Альбом Chantal Kreviazuk

(You got a quarter for your phone?)

I'm jaded, and you're beautiful
I'm deluded, and I'm envious of you
You're carin' that I'm hurtin'
But I'm laughin' 'cause I'm lyin'
And you believe what I say to be true

This is the way God made me

No self-reliance, no social skills
You're confident and you express yourself so well
Your learned degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous, no invitations to the ball

This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me

No self-esteem, you're picture-perfect
You walk about so contented, the trees call out your name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame

This is the way God made me
This is the way (this is the way) God made me
(I think this is just the way I'm meant to be, yeah)
This is the way God made me
(Well there's no excuse it's just the way God made me)
This is the way (hey, yeah) God made me
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am

I was there
When you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar
I was there
When you were young and strong and perverted
And everything that makes a young man a star
Oh, you were a star

I was there
And I swear to God and on my mother's grave
On everything I have or ever will embrace
I was there
And I saw it with my own two eyes

And now it's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle

Do do do do do do 

I was there
Come on, tell me I wasn't worth stickin' it out for
Well, I was there
And I know I was worth it, 'cause if I wasn't worth it
That makes me worse off than you are

It's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
You know it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle

But don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now

Do do do do do do do
Don't lose sight of me now

'Cause I was there
When they dropped the bomb 
You know I remember the bomb
And I still hear the bomb 
And I still fight the bomb 
You know I still fear the bomb 
You know I still hate the bomb 
Sometimes I still get the call

So don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now

You know you're all around me, you're all around me
(Don't you lose ...)
I'm surrounded
(Sight of me now)
You know you're all me, you're all around me
(Don't you lose ...)
I'm surrounded
(Sight of me now)
You know you're all around me, you're all around me
(Don't you lose ...)
I'm surrounded
(Sight of me now)
Now it's all around me, you're all around me
You surround me like a circle

I'm surrounded, oh

Ah ah, like a circle around me ...

La la la la la la la la

All around me now

Oh ...

Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do

Well, I don't know when you learn it
But when you learn it you learn it fast
They're the ones who love to learn
And they're not fast they're nice guys
They finish last

They're waiting and wondering
Where did I go wrong

Don't be good, don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work you see

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

Well I don;t know when I learned it
But when I learned it I learned it fast
They;re the ones that love to love me
They're not fast they're nice guys
They finish last

They're waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go wrong

Don't be good, don't be good
Don't you be good to me
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work for me

Ah ah ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ...
Ah ...

Waiting and wondering, waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go wrong
They're waiting and wondering
Waiting and wondering, wondering

They're waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go, oh

Don't be good, don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good (don?t be good)
Though you should (though you should)
That won't work, you see
Don't be good (waiting and wondering)
Don't be good (waiting and wondering)
Don't you be good to me (wondering where did I go wrong)
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work, you see
So don't be good to me (don't be good, don't be good)
Don't be good to me (don't be good, don't be good to me)

Don't be good to me, good to me, good to me, good to me, good to me
You're so good for me, good for me, good for me

I carry my microphone with me
Everywhere I go
It makes for a very good deadweight
In case of an emergency
In case I need to break your face
In case I need you to be dead

Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that God made you and me
With the same hands, with the same hands

Ah, sit
I tell my doggie to sit
But I am not a dog
But you make the animal in me
Want to come out all over you

Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe God made you and me
With the same hands
With the same hands

Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know

Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that God made you and me
With the same hands
With the same hands (with the same hands, with the same hands, with the same hands)
With the same hands (with the same hands, with the same hands, with the same hands)
(With the same hands, with the same hands, with the same hands)

And it's hard to believe that I'm still a believer

Please don't go
I cannot breathe you in
Your air is too thick for me
And it makes my lungs sting

Please don't go
I cannot walk beside
Think I'll stay behind a mile
'Cause I don't need you crampin' my style

And do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Please don't go
Without you I am weak
I find myself drinkin' and sinkin' and seekin'

Please don't go
Sometimes it gets so cold
That I'd rather grab for a blanket instead
Of getting into your comfort zone

Do you still have grace
And mercy, sweet mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Ooh ... Oooh ...
Oh oh oh ...
Oh ...

