Lyrics to
​pretty pretty please

1. Infatuation 

He tries to woo me 
It's not working 
Please stop talking 
He says he knows some pretty famous people 
And I'm wondering to myself is he evil? 
It seems to be he's up to no good 
He'd have his way with me and leave as soon as he could 

I can no longer force laugh at his jokes 
And no thank you to the drinks and the smokes 
Please sir can I just get by? 
I'm not giving in no matter how hard he tries 
And back at home I've got a pack of beer waiting 
As soon as I'm away from him that's time that I'm saving 
I admire his determination 
But he don't really love me it's just infatuation 

He's trying to put a hand up my skirt 
And when I tell him to stop he looks so hurt 
As if I'm the one who did something wrong 
Well he can't touch me any more cause I'm already gone 
As I walk out that door he's already on the next looking to score 

I admire his determination 
But he don't really love me it's just infatuation, on, on 


2. Crawl

​Oooo, oooo, yeah 
Oooo, oooo, yeah 
Oooo, oooo, yeah 


3. The pub 

Today I walk alone down a dingy road 
I head for the pub for a drink 
There's a bar at every block 
People all around walk and talk 
Calm it down so I can think 
Thinking of a woman who died 
Wondering why on Earth I'm still alive 
I'm just having fun for the time being 
Swallow my drink whole 
Ask for another cause I'm on a roll 
Contemplating the bigger picture the deeper meaning 

While we're hanging out at the pub 
Where everyone is looking for some fun 
There to fill your cup, cheers baby, bottom's up 
While we're hanging out at the pub 
Where everybody's looking for fun 

I suppose I should get going soon 
But I feel trapped in this room 
I can't escape the prison in my head 
Pay the tab but I still sit 
After all I'm not really ready to quit 
Must I face these paths ahead? 
Keep it to myself in the dark 
Ignore the rowdy drunk remarks 
I'm trapped in my own little world 
Close my eyes and take off 
Stomach turns into knots 
It all becomes a blur and I spin and I swirl 

While we're at the pub where everyone is looking for some love 
There to fill your cup, cheers baby, bottoms up 
While we're hanging at the pub, where everybody's looking for some fun 
They're there to fill your cup, cheers baby, bottom's up 

While we're hanging out at the pub
Where everybody's looking for love 
While we're hanging out at the pub 
Where everybody's looking for fun 
While we're hanging out at the pub 
Everybody is looking for love 
While we're hanging out at the pub 
Everybody is looking for fun 
While we're hanging out at the pub 
Everybody is looking for love
Everybody is looking for love 
Everybody is looking for love 


​4. The Wolves 

What's that? What's that that you said? 
I don't think I heard that correctly 
Those three little words "I love you" 
Is that what you just said to me? 
No, no that's impossible cause that doesn't make any sense 
It doesn't seem to be logical because your actions contradict 

You threw me to the wolves 
Then made a run for it 
Over my shoulder I take a look 
As the wolves quicken and floor it 
Whoa, I am so scared for my life 
Does he not care if I live or if I die?
No guilt in his eyes, his hands untied 
He doesn't mind and he's feeling sly 
Sly, sly like a fox 
And sneaky as a snake 
Slithering in between the rocks 
Oblivious to my horrid fate 
But then I hear those three words 
"I love you" once again 
I think you got a lot to learn 
Cause we're not even close to being friends 
What? What was that that you said? 
You need to speak up a little louder 
Clear your throat, shake your head 
You look like you've been sucking on something sour 
Your qualities of love consist of 
Abuse, neglect, and selfishness 
Keeping it rough and pushing me down 
Confusion and ignorance 
I'm having a difficult time understanding 
Why you call this misery love 
It's very strange and uncanny
I think I've had quite enough 
If this is how you love someone 
Then I'd hate to see how you'd hate someone 
You're not qualified to love 
Until you come back to save me 
And straighten up 

What's that? What's that that you said? 
I don't think I heard that correctly 
Those three little words "I love you" 
Is that what you just said to me? 
No, that's impossible cause that doesn't make any sense 
It doesn't seem to be logical because your actions contradict 

