CHANGE A brit Sugababes lányegyüttes ötödik stúdióalbuma, amelyet 2007. október 1-jén adtak ki az Island Recordsnál. Ez volt az első albumuk, amelyen Amelle Berrabah teljes énekhangja volt, aki Mutya Buena alapítótag 2005-ös távozását követően csatlakozott a csoporthoz.
Zeneileg a Change túlnyomórészt egy pop rock és dance-pop album, amelyet a korábbi munkatársak, Xenomania, Dallas Austin és Jony Rockstar, valamint az újabb producerek, Dr. Luke, a dán produkciós csapat, a Deekay és a Novel készítettek. Az albumot az első kislemez, az "About You Now" előzte meg, amely nagy kereskedelmi sikert aratott, és a Sugababes hatodik első kislemeze lett a brit kislemezlistán, és a legtöbbet eladott kislemeze az országban. Az albumról később két másik dalt is kiadtak kislemezként, a címadó dalként és a "Denial"-ként, mindkettő bejutott a legjobb húsz közé az Egyesült Királyságban; ez utóbbi kereskedelmileg is sikeres volt a szárazföldön Európában. Egy másik szám, a "My Love is Pink" volt az egyetlen promóciós kislemez az albumról. Kereskedelmileg a Change a brit albumlista élén debütált, ahol a banda második számú albuma lett, és végül a BPI platina minősítést kapott, mivel 300 000 darabot adtak el az országban. Máshol Észtországban és Írországban a legjobb tíz közé jutott. Franciaországban az albumot a csoport első legnagyobb slágereiből álló válogatásként adaptálták.
A Change vegyes-pozitív kritikákat kapott, számos kritikus tapsolt az albumról lekapott számokért, és dicsérte a produkciót, míg mások "vegyes zsáknak" nevezték. Az album népszerűsítésére Sugababes' az albumról szóló számokat adott elő talkshow-kon, és 2008-ban elindult a Change Tour-on.

HÁTTÉR ÉS KIADÁS

2006 júniusában a Sugababes az akkor még cím nélküli ötödik stúdióalbumon kezdett dolgozni, amelynek megjelenését 2007-ben erősítették meg. A csoport tagja, Heidi Range azonban azt is elárulta, hogy 2006 karácsonyára a legnagyobb sikerek albuma fog megjelenni, amely a csoport összes slágerét tartalmazza majd. Az Overloaded: The Singles Collection megjelenése után a Sugababes folytatta a munkát számos amerikai producerrel ötödik stúdióalbumukon, amely az együttes első teljes stúdióalbuma az akkor új tag Amelle Berrabah-val. Bár ez volt Amelle első produkciója, néhány dal az albumról állítólag megmaradt számok voltak, amelyeket eredetileg a Taller in More Ways (2005) című műsorában akartak megjelenni.
Az album producere Higgins és a Xenomania produkciós csapata, akik más Sugababes kislemezeken végzett munkáiról ismertek, mint a "Round Round", "Angels with Dirty Faces", "Hole in the Head", "In the Middle" és "Red Dress". A keverési folyamatot Jeremy Wheatley végezte 365 művész számára a londoni Twenty One Studios-nál. Ebben Richard Edgeler segített. A billentyűs hangszerekről és a programozásról Powell, Higgins, Cowling és Matt Gray gondoskodott, míg a gitárért Coler volt a felelős.
Az AXM Magazine beszámolt a Sugababes feltételezett kísérletéről, hogy az albummal az amerikai piacra lépjen. 2007. augusztus 30-án a csoport megjelent a The Album Chart Show-n, hogy előadják az első kislemezt, az "About You Now"-t, és premierjeibe kerüljön egy újabb két albumvágás. Azt is megerősítették, hogy az album címe Change lesz.
A számítógépbe helyezve a brit kiadású lemez hozzáférést biztosít a bónusz funkciókhoz, például az "About You Now" remix verzióihoz és egy különleges interjúhoz a csoporttal, valamint háttérképekhez és fényképekhez. A Change francia kiadása a legnagyobb slágerek válogatása, mert az Overloaded: The Singles Collection nem ott jelent meg, és az "Overload"-tól a "Denial"-ig minden slágerüket tartalmazza.
A "Never Gonna Dance Again"-t a Sugababes tagjai, Keisha Buchanan és Heidi Range írták Miranda Cooperrel, Brian Higginsszel, Tim Powell-lel, Lisa Cowlinggal és Nick Colerrel együttműködve. A dalt eredetileg Mutya Buena korábbi tagjával írták és vették fel a csoport előző Taller in More Ways albumához, de kikerült a végleges számlistáról, mivel a lányok nem szerették a dalt. Az ötödik album gyártása során visszatértek a dalhoz, és egyre jobban megszerették, ami arra késztette a csoportot, hogy felvessék a Change számlistájára.
Az "About You Now" című dalt a Wild Child című filmben használták, és harmadik számként szerepel a filmzenén. 2007 decemberében a "3 Spoons of Suga" felkerült a 2007-es St Trinian's film filmzenéjére.

