Girlfriend In This City - Nelly Furtado

May 20, 2010

Song Title: Girlfriend In This City
Artist: Nelly Furtado

I’ve been watchin you like a hawk
I know you’re hidin somethin’
When we’re together
I can hardly breathe
I feel like it’s gonna spill out of me
what i believe

I would rather wait
’till it looks so bad
That you can’t no longer hide it from me
I would rather wait
For the chance to get you in hide me

You’ve got a girlfriend in this city
You’ve got a girlfriend in this city
Oh, is your girlfriend pretty?
Does she look like me?

Does she blow your mind all the time
But I hear just passing time

You’ve got a girlfriend in this city
And it’s not me.

I stay at home on the other side of town
Waiting, oh lord, would u bring me flowers
You are far away
And when I don’t know it won’t hurt me, But it do
And worse is killing you all the guilt inside
I can see yeah, it’s true

You’ve got a girlfriend in this city
You’ve got a girlfriend in this city
Oh, is you girlfriend pretty?
Does she look like me?

And I’m dying to know what she’s like
Although I know it won’t make this right

You’ve got a girlfriend in this city
And it’s not me

Does she wears her hair up
Or her hair down
Is she quite

Or is she loud
Does she dress up
Or she dress down
Why you keep her around

Push it to you yeah (repeat)

You’ve got a girlfriend in this city
You’ve got a girlfriend in this city
Oh Is your girlfriend pretty?
I wanna see

Does she blow your mind all the time
But I hear just passing time

You’ve got a girlfriend in this city
And it’s not me

Girlfriend
Girlfriend
Girlfriend in this city
Girlfriend in this city

I Know about a girlfriend
I Know about a girlfriend in this city

I know about it (repeat)

Morning After Dark - Nelly Furtado

February 28, 2010

Song Title: Morning After Dark
Artist: Timbaland feat Nelly Furtado & SoShy

Go Timbo

I’ll be the same when it all goes up, I’ll be the same when it all goes down
Not the first one open it up, I’ll be the last one closing it out
Don’t know if I’ll give you a shot yet, Lil Mama, I’m peeping your style
Do I think you’re dope enough? Yup, one way of finding it out

The way you came at me, boo, don’t care, not afraid, I’m like wild
Really want it from head to toe, question if she gon’ let it out
Anyway the hour glass go, I don’t worry anyhow
Why don’t we see where it go? Let’s figure it out

When the cats come out the bats come out to play, yeah
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way, yeah
In the morning after

When the cats come out the bats come out to play, yeah
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way, yeah
In the morning after dark

Come on, SoShy

I got a little secret for ya, I never sleep when comes the night
But every time I smack my fingers I switch back into the light
My moon belongs to your sun, your fire is burning my mind
Is it love or is it lust? Something that I just can’t describe

Am I the one and only? ‘Cause you’re the only one
It felt so long and lonely, waiting for you to come
It’s looking bright and early, I’m willing to close my eyes
This is the unusual story, Timbo and SoShy

When the cats come out the bats come out to play, yeah
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way, yeah
In the morning after

When the cats come out the bats come out to play, yeah
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way, yeah
In the morning after dark

Go Nelly

I need some REM but I don’t like sleeping alone
So come and pick me up as soon as you put down the phone
I wanna get into trouble, later you’ll carry me home
I wanna go undercover, I just wanna rattle your bones

Yes, I’m the one and only but I’m not the only one
So let’s work overtime on this shift, it ends with the sun
Maybe we can start a riot, maybe we can run this town
Maybe I’ll be your vampire, we could figure it out

When the cats come out the bats come out to play, yeah
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way, yeah
In the morning after

When the cats come out the bats come out to play, yeah
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way, yeah
In the morning after dark

Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, in the morning after dark
Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, in the morning after dark
Please don’t leave me, girl, in the morning after dark
Please don’t leave me, girl, in the morning after dark
Please don’t leave me, girl

When the cats come out the bats come out to play
When the cats come out the bats come out to play
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way

When the cats come out the bats come out to play
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way

Turn Off The Light - Nelly Furtado

June 9, 2008

Song Title: Turn Off The Light
Artist: Nelly Furtado

It’s getting so lonely inside this bed
Don’t know if I should lick my wounds or say woe is me instead
And there’s an aching inside my head
It’s telling me I’m better off alone
But after midnight morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some

(Chorus)
They say that girl ya know she act too tough tough tough
Well it’s till’ I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl you know she act so rough rough rough
Well it’s till’ I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say follow me follow me follow me down down down down
till’ you see all my dreams
Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems

I looked above the other day
Cuz I think I’m good and ready for a change
I live my life by the moon
If it’s high play it low, if it’s harvest go slow and if it’s full, then go
But after midnight morning will come
And the day will see if you’re gonna get some

(Chorus)

I’m searching for things that I just cannot see
Why don’t you don’t you don’t you come and be with me
I pretend to be cool with me, want to believe
That I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve
I’m running, I’m running, catch up with me life
Where is the love that I’m looking to find
It’s all in me, can’t you see, why can’t you, why can’t you see it’s all in me

(Chorus)

Where is your logic
Who do you need
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need
Follow me down, follow me down down down,
I do not need I do not need nobody
Where is your logic
Who do you need
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need

Song Title: Meneater
Artist: Nelly Furtado

(Verse 1)
Everybody look at me, me
I walk in the door you start screaming
Come on everybody whatcha here for?
Move your body around like a nympho
Everybody get your necks to crack around
All you crazy people come on jump around
I want to see you all on your knees, knees
You either want to be with me, or be me!

(Chorus)
Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She’s a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cards
make you fall real hard in love
She’s a Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She’s a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all!

(Verse 2)
And when she walks, she walks with passion
when she talks, she talks like she can handle it
when she asks for something, boy, she means it

because she said she love you, love you long time!

(Chorus)
Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love

She’s a Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She’s a maneater

make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all!

(Chants)

Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She’s a maneater

make you cut cards
make you fall real hard in love
She’s a Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She’s a maneater

Wish you never ever met her at all!

you wish you never ever met her at all!
you wish you never ever met her at all!
you wish you never ever met her at all!

I’m Like A Bird - Nelly Furtado

June 9, 2008

Song Title: I’m Like A Bird
Artist: Nelly Furtado

You’re beautiful, that’s for sure
You’ll never ever fade
You’re lovely but it’s not for sure
That I won’t ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

(Chorus)
I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away
I don’t know where my soul is, I don’t know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away
I don’t know where my soul is , I don’t know where my home is
All I need for you to know is

Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don’t know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

(Repeat Chorus)

It’s not that I wanna say goodbye
It’s just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I’m going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I’m just scared
That we may fall through

(Repeat Chorus) (3x)
