1. Sticky Situation

So you got dumped on your rump
Not surprised you had nothing to say
To your friends the night before your birthday
But you got up and took control of the situation
Got it then he wants you back without an explanation
You change your style
You change your hair
Your jeans got tighter
Now people stare
He bites his hand and doesn't stop thinking about you
He asks a friend to ask you out now what do you do?

You know that he wants you but you don't want him anymore
This is this is this is a sticky situation [x4]

Well you caught her in the act with 'a Brad' from your work station
You used a baseball bat and now it's into litigation
But you stood up cooled off and walked away despite your temper
Now she's calling you from January to December
You let it slide
You played it cool
And now she calls you
But you're no fool
She's not even worth the time but I think you know this
And she can have all the boys that are on the checklist

You know that she wants you but you don't want her anymore
This is this is this is a sticky situation [x4]
[Repeat]

Woo
Don't get stuck!

It's that girl that you let go the one that doesn't get the picture
Because you left her right wanting to get back together
But you moved on found another and it leaves no question
She cries to her friends just to get attention
She puts you down
But you let her
You're feeling guilty
She's feeling better
But when she sees you
With another
She tears her heart out
You can't be bothered

This is this is this is a sticky situation [x4]
You know that she wants you but you don't want her anymore
This is this is this is a sticky situation !
You know that she wants you but you don't want her anymore
This is this is this is a sticky situation
You know that she wants you but you don't want her anymore



2. Baby Hates Me

My favourite situations
Are always sticky kinds
I'll be the first to cast stones
I don't let sleeping dogs lie

I'll sing it from a mountain
Just take me to the top
I'll scream it 'til my lungs pop
I'll stand here ‘til I drop.

The feeling
Is leaving
It's all gone
It's deceiving
If we don't stop put me in a coffin
Cause you and I have absolutely nothing in common

Baby! I know you hate me
And you can't shake me

You make me rock solid
Hot and bothered
It don't matter
I can shake you
Yeah

You used to be so special
Now I'm bored all the time
You think the same of me too
Just say it
Don't be shy

The feeling
Is leaving
It's all gone
It's deceiving
If we dont stop put me in a coffin
Cause you and I have absolutely nothing in common

I used to want you
(Baby)
Now I don't want to
(I know you hate me)
Time to start movin' on
(But you still crave me
You just amaze me)
I used to want you
(And you can't change me)
Now I don't want to

You make me rock solid
Hot and bothered
It don't matter
I can shake you

Ohh baby, it's been a long time comin'
And it's just the way it's gotta be
But I know this is one thing..
One thing we won't fight about
And you can put my name on the dotted line

Yeah
(Baby! I know you hate me)
I used to want you
(But you still crave me)
Now I don't want to
(You just amaze me)
Time to start movin' on
(And you can't shake me
I know you hate me)
I used to want you
(And you can't shake me)
Now I don't want to

You make me rock solid
Hot and bothered
It don't matter
I can shake you



3. Don't Fall in Love

Please don´t look around for anybody else
Why don´t you concentrate on yourself

Someone´s gotta say that it´s ok to feel alone
You´re not a freak you don't need help

Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!
Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!

And when the radio…
Plays a lovesong…
Something that you should know
They´re all wrong!

Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!
Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!
Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!
Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!

All your friends got someone else they hang out with
And now you want your someone else too
But to me it all seems that they breakup just to makeup
They got nothing to do…

So why don´t you consider just eliminate it
All the fuzz and fighting around
I´m not trying to tell ya what to do
Just wanna pick you up ‘cause you're down

Here's something they're never gonna tell ya (wo-o-a)
I kinda figured it out… (wo-o-a)
As much as people wanna love ya
They'll always wanna try to bring you down

Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!
Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!

And when the radio…
Plays a lovesong…
Something that you should know
They´re all wrong!

Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!
Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!
Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!
Everybody wants to fall in love… Not me!
I'm not gonna fall for it!