KRITIKA

Az album vegyes kritikákat kapott, a The Guardian „vegyes zsáknak” nevezte, de tapsolt olyan számokat, mint a „Never Gonna Dance Again” és a „Back Down”. A The Times azt állította, hogy az album "csak valamivel jobb, mint az All Saints outtakes, minden keltezett produkció és popízlés", de olyan számokat dicsért, mint a "My Love Is Pink" és a "3 Spoons of Suga".

KISLEMEZEK

ABOUT YOU NOW A brit Sugababes lánycsapat dala ötödik stúdióalbumukról, a Change (2007). Írta és producere Dr. Luke, valamint Cathy Dennis és Steven Wolf, 2007. szeptember 24-én jelent meg az Island Recordsnál az album vezető kislemezeként, elsőként Amelle Berrabah-val minden számban. Egy lendületes pop szám, amely a pop rock és a dance-pop nehéz elemeit ötvözi, könnyed elektronikus hangzásokat áraszt. Lírailag az "About You Now" című filmben a főhősnő mélyen elgondolkodik a kapcsolatán a szerelmével, akitől elvált.
A zenekritikusok általában jól fogadták a dalt, és dicsérték műfajkeverési produkcióját, valamint amerikai pop hatását. A dalt "pop-elektro-rock remekműként" és az elmúlt évek legjobb Sugababes kislemezeként írták le. Megjelenése után az "About You Now" a csoport hatodik első számú slágere lett az Egyesült Királyságban, és a 2005-ös "Push the Button" óta a legmagasabb slágerlistára került. Négy hétig maradt az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistájának élén. Magyarországon is feljutott a toplisták élére, valamint Ausztriában, Belgiumban, Németországban, Írországban, Norvégiában és Spanyolországban a legjobb tíz közé. Ez a Sugababes eddigi legtöbbet eladott kislemeze, csak az Egyesült Királyságban több mint 1 millió darabot adtak el.
Az "About You Now"-t 2008-ban jelölték a BRIT-díjra a legjobb brit kislemez kategóriában. A Guinness World Records 2009-es kiadásában az "About You Now" az "egy brit popzene első dalaként" szerepelt, amely kizárólag a letöltések tekintetében a kislemezlista élére került. A dalt a "legnagyobb slágerlistán az első helyre vivőnek is nevezték az Egyesült Királyságban". 2009 decemberében a BBC felfedte, hogy az "About You Now" volt az Egyesült Királyság ötödik legtöbbet játszott dala az évtizedben (2000–2009).

CHANGE Az angol Sugababes lánycsapat dala az ötödik stúdióalbumukról, a Change (2007). Írta a Sugababes, Niara Scarlett és producerei, a dán Deekay produkciós duó. A dal az album második nemzetközi és összességében harmadik kislemezeként jelent meg 2007. december 10-én, egy hozzá tartozó B-oldallal "I Can't Take It No More" címmel. A "Change" egy középtempójú pop rock ballada, amely himnikus harmóniákból, gitárokból, billentyűkből és elsöprő effektekből áll.
A dal vegyes értékelést kapott a kritikusoktól, akik megosztottak a dal kompozícióját és balladiáját illetően. A kislemez az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistájának karácsonyi első számú esélyesének számított, de csak a 13. helyezést érte el. A kislemez Németországban, Írországban, Hollandiában és Romániában a top negyven közé jutott. Fatima Robinson rendezte a dal videoklipjét, amely a Sugababes-t az év négy évszakaként ábrázolja.

