Dirty Mind

There's something about U, baby
It happens every time
Whenever I'm around U, baby
I get a dirty mind
It doesn't matter where we are
It doesn't matter who's around
It doesn't matter
I just wanna lay U down
In my daddy's car
It's U I really wanna drive
But U never go 2 far
I may not be your kind of man
I may not be your style
But honey, all I wanna do
Is just love U 4 a little while
If U got the time
I'll give U some money
2 buy a dirty mind
Don't misunderstand me
I never fool around
But honey, U got me on my knees
Won't U please let me lay U down?
(Down, down, down, down, ...) {fade}
I really get a dirty mind (mind, mind, mind)
Whenever U're around
It happens 2 me every time (time, time, time)
U just gotta let me lay ya, gotta let me lay ya, lay ya!
U just gotta let me lay ya, gotta let me lay U down!
In my daddy's car
It's U I really wanna drive
Underneath the stars
I really get a dirty mind
Whenever U're around
I don't wanna hurt U, baby
I only wanna lay U down

When You Were Mine

When U were mine
I gave U all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
It's just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
And U were so strange
U didn't have the decency 2 change the sheets
Oh girl, when U were mine
I used 2 let U wear all my clothes
U were so fine (So fine)
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
CHORUS:
I know (I know) that U're going with another guy
I don't care (don't care) cuz I love U, baby, that's no lie
I love U more than I did when U were mine
When U were mine
U were kindasorta my best friend
So I was blind (So blind)
I let U fool around
I never cared (Didn't care)
I never was the kind 2 make a fuss
When he was there
Sleeping in between the 2 of us
CHORUS
When U were mine
U were all I ever wanted 2 do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with U
CHORUS
When U were mine, oh no
Love U, baby, love U, baby
When U were mine

Do It All Night

Pardon me, I wanna talk 2 U
I may be kinda shy but I just gotta tell U what I'm gonna do
Someone over there said he wants 2 get 2 know ya
I... I don't care cuz I really wanna hold ya
But I'm so scared cuz he might do something 2 U that U'd like
I've been waiting such a bloody long time
Just 2 get this close 2 U
Now that U're near me, I want U 2 hear me
And tell U what I wanna do
Oh, I wanna do it, do it all night
I wanna do it, do it 2 U right
Giving up so easy is something that I'd never do
But I'm so easy, so easy when it comes 2 loving U
Can't U understand that I wanna hug and kiss U?
I'll do anything I can just 2 give U happiness
And baby, drown, baby, drown, baby, in your arms
Come on, baby, can't U get 2 this?
I've been waiting such a bloody long time
And U been talking 2 someone else
Now that I've got your attention
There's something I wanna mention
I wanna do it, do it all night
I wanna do it, oh, do it 2 U right
Oh yeah
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Do it all night
I... I wanna do it, yeah, do it 2 U right
Do it all night, I wanna do it, oh, do it all night
Gotta do U, baby, do it (oh no, oh yeah), do it 2 U right
I gotta, gotta do it, gotta do it, oh no, do it all night
Do it, gotta do it, gotta do it, oh yeah (oh no), do it 2 U right
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...
(Do it all night)
Oh no (Do it, baby, do it, baby, do it all night)
(Do it 2 U right)
Do it 2 U right, gotta do it

Gotta Broken Heart Again

I gotta broken heart again
Cuz my only supposed 2 be friend
U see he, he stole my old lady away from me
And now I'm just as blue as I can be
I gotta broken heart again
Cuz I ain't got no money 2 spend
U see I, I spent it all on a long distance phone call
Beggin' her 2 please come home, yeah
Ah yeah
It doesn't matter what I do
I can't stop, ah, thinkin' about U
The little things U said, the things U do 2 me in bed
Oh baby, I can't get U outta my head
Oh, gotta broken heart again, yeah
This time it's serious, it feels just like the end
Cuz once your love has gone away
There ain't nothin', nothin' left 2 say

Uptown

She saw me walking down the streets of your fine city
It kinda turned me on when she looked at me and said, "Come here"
Now I don't usually talk 2 strangers, but she looked so pretty
What can I lose if I, I just give a little ear?
"What's up little girl? I ain't got time 2 play"
Baby didn't say 2 much - she said, "Are U gay?"
Kinda took me by surprise, I didn't know what 2 do
I just looked her in her eyes and I said, "No, are U?"
(Said 2 myself, said)
She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy little mixed up dame
She's just a victim of society and all its games
Now where I come from
We don't let society tell us how it's supposed 2 be
Our clothes, our hair, we don't care
It's all about being there
Everybody's going Uptown - that's where I wanna be
Uptown - set your mind free
Uptown - got my body hot
Get down - I don't wanna stop, no!
Soon as we got there
Good times were rolling
White, Black, Puerto Rican, everybody just a-freakin'
Good times were rolling
She started dancing in the streets, oh!
The girl, she's just gone mad
U know, she even made love 2 me, ooh!
The best that I ever had, oh yeah
I don't usually talk 2 strangers
This time it's alright
See, she got me hot, I couldn't stop
Good times were rolling all night, all night, yeah
Now where I come from, we don't give a damn
We do whatever we please
It ain't about no downtown, nowhere bound, narrow-minded drag
It's all about being free
Everybody's going Uptown - that's where I wanna be
Uptown - U can set your mind free, yeah
Uptown - keep your body hot
Get down - I don't wanna stop, no!
Uptown (Oh, oh yeah)
Uptown (Everybody's goin', everybody's goin', everybody gotta gotta)
Uptown (Gotta go, gotta go go go, gotta go 2)
Uptown (Oh)
Uptown (Yeah, yeah, oh no)
Uptown (Gotta go go go - baby, I gotta go, gotta go)
Uptown (Come on, come on, U, U have 2, U gotta go)
Uptown (Oh no, yeah, now baby)
Yeah!

Head

Remember when I met U, baby
U were on your way 2 be wed
U were such a sexy thing
I loved the way U walked, the things U said
And I was so nonchalant
I didn't want U 2 be misled
But I've gotta have U, baby
I gotta have U in my bed
And U said - "I'm just a virgin and I'm on my way 2 be wed
But U're such a hunk so full of spunk, I'll give U..."
CHORUS:
Head till U're burnin' up
Head till U get enough
Head till U're love is red
Head - love U till U're dead
U know U're good, girl
I think U like 2 go down
U wouldn't have stopped but ah...
I came on your wedding gown
And U said - "I must confess, I wanna get undressed and go 2 bed"
With that, I jammed
U fool, U married me instead!
Now morning, noon, and night I give U...
CHORUS
Ooh yeah! {x3}
Head {x4}
Oooh!
CHORUS
Head (Oh no)
Head
Head (Oh no, baby, no)
Head
Head (Ow!)
Head
Head (But U said I could)

Sister

I was only 16 but I guess that's no excuse
My sister was 32, lovely and loose
She don't wear no underwear
She said it only gets in her hair
And it's got a funny way of stoppin' the juice
My sister never made love 2 anyone else but me
She's the reason 4 my, uh, sexuality
She showed me where it's supposed 2 go
A blowjob doesn't mean blow
Incest is everything it's said 2 be
Oh sister - don't put me on the street again
Oh sister - I just wanna be your friend
I was only 16 and only half a man
My sister didn't give a goddamn
She only wanted 2 turn me out
She'd take a whip 2 me until I shout
Oh motherfucker, she's a motherfucker, can't U understand?
Oh sister - don't put me on the street again
Oh sister - I just wanna be your friend
I know what U want me 2 do
Put me on the street and make me blue
Oh sister!
Oh sister!
Oh!
