Geronimo Intro

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Get on with the dum-dum-di-di (get on!)
Jump off, let me know you with me (jump off!)
Everybody get low
Say "whoa-oh-oh-oh, Geronimo"
Don't think twice, rock your body, lose your mind
To the fire that we got right here
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Get on with the dum-dum-di-di
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, Geronimo (oh, oh, oh...)

Pulses

I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah
I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah

I wanna raise pulses
La chica with the most-est
Not in the mood for the average Josephs
Coming unglued, baby this is explosive
I wanna raise pulses

I'm coming for your rhythm, I'm here to wake you up
I wanna be your hero, I wanna shake the fluff
I be on that beating in your chest
Check a stethoscope run a few tests
Something you can measure doesn't make it better
Feeling weighed down did you lose your go-getter

You got a heart that's born with a beat
What's that now, you forget how to breathe?
I wanna get that thing runnin'

I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah
I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah

Oh I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure, I'mma make sure
I'mma make sure that you feel alive

I wanna raise pulses
La chica with the most-est
Not in the mood for the average Josephs
Coming unglued, baby this is explosive
I wanna raise pulses

They run you through the system, they blowing you the smoke
They try to suffocate, but think before you choke
You control the beating in your chest
You resuscitate now, cardiac arrest
World you can have it, take a couple planets
Trade up your half for the whole pomegranate

You got a heart that's born with a beat
What's that now, you forget how to breathe?
I wanna get the thing runnin'

I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah
I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah

Oh I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure, I'mma make sure
I'mma make sure that you feel alive

I wanna raise pulses
La chica with the most-est
Not in the mood for the average Josephs
Coming unglued, baby this is explosive
I wanna raise pulses

I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure, I'mma make sure
I'mma make sure that you feel alive

I wanna raise pulses
La chica with the most-est
Not in the mood for the average Josephs
Coming unglued, baby this is explosive
I wanna raise pulses [x2]

Acapella

[Chorus:]
Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
Thought you were the perfect lover
All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Now you gotta find another
Now you're talkin' crazy, sayin' that you made me
Like I was your Cinderella
You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
I'mma do it acapella, yeah [2x]

[Verse 1:]
Once upon a time, I met the perfect guy
He had that Colgate smile, he had that suit & tie
Mama always said, "Get a rich boyfriend,
You don't gotta love 'em, girl, you can pretend."
You bet I totes believed her, yeah, every word she said
Thought he was gluten-free, but all that I got was bread
Mama always said, "Nice guys finish last.
Beat him at his own game, honey, take the cash."

[Pre-chorus:]
Ooh, and what a lucky girl you will be
But no, he didn't do jack for me
I want a bean with the beanstalk
And if the magic ain't right, time to walk

[Chorus:]
Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
Thought you were the perfect lover
All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Now you gotta find another
Now you're talkin' crazy sayin' that you made me
Like I was your Cinderella
You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
I'mma do it acapella, yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'mma do it acapella, yeah

[Verse 2:]
Out on our first date, he took me gourmet
We hit that Olive Garden, my Little Italy
Daddy always said, "Let the gentleman pay.
Never ever go Dutch at the buffet."
I saw his bad intention, he didn't wanna talk
He put the saucy on it (Oops!) time to check my watch
Daddy always said, "Money can't buy class.
You don't wanna get stuck takin' out trash."

[Pre-chorus:]
Ooh, and yeah I guess it wasn't meant to be
Because he didn't do jack for me
I want a bean with the beanstalk
And if the magic ain't right, time to walk

[Chorus:]
Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
Thought you were the perfect lover
All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Now you gotta find another
Now you're talkin' crazy sayin' that you made me
Like I was your Cinderella
You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
I'mma do it acapella

[Bridge:]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'mma do it acapella
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me do it in falsetto
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Never mind, bring the beat back

[Chorus:]
Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
Thought you were the perfect lover
All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Now you gotta find another
Now you're talkin' crazy sayin' that you made me
Like I was your Cinderella
You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
I'mma do it acapella
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'mma do it acapella, yeah

