Girls Aloud Album

(M. Cooper, B. Higgins, L. Cowling, J. Shave, T. Cowling)

If it's not you, oh no, I won't do that
You'll have to wait for me and that is that

Should've known, should've cared
Should've hung around the kitchen in my underwear
Acting like a lady
You should've made me, oh
Should've jumped a little higher
Should've fluttered my mascara like a butterfly
Instead of being lazy
It would've saved me

Should've known, should've cared
Should've hung around the kitchen in my underwear
Acting like a lady
You should've made me, oh
Should've jumped a little higher
Should've flown around the sky
Like a butterfly
Instead of being lazy
It would've saved me

Someone saved my heart today
When someone turned the light back on
It's ever since you went away
It otherwise just feels so wrong

That special something, that they are hunting
They're always wanting, more and more
That special something, that they are hunting
They're always wanting, more and more

Nobody sees the show
Until my heart says so
If it's not you, oh no
I won't do that
Boy if you want to be my speciality
You'll have to wait for me and that is that

I won't (ooh) unless you want me (to)
I want (you), get in the queue
I won't (ooh) unless you want me (to)
I want (you), get in the queue

That special something, that they are hunting
They're always wanting, more and more
That special something, that they are hunting
They're always wanting, more and more

Nobody sees the show
Until my heart says so
If it's not you, oh no
I won't do that
Boy if you want to be my speciality
You'll have to wait for me and that is that

Nobody sees the show
Until my heart says so
If it's not you, oh no
I won't do that
Boy if you want to be my speciality
You'll have to wait for me and that is that

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Never made me now
Come and save me now
Should've made me now
Come and save me now

Should've known, should've cared
Should've hung around the kitchen in my underwear
Acting like a lady
You should've made me, oh
Should've jumped a little higher
Should've fluttered my mascara like a butterfly
Instead of being lazy
It would've saved me

Should've known, should've cared
Should've hung around the kitchen in my underwear
Acting like a lady
(Never made me now)
You should've made me, oh
(Come and save me now)
Should've jumped a little higher
Should've fluttered my mascara like a butterfly
Instead of being lazy
(Should've made me now)
It would've saved me
(Come and save me now)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

(M. Cooper, B. Higgins, T. Powell, N. Cowler, L. Cowling, M. Boyle, S. Lee)

Ladies you're damn right
You can't read a man's mind
We're living in two tribes
And heading for war
Nobody's perfect
We all gotta work it
But fellas, we're worth it
So don't break the law

Your call's late, big mistake
You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time, read my mind and I'll be good to you
We're gift-wrapped kitty cats
We're only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back
Let's go, Eskimo
Out into the blue

Come take my hand
Understand that you can
You're my man and I need you tonight
Come make my dreams
Honey hard as it seems
Loving me is as easy as pie, I

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
And I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
Instead of this negligee
What will the neighbours say
This time

I've been going crazy while you sleep
Searching for a language
That the two of us can speak so
Whistle through your story, make it real
And I'll breathe underwater '
'Cos I like the way it feels

Your call's late, big mistake
You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time, read my mind and I'll be good to you
We're gift-wrapped kitty cats
We're only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back
Let's go, Eskimo
Out into the blue

Come take my hand
Understand that you can
You're my man and I need you tonight
Come make my dreams
Honey hard as it seems
Loving me is as easy as pie, I

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
And I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
Instead of this negligee
What will the neighbours say
This time

Oh, it's very new
Can anybody tell me what to do?
Oh, this feeling's very strange
Can anybody tell me what's you're game?