MY LOVE IS PINK Az angol Sugababes lánycsapat dala az ötödik stúdióalbumukról, a Change (2007). A dalt az együttes tagjai, Keisha Buchanan és Heidi Range írták a dalt produkáló Xenomania dalszerző és produkciós csapattal együttműködve. A "My Love Is Pink" egy lendületes dance-pop és elektropop dal, amely a Girls Aloud brit lányegyüttes által előadott dalokra emlékeztet. A dal 2007. december 10-én jelent meg az Egyesült Királyságban és Írországban a Change második kislemezeként. A kritikusoktól vegyes kritikákat kapott, akik dicsérték a kompozíciót és a hangzást, de kritizálták a szövegi tartalmát. A dal az ötödik helyet érte el a brit Commercial Pop Club listán és az 51. helyet a szlovák kislemezlistán.

DENIAL Az angol Sugababes lánycsapat dala az ötödik stúdióalbumukról, a Change (2007). A csoport 2008-as Change Tour kezdetével egy időben, 2008. március 10-én jelent meg az album harmadik és egyben utolsó kislemezeként. V. V. Brown megírta a „Denial”-t a bandának, miközben a londoni metró Victoria vonalán volt, és közben megpróbált „belejutni a gondolkodásmódjukba”. A Sugababes és a dal producerei, Flex Turner és Elliot Malloy közösen írták. A staccato versekből, harmonikus kórusból és szóló középső nyolcasból összeállított "Denial" egy pop rock és disco dal, amely a Gossip "Standing in the Way of Control" című dalát mintázza.
A dalt vegyes kritikusok fogadták, akik ambivalensek voltak a kompozícióval kapcsolatban, de kereskedelmi sikert aratott Európa-szerte, ahol a cseh kislemezlistán az első, az osztrák kislemezlistán a negyedik, Németországban, Magyarországon, Írországban és Svájcban pedig a top húsz közé került. Az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistáján a 15. helyet érte el. Harvey B-Brown rendezte a dal videoklipjét, amelyet a Vogue inspirált, és divatos szerkesztői jellemzőket tartalmaz.

DALSZÖVEGEK

SUGABABES KEISHA HEIDI AMELLE

ABOUT YOU NOW

It was so easy that night
Should have been strong; yeah, I lied, nobody gets me like you
Couldn't keep hold of you then
How could I know what you meant, there was nothing to compare to
I know everything changes
All the cities and faces, but I know how I feel about you
There's a mountain between us
But there's one thing I'm sure of, that I know how I feel about you

Can we bring yesterday back around?
'Cause I know how I feel about you now
I was dumb, I was wrong, I let you down
But I know how I feel about you now

All that it takes one more chance
Don't let our last kiss be our last, give me tonight and I'll show you
I know everything changes
I don't care where it takes us, cause I know how I feel about you

Can we bring yesterday back around?
'Cause I know how I feel about you now (About you now)
I was dumb, I was wrong, I let you down
But I know how I feel about you now

Not a day pass me by
Not a day pass me by, when I don't think about you
And there's no moving on
'Cause I know you're the one, and I can't be without you

Can we bring yesterday back around? (Yesterday back around?)
'Cause I know how I feel about you now ('Cause I know how I feel about you now)
I was dumb, I was wrong, I let you down (I let you down)
But I know how I feel about you now (About you now)

Can we bring yesterday back around? (Can we bring yesterday back around?)
'Cause I know how I feel about you now
I was dumb, I was wrong, I let you down (And I was wrong, I let you down)
But I know how I feel about you now
But I know how I feel about you now (How I feel)
Yeah, I know how I feel about you now

NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN

Circles on the floor, I'm getting down, low
But things ain't right, you're gone, I'm losing ground, no
Do you remember when your head was mine?
It's all I ever think when it comes to you and I
No I can't figure out how we couldn't seal the deal
The rhythm kept us going, the only thing I feel

And so I'm never gonna dance again
I lost my rhythm when you said it's over
And as the final record starts to play
I feel the dance floor turning colder
And so I'm never gonna dance again
'Cause all the music in my world has faded
I know it's never gonna be the same
I guess our moves just never made it

From the start, a work of art
A perfect picture painting that I store in my heart
We burnt so bright, you know we couldn't get it right
Our bodies intertwined now I can't get you off my mind
As we dance, you know, or feelings show, you oughta know you got me
As we dance, and flowed, my heart's exposed, now I'm alone you left me

