A real love survives

A rock steady vibe

A real love survives

A rock steady vibe

Hey Baby Lyrics

[Intro Chorus: Gwen Stefani]

Hey baby, hey baby, hey!

Girls say, boys say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

Hey baby, baby...

[Verse 1: Gwen Stefani]

I'm the kinda girl that hangs with the guys

Like a fly on the wall with my secret eyes

Takin' it in, try to be feminine

With my makeup bag, watchin' all the sin

Misfit, I sit

Lit up, wicked

Everybody else surrounded by the girls

With the tank tops and the flirty words (Hey baby)

[Pre-Chorus 1: Gwen Stefani]

I'm just sippin' on chamomile

Watchin' boys and girls and their sex appeal

With a stranger in my face who says he knows my mom

And went to my high school

[Chorus 1: Gwen Stefani]

All the boys say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

Girls say, girls say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

Hey baby, baby... (Hey baby)

Hey baby, hey baby, hey!

Boys say, boys say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

All the boys get the girls in the back (Back, back, back, back)

[Verse 2: Gwen Stefani]

I'm the one they feed upon

Give a bit, a star is born

And if you're hot enough you'll get the pass

So you can tell your friends how you made it back

[Pre-Chorus 2: Gwen Stefani]

No matter what they say, I'm still the same

Somehow everybody knows my name

And all the girls wanna get with the boys

And the boys really like it

[Chorus 2: Gwen Stefani]

All the boys say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

Girls say, girls say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

Hey baby, baby... (Hey baby)

Hey baby, hey baby, hey!

Boys say, boys say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

All the boys get the girls in the back (Back)

[Verse 3: Bounty Killer]

Check it out, it’s Bounty Killer and No Doubt!

Jump on the stage makes me going crazy

Afterwards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies (That's right!)

There is no need to be acting shady

Come on, baby, hey, hey baby

Jump on the stage, makes me going crazy

Afterwards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies

There is no need to be acting shady

Come on, baby, hey, hey baby

When you rock your hips you know that, it amaze me

Got me off the hook and nothing else don't phase me

Can you be my one and only sunshine lady?

No 'if', no 'maybe?'

Hey baby!

[Pre-Chorus 3: Gwen Stefani & Bounty Killer]

I'm just sippin' on chamomile

Watchin' boys and girls and their sex appeal

With a stranger in my face who says he knows my mom

And went to my high school

That's right!

[Chorus 3: Gwen Stefani and Bounty Killer]

All the boys say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

Girls say, girls say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

Hey baby, baby... (Hey baby)

Hey baby, hey baby, hey!

Boys say, boys say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

Can you be my one and only sunshine lady?

Bay-

Hey baby, hey baby, hey!

Girls say (Hey baby), girls say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

When you rock your hips you know that

It (Hey baby) amaze me

Hey baby, hey baby, hey! (Hey baby)

Boys say (Hey baby), boys say:

"Hey baby, hey baby, hey!"

All the boys get the girls in the back

Underneath It All Lyrics

[Verse 1: Gwen Stefani]

There's times when I want something more

Someone more like me

There's times when this dress rehearsal

Seems incomplete

But you see the colors in me

Like no one else

And behind your dark glasses, you're

You're something else

[Chorus: Gwen Stefani]

And you're really lovely

Underneath it all

And you want to love me

Underneath it all

I'm really lucky

Underneath it all

You're really lovely

[Verse 2: Gwen Stefani]

You know some real bad tricks

And you need some discipline

But lately you've been trying real hard

And giving me your best

And you give me the most gorgeous sleep

That I've ever had

And when it's really bad

I guess it's not that bad

[Chorus: Gwen Stefani]

You're really lovely

Underneath it all

And you want to love me

Underneath it all

I'm really lucky

Underneath it all

And you're really lovely

[Bridge: Gwen Stefani]

And so many moons that we have seen

Stumbling back next to me

I've seen right through and underneath

And you make me better

I've seen right through and underneath

And you make me better, better, better

[Verse 4: Lady Saw]

For real

'Cause underneat' it all, you are my real Prince Charmin'

