Me and my baby, we had a big fight We ended our romance the same night In an angry mood, he walked out the door I said this song's going to an Aretha Franklin show Hey, Aretha, sing one for me Let him know our life's in misery Will you sing a song that will touch his heart And make him sorry that we are apart? I don't know if taking requests is part of your show Do me this favor and I'll love you forever Many romances have been saved by your sound You've touched so many lovers, so many times Yes, Aretha, sing one for me Let him know my life's in misery Will you sing a song that will touch his heart And make him sorry that we are apart? "Think" "Respect" "Call Me" "A Bridge Over Troubled Waters" And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You" Hey, Aretha, sing one for me Let him know I'm as miserable as a woman can be Sing a song and touch his heart So he'll be sorry that we are apart "Think" "Respect" "Call Me" "I Never Loved a Man Like I Love You" And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You"

Sometimes when I'm sitting on my bed Feeling so so lonely Wishing someone hold me All I have is three little notes playing in my head Outside I can cover all the scars Inside lie the words just pleading to be heard 'Cause all I have are three little melodies to kill all the hurt Now I'm ready gonna sing 'em all out Sing 'em out just to myself I don't even care what the world thinks about how I sound 'Cause when I open my mouth My whole heart comes out Every tear I wanna cry is satisfied I'm singing till I'm winning Imma sing all night 'Cause when I open my mouth There's no place to hide Everything that I've been feeling runs wild and free I'm singing 'cause I'm winning Imma sing for me I stand and believe in who I am Take shots at my heart but who am I to give up Everybody needs a melody to set their souls free My stage is the greatest in the world Give back to the ones who struggle with me stay true Reminding me to see my only chosen destiny And now I'm ready now I'm gonna sing it all out Sing it out just for myself I don't even care what the world thinks about how I sound 'Cause when I open my mouth My whole heart comes out Every tear I wanna cry is satisfied I'm singing till I'm winning Imma sing all night 'Cause when I open my mouth There's no place to hide Everything that I've been feeling runs wild and free I'm singing 'cause Im winning Imma sing for me Sing for me Sing for myself Sing with harmony Make my whole heart come out Right where I am let the rain come down Sing for me Sing for myself sing with harmony Make my whole heart come out Right here right now make my on very own sound 'Cause when I open my mouth My whole heart comes out Every tear I wanna cry is satisfied I'm singing till I'm winning Imma sing all night 'Cause when I open my mouth There's no place to hide Everything that I've been feeling runs wild and free I'm singing cause I'm winning Imma sing for me

She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. Into her heart, into her heart she's waiting. She told me I must hold onto the mo-oment. And when the moments over I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone And like a bird, yes like a bird, she'll fly away. She never said, she never said she'd stay here. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that ship to come. I cannot fight, I cannot fight the ocean, all alone (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. Now kiss me on, now kiss me on my broken wings. Don't leave me here, don't leave me in the water. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. And when the rain comes down I will be washed away. I hope, I hope we meet again. I want, I want to hold you again. I hope, I hope we meet again. I'll know, I'll know until the end. I'll be all aloooone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone.

The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air You know it's funny how the people say the world is changed, It's like: Saying that stranger's a kind of strange It's like: Saying that water is kind of wet It's like: Saying that Elvis is kind of dead It's evident to anyone with half a brain that things change, That's why books have more than one page, That's why, me and my grandfather aren't the same age, That's why New Kids On The Block thery're not rockin' on Triple-J But, the more things change, the more they stay the same Same old girls, same wars, same games Sure, there's climate change, and there's terrorists and AIDS But we used to have the nazis And now it's was way way way worse But things get bad, then get better, Before I started eating bree, I used to eat cheddar The world is always gonna change, only love stays the same, Like I say in the refrain The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air When I died, I got them to cryogenically freeze me Believe me, it cost four million, that's cheap To see the future, see infinity, I thought that I had proven the truth of man's divinity But I discovered, I was poor like a chimney sweep, The richest man is just a tramp in the scheme of things Up there in the future, it wasn't much fun, Just a bunch of frozen businessman dreaming of a refund "Gimme back my money" They were yellin', Calling for the manager They were used to those credit card advantages But MasterCard can't change the past, can it? No kind of plastic is worth shit on a dead planet The whole place was cold like you wouldn't believe Just dead rocks in a dried up sea Just like time gone by Just like five fuckin' billion BC The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air Instrumental The meek shall inherit the earth, they're fine Don't have to fight for that shit Just have to bide your time Keep quiet, don't write any rhymes if you can help it 'Cos I'm sure god favors the silent, not the violent, Maybe the vibrant, definitely firemen Maybe the prime mister if he sticks to his assignment To lead wisely and not be divisive And while I'm on the subject, God, can you make him bring back human rights All right, fine, this is not a diatribe Just an ordinary rhyme about extraordinary times Hey, digital natives, on the love super highway You come my way leave e-mails and just fly away How good's that? I guess it's not all bad Crap, shit, fuck! We can still make positive tracks, Cut them on wax, under the full moon, Bury 'em for a month, And deep fry that to make, to make beats fat Fatter in batter, that's my motto, Like Specto said: back to mono, before he went loco Chatter for chatters sake that's the game, So I write rhymes that don't nessecerely mean a thing Sometimes, but this time I write a rhyme I can't deny I lie awake at night and recite the diatribe I'm alive and inspired to write rhymes or die tryin'. The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air
