This Means War Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Climb into the ring for a battle that you can't win
Swing as hard as you can swing, it will still mean nothing
Should’ve seen it coming, it had to happen sometime
But you went and brought a knife to an all out gun fight
[Pre-Chorus]
And the only thing to save is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave
[Chorus]
You’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are?
Is this what you came for?
Well, this means war
[Verse 2]
Say anything you want, but talk will get you nowhere
The only thing you've brought was psychological warfare
Well, there’s no getting out
And now you gotta wonder
Who will dig you out when you’re six feet under?
[Pre-Chorus]
And the only thing to save is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave
[Chorus]
You’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are?
Is this what you came for?
Well, this means war
[Pre-Chorus]
And the only thing to save is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave
[Chorus]
You’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are?
Is this what you came for?
Well, this means war
Well, this means war
Bottoms Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey
Who's coming with me, to kick a hole in the sky?
I love the whiskey, let's drink that shit till it's dry
So grab a Jim Beam, JD, whatever you need
Have a shot from the bottle, doesn't matter to me
Another round, fill her up, hammer down, grab a cup, bottoms up
[Chorus]
This is what it's all about, no one can slow us down
We ain't gonna stop until the clock runs out (Bottoms up)
Hell can't handle all of us, so get your bottles up
Drinking every drop until it all runs out
Another round, fill her up, hammer down, grab a cup, bottoms up
Ooh, bottoms up
[Verse 2]
So grab your best friends and make your way to the bar
But keep your distance, we're gonna light it on fire
We're drinking black tooth, 80 proof, straight gasoline
Slam as much as you can take and hand the bottle to me
Another round, fill her up, hammer down, grab a cup, bottoms up
[Chorus]
This is what it's all about, no one can slow us down
We ain't gonna stop until the clock runs out (Bottoms up)
Hell can't handle all of us, so get your bottles up
Drinking every drop until it all runs out
Another round, fill her up, hammer down, grab a cup, bottoms up
Ooh, bottoms up
[Bridge]
This is what it's all about, no one can slow us down
We ain't gonna stop until they throw us all out
Hell can't handle all of us, so get your bottles up
Drinking every drop until it all runs out
[Chorus]
This is what it's all about, no one can slow us down
We ain't gonna stop until the clock runs out (Bottoms up)
Hell can't handle all of us, so get your bottles up
Drinking every drop until it all runs out
Another round, fill her up, hammer down, grab a cup, bottoms up
[Outro]
Another round, fill her up, hammer down, grab a cup, bottoms up
Hey, bottoms up
When We Stand Together Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One more depending on a prayer
And we all look away
People pretending everywhere
It's just another day
There's bullets flying through the air
And they still carry on
We watch it happen over there
And then just turn it off
[Chorus]
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
There's no giving in
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win
[Verse 2]
They tell us everything's alright
And we just go along
How can we fall asleep at night
When something's clearly wrong?
When we could feed a starving world
With what we throw away
But all we serve are empty words
That always taste the same
[Chorus]
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
There's no giving in
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
[Bridge]
The right thing to guide us
Is right here inside us
No one can divide us
When the light is nearly gone
But just like a heartbeat
The drumbeat carries on
And the drumbeat carries on
(Just like a heartbeat)
[Chorus]
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
There's no giving in
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win
Midnight Queen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm in a bar full of bikers and a handful of junkies
It's a 50-50 chance that they're planning to jump me
Anybody drinking here is lucky just to leave here alive
Oh! Well, my favorite little waitress has a hold on my eye
But there's a shotgun loaded hidden under the bar
Her finger's on the trigger if anybody gets outta line
[Pre-Chorus]
There's other places that are better to go
But I'm addicted to the red light show
Feel like a king and she's my ace in the hole
And I can't get enough of the things that she does
[Chorus]
She's gonna be, my, midnight queen
(Lock 'n' load and I'm ready to go!)
She's gonna lick, my, pistol clean
(She's got a hold on me and ain't letting go)
And I can't get enough of the things that she does
[Verse 2]
Well, she walks like a model and she talks like a trucker
Doesn't want a lollipop, but she sure loves a sucker
They're closing in around her, I'm cutting to the front of the line
Oh! She's got a bottle of Tequila and a lime for her lips
Lay that body on the bar and put that salt on her hips
I was lying when I told her that I'm only gonna lick her tonight!
[Pre-Chorus]
There's other places that are better to go
But I'm addicted to the red light show
Feel like a king and she's my ace in the hole
And I can't get enough of the things that she does
[Chorus]
She's gonna be, my, midnight queen
(Lock 'n' load and I'm ready to go!)