And so I'm never gonna dance again
I lost the rhythm when you said it's over
And as the final record starts to play
I feel the dance floor turning colder
And so I'm never gonna dance again
Cause all the music in my world has faded
I know it's never gonna be the same
I guess our moves just never made it

Oh, yeah, oh
I'm getting down but the rhythm's all wrong
The record goes around, and they're playing our song
I get into the groove but it's giving me pain
There's nothing you can do for me, Mr. DJ

It's over, it's over (And so I'm never gonna dance again)
It's over, it's over (And so I'm never gonna dance again)
It's over, it's over (And so I'm never gonna dance again)
It's over, it's over (And so I'm never gonna dance again)

DENIAL

(Somewhere in the back of my mind
Secretly I know you will find
Me amongst the blusher and glow
Deep beyond the things I don't show
Mystery's a beautiful thing
What a gift a woman can bring
Never let it out just like that
Let him slowly figure it out (Harmony))
(How can a flower bloom in
Just over a day and a night, you gotta let the water drain in (Harmony))

I didn't wanna fall in love with you
I didn't wanna know the things I knew
It wasn't 'til I looked into the mirror, denial

(You were like a power of nature
Telepathic beautiful creature
Understanding all of my weakness
Patient, loving, knowing you'd reach it
Cynical and hurt was just me
You were never supposed to be
Part of what I would call amazing
Took so long to finally see (Harmony))
(How can a flower bloom in
Just over a day and a night, you gotta let the water drain in (Harmony))

I didn't wanna fall in love with you
I didn't wanna know the things I knew
It wasn't 'til I looked into the mirror, denial

I see the way the wind blows, like open minds for us
No complicated barriers, to hold us back

I didn't wanna fall in love with you
I didn't wanna know the things I knew
It wasn't 'til I looked into the mirror, denial

MY LOVE IS PINK

Love, love, everybody, everybody, love, love, everybody, is pink
Love, love, everybody, everybody, love, love, everybody, is pink

Thinking about the way that I can say
Maybe there's more to me than you see, baby
Seventy different ways to misbehave
Betting that by tonight we'll make it eighty
Dance on the spot, giving it all we got
Fire in my eyes, baby I can't disguise
That deal that we did is getting me in the mood
If I could make a man, he'd look a lot like you

My love is pink
Everybody knows-a what you think
My love is white
Butter wouldn't melt in mine tonight
My love is red
Hotter than the dirty things you said
My love is like
The colors of a girl, so boy hold tigh

Talking about what's never gone before
Letting you work your way around my body
Whatever you got, I'm guessing I got more
Even with no regrets, you won't be sorry
Dance on the spot, giving it all we got
Fire in my eyes, baby I can't disguise
That deal that we did is getting me in the mood
If I could make a man, he'd look a lot like you

And I'll be true, true to my word, oh, baby, I will be true
If you give me your word, then maybe I'll show you the moves
Love, love, everybody, everybody, love, love, everybody, is pink
Love, love, everybody, everybody, love, love, everybody, is pink

CHANGE

If I could hold you close, like you were never gone
If I could hear your voice, you'd tell me to be strong
But sometimes, I just can't, I just don't understand
Why you had to go (Why you had to go) I guess I'll never know

Ain't it funny how you think, you're gonna be okay
'Til you remember things ain't ever, gonna be the same again (same again)
And ain't it crazy how you think, you've got your whole life planned
Just to find out it was never ever, in your hands (in your hands) change

If I could get to you, I'd be there in a minute
My world don't make no sense, not without you in it
And sometimes, I just cry, can't say I, don't know why
But why'd you have to go? (Why'd you have to go?)
And leave me here alone, and leave me here alone

You don't see it coming (Change)
When the future comes knocking, it changed (Change)
It can make you and break you too
You just have to make it through, you just have to make it through

BACK WHEN

Do da do da do, do da do da do
Do da do da do, do da do da do

You're telling me, that I don't look the same as I used to
Could it be, that time's the only blame for our issues?
I wanna know, can't go no longer being neglected
Knowing that your heart has changed
Reminiscing on the times
Looking at the photos, oh, we were so happy then
Taking walks out in the park
Enjoying the sun, and I was your only one
And we were like the closest friends

