For You lyrics - CeeLo Green
If I fall in love with you
I need to know that you will love me too
Nobody else for you
And if I give my heart away
I must be sure that I will be the one
The only one for you
If you're only playing games
I don't want to feel a thing
I think I'm proud enough
But you know I'm wanting to believe
You're the one who gave to me
The bright shining miracle of love
And if I fall in love with you
I'll need to know that you love me too
Nobody else for you
Oh...
Oh, promise me there'll be no games
I don't want anything
I have cried enough
I really want to believe
You're the one who gave to me
That shining miracle of love
Oh, if I fall in love with you
I need to know that you will love me too
Nobody else for you
Absolutely no one else for you
Oh, no one else
For you
Lead Me lyrics - CeeLo Green
It doesn't matter where we started
Just as long as we finish together
It's a ballad for the brokenhearted
Make you feel as light as a feather
One foot in front of the other
You always gotta take your time
You just gotta trust your lover
Everything will work out fine
Lead me, by example
Lead me, 'cause I've been goin' nowhere
Lead me, to the promise land
I'll follow you through fire
You're more than a friend
What if we just kept on walkin',
And count the cracks along the ground?
And quitting's crossed my mind quite often
But we've come too far to turn around
Baby, you don't have to worry
And darlin' you don't have to fear
If we ever feelin' worry
Love will lead us both from it
So lead me, by example
Lead me, 'cause I've been goin' nowhere
Lead me, to the promise land
I'll follow you through fire
You're more than my friend
Lead me, by example
Lead me, 'cause I've been goin' nowhere
Lead me, to the promise land
I'll follow you through fire
You're more than my friend
Doesn't matter where we started
As long as we finish together
I said, it doesn't matter where we started
As long as we finish together
Lead me, by example, darlin'
Lead me, baby I ain't goin' nowhere
Lead me, to my promise land
I'll follow you through fire
You're more than a friend
Lead me
Lead me
Lead me
Show me the way
Lead me
Little Mama lyrics - CeeLo Green
Little mama
You're as perfect as I dreamed you would always be
Little mama
Every part of your mother and the heart of me
I was running like a freight train
Working like a hurricane
Everything seemed like a blur
Then me and your mother focused on eachother
I blinked my eyes and there you were
My little mama
You're as perfect as I dreamed you would always be
Little mama
You're a present that the heavens gave to me
Ah yeah
Alright
Well, it was barbie dolls and dresses
Birthdays and messes
A house cluttered up with toys
That was prom nights and makeup
Heartaches and breakups
Make me wanna kill those boys
My little mama
You're as perfect as I dreamed you would always be
Little mama
Every part of your mother and the heart of me
Ah yeah
Ain't nobody ever gonna hurt my baby
You know that's the way I am
You're growing up to be a real special lady
It's gonna take a special man
If he wants to take your hand
A little mama
You're as perfect as I dreamed you would always be
Little mama
You're a present that the heavens gave to me
Ah yeah
Alright
Ah yeah
Precious little girl
Daddy loves you
Alright
Daddy loves you
I'll always love you
Don't Lie lyrics - CeeLo Green
Even when the child is bad, you know, you can't complain
And even when they do you wrong, you love them just the same
When you look them in the eye they're as plain to see
You're staring in the eyes of a child that you used to be
If you love them
Then show them you give them what you owe them
But whatever you do
Don't lie
Don't lie
Right before you eyes
All grown up and gone away
And it all depends on you if they are gonna stay
If you love them
Then show them you give them what you owe them
But whatever you do
Don't lie
If you don't listen
You lose them
You can choose you or choose them
But whatever you do
Don't lie
Don't lie
I Wonder How Love Feels lyrics - CeeLo Green
How can you really know
If you're just spinning wheels
They're moving awfully slow
I wonder how love feels
Where does the story go?
Where do I go from here?
