All Day Love Afair lyrics - Cee lo green
[Cee-Lo 1st verse]
Hey, the sun is shining looking like another wonderful day
Look through my sweet collection trying to find some good music to play
While I'm getting ready to face the world
Doing what I must do..know sugar
Nothing compares to waking up this morning to you
[Chorus]
Good morning
Baby, how you been?
Did you sleep well last night honey?
Well I'm off to work again
[Cee-Lo 2nd verse]
Listen I'll call you later
Maybe we can get something to eat
How about our favorite restaurant darling
Where we usually eat
I said whew! Umm um sure looking mighty fine
I can hardly wait for quitting time
[Chorus]
Good afternoon baby
I sure missed you while I was gone
But you know I got to work honey, Hey let's just do something later on
[Cee-Lo 3rd verse]
Let's go for a walk nothing gets you in the mood better than a little moonlight
Um hmm, or we can rent some movies and make it a blockbuster night, Hey
Does that sound interesting baby? Sound like an idea?
I would gladly walk you home but you're already here
[Chorus]
Good night baby
I spent the whole day with my friend
Hopefully God will wake me up baby to see you in the morning
[Bridge]
Oh child
Oh because you everything, everything, everything to me
Oh yeah girl I need your love each and everyday Hey
Hmm, child
Hhmmmmmmmmm
Good night baby
Evening News lyrics - Cee Lo Green (feat. Chazzie)
And now, the night time
Late in the evening, there is the thieving and the trickin'
And the trappin' and they ain't actin'
We make it happen, we'll get the guns on anyone's
And get to clappin' even for rappin'
Does it surprise ya? We'll readjust
And reconcile and recognize up that I'm a writer
Oh yes I write up, now open wide
And let me put the night inside ya
This is music usually confused with major motion picture
No one is stricter about it being status for scripture
No put on your gut is goin', you're wearin' what don't fit ya
You better run little one, 'cause the rhythm's gonna getcha
And when it hits ya, it usually hits somebody with ya
Make 'em risk a total eclipse of sun to get richer
Baby, a little time and something fine that'll fix ya
With shield love you forgot to remember to miss the
The nightlife, the dark side of the city
Gon' be on 24 inches, and be defenseless
The nightlife, the dark side of my heart
Where no one really knows you and no one supposed you
The nightlife, the dark side of my soul
Where if somebody crossed you, kill 'em up off you
The nightlife, the dark side of the moon
Where the sun is scared to come, give me some
Take me where the darkness is still beautiful
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
Give me the night
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
Give me the night
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
Give me the night
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha, hey it's gonna getcha
Give me the night
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
I'll be your lady, farewell the friend
I'll be honest and I'll pretend
I'll act like I love ya, I'll act like I love ya
You gotta listen to me now
Give me some now
Take me where the darkness is still beautiful
I've been runnin' since rock box, I've cocked locks
And locked blocks, and rocked rocks, and dropped tops
The obviously odd, five foot six inch guard in the flesh
I've been the best, I'll get in your chest and in the mess
In your vest and out your back without even getting out the 'llac
I lied about how I really handled that situation about the AK
I'll hit back if your lead was the only collateral you got I'll get back
Now get flat, say a prayer 'cause shorty want this shit back, sit back
This chit-chat is pitch black but you can still see what I'm sayin'
And heavy is how I weigh in, niggaz love singin' sad songs
About how bad they want to stay in, either hold out on basketball playin'
Or make use of some yay' then
Lord shooo feel good to me, I promise, I promise
Not to ever, ever leave this night life alone
This me, me too, this me and me three
Have mercy
Take me where the darkness is still beautiful
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
Give me the night
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
Give me the night
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
Give me the night
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha, hey it's gonna getcha
Give me the night
The night is gonna getcha, ahh it's gonna getcha
It's gonna getcha

Scrap Metal lyrics - Cee Lo Green (feat. Big Rube, G-Rock)
It's the real...
Hip hop... hey...
[Big Rube:]
As I lay motionless
Wondering why we so emotionally emotionless (scrap metal)
My focus is not to be the brunt of the joke in this (scrap metal)
Still played so I'm still a toy
You still afraid so I'm still a boy (something for you haters)
But as my soul this (something for you haters)
Seen many-a solstices and plenty-a equinoxes
Some if any think we equal not cause God does, but cause laws force them
But what are laws if you don't enforce them?
Unless you get it on tape
It's more suspense and mystery than a Presidio tape
Investigation more cartoon than a kid video tape
It's civil liberties rape, in Statue of Liberty shape
The American offense make you watch for the headfake
Well down with Sam I ain't
Three seconds in this paint will make any outside shooter faint
Wait for you to blink
So when you wake up and can't wake up, you know exactly who to thank
[Hook: Cee-Lo]
Oh yes I'm sure, yes I'm sure
I don't care anymore
Anything, anywhere, anytime, any place
Let's do this shit and get it over with
I'll run a boxcutter 'cross your face
I got niggaz here, I got niggaz there
Ready to get down if I make the call
I don't give a fuck if your problem is big or small
Almost anyday I could say fuck it all - fuck it all!
[G-Rock:]
Having dealings with skill
My skill, never have to kill
Fuck dead 'em in your grill
Yeah fuck nigga for real
With a posse a-standing along
Me and my nina raw chrome
Bucking straight at your dome
Ain't stoppin till the bullets gone
On that bull, cross no killa
Lay no shit round no steala
Stop touchin, my nigga I'll kill ya
And Jesus can't even hear ya
+Thrill+ ya, like Michael Jackson
Acting when the time for action
Shell gun click out my back and
Cee-Lo he strapped with a Mac-10
[Hook]
Something for you haters... (and imitators)
Something for you haters... (and purpetrators)
It's the real... hip hop... hey...
Something for you haters... (any imitators)
Something for you haters... (and purpetrators)
It's the real... hip hop... hey...
[Cee-Lo:]
See my words would be believeable, believeable but brief
I would even show you my teeth
You wouldn't even know that you had any beef
But actually I'm angry about it and I haven't had any sleep
Because of one little disrespect, it ultimately do the domino effect
Boy don't you know that I could sit with my back to you
and still have my gat to you, so natural
Close my eyes and breathe in, do that to you
And as far as anyone that's after you heh
The same goes for anyone that run up in your name
I hate ya...
[Hook]
[Cee-Lo:]
From the feet, the beat, the gat on the seat
And that shouldn't surprise you, oh I've sold some pies to
Each any every stone, since I'm obviously on
Says fifty to six-five thousand's been blown
I am something to see, yet I'm nothing to touch
I'll kill ya bout nothing, cause nothing's too much
I'll put the barrel to your baby momma belly and squeeze off two
So the world won't have to deal with another fuck nigga like you
I hate ya...
[Hook]
Something for you haters... (and imitators)
Something for you haters... (and purpetrators)
It's the real... hey...
Something for you haters... (and imitators)
Something for you haters... (and purpetrators)