(Oh) A little education
(Oh) To give you motivation
(Oh) Whatever situation
(Oh) 'Cos I don't wanna change ya
(Oh) I'm living with a stranger
(Oh) I'll only re-arrange ya

(Oh) I'm just a Love Machine
(0h) To give you motivation
(Oh) I'm just a Love Machine
(Ooh, ooh)
(Oh) I'm just a Love Machine
(0h) To give you motivation
(Oh) I'm just a Love Machine
(Oh, oh, oh)

(C. Hynde, T. Kelly, B. Steinberg)

Oh,
Why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me you love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when
When the night falls on you baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you
(I'll stand by you)
I'll stand by you
(I'll stand by you)
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
(I'll stand by you)
(I'll stand by you)
(Take me into your darkest hour)
Won't let nobody hurt you
(I'll stand by you)
(I'll stand by you)

(S. C. Mitchell, M. V. Sharron, G. P. Skardina)

Your eyes tell me how you want me
Can feel it in your heart beat
I know you like what you see
Hold me, I'll give all that you need
Wrap your love around me
You're so excited, I can feel you
Getting hotter, oh baby
I'll take you down, I'll take you down
Where no one's ever gone before

And if you want more, if you want more
More, more, then

Jump for my love
Jump in and feel my touch
Jump you want to taste my kisses
In the night then

Jump, jump for my love
Jump, I know my heart can make you happy
Jump in, you know these arms
Can feel you up
Jump, you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love

You told me, I'm the only woman for you
Nobody does you like I do
Then make a move before you try and
Go much farther, oh baby
You're the one, you are the one
And heaven waits here at my door

And if you want more
If you want more, more, more then

Jump for my love
Jump in and feel my touch
Jump you want to taste my kisses
In the night then

Jump, jump for my love
Jump, I know my heart can make you happy
Jump in, you know these arms
Can feel you up
Jump, you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love

When you are next to me, oh I come alive
Your love burns inside
Oh it eels so right
Come to me if you want me tonight, jump

I know my heart can make you happy
Jump in, you know these arms
Can feel you up
Jump, you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love

(M. Cooper, B. Higgins, T. Powell, S. Lee, L. Cowling, P. Woods, Y. Marue)

Wake me up before I drop out on you
You treat me rough to show that you care
And I just can't refuse baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my bed
Instead I'll be subdued
Wake me up before I drop out on you
The TV lights is working all right
It feels so good to lose baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my head
Instead I'm so confused

Let's sift through the haze of the past seven days
Blow your mind
A bubble bath
Monday looks divine
Let's trip through the maze
Away from everybody's games
If I stop grip on
A sugar dip
I guess I'm getting mine

Was it just the margaritas or are you lookin' at me?
Without a fuss you're getting us
Ever so slightly messed up
Is it just the margaritas or are you talkin' to me?
Feels like I'm back at school
Makes me wanna break the rules

Wake me up before I drop out on you
You treat me rough to show that you care
And I just can't refuse baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my bed
Instead I'll be subdued
Wake me up before I drop out on you
The TV lights is working all right
It feels so good to lose baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my head
Instead I'm so confused

Always feel we're fighting a war
Always thought that you were so cool
Now I realise you've been shared
I think you're off your head

Dressed up and put on my make up
My best face just for you
I'm sad to hear that you feel sugar
Now you know what I can do

Don't waste your time
(Don't waste your time)
You know my passion is to yours of mine
Just read the signs
(Just read the signs)
Your passion belongs to me
My feel tonight

Wake me up before I drop out on you
You treat me rough to show that you care
And I just can't refuse baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my bed
Instead I'll be subdued
Wake me up before I drop out on you
The TV lights is working all right
It feels so good to lose baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my head
Instead I'm so confused

(Don't waste your time)
(Don't waste your time)
(Just read the signs)

(M. Cooper, B. Higgins, M. Gray)

It's 3am and you still look gorgeous
My morning-after feeling's kicking in
I hate to say but I'm feeling nauseous
I put that down to too much gin

I'm cool until reality
Hits me in the face and drops a phone in the tea and
You left no number
Left your wedding ring
There's nothing left to do but kick back and sing

I've seen it before
I'll see it again
A never ending story of
Deadlines, diets, and devious men

Now just when things are going groovy
I see the rain clouds coming in
Wham-bam my life simply says don't movie
But as I'm going down ill grin

I'm cool until reality
Hits me in the face and drops a phone in the tea and
You left no number
Left your wedding ring
There's nothing left to do but kick back and sing

I've seen it before
I'll see it again
A never ending story of
Deadlines, diets, and devious men

I've seen it before (yeah)
I'll see it again
A never ending story of
Deadlines, diets, and devious men

