MIKA

1. GRACE KELLY

I wanna talk to you

(The last time we talked Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears

I promise you that won't happen again)

Do I attract you?

Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?

Am I too dirty?

Am I too flirty?

Do I like what you like?

 

I could be wholesome

I could be loathsome

I guess I'm a little bit shy

Why don't you like me?

Why don't you like me without making me try?

 

I try to be like Grace Kelly

But all her looks were too sad

So I try a little Freddie

I've gone identity mad!

 

I could be brown

I could be blue

I could be violet sky

I could be hurtful

I could be purple

I could be anything you like

Gotta be green

Gotta be mean

Gotta be everything more

Why don't you like me?

Why don't you like me?

Why don't you walk out the door!

 

How can I help it

How can I help it

How can I help what you think?

Hello my baby

Hello my baby

Putting my life on the brink

Why don't you like me

Why don't you like me

Why don't you like yourself?

Should I bend over?

Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

 

I try to be like Grace Kelly

But all her looks were too sad

So I try a little Freddie

I've gone identity mad!

 

I could be brown

I could be blue

I could be violet sky

I could be hurtful

I could be purple

I could be anything you like

Gotta be green

Gotta be mean

Gotta be everything more

Why don't you like me?

Why don't you like me?

Walk out the door!

 

Say what you want to satisfy yourself

But you only want what everybody else says you should want

 

I could be brown

I could be blue

I could be violet sky

I could be hurtful

I could be purple

I could be anything you like

Gotta be green

Gotta be mean

Gotta be everything more

Why don't you like me?

Why don't you like me?

Walk out the door!

 

I could be brown

I could be blue

I could be violet sky

I could be hurtful

I could be purple

I could be anything you like

Gotta be green

Gotta be mean

Gotta be everything more

Why don't you like me?

Why don't you like me?

Walk out the door!

2. LOLLIPOP

 

Hey, what's the big idea?

 

Yo Mika.

 

I said, 

sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down,

I said, 

sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down.

 

Sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down,

sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down.

Say love, say love,

or love's gonna get you down.

say love, say love,

or love's gonna get you down.

 

I went walking in with my mama one day,

when she warn me what people say,

live your life until love is found,

'cause love's gonna get you down.

Take a look at the girl next door,

she's a player and a down right whore,

Jesus slows up, she wants more,

oh bad girls get you down.

 

Singing,

Sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down,

sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down.

Say love, say love,

or love's gonna get you down.

say love, say love,

or love's gonna get you down.

 

Mama told me what I should know,

too much candy gonna ride your soul,

if she loves you, let her go,

'cause love only gets you down.

Take a look at the boy like me,

never stood on my own two feet,

now I'm blue, as I can be,

oh love couldn't get me down.

 

Singing,

sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down,

sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down.

Say love, say love,

or love's gonna get you down.

say love, say love,

or love's gonna get you down.

 

I went walking with my mama one day,

when she warn me what people say,

live your life until love is found,

or love's gonna get you down.

 

Singing,

sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down,

sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down.

Say love (say love), say love (say love),

or love's gonna get you down.

say love (say love), say love (say love),

or love's gonna get you down.

 

Mama told me what I should know,

too much candy gonna ride your soul,

if she loves you, let her go,

'cause love only gets you down.

 

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop.

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop.

 

Sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down,

say, 

sucking too hard on your lollipop, 

or love's gonna get you down.

 

3. MY INTERPRETATION

You talk about life, you talk about death,

And everything in between,

Like it's nothing, and the words are easy.

You talk about me, you talk about you,

And everything I do,

Like it's something, that needs repeating.

I don't need an alibi or for you to realize,

The things we left unsaid,

Are only taking space up in our heads.

Make it my fault, win the game

Point the finger, place the blame

Address me up and down,

It doesn't matter now.

 

[chorus:]

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again.

This is not about emotion,

I don't need a reason not to care what you say,

Or what happened in the end.

This is my interpretation,

It don't, don't make sense.

 

The first two weeks turn into ten,

I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen,

Does it really matter?

If half of what you said is true,

And half of what I didn't do could be different,

Would it make it better?

If we forget the things we know.

Would we have somewhere to go?

The only way is down, I can see that now.

 

[chorus:]

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again.

This is not about emotion,

I don't need a reason not to care what you say,

Or what happened in the end.

This is my interpretation,

It don't, don't make sense.

 

It's really not such a sacrifice

 

[chorus:]

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again.

This is not about emotion,

I don't need a reason not to care what you say,

Or what happened in the end.

This is my interpretation,

It don't, don't make sense.

 

And it don't have to make no sense to you at all,

'Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

 

          

4. LOVE TODAY

Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di

 

Everybody's gonna love today,

Gonna love today, gonna love today.

Everybody's gonna love today, gonna love today.

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

 

I've been crying for so long,

Fighting tears just to carry on,

But now, but now, it's gone away.

 

Hey girl why can't you carry on,

Is it 'cause you're just like your mother,

A little tight, like to tease for fun,

Well you ain't gonna tease no other,

Gonna make you a lover.

 

Everybody's gonna love today,

love today, love today.

Everybody's gonna love today,

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

Girl in the blue with the big bust on,

Big bust on, big bust on.

Wait till your mother and your papa's gone,

Papa's gone

Momma, momma papa, shock shock me,

Shock shock me, shock shock.

 

Everybody's gonna love today,

Gonna love today, gonna love today

I said,

Everybody's gonna love today, gonna love today,

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

 

Carolina sits on ninety five

Give her a dollar and she'll make you smile.

 

Hook her, book her, nook her, walk away!

 

Girl dresses like a kid for fun,

Licks her lips like they're something other,

Tries to tell you life has just begun,

But you know she's getting something other

Than the love from her mother

 

Everybody's gonna love today,

Love today, love today

Everybody's gonna love today,

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

 

Girl in the blue with the big bust on,

Big bust on, big bust on.

Wait till your mother and your papa's gone,

Shock shock me, shock shock.

Love love me, love love me, love love.

 

Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di..... 

 

 

5. RELAX (TAKE IT EASY)

Took a ride to the end of the lane

Where no one ever goes.

Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know.

But the pain and the longing's the same.

When you're dying

Now I’m lost and I’m screaming for help alone.

 

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

 

It’s as if I’m scared.

It’s as if I’m terrified.

It’s as if I'm scared.

It’s as if I’m playing with fire.

Scared.

It’s as if I’m terrified.

Are you scared?

Are we playing with fire?

 

Relax

(Love) There is an answer to the darkest times.

It’s clear we don’t understand it, but the last thing on my mind

Is to leave you.

I believe that we’re in this together.

Don’t scream – there are so many roads left.

 

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

 

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

 

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

 

It’s as if I’m scared.

It’s as if I’m terrified.

It’s as if I'm scared.

It’s as if I’m playing with fire.

(Relax)

Scared.

It’s as if I’m terrified.

Are you scared?

Are we playing with fire?

 

Relax

Relax

6. ANY OTHER WORLD

In any other world

You could tell the difference

And let it all unfurl

Into broken remnants

 

Smile like you mean it

And let yourself let go

 

Cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man

Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in

Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart

Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in

To the world you thought you lived in

 

I tried to live alone

But lonely is so lonely, alone

So human as I am

I had to give up my defences

 

So I smiled and tried to mean it

To let myself let go

 

Cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man

Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in

Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart

Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in

To the world you thought you lived in

 

Cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man

Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in

Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart

Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in

To the world you thought you lived in

 

Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in [x2]

Say goodbye

 

In any other world

You could tell the difference
