrong or right? i
Feel like i can't breathe like this--your
Grip is too tight.

Taken by surprise, because i felt so secure.
Because all the things, that you've done,
Have let me wondering.

We may not agree on this, but lets not fight.
Because who cares who is wrong or right? i
Feel like i can't breathe like this--your
Grip is too tight.

You leave me breathless with your words

We can say that we've changed, together,
Another day--give me your hand, let me
Explain, because i've come to terms with
Who you are.

We may not agree on this, but lets not fight.
Because who cares who is wrong or right? i
Feel like i can't breathe like this-your grip
Is too tight--let's not fight. your grip is too,
Is too--tight.

You leave me breathless with your words.

Brought Up That Way

Emily comes home from school,
grabs onto her daddy's hand,
he says "baby girl what's wrong with you?"
she says "please don't make me go back there again"

She said "I wish there was some way
to make them stop it"
so he drives down to
that principle's ofice and says

"I didn't bring her up
so they could cut her down
I didn't bring her here
so they could shut her out
I live my whole damn life
to see that little girl's smile
so why are tears pouring down
that sweet face?
she wasn't brought up that way"

Emily's home late again
he sees that boy drive away
oh, but something different this time,
she doesn't have too much to say
she said "he tried but
there's just some things I won't do"
and through the tears
she said "I couldn't do that to you"
and he said
"I didn't bring you up
so he could wear
you down
take that innocent heart
and turn it inside out
I live my whole damn life
to see my little girl's smile
so don't let nobody take that away,
you weren't brought up that way"

The phone rings on a rainy night
says "it's Officer Tate"
he said "sir, there's been an accident,
you better come down here right away,
a drunken driver missed an overpass,
and Emily, she's fading fast"
he says "God,I didn't bring her up
to watch them lay her down
nearly killed me the day
they put her
momma in the ground
only thing that kept me alive,
was that little girl's smile
so please don't take that away,
I won't be easy taking her today,
she wasn't brought up that way"

He stands over the hospital bed
Emily opens her eyes

Busted

Well, I saw the things you were doing at the VMAs
And when I got that video award, you took the mic away
Now, I'll try to call security with every step I take
And nothing will even stop with all the music that I ever make

Don't think you're gonna win this time
'Cause you better believe that you're not what you do
I'll get ya! (yeah)
I'll get ya! (yeah)
And when I do, Kanye you'll be busted

I don't wanna be mean to you
But you better believe me when I tell you that
You are never what you do
You're busted. (Busted!)
Yeah, everybody makes mistakes
But, this is how it's gonna be until you apologize on the VMAs
You're busted!

By The Way

I had to catch my breath
When I saw you there across the room
Holdin her hand
I?d have never guessed
That starting over would look so good on you
But here I am
Still believing there might come a day
We?ll pick up where we left off

And by the way
Your eyes are dancing
I?ll say the chances of that
Are getting slim
And by the way
My hearts still breaking
It?s going take it a while
To love again
So many things that I forgot to say
By the way

I should?ve let you know
All the way?s you made me feel alive
I guess it?s too late
So I?ll just get my coat
And make my way into this breezy night
Give you one last wave
Maybe you?ll drop what you?re doing
And come over here and say
I?m looking good

And by the way
Your eyes are dancing
I?ll say the chances of that
Are getting slim
And by the way
My hearts still breaking
It?s going take it a while
To love again
So many things that I forgot to say

By the way
You still look amazing
And I must have been crazy
To let you get away
By the way
If you ever wondered
Still got the same old number
Just in case
I still miss you
And I still love you
By the way
By the way oh

Can I Go With You

Any day now
They're talking war
I can see the look
That's in your eyes
They're not talkin
A week or two
Oh, daddy
Can I go with you?
Oh, daddy
Can I go with you?

You pack a suitcase
And take a picture
From the wall
I always knew
This time would come
When I ask how long
You think
You're gonna be
You say
"Eh, this crazy world's
Come undone"

Summer's over
And leaves begin
To fall
And another winter's
On the way
I knew
I wasn't gonna take
This very well
But I'd give everything
To have you here today

Everyday now
They're talking war
I know
This time has been
Like it's never
Been before
We're not talking
About a week or two
Oh, daddy
Can I go with you?
Oh, daddy
Can I go with you?
Oh, daddy
Can I go with you?