Glockappella lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Brother, you've been on my mind, oh brother
We've changed over time, so, brother, I'm keeping my eyes on you
I bet you don't think I know no better but sanging the blues
Oh but brother have I got news for you, I'm something
And I know you know that I'm something too
Yeah, usually I don't get into all this battle rap shit
And all that shit's stupid but I'm gonna address it
And after I get it off my chest may God bless it
I will invest four minutes exactly for everyone
Who had the audacity to attack me
I kept quiet but perhaps I should have pushed this fire quicker
'Cause to just sit with this shit I've only gotten sicker
Yet I react without even a crack in my composure
But the only way he knows to bring this shit to a closure
I'm worthy and my associates and I named the South Dirty
And I'm even for sale in Braille, the deaf, dumb and blind have heard me
But I ain't even breathin' until I get an even 30
I could casually clap up the front of somebody's throwback jersey
You makin' me hafta talk this way, ain'tcha?
You makin' me hafta talk this way
You forcin' me to walk this way
Maybe my album will get bought this way
Niggaz slow down around me, I make 'em superstitious
And one of my vices used to be wanting to look visually vicious
But instead I use my head and I fed niggaz something nutritious
But you will appreciate what a sacrifice this is
And I know you ambitious young men, you have my best wishes
Have a piece of this pain on a platter, it's one of my best dishes
When you assassinate my character, not one remark misses
So it's gone get funky when I'm fryin' these little fishes
Fuck fakin', there has been some offense taken
But this itty bitty beef is, beneath me like bacon
But hear me when when I say, I ain't gone hate you halfway
You know me, somebody will surely owe me
When it comes to respect, I only put my family before me
And the beat ridin', oh so slowly but surely and you in danger
And I'll be strict about straight every one of you niggaz like strangers
I'll put bullet holes in anything that oppose through car doors and clothes
Amateurs and pros, hard-head niggaz and hoes, also friends and foes
Let it be known that you'll lose your life fucking around with Lo
This is my Glockapella and I'll be wearing diamonds forever
Like I'm signed to Roc-a-fella and I'ma bust two times in the sky
'Cause ain't nobody around here ready to die
But if there's more that you want, can't but one side win
And I'm damn sure ready to try motherfucker, yeah
Hold on, I'm all off the motherfucking beat, hold on
Lo crazy, Lo a'hurt somebody bad, Lo crazy, Lo a'hurt somebody dad
Decide to ride down your street and just hurt somebody bad
You know, as in house, hurt somebody's child or somebody's spouse
You see what I'm saying and you know I can be what I'm sayin'
And I got the most to lose but you steppin' on my shoes, nigga
You become a target and will remain a target until you are hit
You gone fuck around and found out that's Lo still down for it
I ain't scared of ya, never been scared of ya
If anything I'm scared for ya because I'm so ahead of ya
Take that to the head brother before I walk up on your bed brother
And paint your blood in red brother, you heard what I said, brother?
Motherfucker, I ain't mad at these niggaz, I tricked you
We got a real awful thang goin' down, getting down
There's a whole lot of talkin' going round
You best believe me before I pack up and move out of town
I will gladly gone and glock one of them down
I said, bring me the funk, I want the funk
I said, bring me the funk, give me the funk
I said bring me the funk, I can handle the funk
Just bring me the funk, bring me the funk, motherfucker
When We Were Friends lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Hey, hey, hey... hey...
Hey, hey, hey... heeey...
[Chorus:]
Ooh ask me my nigga
The only one there that'll be my nigga
And I'm gon' finally be free my nigga
But you don't have to follow me my nigga
Oh yeah it's still love my nigga
And I ain't gon' stop just because my nigga
?Daddy Paxson? always does my nigga
And always remember what it was my nigga
La da da da... la dadadadada... [x4]
[Verse 1:]
When we were friends, the days would begin and end
Went from boys to men, we boys 'til then
We know each other real, we know each other rules
And we wore each other's clothes and each other's shoes
But in an instance, the days become distance
Your path doesn't go in the same direction his went
And can't help but be scared
Of the virtually unknown up ahead (I heard what you said)
But I'll be fine
Whether it is favor or failure, it must be mine
Well he can stand still, if that's how that man feel
Cuz what can't can't and whatever can will
So I'm walking toward my future with my back to it
Hoping you look up and see me as a reason to do it
When you get grown it's a given
You damn near gotta do the same thing for a living
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
And my cousin I love him like a son cause I was him
And he think his thuggin' pleases me but it doesn't
How could I applause it when I had caused it
But if it's God's plan for him, I guess I ain't cost shit
for what I gave him - wasn't so bad I couldn't save him
Either they'll enslave him or a gun'll grave him
I still believe in him but he think I'm leavin him
When I be busy he think I'm bob-n-weavin him
I probably sound like his daddy
But over the phone, cause I ain't around - like his daddy
When we talk I wanna hear you be productive
Conversate for hours 'bout something constructive
But it never come up
With all them niggaz round your neck you ain't gon' never come up
Maybe I'm jealous cause you love them more
Can't understand what you love them for
Don't get me wrong you know I love them too
But you know who I always hold above them, you
And it ain't nobody business
I'll just make believe that music can miraculously mend this
So I'll be a sound
And then you do your thing to it and we mix it down
And make a song my nigga, cause even when I'm away I'll always be around
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey... heeey...
[Chorus:]
Ooh ask me my nigga
The only one there that'll be my nigga
And I'm gon' finally be free my nigga
But you don't have to follow me my nigga
Oh yeah it's still love my nigga
And I ain't gon' stop just because my nigga
?Daddy Paxson? always does my nigga
And always remember what it was my nigga

Sometimes lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Ladies and gentlemen, Cee-Lo
[Cee-Lo]
Peace
How y'all feel out there
That's cool
Alright
You know, sometimes I wanna rap
Sometimes I wanna sing, you know what I mean
Sometimes all it calls for is a nice mellow groove
Hit of rimshot, you know
Just get, you know, get you open
But I wanna do a piece for y'all tonight, it's called sometimes
Alright, so check it out
Sometimes a stranger can be your best friend
Sometimes being angry is the best mood
Sometimes seeing you feel good makes me feel even better
Sometimes hunger is the best food
Sometimes good just ain't good enough
And other times evil will get you even
Sometimes faith is not knowing any better
Sometimes nothing is what you believe in
Woah
Sometimes I don't even want a hit
Sometimes you fail trying
And sometimes happiness hurts worse
Sometimes people live dying
Sometimes it's the last person that makes you first
Sometimes you'll keep what you don't want
And other times you'll give away what you really need
Sometimes a rich man won't have a dollar
And all a poor man has is greed
Woah
Sometimes
Sometimes I just wanna listen
Sounds good to me
Yeah
Ay yo Lock, put them strings right here
Sometimes I don't think people know I'm as good as I really am
Now my recitings are writing over rhythm's
Regularly reinacts facts of my existance
So what proof of my expertise, many emcees know of me
Using unrequested serious infested poetry
To prevoke what persistance
For instance, I don't let the T.V. screen come in between my daily routine
At a spot where me and my boy went
Someone interrupted our enjoyment
What do you know, an out of work emcee looking for employment
But I'm still curteous with my greeting, brother I'm eating
And his style sounded similar to someone elses
So evidently he's been cheating
But I couldn't question the destiny in which we meet
So, you guessed it, I suggested that he just have a seat
And then I explained to him that I remained in the mean time
Mastering mysterious methods of writing
Finding my piece of mind with soft music and moonlighting
Then supernaturaly I forsee the beginning stages
And then eventually pages get filled completely
You see, I dive into the depths of my soul
Seeking to explore the hidden treasure of a pure literature
While these others are unsure
Being that the deepness makes them doubtful
Deliberatly delaying
Saying they'll settle for whatever washes toward the shore
Delirous from dilusion
My feelings were no more direct so the conclusion is seclusion
Because mixed belief create confusion
To remain plain and simplistic, realistic
Accurate, articulate and absolutely artistic
Uninhibited, unadulterated, unstoppable
Unfuckwittable and unforgettable
But since I've been granted the power of choice
Let God bet the voice he is
So all the credibility be his
So let these be words of wisdom and in the same breath be warning
God I shine like Sunday morning
Woah
Sometimes
See you next time
[Cee-Lo]
Peace
How y'all feel out there
That's cool
Alright
You know, sometimes I wanna rap
Sometimes I wanna sing, you know what I mean
Sometimes all it calls for is a nice mellow groove
Hit of rimshot, you know
Just get, you know, get you open
But I wanna do a piece for y'all tonight, it's called sometimes
Alright, so check it out

