All About That Bass

Because you know I'm all about that bass,…

Yeah it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two But I can shake it, shake it like I'm supposed to do

'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase All the right junk in all the right places

I see the magazines working that Photoshop

We know that shit ain't real Come on now, make it stop

If you got beauty beauty just raise 'em up 'Cause every inch of you is perfect

From the bottom to the top

Yeah, my momma she told me don't worry about your size She says, boys they like a little more booty to hold at night

You know I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll, So, if that's what's you're into

Then go ahead and move along

Because you know I'm all about that bass,…

I'm bringing booty back Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches Hey

No, I'm just playing I know you think you're fat, But I'm here to tell you that,

Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top

Yeah, my momma she told me don't worry about your size She says, boys they like a little more booty to hold at night

You know I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll, So, if that's what's you're into

Then go ahead and move along

Because you know I'm all about that bass,…

Black Velvet

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high

Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave White lightning, bound to drive you wild

Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl "Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle

The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Every word of every song that he sang was for you In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could

You do?

Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please If you please, if you please, if you please

Dreaming

When I met you in the restaurant You could tell I was no debutante You asked me what's my pleasure

A movie or a measure? I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming

Dreaming is free I don't want to live on charity Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?

Reel to reel is living rarity People stop and stare at me We just walk on by - we just keep

on dreaming Feet feet, walking a two mile

Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile I never met him, I'll never forget him

Dream dream, even for a little while Dream dream, filling up an idle hour

Fade away, radiate

I sit by and watch the river flow I sit by and watch the traffic go

Imagine something of your very own Something you can have and hold

I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming

Dreaming is free Dreaming

Dreaming is free Dreaming

Dreaming is free

Next To Me

You won’t find him drinking at the table Rolling dice or staying out ’til three

You won’t ever find him be unfaithful You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

You won’t find him tryna chase the devil For money, fame, for power, out of greed You won’t ever find him where the rest go

You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

Next to me – ooh hooo Next to me – ooh hooo Next to me – ooh hooo

You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

When the money’s spent and all my friends have vanished And I can’t seem to find no help or love for free

I know there’s no need for me to panic Cause I’ll find him, I’ll find him next to me

When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing

And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling

I will find him, I’ll find him next to me

Next to me – ooh hooo Next to me – ooh hooo Next to me – ooh hooo

I will find him, I’ll find him next to me

When the end has come and buildings falling down fast When we’ve spoilt the land and dried up all the sea

When everyone has lost their heads around us You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

Next to me – ooh hooo Next to me – ooh hooo Next to me – ooh hooo

You will find him, you’ll find him next to me X2

Suddenly I See

Her face is a map of the world Is a map of the world

You can see she's a beautiful girl She's a beautiful girl

It makes you calm She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see…

I feel like walking the world

Like walking the world You can hear she's a beautiful girl

She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember

What you heard She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see…

I can see her eyes looking from the page of a magazine She makes me feel like I could be a tower