Where are the signs that show
I wonder how love feels
I don't mind wasting my time
As long as you know it's all I have
The only thing that keeps me from crying
Is to look in the mirror and laugh
All this pain I ignore
All of the joy it steals
I've always wanted more
I wonder how love feels
I don't mind wasting my time
As long as you know it's all I have
The only thing that keeps me from crying
Is to just look in the mirror and laugh
All this pain I ignore
All of the joy it steals
I've always wanted more
I wonder how love feels
People Watching lyrics - CeeLo Green
Sitting on the front porch
With a cold one in my hand
People watching (Watching)
A young couple on the corner
Looking like forever
And sweet talking (Talking)
There's an old man with a cane
I think Jethro is his name
He's having a little trouble
While he's street crossing
But I'm not going nowhere
I'm just sitting right here
People watching
Christina in her tight dress
High heels on, oh, I guess
She's going downtown (Downtown)
The old men all aflutter
Elbowing each other
When she comes around (Comes around)
Mmh, mmh, oh
I think my beer is getting low
Why does that seem to happen to me so often?
But I ain't going nowhere
I'm just sitting right here
People watching
Everybody's got a story
Everybody's got a song
I could sit here forever
While the parade keeps marching
On, and on, and on
All along
People watching
Everybody's got a story
Everybody's got a song
I could sit here forever
While the parade keeps marching
On, and on, and on
All along
People watching
I said, "Wonder if there's someone watching me while
I'm people watching"
It's better than anything that's on TV
People watching
You Gotta Do It All lyrics - CeeLo Green
Gotta be my friend and my lover
Gotta be my sister and my brother
You gotta be a helpin' hand
To catch me when I fall
I hate to put pressure on you
You gotta do it all
You got to be my mother and my father
When you see me tryin'
You try a little harder
Gotta always be willing to answer when I call
Hate to put pressure on you, baby
But you gotta do it all
See I'm not ashamed to say I need you
And I'm not ashamed to say that I need you
Be my reason and rhyme
I'm gonna need you my whole life
Whole lifetime
Just hit me up and make me feel 10 feet tall
Hate to put pressure on you
You've got to do it all
You understand what I'm sayin'?
Mmm... I'm gonna tell you one more time
I'm not ashamed to say that I need you
No, I'm not ashamed to say that I need you
Be my friend and my lover
Be my sister and my brother
I need a helping' hand sometime
To catch me when I fall
Oh, I don't mean to put pressure on you
You got to do it all
Don't wanna put pressure on you baby
You gotta do it all
Doing It All Together lyrics - CeeLo Green
I need, need you
You need me too
That means
We're doin' it all together
I'm here, you're there
You're kind and fair
That means
We're doin' it all together
Promises, promises
You just can't promise
Then take it away
If you're a liar
Then just 'cause you're beautiful
It's not okay
Through wind and rain
My friend, we've changed
But we still remain
Doin' it all together
You see...
Promises, promises
You just can't promise
Then take it away
If you're a liar
Then just 'cause you're beautiful
It's not okay
'Cause I need, need you
You need me too
That means
We're doin' it all together
Doin' it all together
Doin' it all together
Doin' it all together
Doin' it all together
Slow Down lyrics - CeeLo Green
Slow down
I'm losin' control of my heart
Slow down
I knew it was you from the start
It doesn't matter how long it takes
As long as I'm with you
Lyin' here 'til the daylight breaks
Lovin' the whole night through
Slow down
I'm losin' control of my mind
Slow down
It's only a matter of time
When I'm away I can feel you there
Watchin' over me
I've found a love that's beyond compare
The way it's meant to be
Slow down
Slow down (Slow down)
I'm losin' control of my heart
Slow down (Slow down)
I knew it was you from the start
Slow down (Slow down)
Slow down (Slow down)
Down With The Sun lyrics - CeeLo Green
I'm getting older
There's no time to waste
Mmm... the inevitability that I must face
But before it's all said and done
And there's no where left that I can run
I'm going
Going down with the sun
I'm weary
Tired of chasing the dream
And I'm burning
Trying to blow off some steam
But before it's all said and done
And there's no where left that I can run
I'm going
Going down with the sun
I've been exiled
Another high another low
The punished still here
Our minds already gone
Calling this loneliness helps me hold
But before it's all said and done
And there's no where left that I can run
I'm going
Going down with the sun
Oh baby
Oh baby
Thinking Out Loud lyrics - CeeLo Green
I miss you, miss you
Though you haven't gone away
I miss you
Begging, pleading, praying
That I get the chance to kiss you
Guess I'm rambling and thinking out loud all alone
Can't imagine living this life on my own
I'm sorry, sorry
Tell me what I have to do and I'll do it
Mercy, lover, let me make it up to you
I will prove it
Guess I'm rambling and thinking out loud all alone
Can't imagine living this life on my own
On my own
I miss you, miss you
Though you haven't gone away
I still miss you
Begging, pleading, praying
That I get the chance to kiss you
Guess I'm rambling and thinking out loud all alone
Can't imagine living this life on my own
Guess I'm rambling and thinking out loud
I'm sorry, please forgive me
That's my greatest fear, darling
I love you too much
Love you way too much
Please...