Sometimes being angry is the best mood
Sometimes seeing you feel good makes me feel even better
Sometimes hunger is the best food
Sometimes good just ain't good enough
And other times evil will get you even
Sometimes faith is not knowing any better
Sometimes nothing is what you believe in
Woah
Sometimes I don't even want a hit
Sometimes you fail trying
And sometimes happiness hurts worse
Sometimes people live dying
Sometimes it's the last person that makes you first
Sometimes you'll keep what you don't want
And other times you'll give away what you really need
Sometimes a rich man won't have a dollar
And all a poor man has is greed
Woah

Then supernaturaly I forsee the beginning stages
And then eventually pages get filled completely
You see, I dive into the depths of my soul
Seeking to explore the hidden treasure of a pure literature
While these others are unsure
Being that the deepness makes them doubtful
Deliberatly delaying
Saying they'll settle for whatever washes toward the shore
Delirous from dilusion
My feelings were no more direct so the conclusion is seclusion
Because mixed belief create confusion
To remain plain and simplistic, realistic
Accurate, articulate and absolutely artistic
Uninhibited, unadulterated, unstoppable
Unfuckwittable and unforgettable
But since I've been granted the power of choice
Let God bet the voice he is
So all the credibility be his
So let these be words of wisdom and in the same breath be warning
God I shine like Sunday morning
Woah
Sometimes
See you next time
Let's Stay Together lyrics
I'm tryin' to get the feelin'
I have already seen my future
And it looks exactly like you
And being in love is sure enough a battle
But I am determined to fight on through
Now some people might consider me a star or somethin'
But shit, they need to shine the light on you
If loving you is wrong
I'm sorry but right won't do, I wanna
Live, live, live, live together
Baby, we can make it but we got to chase it
We got to live, live, live, live forever
Baby, you know we could live forever, yeah
I know you see me over here in the darkness
Talk please, stop pretending that you heartless
Okay, okay, okay, alright, okay you win, babe
Could you find a way to forgive me again, babe?
Get on my knees right here on the dance floor for ya
I'll tap dance for tips at the front door for ya
All I'm tryin' to say is forward from this day
I wanna live
Live, live, live, live together
Baby, we can make it but we got to chase it
We got to live, live, live, live forever
Baby, you know we can live forever, yeah
You hear me woman?
What you don't think I'll make a fool out of myself
In this club this evening, girl?
You gotta know that, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know
That I love you, baby
Live, live, live, live together
Baby, we can make it but we got to chase it
We got to live, live, live, live forever
Baby, you know we can live forever, yeah
I have already seen my future
And it looks exactly like you
And being in love is sure enough a battle
But I am determined to fight on through
Now some people might consider me a star or somethin'
But shit, they need to shine the light on you
If loving you is wrong
I'm sorry but right won't do, I wanna
Live, live, live, live together
Baby, we can make it but we got to chase it
We got to live, live, live, live forever
Baby, you know we could live forever, yeah
I know you see me over here in the darkness
Talk please, stop pretending that you heartless
Okay, okay, okay, alright, okay you win, babe
Could you find a way to forgive me again, babe?
Get on my knees right here on the dance floor for ya
I'll tap dance for tips at the front door for ya
All I'm tryin' to say is forward from this day
I wanna live
Live, live, live, live together
Baby, we can make it but we got to chase it
We got to live, live, live, live forever
Baby, you know we can live forever, yeah

What you don't think I'll make a fool out of myself
In this club this evening, girl?
You gotta know that, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know
That I love you, baby
Live, live, live, live together
Baby, we can make it but we got to chase it
We got to live, live, live, live forever
Baby, you know we can live forever, yeah
Die Trying lyrics - Cee Lo Green
[Chorus]
See there's no way and there's no how
I'd ever stop now, Imma die tryin', I'mma die trying
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
But I'mma keep on. I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' (MMMMMM)
Before we came being southern wasn't something to claim
In fact wasn't something too fly it was something to blame
Smilin and juckin and jivin I was so ashamed
They gave the dirty an apparently appropriate name
I wrote about a revolution and sung from the soul
Spoke with my spirit and mind my ambition was blind
Answering the call of god like a child obeying
Preaching the very same power they killed martin for saying
But you can't break the hold and not holding your breath
Thought if I died for ya, that would be an honourable death
So sincere my eyes begin to swell up in tear
And it's clear my music may not do well up in here
Oh my god being a nigger must be a good payin job
With all the fringe benefits, ignorance is bliss
There is a time and a place for everybody's taste
But I know too much and I owe too much
[Chorus]
So here it is, an invitation to an open book
A painful past my heart is still broken look
I know you don't hate me it's not assured they anyone appreciate me
See i've been having a hard time selling my album's lately
In recent news the source couldnt find any microphones to rate me
Using words I could scream an alternative to equate me
Which is true I'm in a box with a view would you still wanna date me?
I could be a pretty good thug but it wouldnt compare to a great me
The final cross to bear is mine it's not a cross to share
But isn't it ironic I still woulda bought a cross to wear
That obviously cost to wear but considerably less than the price that it costs to care
Now I have another loss to spare I doubt em say that I can't win
Even though I know talking intelligent just ain't in
You most likely to go broke when you just can't bend
So me and JJ both gon' have to pay bills
[Chorus]
Listen
People still standin in line at the +World Party+ for some +Soul Food+
To get put back in that old mood
They say we like the new 'Lo
and we respect everything that you trying to do 'Lo
Do what you do but just do more that you know
It's a catch 22 and I couldn't cry
Now I'm under oath with them both and I couldn't lie
Cussed 'em said that I'm too dope and I coudln't fly
But you getting rich talkin shit so why shouldn't I
I'm just playing but I guess that couldn't go without saying
I'm just gon ride this revolution until they stop me where I'm stayin
But I ain't gotta lie to ya to make it sound fly to ya
I keep my feet on the ground and bring the sky to ya
[Chorus]
See there's no way and there's no how
I'd ever stop now, Imma die tryin', I'mma die trying
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
But I'mma keep on. I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' (MMMMMM)