Back when, we used to talk about anything
Now it seems you're not listening
Winter nights are colder than usual
And summertime is just not the same
What happened to the love back when?
Do da do da do, do da do da do
Do da do da do, do da do da do

You promised me, we'd plant the seeds of love and let it grow
And now it seems that you don't even water it no more
'Cause it seems, the leaves all hit the ground and faded
Now that tree don't look the same
Reminiscing on the times
Looking at the photos, oh, we were so happy then
Taking walks out in the park
Enjoying the sun, and I was your only one
And we were like the closest friends

We used to talk about anything (Do da do da do)
Now it seems you're not listening (Do da do da do)
Winter nights are colder than usual (Do da do da do)
And summertime, is just not the same
What happened to the love back when?

You told me that you love me
And now it seems to me, we're two strangers that's falling apart, and I know
Nothing in life is guaranteed
So if you wanna move along, then move along

Back when, we used to talk about anything
Now it seems you're not listening
Winter nights are colder than usual
And summertime, is just not the same
What happened to the love back when?

We used to talk about anything
Now it seems you're not listening
Winter nights are colder than usual
And summertime, is just not the same
What happened to the love back when?

SUPRISE

Last summer we met, I'll never forget, hanging out every day
Guess that era has gone, you got what you want, hope she works out okay
I bet you think I'm torn, that you're the one I miss
I'm over now you're gone, but that's not the way it is

Surprise, while you call me up late at night
Expecting me to want to die
I'm busy here with some other guy
It's good since you told me goodbye
Oh ho ho ho, Oh ho ho ho, Oh ho ho ho
It's good since you told me goodbye
Oh ho ho ho, Oh ho ho ho, Oh ho ho ho
It's good since you told me

Don't go wasting your time, expecting me crying, lost like I can't go on
Yeah, my pride's still intact, no danger of that, it must hurt to know you're wrong
You think I'm on my own, just waiting for the chance
I'm getting what I want, but it's not the way you planned

Lately you've been saying it's a tragedy
Maybe yeah for you, but baby not for me
Now I've got someone who's taking care of me
It's you that's crying tears, and I like the way it feels

BACK DOWN

I like my man rough, I like my man tough
But he's gotta be smooth, when he's giving my love (Mhm)
I like my man clean, like the cut of his jeans
It's like the Lord made, a tailored man for me (A tailored man for me)
He's gotta smell good, treat me like a man should
Keeps his hair trimmed low, he's a friend of my soul
He keeps me secure, makes me feel safe
And if you ever dare touch me (And if you ever dare touch me)
He'd have to put you in your place (He'd have to put you in your place)

My baby don't back down (back down)
My baby don't back down (back down)
Because he's all right, because he's all right
My baby don't back down (back down)
My baby don't back down (back down)
Because he's all right, because he's all right

I like my man sexy, I like my man made
He knows what I want, he's the Ying to my Yang
I like my man patient, and his body real tight (Real tight)
And never keeps me waiting, that's just what I like (That's just what I like)
See these boys are no good, cause I need a real man
Someone who can keep me, in the palm of his hand
He's gotta treat me right, never do me wrong
Better know how to please me, and turn me on

I know he'll never back down (back down)
My baby never back down (back down)
Because he's all right, because he's all right
No, my baby don't back down (back down)
My baby don't back down (back down)
Because he's all right, because he's all right

I like my man cool, much cooler than ice
And if I didn't meet him, I wouldn't have to blink twice (to blink twice)
He gives me kisses by the hour, and when he brings me flowers
It never felt so sweet, when he's around me
(He's gotta lot, he's gotta lot, he's gotta lot of love)
He makes me smile, knows how to make me laugh (Knows how to make me laugh)
He never moves too slow, but doesn't move too fast
He's the love of my life, he's all that I need
And when he's with his friends, he's proud about me

'Cause my baby never back down (back down)
No, my baby don't back down (back down)
Because he's all right, because he's all right
No, my baby don't back down (back down)
My baby don't back down (back down)
Because he's all right, because he's all right (Oh, yeah)

Break it down, break it down, break it down now
Break it down, break it down, break it down now
Break it down, break it down, break it down now
Break it down, break it down, break it down now
Break it down, break it down, break it down now
Break it down, break it down, break it down now
Break it down, break it down, break it down now
Break it down, break it down, break it down now