You threw me to the wolves 
You threw me to the wolves 
You threw me to the wolves 
Then called it love  
You threw me to the wolves 
You threw me to the wolves 
You threw me to the wolves 
Then called it love 


​5. Grin

Looking over my shoulder from time to time 
Not sure what it is I will find 
All I know that it's a monster of some kind 
I know he's mad and on the wicked side 
Maybe once good but now consumed with hate 
He'd have you running, except you'd be running in place 
Cross paths with him he'd have control of your fate 
I wanna stop what's coming but it may be too late 
He's lurking in the shadows craving revenge 
The evil on his face will make your cringe 
With icy blue eyes and a devil's grin 
His sinful deeds will make you sick and spin 
But that's a tale for another time 
You won't wanna believe in his horrible crimes 
The devil's grin smiling so wide 
Looking over my shoulder from time to time 
Time to time, looking over my shoulder from time to time 
The devil's grin smiling so wide 
Looking over my shoulder from time to time
Time to time, time to time, 
Time to time, looking over my shoulder from time to time 


​6. Four walls

Every day he paces in his cell 
Back and forth, can't keep still 
Alone he wonders with his thoughts 
Wishing every moment that he didn't get caught 
But he can't take it back 
Holding on the verge to attack 
Any poor soul walking round his way 
Praying that he gets out here soon some day 

Chorus: 
Surrounded by four walls 
Planning on a an escape 
No regrets at all 
And so consumed with hate 
Sooner or later 
He'll be out 
And when he's able 
He'll be hitting the road down South 
Down South 

Dreams of what he'll do when he leaves 
The people he will visit the places he'll see 
Patience runs low as he waits 
For when he'll say so long to his cell mates 
Replace this nasty food with lobster and steak 
Imagines himself walking out the gates 
A few more years, they could go by quick 
The hands on the clock continuously click 

Chorus 

Digging a hole, reaching a goal 
Digging a hole, hitting in the road 
Digging a hole, reaching a goal 
Digging a hole, hitting the road 
Digging a hole, reaching a goal 
Digging a hole, hitting the road 
Digging a hole, reaching a goal 
Digging a hole, hitting the road 

Chorus 

Sooner or later 
He'll be out 
And when he's able 
He'll be hitting the road down South 
Down South 


​7. Prisonbreaker 

Over and over I check the rearview mirror 
Hoping it won't give in to my terror 
Hard pounding hard like a hammer 
This is not the time for mistakes or for errors 
You see there's this man he's been after me 
He's got a heart made of stone and he's angry 
He's gone to prison with the help of my words 
And now he's broken out and as free as a bird 
He wants revenge and all he sees is red
He won't rest until I'm good and dead 
Please, prisonbreaker, forget about me 
It was you that got you there, don't you see? 

Prisonbreaker, don't you come after me 
Prisonbreaker, searching since he broke free 
Prisonbreaker, oh, pretty pretty please 
Prisonbreaker, dont you come and murder me 

Run to the door with pepper spray in hand 
Try to get inside as fast as I can 
Check the house to see if anyone's there 
Hiding in the closet or underneath the stairs 
My paranoia is going out of control 
My sanity is getting really hard to get a hold 
Peaking through the blinds of the window 
Then behind me creeps a tall skinny shadow 

Prisonbreaker, don't you come after me 
Prisonbreaker, searching since he broke free 
Prisonbreaker, oh, pretty pretty please 
Prisonbreaker, why don't you spare my life and don't you kill me 

A shinny pistol gleams in his hand 
My legs turn to jello and I can't stand 
He stares deeply with those icy eyes 
His desire for revenge will soon be satisfied 
He aims for my head and I wait for the blow 
It's happening so fast and yet so slow 
All of a sudden I wake up in my bed
Covered in sweat 
It was all just a dream 
and I'm not yet dead 
But did he or did he not break out? 
Man I gotta really really really find out 
I check the news and search for his name 
Well what do you know, he did escape 

Prisonbreaker, don't you come after me 
Prisonbreaker, searching since he broke free 
Prisonbreaker, oh, pretty pretty please 
Prisonbreaker, don't you come and murder me 

