Natasha Bedingfield Album

OhOhOhOh
YaYaYaYa
If it's weird for girls to give guys flowers,
Then maybe that's a reason too,
You're not climbing up my ivory tower,
So I'm comin' down for you,

Is it wrong to write our names in love hearts,
In the dust that's on the car you drive
Droppin' hints can only get you so far,
When you don't know that I'm alive

Is it wrong to be the instigator [is it worng, is it wrong?]
Is it bad to be the move maker
Guess I gotta be the first to say a
to say a, to say a

Chorus-
How do you do?
If you won't say it, I will,
How do you do?
I'm really pleased to meet you,
How do you do?
Gotta say it how I feel it,
Say it or I will,

When you're hanging at the point of stalement,
It's not the time to bite your tongue
So at the risk of looking really stupid,
I'm gunna take the plunge

Is it wrong to be the instigator [No]
Is it bad to be the move maker
Guess I gotta be the first to say a
to say a, to say a

CHORUS

Say it or I will

It's not a good life just sittin round drinkin tea
Touching all each other
Exchanging pleasantries
I've been too retired to sink except
Sick of crosswords
Now I want to connect

CHORUS

Gotta say it how I feel it,
Say it or i will

CHORUS

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,
but what if it don't
What happens in my head, stays in my head,
but sometimes it won't
What if you knew what I was thinkin',
would it make you like WOAH,
I don't wanna risk, putting my foot in this,
so I keep my mouth closed
All you hear is...

[Chorus:]
(mmm mm mmm mm mm)
Can I button my lip so the truth don't slip?
(mmm mm mmm mm mm)
Gotta bleep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops!,
Did I say out loud, did you find out?!
I want to have your babies,
Get serious like crazy
I want to have your babies,
I see 'em springing up like daisies

Some of my feelings keep escapin',
so I make it a joke
Non chalant I keep on faking,
so my heart don't get broke
I'm in a big big big big ocean, in a tiny little boat
I'm known to put the idea out there,
if I know it's gonna float
All you hear is...

[Chorus:]
(mmm mm mmm mm mm)
Can I button my lip so the truth don't slip?
(mmm mm mmm mm mm)
Gotta bleep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops!,
Did I say out loud, did you find out?!
I want to have your babies,
Get serious like crazy
I want to have your babies,
I see 'em springing up like daisies

Cause in my head there's a slot machine,
and I'm hoping your the one in my hopes and dreams
(La la la la la la la)
Trust me it would scare you if you knew what was going on in my brain
Trust me it would scare you that I picked the church, or their schoosl, or their
names
If you knew it was all about you,
every wish, every candle, every coin in the fountain
Trust me it would scare you
That's why I go

(mmm mm mmm mm mm)
Yeah, Oh Yeah

[Chorus: x2]
(mmm mm mmm mm mm)
Can I button my lip so the truth don't slip?
(mmm mm mmm mm mm)
Gotta bleep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops!,
Did I say out loud, did you find out?! (yeah)
I want to have your babies,
Get serious like crazy
I want to have your babies,
I see 'em springing up like daisies

[Natasha Talking]
Here's one, there's another, OH!
Oh there's one, (laughs)
There's a baby, there's one
Babies babies babies babies babies babies babies
(sings: I want to have your babies! Oh yeah!)

(fades out)

Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
You're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable
Is already in my life?
Right in front of me
Or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

I'm in like with
Not in love with you quite yet
My heart's beginning to
Slightly overrule my head

Oh no, oh no
My self control
It won't hold up for very long
Oh no, oh no
You touch my soul
I can't help falling too fast for you

Can you hold on a bit
Stop before we go
'cause I might need a moment
And I wouldn't wanna spoil it

Who knows if I am ready or not
Only time will tell
Who knows if we are ready to make this something
Who knows

Maybe this is love
But I haven't fallen in quite yet

Oh no, oh no
My self control
It won't hold up for very long
Oh no, oh no
You touch my soul
I can't help falling too fast for you

Can you hold on a bit
Stop before we go
'cause I might need a moment
And I wouldn't wanna spoil it

Who knows if I am ready or not
Only time will tell
Who knows if we are ready to make this something
Who knows
Who knows

Can you hold on a bit
Stop before we go
'cause I might need a moment
And I wouldn't wanna spoil it

Who knows if I am ready or not
Only time will tell
Who knows if we are ready to make this something

Who knows if I am ready or not
Only time will tell
Who knows if we are ready to make this something
Who knows

Who knows
Maybe, maybe not
Who knows
Maybe, maybe not
Who knows
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Who knows

No need to translate,
'cause my eyes give me away,
Even though my lips don't say..