Bad Mutha lyrics - Cee Lo Green

I don't know what you came to do

And I don't know who you came to see

You get a bullet hole in your soul fuckin' with Lo
I'm from Southwest whip a Jaguar S 1100
Crucifix on my chest
I could just stand still and shine like glass
I got a mansion sittin' on 10 acres of grass

Don't cross the line shawty let me be

I ain't gone lie
My mother is nature
This is why
And my father is God
We got a house in the sky
I can touch your heart
I can soothe your soul
I can give your body warmth
In the freezing cold
I can give you joy
When life got you low
I can take away the pain and you'll hurt no more
I can make every dream you got come true
When you believing in me
You believing in you
And one last thing
So you don't forget
You got to be bad as hell to do that shit
Rock

Clap yo hand in the air like this
Boogie down and stomp just twist
Don't dare miss a minute of this

Close Encounter (Break) lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Don't cry now
You know it happens to the best of us
Goodbye now
And don't forget about the rest of us
I'm staying
You never know if they can use me here
I'm praying
I won't be looking when you disappear
And everybody's looking out
For close encounters of another kind
And it won't help me if I shout
But I'm getting pretty close this time
You're on my mind
Don't worry
I should have told you to beware of me
Don't hurry
Come back to see whatever's left of me
I've cried some
But I suppose I'm getting colder now
You've died some
But even you are getting older now
And everybody's looking out
For close encounters of another kind
And it won't help me if I shout
But I'm getting pretty close this time
You're on my mind, all of the time
Don't cry now
Don't cry now
You know it happens to the best of us
Goodbye now
And don't forget about the rest of us
I'm staying
You never know if they can use me here
I'm praying
I won't be looking when you disappear
And everybody's looking out
For close encounters of another kind
And it won't help me if I shout
But I'm getting pretty close this time
You're on my mind
Don't worry
I should have told you to beware of me
Don't hurry
Come back to see whatever's left of me
I've cried some
But I suppose I'm getting colder now
You've died some
But even you are getting older now
And everybody's looking out
For close encounters of another kind
And it won't help me if I shout
But I'm getting pretty close this time
You're on my mind, all of the time
Don't cry now
Don't cry now
Big Ole Words (Damn) lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Mm hmm
Ok, Ok
Yeah
Y'all thought I lost it
[Verse One: Cee-Lo]
In no fashion have I lost my passion for the pen
It's just that lately life has been a lost less inspirin
To tell you the truth trials and tribulations is very tirin
I gotta play a little game of gimmick and gunfirin
I'm not aspirin to be any lower or higher than,
I get equal as in eye to eye again
I'm the truth, I'm complicated I'm all ready but try again
I've got to die once to never ever die again
And what I believe within I engrave within my skin
And one thang that I ain't is a saint without a sin
How could there be a now if there never was a then?
That is unbalanced just like the yang without the yen
I am distinguishably deeper as opposed to the paper-thin
And I breathe oxygen, and you rhymin bout rocks again
You stagnant, standing still enough to feel the world spin
I'm beginning to smell the end in the path of the blowing wind
Hopefully I'm fortunate enough to spend forever with a friend
I'm slow dancing with destiny every day until then
When I first got my big break I said that I would never bend
And discredit my character to keep up or contend
And my belief beat baseline secrete such a special blend
I am not like them at all and I cannot pretend
I am not like you at all and I cannot pretend.
[Hook]
DAMN
That shit was funky
You heard that nigga?
DAMN
Shawty Lo
(yup, c'mon)
[Verse Two: Cee-Lo]
I get off on an extension or compare comprehension
I'm in a classroom of my own, I'm too far gone for competition
Yet I'm never obnoxious with my obvious ambition
Perfectly imperfect is my dimension's definition
I engage my pen pierces the page so that it bleeds my intention
With honorable mention of God's divine intervention
I'm incredible I'm inevitable and there's no possible prevention
I'll hardly (have to) scream my dream and I'll have your undivided attention
The powers that be will be beaten into submission
And you will be able to see my revolution on television
You'll get an aneurysm fuckin around with my head on collision
With the power to get you dead and half the dead risen
I remember when my development was arrested
I was doin time on my mind misguided and misdirected
I was sick, so sick if I spoke to you you'd be infected
Then my conscience was cleared of all charges and I came out corrected
Reinvented, refined, replenished and well rested
On a mission for a medium to manifest the thoughts I collected
After that everything I breathed upon, I blessed it
I committed crimes of passion and my soul was suspected
But it was thrown out of court because of course the Creator and I connected
He told me, "fear not for thou art protected. Your life is being requested
And you are being tested, so make every attempt you can to expect the unexpected."
[Hook]
Mm mm mm
Boy that Lo boy
DAMN
Oh Lawd
Cee-Lo why you do it like that?
You aint have to bustin all like that, man
Makin these lil rappers feel like they can't rap
DAMN
I got some more, I got some more if you want some.
[Verse Three: Cee-Lo]
I am internally evolving entirely
Extensive eclectic expression eloquently
Instantly innovative, Courageously creative
I'm driven, this God given gift it comes naturally to the native
Not a need for the dramatics or the systematic
Simplicities, strictly science and mathematics
The mastermind of the mighty mystical and magical moves
And metaphors manifests masterpieces
Thoroughly fury through the inner mind's eye establishes this syn-thesis
Of these innermost, insightful, intriguing interpretations of extreme intelligence
My commonsense is no co-incidence
Caution: competitors approach carefully
I'm able to see
Rare ranges of distance, I expect respect
There's no tolerance for negligence, never
You'll forever
Feel the wrath of the pure and powerful poetry, permanently
Pre-meditative, political, critical, compellin, story-tellin
Defining desire, faith fuelin the fire
Brilliance, ?? philosophical, psychological willingly waging warfare,
Withstandin, commandin, demandin the listening ears to hear what God's forcin
Instead endorsin education. Equality, not hate
Just revolution of the mind state
Note mere words but emotions
Which is essential, influential provin my people's potential
Militancy, innocence, insight, listen to God then write
Since my birth date I been tight!
Shit
[Hook]
Now I don't want never hear nobody else say
goddamn a nigga from the South can't rhyme
NEVER!
DAMN
Hehehe...Now can I do my shit??
Ok, Ok
Yeah
Y'all thought I lost it
[Verse One: Cee-Lo]

Be free and express yourself, nastiness comes naturally

Or it could be; I wanna walk my way and refusin to follow the rest
Or when people haven't been where you been

Or when you wit ya girl and
Pull over and fuck somethin in the back of the car
[Hook]

You got to let the music freak your mind

[Cee-Lo after each pause in hook]
I'm so excited, go on and say it
Oh I'm a freak, yes I'm a freak, and just can't fight it
I'm so excited, go on and say it
If you a freak, say you a freak, don't try to fight it
[Cee-Lo]
You got to let the music freak your mind
All the way, if yo' brain leavin don't mind
You know a boyfriend thing is hard to find
Get on the floor mama and bump and grind
Ain't nuttin wrong wit - You only gon' get
But it ain't no fun if you been freakin all mo'nin

All you got to do is find somebody like you
[Hook]

[Cee-Lo after each pause in hook]
I'm so excited, go on and say it
Oh I'm a freak, yes I'm a freak, and just can't hide it
I'm so excited, go on and say it
If you a freak, say you a freak
(Wait a minute, where the God-damn horns?)