I'm cool until reality
Hits me in the face and drops a phone in the tea and
You left no number
Left your wedding ring
There's nothing left to do but kick back and sing

I've seen it before
I'll see it again
A never ending story of
Deadlines, diets, and devious men

I've seen it before (yeah)
I'll see it again
A never ending story of
Deadlines, diets, and devious men

I've seen it before (yeah)
I'll see it again
A never ending story of
Deadlines, diets, and devious men

I've seen it before (yeah)
I'll see it again
A never ending story of
Deadlines, diets, and devious men

(M. Cooper, B. Higgins, T. Larcombe, L. Cowling, Girls Aloud)

Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh
Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh

I think about you baby every night
Oh, it feels so good
It's got to be alright
And darling I don't even know your name
Oh, it's good, it's good I like it that way

Close up, rewind, you're in my mind
One touch, too far
Eyes meet so sweet in the dark

Big brother's watching me
And I don't really mind
I like him, watching me
Watch him watch life
There's nothing he can see
And not much he won't find
He likes me
Watching him watch me all night

I like the way you're messing with my head
Oh, it feels so good I'm shaking in my bed
And baby don't you think I know your game
Oh, it's good, it's good
I know you feel the same

Close up, rewind, you're in my mind
One touch, too far
Eyes meet so sweet in the dark

Big brother's watching me
And I don't really mind
I like him, watching me
Watch him watch life
There's nothing he can see
And not much he won't find
He likes me
Watching him watch me all night

If I'm confused and dazed
And it's a crazy day
I wanna know you care
And when I'm home at night and Mr Lonely bites
I wanna know you're there

Big brother's watching me
And I don't really mind
I like him, watching me
Watch him watch life
There's nothing he can see
And not much he won't find
He likes me
Watching him watch me all night

(Xenomania)

I was drowning in the rain
Getting lost beneath the downpour
Trying to shield a dying flame, oh
Nearly lost what I had come for

But somewhere in my heart
A little gold was working its way out
And made a star to guide me on my way
Somewhere deep inside
I remembered what it's all about
I took my time
But now I think I'll have my say. oh

Hear me out
I've done my running believe me
Without a doubt
I'll no longer take the blame
Hear me out
My heart is broken and bleeding
But it's beating
No other man alive
Is gonna leave me in the rain

I know
(I was lost but now I'm found)
As the rain pours down the window
(And I've turned my life around)
I'll no longer hear the wind blow
No more dramas
Smeared mascara on my pillow

Now I can see which way I'm going
Follow my heart that's what they say
Never too small can't stop me growing
Taking the world on day by day
Follow the way the wind is blowing
Free to explore and find my way
I'll take all the stuff that life is throwing
This is the chance to have my say, yeah

Hear me out
I've done my running believe me
Without a doubt
I'll no longer take the blame
Hear me out
My heart is broken and bleeding
But it's beating
No other man alive
Is gonna leave me in the rain

Hear me out
I've done my running believe me
Without a doubt
I'll no longer take the blame
Hear me out
My heart is broken and bleeding
But it's beating
No other man alive
Is gonna leave me in the rain

I know
(I was lost but now I'm found)
As the rain pours down the window
(And I've turned my life around)
I'll no longer hear the wind blow
No more dramas
Smeared mascara on my pillow

I know
I know

(M. Cooper, B. Higgins, L. Cowling, Peblab, T. Powell)

Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fistful of love that's coming your way baby
Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fistful of love that's coming your way baby
Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fistful of love that's coming your way baby

I'm hanging on a wire
Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fistful of love that's coming your way baby
Come baby, come you know what I mean
And the drum beats rising higher
Bang goes my self control
I've got your name on my face
Your face on my mind baby
Come baby, come
Graffiti my soul

We should be getting it on
Fly DJs playing my song
Why don't you take me head on?
We should be getting somewhere
Some kind of cool an affair
Don't act as if you don't care
You dream of touching me

Your kisses taste of cyanide
And that's no good for me
An open hearted suicide
Ain't my philosophy
A walking talking mannequin
And never questions anything
I've got to say