Don't murder me, 
Dont murder me, 
Oh, pretty pretty please 
Dont you come and murder me 


​8. wrong places

She thinks she can find it in a person 
Still growing up and just learning 
One look towards her way 
and she falls in a love sick daze 
Pursues happiness within a man 
Doing more than just holding hands 
Young, nieve, and doesn't understand 
But she's trying the best she can 

Chorus: 
Looking for love in all the wrong places 
Beat after beat her heart is racing 
Looking for love in all the same places 
One after another always chasing  

She goes to bed with them 
Cause no one explained to her there's a difference 
Between making love and futile sex 
Confuses the two and goes on to the next 
Been searching for it since she was a kid 
Playing with dolls and playing pretend 
Mom and dad weren't around to defend 
Always on her own even since back then 

Chorus 

Looking for love in all the wrong places 
Every other day seeing new faces 
Feels so close she can almost taste it 
Fingers crossed and a little bit wasted 
Looking for love in all the wrong places 
A little unsure if she's gonna make it 
Lost on the bed and fully naked 
Jumps first in no time is wasted 

Chorus X2 

Looking for love in all the wrong places 
Looking for love in all the wrong places 
Looking for love in all the wrong places 
Looking for love in all the wrong places 
Wrong places, wrong places


​9. empathy

Try walking a day in someone else's shoes 
It's called empathy 
If you can't relate or contemplate what others do 
Then don't talk to me 
Tell someone to get over it and see how well that goes 
It's poor advice 
Be a listening ear learn to understand what they know 
Be warm be nice 

Stop telling me to calm down 
I need these emotions to get out 
Let me cry, let me shout 
Let me scream scream until there's no more sound 
My vexation is validated 
Energies I've not created 
Barge in like a wild animal salivating 
Tower over me intimidating 

I never asked for this 
I never asked for this 
I never asked for this 

What's easy for you may be hard for others 
We all have our demons 
Some of us run right to them while some take cover 
We all have our reasons 
Yeah, it has a lot to do with perspective 
Everything is a choice 
But my life is in danger and I seek protection 
and no one can hear my voice 

Quit telling me it's all okay 
Walk in my shoes for a day 
Get a taste of my pain 
Then maybe you'll no longer look at me as if I'm insane 
My tears are justified 
The world isn't always kind
Sometimes happiness is hard to find 
I swear I'm not out of my mind 

I never asked for this 
I never asked for this 
I never asked for this this this this this 

I never asked for this pain
Some monsters can not be tamed 
It's getting dark here comes the rain 
Empathy our pain is the same 
We can't always have control 
Hard times tend to unfold 
Everyone, the young, the old 
Empathy we've all felt the cold 

We never asked for this 
We never asked for this 
We never asked for this 
We never asked for this 
No we never did 
We never asked for this, for this, for this 
It's called empathy 


​10. love and lust

You no longer look at me with the same passion 
The fire in your eyes is gone 
You told me that I was a goddess 
But it seems like your feelings didn't last long 
But when it was there, oh man, it was sweet 
I enjoyed every little minute 
Wish what we had was something we'd keep 
but I understand you're ready to finish 

Pre chorus: 
Before you get on out of here 
I wanna tell you something first 
Please let me whisper in your ear 
I promise what I gotta say won't hurt  

Chorus: 
You fill me with a burning desire 
You have all the perfect traits 
Thank you for being mine to inspire 
I really am gonna miss your taste 
Although what it was, was only temporary
I appreciate your love and lust 
I can't stop myself from caring 
And looking at you gives me such a rush 
Love and lust 
Love and lust 
Looking at you gives me such a rush 

Was it always about the physical touch 
Or was there ever any more meaning? 
Any moment now you'll call off your bluff 
and give back all of those wonderful feelings 
I'm not ready for it to come to an end 
But I see that you are 
Just so you know I'm still down to be friends 
Even if you rather see us apart 

I know that passion is still there somewhere 
Maybe you're forcing yourself to leave 
I know deep down you still care 
But if you must go can I have a goodbye kiss pretty pretty please? 