She's gonna lick, my, pistol clean
(She's got a hold on me and ain't letting go)
She's gonna be, my, sex machine
(And I can never get her under control)
She's gonna climb all over me
(I'm like a pony in my own rodeo)
And I can't get enough of the things that she does
[Bridge]
And I can't get enough of the things that she does
[Chorus]
She's gonna be, my, midnight queen
(Lock 'n' load and I'm ready to go!)
She's gonna lick, my, pistol clean
(She's got a hold on me and ain't letting go)
She's gonna be, my, sex machine
(And I can never get her under control)
She's gonna climb all over me
(I'm like a pony in my own rodeo)
And I can't get enough of the things that she does
Gotta Get Me Some Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I went out on the town with a friend last weekend
His ex-girlfriend's friend was there alone
She bought a couple rounds and I got the feeling
She could really handle alcohol
Another one down and headed off the deep end
The more we drank, the less that we had on
And it turns out she's got everything I want, all rolled into one
[Chorus 1]
She smokes a little home grown, drinks a little Cuervo
Still a little down home, there was never a doubt
She's got a fast car, hotter than a dance bar
Looking like a rock star, she'll be the talk of the town
You know, she's got everything I want, but all rolled into one
Gotta get me some
[Post-Chorus]
God almighty, look at that body
Flickers like a sticker on a new Ferrari
She's a scene from a Baywatch rerun
Hotter than a barrel on a squeezed machine gun
[Verse 2]
Well, she can get lower than a Maserati
Never seen somebody move that way
Everywhere she goes there's an instant party
Everybody wants to know her name
And it turns out she's got everything I want, all rolled into one
[Chorus 2]
She smokes a little home grown, drinks a little Cuervo
Still a little down home, there was never a doubt
She's got a fast car, hotter than a dance bar
Looking like a rock star, and she likes to go out and
Get her hands on
Anything to stand on
Anything to dance on
And she'd be swinging around
Under the hot lights, underneath the spotlight
Even going all night
She'll be the talk of the town, you know
She's got everything I want, but all rolled into one
Gotta get me some
[Post-Chorus]
God almighty, look at that body
Flickers like a sticker on a new Ferrari
She's a scene from a Baywatch rerun
Hotter than a barrel on a squeezed machine gun
[Chorus 2]
She smokes a little home grown, drinks a little Cuervo
Still a little down home, there was never a doubt
She's got a fast car, hotter than a dance bar
Looking like a rock star, and she likes to go out and
Get her hands on
Anything to stand on
Anything to dance on
And she'd be swinging around
Under the hot lights, underneath the spotlight
Even going all night
She'll be the talk of the town, you know
She's got everything I want, but all rolled into one
Gotta get me some
[Outro]
I gotta get me some
Gotta get me some
Lullaby Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that, it's never that bad
Take it from someone who's been where you're at
Laid out on the floor
And you're not sure you can take this anymore
[Chorus]
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now, I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes (Close your eyes)
Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
[Verse 2]
Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
'Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about the easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you're not done
You're far too young
And the best is yet to come
[Chorus]
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now, I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes (Close your eyes)
Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
[Bridge]
Well, everybody's hit the bottom
Everybody's been forgotten
When everybody's tired of being alone
Yeah, everybody's been abandoned
And left a little empty handed
So if you're out there barely hanging on
[Chorus]
Just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now, I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone (Oh)
So just close your eyes (Close your eyes)
Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby (Oh)
Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Kiss It Goodbye Lyrics
[Intro]
Kiss it goodbye, goodbye
Kiss it goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 1]
Hollywood is plastic
But easy on the eyes
Big Apple is fantastic
But cuts you down to size
They'll treat you like a doormat
Expecting you to fail
Says right across your forehead
Integrity for sale
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll be on TV
When it starts to snow in hell
(Teach you that you better flaunt it
Make you wish you never got it)
You won't believe me
So go and see it for yourself
[Chorus]
That brunettes move to New York
Blondes love California
East coast digs the cocaine
West coast marijuana
Don't be surprised
When you swallow more than pride
It's tough to see through bullshit when it's up above your eyes
(Kiss it goodbye)
[Verse 2]
Stealing comes with practice
Lying comes with ease
But neither one is faster
Than falling to your knees
Money leads to fame
And fame is the disease
The latest epidemic
Reality TV
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll be on TV
When it starts to snow in hell
(Teach you that you better flaunt it
Make you wish you never got it)
You won't believe me
So go and see it for yourself
[Chorus]
That brunettes move to New York
Blondes love California
East coast digs the cocaine
West coast marijuana
Don't be surprised
When you swallow more than pride
It's tough to see through bullshit
When it's up above your eyes
[Bridge]
They won't let you get out alive
Your ass, grab it, and kiss it goodbye
They won't let you get out alive
Your ass, grab it, and kiss it goodbye
And kiss it goodbye
(Teach you that you better flaunt it
Make you wish you never got it)
[Chorus]
So let's move to New York
Or out to California
East coast digs the cocaine
West coast marijuana
Don't be surprised
When you swallow more than pride
It's tough to see through bullshit
When it's up above your eyes
[Outro]
They won't let you get out alive
Your ass, grab it, and kiss it goodbye
They won't let you get out alive
Your ass, grab it, and kiss it goodbye
Trying Not to Love You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You call to me, and I fall at your feet
How could anyone ask for more?