Like the heat from the fire, you were always burnin'

Anytime you're around, my body keeps callin'

For your touch, your kisses and your sweet romancin'

There's another side of you, weh this a woman yah adore

Aside from your temper, everything else secure

You're good for me, baby, for that, I'm sure

'Cause over and over again, me want more

[Verse 3: Gwen Stefani]

You've used up all your coupons

And all you got left is me

And somehow I'm full of forgiveness

I guess it's meant to be

[Chorus: Gwen Stefani]

And you're really lovely

Underneath it all

And you want to love me

Underneath it all

I'm really lucky

Underneath it all

And you're really lovely

You're really lovely

Underneath it all

And you want to love me

Underneath it all

And I'm really lucky

Underneath it all

And you're really lovely

[Outro: Gwen Stefani]

Mm, mm, mm

Underneath it all

Mm, mm, mm

Underneath it all

Mm, mm, mm

Underneath it all

Mm, mm, mm

Underneath it all

Detective Lyrics

[Chorus]

Peek in, sneak about

Your broken hearted detective

[Verse 1]

Hey girl, save the liar

Can’t you see his pants on fire?

Hey girl, save the liar

Can’t you see his pants on fire?

[Verse 2]

My back it hurts again

It aches like history

Cottonmouth and all lit up

You’re smiling back at me

But I feel you must have failed me

Once again, you’ve let me down

My confidence below my knees now

I need to find you out

[Chorus]

Peek in, sneak about

I’m gonna snoop and call you out

I caught you, your hands are red

Now I’m your broken hearted detective

(Hey, hey, hey)

[Verse 2]

Hey lover, why the gun?

Hold on, I’m almost there

It’s too late, you killed the trust

Don’t act so unaware

So why are you so destructive?

Do you realize what you've done?

You can’t bring it back to life now

What are you running from?

[Chorus]

Peek in, sneak about

I’m gonna snoop and call you out

I caught you, your hands are red

Now I’m your broken hearted detective

[Bridge]

I don’t like the way I feel

I just want you to be real

[Verse 1]

Hey girl, save the liar

Can’t you see his pants on fire?

Hey girl, save the liar

Can’t you see his pants on fire?

I’m rummaging through your closet

Imagining all the worst thoughts

[Chorus]

Peek in, sneak about

I’m gonna snoop and call you out

I caught you, your hands are red

Now I’m your broken hearted detective

Peek in, sneak about

I’m gonna snoop and call you out

I caught you, your hands are red

Now I’m your broken hearted detective

Peek in

Peek in, sneak about

I’m gonna snoop and call you out

I caught you, your hands are red

Now I’m your broken hearted detective

Don't Let Me Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Laughing so hard, I’ve got tears in my eyes

Walk in the park under sapphire skies

Oh, I can’t believe that you’re still around

I almost forgot how you let me down

Crying so deep that I, I think I might die

Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind

So hard to let go, but I’m coming ‘round

The scars are still fragile, don’t let me down

[Chorus]

So don’t blow it

No, not a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine, don’t you forget it

Don’t blow it

Even a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine, don’t you forget it

Don’t let me down

[Verse 2]

Time after time it’s just too much to take

I’ve waited so long just to get to this place

And finally it feels like the lost was found

You’ve got me filled up now, don’t let me down

Don’t let me down

[Chorus]

So don’t blow it

No, not a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine, don’t you forget it

Don’t blow it

Even a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine, don’t you forget it

So don’t blow it

No, not a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine

Don’t you forget it

Don’t blow it

Even a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine

Don’t you forget it

Don’t let me down

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]

So don’t blow it

No, not a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine, don’t you forget it

Don’t blow it

Even a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine, don’t you forget it

So don’t blow it

No, not a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine, don’t you forget it

Don’t blow it

Even a little bit

'Cause now you’re all mine don’t you forget it

[Outro]

Don’t let me down (don't let me down)

Start the Fire Lyrics

[Intro]

Go on and baby get the lighter

We’re gonna start the fire

[Verse 1]

The army of words in me

Silent the soldier weeps

Lying here back to back

Waiting for you to react

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And sometimes all I need is a good push

Roll over and whisper some goodness

Go on baby, you be the hero

Now can we go back to zero?