No more explanations
You're never gonna know
You killed my reputation
I've come to help you know
No more conversation
On top of the world
Dangerous occupation
Talking to a girl

I'm complicated
And I celebrate it
Not entertaining
But you're fascinated
I'm complicated
And I celebrate it
Don't entertain it
But you're fascinated
(And nothing more)

Dance if you want till the dirty is done
Cos we're stars at the dead of the night but
If you're looking for romance, there's a chance
Reflecting the sun then I'm gonna put up a fight
Dance if you want til you fall out of space and
Crash in the back of the car
But if you wanna have my keys and my cash
Don't push my love too far

I'm hanging on a wire
Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fistful of love that's coming your way baby
Come baby, come you know what I mean
And the drum beats rising higher
Bang goes my self control
I've got your name on my face
Your face on my mind baby
Come baby, come
Graffiti my soul

Come baby, come
Graffiti my soul
Baby come baby, come
Graffiti my soul
And the drum beats rising higher
Bang goes my self control
I've got your name on my face
Your face on my mind baby
Come baby, come
Graffiti my soul

(M. Cooper, B. Higgins, T. Larcombe, L. Cowling)

Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station

You've gotta get it, you've gotta get it and pretty soon
You'll find the fingers fit
You've gotta get it, you've gotta get it
And find your groove before the others trip

It started with a look
And pretty soon it was a valentine
And when the whole earth shook
I pass him over to a friend of mine
He started as a squeeze
But pretty soon he was a tourniquet
I'll take my life back please
I liked it better with the time to play

(Show us your look)
I think I'm falling
(Show us your look)
I'm not done crawling
(Show us that look)
Or I'll keeps stalling you
I was thinking of nights without you
Damn right I'll see it through and
I was thinking of life without me
And now I know it's just insanity

Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station

Dance while your dollar going up, up, up and
Catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising
Chance comes a calling go and knock, knock, knock
It's better to be living than surviving

It started with a kiss and
Pretty soon it was a compromise
But with a kung fu twist
I pulled his focus back and on my mind
It started with a drink
That pretty soon became a waterfall
But then my face turned pink cos
I believed him when he said he'd call (said he'd call)

(Show us your look)
I think I'm falling
(Show us your look)
I'm not done crawling
(Show us that look)
Or I'll keeps stalling you
I was thinking of nights without you
Damn right I'll see it through and
I was thinking of life without me
And now I know it's just insanity

Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station

Dance while your dollar going up, up, up and
Catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising
Chance comes a calling go and knock, knock, knock
It's better to be living than surviving, viving

Dance while your dollar going up, up, up and
Catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising
Chance comes a calling go and knock, knock, knock
It's better to be living than surviving, viving, viving, viving, viving

(M. Cooper, B. Higgins, M. Gray, L. Nystrom)

Put your tongue in my ear
It's queer but kinda fun
We're the tomorrow generation
There's much to be done
So, madam fashion, darling
Step this way
The modern girl's delighted to
Be risqué

Here we go
We're gonna rock 'n' roll till stop
And them we'll drop
It's a squeeze
But if you just say please
Then that's fine
It'll be sublime
The bass line cuts deeper than
The sharpest stiletto
So one, two, three, now baby
Here we go

I'm your sugar-coated doll and
You're my Romeo
Here we go, here we go
Geek or unique, hell

You're my hero
Here we go, here we go, here we go

Sugar, give me your face and
Place it next to mine
'Cause darling, grease is the word
And boy, the word's divine
I don't do sex, but I do do
Second base
So I suggest you wipe that frown
From off your face

Here we go
We're gonna rock 'n' roll till we stop (stop)
And then we'll drop
It's a squeeze
But if you just say please
Then that's fine (fine)
It'll be sublime
The bass line cuts deeper than
The sharpest stiletto
So, one two, three, now baby
Here we go

Here we go, here we go
I'm your sugar-coated doll and
You're my Romeo

(M. Cooper, B. Higgins, Girls Aloud)

The people in my bed
Are making me brain dead
And nothing that I can say
Could get them to go
The stories you told me
Are leaving me lonely
But daddy you saw me
And I didn't know