This should be so easy,
But my head gets in the way,
All the things that I want to tell you.

You're the most perfect yet,
Most definitely that i've met,
And I wonder if you know that's how I feel about you.
I hope you know..

'cause I have so much love for you.
Do with it what you will..
And I have nothing more to prove,
Say to me what you will..
Say, say it again.

Not enough lovers in life to go around
But there's you and me,
If we don't start it out.. mmmm..
It's not hard to let go
Enough to let me in.
If it's meant to be,
It can only be good.

You're the most perfect fit,
Most definitely that i've met,
And I hope that you feel the same way too
About me.. just let me know..

'cause I have so much love for you,
Do with it what you will..
And I have nothing more to prove.
Say to me what you will..
Say, say it again..

Can you take it from me?
If I give, can you receive?
I'm reaching out,
Giving everything.
I give you my heart, I give you my soul,
I give you it all..

'cause I have so much love for you,
Do with it what you will..
And I have nothing more to prove.
Say to me what you will..
Say, say it again..

What if I squeezed myself into any shape
And I still don't fit
What if I bend myself so much that i break
And I cant mend it
What if I burned so bright that the fire goes out
And I cant stay lit
Whats the point in it
I could get good at crying crocodiles tears
Just to get along
I could carry on telling you what you want to hear
Til my voice is gone
But if i finally get to the place that I think is home
And i don't belong
Whats the point in it
Wheres the benefit
When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it

Its not worth having
If its too much to hold
It can dig so deep
That your left with a hole
Does the energizer with a bag full of gold

Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
While the thought was treasures just a pile of stones
I might have to judge, rather then be lying alone
Just a pile of pirate bones

Uh yeah oh oh
If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having
Uh yeah oh oh
If its something I stole it ain't worth having

What if I stake everything I am on a dream
And its counterfeit
If I reach the end that justifies the means
Could I live with it
And if its true that I have to much of any good thing
Can only make me sick
Whats the point in it
Wheres the benefit
When I'm gaining all, but I'm losing it
Oooh

Its not worth having
If its too much to hold
It can dig so deep
That your left with a hole
Does the energizer with a bag full of gold

Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
While the thought was treasures just a pile of stones
I might have to judge, rather then be lying alone
Pirate bones
Uh yeah oh oh
If i forfeit my soul it ain't worth having
Uh yeah oh oh
If its something I stole it ain't worth having

Its not worth that much to me
If loosing out is what it means
This way may shallow victory
Is empty
Empty
Its just not worth the prize
Its only a fools pirate dies
If its draining every drop of lies
Til I'm dry
Lie.

Pirate Bones!

(Its not worth having) its not worth having
If its too much to hold
It can dig so deep
That your left with a hole
Does the energizer with a bag full of gold

Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
While the thought was treasures just a pile of stones
I might have to judge, rather then be lying alone
Just a pile of pirate bones

If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having
Ooh ooh
If its something I stole it ain't worth having

Pirate bones
(While the thought was treasures just a pile of....stones)
mmmmm

Pirate Bones.

It's been too long
Don't think I've seen you smile at me for quite a while
And we're too busy doing things
We haven't noticed what's missing
Where's the fun we used to have?
My childish ways and your sarcasm
Silly jokes and fairy tales
Where did we leave them?
Lost in the backyard
Your lasso my tiara
My wand, your plastic bazooka
Why can't we be how we were
In the backyard

Your cowboy hat, my tutu
You hide and seek, I catch you
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard
Simple days of hand in hand
And drawing our names in the sand
Somehow life just complicates
Our buried treasure it just waits
Lost in the backyard
You can still meet me in the garden
You and I and hide behind the rosebed
You and I
You and I
Lost in the backyard again