MENDED BY YOU

I tried to make it work, I learned the hardest way
I lost him in the end, and it was over
I turned my back on love, I switched off at the mains
I cried night and day, cause it was over
You came up, I swear that it was just like something from a movie scene
When we met, we connected, I never expected you'd be everything to me

You are, everything I wanna say, nothing that I wanna lose
Feel like I will never break, I've been mended by you
You're the reason that I wanna stay
The places that I wanna go, cCause I know, I've been mended by you

He never held me close, you never let me go
Just when I lost the fight, you were my soldier
And now we're standing here, in such a different place
August 23rd, do you remember, oh woah
You came up, I swear that it was just like something from a movie scene
When we met, we connected, I never expected you'd be everything to me

3 SPOONS OF SUGA

She likes to dress, like she's fresh out of the magazine
She struts around, getting down to her record machine
It's clear that she enjoys, teasing all the boys
They always say, that you'll remember her name
Because she's got it, she's got it right down (And all the guys say)

I need three spoons of sugar
And a glass full of liquor to get over you
Gimme something in my coffee
Gimme thrills, take my money, can't get over you

He don't get stressed, cause he's blessed with the cut of his jeans
He's looking tight washed super fine, if you know what I mean, oh
And he clearly gets his kicks, getting messy with the chicks
They always say, that you'll remember his name
Because he's got it, ge's got it so, so down (And all the girls say)

I need three spoons of sugar
And a glass full of liquor to get over you
Gimme something in my coffee
Gimme thrills, take my money, can't get over you
I'm gonna need a whole lot of therapy
To cure this sugar rush, I can't get over you
Gimme something in my coffee
Gimme thrills, take my money, can't get over you

Are you coming with me, or are you just gonna stay the same?
Cause I tell you boy, either way, you're gonna remember my name (And all the girls say)

OPEN THE DOOR

(Oh-oh)
Baby, show me, I want you to hold me (oh-oh)
Never felt this empty before, I can't take it no more (oh-oh)
Cause I noticed, we ain't got that closeness (oh-oh)
Like the way we had it before, baby, open the door (oh-oh)

Baby we ain't got the time (the time)
Tell me what's on your mind (your mind)
Even when you're here I'm feeling so alone
You used to work me so hard (so hard)
Now we're in rooms apart (apart)
Tell me you can really see what's going on
I can't wait, tell me before it gets too late
Tell me that my heart won't break, I don't wanna let it go

Baby, show me, I want you to hold me (oh-oh)
Never felt this empty before, I can't take it no more (oh-oh)
Cause I noticed, we ain't got that closeness (oh-oh)
Like the way we had it before, baby, open the door (oh-oh)

Lately all the thrill is gone (is gone)
Everything I do is wrong (is wrong)
You keep pouring water on these flames inside
Can't we make our life brand new? (brand new)
Baby, just me and you (and you)
'Cause I can't go on like this another night
I can't wait, tell me before it gets too late
Tell me that my heart won't break, I don't wanna let it go

I could say I hate you now
But you'd see through me easily
I can't take the ups and downs
Take my hand, say you'll turn it around

UNDIGNIFIED

Swollen eyes, know better to let you see them now
My wasted heart, will never learn to drive the demon down
When you love the devil, you sell your soul, and it's hard to make him go
Undignified, I am tonight

So give me false hope and promise me
You'll try to redeem yourself for the hundredth time
Lie to me if you must, my dear
Give me a reason to have you here
Even false hope allows me to still believe in
This powerful love that's consuming me
I'm hooked on a drug that steals your pride
It's hard not to seem so undignified

It terrifies me, to think I'm not the only one
You'd be surprised, how much I cry when you are gone
When your angel's the devil, your church is a tomb, but I need to be with you
I'm undignified enough for two

So give me false hope and promise me
You'll try to redeem yourself for the hundredth time
Lie to me if you must, my dear
Give me a reason to have you here (So give me!)
Even false hope allows me to still believe in
This powerful love that's consuming me
I'm hooked on a drug that steals your pride
It's hard not to seem so undignified

I'm addicted to the pain and pleasure you give
It's not how I wanna live, controlled by him

So give me false hope and promise me (So give me!)
You'll try to redeem yourself for the hundredth time
Lie to me if you must, my dear
Give me a reason to have you here (To have you here)
Even falls hope allows me to still believe in
This powerful love that's consuming me
I'm hooked on a drug that steals your pride
It's hard not to seem (Steals your pride)
So undignified (So..)