Don't ever leave me, baby
Guess I'm rambling and thinking out loud
Oh yes, I am
Going crazy...
Crazy about you, woman
The Way lyrics - CeeLo Green
There's no civilization in sight
We're losing the light of day
Even in the darkest nights
I'm gonna find my way
Said, I'm gonna find my way
Another broken neon sign
The circling of the birds of prey
They know, it's gonna take some time
And I'm gonna my find my way
Said, I'm gonna find my way
Find my way if it takes forever
Find my way where I belong
We will make a life together
Until then nowhere is home
Until then nowhere is home
Find my way if it kills me
Til' my name is carved in stone
We will make a life together
Until then nowhere is home
Until then nowhere is home
Heart Blanche Intro lyrics - CeeLo Green
Well, here I am
Take me
Look in my eyes
You'll see the soul
Underneath my celebrity skin
I'm not afraid
To open up wider
Please be my guest and come on in
You'll feel right at home
Inside my song
Shelter from the stormy weather
Body and soul, body and soul
Blood will bring it all together
I'm going to lift it up
And lift it off
Higher
Don't depend on luck
I'm driven by what I desire
I'm going to live it up
And lift it off
Higher
Don't depend on luck
Be driven by what you desire
Est. 1980's lyrics - CeeLo Green
They turned me on...
I fell asleep in my clothes
Watching videos
I was up all night
I was too excited to go to sleep
When I was 9 years old
I watched Solid Gold
Everything was alright
Sure 'nough put something inside of me
I was made in the 80s
I was made in the 80s
I heard the Culture Club
And I fell in love
They were singing to me
And Billy Idol was real rock 'n' roll
I loved Duran Duran
And did the Safety Dance
In front of my TV
And all the greatest songs are from Billy Joel
We were made in the 80s
We were made in the 80s
Madonna was obscene
And Michael Jackson was King
And hair metal was God
The unofficial fifth member of the Mötley Crüe
RUN-D.M.C
Looked just like me
God bless your heart
I owe everything I am to all of you
I was made in the 80s (ah yeah, ah right)
Made in the 80s (ah yeah, ah right)
Dance
Come on
Dance with me
Mother May I lyrics - CeeLo Green
[Ad-Lib]
Gather round [?]