Pre chorus 

Chorus 

Love and lust 
Love and lust 
Looking at you gives me such a rush 
Oh love and lust 


11. change your mind

At the beginning it was nothing but sparks 
to be expected at the start 
Eagerly couldn't get enough 
Every day always calling each other up
You'd tell me I'm beautiful, I'd call you handsome 
Then all of a sudden you became a phantom 
Did I say something to offend? 
That was not the message I was trying to send

Let me know if you change your mind 
Hit me up if you want a good time 
I only want us to have some fun 
Please let me know cause I am not done 
Change your mind 

I've been here, sitting on the couch 
Picturing you, missing that good looking view 
I'm wondering what it is I should do? 
I move on even though I don't care to 
My days go back to being normal 
Back to serving tables and acting formal 
You still come to mind here and there 
The way you smiled and your long dark hair 

Let me know if you change your mind, change your mind, change your mind 
Hit me up if you want a good time, want a good time, want a good time 
I only want us to have some fun 
Please let me know cause I am not done 
Change your mind 

It's alright if you don't want me any more 
You don't feel the same as you did before 
But if you change your mind, change your mind, change your mind 
About us just remember I'm over here to give you love love love love love love love 

Let me know if you change your mind, change your mind, change your mind 
Hit me up if you want a good time, want a good time, want a good time 
I only want us to have some fun 
Please let me know cause I am not done 
Change your mind 
Let me know if you change your mind, change your mind, change your mind 
Hit me up if you want a good time, want a good time, want a good time 
I only want us to have some fun 
Please let me know cause I am not done 
Change your mind, change your mind, change your mind 


​12. mixed signals

You say words to me that touch my heart 
You're so hard working, funny, and smart 
You put me on a pedestal then applaud 
You love my differences instead of finding them odd
You do this for a good night or two 
Then other nights I feel like we might be through 
You disappear into the dark 
Tomorrow morning will be a fresh start 

Mixed signals, you're so close and yet so far away 
You're giving me mixed signals, I can't tell if you want me to go or stay 
Baby, I can't tell what you want 
You're giving me mixed signals 
I can't tell what you want 

After giving me so much love you'll vanish 
It almost feels like I've been abandoned
But give it a little time and then you're back again 
Ready to give me kisses and to hold my hand 
And all those old feelings come rushing through my bloodstream 
Physically and mentally you're both a nightmare and a dream 
And it's so real that I'm totally convinced 
But then you're gone again and it doesn't make sense   

Mixed signals, he loves me he loves me not 
You're giving me mixed signals, picking petals off of flowers filled with confusing thoughts 
Oh baby, I can't tell what you want 
You're giving me mixed signals, bring me honesty I'm not asking for a lot 

Waiting for a phone call that won't come for weeks 
Every time I'm ready to give up you finally speak 
I deal with the distance cause it's ecstasy when we meet 
On and off with you even though things can look so bleak 

Mixed Signals, you're so close and yet so far away 
You're giving me mixed signals, I can't tell if you want me to go or to stay 
Baby I can't tell you what you want 
Oh baby, I can't tell what you want 
You're giving me mixed signals bring me honesty I'm not asking for a lot 
You're giving me mixed signals 
You're giving me mixed signals 
You're giving me mixed signals 
Baby, I can't tell what you want 


13. giving up now

I've asked advice from my friends my family 
I've read stacks of help books 
Fading in and out of insanity 
Fall for the bait then get hooked 
Bending over backwards 
Holding my breath 
Afraid to make the wrong turns 
My energy burned till there's nothing left
I've tried being nice 
I've tried being rude 
I've forgiven every fight 
Dealt with every kind of attitude 
I've prayed to the gods 
I've wished for luck 
I've asked help from dad and mom 
But I always end up stuck 

Chorus:
I've tried so many things 
Gone different routes 
Every day the pain still stings 
I can hardly get off of the couch 
Got any more ideas 
Cause I'm starting to run out 
I've attempted everything 
So I'm giving up now 
Giving up now 
Giving up now 
If there's a way to solve this 
Well I don't know how 

