Art of Minimalism

The more you grow the less you throw
No matter how deep you wanna go
learning the art as miserly an impecunious genius
Slowly and steadily win the race instead of fast and furious
By and by things will cross you in the sideways
You have to treat things in an ordinary ways
No duping yourself into pitiable pitch of haughtiness
Treating the things as it envisage but at heart emptiness
This all or none law may make you hue and cry

She Ain't Your Ordinary Girl

(Robert Jason)
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She don't love carelessly that's what I've always heard
'Can't use the usual lines she measures every word
No empty promises proof is what it takes to win her heart
The truth and nothing less, simple things that set her far apart
Save your diamonds and your furs she's not your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, no she's not
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, oh no
She ain't your ordinary girl
No midnight alibis, no foolish games for her
And if you cross the line you'll get what you deserve
But when you see her smile nothing seems to matter anymore
And in a little while you'll feel like you've never felt before
Like no other in the world, she's not your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, no she's not
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, oh no
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
Save your diamonds and your furs, she ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl

Ordinary Day

Woke up this morning
Went to the window saw a rainy day
Feelin' the pressure from all of the things I gotta face today
All of my days are totally crazy can't do nothin' right
It's an ordinary day
Every minute feels like an hour slowly creepin' by
All of the stress but I do my best to take it all it's right
I need to decide, need to unwind
All the things that's on my mind
It's and ordinary day
[chorus]
Things are crazy but it's alright
You will make me feel alive again
When it rains here all the sun shine
That lights me up from deep inside

Some Things 2

Some things get better with change
while others only get worse.
With some changes
a bad element move in
and spoils it for everyone.

Some things grow at a slow rate,
while others grow too fast.
Those that grow slowly
seem more pleasurable
than those that swell overnight.

Some things need to change,
while others really don’t.
When change happens
to the things that don’t
it looses its personality.

You Make Me Wanna

this is what you do
this is what you do
this is what you do

(Chorus)
you make me wanna leave the one i'm with
start a new relationship with you
this is what you do
think about her and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me wanna leave the one i'm with
start a new realtionship with you
this is what you do
think about her and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me

(Verse1)

Before anything began between us
You were like my bestfriend
The one I used to run to when me and my
girl was having problems (thats right)
You used to say it would be okay
suggest little nice things I should do
And when I come home at night and lay my head down
all I seem to think about is you
And how you make me wanna

(Chorus)
you make me wanna leave the one i'm with
start a new relationship with you
this is what you do
think about her and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me wanna leave the one i'm with
start a new realtionship with you
this is what you do
think about her and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me

(Verse2)

Now what's bad
Is your're the one that hooked us up
Knowing it should've been you
What's sad is I love her but I'm falling for you
What should I do
Should I
Tell my baby bye-bye
Should I
Do exactly what I feel inside
Cause I
I don't wanna go
Don't need to stay
But I really need to get it together

(Chorus)
you make me wanna leave the one i'm with (oh baby)
start a new relationship with you
this is what you do
think about her and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me wanna leave the one i'm with (oh baby)
start a new relationship with you
this is what you do
think about her and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me

(Verse 3)

At this point
The situation's out of control
I never meant to hurt her but I
Gotta let her go
And if she may not understand it
Why all of this is going on
I tried
I tried to fight it but the feelings just to strong

You make me wanna wanna
You make me wanna

(Chorus)
you make me wanna leave the one i'm with
start a new relationship with you
this is what you do
think about her and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me wanna leave the one i'm with
start a new relationship with you
this is what you do
think about her and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me

Pieces

Pieces of me, pieces of you, consisting of others
Teachers, friends, coaches, mothers, and fathers.
The older we get, the more we see
Pieces of others, that make up today's me.
Little things that we learnt from years past
Little things to which we now hold fast
Ways to do, views to see, ways to live
Ways to love, grow, to learn and to give
So many people, each with a little contribution
Many of whom never have attribution
For the things they gave, the things they taught.
Things that are priceless, cannot be bought.
Some of them will never know
How much they helped others grow
They will never perceive their influence
Neither will they see the difference.
Pieces of you, pieces of me, rubbing off everywhere
A little on her, and a little on him there
Forever changing their lives, for worse or better
Making them weaker, or making them stronger
So many pieces of you and pieces of me
Please, be careful what they be
Wherever you go, whatever you say or do
Guarantee that something will rub off from you
Never underestimate your words and actions effect
You never know just who you might affect.