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
Mommy just listen
Something in the wind keeps calling me
And I'm old enough now to answer
I want everything that’s mine
Give it all to me I need your, your blessing
Cause your baby was born to be out of control
It'll help me make it home safely
But I'm still not sure If I wanna live to be old
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
Now mommy I know you're watching
I've been a good boy, I'll never bring you shame
I'll never know all your secrets
But it's impossible for us not to be the same
Now I've got one chance
To do whatever it is I'm supposed to do
When you think I'm ready
Please make sure that I come back home with you
Oh
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
Say I wanna be alive tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
One way you can show you really love me
Just to let me go
But make sure that you tell my heavenly father
I said hell
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
Say I wanna be alive tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
Working Class Heroes (Work) lyrics - CeeLo Green
Get up, get out, go get that money
It’s time to work
Up early in the mornin’
I’m ready to go
It smells like struggle
When you open up the door
Everybody gotta grind
Got hustle in my blood
A little bit is not enough
I go to work
Said hold up wait one minute
I go to work
I get out there and I go get it
I go to work
I don’t leave ‘til I come home with it
I go to work, hey
It’s the concrete jungle
So you got to understand can’t judge no body
Gotta get it how you can
Gotta handle your business when the baby gotta eat
Gotta get a real job
Or get it off the street
I go to work
Said hold up wait one minute
I go to work
I get out there and I go get it
I go to work
I don’t leave ‘til I come home with it
I go to work, hey
Calling all ladies don’t be shy
Don’t let the moment pass you by
Grab your girls get on the floor
This is what you’ve been waiting for
WORK
There ain’t no problem that music can’t solve
And I work it out, alright
If you wanna have fun when the weekend comes
Let’s work it out
I got to work (let’s work, let’s work)
I got to work (let’s work, let’s work)
I got to work (let’s work, let’s work)
I got to work (let’s work, let’s work)
Hey, hey
Now let me see you work
Said hold up wait one minute
I go to work
I get out there and I go get it
I go to work
Don’t leave ‘til I come home with it
I go to work, hey, hey
Now let me see yah work
Tonight lyrics - CeeLo Green
Guiding star, shining down on me
Destiny, it's my destiny
To laugh and cry and live and die and pray
I've been thinking bout it lately
Trying to find a way to live forever
Now wouldn't that be amazing
But don't you ever say never
Say I wanna be wild and I wanna be free
Knowing that nothing is promised to me
It feels even better than your favorite sin
To dance like somebody is watching
Tonight, I'm living the dream
And I know what it means
Tonight, we're dancing all over the world
And everybody is a star
Yes we are
Oh good lord, I'm ready
Ready to get to move it
I wanna do something
Something that's worth doing
I wanna be wild, I wanna be free
Knowing that nothing is promised to me
It feels even better than your favorite sin
To dance like somebody is watching
Tonight, I'm living the dream
And I know what it means
Tonight, we're dancing all over the world
And everybody is a star
Yes we are
[x2]
Why waste your time waiting on forever
I say forever can wait
Living the moment as long as you own it
Forever is maybe too late
Tonight, I'm living the dream
And I know what it means
Tonight, we're dancing all over the world
And everybody is a star
Yes we are
Robin Williams lyrics - CeeLo Green
Oh what a night, oh what a night, tears in my eyes, staring up at the sky in disbelief
"I've got a voice in my head, voice in my head"; that's what it said, all we really need is some comic relief
But I'm afraid of not being able to laugh anymore (Oh)
What's life going to become once we don't have anymore heroes?
We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away
We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away
Laugh the pain away
John Belushi knew you and me better than we knew ourselves and we all listen to Richard Pryor (Ya)
I think don't make Philip Seymour Hoffman often, now he's one of the things we lost in the fire (Lord, yes)
Now I'm afraid of not being able to laugh anymore (Oh)
What's life going to become once we don't have anymore heroes?
We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away
We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away
(Oh) Chris Farley can you hear me?
(Ah) Bernie can you hear me?
We don't know what the next man's going through, I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams
We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away
Phil Hartman can you hear me? (Oh, yes)
Robin can you hear me?
Sign Of The Times lyrics - CeeLo Green
[Hook:]
I wonder, could it be you and I are a sign of the times?
Why can't we open our eyes to the sign of the times?
[Verse 1:]
When I feel like I'm all out of love, and my time is up
It scares me, judge us fairly
If only music could make us understand
I swear sometimes I hear a ghost in the radio
I went from station to station searchin' for somewhere safe to go
I'm not the only one that's seen it
So there's no question, I believe it
I'm not crazy
Cause I can't move 'til it makes me
Please try to save as many as you can
[Hook:]
Could it be you and I are a sign of the times?
