Yeah, I know you got the universe in your hands (Lucky you!) Yeah, I know you got the lovin' of every man (Eh, good for you...) And I know you think everyone else cares about it too (Yeah, we don't!) Cos I know you think it's all about you (Ha! Here we go) It's all about you, all about you, no one can get on without you. So damn blind, can't even see that all you think is me, me me. Well you got everyone fooled, but it's not all about you. (No it's not) Now I ain't saying that there's nothing from this story to be told. No, I'm just saying that this ego trip's getting old. Cos you can't stand if no one sees, well too damn bad, just watch me leave. But you won't care cos you, you got him fiendin' (You fiend!) [Chorus] It's time to choose, time to change. Well, you been nothin' more than fake. But you won't know, you don't listen anyway! [Chorus]

Lucky 03:18
I could tell you about my life in terms of all the things that made me cry, and I could, I could whine about how hard it is, what a waste of time! The things that make life worth living, the things about I should be singing are not the dark, they're not the down. They're the things that are all around that make us smile. Oh please, just let me smile :) I'm lucky I got you, and you got me, and we're just one little loving family. I'm lucky I don't see things in black and white, lucky I got a thinking mind and I know, it's true, it's all because of you. See, there's always a cloud, always the dark. But you can't let the bad times poison your heart, cos that's all it wants, all it needs. The darkness doesn't want you to see, so just let the light into your life, it'll find its way if you give it time and the love will find its way in too. I'm lucky we made it through, I'm so lucky that I got you. And I'm lucky I got soul, lucky that I know what's worth fighting for and I know, it's true, it's all because of you. I'm lucky I've known pain cos without it I wouldn't love the same and I'm lucky I loved so hard, cos it's opened up a piece of my heart and I know, it's true, it's all because of you. I don't got money, but I got heart. No I don't got no convertible car, but what I got is all I need so I don't need their damn charity. I'm lucky I got you and you got me and we're just the best little loving family. And I'm lucky I know that now, cos I can make a smile from a big, bad frown. And I got friends and I got song, and that's all I needed all along. And I know it's true, it's all because of you!

Be 02:58
I'm tired of leaving and being left behind, I'm tired of this pressure that's built up in my mind. I've been lonely quite a while it seems, so could we just lie here, could we just be? For a while, I've wanted you to know it's getting harder each time I have to go. So instead of running away, this time I think I'll try to stay. I just want to watch the world float by, I just want to see the birds in the sky. I don't want to have to decide, so you and me, could we just be? I'm sick of analysis, of having to choose. What would I gain from this, how much would I lose? So could we just stay here today? I'd usually leave, but I'm trying to change. [Chorus] I just want to feel the sun on my back, I just want to have a good, long laugh. I don't want to be the one that leaves, so you and me, could we just be? [Chorus]

Some people call me broken, like something's wrong. Well, I'm just waiting for someone nice to come along. Anyway, I can do it better alone, but sometimes I get tired of being on my own. And I don't want to be afraid, but so far they've all been the same. Prove me wrong, be the one I can count on. When I need you the most, will you be gone? I'm on my knees, begging please, make me believe. Don't get me wrong, don't misunderstand. I don't need nobody holdin' my hand. But I guess someday I'll try to find somebody that's worth my time and I don't want to be afraid, but so far they've all been the same. [Chorus] Maybe I'm a cynic cos I assume the worst, never tryin' to find the good in men cos I just been hurt too many times to justify believin' their lies and keepin' trust alive. [Chorus]

Little Girl 03:58
I'm not your little girl anymore, I told my demons to go. They're still packing their things, but there's things you need to know. Every time you left me on the floor, bruised and broke, hiding behind closed doors. Every time you made me say I love you, just gave me one more reason not to. I'm not your little girl anymore, I told my demons to leave. They're still packing their things, but I'm starting to believe. I don't need you to hold me, I don't need you to love me, I just need you to leave. I don't need more I'm sorry's or anything, I just need you to leave. I remember you taught me how to ride my bike when all I wanted was to fly away. I remember all the times you dried my eyes, but it won't make up for all the times you made me cry.