I like to think I know how to look out for myself
I've got ways and means to filter wrong guys out
When the B.S. meter is slamming into the red
I just walk away 'cause I'm not interested

I've never met a boy who didn't hit on me
I did not suspect reverse psychology
You know, if you'd knocked I wouldn't have let you in
How'd you get the code to my security system

I think some tricky angel
Just knocked me on the head
Made me look at you different
Made me see some sense
Tricky angel got me falling
Without my consent
And I'm so glad he did
'cause I didn't know you were heaven sent

I was writing you off, making a huge mistake
His intervention rescued us from fate
I don't know how, but somehow you got me down
You just broke into me and ignored that it wasn't allowed

Someone's being sneaky, sneaky
'cause I'm so hard to please
I was so picky, picky
So cupid take the boxes for me

I think some tricky angel
Just knocked me on the head
Made me look at you different
Made me see some sense
Tricky angel got me falling

Without my consent
And I'm so glad he did
'cause I didn't know you were heaven sent

Under the radar
You slipped into my heart
You gave me a taste for
What I didn't know that I wanted
When I wasn't looking
You did what I least expected
Tiptoed in while I was sleeping
And I'm wide awake now

I think some tricky angel
Just knocked me on the head
Made me look at you different
Made me see some sense
Tricky angel got me falling
Without my consent
And I'm so glad he did
'cause I didn't know you were heaven sent

I think some tricky angel
Just knocked me on the head
Made me look at you different
Made me see some sense
Tricky angel got me falling
Without my consent
And I'm so glad he did
'cause I didn't know you were heaven sent

Tricky angel got me falling
And I'm so glad he did

You taught me a lesson about love today
Love is not a castle in the clouds
Coz there's a storm, it'll all come crashing down
I'd rather find it like a penny on the ground
Coz that's something I can keep and carry around
Truth is not a feather blowin' round in the wind
It's that jump in your heart, goosebumps on your skin
Just pinch me if it's really happening
Coz I'm more awake than I've ever been
And you're the one from my dream
You're out of my mind
And into my heart
You're more than a feeling
More than I could have thought
I can't deny, I can't say love never comes
All I know is, when you know, you know
And I just know

That love has come in the form of you
If someone put me on a witness stand
I'd point to you, a hardcore evidence
You're proof that you don't have to understand
You can still fall into the right hands
You're the one in my dreams

[Chorus]

I was a doubter
A typical, won't believe til I see
Oh so grounded, to think that someone like you
Couldn't be right in front of me

[Chorus x2]

And I just know

Hate those times when the mirror's not my friend
When everything I see in it offends
Talking back at me I swear it says
All the things I think they're thinking
All the things I think they're thinking about me

About me
On rainy days when there's absolutely nothing to do
But stay inside, bite my nails and chew
On all the things I'd rather not think about thinking
All the things I think they're thinking

(Feat. Eve)

All the could-be's buzzin' 'round
My mind a thousand-timely cloud
And now I can not see the sun

All the worries on my list
Rush like lamings off a cliff
I'm powerless to save even one

All my friends tell me I'm thinking too much
It's not over 'til it's over
Because today is trouble enough
Live tomorrow, 'til tomorrow

I'm not jinxing what could be
Second guessing what I see
There is you and there is me
No what if's
My crossing fingers knocking wood
'cause worrying about we could
Spoil the moment when it's good
No more what ifs
Could-be's
One day's
If only's

That intro's looping on and on
Don't really get to feel the song
When it's only playing in my head

If I don't listen with my heart
Trust my instincts from the start
Then I'm as done, as done can get

So I'm not
I'm not jinxing what could be
Second guessing what I see
There is you and there is me
No what if's
My crossing fingers knocking wood
'cause worrying about we could
Spoil the moment when it's good
No more what ifs
Could-be's
One day's
If only's

If the sky falls down
What if it don't work out
What if a black cat crosses my path
Does that mean you and me, we're not gonna last?
What if Mr Right turns out to be wrong?
What if there's no happy ending for this song
What if the one for me is the one that's she's with
When my heart feels love, or will my head believes it?