Why can't we open our eyes to the sign of the times?
[Bridge:]
Well it's something you can't deny, go 'head and ask me why
For the meaning, and if you think you're dreaming
Oh I have got the perfect song for you
[Verse 2:]
If I time it just right, I won't have to say it again
Will my 2 cents be enough for you to play it again?
I put some weight on it
Repetition can change a human condition
Oh you need to listen, if it's the last thing that you do
[Hook:]
Could it be you and I are a sign of the times?
Why can't we open our eyes to the sign of the times?
[Bridge:]
Well it's something you can't deny, go 'head and ask me why
For the meaning, and if you think you're dreaming
Oh I have got the perfect song for you
[Hook x2:]
Could it be you and I are a sign of the times?
Why can't we open our eyes to the sign of the times?
Ceelo Green Sings The Blues lyrics - CeeLo Green
La La La La
Ooooooo
Hello My name Is CeeLo Green and I’ve go the blues
Cause don’t nobody love me no more
Maybe just alittle bit more than you did yesterday
But not like you loved my before
See I’m tired, so tired
But I can’t please everybody

Don’t nobody appreciate me
My heart is filled with unconditional love
How could anyone hate me?
See I’m tired, so tired
Maybe the world will be better off without me
But I try

My name is CeeLo Green and I’ve got the blues
I don’t know what else to do
The only reason I’m alive right now
I’m living for the love of you
But I’m tired so tired
God bless my soul
Cause I try

Music To My Soul lyrics - CeeLo Green
Where I come from
I've seen things that you wouldn't believe
But once your heart is there, you can never leave
I wrote this here for everyone to see
It was calling me, kept calling me
Even in darkness
Me and my fam from the dungeon found that light
And even in darkness
Despite what was wrong, everything's gonna be alright
Said whoa, when it gets real cold
We got fire and that's music to my soul
Said whoa, when the lights get low
We burn brighter and that's music to my soul
Even in darkness
Well look at me now, I'm everything that I wanted to be
But once your heart is there, you can never leave
A star in the sky for everyone to see
You can follow me, follow me
Even in darkness
Me and my fam from the dungeon found that light
And even in darkness
Despite what was wrong, everything turned out alright
Said whoa, when it gets real cold
We got fire and that's music to my soul
Said whoa, when the lights get low
We burn brighter and that's music to my soul
Well we got Jo and Mo and Gipp and 'Lo
And yes Big Rube, and Backbone, Organ No is Pat, Rico and Ray
And we've got the Witchdoctor and yes Cool Breeze
And all the young homies from the dungeon east
I can't forget my brothers, Big and Dre
Even in darkness
Me and my fam from the dungeon found that light
And even in darkness
Despite what was wrong, everything turned out alright
Said whoa, when it gets real cold
We got fire and that's music to my soul
Said whoa, when the lights get low
We burn brighter and that's music to my soul
Said whoa, when it gets real cold
We got fire and that's music to my soul
Said whoa, when the lights get low
We burn brighter and that's music to my soul
Said whoa
Race Against Time lyrics - CeeLo Green
This is our song
Sing it with me children
Nobody lives forever
So come on let’s have some fun
And I want a happy ending
Just like everyone wants one
And life would be sweeter
If we all had somewhere we could run
Oh don’t you dare tell me what can’t be done
They say you don’t have to grow up
But you’ve got to grow older
It only hurts when I laugh
You see
Cause I’ll always be young, I’ll always be young
In my mind
But I’m racing against the time
(alright, yea yea yea, na na na, yea yea yea)
Never mind the mirror in your room
Be who you feel
The grounds under your feet
But you won’t get there standing still
Peak and valley is a promise
But don’t you stop until
Oh and I’ll make it, yes I’ll make it, yes I will
Had a fight with my father time
About my mother’s nature
That makes me destiny’s child
Cause see I’ll always be young, I’ll always be young
In my mind
I’m racing against the time
(alright, yea yea yea, na na na, yea yea yea)
I’m racing against the time
(alright, yea yea yea, na na na)
I won’t keep any secrets from you, baby
I’m a sinner (Alright)
And I may have lost your war of words
But hey now I'm still a winer
Does wearing your heart on your sleeve really mean
That it is isn’t in you?