El Dorado Sunrise (Super Chicken) lyrics - Cee Lo Green
[chorus x8] Super Chicken
[Verse 1]
Listen now, I got a story to tell
About a bird who wanted to fly away
You see he knew that he could and he probably would
But his family said they needed him to stay
But his spirit is strong and he's been waiting so long
And he don't really want nobody to tell him daddy wrong
So excuse me I wanna go and kiss the sky
Cause these wings that I was given were inteded to fly
[chorus x8]
[Verse 2]
Everybody mad at lil' ol' me
Cause I ain't the same bird I used to be
Oh but if you had a dream, something you wanted to do
I sure wouldn't be the one to keep it from you
[singing]
I can't let nobody hold me down
This is my life and that's my sky
I was born to fly
[chorus x8]
[Verse 3]
Look it here
This is nothing I should fear
This should down and disappear
I done lost my fear
I don't know if you seen what I saw
But I hope someday you'll see it my way
I believe
I believe
I can breath
I believe I can find some happiness
I know that ya watch me grow but don't worry 'bout me
Cause I'm gonna be ok
I wanna sing, wanna dance, wanna scream, wanna shout
I wanna be everything I am
I ain't nobody's fool
Nobody's child no more
I'm a full grown man
I used to wonder if I could
If I would
If I should and I know I got to know
And now three ain't no doubt in my mind
I can do it, I can do it, I know I can
[chorus x8]
[singing]
If I couldn't fly
I might well die
Let me go human, can't go hold my hand no more
Let me go
Let me be, set me free
Let me go
[chorus x8]

One For The Road lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Yeah, mmm mmm mmm, yeah that sho' feel good.
Hello! I go by the name of simply Cee-Lo Green - how do you do?
Welcome. I thought I'd seize this opportunity to tell you a little
bit more about myself if you don't mind. This is my vision.
YouknowhatI'msaying? Check me out now. Uhh
I have millenniums of material and rivers of rhythm
An entire ocean of emotion that's enlightening to swim in
Also a forest of feeling, beaten paths of peace
Trapped inside my silhouette I have to speak to release
Demanding more from the pen than I horde from the pen
The line between playing to win and sin is thin
But I walk it with grace and I talk it with taste
I am that raw, simply put, and I rest my case; it's elementary
Yet far more than resources to pay the rent for me
Everything that I've done is divine
Ask God, he'll tell ya, yeah, he mine
So, you see, you don't need another thug out of me
That is the last thing I plan to be on this LP
But I'ma go slip into something mo' comfortable and continue the lesson
No inconvenience at all, I insist on leaving an impression
So relax, and ride out. Relax, okay, and ride out
Just relax, and ride out. Players, relax, and ride out
I also solicit visual verbalism worth a visit
Intensely exquisite artism inquire all. Who is it?
It's a deliciously daring delicacy I eat to exist
Oh, he's waving those words, I want seconds and thirds
Oh, hush. That's awful kind of you, you're making me blush
I could use some competition, but they not making me much
Man, this beat is like my master, it's making me bust
Hip-hop is suffering, meaning I'm a necessity, if nothing
But you like every other rapper - cornrows and a bandana
But I get a hundred and fifty thousand dollar check
every three months off Santana
Don't you fuck up, though, my family is the whole side of Atlanta
Now, how can I say? Okay, let me just put it this way
If anyone ever contests my conquest my gun best
Yo son just, takes one time to be one less
Til you run and tell the rest that I'm the best
I sang sweet, but brang heat to bang meat
We all on the same street
And it's not that often I verbalize the essential element of surprise
I am not one of these thug rapper guys
But this one will help you realize, and use both eyes to recognize
the type of action that this amount of money buys
Now listen son, let me drop some shit on you man
I can just "do-do-do-do-do-do-do" and put a hit on you man
Aith hot heat that will make your heart beat quit on you man
And Mr. Dawson'll find a pretty box to fit all you man
So relax, and ride out. Just relax, young man, and ride out
Hey, you better relax, and ride out. Okay? Just relax, and ride out
I could take that shit all day
But if I only had sixteen more bars to live
I'd get high, and hopefully O.D. on an alternative
I'd give a dim lit dream, a colour scheme
And I'd swim for the sun (so far) no matter how impossible that may seem
I'd bury my feet in the foundation of a forest Becoming one with
everything there
I would be long. I would be right and wrong. But I'd be rare
And then I would pretend I didn't care. Use my fear
And pray that my forever would be fare.
And I love you all, unconditional, I get misty already missing y'all
And then I forgive those who rhyme to kill the time
While mine cultivate the consciousness and
Chill the spine, heal the mind, yet still sublime
Ride out. Relax, and ride out. Relax, and ride out. Relax, and ride out
This is one for the road. Yeah. One time for your motherfucking mind
I told how you motherfucking play. D.F. y'all. Believe this. Yeah
Shouts out to Outkast, Goodie Mob. Yeah, Backbone, where ya at brother?
(Hey) Hahaha. Alright. (Easy now) Hahaha. Yeah. Can't nobody stop me now
No, sir. Yeah. I'm gone, y'all. Oh, man. It's lovely. Ahahah. Yeah
Somebody better stop me. Hahaha. Cause I'm good. Heheheheh. Yeah. Hahahahah
Alright now. Heheheh. Yeah. Alright, we gonna relax, cause it feels so good
Everybody doing their godamn thing. Yeah
Hello! I go by the name of simply Cee-Lo Green - how do you do?

Spend The Night In Your Mind lyrics - Cee Lo Green
In your mind...
I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind
Let me caress your consciousness
Want you to taste the thought of me
Is your imagination aroused
It ought to be
Let me seduce your soul
With every word I say
Oooo, Wait on my love
It's on its way
Whoa, may I have this dance
Your dreams and destiny
You've got years to yearn
Please say yes to me
Baby believe, believe and it will be
Prepare yourself
I promise you'll remember me
I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind
Love has lost its compassion
But no I won't commit that crime
I'd rather leave an impression
That will last your whole lifetime
You see I go deeper
Instead of standing in the shallow end
I want to please my partner
I want to fuck my friend
I want to be inside you, literally
Girl I want to use you, habitually
Was all the waiting worth it
Soon we will see
I want to remember you
And I want you to remember me
I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind
[Cee-Lo speaks]
"I want to eat your emotion
And lick your life line"
"You can search your lifetime
And not find a love like mine"
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........she's sleeping
I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind
Let me caress your consciousness
Want you to taste the thought of me
Is your imagination aroused
It ought to be
Let me seduce your soul
With every word I say
Oooo, Wait on my love
It's on its way
Whoa, may I have this dance
Your dreams and destiny
You've got years to yearn
Please say yes to me
Baby believe, believe and it will be
Prepare yourself
I promise you'll remember me
I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind
Love has lost its compassion
But no I won't commit that crime
I'd rather leave an impression
That will last your whole lifetime
You see I go deeper
Instead of standing in the shallow end
I want to please my partner
I want to fuck my friend
I want to be inside you, literally
Girl I want to use you, habitually
Was all the waiting worth it
Soon we will see
I want to remember you
And I want you to remember me