[Chorus]

Go on and get the lighter, we’re gonna need some fire

Let’s get a little higher, the battlefield is tired

Nevermind all that

Go on and baby get the lighter, we’re gonna start the fire

[Verse 2]

Just come here and cuddle up

I feel a little rough

I missed you in my sleep

Are you still mad at me?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

The moon must have mended my bad mood

Come kiss me the way you meant to

Last night I was just playing

Let's put it all away and…

[Chorus]

Go on and get the lighter, we’re gonna need some fire

Let’s get a little higher, the battlefield is tired

Nevermind all that

Go on and baby get the lighter, we’re gonna start the fire

[Post-Chorus]

Go on and baby get the lighter, we’re gonna start the fire

Start the fire

[Bridge]

Climb in and love me

[Verse 3]

Had quite a heavy night

So delicate our love and pride

The most stubborn girl around

You really know how to bring me down

[Pre-Chorus 3]

One more famous night to remember

Let’s laugh at my silly temper

Now let’s burn the morning sweetly

Get over here now and complete me

[Chorus]

Go on and get the lighter, we’re gonna need some fire

Let’s get a little higher, the battlefield is tired

Nevermind all that

Go on and baby get the lighter, we’re gonna start the fire

[Outro]

Go on and baby get the lighter, we’re gonna start the fire

Running Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Run, running all the time

Running to the future

With you right by my side

Me, I’m the one you chose

Out of all the people

You wanted me the most

And I’m so sorry that I’ve fallen

Help me up, let’s keep on running

Don’t let me fall out of love

[Chorus]

Running, running, as fast as we can

Do you think we’ll make it?

We’re running, keep holding my hand

So we don’t get separated

[Verse 2]

Be, be the one I need

Be the one I trust most

Don’t stop inspiring me

Sometimes it’s hard to keep on running

We work so much to keep it going

Don’t make me want to give up

[Chorus]

Running, running, as fast as we can

Do you think we’ll make it?

We’re running, keep holding my hand

So we don’t get separated

[Post-Chorus]

Running as fast as we can

I really hope we make it

We’re running as fast as we can

I really hope we make it

We’re running, keep holding my hand

So we don’t get separated

The future…

[Chorus]

Running, running, as fast as we can

Do you think we’ll make it?

We’re running, keep holding my hand

So we don’t get separated

[Post-Chorus]

Running as fast as we can

I really hope we make it

We’re running, running, keep holding my hand

So we don’t get separated

In My Head Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I try to think about rainbows

When it gets bad

You got to think about something

To keep from going mad

I try to think about big fat roses

When the ship starts going down

But my head is wicked jealous

Don’t want to talk about it right now

[Pre-Chorus]

Long distance, don’t talk about

Ex-girlfriends, don’t talk about

You without me, don’t talk about

The past

[Chorus]

In my head, it’s only in my head

(Only in my head)

In my head, it’s only in my head

(Only in my head)

[Verse 2]

There’s just something about you

That gets me in a twist

And sometimes I think that Cupid

Is just taking the piss

It only takes one word or idea

To send me in real deep

So if you think you’re clever

Use the right words when you talk to me

[Pre-Chorus]

Long distance, don’t talk about

Ex-girlfriends, don’t talk about

You without me, don’t talk about

The past

[Chorus]

In my head, it’s only in my head

(Only in my head)

In my head, it’s only in my head

(Only in my head)

[Bridge]

I really think I have a problem

I really can’t control myself

Why do I get so suspicious?

Do you want someone else?

'Cause everybody wants everybody else

Everybody wants everybody else

[Interlude]

Only in my head

It's only in my head

[Chorus]

In my head, it’s only in my head

(Only in my head)

In my head, it’s only in my head

(Only in my head)

[Outro]

Long distance, don’t talk about

Ex-girlfriends, don’t talk about

You without me, don’t talk about

The past, let's talk about

The future, let's talk about

Our wedding, let's talk about

Gwen Stefani, let's talk about

How much you like me, and all that

Platinum Blonde Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm closing out the curtains

So don't you even bother

And they're calling out murder

But I'm underneath the covers

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And who's fooling who with this mood like a train

Watch me roll over, get out of my way

[Chorus]

And there's a knock on my door, but I'm not gonna open it

I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away

[Verse 2]

I want a platinum-blonde life

So I keep bleaching out the color (bleaching out the color)

I try to do what I oughta

But never drink enough water

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And where did my lamb go? I wish she could stay

I feel as empty as a widow, I'm gonna sleep it all away

[Chorus]

And there's a knock on my door, but I'm not gonna open it

I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away

[Bridge]

I'm going to sleep all through the day

I'm going to sleep my life away

I'm going to sleep all through the day

I'm going to sleep myself away

I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away

(Away, away, away)

Shhh

[Chorus]

And there's a knock on my door, but I'm not gonna open it

I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away

And there's a knock on my door, but I'm not gonna open it

I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away

[Outro]

I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away

Waiting Room Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I signed in my name

I guess I'll have to wait a while

I wanna play this game

Call me up if you know how to dial

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You always had my number

You need to be my lover

Humiliation, I'm in the waiting room

[Refrain]

If we both want the love and I wait long enough

Then the ground that we're on might be common

[Chorus]

All I can do is wait for you

[Post-Chorus]

I'm all alone in the waiting room

[Verse 2]

When you’re burning solitude

It can get real thick

If desire is your only food

It can get you sick

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You know you're so fine (so fine)

I'm over here standing in this line

(Just a-wait) Just a-waiting in the waiting room

[Refrain]

If we both want the love and I wait long enough

Then the ground that we’re on might be common

[Chorus]

All I can do is wait for you

All I can do (All I can do) is wait for you, hey

[Post-Chorus]

I'm all alone in the waiting room

I'm all alone, I'm all alone in the waiting room

[Bridge]

While I'm in the waiting room

A thousand thoughts I think of you

Whatever you did has got me glued

It's icky, it's sticky ooh

You're the one I’m dreaming of

Why does this feel like wasted time

(What a price) What a price this traveling love (Travelin' love)

You and me trapped between these lines

Ooh, you're so mine

[Refrain]

If we both want the love and I wait long enough

Then the ground that we’re on might be common

[Chorus]

All I can do is wait for you (I'm just waiting for you)

All I can do is wait for you (You know I want you)

All I can do is wait for you

All I can do is wait for you (You know you need to be my love)

All I can do is wait for you

[Post-Chorus]

I'm all alone in the waiting room

I'm all alone, I'm all alone in the waiting room

I'm all alone in the waiting room

I'm all alone, I'm all alone in the waiting room

I'm all alone in the waiting room

I'm all alone, I'm all alone in the waiting room

[Outro]

Will you call me when it's my turn?

Rock Steady Lyrics

[Intro]

Our love is rock steady

Rock steady

Rock steady, rock steady

Our love is rock steady

Rock steay

[Verse 1]

Love is like a punishment

Homegirl here to represent

So innocently you seem to come my way

While Tinkerbell and Cupid play

They sit there and they laugh

I sit here and I can’t believe my eyes

You found me at last

But we’re too human to see the way we’ll agonize

[Chorus]

A real love survives

A rock steady vibe

A real love survives

A rock steady vibe

[Post-Chorus]

Rock steady

Our love is so rock steady

Rock steady

[Verse 2]

Steady now stop rocking it

It’s a delicate environment

Retired but sleeping is our shanty love

Be careful now, don’t wake it up

[Pre-Chorus]

It’s never gonna last

It’s never gonna make it back alive

So now can we relax?

I really hope that we will actually survive

[Chorus]

A real love survives

A rock steady vibe

A real love survives

A rock steady vibe

[Pre-Chorus]

It’s never gonna last

It’s never gonna make it back alive

So now can we relax?

I really hope that we will actually survive

[Chorus]

A real love survives

A rock steady vibe

A real love survives

A rock steady vibe

[Outro]

Rock steady

Our love is so rock steady

Rock steady
