Verse 1:
Love is a game you cannot win
Unless you want to start
Dancing on the jagged rim
Of someone's broken heart

Oh, you cannot hold me
I'll slip right through your hands
Running from your tangled web
I will not love you back

Chorus:
But I can't help myself
When you kiss me like that
And I can't tell you now
If this is gonna last
Your love is dangerous
I wanna take a chance
'Cause I can't help myself
When you kiss me like that

Verse 2:
Love is a stranger you cannot see
Until it's much too late
It comes in and demands the key
To your free will and fate

Oh, you cannot find me
I've locked my heart away
But spellbound and undone by you
I will open up the gate

Chorus: 
'Cause I can't help myself
When you kiss me like that
And I can't tell you now
If this is gonna last
Your love is dangerous
I wanna take a chance
'Cause I can't help myself
When you kiss me like that

When you kiss me 
When you kiss me like that 

Bridge:
I'm lost in your eyes
I'm trapped in your heart
I'm captivated by the secrets in your smile 
You intrigue
I'm running from this desire
'Cause I'll only want you more
Only your love can save me now
Only your love can fulfill me

Repeat Chorus & Vamp

Kiss Me Like That

Secret a coin in your traveling shoe
Fasten your half-cloak, better to roam
Shake out your tall boots, make sure you have two
And you'll never have to go home.

Verse 1: 
Love is a game you cannot win
 Unless you want to start 
Dancing on the jagged rim
 Of someone’s broken heart

Pre Chorus 1: 
Oh, you cannot hold me
 I’ll slip right through your hands
 Running from your tangled web
 I will not love you back

Chorus: 
But I can’t help myself when you kiss me like that 
And I can’t tell you now if this is gonna last 
Your love is dangerous; I wanna take a chance
 ‘Cause I can’t help myself when you kiss me like that

Verse 2: 
Love is a stranger you cannot see 
Until it’s much too late
 It comes in and demands the key 
To your free will and fate
Pre Chorus 2: Oh, you cannot find me 
I’ve locked my heart away 
But spellbound and undone by you
 I will open up the gate

Repeat Chorus 
Vamp : When you kiss me, when you kiss me like that

Bridge:
 I’m lost in your eyes
 I’m trapped in your heart
 I’m captivated by the secrets in your smile 
You intrigue me I’m running from this desire 
‘Cause I’ll only want you more
 Only your love can save me now 
Only your love can fulfill me

Verse 1: 
Bind my feet and serve you tea;
 Is that really all that you think of me? 
Dress me up in satin, lace, and finery 
Paint me as a goddess coming out of the sea  
You make me feel inadequate
 You make me feel small 
You put me on a pedestal  
Then watch me fall 
You promise me the world;  
That I can have it all
 If I just do the things that make me beautiful

Pre Chorus:
 But there ain’t nothing wrong with me  that I can see

Chorus: 
You’re just a corset around my rib cage 
You’re just a choker around my neck 
You’re just a bit of ornamentation
 I can take off when I see fit 
You try to tell me that the shape of my body 
Does not match your ideal 
But you’re a corset around my rib cage 
You’re just a choker around my neck

Verse 2: 
You try to squeeze me into your fantasy 
And when I’m not a perfect fit you call me a freak 
I’m sure you’ll find some other girls who see what you see 
And join you in your fashionable hypocrisy  
You make-believe the lie that beauty never fades 
You’re keeping up appearances for all our sakes 
You steal away the dignity you try to save
 If I master all the rules
 I will become your slave
   
Bridge: 
Maybe the problem’s you, not me
 Dealing with your own inadequacy  
Maybe you’re just too hard to please
 Maybe you’re blinded by your greed  

Repeat Chorus

Secret a coin in your traveling shoe
Fasten your half-cloak, better to roam
Shake out your tall boots, make sure you have two
And you'll never have to go home.

Dance, though your mother and father be weeping
Pull on your hood; you've no need of a comb
Walk while the worst of the forest is sleeping
And you'll never have to go home.

Say Something

Intro:
I got your sugar, baby (x8)

Verse 1:
Tonight’s gonna be Red Hot synergy:
Payday is upon us and I need a drink
So when the beat drops I’ll feel free
To lose myself like Eminem with all my Peeps

PreChorus 1:
DJ, get me so excited; get me so excited now
Gotta get this party rocking; gonna let it all hang out	
DJ, shake my Cinna-buns; dancin’ with the lights out
Someone get me liquid fun; Lemon Drop on ice, now

Chorus:
Sugar, sugar, sugar baby
Feel the rush that we’re creating
Sugar, sugar, sugar baby
Don’t you want to drive me crazy?