4. She 's Drugs

Distraction number one, her looks kill more than a shotgun
Shakes it up a little downtown, with the right crowd,
but she always stands out
You think it's all in good fun, you know it's not when she's done
What's she gonna do, haven't got a clue
Here's the situation, she's your medication

Like white lines on a mirror!

She's drugs, she's drugs, just one look and you get addicted
She's drugs, she's drugs, you took a look and now you're hooked,
It's what I predicted (x2)

She's taking over now, she's in control, don't know how
I've seen it with my own eyes, and I realise, she's always in disguise
There's no stop to the world she spins,
She looks like an angel, but she's all sin
Boy, you're so pathetic, you're never gonna get it
Here's the situation, she's your medication

Like white lines on a mirror!

She's drugs, she's drugs, just one look and you get addicted
She's drugs, she's drugs, you took a look and now you're hooked,
It's what I predicted (x2)

I want mymymymymymymymy my drugs(x2)

Look Out!

She's drugs, she's drugs, just one look and you get addicted
She's drugs, she's drugs, you took a look and now you're hooked,
It's what I predicted (x2)



5. The Finger

Nobody Really cares what you have to say
You get cut off in traffic cause everyday's a bad day
What do you do you don't wanna cause a scene
But If you do nothing they'll step all over you, you're too naive
This is what you do
Look 'em in the eye
open your mouth And Say...

You get you get you get you get you get the finger! (X 2)

You catch your boyfriend with your best friend on the floor
Or some girl you gone out with don't want you anymore
Two Wrongs don't make a right, but you know what I'd do
Listen to me watch this and do it too
This is what you do
Look 'em in the eye
Open up your mouth And Say...

You get out get you get you get you get The Finger! (X 4)

Give it to 'em for counting you out
Give it to 'em for leaving you back
And when you raise it tell them
"Now I give you the finger!"

You get, The Finger! (X 2)
You Get you get you get you get you get The Finger! (X 2)



6. First Date

First Date, Electricity
When you walk in, You suck my circuitry
Back it up, With attitude
When people sweat it out, You always Play It cool
I think I know You, I'm gonna bet
That you like Superchunk, And Joan Jett
Get your quick fix, In my car
You got a sweet tooth, And I'm your chocolate bar

And it goes on and on and on and on,
on and on and on.

And I say:
Heeeeeeeeeey do you kiss on the first date (X 2)
Cause I do, cause I do (X 5)

New York doll, On the catwalk
I like to play it discreet, You only wanna shock
Spray-paint your, tight jeans on
And cruise yourself, it don't feel wrong
So take a chance, Give me a shot
You think I'm bluffing? I think I'm not
Get on your high heels, give me a heart attack
I got a question, for your sweet ass

And it goes on and on and on and on
On and on and on

And I say
Heeeeeeeeeey do you kiss on the first date (x4)
Cause I do, Do you too? Wanna do it with you
If you do, would you do what i do?
Uh-woo-hoo-hoo

Well hello baby you look so hot tonight!
Can I hold your hand? Well thank you.
Now this is what we're gonna do on our date today.
We're gonna do all the things all the couples like to do.
We're gonna go to a movie, we're gonna have some dinner, take a walk,
look at the moonlight, Anything you want but baby I got a question:

Do you kiss on the first date?
Heeeeeeeeeey let's do it on the first date?
Heeeeeeeeeey what do you do on the first date?
Heeeeeeeeeey do you kiss on the first date?
Cause I do, cause I do, cause I do,
Cause I do, cause I do, cause I do,
Wuh-hoo-hoo!



7.Invisible

I'll crash my car, just for you.
I'll burn my house down, just for you.
I'll rip my nuts off, just for you.
I'll max my creditcards.

I'll sell my soul, just for you.
But nothing seems to be good enough.
I might be the longer road,
but I'd make it worth your while.

