Pussy Cat Dolls- How Many Times, How Many Lies

~*How Many Times, How Many Lies*~

They were tryin' to tell me something 

Oh, but I was hearing nothing when they said you was just playin' me 

I didn't listen, I didn't want to 

You couldn't find a blinder fool 

I'm here, searching through the wreckage 

Wonderin' why the message never got through 

And I found I misplaced all my faith 

How could I put my faith in you? 

How many times? How many lies? 

How long you been sneaking? 

How long you been creeping around? 

How many lies? How many times? 

Were you here deceiving 

When I was here believing in you? 

I got to put the blame on myself 

Should've known what everyone else 

Soon they knew you was just bad news 

I should've walked out 

(Should've walked out) 

I should've stayed clear 

(Should've stayed clear) 

Glad your sad ass is out of here 

I've gone and thrown out all the records 

All the ones that ever reminded me of you 

I've gone and tore up all the pictures 

'Cause there was not one shred of truth, oh 

How many times? How many lies? 

How long you been sneaking? 

How long you been creeping around? 

How many lies? How many times? 

Were you here deceiving 

When I was here believing in you? 

There were so many times, there were so many lies 

I don't know why I stayed on you 

There were so many days, there were so many games 

I should've thrown your sad ass out 

But now the game is through, I'll never trust in you 

I've finally got wise, I opened up my eyes, your game is over 

I've gone and thrown out all the records 

All the ones that ever reminded me of you 

I've gone and tore up all the pictures 

'Cause there was not one shred of truth, no, no, no 

How many times? How many lies? 

How long you been sneaking? 

How long you been creeping around? 

Come on, tell me, how many lies? How many times? 

Were you here deceiving 

When I was here believing in you? 

How many times? How many lies? 

How long you been sneaking? 

How long you been creeping around? 

Come on, tell me, how many lies? How many times? 

Were you here deceiving 

When I was here believing in you? 

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I opened up my eyes 

Oh, oh, yeah

Pussy Cat Dolls- Elevator

~*Elevator*~

If we could stop fightin' each other 

Long enough for us to see that, see that, see that 

That we are stronger together than separate 

You gotta believe that, 'lieve that, 'lieve that 

But you love me today, don't want me 'round tomorrow 

Every time you change your mind, I follow 

Caught up, fall up in your maze and I'm so dizzy, babe 

Can't keep goin' back and forth on these waves 

I'm gettin' sea sick, sea sick, sea sick 

Like the way we were before 

And I wanna know if we can go 

Back to the days when we was close 

'Cos sometimes I think I'm solo 

Think you don't want me no more 

And I gotta get up off this seesaw 

We're like an elevator 

We go up and we go down 

Down, down, like an elevator 

We touch the sky and touch the ground 

Ground, ground, like an elevator 

You stuck on one while I'm pressin' three 

Then we get up on the fourth floor 

But then we disagree and you keep on blamin' me 

But I wish that you would see 

That I'm just tryna elevate ya like an elevator 

Take you higher, t-t-take you higher 

That I'm just tryna elevate ya like an elevator 

Take you higher, t-t-take you higher 

That I'm just tryna elevate ya like an elevator 

And I feel like we speakin' two different languages 

It's hard to read ya, read ya, read ya 

But I know if you at least try to make it half way 

I swear that I'll meet ya, meet ya, meet ya 

But we can't have a conversation without beefin' 

Yellin' back and forth for no good reason 

I won't let you leave and you keep askin' me to stay 

One of us better figure out what we want 

'Cos I'm gettin' a headache, headache, headache 

Like the way we were before 

And I wanna know if we can go 

Back to the days when we was close 

'Cos sometimes I think I'm solo 

Think you don't want me no more 

And I gotta get up off this seesaw 

We're like an elevator 

We go up and we go down 

Down, down, like an elevator 

We touch the sky and touch the ground 

Ground, ground, like an elevator 

You stuck on one while I'm pressin' three 

Then we get up on the fourth floor 

But then we disagree and you keep on blamin' me 

But I wish that you would see 

That I'm just tryna elevate ya like an elevator 

Oh, if there's any man who understand what I'm sayin' 

Won't you help me say yeah, yeah, yeah? 

Oh, there gotta be some women who feelin' the way I'm feelin' 

Say yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'll take the blame if that'll make this go stop 

I'll hope for you if we can make it to the top 

But we gotta find a way to break down these walls, baby 

I'm waitin' on you, stop waitin' on me, damn this elevator 

We go up and we go down 

Down, down, like an elevator 

We touch the sky and touch the ground 

Ground, ground, like an elevator 

You stuck on one while I'm pressin' three 

Then we get up on the fourth floor 

But then we disagree and you keep on blamin' me 

But I wish that you would see 

That I'm just tryna elevate ya like an elevator 

Take you higher, t-t-take you higher 

That I'm just tryna elevate ya like an elevator 

Take you higher, t-t-take you higher 

That I'm just tryna elevate ya like an elevator

Beyonce- Ring The Alarm [B'Day]