Verse 2:
Hit me with your high-gloss energy
It’s hard to feel bitter when you are so sweet
You’re a candy apple and a real Smartie
I think I’ll have you Now & Later, if you please

PreChorus 2:
Honey, get me so excited; get me so excited now
Gotta get this body rocking; gonna let it all hang out
Honey, I’m your cotton candy; wind me up so tight now
Gonna make you kiss me dirty; kiss me with that nice mouth

Bridge:
The Milky Way keeps spinning me around
It runs through my blood just like a liquor candy
And when I finally come crashing down
Will you pick me up, or will you Snicker at me?
‘Cause I’ve got such a sweet tooth
I crave you, I need you


Sugar Baby

Verse 1: 
How many lifetimes have you lived through me?
I spin the shadows of your fantasies
But we spend our days getting paid
by marking off time in a windowless room
We spend our nights with our name in lights
flying high and howling at the moon

PreChorus 1:
I can make you thirst for this
I can make you live forever
It's all so glamorous; being gods among men
And if you play your cards right, 
you'll never see the sunrise again

Chorus:
I'm always searching for a brand new victim
I got you in my sights; I think you qualify
I'll sing the words and I will play the rhythm
your heart is beating to
I know you're gonna lose

Verse 2:
The beauty of your world is fading fast
But under my spell you'll believe it lasts
We spend our days in a haze of 
lamenting the fate of a world that's doomed
We spend your money and your life;
Ultimate sacrifice, and you're begging us to

PreChorus 2:
I can make you bleed for this
I can make you cry forever
It's all so murderous; right up to the end
And if you're not careful
You'll never see the devil within

Bridge:
We're dancing in the dark 
My hands around your heart
Seduce you with my arts
and we'll both play our parts
I'll take you under my wings
I love to hear your screams
As I devour your dreams...

When every source has finally been drained
We won't back down
We won't be found
The taste of you still flows through my veins
We won't lie down
We won't die out




The Vampires of Rock 'n' Roll

Pink Boom Box

Verse 1:
I had a ghetto blaster
And it was pink, like my room
And nearly every day 
I’d make mixed tapes
And blast those tunes
The only kid on the block
With a plush triceratops
Wearing two different pairs of socks
And rockin’ out with my pink boom box
Now I’m grown up in the club
And you keep catching my eye
You play your song telling me
to shake my ass, to twist and writhe
But I’m having none of it
I dance for the hell of it
You best get used to it
I don’t want to play with your joy stick

Chorus:
I got what’s hot
I know my dancing rocks
You want to watch
You can look, but don’t touch
I got what’s hot
I know my dancing rocks
But you’re not playing on my pink boom box

Verse 2:
You played with your Atari
I grew up rocking Mtv
I learned to dance 
By watching Britney and Run DMC
But your game is overrated
Your lines are so outdated
I’m getting exasperated
You shouldn’t be congratulated
Yeah, I know your type
You actually believe your own hype
Like I’m supposed to be impressed
with how you dress or bench press
or smoke your pipe
This decade’s not your scene
‘Cause I’m not your dancing queen
You best learn to treat me with R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Repeat Chorus

Tag:
Pink boom box, pink boom box
I don’t think you can handle my 
pink boom box (x2)

Verse 3:
It’s a dance, not a show
You could dance with me, you know
Instead of sitting on the sidelines
Yelling pick up lines
and eating chocolate fro-yo
You think you’re so legit
But you’re just talking shit
I think it’s time you quit
If you want something
You gotta work for it

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I may not have your Franklins
But I  got my own - Aretha
My prince’s name is Prince
My queen is Queen Latifah
My duke is David Bowie
The Beatles were my childhood friends
My only King is B.B.,
And I pledge allegiance to them

So if you know T.L.C.
With all the sensitivity
Of my boy Curtis Mayfield
This stoplight might turn to green
And if you call me on the phone
You better watch your tone
Keep it rich and sultry like
James Earl Jones

Repeat Chorus

Tag:
Pink boom box, pink boom box
I don’t think you can handle my pink boom box
Pink  boom box, pink boom box
No you can’t hold a candle to my pink boom box

I am a singer, songwriter, and musician who specializes in combining vocal harmonies, hammered dulcimer, piano, and guitar with electronic sounds and beats. I record in my little home studio, and am still learning how to record, mix, and generally be awesome. Please help me improve by leaving a comment. Thanks so much for dropping by.