ROCKS

Dealers keep dealing, thieves keep thieving
Whores keep whoring, junkies keep scoring
Trade is on the meat rack, strip joints full of hunchbacks
Bitches keep bitching, clap just keeps itching
Ain't no use in praying, that's the way it's staying, baby
Johnny ain't so crazy, he's always got a line for the ladies, yeah, yeah, yeah

Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Shake it now, now, get 'em off downtown
Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Shake it now, now, get 'em off downtown

Creeps keep crawling, drunks keep falling
Teasers keep teasing, holy Joes are preaching
Cops just keep busting, hustlers keep hustling
Death just keeps knocking, souls are up for auction
Ain't no use in praying, that's the way it's staying, baby
Johnny ain't so crazy, he's always got a line for the ladies, yeah, yeah, yeah

Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Shake it now, now, get 'em off downtown
Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Shake it now, now, get 'em off downtown, get down

Ain't no use in praying, that's the way it's staying, baby
Johnny ain't so crazy, he's always got a line for the ladies, oh yeah

Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Shake it now, now, get 'em off downtown
Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Shake it now, now, get 'em off downtown

Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey
Get your rocks off, get your rocks off, honey

IN RECLINE

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Call me honey, suga, babe, or what you want
I'm not asking no questions, who you're coming from
Yeah, you're safe with me here
You speak, I become, all tongue-twisted and undone
Don't get too attached to me baby
Not right now, dial me up when you're bored of throwing her around
Yeah, you're safe with me here
You speak, I become, automatically undone

I'll give you something to think about
When you get home, a little something to trip about
Come on baby it's that time
Get my body in a recline
Watch me let it go, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh, uh-oh

(Let's figure out how to get this started
Once we get hooked up, well you can party
I'm on a mission, so don't play shy
Hold my attention, not like other guys
Looking to get what she don't wanna give
Like it's your birthday, it's what we'll forgive (Harmony))
You just hit, you hit this spot
I'm frustrated, getting hot
How do you do it, how do you sleep at night?
If she only knew it, you're dreaming of me at night
How do you do it, do it?
You speak, I become, automatically undone

I'll give you something to think about
When you get home, a little something to trip about
Come on baby it's that time
Get my body in a recline
Watch me let it go, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh, uh-oh

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You just hit, you hit this spot
I'm frustrated, getting hot

Work it like you know it boy
You got to get me through the day, oh boy
Work it like you know it boy
You got to get me through the day, oh boy
Work it like you know it boy
You got to get me through the day, oh boy
Work it like you know it boy
You got to get me through the day, oh boy

I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE

Oh-oh
Take me, why don't you take me, now I got you all alone
Maybe I'll show you baby how to take control
It's been a while since you've been on the prowl
It's your chance to have me now
I'm so caught up by the thought of you yeah
Save me, cause I'm about to go crazy
I know they're watching, it don't phase me
Cause boy you got me so tenderly

I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more
And this feeling I got to explore, baby tonight

You see me on the dancefloor, I wanna show you some more
A private lesson behind closed doors
Now we can take this slowly, how much do you wanna know me?
But boy you do not own me, feel the heat (Feel the heat)
Now we've got this started, tell me just how you want it
So I can be all that you dreamed and more
Now after all this talking, you got me feeling something
I'm running out of patience, I just wanna take you
Save me, cause I'm about to go crazy
I know they're watching, it don't phase me
Cause boy you got me so tenderly

I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more
And this feeling I got to explore, baby tonight

HEY THERE DELILAH

Hey there Delilah, what's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes, you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah, don't you worry about the distance
I'm right here if you get lonely, give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise, I'm by your side

Oh, it's what you do to me, oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me, oh, it's what you do to me

Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard
Just believe me, girl, someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would, my word is good
Hey there Delilah, I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you, would take your breath away
We'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall, we'd have it all

Oh, it's what you do to me, oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me, oh, it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
And they've got planes and trains and cars, I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because we know, that none of them have felt this way
(Delilah, I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never, ever be the same
And you're to blame (Harmony))
Hey there Delilah, you'll be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school, I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you, this one's for you

Oh, it's what you do to me, oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me, oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me, oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me
