Ma mere suivi sa petite sur les Indes
Le mango et le roti walla sur leurs chemins
C'est moi pour oublie ces problemes
C'est maintenant que je t'aime

Demande pas comment je vais
Je veux pas en le parler
Demande pas d'ou vien ma encette grand journee
Papa va se marier
Mama cesse de pleurer
Mon papa va se marier
Je ne le veux pas en parler
Mon papa va se marier

you live so far away from me,
fate brought you into my world,
and then one night
your eyes were burning through my soul,
now i can't go home anymore...

that night you lay there beside me,
you whispered softly in my ear,
you said that you would always love and wait for me,
now i can't go home anymore...

send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,

my mama followed her lover to india
the mongoose and the roti walla on your front porch
tear me from a growling tiger's mouth
from then on i'm in love…

don't ask me how i am today
don't wanna talk about it
don't ask what the matter is
today's the big day
daddy's getting married
mama wipe yer tears away
my daddy's getting married
i don't know what to say

he keeps looking at me with his groping, watching eyeballs:
gross! we women, we are supposed to just drop our eyes and be quiet.
just don't look at the gross, gross man and hope he quits ogling.

believe it or not, i want to flip him the bird ya know

but i don't, cuz we women don't. once i gave the finger to a bunch of

the last time i fell in love
she had red, red, hair and a ring in her lip
she called me "jellybean" while playing basketball
it was so divine... but never like this!

and you are my entity
you are my dream
yeah you're my dream:

lazy saturday like a kitten
in the sunshine warm as arkansas
i was your tires with rose water
after the mud bog i bathe you in my love

you are my entity

can you remember chestnut street
and algae ripping at our feet
i was just a little girl
and you were my whole world.

what i'd give to be lying in your arms,
what i'd give to be your girl again:

did you know that you were my first love
did you know it's you i still dream of
i've grown up a lot since then
my nostalgic heart will never mend.

what i'd give to be lying in your arms,

i don't wanna wait forever
but you know i would
you'd better hope i don't say "now or never"
'cause you know i could.
my whole life i'm searchin' for
someone like you
to take me gently by the hand
and show me what to do.

my whole life,
it's not over
it's my whole life...

if you're gonna say you love me
then, i love you, too
i don't wanna hear you tell me "shut up again"

falling off of my own skateboard
praying to my almighty lord
look up and what do i see
your face smiling down at me!
you look my body up and down
as i lay there upon the ground
i know, my love, i could not look much better:

succulent. you make me feel succulent.
yeah, ya do.

(if you're nice to me, i'll double you on my bmx)

i wonder if you think of me
if you are real or just a dream

my mind's wandering
i savor the passion that your torture brings
my breath's quickening
inhaling the perfume of my sweet sin
i dance on your grave
i pray i am the one that you choose to save
my fingers quiver
dry mouth silkening my boy you are drinking from my river.

it's just a little love song
just to tell you that
i'm coming over you, darling
just a little love song

lying in your hotel bed you cry
for the years that were wasted
and time gone by
darling girl can you not see
your soul is bright
i wish you could know
it's all gonna be all right:

a little determination and a little more pride
a little determination will ease your pain inside.

let me tell you
that you're never alone
yeah, yeah:

red wine stains your lips and mind

it seemed like days had passed...
are you finished
i could no longer
move my arms.

the only thing left in the room
was the silence:
can you still hear the breaking glass
when it hit my face

even the mice were laughing
at the smell of pain,
here we go again
to the depths of no return:

please remember: i know who you are.
someday, i'll have the strength to tell.

my mama followed her lover to india
the mongoose and the roti walla on your front porch
tear me from a growling tiger's mouth
from then on i'm in love:

don't ask me how i am today
don't wanna talk about it
don't ask what the matter is
today's the big day
daddy's getting married
mama wipe yer tears away
my daddy's getting married
i don't know what to say
my daddy's getting married

all i wanted was to be by myself,
(leave me alone)
all you did was hurt me
instead of help,
(leave me alone)
leave me alone!!

as i touch myself
my cold body,
(leave me alone)
you promised death would truly
set me free:
(leave me alone)
leave me alone!

i never thought in a million years
that you would hurt me,
now i pray to god every single day
that you'll desert me,

my mother gave me one more reason
not to call you on the phone.
she told me, "chase girls like that
all yer life and you'll wind up alone."
i guess i would just like to take you
out for a cappuccino,
you refuse my advances once again,
i can't hear one more "no!"

i wish you would get over him,
i'll change yer mind about everything.

when i wink at you, you always
turn the other cheek,