I'm thinking too much.
It's not over 'til it's over
'cause today is trouble enough
Live tomorrow, 'til tomorrow

I'm not jinxing what could be
Second guessing what I see
There is you and there is me
No what if's
My crossing fingers knocking wood
'cause worrying about we could
Spoil the moment when it's good
No more what ifs
Could-be's
One day's
If only's

Rubbing salt in my wounds
Like it don’t hurt, like it don’t hurt me
Your sweet bitter love songs
That seduce me with a sinister beat

I’m bringing out the worst in you
It was never my intention to
That was just unfair to do
Salt in my wounds
Getting burned up
With the negative heat

How can I stay mad with you?
When I’m so in love with you

I don’t know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some how
You and me we got common ground
I’m not giving up, no

Are you looking for a way out?
Are you looking for an exit?
It seems like all the fuss you’re making
Is a sign that you’re not quite sure

Well, I don’t recommend you to
Coz what we got’s to good to lose
And I can tell you know that too
Or is it just aggravation
You’re picking on me
You’re rubbing salt in my wounds

How can I stay mad with you?
When I’m so in love with you

I don’t know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some work
You and me we got common ground
I’m not giving up, no

I don’t know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some work
You and me we got common ground
I’m not giving up, no

Maybe just a kind word now and then
Could turn it around and make us a happy end
But if this is it and the moment is gone
Well then I guess I must have just got it wrong

Wise as it sounds it just doesn’t make sense
And as long as it takes I’m gonna keep on trying
Coz I’m not giving up on us
I’m not giving up, no

How can I stay mad with you?
I’m not giving up, no
When I’m so in love with you

I don’t know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some work
You and me we got common ground
I’m not giving up, no

No way, no way
I’m not giving up, no
No way, no way
I’m not giving up, no

I've been livin in a room without windows
Away from the sun, no oxygen
I couldn't tell if it was day or night
Away from the sun, growing nowhere fast
Rushing along on the pavement
Don't even look at the people's faces, going places

When an old man said stop
You nearly stepped on a flower
Growing through the cracks
And you didn't even notice

[Chorus:]
Wake up smell the roses
Life is happening and you don't know it
Wake up, take a moment
Grab it in your hands... and own it

I realise our love is like that flower
Been neglecting the thing most precious to me
You've been talking but I haven't been listening
The static in the noise been drowning you out
I so wanna be in the future
That I keep tripping

Over my own shoe laces
In these human races
And i'm brought back to now
And the volume goes down
There's peace in his words as loud as a shout sayin'

[Chorus]

He says

[Chorus]

Like your birthday I forgot
I was with you
But I was not... really there
Snap your fingers, that's your life
Not gonna let it pass my by no
When an old man said stop
You nearly stepped on a flower
Growing
Through the cracks
And you didn't even notice

[Chorus]

Do I look different? Wouldn't be surprised if I did
'cause it isn't that often that someone affects me quite like this
And there's only one to blame, that I've been all rearranged
Showing all my face that's because

Somebody loves me, more than I thought was possible
Somebody's changed me and it's you that's responsible
You gave me your heart, don't need any more evidence
That I'm loved
Somebody gets me and it's not just coincidence
Somebody's for me, and it makes all the difference
You gave me your heart don't need any more evidence
That I'm loved by you

There's a change for the better, a change for good
I'm changed for the better, I am changed for good
The world's looking sunny, 'cause that's what you do to me

Somebody loves me, more than I thought was possible
Somebody's changed me and it's you that's responsible
You gave me your heart, don't need any more evidence
That I'm loved
Somebody gets me and it's not just coincidence
Somebody's for me, and it makes all the difference
You gave me your heart don't need any more evidence
That I'm loved by you

I'm Loved By You
Oh

Speechless, but the answers in my mouth
Breathless, the emotions seeping out
Beyond my control
You spoke to my silence, and asked
Why so cold?


You ask for peace, I give you war
While you let go, I hold too tightly
I take my aim, you hit the floor,
I'm not ready to,
Lay down my arms

Cracking, my defences breaking down
The unravelling, of a rope I put around me
You wont take no for an answer

Chorus

I didn't know I was missing out, 'til you lost and I, I won
You made me realise my incompleteness alone
Can no longer live by candlelight
When you show me the sun

Chorus
