Jack Johnson wrote the song 'Flake' years ago. Its legendary.  So, I decided to remix it.  I re-wrote the lyrics to the verses, but kept the hook (repeat/chorus/refrain) the same. I also changed the rhythm of the way its played. Its recorded live (un-mastered) because these days everyone auto-tunes their music and its way too repetitious.  Download it, spread it, send it to Oprah, etc.

The lyrics areeeeeee:

I can almost picture you, doin your make up in my mirror, youre so pretty
Dressed up for me, but played with every man that, goddamn dropped down to his knee
Youre an independent soul, but a naked lover of many
That gypsy breath would kiss my dream, then steal my tongue, rob me for my peace

"And it seems to me that maybe, pretty much always means no
So dont tell me, you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy, it seems to stand in our way, and no one, no not no one
Likes to be let down (Jack Johnson, Flake)"

You were my favorite cinema, your moves play through my mind, every night, girl
You were my favorite substance, I still taste your smell, with all of my life
Shell stay for a little just to deal her drug, that naked love is her addiction
She wears her mind on her sleeve, swears by flowers and peace, but that aint her religion

"And it seems to me that maybe, pretty much always means no
So dont tell me, you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy, it seems to stand in our way, and no one, no not no one
Likes to be let down (Jack Johnson, Flake)"

"I know she loves the sunrise, no longer sees it with her sleeping eyes and, I know that when
She said shes gonna try well it might not work because of other.. (Jack Johnson, Flake)"

I Don't Wanna [Live At TRI Studios] - Roem & The Revival

Trying to sleep with you there
Feel like a child when it’s snowing outside trying to pay attention in class
But your body’s so new and the way you move back in forth inside the spoon
Mmmm mmmm mmmm
 
Why does it have to be so hard
When you want what I want and we’re both right here
 
Trying to sleep with you there
Try to keep my breath off your neck and my hands off your hair
And with every sound you make, I pray to god you’re awake
So I can stake my claim
 
Why does it have to be so hard
When you want what I want and we’re both right here
Why does it have to be so hard with these inches like miles
When you want what I want and we’re both right here
 
With these inches like miles
With these minutes like hours
 
Chorus

Lyrics:
Hook 1:
Sittin on my porch sippin wine
wonderin when youre comin over tonight
Ive been thinkin all about you (x2)
Sittin on my porch sippin whiskey
watching the night fall away
Ive been thinkin all about you (x2)

Verse 1: 
Youre comin over, roller coaster
of emotions, got me thinkin,
that you might be somethin potent,
got me hopin that I may
get to, Ya I may get to 

Hook 2:
Lay You, so come on over boo (x4)

Repeat Hook 1

Verse 2:
Dippin in the ocean
not thinkin about your potions
just the motions of your hips
ya lemme hold you like this,
feel my hands all down your body.
Ive been thinkin that we gotta get it on
and let loose,theres freedome with no rules,
be free, like the water and the leaves,
smoke dreams, let me be your peace,
then I may get to,

Hook 2

Breakdown:
Im feelin good girl, yes Im feelin good
your feelin good girl, yah youre feelin good
I wanna

Repeat Hook 2

Repeat Hook 1
