Barbie Doll

I will run your race, if you dish it I can take it

But I won’t lick the bottom of your shoe

I will hold on tight, and believe me I will fight

But there’s certain things I just won’t do

You may have a formula a diet for my mind

But why should I be listening to you?

Who gave you the right to be the ruler of my life?


You’re not my God, you’re not my teacher

What gives you the right to be my keeper?

I am a believer in myself you’re a deceiver and I’ve felt

your power poisoning my mind

I see your soul-sucking shame on you for cornering

the innocent and feeding them your lines

We may be little fish but we know how to swim

So you should not be trying to make us fly

BRIDGE:

Don’t waste your breath feeding me words I won’t ingest

Don’t point your finger in my face

I won’t be your barbie doll, your teddy bear your little ball

of clay that you can bend and mold and break

You may try to smother me but I’ve learned from my mother

there are certain things you just can’t take away

LOSING CONTROL

When did I get so weak
How did I end up in submission
When did I end up on my knees
How’d you get me down in this position?

I had my regimen and my routine
I had my head where it should be
You rattled my cage, you slapped me in a daze
How dare you do this to me

I’m licking your fingers, I’m licking your toes
I’m kicking myself for letting go
I’m licking your fingers, I’m licking your toes
I’m kicking myself for losing... control.

You ride me ruthless like a cowboy
You dig your spurs into my flesh
You strap me in, and then you begin
To lure me into shamelessness

Damn you for getting me so dirty
And making me like it when you do
How come I somehow enjoy the wicked things
that you make me do to you

SKIN

Come in, out from the cold
Take off your coat, brush off the snow
Leave all your bags outside the door
You won’t need them with me anymore

Skin, I want to get down to your skin
Don’t stop me from coming in
Take off your skin

Slip out from your shell, abandon your name
Peel off your layers, don’t be afraid
Come and lie down, breathe in my breath
I want to drown, drown in your flesh

Skin, there’s nothing between us but
Skin, don’t stop me from coming in
Take off your skin

I want to get deeper, I need even more
I want to dance with your soul, deep in your core
I try to swim through your eyes and crawl through your kiss
But I can’t seem to reach you your body resists

Skin, there’s nothing between us but
Skin, stopping me from coming in
Take off your skin

I wish I could meet you some place other than here
Where the world would fade and we’d both disappear

TWO FACES

You’re a smooth one and you got that smile

You keep everybody around intrigued for awhile

You feed us all a little cream and sugar and you pet me like a cat

You pump me up before launching your attack


You’re everybody’s favorite, everybody’s best friend

You come out looking like an angel, who’d you burn on the other end?


You got two faces, you go two ways

You got two tongues every other day

You got two stories and there’s been too much

That I don’t believe you anymore and I don’t trust you

One too many lies...

You breathe me in, you drink me down

When I’m not looking I know you’re gonna spit me out

‘Cause you always smile so pretty when you see the cameras flash

But behind the scenes I better watch my back

IF I ONLY KNEW

If I only knew what you were thinkin’

But somehow you got me sittin’ here drinkin’

Last night’s wine

It’s complicated and I know you’re right,

And baby believe me I don’t want to fight

We just need a little time

If I only knew what to do,

If I only knew how I could keep you

If I only knew what I wanted

And if I only knew what you wanted too

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what do I have to do to keep you

I used to think I knew you inside out,

Now I’m never sure what you’re talkin’ about

I don’t know what you’re meaning

I’m sittin’ in the dark awake in bed,

I can hear you breath as you sleep instead

I wonder what you’re dreaming?

If I only knew what to do,

If I only knew how I could keep you

If I only knew what I wanted

And if I only knew what you wanted too

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what I have to do to keep you

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what I have to do to keep you Oooh, oooh...

If I only knew what to do,

If I only knew how I could keep you

If I only knew what I wanted

And if I only knew what you wanted too

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what I have to do to keep you

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what you need...
