i've been lost in space for so long your gravitation pull is so strong my mind is orbiting in circles please tell me now if you're my girl you send me over and out straight through the clouds and to the moon you're burning bright just like a comet the stars aligned when our eyes first met there'll be no need for a crash landing tell Houston love's all we're demanding you send me over and out straight through the clouds and to the moon we don't need a telescope to see how happy we could be and i know you'll stake your claim soon to the moon
2.
You can take my heart and tear it all apart Just don't go You can run around it won't bring me down Just don't go You can make it hurt i know it's just your flirt Just don't go I will understand if i'm your second man Just don't go You've got a strange way to say what's on your mind It won't long be 'til i'm by your side (sometimes)

took the bad and made it worse you turned my kiss into a curse you said you were mine and i was yours you split my heart up into fours don't think that i don't know don't think it doesn't show you want to leave for someone new took the sweet and made it sour turned my week into and hour add me up and then reduce this en vogue heart turned recluse don't think that i don't know don't think it doesn't show you want to leave for someone new i know you've been thinking of him don't leave me out on a limb don't think that i don't know don't think it doesn't show...it does you want to leave for someone new you want to leave for someone new well i do too

Have you heard the news? I've got the blues I've had them so long They're turning gray I've been astray Since yesterday And now I've found That i can't be found Why did you have to leave? And why am I so relieved? When I look around This hollow town All I see are memories I'm losing sleep Days are loud and cheap The answers seem so far from me Up above somewhere Past the sun Maybe there's a place Where we can be as one But I don't know

Boy Trap 02:39
Blowing kisses like you're throwing darts You're taking numbers on your paper heart Spanish fly in your champagne glass You got the fur to match your Bowie sass You're always out to stake another claim You found your gun but you lost your aim You're always out to set a new boy trap To see which fool falls in your lap Mirrors and lines 'cause the night is young You'll turn it down when your song is sung Lipstick traces from your Virgo charm You lead them on but you mean them no harm
6.
Mascara 02:42
Close calls Can you hear the hearts stop in china dolls? Weigh in Brace for impact before we begin I wrote this letter to say: "I won't be the first and when I'm better I will try and lift your curse." Take sides Who goes where when you script your divide? Knife wounds Here or there or is it too soon? Don't take this the wrong way Adulteress moves are child's play And when i'm said and done It won't be long 'til you’re onto the next one (Here comes the next one) Soft hands Can you make a list of your new demands? Idle eyes Here's your cue for one last goodbye
7.
P's and Q's 02:28
This is the path we found and we chose Young ideas laced with beats and decorative clothes Tell me what you want Show me what you got I already know Tell me I'm the one Show me how it's done I already know I think you should know Time to react now There's no turning back now This dreadful pain requires more than just some pills A new seduction of adolescent thrills Tell me what you want Show me what you got I already know Tell me i'm the one Show me how it's done I already know I think you should know Time to react now There's no turning back now The frequency has changed And left you in it's wake The frequency has changed

Girl I love the way you move Taunting boys from the side of the room Girl I love the way you kiss Now i'm in a trance and I can't resist I don't know who you are But you just walked away with my heart Don't go Girl I love the way you shake you have all I give and that's all I can take Girl I love the way you shout We're in the first round and you're knocking me out
9.
What will it take to take you off my mind? I should have known you were the hurting kind You've got the walk and you've got the moves You talk the talk and now I stand to lose What did I do to make you do this to me? And how can I prove there's still something left for us to be You got the look and you've got the style That's all it took to put my heart on trial Nameless and shameless And that's all you live for I've seen your face a thousand times before It's a disgrace you're not keeping score Baby your nameless and shameless And that's all you live for Don't think you're famous 'Cause aimless acts are all a bore

I wake up waiting to see snowfall Without a winter lover it's so dull And oh she goes And I would go if my eyes weren't froze Snow angel whisper a sweet nothing Don't let your love melt when it's spring And oh she goes And I would go if my eyes weren't froze
11.
Purple Pose 01:55
I've been sad cause I've been had You blow my mind and drive me mad Before I go I got to know Got me going my tears are overflowing Your slacks are low and your hips are showing Before I go I got to know Girl you got to let me know Before these feeling start to show Are together or am I alone? Please let me know
12.
We first met when you crashed your car Didn't think we'd take it very far We killed some time when we were bored Got myself tangled in your cord I always said you were for me and without you I'm not complete We had our ups they soon fell down I still feel something when you're around You found another I did too I'll win you back before I'm through