(How could anyone ask for more?)
And our time apart, like knives in my heart
How could anyone ask for more?
(How could anyone ask for more?)
[Pre-Chorus]
But if there's a pill to help me forget
God knows I haven't found it yet
But I'm dying to, God I'm trying to
[Chorus]
'Cause trying not to love you, only goes so far
And trying not to need you, is tearing me apart
Can't see the silver lining, from down here on the floor
And I just keep on trying, but I don't know what for
'Cause trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
Only makes me love you more
[Verse 2]
And this kind of pain, only time takes away
That's why it's harder to let you go (That's why it's harder to let you go)
And nothing I can do, without thinking of you
That's why it's harder to let you go (That's why it's harder to let you go)
[Pre-Chorus]
But if there's a pill to help me forget
God knows I haven't found it yet
But I'm dying to, God I'm trying to
[Chorus]
'Cause trying not to love you, only goes so far
Trying not to need you, is tearing me apart
Can't see the silver lining, from down here on the floor
And I just keep on trying, but I don't know what for
'Cause trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
[Bridge]
So I sit here divided, just talking to myself
Was it something that I did? Was there somebody else?
When a voice from behind me, that was fighting back tears
Sat right down beside me, whispered right in my ear
Said, I've been dying to tell you
[Chorus]
Trying not to love you, only went so far
Trying not to need you, was tearing me apart
Now I see the silver lining, from what we're fighting for
We just keep on trying, we could be much more
'Cause trying not to love you
Oh, yeah, trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
Only makes me love you more
Holding On to Heaven Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And if forever never comes then I
And if forever never comes then I
And if forever never comes then I
I'll hold on and hold on
[Verse 2]
I keep listening to my chest
For a beat, but there's nothing left
It's been a week since I’ve seen you
And I still can’t believe it
'Cause I'm dying inside, alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And every day we gotta be apart
I'm like a baby with a broken heart
But the second that I see you
You will know how much I need you
'Cause I'll never be letting you go
(Now you know I)
[Chorus]
I'm lost without you
And there's nothing I can do
You're the one I can't go without
If I ain't holding on to you then I'll be holding out forever
I've got you now and
I'm not letting go of you
Never be together long enough
'Cause every moment I’m with you
It's like I'm holding on to heaven
And if forever never comes then I
And if forever never comes then I
And if forever never comes then I
I'll hold on, and hold on
[Verse 3]
And if I could write a symphony
Then baby, you would be my melody
And you would flow like a river
Slowly going on forever
Like a feather that’s blowing away
[Pre-Chorus]
Like everyone that needs a fairy tale
Like every mother's love that never fails
Like every game that needs a player
Every sinner needs a savior
I'm the villain you're willing to save
(Now you know why)
[Chorus]
I'm lost without you
And there's nothing I can do
You're the one I can't go without
If I ain't holding on to you then I'll be holding out forever
I've got you now and
I'm not letting go of you
Never be together long enough
'Cause every moment I'm with you
It's like I'm holding on to heaven
[Verse 4]
And I'm willing to wait
(Willing to wait)
Just to see you another day
What I'm waiting for will wash this pain away
And it's never too late (Never too late)
[Pre-Chorus]
And if forever never comes then I
And if forever never comes then I
And if forever never comes then I
I'll hold on and hold on
Now you know why
[Chorus]
I'm lost without you
And there’s nothing I can do
You're the one I can't go without
If I ain't holding on to you then I'll be holding out forever
I've got you now and
I'm not letting go of you
Never be together long enough
'Cause every moment I’m with you
It's like I'm holding on to heaven
[Outro]
And if forever never comes then I
And if forever never comes then I
(Now you know I)
And if forever never comes then I
'Cause every moment I’m with you
It's like I'm holding on to heaven
And if forever never comes then I
And if forever never comes then I
(Now you know I)
And if forever never comes then I
'Cause every moment I’m with you
It's like I'm holding on to heaven
Everything I Wanna Do Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's got a dirty mouth
Tastes so clean with every taste of me
You know that every single thing she does
Does for me, because it's what I'm dreaming of