Looking good but you aren't that great of a pretender
When everything is said and done
I'll be alive in my own son
SO I'll be there when his son has one
I'll always be young young in my mind
(alright, yea yea yea, na na na
Alright, yea yea yea, na na na
Alright, yea yea yea, na na na
Alright, yea yea yea, na na na)
Racing against the time
Better Late Than Never lyrics - CeeLo Green
It might sound crazy
But I think I recognize her from a dream
She’s the most beautiful girl
That I’ve never seen Instantly
I'm in love she’s the same as she was
At the thing that she does
I just smile and I stare
Should go over and see
If she remembers me
Cause there still seems to be
One more empty chair
It's destiny if you believe in that type of thing
Oh
And I was wondering where’s your wedding ring
Let’s get reacquainted
This is nice ain't it
You look beautiful tonight
And this could be the beginning of the rest of your life
And if it were left up to me
I would have already met her
But it’s better
(Better)
It’s better late than never
I would love a perfect woman
But you can’t create her
Now see a friend of a friend of a friend
Used to date her
He used to brag and he’d boast
How he loves her the most
And they seemed so close
And in love at the time
But soon after she found
He was getting around
She deserves to be loved
But one at a time
At first he felt like it couldn’t be explained
Oh but I love you girl
And I am not ashamed
Oooh
Oh I can’t wait
Step out on faith
Love and trust
And he ended up being happy for the both of us
If it were left up to me
I would’ve already met her
But it’s better
(Better)
It’s better late than never
And we should cherish
Oh this moment together
Cause it’s better
It’s better late than never
I've been waiting
Waiting and waiting
You’re mine baby
If it were left up to me
I would’ve already met her
But it’s better
(Better)
It’s better late than never
If it were left up to me
I would’ve already met her
But it’s better
(Better)
It’s better late than never
Smells Like Fire lyrics - CeeLo Green

Ooh
Everybody’s alright, ooh, baby
Baby don’t you show shame at all
My back’s up against the wall
And we’re grinding
Till it smells like fire babe
And it’s gonna burn forever
Just as long as we’re together
We’ll be grinding
'Till it smells like fire babe
I said you
And me
We
Are starting to smell like fire babe
I said you
And me
We
Are starting to smell like fire
Purple Hearts (Soldier of Love) lyrics - CeeLo Green
I brought home scars from the battle
But a woman’s scorn is worse than any war
In my absence her heart hadn’t grown any fonder
Apparently she’s forgotten what I’m fighting for
I said I would be
Behind enemy lines
Would’ve died a thousand times
And you doubt me
Without even thinking twice
My life I’d sacrifice
But you doubt me, why
And why not acknowledge me
When I’ve been a soldier for your love
I consider you my duty
I have not come all this way not to win
Persevering for our love’s survival
Living each day just to fight again
I said I went
Behind enemy lines
Would’ve died a thousand times
But you doubt me
Why, without even thinking twice
My life I’d sacrifice
But you doubt me
And why not acknowledge me
I’ve been a soldier for your love
I said I went
Behind enemy lines
Would’ve died a thousand times
But you doubt me
Why, without even thinking twice
My life I’d sacrifice
But you doubt me
And why not acknowledge me
I’ve been a soldier for your love
Ooh our love
Thorns lyrics - CeeLo Green
Why won't you give me a reason why?
Babe, I'm begging you please
Oh, I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find
Of the bouquet I chose
The most beautiful rose
And with my love I proposed
And round and round it goes
And up from the ground it grows
Eventually dies so slow
That's why I need to know
Why won't you give me a reason why?
Babe, I'm begging you please
Oh, I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find
I find it hard to face
The one rose I put in a vase
Not knowing you need more space
Reminds me that I can feel
Reminds me that I can still heal
Cause I smell your fragrance still
And I always will
Why won't you give me a reason why?