Can we uh conversate for some hennesey straight
Or we can boogy-oogy down
Til' the morning light (Show your ride)
Say lil' momma I usually don't clown
Usually sit smoke a lil' bit or drink some brown liqour down
But see it's something bout the way you make a playa wanna play
So grab your glass of chardonnay and now lets go dance the night away
[Chorus]
Shawty shake it (shake it shake it)
Shake your sugar for me (shake it shake it)
[x7]
[Backbone]
Now let me introduce myself
Call me Jimmy Supa-fly
I say working them to death (Punches thrown)
You hear the linen in the falling in place
Tip-toe through the door then vacant the premesis without a trace (Oh lord)
Pardon me please, excuse my negligence
But to what do I owe the honor standing
In the presence of elignece in its essence
Simply beautiful are the words you deserve
My lil' peanut butter jelly jam preserve
[Chorus]
[Cee-Lo]
I like the way you wear you hair (Your hair)
And girl you know you look so good to me
Wait a minute girl stand right there (God damn)
You know you look so good to me

Because you know you look so good to me
Call me anytime I dont care
Because you look so good to me
Shawty let me see you shake it
[Chorus]
[Big Gipp]
yeah
76 degrees night light Gippp
Mrs. Lady I get you out the cryer like a florist pick a tulip
She pursuaded my intervention
Kept my attention
Focusing in on every motion body
That is more blowing me kisses
Chocalate chip cookie lover
Who taught you how to shake that
Candy bows so loveley I could watch it for many moons in the same room
Cus' soon than it tied by your sexual foreplay
Girl.. shake it for me c'mon
[Chorus]
Hey say lil' buddy
Come love... good god

Gettin' Grown lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Hey
Little boy you're not allowed to stay
You have to evolve inevitably
And I've sure come a long way
The road up ahead is so unclear
Back slidin down the bottom of beer
Nobody knew if I would make it here
Sweet music set me free
From the statistic that I started to be
I wish my mama was alive to see
The memories of pain have scarred
And when I fall it's usually hard
But I get up and keep followin' God
Hey, I'm Gettin' grown, (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown
I'm Gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown, hey
Now I remember the good ol' days
Broads and boxes and blunts to blaze
Now I got three children to raise
I never won't be perfect I know
But workin on it is worse than I know
Life is just learning as you go
Been selfish once or twice
I had to learn how to sacrifice
To live to my late nineties be nice
Every day that goes by I find
It either hits me or it robs me blind
God I owe you this life of mine
I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown,
I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown
[whistling]
Oooo, time changed but it feels the same,
There's no tellin what tommorow will bring,
Even if I could I wouldn't change a thang
Hey, Lord I know I'm not here to stay
But thanks for wakin' me up today
Prepare me for what may come my way
Say, young man, there's no need to cry
Because I know you will get by
Look your destiny in the eye
Everyday my heart burns to try
You got to walk before you learn to fly
And we all got to earn to die
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
[fade]
Little boy you're not allowed to stay
You have to evolve inevitably

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

Bass Head Jazz lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Bass Head Jazz...
Bass Head
Feel like I'm walkin' across the sky
Getting high on Bass Head Jazz
The world is spinning so slow
We ain't got nowhere to go
Bass Head
Let your mind be free
Enter a new zone of understanding
Gotta get high to get down
Feel like I'm walkin' across the sky
Getting high on Bass Head Jazz
Bass Head
Feel like I'm walkin' across the sky
Getting high on Bass Head Jazz
The world is spinning so slow
We ain't got nowhere to go
Bass Head
Let your mind be free
Enter a new zone of understanding
Gotta get high to get down
Feel like I'm walkin' across the sky
Getting high on Bass Head Jazz
Microhard lyrics - Cee Lo Green (feat. Jahalla, Kirkland Underwater)
Shocka locka...
[Cee-Lo]
Shit, behold it is me, it is the epitome of extraterrestrial energy
Experiment and enter the internals of the inner me
The art of gone, and heart of stone, and own's worst enemy
Intellect shapeshifta, God's gift a Soul slippa
Hone in on clones and blow them out of my zone
International Fanatical, the radical tactical movements
Sounds are congruent to it
Work
It is what it ain't to these, infected disease
Thought of automatons deceived, by the deceptions indeed
Who mechanically breed at methodical speeds
Distorting your genes, aborting your dreams
As coarse as it seems
Aiyyo, Work
[Cee-Lo]
I could scream, I can't seem to sleep long enough to dream
It's life on a laser beam
But I fiend for the future at my finger tips
One of the minor technicalities of my head trips
You Better Work
The Barea Soul terror, been told since stories of old
Come on let's go and then I'll show how to beat down a rhyme
And wrestle a tempo
Hold on tight, but still let yourself go
Work
This is what I'm talking about
Should I begin to spit it just like the wind
Show my power take flight and quickly ascend
Like a bird beating my wings to the pulse of nature
Scaring spiritual devils while evoking the maker
Is it wrong for me to curse in the name of right
Is it wrong for me to spit life into this mic
That's all I'm asking baby
How come the new millennium brings fright
Something wicked approaches tonight
Work
It's automatic, static battle star galactic
Microhard
It's the upgraded, complicated, premeditated
Microhard
It's the transplanted, peaceful panic, bass mechanic
Microhard
It's the psychotic, mean melodic, nod-narcotic
Microhard
[repeat]
What good is a call on the phone if you can't speak
And you find it hard to breathe
Paralyzed by my essence, mere presence I put forth
Inherently legends record all souls of expressions
Evil as evil does, better than good was
A spirit of music that once was, born out of the pool of your love
Baby I'm an agent with a flow that's so contagious
And all and all true patience, my brotha Lo told me makes for perfection
while you feeling bound by this matrix
That's why when it comes to protecting mine
I'm a brother you can call over zealous
And I lust and thrust out my staff and wet
Till the motherfuckin' rains get jealous
You Gotta Work
It's not coincidental I use my soul for a stencil to outline the rhyme
that connects machine and a mind
Until the end of time the one my kind, the message will now be profoundly
spoken, rules are meant to be broken, therefore it's my pleasure to mentor
But once learned you must learn you must yearn to discern
The mechanical glitch of artificial intelligence
But the consequence of your ignorance is the reality I now see before me:
"maybe in time we'll see"
Don't Stop, Work
The degree you'll see will 'cause casualty when the codes download
The truth will unfold uphold until the end
'Cause our destiny will be to win, you're still free to sin within
It's automatic, static battle star galactic

I am the melody, the metaphoric prehistoric
The pre-meaning before it, preparing for war shit
Their god's only a graphic, the sky's computer blue
There is a moral malfunction, what will the machine do to you
They maliciously monopolize the mass
Niggas sleep rap and fuck they surprise you last
when you sell them your soul they supply you cash
But you can die for all they care, with your expendable ass
Because they know a new nigga, a brand new nigga
Will jump right in them tap shoes even if his feet bigger
Ain't shit sweet nigga, it's deeper than the street nigga
You and I just a virus they gonna delete nigga
Some people say go on and join what you can't beat nigga
I won't take the mark so I can't eat nigga
Holla if I'm talking to ya, (AH!)
I'll walk straight through ya
'Cause I want the motherfucker that did this to ya

