Was 27, surviving my return of Saturn
A long vacation didn't sound so bad
Was full of secrets, locked up tight like Iron Mountain
Running on empty, so out of gas

Thought I wasn't enough
Found I wasn't so tough
Laying on the bathroom floor
We were living on a fault line
And I felt the fault was all mine
Couldn't take it anymore

[Chorus:]
By the grace of God
There was no other way
I picked myself back up
I knew I had to stay
I put one foot in front of the other
And I looked in the mirror
And decided to stay
Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way

I thank my sister for keeping my head above the water
When the truth was like swallowing sand
Now every morning, there is no more mourning
Oh I can finally see myself again

I know I am enough
Possible to be loved
It was not about me
Now I have to rise above
Let the Universe call the bluff
Yeah, the truth will set you free

[Chorus]

That way, no
That way, no
Not in the name of love (In the name of love)
That way, no
That way, no
I am not giving up

By the grace of God
I picked myself back up
I put one foot in front of the other
And I looked in the mirror

I know a place 
Where the grass is really greener 
Warm, wet, and wild 
There must be somethin' in the water 

Sippin' gin and juice 
Layin' underneath the palm trees 
(Undone) 
The boys break their necks 
Tryin' to creep a little sneak peek 
(At us) 

You could travel the world 
But nothing comes close to the golden coast 
Once you party with us 
You'll be fallin' in love 

California girls, we're unforgettable 
Daisy dukes, bikinis on top 
Sun-kissed skin, so hot 
We'll melt your popsicle 

California girls, we're undeniable 
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it one lock 
West-coast represent 
Now put your hands up 

Sex on the beach 
We've got white sand in our stilettos 
We freak in my jeep 
Snoop Doggy Dogg on the stereo 

You could travel the world 
But nothing comes close to the golden coast 
Once you party with us 
You'll be fallin' in love 

California girls, we're unforgettable 
Daisy dukes, bikinis on top 
Sun-kissed skin, so hot 
We'll melt your popsicle 

California girls, we're undeniable 
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it one lock 
West-coast represent 
Now put your hands up 

Toned, tanned, fit, and ready 
Turn it up 'cause it's gettin' heavy 
Wild, wild west-coast 
These are the girls I love the most 

I mean the ones, I mean like she's the one 
Kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns 
The girl's a freak, she drive a Jeep 
And live on the Beach 

I'm okay, I won't play, I love the bay 
Just like I love L.A. 
Venice Beach and Palm Springs 
Summertime is everyday 

Homeboys bangin' out 
All that ass hangin' out 
Bikinis, zuchinis, martinis, no weenies 
Just a king and a queenie 

Katy, my lady? 
(Yeah?) 
Looky here, baby 
(Uh-huh) 
I'm all up on ya 
'Cause your represtin' California 

California girls, we're unforgettable 
Daisy dukes, bikinis on top 
Sun-kissed skin, so hot 
We'll melt your popsicle 

California girls, we're undeniable 
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it one lock 
West-coast represent 
Now put your hands up 

California, California girls 
(California girls, man) 
California, California girls 
(I really wish you all could be California girls)

Yeah yall know what it is
Katy Perry
Juicy J
Uh huh, let's rave!

I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
Cause I-I-I
I'm capable of anything
Of anything
And everything

Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy
Your enemy
Your enemy

So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse

Are you ready for?
Ready for?
A perfect storm?
Perfect storm?
Cause once you're mine
Once you're mine
There's no going back

Hey!

Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
We're down to earth
If you choose to walk away
Don't walk away

It's in the palm of your hand now baby
It's a yes or a no?
No maybe
So just be sure
Before you give it up to me
Up to me
Give it up to me

So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse

Are you ready for?
Ready for?
A perfect storm?
Perfect storm?
Cause once you're mine
Once you're mine
There's no going back

Uh, she's a beast
I call her Karma
She eat your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shawty's heart is on steroids
Cause her love is so strong
You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She's sweet as pie but if you break her heart
She turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma (Woo!)
Damn, I think I love her
Shawty so bad
I'm sprung and I don't care
She ride me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted

So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse

Are you ready for?
Ready for?
A perfect storm?
Perfect storm?
Cause once you're mine
Once you're mine
There's no going back

Do you ever feel already buried deep? 
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing 
Do you know that there's still a chance for you 
'Cause there's a spark in you? 

