Music and Lyrics: Sophie B. Hawkins.

I went to a party
The folks were fine
I ate coconut cake
And drank old red wine

And all on the way home
I thought about life
How so much good
Is borne of so much strife

And when I finally crawled into bed
You would not believe the words in my head
they said

Oh baby love yourself
Ain’t nobody else
Gonna fill up that hole

Oh baby love yourself
Ain’t nobody else
Can carry your soul

I went to a sleep over
The kids were wacked
Thier bodies were centaurs
And they heads were hacked

And all on the way home
I thought about time
When it’s yours’
And when it’s mine

And I cannot believe
That this is the deal
But I can only trust the things I feel

Oh baby love yourself
Ain’t nobody else
Gonna fill up that hole

Oh baby love yourself
Ain’t nobody else
Can carry your soul

Don’t you care what people think
You know you’re on the brink
Of breaking the chains
And you best be kind
Train your mindTo heal your pain

Oh baby love yourself
Ain’t nobody else
Gonna fill up that hole
Yeah baby love yourself
Ain’t nobody else
Can carry your soul

Oh darlin’ love yourself
Ain’t nobody else
Can kick at your goal
Oh baby love yourself
Ain’t nobody else
Can make you whole

Music and Lyrics: Sophie B. Hawkins.

You lied to my face You stole my happiness You left

Without a forwarding address You want another piece of me But I gave it all for free I’m better off without you I’m really doing fine My whole life was about you And now I’m finding mine We dove in the curl

Every day our flag was red We changed the world
Until you took my best friend to bed

You got what you planned for But I got so much more I’m better off without you I’m really doing fine My whole life was about you And now I’m finding mine It’s scary to lose you I thought you were my best part I’m better off without you I hope you heal your heart

Bye bye baby I’m hitting my stride So long darling I still got my pride

I’m better off without you I’m really doing fine My whole life was about you And now I’m finding mine I’m better off without you I’m really feeling good And now the truth about you Is hurting like it should It’s scary to lose you I thought you were my best part I’m better off without you I hope you heal your heart

Lyrics: Sophie B. Hawkins

How
Did I find you here
Through
The trees you appear
Green eyes
Green eyes in the snow
Green eyes
Take me with you where you go
I
Wanted to play
You
Told me to stay
Green eyes
Green eyes in the snow
Green eyes
Take me with you where you go
Show me what I’m missing
Show me how to leave this world alone
Show me now
A love that calls me home
Time
Turns into space
And I,
I know your face

Music and Lyrics: Sophie B. Hawkins.

Nobody knows me
And yet you’ve touched an undiscovered yearning
My heart is a mystery
Yet of the way you’re quickly learning.

I wanna free myself with you
Let my soul fly
I can’t lift these feelings too big
For me to carry.

Why does it matter what we’re born
Aren’t we supposed to make our own decisions
Who we love and who
We want to marry.

I love your laugh and
I love the way you say I got it
You’re like a hot bath
I find the windows of your mind hypnotic.

I wanna free myself with you
Let my soul fly
I can’t lift these feelings too big
for me to carry.

Why does it matter what we’re born
Aren’t we supposed to become
Mind, soul and body
Who we love.

Even in my blindness
I feel you getting through to me
The ways you utilize
Tenderness and Kindness
To wipe the scales from my eyes.

I wanna be myself with you
Let my soul fly
I can’t lift these feelings too big
For me to carry.

Why does it matter what we’re born
Aren’t we supposed to become
Mind, soul and body
Who we love and who
We want to marry.

Music and Lyrics: Sophie B. Hawkins.

Some nights I’m on a long black train
Through the countryside
Some days I let a rockinghorse
Take me for a ride
And I like to float alone
On the rising tide
Consume me in your fire
Don’t spare me for your wife
Lay my body on your pyre
I’d rather be your life
Some nights I want to wake you up
While you’re sleeping
Some days I want to shake you up
While you’re weeping
And why should I re-break my heart
If you ain’t leaping
Consume me in your fire
Don’t spare me for your wife
Lay my body on your pyre
I’d rather be your life
So spend me with abandon
Don’t save me for your death
Baby use me at random
I’d rather breathe your breath

Music and Lyrics: Sophie B. Hawkins.