~*Ring The Alarm*~

Ring the alarm, I been through this too long 

But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm 

Won't you ring the alarm, I been through this too long 

But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm 

She gon' be rockin' chinchilla coats, if I let you go 

Hit in the house off the coast, if I let you go 

She gon' take everything I own, if I let you go 

I can't let you go, damn, if I let you go 

She gon' rock them VVS stones, if I let you go 

In the 'Bach or the Rolls, if I let you go 

She gon' profit everything I taught, if I let you go 

I can't let you go, damn, if I let you go 

Tell me how should I feel when I know what I know 

And my female intuition tellin' me you a dog 

People told me 'bout the flames I couldn't see through the smoke 

When I need answers, accusations what you mean you gon' choke 

You can't stay, you gotta go 

Ain't no other chick spendin' your dough 

This is taking a toll, the way the story unfolds 

Not the picture perfect movie everyone would've saw 

She gon' be rockin' chinchilla coats, if I let you go 

Hit in the house off the coast, if I let you go 

She gon' take everything I own, if I let you go 

I can't let you go, damn, if I let you go 

She gon' rock them VVS stones, if I let you go 

In the 'Bach or the Rolls, if I let you go 

She gon' profit everything I taught, if I let you go 

I can't let you go, damn, if I let you go 

Ring the alarm, I been through this too long 

But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm 

Won't you ring the alarm, I been through this too long 

But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm 

Tell me how should I feel when you made me belong 

And the thought of you just touchin' her is what I hate most 

I don't want you, but I want it and I can't let it go 

To know you give it to her like you gave it to me, come on 

He's so arrogant and bold 

But she gon' love that shit, I know 

I done put in a call, time to ring the alarm 

'Cause you ain't never seen a fire like the one I'ma 'cause 

She gon' be rockin' chinchilla coats, if I let you go 

Hit in the house off the coast, if I let you go 

She gon' take everything I own, if I let you go 

I can't let you go, damn, if I let you go 

She gon' rock them VVS stones, if I let you go 

In the 'Bach or the Rolls, if I let you go 

She gon' profit everything I taught, if I let you go 

I can't let you go, damn, if I let you go 

Ooh, how can you look at me 

And not see all the things that I kept only just for you 

Ooh, why would you risk it babe 

Is that the price that I pay, ooh 

But this is my show, and I won't let you go 

All it's been paid for, and it's mine 

How could you look at me 

And not see all the things 

She gon' be rockin' chinchilla coats, if I let you go 

Hit in the house off the coast, if I let you go 

She gon' take everything I own, if I let you go 

I can't let you go, damn, if I let you go 

She gon' rock them VVS stones, if I let you go 

In the 'Bach or the Rolls, if I let you go 

She gon' profit everything I taught, if I let you go 

I can't let you go, damn, if I let you go

Rihanna- Good Girl Gone Bad [Good Girl Gone Bad]

~*Good Girl Gone Bad*~

We stay moving around, solo 

Ask us where you at, we don't know 

And don't care (don't care) 

All we know is we was at home cause you left us there 

You got your boys and got gone 

And left us all alone 

Now she in the club with a freaky dress on 

Cats don't want her to keep that dress on 

Trying to get enough drinks in her system 

Take it to the tele and make her a victim 

Patron on brain, ball play you in the face 

They shake the spot, she's just another case 

[Chorus] 

Easy for a good girl to go bad 

And once we gone (gone) 

Best believe we've gone forever 

Don't be the reason 

Don't be the reason 

You better learn how to treat us right 

'Cause once a good girl goes bad 

We gone forever 

He's staying with a flock of them, oh, yeah 

Got a girl at home but he don't care 

Won't care (won't care) 

All he'll do is keep me at home, won't let me go nowhere 

He thinks because I'm at home I won't be getting it on 

And now I'm finding numbers in the jacket pockets 

Chicks calling the house, non stop 

Its getting out of control 

Finally I can't take no more 

He finds a letter on the stairs, saying this is the end 

I packed my bag and left with your best friend Oh! 

[Chorus] 

We stay moving around, solo 

Ask us where you at, we don't know 

And don't care (don't care) 

All we know is we was at home cause you left us there 

You got your boys and got gone 

And left us all alone 

[Chorus] 

We're gone forever 

We're gone forever

~*Give It Up To Me*~

(feat. Lil' Wayne)

How you doin'? I'm Mr. Mos I'm back
Timb, are you on it?
Timb, are you on it?
Give me some
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted? Oh

Uh, Wayne's world
I'm the cashier I change girls
You can go up my crane girl
And I'mma go down that drain girl

Hey ah midnight cowboy
My flow's a dog, down boy
Hah, my girl is a queen
And she do what I say and I say what I mean

Then I give it to her uncut
Shakira, swing those hips like nun chucks
Now, give it to me
I want the best and the best things in life are free

You can have it all
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me

Nothing too big or small
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me

What you get is exactly what you give
Never really know until you try
We're so ahead of this

Got this she wolf appetite
That keeps me up all night
You know the way it works
Don't be afraid to ask

Aim high when the target is low
FYI, I am ready to go
People say men are just like kids
Never saw a kid behave like this

What you give is exactly what you receive
So put me in a cage and lock me away
And I'll play the games that you want me to play

You can have it all
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me

Nothing too big or small
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me

Hey, can we go by walking
Or do you prefer to fly?
All of the roads are open
In your mind, in your life
Give it up to me

Hey can we go by walking
Or do you prefer to fly?
All of the roads are open
In your life, in your life
Give it up to me

Hey lil' lady
What's your plan?
Say lil' mama
Come take a ride jump in

Hey there, baby
What's on your mind?
Don't need approval tonight, tonight
Give it up

You can have it all
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me

Nothing too big or small
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me

You can have it all
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me

Nothing too big or small
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me

Take off all of your skin
And brave when you are free
Shake off all of your sins
And give them to me
Close up, let me back in
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats

We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo

I will follow you down wherever you go

Closer, pull me in tight
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats

We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe

Welcome to the final edge
And I'm gonna fall
I'm just gonna raise my head
And hold you close

Like the empires of the world unite
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Hoooooo hoooooo

Take a left to compassion (lights will be flashing') 

Keep straight and you'll see the sign right there 

Affection (You're in the wrong direction) 

If I get caught see it just seems that you don't care

Acting like I'm not nobody 

You gon' make me call somebody