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine 
Just own the night like the 4th of July 

'Cause baby, you're a firework 
Come on, show 'em what you're worth 
Make 'em go, oh 
As you shoot across the sky 

Baby, you're a firework 
Come on, let your colors burst 
Make 'em go, oh 
You're gonna leave 'em falling down 

You don't have to feel like a waste of space 
You're original, cannot be replaced 
If you only knew what the future holds 
After a hurricane comes a rainbow 

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed 
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road 
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow 
And when it's time, you'll know 

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine 
Just own the night like the 4th of July 

'Cause baby you're a firework 
Come on, show 'em what you're worth 
Make 'em go, oh 
As you shoot across the sky 

Baby, you're a firework 
Come on, let your colors burst 
Make 'em go, oh 
You're gonna leave 'em falling down 

Boom, boom, boom 
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon 
It's always been inside of you, you, you 
And now it's time to let it through 

'Cause baby you're a firework 
Come on, show 'em what you're worth 
Make 'em go, oh 
As you shoot across the sky 

Baby, you're a firework 
Come on, let your colors burst 
Make 'em go, oh 
You're gonna leave 'em falling down 

Boom, boom, boom 
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon 
Boom, boom, boom 
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

You sent a text
It's like the wind changed your mind
We were best friends
Yeah, we were building our life

With every kiss, and every letter
Every promise of forever, oh
But you hit "Send"
And disappeared in front of my eyes

And now you’re just a ghost
When I look back never would have known that
You could be so cold
Like a stranger vanish like a vapor
There's just an echo where your heart used to be
Now I see it clearly
And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's 20/20
I see through you now

Something has died
Now that I have made up my mind
I'll be alright
It doesn't haunt me at night

'Cause every gift, and every letter,
Every promise of forever
Now, it's out of sight
Like you were never alive

And now you’re just a ghost
When I look back never would have known that
You could be so cold
Like a stranger vanish like a vapor
There's just an echo where your heart used to be
Now I see it clearly
And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's 20/20
I see through you now

Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now

So rest in peace
I'll see you on the other side

And now you’re just a ghost
When I look back never would have known that
You could be so cold
Like a stranger vanish like a vapor
There's just an echo where your heart used to be
Now I see it clearly
And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's 20/20
I see through you now

Now, now, now, now

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now

I see through you now

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes.
Yeah, you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know
And you over think
Always speak
Cryptically

I should know
That you're no good for me

[Chorus:]
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really wanna stay, no
(You) But you don't really wanna go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down

We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout nothing
Now you're plain boring

I should know that
You're not gonna change

[Chorus]

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bipolar
Stuck on a roller coaster
And I can't get off this ride

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really wanna stay, no
(You) But you don't really wanna go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down...

He put it on me, I put it on,
Like there was nothing wrong.
It didn't fit,
It wasn't right.
Wasn't just the size.
They say you know,
When you know.
I don't know.

I didn't feel the fairytale feeling, no.
Am I a stupid girl for even dreaming that I could?

If it's not like the movies,
That's how it should be, yeah.
When he's the one,
I'll come undone,
And my world will stop spinning
And that's just the beginning, yeah.

Snowwhite said when I was young,
"One day my prince will come."
So I'll wait for that date.
They say it's hard to meet your match,
Gotta find my better half.
So we make perfect shapes.
If stars don't align,
If it doesn't stop time,
If you can't see the sign,
Wait for it.
One hundred percent,
Worth every penny spent.
He'll be the one that
Finishes your sentences.

If it's not like the movies,
That's how it should be, yeah.
When he's the one,
He'll come undone,
And my world will stop spinning,
And that's just the beginning, oh, yeah.

'Cause I know you're out there,
And you're, you're looking for me, oh.
It's a crazy idea that you were made perfectly for me
You'll see.

Just like the movies.
That's how it will be.
Cinematic and dramatic with the perfect ending, oh.

It's not like the movies, oh,
But that's how it should be, yeah.
When he's the one,
You'll come undone,
And your world will stop spinning,
And it's just the beginning.

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

[Pre-Chorus:]
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

[Pre-Chorus:]
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

You think I'm pretty
Without any makeup on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, down

Before you met me
I was alright but things
Were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my Valentine, Valentine

Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance, until we die
You and I, will be young forever

[Chorus:]
You make me feel
Like I'm livin' a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back

My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back

We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete

Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance, until we die
You and I, will be young forever

[Chorus:]
You make me feel
Like I'm livin' a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back

My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back

I'mma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

[Chorus:]
Yoooouuu
You make me feel
Like I'm livin' a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
No

My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back

I'mma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)

Summer after high school when we first met
We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on (Whoa)

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the Blues
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse

But in another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
The one that got away

[Bridge:]
All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo)
Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
I should've told you what you meant to me (Whoa)
'Cause now I pay the price

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed

You said move on
Where do I go?
I guess second best
Is all I will know

'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best?
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into...

You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know

'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay... stay.

Oh no, did I get too close?
Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?
All your insecurities
All the dirty laundry
Never made me blink one time

Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally

Come just as you are to me
Don't need apologies
Know that you are worthy
I'll take your bad days with your good
Walk through the storm I would
I do it all because I love you, I love you

Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally

So open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart

Acceptance is the key to be
To be truly free
Will you do the same for me?

Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
And there is no fear now
Let go and just be free
'Cause I will love you unconditionally (oh yeah)
I will love you (unconditionally)
I will love you
I will love you unconditionally

[Chorus:]
Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

Why are these lights so bright?
Oh, did we get hitched last night dressed up like Elvis?
Why am I wearing your class ring?
Don't call your mother
'cause now we're partners in crime

[Chorus]

You got me into this
Information overload, situation lost control
Send out an S.O.S.
And get some cash out
We're gonna tear up the town

Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me [x3]
Told me, told me...
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
That's what you get, baby
Shake the glitter, shake, shake, shake the glitter, c'mon!
Give me some cash out, baby
Give me some cash out, baby

Yeah, I was in the dark 
I was falling hard 
With an open heart 

I'm wide awake 
How did I read the stars so wrong 
I'm wide awake 

And now it's clear to me 
That everything you see 
Ain't always what it seems 

I'm wide awake 
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long 

[Pre-Chorus] 

I wish I knew then 
What I know now 
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down 

Gravity hurts 
You made it so sweet 
Till I woke up on 
On the concrete 

[Chorus] 

Falling from cloud 9 
Crashing from the high 
I'm letting go tonight 
(Yeah I'm) 
Falling from cloud 9 

I'm wide awake 
Not losing any sleep 
I picked up every piece 

And landed on my feet 
I'm wide awake 
Need nothing to complete myself 
Nooohoo 

I'm wide awake 
Yeah, I am born again
Outta the lion's den 

I don't have to pretend 
And it's too late 
The story's over now, the end 

[Pre-Chorus] 

I wish I knew then 
What I know now 
Wouldn't dive in 
Wouldn't bow down 

Gravity hurts 
You made it so sweet 
Till I woke up on 
On the concrete 

[Chorus] 

Falling from cloud 9 
Crashing from the high 
I'm letting go tonight 
(yeah, I'm letting go) 

I'm Falling from cloud 9 
Thunder rumbling 
Castles crumbling 
I am trying to hold on 

God knows that I tried 
Seeing the bright side 
But I'm not blind anymore... 
I'm wide awake 
I'm wide awake 

[Chorus] 

Yeah, I'm Falling from cloud 9 
Crashing from the high 
You know I'm letting go tonight 
I'm Falling from cloud 9 

I'm wide awake 
I'm wide awake 
I'm wide awake 
I'm wide awake 
I'm wide awake

Mama did her best to do it all when Dad was gone 
And every night she'd swear he'd really rather be at home 
Sometimes we'd believe her 'til we'd look in Daddy's eyes 
He'd have that faraway look he never could disguise 

(CHORUS) 
Mama loved Daddy but Daddy loved trains 
The steel rails controlled him like whiskey in his veins 
Number two diesel fuel flowed through his veins 
Mama loved Daddy but Daddy loved trains 
 

Now that I've grown older there's some things I understand 
It takes a special person to love that kind of man 
In ways I guess I'm different but in ways I'm just the same 
I've grown to love somebody like my daddy loved those trains

 It ain't nothin' a little bit of love won't fix 
 It ain't nothin' but a scratch a little bit of love can stitch 
 It ain't nothin' a little bit of love can't heal 
 Your love makes me feel, 
 No matter what hand life deals 
 It ain't nothin' 
 It ain't nothin' 

 It was written all over her face 
 She was about to climb the walls 
 She said you gotta get me out of this place 
 'Cause even Cinderella got to go to the ball 
 If you multiply hell times three 
 That's what this day's been like for me 
 I said honey we'll do the town 
 Just don't let it get you down 

 'Cause it ain't nothin' a little bit of love won't fix 
 It ain't nothin' but a scratch a little bit of love can stitch 
 It ain't nothin' a little bit of love can heal 
 Your love makes me feel, 
 No matter what hand life deals 
 It ain't nothin' 
 It ain't nothin' 

 It ain't nothin' a little bit of love won't fix 
 It ain't nothin' but a scratch a little bit of love can stitch 
 It ain't nothin' a little bit of love can heal 
 Your love makes me feel, 
 No matter what hand life deals 
 It ain't nothin' 
 It ain't nothin'

I'm no stranger to the rain 
I can spot bad weather 
And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour 
I've been sacrificed by brothers 
Crucified by lovers 
But through it all I withstood the pain 
I'm no stranger to the rain 

But when I get that foggy feeling 
When I'm feeling down 
If I don't keep my head up, I may drown 
But it's hard to keep believing 
I'll even come out even 
While the rain beats your hope in the ground 
And tonight it's really coming down 

I'm no stranger to the rain 
But there'll always be tomorrow 
And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine 
And I'll put this cloud behind me 
That's how the Man designed me 
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane 
I'm no stranger to the rain 

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain 

I'm no stranger to the rain 
I'm a friend of thunder 
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me 
But I'll put this cloud behind me 
That's how the Man designed me 
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane 
I'm no stranger to the rain 

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain
