One of the BoysBack to Track List

I saw a spider I didn’t scream
‘Cause I can belch the alphabet
Just double dawg dare me
And I chose guitar over ballet
And I tape these suckers down
‘Cause they just get in my way

The way
You look at me
Is kinda like a little sister
You high five
Your goodbyes
And it leaves me nothing but blisters

(Chorus)
So I don’t wanna be
One of the boys
One of your guys
Just gimme a chance to prove to you tonight
That I just wanna be
One of the girls
Pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys

So over the summer
Something changed
I started reading Seventeen and
Shaving my legs and
I studied Lolita religiously
And I walked right into school and caught you
Staring at me

‘Cause I know what you know
But now you’re gonna have to take a number
It’s okay
Maybe one day
But not until you gimme my
Diamond ring

(Chorus)
‘Cause I don’t wanna be
One of the boys
One of your guys
Just gimme a chance to prove to you tonight
That I just wanna be your
Homecoming queen
Pin up poster dream
Not one of the boys

I wanna be a flower
Not a dirty weed
I wanna smell like roses
Not a baseball team
And I swear maybe one day you’re gonna wanna make out
Make out, make out with me

Donít wanna be (echo) x 3

(Chorus)

I Kissed a GirlBack to Track List

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion

It’s not what
I’m used to
Just wanna try you on
I’m curious for you
Caught my attention

(Chorus)
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

No I don’t even know your name
It doesn’t matter
You’re my experimental game
Just human nature

It’s not what
Good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets
So confused
Hard to obey

(Chorus)

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain’t no big deal, it’s innocent

(Chorus)

Waking Up in VegasBack to Track List

You gotta help me out
It’s all a blur last night
We need a taxi
‘Cause you’re hung over
And I’m broke

I lost my fake I.D.
But you lost the motel key
Spare me your freakin’
Dirty looks now
Don’t blame me

You wanna cash out
And get the hell outta town
Don’t be a baby
Remember what you told me

(Chorus)
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That’s what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now
That’s what you get for waking up in Vegas

Why are these lights so bright
Did we get hitched last night
Dressed up like Elvis
Why am I wearing your class ring

Don’t call your mother
‘Cause now we’re partners in crime
Don’t be a baby
Remember what you told me

(Chorus)

You got me into this
Information overload
Situation lost control
Send out an S.O.S.

Ha, and get some cash out
We’re gonna tear up the town
No don’t be a baby
Remember what you told me
Remember what you told me
Remember what you told me
You told me
You told me

(Chorus)

That’s what you get baby
Shake the glitter
Shake shake shake the glitter
Gimme some cash out baby
Gimme some cash out baby

Thinking Of YouBack to Track List

Comparisons are easily done
Once you’ve had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed

You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know

(Chorus)
‘Cause when I’m with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes

You’re like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I’ve had the best
You said there’s
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

(Chorus)

You’re the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson’s learned
I touched it; I was burned
Oh I think you should know

(Chorus)

Your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won’t you walk through
And bust in the door and
Take me away
Oh no more mistakes
‘Cause in your eyes I’d like to stay

MannequinBack to Track List

How do I get closer to you
When you keep it all on mute
How will I know
The right way to love you

Usually the queen of figuring out
Breaking down a man is no work out
But I have no clue
How to get through to you

Oh oh oh
I wanna hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knocking on wood
Hoping there’s a real boy inside

(Chorus)
‘Cause you’re not a man
You’re just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
But you’re not a man

I wish I could just turn you on
Put a battery in and make you talk
Even pull a string
For you to say anything

But with you there is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch of broken parts
And I can’t seem to find your heart

Oh
I’m such a fool
I’m such a fool
I’m such a fool
This one’s outta my hands
I can’t put you back together again

(Chorus)
‘Cause you’re not a man
You’re just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
But you’re not a man

You’re just a toy
Could you ever be a real, real boy
And understand
But you’re not a man

If the past is the problem
Our future could solve them baby
I could bring you to life
If you let me inside baby
It’ll hurt
But in the end
You’ll be a man….

(Chorus)

Ur So GayBack to Track List

I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf
While jacking off, listening to Mozart
You bitch and moan about LA
Wishing you were in the rain reading Hemingway

You don’t eat meat
And drive electrical cars
You’re so indie rock it’s almost an art
You need SPF 45 just to stay alive

(Chorus)
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like boys
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like…

You’re so sad maybe you should buy a happy meal
You’re so skinny you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly you’re so amused
That nobody understands you
I’m so mean ‘cause I cannot get you outta your head
I’m so angry ‘cause you’d rather MySpace instead
I can’t believe I fell in love with someone that wears more makeup than…

(Chorus)

You walk around like you’re oh so debonair
You pull ‘em down and there’s really nothing there
I wish you would just be real with me

(Chorus)

No you don’t even like
Oh no no no no no no no
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like boys
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like… PENIS

Hot N ColdBack to Track List

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you P.M.S.
Like a bitch
I would know
And you over-think
Always speak cryptically
I should know
That you’re no good for me

(Chorus)
‘Cause you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
You’re wrong when it’s right
It’s black and it’s white
We fight we break up
We kiss we make up

You, you don’t really wanna stay no
You, but you don’t really wanna go o
You’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down

We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now’s a dead battery
Used to laugh
About nothing
Now you’re plain boring
I should know
That you’re not gonna change

(Chorus)

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of love bipolar
Stuck on a roller coaster
And I can’t get off this ride…

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes

(Chorus)