And she likes to take her time
More than fortunate, form of torture
And she likes to touch and tease
It's always fun for me, it's always unbelievable
[Pre-Chorus]
You and me, sitting in a tree
F-U-C-K-I-N-G
[Chorus]
She'll do any naughty thing I want
My baby, she's up for anything I wanna do
She's a giver and it gets her off
My baby, she's up for anything I wanna do
If it was on TV, or ever in a magazine
She could take a fantasy and make it a reality
She delivers every dirty thought
My baby, she's into everything I wanna do
[Verse 2]
And she knows every spot
Exactly where it's at, and she could draw a map
I tell you, her tongue is like a weapon
And she's always threatening to be the death of me
[Pre-Chorus]
You and me, sitting in a tree
F-U-C-K-I-N-G
[Chorus]
She'll do any naughty thing I want
My baby, she's up for anything I wanna do
She's a giver and it gets her off
My baby, she's up for anything I wanna do
If it was on TV, or ever in a magazine
She could take a fantasy and make it a reality
She delivers every dirty thought
My baby, she's into everything I wanna do
[Bridge]
So, what you wanna do?
So, what you wanna do?
Let me repay the favor with your favorite thing you love to do
So, what you wanna do?
So, what you wanna do?
About to take it up a notch, so watch what I'm about to do
[Pre-Chorus]
You and me, sitting in a tree
F-U-C-K-I-N-G
[Chorus]
She'll do any naughty thing I want
My baby, she's up for anything I wanna do
She's a giver and it gets her off
My baby, she's up for anything I wanna do
If it was on TV, or ever in a magazine
She could take a fantasy and make it a reality
She delivers every dirty thought
My baby, she's into everything I wanna do
[Outro]
Everything you want, anything at all, everything you want
Everything I wanna do
Everything you want, anything at all, everything you want
Everything I wanna do
Don’t Ever Let It End Lyrics
[Chorus]
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
Don't ever, don't ever let it end
[Verse 1]
Well, I've got two tickets to the game
It'd be great if I could take you to it this Sunday
And I'll walk you home when the whole thing's done
If you're there, I don't even care which team won
We can stop at the coffee shop
And make fun of the cops in the parking lot
We can laugh as we both pretend
That we're not in love and that we're just good friends
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I'm tired of pretending
But I'm terrified of it ending
I know if not for you, there's nothing I could do to ever let it end
And you know I feel the same way
'Cause I told you drunk on my birthday
And as you pulled to me
You whispered in my ear, "Don't ever let it end"
[Chorus]
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
Don't ever, don't ever let it end
[Verse 2]
Saturday, I'm gonna take her out
Cause her favorite band is going to play downtown
Gonna sing the song we've all heard of
About those two young friends that should've fell in love
Later on, we'll cut through the park
And she can hold my hand, 'cause she hates the dark
And we can laugh as we both pretend
That we're not in love and that we're just good friends
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I'm tired of pretending
But I'm terrified of it ending
I know if not for you, there's nothing I could do to ever let it end
And you know I feel the same way
'Cause I told you drunk on my birthday
And as you pulled to me
You whispered in my ear, "Don't ever let it end"
[Chorus]
Don't let it end (Please promise me that this won't end)
Don't let it end
Don't ever, don't ever let it end
[Verse 3]
The greatest times we ever had
It's crazy now just looking back, we can laugh
You never know where life's gonna go
'Cause we're the only ones who'll ever know
About Sunday night, just her and I
Sitting side by side in the full moonlight
I pulled her close, just to hold her tight
And the both of us could tell it just felt right
She looked at me in the sweetest way
Like she could tell what the hell I was about to say
Must've took a while just to find the words
'Cause she cut me off and finally said it first
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I'm tired of pretending
But I'm terrified of it ending
I know if not for you, there's nothing I could do to ever let it end
And you know I feel the same way
'Cause I told you drunk on my birthday
And as you pulled to me
You whispered in my ear, "Don't ever let it end"
[Chorus]
Don't let it end (Please promise me that this won't end)
Don't let it end
Don't ever let it end
Don't let it end (Please promise me that this won't end)
Don't let it end
Don't ever let it end
[Outro]
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
Don't ever let it end