I Want It All

The way that you're moving
You know what you're doing
I want you to prove that I'm right about you
Do it, hey, admit it
Ooh, sing it

Oh, I got the feeling down deep inside
Got the feeling I can't deny
Got the feeling that makes me high
Only thing is baby, I want it all
I want it all

All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all

All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all

You get me excited
But I keep it private
My world is divided without you
It won't be the same, can't take it
Ooh, sing it

Oh, I got the feeling down deep inside
Got the feeling I can't deny
Got the feeling that makes me high
Only thing is baby, I want it all
I want it all

All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all

All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all

Got the feeling down deep inside
Got the feeling I can't deny
Got the feeling that makes me high
Only thing is baby, I want it all
I want it all

All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all

All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all

Night Like This

Call all your homies up, tell 'em to bring a cup
We 'bout to turn it, 'bout to burn it, 'bout to screw it up
You got no car to drive, you better hitch a ride
It's going down, it's going round, it's getting out of line

Whatever happens here is gonna disappear
All of your problems gonna drown 'em in the Belvedere
Nobody's keeping track how many drinks you had
So it's okay to let go

Turn all of the lights down
And rock your body to the beat like this
We been going hard for a while now
And we been waiting for a night like this
That makes you go, oh oh
Rock your body like, oh oh, rock your body
Turn all of the lights down
Cause we been waiting for a night like this

I got a little buzz, hope they don't call the fuzz
This party's gonna be the craziest there ever was
So watch me do my dance, my liquid confidence
Has got me bumping, got me jumping out my party pants

Whatever happens here is gonna disappear
All of your problems gonna drown 'em in the Belvedere
Nobody's keeping track how many drinks you had
So it's okay to let go

Turn all of the lights down
And rock your body to the beat like this
We been going hard for a while now
And we been waiting for a night like this
That makes you go, oh oh
Rock your body like, oh oh, rock your body
Turn all of the lights down
Cause we been waiting for a night like this, yeah

A night like this
A night like this
A night like this

Take to the street, take my keys
Think I'm gonna need that D.D.
Don't judge, that's mean
This right here is my therapy
I never take bleep from any man
Never grew up I'm Peter Pan
Never land sleep no tryptophan
Get zzz's when I die understand?

Turn all of the lights down
And rock your body to the beat like this
We been going hard for a while now
And we been waiting for a night like this
That makes you go, oh oh
Rock your body like, oh oh, rock your body
Turn all of the lights down
Cause we been waiting for a night like this...

Neon Love

Dropped the call, drop my phone
All alone I'm with you
Had enough, sobered up
Nothing left to cling to

Funny how the stars always seem to shine
Shine the brightest right before they fall
Funny how your touch used to burn me up
Now I'm not feeling anything at all

I never noticed how hot it is under these lights
This neon love is burning too bright
Baby, sometimes it's hard enough just getting by
This neon love is making us blind
Funny how the lows overshine the highs
If we fade at least we know we tried
Should have known from start of it, baby don't cry
This neon love is destined to die

Salty lips, drunken kiss
Used to think I need this
Had the moon, but wanted you
It'll all be done soon

Funny how the stars always seem to shine
Shine the brightest right before they fall
Funny how your touch used to burn me up
Now I'm not feeling anything at all

I never noticed how hot it is under these lights
This neon love is burning too bright
Baby, sometimes it's hard enough just getting by
This neon love is making us blind
Funny how the lows overshine the highs
If we fade at least we know we tried
Should have known from start of it, baby don't cry
This neon love is destined to die

What's the use tell the truth
I'll be fine without you

I never noticed how hot it is under these lights
This neon love is burning too bright
Baby, sometimes it's hard enough just getting by
This neon love is making us blind
Funny how the lows overshine the highs
If we fade at least we know we tried
Should have known from start of it, baby don't cry
This neon love is destined to die