If You Can Afford MeBack to Track List

If you want me
The cherry on top
The pick of the pack
The créme de la crop
If you want me you better do better than that tonight
Oh oh
If you want me
It takes more than a wink
More than a drink
More than you think
If you want me you’re gonna have to break the bank tonight

‘Cause some don’t have the patience
Some call me high maintenance
But you pay the bill
‘Cause that’s the deal

(Chorus)
If you wanna ride
Just name your price
Don’t play cheap with your heart
Don’t make a bet if you can’t write the check
For me, for me
‘Cause I can be bought
But you’ll pay the cost
If you can afford me

If you want me
I’m not a piece of ass
A one night stand
A storage shed
I think you better walk by tonight
Oh no
If you want me
Then stop begging
I don’t put out for charity
If you want me there’s no discount price tonight

But I don’t need your dollar bills
I just want something real
‘Cause nothing’s free
Except loving me

(Chorus)

If you want me
The cherry on top
The pick of the pack
The créme de la crop…

(Chorus) x 2

LostBack to Track List

I’m out on my own again
Face down in the porcelain
Feeling so high but looking so low
Party favors on the floor
Group of girls banging on the door
So many new fair-weather friends…

(Chorus)
Have you ever been so lost
Known the way and still so lost

Caught in the eye of a hurricane
Slowly waving goodbye like a pageant parade
So sick of this town pulling me down
My mother says I should come back home but
Can’t find the way ‘cause the way is gone
So if I pray, am I just sending words into outer space?

(Chorus)
Have you ever been so lost
Known the way and still so lost
Another night waiting for someone to take me home
Have you ever been so lost

Is there a light
Is there a light
At the end of the road
I’m pushing everyone away
‘Cause I can’t feel this anymore
Can’t feel this anymore

(Chorus)

Self InflictedBack to Track List

Remember when
I dove into the crowd
And I got a bloody knee
Under my skin
A mark from wiping out
It brings back the memories

Every bone’s been broken
But my heart is still wide open

(Chorus)
I can’t stop don’t care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I’m going down in flames for you
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I’m addicted to

With each scar there’s
A map that tells a story
What a souvenir of
Young love’s like
Jumping out an airplane
Riding a tidal wave of
An ocean of emotion
My heart rips me wide open

(Chorus)

And I’d cover up these scars
But no make up can make up what we break up
And I can’t stop seeing stars
I’m so knocked out whenever you’re around

(Chorus)

I’m Still BreathingBack to Track List

I leave the gas on
Walk the alleys in the dark
Sleep with candles burning
I leave the door unlocked
I’m weaving a rope and
Running all the red lights
Did I get your attention
‘Cause I’m sending all the signs that

The clock is ticking
And I’ll be giving my two weeks
Pick your favorite shade of black
You best prepare a speech
Say something funny
Say something sweet
But don’t say that you loved me

(Chorus)
I’m still breathing
But we’ve been dead for a while
This sickness has no cure
We’re going down for sure
Already lost our grip
Best abandon ship…

Maybe I was too pale
Maybe I was too fat
Maybe you had better
Better luck in the sack
No formal education
And I swore way too much
I swear you didn’t care
‘Cause we were in love

So as I write this letter
And shed my last tear
Know it’s all for the better
That we end this here
Let’s close this chapter
Say one last prayer
But don’t say that you loved me

(Chorus)
I’m still breathing
But we’ve been dead for a while
This sickness has no cure
We’re going down for sure
Oh we’ve been diagnosed
So let’s give up the ghost

‘Cause I’m still breathing
But we’ve been dead for a while
This sickness has no cure
We’re going down for sure
Already lost our grip
Best abandon ship

FingerprintsBack to Track List

Voted most likely
To end up on the back of a milk box drink
Looks like I’m letting ‘em down
‘Cause $7.75
Isn’t worth an hour of my hard working time
When you can’t afford half the sh** they advertise
Oh I’m worth more than an X
More then a toe-tagged generation full of regrets
Oh I won’t settle no oh
Oh I can’t settle

I wanna break the mold
Wanna break the stereotype
Fist in the air
I’m not going down without a fight

(Chorus)
It’s my life
And I’m not sitting on the sidelines watching it
Pass me by
I’m leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
I’m leaving my fingerprints
I’m leaving my fingerprints
I’m leaving my fingerprints on you

Representing you and me
Don’t you wanna go down in history
Rather than end up
Begging on the streets
Trading under table favors
For a place to sleep

‘Cause I’m worth more than this
So stop writing prescriptions for more Ritalin
I can focus my attention

I wanna break the mold
Wanna break the stereotype
Fist in the air
I’m not going down with out a fight

(Chorus)
It’s my life
And I’m not sitting on the sidelines watching it
Pass me by
I’m leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
I’m leaving my fingerprints
I’m leaving my fingerprints

Don’t give up
But don’t give in
Build your house on the rock
Oh not in the sand, in the sand, in the sand, in the sand

(Chorus)
It’s my life
And I’m not sitting on the sidelines watching it
Pass me by
I’m leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me

It’s my life
And I’m not sitting on the sidelines watching it
Pass me by
I’m leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
‘Cause I’m leaving my fingerprints
I’m leaving my fingerprints
I’m leaving my fingerprints in the END

  1. [...] on les remplacés par des synthés. Plus mature non, plus assumé je dirais. Le coté pop-rock du premier album n’y est plus et à plutôt laissé toute la place à la pop. Vous pouvez faire la constatation [...]