I can't think of any more 
I've gone North, East, South, and West 
The help we need is way beyond support 
Just know that I really did try my best 
I've climbed every mountain 
Sailed every sea 
How many days I can't count them 
More like years I do believe 
And you're always like 
"Come here girl, good dog
Why don't you sit?" 
and then you're all like 
"What a good girl, don't go long 
behave well and you won't get hit" 
No to your commands 
I won't roll over 
I hope you can understand 
I can't do this drunk or sober 
I don't jump through hoops 
And I'm not your pet dog 
Can't do this just us or in a group 
Can't believe I've been trying this hard for so long

Chorus 

Giving up now 
Giving up now 
If there's a way to solve this 
Well i don't know how 

So I give up 
Go ahead set me free 
Oh, I've had enough 
So I got to leave
So I give up, give up 
Go ahead set me free 
Oh, I've had enough 
so I got to leave 

Chorus 

Giving up now 
Giving up now 
If there's a way to solve this 
Well I don't know how  


​14. neighborhood

Get me out of here 
Away from the drug addicts 
Left in a place of fear 
Not even sure how it happened 
Yells and screams through the wall 
Bumps and bangs 
Appliances incorrectly installed 
Chumps and change 

Dark shadowed shapes 
creep and crawl through the dark 
I'm wide awake 
I try to concentrate on my art 

But some guy by the mailbox 
Is dealing drugs 
And the man in the robe and fuzzy socks 
is watching everyone 
And the girl at the corner 
Is looking for a dollar 
Leather and fishnet wardrobe 
Need a good time give her a holla 
Stray cats litter the streets 
Along with cigarette butts 
Hobos take a seat at the bus stop 
covered in dirt and dust 

Chorus:
This is my neighborhood 
Leave, yeah, I know I should 
But it's also kind of good 
In a I don't have a lot of money kind of way 
Staying in my neighborhood for another day 

What can I say? 
It's really cheap 
I have to stay 
So I can eat 

Chorus 

Don't have have a lot of money kind of way 
Staying in my neighborhood for another day 


​15. unique

I've accepted the way things are 
I can't change you, nor do I want to 
In the end though it may tear us apart 
These feelings inside, my hands are tied 
It can be a challenge to let go 
Narrowed eyes glare at the anger we share 
Take a deep breath and go with the flow 
And just get along, is that so wrong? 

Chorus:
We all are different, we all are unique 
We should celebrate love and not hate 
Sometimes life don't make sense 
But it's not our place to critique 
Let's live in peace make the hate cease 
We all are different we all are unique 

I'm not gonna love absolutely everything 
About you and me and everyone in between 
Acceptance and respect will bring 
More comfort and ease more green to the trees 
No I won't always agree but I can't judge 
No, I'd rather love 
You and I have so many different beliefs 
But it's beauty if you look a little more closely 

Chorus 

We all are different we all are unique 


16. I just wanted you in my life

My friends told me you were bad news 
I didn't listen so now I'm playing the blues 
I wanted to give the benefit of a doubt 
But you messed up more times than I can count 
I thought I saw a good side 
But then again I must have been hypnotized 
You got so close to me 
I only wanted to see you happy 
But it's not like how it used to be 
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, 
La, da, da, da, da, da, da,  
I just wanted you in my life 
I just wanted you in my life 
I just wanted you in my life 

When you touched me it raised goosebumps 
Called me lovely for several months 
But did you ever mean what you said? 
Cause that look in your eyes tells me you wanna cut off my head 
I don't know what is real and what's not 
Am I more of an ordeal than you thought? 
I just wanted you in my life 
I just wanted you in my life 
I just wanted you in my life 

My friends told me you were bad news 
I didn't listen so now I'm playing the blues 
I wanted to give the benefit of a doubt 
But you messed up more times than I can count 
I thought I saw a good side 
But then again I must have been hypnotized 
You got so close to me 
I only wanted to see you happy 
But it's not like how it used to be 
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da 
I just wanted you in my life 
I just wanted you in my life 
I just wanted you in my life