Our comrade Cee-Lo is considered by many as a modern day Neo
And opposing forces known as agents will like him dead for what he know
He is The One, at least that's who Morpheus say he is
He can free the mind of a machine and give God to an atheist
But he's a daydreamer, it's all in his head
Still today's music has become the Matrix
and the real rhythm is in the red pill
So I chose it knowing I can never return once I'm gone
And I hope you got this message
I'll be waiting by the phone

Under Tha Influence (Follow Me) lyrics - Cee Lo Green
[Verse 1]
I'm goin crazy. (I'm goin crazy)
Would you like to come with me? (Would you like to come with me?)
Oooh its never to late to your mind.
I've forgotten where I've come from, (Forgotten where I've come from)
I can't remember where I'm goin. (I can't remember where I'm goin)
So when you take my hand, just got to trust me eventhough I'm blind.
[Hook]
Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Follow me.
Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Ooooooooh mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[Verse 2]
Are you there yet? (Baby are you there yet?)
Do you even care yet? (Do you even care yet?)
Leave that forever as long as your fears are far behind.
But first you got to trust me. (But first you got to trust me)
This is your destiny it must be. (This is your destiny it must be)
So take my hand I've seen the promise land eventhough I'm blind.
[Hook]
Follow me. Follow me. Follow me.
Ooooh I can set you free if you,
Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Yeeeeeeah.
[Verse 3]
You've got to believe in something. (In something)
So why not believe in me?
Because of everything, you've probably seen
is not what it seems, cuz life is a dream
You've got to believe in something. (Believe in something)
So why not believe in me?
Because of everything, you've probably seen
is not what it seems, cuz life is a dream
[Piano Solo]
Rock. Roll. Rock. Roll. Rock. Roll. Rock. Roll.
[Verse 4]
Mmmmmmmm yeah.
And if tomorrow is takin to long. (Too long)
And yesterday is too far away. (Far away)
Every reality of what you believe in begins to bind. (Ooooh)
Call my name. (Call my name)
And I'll come runnin. (And I'll come runnin)
Take my hand I'll understand eventhough I'm blind.
[Hook]
Follow me. Follow me. Follow me.
Yeeaaaah I can set you free if you,
Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Yeeeeeeah.
Medieval Times (Great Pretender) lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Well...
I'm a species so rare the human eye's hardly seen
A thin line between divine and killing machine
A dark side of the light that no one should ever see
Oh, I feel for the foolish for fucking with me
There is a war inside me but the water is still
You'll be safer every time assuming it will,
But to lose my composure I don't normally do,
I just thought that you should know
I've been sicker than you
You don't know me
A record can't tell ya
Uh-oh, I'm the Great Pretender
[repeat]
You say you want my pain,
My own personal pain
A lot hurt, heartache, and hard times it's hard to explain
I can feel the anger starting to happen again
I'd bust your head and break your brain for five minutes of fame
A-ha ha
My heart beats with unconditional love
But beware of the blackness that it's capable of
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
You got to travel the road of a troubled soul
I'm trying so hard not to lose control
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
You don't know me
A record can't tell ya
Uh-oh, I'm the Great Pretender
[repeat]
They said in life you shouldn't worry
Just got to let the wind blow
Ha, ha, ha
You see every day I'm struggling
For the strength to let it go
Ha, ha, ha
You don't know me
A record can't tell ya
Uh-oh, I'm the Great Pretender
[repeat]
I'm a species so rare the human eye's hardly seen
A thin line between divine and killing machine
A dark side of the light that no one should ever see
Oh, I feel for the foolish for fucking with me
There is a war inside me but the water is still
You'll be safer every time assuming it will,
But to lose my composure I don't normally do,

Oh yeah, Oh yeah

I'm trying so hard not to lose control

Country Love lyrics - Cee Lo Green (feat. John Popper)
Well I'm extremely cheap
I snore when I go to sleep
The little bit of nothin have left
I'm strugglin trying to keep
Your friends may all agree
You could name a million things I'll never be
If you feel like flyin feel free
You know that you could do better than me
I'm a simple man
I'm doing everything I can
When God sent you my way
It was the moment my life began
You stood by me through the storm
Well I was hopin you'd have my hand
I wish I understood how you were strong enough to undestand
Cuz see no one is crazy enough to love me but you
Never thought myself as much to see
Material things don't mean much to me
A good father, husband, and workin man
Are sometimes so much to see
And all them bills are due
I can't afford to buy you nothing new
We don't talk like we used to
I know that loving me is hard on you
But you know I try
You are the completion of I
As long as we're in love
I'll never be ready to die
We've come such a long way
And sometimes I want to ask you why
You continue to be the only star in my entire sky
Because no one is crazy enough to love me but you
You see, girl you know I try
You are the completion of I
As long as we're in love
I'll never be ready to die
We've come such a long way
And sometimes I want to ask you why
You continue to be the only star in my entire sky
But see no one is crazy enough to love me but you
I want to thank you (yeah)
I snore when I go to sleep
The little bit of nothin have left
I'm strugglin trying to keep
Your friends may all agree
You could name a million things I'll never be
If you feel like flyin feel free
You know that you could do better than me
I'm a simple man
I'm doing everything I can
When God sent you my way
It was the moment my life began
You stood by me through the storm
Well I was hopin you'd have my hand
I wish I understood how you were strong enough to undestand
Cuz see no one is crazy enough to love me but you
Never thought myself as much to see

You continue to be the only star in my entire sky
But see no one is crazy enough to love me but you
I want to thank you (yeah)
Awful Thing lyrics - Cee lo green
I ain't leaving, I ain't leaving
Came to put the God in your body this evening
You can't run, you can't hide
Buckle in and enjoy the ride
For beyond all space and time
Jump on in y'all we wasting time
If you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
It's OK, it's alright
Came to put the boogie in your body tonight
Don't be scared, don't be scared
Just grab my hand and hold on tight
I'll be the light that will guide you there
You probably hate me but I hardly care
'Cause if you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
I said a sham a lama, shama a lama ding dong
You put the umm, whaw, whaw
Back into my smile child
That is why, that is why
You are the suga didi dip girl
If you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
Heyyyyyyy, everybody have some fun tonight
You got to give the groove a chance
Don't hesitate the time won't wait
You might not have tomorrow to dance
Now get up, and get down
I didn't come this far to be fucking around
Hey you and you too
Why you over there acting shy
Have a hit and let me get you high
Don't let this feeling pass you by
If you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
Sham a lama, shama a lama ding dong
You put the umm, whaw, whaw
Back into my smile child
That is why, that is why
You are the suga didi dip girl
If you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
Came to put the God in your body this evening
You can't run, you can't hide
Buckle in and enjoy the ride
For beyond all space and time
Jump on in y'all we wasting time
If you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
It's OK, it's alright
Came to put the boogie in your body tonight
Don't be scared, don't be scared
Just grab my hand and hold on tight
I'll be the light that will guide you there
You probably hate me but I hardly care
'Cause if you can't hang it's an awful thing