I know I've wronged you
I know I've hurt you so many times
I hope I haven't scarred you

You still have grace
And you still have this mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
You still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

If you keep kissin' my face
Someday I'll no longer do you wrong

I'll be the girl with the long blond hair
And the really pale skin, if you care
I sit in the corner of the room
Cross-legged and quiet, filled with doom, mmhm

I never ever liked the smell in here
It's cold and wet and reeks of beer
The lights are turned out permanently
But that's OK 'cause I don't want to see

Wayne
Wait for me
And take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me

Who's the strange lady with the big silly hair
And berries on her face, dressed like a pear
Do I really have to hold her hand
And pretend she's mommy, your wife and man
When I know you're not my mommy

It's crowded and I feel lost in here
I'm trying to find a familiar fear
I look everywhere but I just can't see
There's not anything that reminds me of me, oh

Wayne
Wait for me
Take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me

You made me fresh as flowers
Under these rocks and stones

Wayne
Wait for me
And take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then wait for me, no oh oh
Take me in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me

It scares me to speak my mind
It might sound self-absorbed
I don't say half of what I think
I wonder what I'm thinkin' for

I'm smellin' dead flowers
And listenin' to the walls again
I'm drinkin' from a leaky faucet
And writin' with this dried up pen

Wish I still had my imaginary friend

And who needs to listen, well ...
What do I have to sell
Everyone's just waitin' for their own turn
Kinda like show and tell

I'm smellin' dead flowers
And listenin' to the walls again
I'm drinkin' from a leaky faucet
And writin' with this dried up pen

Wish I still had my imaginary friend
Wish I still had my imaginary friend

Someone to listen, someone to laugh
Someone to cry at the right time

I'm smellin' dead flowers
And listenin' to the walls again
I'm drinkin' from a leaky faucet
And writin' with this dried up pen
You know that I'm smellin' dead flowers
And listenin' to the walls
Drinkin' from a leaky faucet
And writin' with this dried up pen

Wish I still had my imaginary friend
Wish I still had my imaginary friend

And I would call him up
But I don't remember his name

Ooh ... ooh ...
Ho ...
Ah ho ho ho ah ...
Oh ...

There's a man outside my door tonight
He cries for help, he sings a pleadin' song
The times are tough for everyone
Gotta hold on to what I got, and just kinda cruise along

Well, I do
Want to be helpful
But it's cold and I'm told
You can't be too careful

Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother
And into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another
Do do do do do

You can never tell who your neighbour is
Or what he's doin' tonight
Or who his friends are
Well, you don't know where he's from
Or where he?s been, or who he knows
You know you can't be too careful
These days

Well, I do
Want to be helpful
Well but it's cold and I'm told
It might just be the devil

Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another

Well, I don't take chances
And I don't take time to see
And I don't take nothin' from nobody
No way, not me

Do do do do do
Ho ah ...
Do do do do do do do

Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another (do do do do do)
Out of the mouth of a mother
Ho ...
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
Ho ...
And out of the hands of a child

Into the eyes of a child
Into the ears of a child
Into the heart of a child
Do do do do do
Into the heart of a child
Do do do do do
Into the heart of a child

Ooh ... oh ... you know it
You know I'd rather disagree

You tell me what you want from me
Well, I'm not sayin' I'll believe
I could solve your mystery
But I would rather disagree

Ooh ... you know it, yeah
You know it
I'd rather disagree

You say the truth will set me free
So how come you're comin' down on me
You think it's real if you can see
Well, I don't take to that philosophy

'Cause you know
I would I would I would I would I ...
Yeah
I would I would I would I would I ...
I would I would I would I would I ...
Yeah
I would rather disagree
Yeah
I would rather disagree

Do you see yourself inside of me
And do I take away your miseries
Am I just one more catastrophe
Yeah, I always say what I don?t mean

You know
I would I would I would I would I ...
I would I would I would I would I ...
I would I would I would I would I ...
Yeah
I would rather disagree
Yeah
I would rather disagree
I'd rather disagree
I would rather disagree

Don't you feed me, I'm full
You know I'd starve before I'd fall
Don't bleed me, don't bleed me

Even if you're right
Even if I'm wrong
Even if you're right
Even if you're wrong

I'd rather disagree
I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
Oh, I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
(Even if you're right)
I would rather disagree
And I would rather disagree
(Even if you're right)
(Even if I'm wrong)
I would rather disagree ...