Babe, I'm begging you please
Oh, I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find
Won't you give me a reason why?
You're making a grown man cry
I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find
They say that real men are not supposed to cry
Next time give me fake roses so they'll never die
Why won't you give me a reason why?
Babe, I'm begging you please
Oh, I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find
Won't you give me a reason why?
You're making a grown man cry
I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find
The Glory Games lyrics - CeeLo Green
For the glory of love
I know exactly what I’d do
I’d fight until the death of me
And be a champion for you
I’d hike the hillside for your heart
I’d swim the seas for your soul
And I promise when I’m done
It will be the greatest love story ever told
I’d run the sands in my bare feet
Oh victory’s so sweet
For your every heartbeat
I will courageously compete
At the sound of the gun
I’ll refuse second to none
I’ll be waving my flag proudly
Once I've won
It’s the glory of love
It’s the glory of your love
The glory of love
The glory of your love
To the finish line
I finally made it
A medal of honor to commemorate it
No split decision could be debated
I hurried where the others hesitated
Let’s go where no crowd will be
So only you can be proud of me
Grab you and I hold you close
You’re the trophy that means the most
Oh baby
It’s you, it’s you
Oh baby
It’s really you
For the glory of love
For the glory of your love
For the glory of love
For the glory of love
Oh glory of love
Glory of your love
Oh glory of love
The glory of your love
Taxi Cab Confessions (Sign Of The Times) lyrics - CeeLo Green
I wonder
[Chorus:]
Could it be you and I are a sign of the times?
In the darkness it shines like a sign of the times
When I feel like I'm all out of love, and my time is up
It scares me, judge us fairly
If only music could make us understand
I swear sometimes I hear a ghost in the radio
I went from station to station lookin' for somewhere safe to go
I'm not the only one seen it
So I know I'm not crazy
Cause I can't move 'til it makes me
Please try to save as many as you can
[Chorus]
Well it's something you can't deny
Go 'head and ask me why
For the meaning
And if you think you're dreaming
Oh I've got the perfect song for you
If I time it just right, I won't have to say it again
Will my 2 cents be enough for you to play it again?
I put some weight on it
You see, repetition can change the human condition
Oh listen if it's the last thing that you do
[Chorus]
Rhythm Of Life lyrics - CeeLo Green
Come on
Come on
[Chorus:]
The groove is our guiding light to get us through the night
So hold me close and we will dance to the rhythm of life
Oh and I [?] lifetime is not waitin'
N-n-no, time's not waitin', n-n-n-no, no time's not waitin'
Either dance or die and that is the only ultimatum
N-n-no, time's not waitin', n-n-n-no, no time's not waitin'
So dance up on your fella
Cause the beat is our borrowed time
We are inexperienced
A part of some grand design
[Chorus]
What are you so afraid of?
We are your family
Everybody's waitin'
So come on try to dance with me
[Chorus]
Groove
The rhythm
Dance
The rhythm
Life
The rhythm
Think about that
Who Ever Loves Me lyrics - CeeLo Green
If some strangers all opened up and invited me
I can't promise that I won't
And she may be someone you can only see in the dark
You may care, but I don't
See I'm a simple man
And you don't have to understand
I love whoever loves me
Said I love whoever loves me
She could be purple with pink polka dots
But if she loved me, truly loved me, why not?
See I'm a simple man
And you don't have to understand
I love whoever loves me
Said I love whoever loves me
Discovery Channel lyrics - CeeLo Green
Well I walked to the ends of the Earth
In the burnin' hot Sun and the freezin' cold
And I found her
Yes I did
I'm talkin' 'bout a beast of a woman that'll moan so strong
Hiccup would draw a crowd around
Hey look what I discovered
She lives, she lives
Why would I ever be selfish about her?
I'd share her with the world
It's a crime to be selfish about her
Man is not her maker, she's a mystery
She is precious, not a pet and she is wild and free
And she'll never bite the hand that feeds her
And she knows her way home
One shot then she howled at the moon
Then I leaned in and licked her wound
And kissed it
Then I sang her a song
How could something so strong, be so submissive?