Looking out on a sea of faces
Everybody’s got their places
I got none
Summer rain is coming down
Peace and love are wrapped around everyone
Baby when you walk away
I can’t keep loneliness at bay
You take my hand and I transform
You kiss my lips and I want more
I only hungered for love before
I’m ready to break down
Tumble off the edge of sound
Like a feather
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put me back together again
Baby when you come around
I feel all of my walls tumbling down
You take my hand and I transform
You kiss my lips and I want more
I only hungered for love before
I didn’t know you existed
Stealing like a mist across the bay
But your love has persisted
And I want you, yes I want you
I want you not to go away
You take my hand and I transform
You kiss my lips and I want more
I only hungered for love before

Lyrics: Sophie B. Hawkins.

Tell me what you want
Tell me how you want it
Tell me what you want
Tell me how you want it
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel it
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel it
Baby let me pull up your treasure
Pull up your treasure
This is your happy ending
Your fantasy
Real life can stop pretending
To be as perfect as it seems to be
If you believe in fairytales
Tell me all you see
Tell me how you see it
Don’t forget to breathe
Tell me all your secrets

Music and Lyrics: Sophie B. Hawkins.

You wanted to be the best little girl
Now you wanna be the best big mom
Give your kids what you never had
Teach them right from wrong
You had to be daddy’s little girl
Now you’ve got to be the perfect wife
But you can’t hold back the land slide
And you can’t control your life
Do it with love
Telling no lies
You’re playing with the devil girl
But you’re an angel in disguise
You’re on the road less traveled now
But your kids still sleep in their own beds
Don’t stare in the rear view mirror
Look ahead
Do it with love
Telling no lies
You’re playing with the devil girl
But you’re an angel in disguise
Out of the box
Go for the prize
He’ll never know that he’s been touched
By an angel in disguiseThey’ll never understand you anyway
The chips are coming down like rain
You have to play
If you have to explain
Do it with love
Telling no lies
You’re playing with the devil girl
But you’re an angel in disguise
Out of the box
Go for the prize
He’ll never know that he’s been touched
By an angel in disguise
God only knows
The truth in your eyes
You play the devil oh so well
But you’re an angel in disguise

Music and Lyrics: Sophie B. Hawkins.

You can’t take anymore of me
I am setting myself free
I’m relying on my old chestnut tree
Blue skies
Belong to me
I’m Tired of taking care of you
I’m done with your lyin’ ways
And the trouble you’ve put me through
I’m past my cryin’ days
Please don’t find me
I’m building up my life anew
With you behind me
You can’t break anymore of me
I know who I’ve come to be
One fine mornin’ I unpacked the key
Pastures of plenty
Belong to me
I’m Tired of taking care of you
I’m done with your lyin’ ways
And the trouble you’ve put me through
I’m past my cryin’ days
Please don’t find me
I’m building up my life anew
With you behind me

Music and Lyrics; Sophie B. Hawkins.

You are my balloon
Floating through the sky
Your shoulder on a cloud
Between the sun and moon
Climbing very high
Acting very proud
I love looking at you
More than anything
I know you’ll always be
My dancer on a string
I will hold your hand
And carry you
As far as I can
You won’t need me long
But I’ll hold on
‘cause
You are my balloon
Strutting through the air
Twirling in the breeze
Laughing like a loon
Without a worldly care
Balancing with ease
I love looking at you
More than anything
I know you’ll always be
My dancer on a string
I will hold your hand
And carry you
As far as I can
You won’t need me long
But I’ll hold on
‘cause
You are my balloon
Above a sea of dreams
A lantern in the night
Whispering a tune
On your own jet stream
In and out of sight
I love looking at youMore than anything
I know you’ll always be
My dancer on a string
I will hold your hand
And carry you
As far as I can
You won’t need me long
But I’ll hold on
‘cause
You
are
my
balloon