When I go swimming
In your intellect
The water's so shallow
And the dialect is so phony
But I eat it up like bologna
I can't get enough

Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I can't comprehend it
'Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent

When you go fishing
For a compliment
It's so, so obvious
And I can't help it
So I put up with it
'Cause you're my habit
And I just can't quit

Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I keep on pretendin'
'Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent

The world keeps spinnin'
Lucifer keeps sinnin'
The joker keeps grinnin'
But I need a new beginning

Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I don't recommend it
'Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I can't comprehend it

Baby, be my co-dependent

You're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a settin' sun
You're wood burnin' outside
There's a fire glowin'
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one

You bring me
To the heart of a golden man
You bring me
To the natural truth
You take me
To the solid hollow
And keep me sailing
This ocean of youth

That's why you're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a setttin' sun
You're wood bunin' outside
There's a fire glowin'
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one

So take me to an altar of diamonds
And run with me through sheets of jungle rain
Show me all your manly mystery
And let me heal your beautiful pain

Be my island in crowds of faces
My oasis
Be there

And lead me to the holy water
And introduce me to the place you are from
Wherever you go you know I will follow
So take me there and I will come
I will come

You're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a settin' sun
You're wood burnin' outside
There's a, a fire glowin'
You're my sweet green apples
You must be the one

I'm sayin' you're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a settin' sun
You're wood burnin' outside
There's a fire glowin'
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one

Sweet as green apples
You must be the one

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

Never been here before
Never opened up this door
But I got a feelin' it's just like the others
Never heard him laugh before
Never felt him feel before
But I got a feelin' it's just like the others

He's got a big boot
And he's got a big hand
And he's got a big fist
To put me down

Here we go again

Never heard him lie before
Never seen him cry before
But I got a feelin' it's like the others
Never heard him dream before
Oh, I never felt it before, oh
But I got a feelin' it's just like the others

He's got a big boot
He's got a big hand
He's got a big fist to put me down
He's got a big mouth
And I know he's got some big words
He's got a big knife to cut me down

Is it all ...
Is it all because of the fall
But it's not my fault

How long, long ...
How long ...
How long do I have to long

Never been here before
Never walked through this door
And I got a feelin' it won't be like the others

Even though he's got a big boot
And he's got a big hand
And he's got a big fist, he won't put me down
He's got a big mouth
Bet he's got a lotta big words
I bet he's got a big knife but you know ...
Cut me, cut me down, oh ooh oh
A big fist and he cut me down
Bet he's got a big mouth
Bet he's got some big words
Come on, let's see your big knife
Why don't you try to cut me down

-------------------
Dominance in devotion
Grabs us and disappears
Have to take some direction
Through the glass that we must break
Zero to none
Killing radical
The instinct to destroy what's left
Lives in everyone
All prepared for the moment
Yet to come complete the rest
Patriots all confused by
Characters of broken men
Zero to none
Killing radical
The instinct to destroy what's left
Lives on in everyone
A dream within a dream
A womb within a grave
Calm without a riot
Every heart, every soul, all the trust
Terror wars are radical
A dream within a dream
A womb within a grave
Calm within a riot
All the peace, all the hope, all the trust
As desperation takes everyone
God's hell is radical

I don't know
What you're leaving behind
I'm not so sure that
I really want to find out
You don't necessarily
Have plenty of time
You can say it now
For the rest of your life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

I don't know
What was wrong with my mind
I walked around like
I had a force inside and on my heart
Now I feel like
I got plenty of time
Cause I'm safe from the pain
For the rest of my life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

You can say that for the rest of your life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all i've got to give
And I give it all

You said it

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

[Spoken:]
That puts me in a good mood
Thinking about surfing
Wow, we should go surfing
We should go surfing
Surf this groovy vibe

Ah, I'm gonna be a rich girl, some kind of philanthropist
I'm gonna high and get pissed, I'll be addicted to nothing
Gonna be a wife and a mom and when I call people will come
Everyone will listen to me, but my hands will stay clean

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

I'm gonna go hungry, gonna fight the good fight
I'm gonna learn to go without but I'll feel no hunger pain
I'm gonna carry the cross, I can carry the weight of the world
And cry all the tears but I know it's not gonna hurt

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

I'll see my dealer
I'll see my dealer
Oh oh oh oh

I'm gonna be a rich girl, some kind of philanthropist
I'm gonna high, get pissed, not be addicted to nothing
Gonna be a wife and a mom, and when I call people will come
Everybody will listen to me, but my hands will stay clean

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

I'll see my dealer
I'll see my dealer
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Spoken:]
Wow surfing was great wasn't it?
Man, I'm tired
I love surfing
Nice day, eh?

I.........
I.........
All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
This early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Chorus:]
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go

I.........
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now
They don't mean a thing
Every place I go
I think of you
Every song I sing
I sing for you
When I come back
I'll wear your wedding ring

[Chorus]

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the time when I don't have to say........

[Chorus]

Leaving on a jet plane
[repeat]