Hey look what I discovered
She lives, she lives
Why would I ever be selfish about her?
I'd share her with the world
It's a crime to be selfish about her
Oh look at the magic that your mother's done
Bless us all and give birth to another one
I'll make sure you have shelter
And this will always be home
Chocolatte lyrics - CeeLo Green
Tonight we're gonna do something a little different
I said don't even look at me if you love her
I am one sexy mothafucker
Once you have me you won't want another
Sailors on the ship hollerin' 'bout hubba hubba
Ooh baby, ooh, what you wan' do?
I want teach you somethin' new
When I stand up in the [?] he be like comment t'allez vous
Oh I can speak another language too
[Chorus:]
My whole body is chocolatte
Be careful or you'll get some on your face
Oh wanna, wanna, wanna, bang, bang
Here, have a taste
I think you should go 'head and keep her
Why? Because she's so much cheaper
But if I ask, and he go get it
There's only one banana, maybe we can split
Ooh baby, ooh, what you wan' do?
I want teach you somethin' new
But it's not only you they wanna oochi coochi too
Every day it's like it's deja vu
[Chorus x2]
Big Girls lyrics - CeeLo Green
And I know that's right
[Chorus:]
She may be a lot of woman
There's a lot more work to do
But one thing's for certain
Big girls need love too
Hey big mama what you doin' tonight?
Are you gonna go my way?
Always got somethin' good to eat
Always got somewhere to stay
Well you're not too big, you're not too small
I think you're wearin' it well
She's the type to come over and cuddle with
When the winter is cold as hell
[Chorus]
Well she's man's best friend in the midnight hour
No place I'd rather be
Hell she told me I could move right on in
And live there forever for free
Well if lovin' her is wrong, I don't wanna be right
You know it ain't no crime
No it ain't exactly a ménage à trois
But it's still like two at a time
[Chorus]
Ain't nothin' wrong
It's got to be strong
Cause they can go all night long
So hold on
[Chorus]
Family Ties (Wonder Woman) lyrics - CeeLo Green
You are just as beautiful as the day we met
Baby
Seems like a million years ago, you haven't changed yet
It's amazing
Why do you keep loving me the way you do?
Tell me
And I watch you give your all, stumble and fall
But never fail me
[Chorus:]
Ooh you're making me wonder about you
Wonderin' how my life'd be without you
Such a nightmare
You're making me wonder about you
Wonderin' how my life'd be without you
You're an angel by my bed, watching over me
When I'm sleepin'
And you're the voice of reason that keeps on echoin' in my head
When I'm cheatin'
Said why do you keep on loving me, the way you do?
Tell it
I watch you give your all, stumble and fall
But you never fail me
[Chorus x2]
You're A Good Man Cee Lo Brown lyrics - CeeLo Green
Let's take a little trip down Memory Lane, everybody
Let's see if the future could follow me that far
Come just the way you are
Now everybody knows how the story goes, yes you do now
You're starting to get that little tingle down your spine
Cause you know it's time
[Chorus:]
Dance, little children
Dance, little children
Dance, little children
Come on everybody, won't you clap your hands together
Have a little fun, let me make you feel alright
Until you're burnin' bright
I said they're gonna be playin' our song forever
No standin' around, sayin' you don't know how
You're s'posed to do it now
[Chorus]
Gon' and smile cause you've come a long way, baby
No matter where you're from, it's all about where you're at
You just remember that
[Chorus]
Powers That Be lyrics - CeeLo Green
[Chorus:]
It's a lie, nobody's free
We're bound by the powers that be
Yeah you got a job that you hate
It's functionin' on a fixed rate
Workin' 24 hours a day only to get nowhere fast
And all the ass kissers are passing you by
[Chorus]
Yeah we're all doing time on planet Earth
All the way up until that day they put you in the dirt
But just because your money can buy you some time
Does not mean that you do not have to die
Why?
For now say goodbye