I Will

Ooh I will always love you
You were the first to take my heart
Make me happy
At the same time make me cry
Showed me a lot of things
I never knew that I had inside
Late night phone conversations of you tellin me what you wanna do
Then wed argue all night about whos been sleepin with you
And no matter what people say
It dont change the way I feel
And no matter how much we fuse and fight
I gotta keep it real with myself
Cause as bad as I wanna leave
Its the hardest thing for me
I can keep tryin ta act like I dont care
But deep down inside I aint goin nowhere
Chorus:
I will always love you
No matter how many things
You try to do or say
Certain things just dont go away
I will always love you
No matter how many things
You try to do or say
Certain things just dont go away
You were the first to see my body body
Give me gifts and all types of real nice things
I used to tell you how much I loved you
And in return you would do the same
Ive had so many lonely days
Ever since you uped and went away
I can help but wonder where youre at
Hopin one day youll be back baby
And no matter what people say
It dont change the way I feel
And no matter how much we fuse and fight
I gotta keep it real with myself
Cause as bad as I wanna leave
Its the hardest thing for me
I can keep tryin ta act like I dont care
But deep down inside I aint goin nowhere
Chorus
Respectfully I say to thee
Im aware that youre cheating
But no one
No one
Can make me feel the way you do

Don't Wanna Let You Go

Everybody wants to have a girl like you
But I'm the one and it's right
Somebody comes along and says they play your song
My wish becomes his delight
He'll try to take you from me
Don't wanna let you go
Not gonna get far from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your special your one of a kind (so...)
Don't wanna let you go
Some things money can't buy
Your smiles pasted
My time is wasted
You say I told you so, told you so
You can't tell lies from facts
He'll try to hold you back
You make the tension grow, grow and grow
He'll try to take you from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your not gonna get far from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your special your one of a kind (so...)
Don't wanna let you go
Some things money can't buy...
Don't wanna let you go
Don't wanna let you go
Everybody wants to have a girl like you
But I'm the one and it's right
And somebody comes along and says he plays your song
My wish becomes his delight
He'll try to take you from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your not gonna get far from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your special your one of a kind (so...)
Don't wanna let you go
Some things money can't buy...
Don't wanna let you go
Your special your one of a kind (so...)
Don't wanna let you go
Some things money can't buy...
Don't wanna let you go
Don't wanna let you go
Don't wanna let you go
He'll try to take you away from me
Don't wanna let you go, let you go, oh no no no (yeah)

Special

I been trying for so long
To get you where I stand
Feel like I been climbing all my life
Everybody told me
I'd never ever get this far
I know I can make it if I try
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
(come to you, you too, to you, do to, be do, you)
Special things come to you
There's no sense in trying to fight it
When I want something so bad
No, it's not as easy as it seems
Simple things are the hardest
Of the things we do for love
And I won't give up cause I'm not just what it means
The special things you dream about
And the special things you're all about
Special things that somehow come to you
And it's the simple things to just believe
And the special things that you want to see
Special things somehow come to you
(come to you, doo doo doo, to you, doo doo doo)
Special things (doo, doo ahh, you doo)
Do do doo, on you, do do doo, to you
Do doo, ahh, do do doo, too
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
The special things you dream about
And the special things you're all about
Special things that somehow come to you
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
And it's the simple things to just believe
And the special things that you want to see
Special things somehow come to you

