Someone Else 03:37
Someone Else Everybody’s got a virtual twin A different address with the same color skin It’s predetermined that I’m not gonna win Your embraces; take it on the chin now If that’s the case I might as well search all the rest Collecting images that rank with the best My first impression is replaced by the next I’m back to – a clean slate – without you Everybody Looks Like Someone Else Everybody Looks Like Someone Else Cause I know if you leave me like a Certified-preowned home stereo Everybody Looks Like Someone Else This realization brings the kid out of me I see Ground Hog Day unfold like a dream I’ll get at least another chance to achieve The key to – your heart and – your bedroom Everybody Looks Like Someone Else Everybody Looks Like Someone Else Cause I know if you leave me like a Certified-preowned home stereo Everybody Looks Like Someone Else If I lose my grip I’ll find another place To find the one like you Who’s got a different taste for ones like me

Online Dating I like to runaround in the nude, now are we telling the truth I got so good at doctoring and altering my face To trim my extra weight I probably drink to much but I’m ready to love I haven’t had any luck with online dating, so far Now I swear I’m not a psyco But I got caught watching my 16 year old neighbor last night No big deal, right? Now I’ve got a question for you Are you accepting of a man’s great need to please himself outright Whenever the time is right I don’t like much sports, I don’t like tea I don’t swish or floss between my teeth My stomach condition gives me gas In the morning my room smells like ass I like to runaround in the nude, now are we telling the truth I got so good at doctoring and altering my face To trim my extra weight I probably drink too much but I’m ready to love I haven’t had any luck with online dating, so far In my bed your picture lies I undress it with my eyes And I love you That is I’ll do just what it takes to be above you Can you tell I’m kind of hairy? I used to shave it all off but it gave me rashes where the sun don’t shine And it grew back just fine People say I’m kind of scary Because suppressing my feelings can make me want to knock out someone’s lights When I’m drinkin right I don’t have a degree, I don’t like school I don’t like most things that people do I don’t like to spend money on my food But I could spend the night with you I like to runaround in the nude, now are we telling the truth I got so good at doctoring and altering my face To trim my extra weight I probably drink to much but I’m ready to love I haven’t had any luck with online dating, so far

Advantages 03:59
Advantages (of Getting To Know You) by Dan Grennes Something’s creeping in Slipping through my skin Something’s drifting in to my soul Residing against my will Controlling my motor skills Shifting my focus and my role My heart goes faster When I walk past her There’s Advantages of Getting To Know You I’m just waiting for my cue There’s Advantages of Getting To Know You And I’m out of my league but I’m beginning to see the truth There’s Advantages of loving living my life with you Ignoring our differences Beware what your best friend says I’ll grow on you like your favorite jeans If you could just hang with me Away from these city streets Out where the air is cool and clean I’ll win you over My four leaf clover There’s Advantages of Getting To Know You I’m just waiting for my cue There’s Advantages of Getting To Know You And I’m out of my league but I’m beginning to see the truth There’s Advantages of loving living my life with you

Always In My Mind You’re everything I ever wanted in a lover And you’re so hot to trot with me And you sure have got a lot – of things to offer From your neck down to your seat It’s such a perfect metamorphosis Such a perfect sin I Gotta touch, gotta taste The skin that no one’s in Now I’m back, now you’re forward While I’m chasing, you’re behind Cause you’re always in I’m always in your Always in my mind Whenever you slip onto my – twisted thinking process I can slip right into you You do anything I ask to raise my – spirits Till you wash away my blues Now my ego is inflated beyond the stratosphere The words you let slip off your tongue Are licking in my ear Now I’m back, now you’re forward While I’m chasing, you’re behind Cause you’re always in I’m always in your Always in my mind No Need To Flirt Let’s Throw Some Dirt Now I’m On Top Of The World Denim mini skirts in history Won’t hide your legs from me All of you is on display For all the world to see Now I’m back, now you’re forward While I’m chasing, you’re behind Cause you’re always in I’m always in your Always in my mind

Good Guy 03:24
Good Guy Everyone knows that’s how it goes You catch every woman’s eye when you got That typical bad boy look I’ve gone to the gym to pump up my skin I’ve tried everything but I can’t seem to get Those parts of you that you shook I’m gonna sit with Bradley Pitt and I’ll practice my tough guy stuff But I submit that I should quit, cause I’ll never be tough enough I’m the Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy Even though I never have the balls to say it The Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy Never even know how badly that I want your hand And I’m not so bad I wanna flirt, give you some dirt Wanna show you things that I don’t wanna hide I’ll give anything to try To get up the nerve to handle your curves And there’s much more that you’ll find deep inside Kept in my dirty mind I’m gonna try to tell a lie Gotta make up a hero tale About a guy that almost died till I turned up to save the day I’m the Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy Even though I never have the balls to say it The Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy Never even know how badly that I want your hand Why do you like those men who Treat you like a statue Never pay you any mind I watched you as you shot a glance at that football player Your hungry eyes were hypnotized as you talked to him after class I’m the Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy Even though I never have the balls to say it The Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy Never even know how badly that I want your hand Take the Good Guy with the Bad Guy Cause I’m not so bad

Rise and Fall Severed communications, signal just hit the wall Look for the fluctuations Rise and Fall Enter a wealthy nation, waving and standing tall Victim of deviation Rise and Fall Please don’t tell me, I don’t want to know Towers and markets crashing, business is at a crawl Policy starts to crumble Rise and Fall Nuclear invitations, making a final call The fleecing of mother nature Rise and Fall I can’t listen to the radio Don’t tell me I don’t want to know And the news speaks to loud, gets me down Watching television I walk around, through the crowds in an urban prison Trying to sound fairly proud as I speak to others Feeling as down as the ground Severed communications, signal just hit the wall Look for the fluctuations Rise and Fall I can’t listen to the radio Don’t tell me I don’t want to know I don’t want to know I don’t want to Religion, politics and the media On the TV and the radio Religion, politics and the media