If you wanna rock
Heads will roll
If you wanna stop
Let me go
If you wanna rock
Get it on
If you wanna stop
Turn and I'll be gone

Thank me daddy
For the things that you'll never know
And listen to the noise that I'm making
Not the boys on my answer phone
Oh please
Thank me daddy
For the things that you never knew
I'm sorry but it's rough in the city
And there's just nothing you can do

The rules that I'm breaking
And beds that I'm shaking
Were there for the taking
How could I say no?
So daddy remember
I live for the pleasure
I love you whatever
So just let me go

If you wanna rock
Heads will roll
If you wanna stop
Let me go
If you wanna rock
Get it on
If you wanna stop
Turn and I'll be gone

Thank me daddy
For the things that you'll never know
And listen to the noise that I'm making
Not the boys on my answerphone
Oh please
Thank me daddy
For the things that you never knew
I'm sorry but it's rough in the city
And there's just nothing you can do

We don't talk anymore
We don't know what love is for
So long as we keep the score
We're trying cos
We don't care anyway
There's only so much to say
Cos those little lies are satisfying

Thank me daddy
For the things that you'll never know
And listen to the noise that I'm making
Not the boys on my answerphone
Oh please
Thank me daddy
For the things that you never knew
I'm sorry but it's rough in the city
And there's just nothing you can do

Remember when you watched me sleeping, oooh
And I'd pretend I didn't know
I gave you everything worth giving
Please don't forget me
Or worse regret me, no
Pretending I'm OK
No regrets today
But your green eyes own me
And I just feel lonely, oooh
Deep in thought of you
Not your fault it's nothing that you've put me through
Didn't think that I'd need you, oooh

I said a prayer for you
Felt I needed to
I was wrong, baby
I wish I'd held your hand
Tried to understand
So here's a sorry from me

Long lost hesitations
Falling from my mind
Should have stayed a moment more
And given us some time

Long lost conversations
Time and time again
Everything we look for
Washed away in heavy rain

Remember when you used to call my phone
Checking I was safe and I got home
Sweetest dreams and then I love you, oooh
When I didn't even ask you to
Now you won't return my calls
No memory of me at all
I wonder do you still remember
The 2 years we were together

I said a prayer for you
Felt I needed to
I was wrong, baby
I washed I'd held your hand
Tried to understand
Now you're gone baby
When I'm dreaming I see
All the dreams that could be here again, yeah

I said a prayer for you
Coz I needed to
So here's a sorry from me
I want to believe
This ain't for real
And you still love me
But I'm wasting my time
It's not me on your mind
Here's a sorry from me

As I tried to say goodbye
You wouldn't let me
Kept holding me back
Now I see your face in the crowds
But it's never really you that I'm looking at
I've tried my luck calling night and day
And now I'm stuck
Coz everything you throw away
I'd hold my breath and walk through fire for you
I've tried my best, but all my letters will not do

Aye, aye, aye, I wanna tell you
Aye, aye, aye, My love is so true
Aye, aye, aye, You've got me holding on, yeah
Aye, aye, aye, What was I thinking?
Aye, aye, aye, I've started sinking
Aye, aye, aye, Told you time and time again I was wrong

A hundred different ways I could say I'm sorry, oh
And every other day I try something new, oh
I'd write it out in blood if I thought you'd change but, oh
It's not enough for you

Remember how we laughed together
Said we'd be like this forever
I know so much has happened baby, oh
Why did I hurt you so
Remember how we stayed up dreaming
Of all the thing that we believed in
I know too much has happened baby, oh
And everyday I wonder why I let it go

Aye, aye, aye, I wanna tell you
Aye, aye, aye, My love is so true
Aye, aye, aye, You've got me holding on, yeah
Aye, aye, aye, What was I thinking?
Aye, aye, aye, I've started sinking
Aye, aye, aye, Told you time and time again I was wrong

A hundred different ways I could say I'm sorry, oh
And every other day I try something new, oh
I'd write it out in blood if I thought you'd change but, oh
It's not enough for you

A hundred different ways I could say I'm sorry, oh
And every other day I try something new, oh
I'd write it out in blood if I thought you'd change but, oh