Young Man (Sierra's Song) lyrics - Cee Lo Green
Hey baby, hey baby
Hi-iiii
Laaaa, ughhhhh
Hey-ey
Hey there young man it seems like your sight's been blinded
Oh how I wish you could see
The very life that you're lived been tailored by many and mixed in ability
Oh I wish you'd do more than just keepin it real
Why don't you try being true?
One song could save the life of the young ones dependin on you
Hey young man
Hey young man I understand why you so angry
I grew up exactly the same
Daddy was gone so you had to find your own way
And he's convenient to blame
Despite those circumstances don't you stop standin
Don't Give up whatever you do
Cause just like you once were now your son's dependin on you
Hey young man
Hey there young man why degrade your only sister
And call them bitches and whores?
What if one day someone feels the same way
About that daughter of yours?
Oh if you had one inkling of an idea
Of what they had to go through
Of course she's strong but she's still depending on you
Hey young man, hey young man
Hold on
Ooooo, oooo
Well well [singing in the background]
Alright y'all
[beat fades out]
Hi-iiii

Anyway lyrics - Cee Lo Green
I know I'm stingy with my money
And it's hard to get some from me
But you still love me anyway
Your mother seems to like me
But your father wants to fight me
But you still love me anyway
And I take you out on dates
And I always show up late
But you still love me anyway
There's no one else like this
That would put up with my shit
And still love me anyway
[Chorus]
Because no matter what I do
I know I can count on you
'Cause baby, you still love me anyway
For worse or for better
You make me better
I know you still love me anyway
Because no matter what I do
I know I can count on you
Cause baby you still love me anyway
For worse or for better
You make me better
I know you still love me anyway
I only see you every now and then
And I'm on the road again
But you still love me anyway
And when this relationship's not working
That's when all your friends start flirting
And my eyes may wander but that is not ok
So I make it up to you
With a brand new pair of shoes
If you still love me anyway
And I will surely miss the way you put up my shit
I'll make it up to you some day
[Chorus]
Cause no matter what I do
I know I can count on you
Cause baby you still love me anyway
For worse or for better
You make me better
I know you still love me anyway
You still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me anyway
[Bridge]
I said... mmm, mmm
No one loves me quite like you do girl
It's unconditional, unconditional
[Chorus]
Cause no matter what I do
I know I can count on you
Cause baby you still love me anyway
For worse or for better
You make me better
I know you still love me anyway
You still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me any
Still love me anyway
And it's hard to get some from me
But you still love me anyway
Your mother seems to like me
But your father wants to fight me
But you still love me anyway
And I take you out on dates
And I always show up late
But you still love me anyway
There's no one else like this
That would put up with my shit
And still love me anyway
[Chorus]
Because no matter what I do
I know I can count on you
'Cause baby, you still love me anyway
For worse or for better
You make me better
I know you still love me anyway
Because no matter what I do
I know I can count on you
Cause baby you still love me anyway
For worse or for better
You make me better
I know you still love me anyway
I only see you every now and then

Cause baby you still love me anyway
For worse or for better
You make me better
I know you still love me anyway
You still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me anyway
[Bridge]
I said... mmm, mmm
No one loves me quite like you do girl
It's unconditional, unconditional
[Chorus]
Cause no matter what I do
I know I can count on you
Cause baby you still love me anyway
For worse or for better
You make me better
I know you still love me anyway
You still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me anyway
You still love me any, still love me any
Still love me any
Still love me anyway
Bridges lyrics - Cee Lo Green
[Verse 1]
I will build a bridge
Over the troubled water for you
The one that was here
Was weak and weary
Time had torn it down
Started little by little
We can meet right in the middle
We laugh about it later
But it’s time for it now
Soon as all the work is done
Get old hands in harmony
Sit and talk and share the sun
I know that you can feel it
But it’s gonna take a feeling
[Hook]
It’s gonna get a little easier
Ohhhh, it’s gonna get a little easier
ohhhh, it’s gonna get a little easier
A little easier for you to understand
[Verse 2]
I want to build the bridges
So that when the elders hear it
It reminds us of that spirit
That makes us all the same
Don’t give up on your children
Because of human nature
We’ve got virtue, we’ve got vices
What you’ve done is not in vain
It don’t matter how long it’s been
Turn back the music on
I want to dance with my father again
I know that you can feel it
But it’s gonna take a feeling
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I want to build a bridge
Between every sister and brother
Father and mother, friend and lover
Black, white and other, love one another
I dare you to just do it
It’s the only way to prove it
If I promise to take the first step
Will you take the other?
Don’t you want to be certain of?
Don’t you want to know you’re free?
You can come together over me
I know that you can feel it
But it’s gonna take a feeling
[Hook]
I will build a bridge
Over the troubled water for you
The one that was here
Was weak and weary
Time had torn it down
Started little by little
We can meet right in the middle
We laugh about it later
But it’s time for it now
Soon as all the work is done
Get old hands in harmony
Sit and talk and share the sun
I know that you can feel it
But it’s gonna take a feeling
[Hook]
It’s gonna get a little easier
Ohhhh, it’s gonna get a little easier
ohhhh, it’s gonna get a little easier
A little easier for you to understand
[Verse 2]
I want to build the bridges

Bright Lights Bigger City (Remix) lyrics - Cee Lo Green (feat. Wiz Khalifa)
I've been living for the weekend
But, no, not anymore
Cuz here comes that familiar feelin’
That Friday's famous for
Yeah I’m lookin’ for some action
And it’s out there somewhere
You can feel the electricity
All in the evening air
And it may just be more of the same
But sometimes I wanna go where everyone knows your name
So I guess I’ll have to wait and see
But I’m just gonna let something brand new happen to me
[Hook]
And it’s alright
It’s alright [x3]
Bright lights and the big city
It belongs to us tonight
Now Friday’s cool
But there’s somethin’ about Saturday night
You can’t say what you won't do
Cuz you know that you just might
I’m alive this evening
It was love at first sight
Of this Saturday
And every Saturday for the rest of my life
And everyone’s standin’ in line
Yeah lookin’ good and lookin for a real good time
So I’ll never have to wonder if
I’ll have someone to share all of this with
[Hook]
And it’s alright
It’s alright [x3]
Bright lights and the big city
It belongs to us tonight
[Wiz Khalifa]
Hear the night life when it’s callin’
So we drink until we fallin’
Ain’t a Laker but I’m ballin’
Need about 3 girls and I brought these girls to the club
Can I get ‘em all in
Make a movie and let ‘em star in it
Get drunk, get her in my car and
Do the same thing in the morning
Hear ‘em hating but we ignore them
Which one wanna go
Rollin’ this green, hit one on the low
Champagne, meet broads on the floor
We gettin’ bread so we toast
To the life and the fact that we major
Not to mention we Taylored
Been in the game, player
Who up next neighbors
[Hook x2]
And it’s alright
It’s alright [x3]
Bright lights and the big city
It belongs to us tonight
But, no, not anymore
Cuz here comes that familiar feelin’

All in the evening air
And it may just be more of the same