When you're invisible, it's easy. (2x)

I'll rip my eyes out, just for you.
I'll slash my wrists up, just for you.
I'll break my dick, just for you.
I'll make my momma cry.

I'll dip my hands in blood,
I'll be your kicking dog.
Point your crosshairs at my head,
I'll take it all.

When you're invisible, it's easy. (2x)

Come on, all right.
All right!

I'll crash my car, just for you.
I'll burn my house down, just for you.
I'll rip my nuts off, just for you.
I'll max my creditcards.

I'll rip my eyes out, just for you.
I'll slash my wrists up, just for you.
I'll break my dick, just for you.
I'll make my momma cry.

When you're invisible, it's easy. (2x)

9. When Will I See You

When will I see you again?
Its a question I ask all the time...
Its now the last time till the end
All I need to see is a sign

It's starting to wear me down
Little by little
Feeling like a sick dog
Everythings gone wrong

Tell me what it takes!
To make it like yesterday!
One thing that is true!
I'll be waiting!

If I only knew what was right
I'd do it in a second to calm down
Oh baby, when day falls night
My heart always ends up on the ground

When will I see you again?
It's a question I ask all the time...
It's now the last time till the end
All I need to see is a sign

Everynight, Spent alone, Nothing gets easy, No one comes home
It's simple when you say!
I've accepted what's come to me!
Tell me what it takes...
I'll be Waiting

If I only knew what was right
I'd do it in a second to calm down
Oh baby, when day falls to night
My heart always ends up on the ground

When will I see you again?
It's a question i ask all the time...
It's now the last time till the end
All I need to see is a sign

If i only knew what was right
I'd do it in a second to calm down
Oh baby, when day falls to night
My heart always ends up on the ground


When will I see you again?
It's a question I ask all the time...
It's now the last time till the end
My heart always ends up on the ground


When will I see you again?
It's a question I ask all the time...
It's now the last time till the end
All I need to see is a sign



10. Time Heals Nothing

I've got these feelings, alive in my head
Don't listen to reason, they only see red
And I'm coming to get you, coming to get you
I know I'm gonna live through this,
and when the wound on my back heals
I'm coming to get you, coming to get you
Alright!

Just look at me, Im living proof, that time heals nothing!
Just look at me, Im living proof, that time heals nothing!

The bullet is logded in my skull,
I refuse less and risk it all
Cuz I'm coming to get you, coming to get you
I know I'm gonna live through this,
and when the wound on my back heals
I'm coming to get you, coming to get you
Alright!

Just look at me, Im living proof, that time heals nothing!
Just look at me, Im living proof, that time heals nothing!

I've got these feelings, alive in my head
Don't listen to reason, they only see red
And I'm coming to get you, coming to get you
On the day I find you the sun will shine,
the birds will sing, everything will be right
I'm coming to get you, And I'm coming to get you

Living Proof!

Alright!

Just look at me, Im living proof, that time heals nothing!
Just look at me, Im living proof, that time heals nothing!



11. Sleep is the Enemy

I'm ready when I wake up I'll take on everything I'm made of gasoline
Relax is not a word I understand it makes no sense to me
Attack never bend shit man you should do something
Don't think that time stands still it's passing you by Meanwhile I'm ready

Sleep is the enemy Sleep is the enemy

Good Morning how you doin hit the Bottom rock the cradle
Skim the fat get the payoff stay lean keep the Blood clean and get ready
Fear is what needs to be put to Sleep out of reach
And when you Decide you've got to do it and move it you can feel it

Sleep is the enemy Sleep is the enemy

Stay still be calm relax Screw that pull the alarm
Make the waves roll the dice suck the life beat on the Brat
Cut the crap turn the white black

You know what I'm talking about

I'm ready when I wake up I'll take on everything I'm made of gasoline
Relax is not a word I understand it makes no sense to me
Sleep is the enemy Sleep is the enemy I'm ready