Drifter

If the world can be my oyster
Then it's high time to explore
I'll be soaking up my problems
As I leave them at the shore
And the wind set sail to nowhere
Cause I don't care where it blows
See as long as I'm a drifter
I don't worry anymore

Million dollar boat, million dollar breeze
Steer clear to the top of the world with ease
Diddy money dirty, chillin' cross seas
No need for thank you I do what I please

I'm a drifter, yeah
No I don't know where to be
I'm a drifter, yeah
No it really ain't much to see
Around and around, feet off the ground
Never got nothing holding me
Cause I'm a drifter, yeah
And this is all I'll ever need

When you think that I'll be staying
I'm always one foot out the door
See my vacancy will hurt you
Throw my picture on the floor
But I'm just too loose to settle
Yeah I'm always wanting more
Guess as long as I'm a drifter
Hope I wind up on your shore

Smooth operator, real earth shaker
It's my fault-zone again splitting the heart acre
Tell me that you miss me, blame me for the cracks
But I can fill them in whenever I come back

Watch me drift like Tokyo
Makin' that ching like the money low
It's a ten-to-one split that's my ratio
Cause I spit it like a man, no Pinocchio
And I don't really care if you call me corny
Guess you don't know the kinda girls from NE
Husker in the game, you can call me Herbie

Tidal Wave

When dreams can't wait a flood of fate
Is breaking over all that we know
I know a place to go escape
But lately I get lost on the road

And I don't really know just how to say it
We speak all day and never talk
Cause you and me were never complicated
So how'd we end up on the rocks

The tidal wave is forcing us to swim at a distance
So our love is washing away
With all the push and pull we're caught up in
Can we brave the tidal wave

Can we brave the tidal wave
Can we brave the tidal wave
Can we brave the tidal wave
Can we brave the tidal wave

I throw a line and every time
I'm freaking out and sinking inside
I hope we find a ground that's high
Just know my love will never subside

And I don't really know just how to say it
We speak all day and never talk
Cause you and me were never complicated
So how'd we end up on the rocks

The tidal wave is forcing us to swim at a distance
So our love is washing away
With all the push and pull we're caught up in
Can we brave the tidal wave

Can we brave the tidal wave
Can we brave the tidal wave
Can we brave the tidal wave
Can we brave

The tidal wave is forcing us to swim at a distance
So our love is washing away
With all the push and pull we're caught up in
Can we brave the tidal wave

Can we brave the tidal wave
Can we brave the tidal wave
Can we brave the tidal wave
Can we brave the tidal wave

Gasoline

Girl you can't deny it, the sparks are flying
And I know just what we could do
A little closer, I wanna know you
So we can leave behind the crew

Now let's get together and light up the dark
Before the night is through

We gettin' melted me and you

You bring the match, I'll bring the gasoline
Turn out the lights, baby let me see
We get the fire so hot, we can burn it up
You know what I mean
You bring the match, I'll bring the gasoline

We can heat it up, up, up, up
We can heat it up, up, up, up

Tell me what you're drinking, gimme a sip and
Don't leave me out here in the cold
Nobody's watching, so no more talking
Stop, drop, and we can roll

So let's get together and light up the dark
Before the night is through
Know what you're thinking, so let me bring it
We gettin' melted me and you

You bring the match, I'll bring the gasoline

We can heat it up, up, up, up

Puppet

I just wanna get you near me
Can't you see that you'll be in good hands
I can lift you off of your feet
I just wanna keep it rolling
I'm not trying to be controlling

You can play a part in my show
Do some entertaining meet my needs
Curtain closing making shadows
Promise I'll be nice Geppetto
Puppeteering in stilettos

Don't you get the feeling that you're tangled up
I can pull a string until it's good enough
But don't you love it, love it
When you're my puppet, puppet
Don't you get the feeling that you're tangled up
I can pull a string until it's good enough
But don't you love it, love it
When you're my puppet, puppet