Things Get FUNKY Fast

try to keep it shiny,
try to make it last,
every time you turn around,
things get funky fast.

try for law and order,
the die is cast
every time you turn around,
things get funky fast.

no matter how you figure,
no matter how big the blast,
bowling pins built to fall down,
and things get funky fast.

toil and trouble,
hang on what we do,
and bloodhounds,
coming after you.

the present moment,
ruled by the past,
every time you turn around,
things get funky fast.

you know I love you, baby
twine time is fine,
but I can't tell,
if you're a friend of mine.

on the deck of the ship
you're climbing up the mast,
it's hard to be hip,
things get funky fast.

I Dont Want To Grow Up

When Im lying in my bed at nite
I dont wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I dont wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog thats
Always changing things
Makes wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I dont wanna grow up
I dont ever want to be that way
I dont wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
That they never want
The only thing to live for is today...
Im gonna put a hole in my t.v. set
I dont wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I dont wanna grow up
I dont wanna have to shout it out
I dont want my hair to fall out
I dont wanna be filled with doubt
I dont wanna be a good boy scout
I dont wanna have to learn to count
I dont wanna have the biggest amount
I dont wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I dont wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin all night
I dont wanna grow up
Id rather stay here in my room
Nothin out there but sad and gloom
I dont wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 oclock news
I dont wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I dont wanna grow up

An Emptiness Collected (Things)

Things,
People pray for.
Things,
People have.
Things,
All around the people.
And things they have make them sad.
Things,
They ask of God to give.
Things,
They get don't please.
And when they realize it's not things they need...
That touch that is desired and wanted,
Has come to leave...
Them!
With their things!
And a generous offering,
Felt...
Of an emptiness collected!

I Don't Wanna Stop

Well all these games you play
You're messin with my head
[You're messin with my head]
And I don't why I'll stay
I should leave instead
[I should leave instead]
When I speak from my heart
You laugh like it's a game
[Well this ain't no game]
Yeah, we make great friends
But it just isn't the same
Ohhhhh
And I know
This is not the way it should be
And I know you treat him like me
[Badoobie-doobie-doobie-doo]
But I don't wanna stop

Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
And I don't need you to buy me pretty things
[You don't pay for me]
Pay for my tatoos or buy me diamond rings
[I don't want those things]
All I know is that I'm happy to smile
[I wanna see you smile]
And it'd make my day if you'd just stay for a while
[CHORUS]
And I know
This is not the way it should be
And I know you treat him like me

Ready & Willing

CHORUS
Girl it ain't no thing
If you're willing, we can't swing
I'm ready and willing
I hope you feel what I'm feeling
I want you here tonight
Cuz you got just what I like
I'm ready and willing
I hope you feel what I'm feeling
Seems, you been looking 'round my way
I can't hide it, I'm here to say
I been feelin', feelin' quite the same
And it seems strange
That we've had no exchange, of words
And I've had ?
We were meant to be
So let's throw the dice and we will see
Girl, I'll give you all that I have
We'll take things slowly, let's not move too fast
I'll make sure there's nothing you need
And I'll promise you baby, that I'll always be
CHORUS REPEAT
Girl, you know you got me in a daze
I won't lie, it's just your ways
That's got me feeling
Your actions ?
And, your love is blowing my mind
And your body's proving so kind
Girl, you consume my every thought
Baby come with me
Ready or not
Girl, I'll give you all that I have
We'll take things slowly, let's not move too fast
I'll make sure there's nothing you need
And I'll promise you baby, that I will always be
CHORUS REPEAT
SPOKEN: Yo, what's up baby? You know that's the reason I pulled you over here
right? Yeah, I'm ready, I'm willing, for whatever.
Gonna put you where you wanna be
I just wanna be your fantasy
Got me ready and willing
And I'll show you love, show you love
REPEAT X3
CHORUS REPEAT

You look so fine oh baby