You know that I'm not here tell you
All you can and cannot do
But you make it way too easy
I can get what I've been wanting
Maintenance is almost nothing

Don't gotta be so hard to handle
Why you puttin' all the games on me
No I don't wanna do it Rambo
But you know I'll do whatever
Cut you off the first offender

Don't you get the feeling that you're tangled up
I can pull a string until it's good enough
But don't you love it, love it
When you're my puppet, puppet
Don't you get the feeling that you're tangled up
I can pull a string until it's good enough
But don't you love it, love it
When you're my puppet, puppet

Girl I wanna break free but I can't get out
You know that you got me, you got me right now
Girl I wanna break free but I can't get out
You know that you got me, you got me right now

Don't you get the feeling that you're tangled up
I can pull a string until it's good enough
But don't you love it, love it
When you're my puppet, puppet
Don't you get the feeling that you're tangled up
I can pull a string until it's good enough
But don't you love it, love it
When you're my puppet, puppet

Try Me On

If you wanna try me on
Don't think we're together
I change like the weather
If you wanna try me on
I wouldn't admit it
Even if we fitted
Oh you got my attention
If you wanna try me on
Stop the conversating
Don't you keep me waiting

I admit it, you did it
You got me feelin' something kind of vicious, delicious
But boy I promise I won't do your dishes
Honey write that down, now take a picture
You see me now, independent bitch

I be comin' at you like a ragin' bull
You better be gunnin' with a cannon full
I don't wanna hear you say a thing at all
Unless you're sayin' baby do you want some more

Hold up girl I like the way you talk
We can do it like you want
We can do it like you want

If you wanna try me on
Don't think we're together
I change like the weather
If you wanna try me on
I wouldn't admit it
Even if we fitted
Oh you got my attention
If you wanna try me on
Stop the conversating
Don't you keep me waiting

I'm the sickest, malicious
I tear you up in pieces make you wishes, you didn't
Fall so deep in love the very second
That I let you taste my sugar coated waste
You gonna be sayin' hey, I want some cavities

I be comin' at you like a ragin' bull
You better be gunnin' with a cannon full
I don't wanna hear you say a thing at all
Unless you're sayin' baby do you want some more

Hold up girl I like the way you talk
We can do it like you want
We can do it like you want

If you wanna try me on
Don't think we're together
I change like the weather

Even if we fitted
Oh you got my attention
If you wanna try me on
Stop the conversating
Don't you keep me waiting

If you want to try me on, you better be careful baby
If you get too carried on, you could fall in love [x2]

If you wanna try me on
Don't think we're together
I change like the weather
If you wanna try me on
I wouldn't admit it
Even if we fitted
Oh you got my attention
If you wanna try me on
Stop the conversating
Don't you keep me waiting

What's In It For Me

Doesn't matter how you sell me
I am just another number
Even when it's not for money
Use me like a cash register
You fool me once fool me twice, but the ends don't meet
Do you really think I'm dumb, dumb
I wanna know how you figure

What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff

Never really had to play this
Feeling out my alter ego
Hustling to your agenda
No gracias, mi amigo
You fool me once fool me twice, but the ends don't meet
Do you really think I'm dumb, dumb
Watch me go Evel Knievel

What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff

Every time you call up, I'mma put my wall up
Always a dilemma with the drama that you drum up
Even the bologna, part of your persona
Traded me a dollar for a floor of Smithsoneon
Undecided of whether you got it down yet
Undivided attention to how your brow sweats
How can I trust you, I'll be losing all bets
It's gamble, I don't wanna pull yet
Paying me in jelly, beans in the belly
When you get nervous I can tell by the smelly
Do me Blue Bonnet, butter me up on it
You can toast love notes, I can burn sonnets
It's apparent I needed to say no
Throw a karat of diamonds on the floor
How can I trust you, all you want is more
I gotta bust you, this means war

You come around here flipping your tricks
I'm letting down my wall my bricks
Least you can do is riddle me this
What's in it for me?

What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
