Now That's

"~khj los angeles!~ portions of the day's programming are reproduced by means of electrical transcriptions or tape recordings."

You can hear the music on the am radio

The vcr and the dvd
There wasn't none of that crap back in 1970
We didn't know about a world wide web
It was a whole different game being played back when i was a kid

Wanna get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walkin' in style with a portable cd player
No, you would listen to the music on the am radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a am radio

Flashback, '72
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hangin' out with nothing to do
Sometmes we'd go drivin' around
In my sister's pinto
Cruisin' with the windows rolled down
We'd listen to the radio station
We were too damn cool to buy the eight track tapes
There wasn't any good time to want to be inside
My mama wanna watch that tv all goddamn night

I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the am radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a am radio
I can still hear mama say

Ooh hey, yeah

Hush, just stop
There's nothing you can do or say, baby
I've had enough
I'm not your property as from today, baby
You might think that i won't make it on my own
But now i'm

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know i'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See china right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know i'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

Sometimes i feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And i cant help but ask myself how much i'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
Lately i'm beginning to find that i should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, i'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, i'll be there, i'll be there
So if i decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will i choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
That everyone else get around
Lately, i'm beginning to find that when i drive myself, my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, i'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, i'll be there, i'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, i'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, i'll be there, i'll be there

Hmm, yeah, yeah
Baby, please try to forgive me
Stay here don't put out the glow
Hold me now don't bother if every minute it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man that i've become, oh yeah

Lookin' back on the things i've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Send in this beautiful loneliness that's tragical
So help me i can't win this war, oh no
Touch me now don't bother if every second it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man i've become

Lookin' back on the things i've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

I'm here with my confession
Got nothing to hide no more
I don't know where to start
But to show you the shape of my heart

I'm lookin' back on things i've done
I never wanna play the same old part
I'll keep you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Lookin' back on the things i've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Lookin' back on the things i've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Show you the shape of my heart

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Your love for me came as a waterfall
Flowing inside me like never before
Your love for me, something i didn't see
But baby, i know better now
When you walked in the room that very night
A special feeling just burst inside
It was only you, nobody else
But baby, i know better now

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if i (if i)
Didn't tell you this tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And now you're back inside my house again
I'm trying deeply to explain
'cos baby, i wanna get it on
And baby, you're the one for me (woah, woah, woah)
And now that i have got you all alone
After all this talking on the phone
I should be strong
There's nothing wrong
I'll tell you this is where you belong (where you belong)

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if i (if i)
Didn't tell you this tonight
Don't wanna love you if you don't love me (if you don't love me)
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if i (if i)
Didn't tell you this tonight

It was just something in your eyes
That made me realise
Now i hear voices deep inside
Telling me, telling me it's you and i

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if i (if i)
Didn't tell you this tonight
Don't wanna love you if you don't love me (if you don't love me)
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if i (if i)
Didn't tell you this tonight

The kisses of the sun - were sweet i didn't blink
I let it in my eyes - like an exotic dream
The radio playing songs - that i have never heard
I don't know what to say - oh not another word

Chorus:

Just - la la la la la

I'm getting a little tired
Of your broken promises, promises
Lookin' at your pager
Seein' different numbers, numbers
Call you on your cell
You're hangin' with the fellas, fellas
Hangin' with my girls
You always gettin' jealous, jealous

I was with you when
You didn't have no dollas, no dollas
Hangin' at the crib
Chillin' with your momma, your momma
Never fronted you
Never brought the drama, the drama
Now you flip the script
Playa, please

No, i'm not the one
(say it again, say it again, oh)
No, i'm not the one
(you do or you don't)

1 - you do or you don't, don't
You will or you won't, won't
No more
No more, baby i'ma do right

You can or you can't, can't
Be a man, be a man, man
No more
No more, baby i'ma do right

You treat me like a lady
When you open doors, doors
But then you wanna front
When you're with your boys, your boys
How you gonna play me
When i bought your clothes, your clothes
The ones that you be wearin'
When you with your hoes, your hoes

I know you never thought
That i would have the nerve, the nerve
Think about it more
Since you at the curb, the curb
Blowin' up my pager
Say you want a chance, a chance
Listen when i say
Playa, please

Repeat 1

2 - no, i'm not the one
(baby, i'ma do right, do right)
No, i'm not the one
(baby, i'ma do right, do right)

Repeat 2

I just wanna know
What happened to our love
We used to be best friends
Where did it go wrong
When you gonna see
How good it is with me
I'm tired and i'm through
With all your "listen baby"

[rap]
Listen what, playa chill now
Tell me how you gon' cite me when i found out
Honey gotta break it down, down
I said it ain't no thing
Girl, what's my name?
Keelay, keelay
Look me in the face and tell me
What the dealie, dealie
Oh, you wanna go shade now
But i'm paid now, i know that you hate that
Oh, you got the one now, you warm now
Cuz you thought you'd come right back, save that
You could do whatever to me, and be together with me
Like you do better than me (you do or you don't)
No more, never for me

Repeat 1

Repeat 2
Repeat 2

No, i'm not the one
(say it again, s-say it, say it again)
No, i'm not the one
(say it again, s-say it, say it again)

No, i'm not the one
(i could do bad all by myself)
No, i'm not the one
(i'm not the one, the one)

Repeat 1 to fade

1 - you think you gotta keep me iced
You don't
You think i'm gonna spend your cash
I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think i wanna drive your benz
I don't
If i wanna floss i got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing

When you rolled up in the escalade
Saw that truck you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pulling up your sleeve so i could see the rolley bling
Saw you later in the corner booth
Raising up a toast so i would notice you
But your heart's a mess
Think you outta know
Doesn't matter if you're balling out of control

2 - all that matter's is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things i need
That money can't buy yeah

Repeat 1

When i took a chance
Thought you'd understand
Baby credit cards aren't romance
So you're tryna buy what's already yours
What i need from is not available in stores
Seen a side of you that i really feel
Doing way too much, never keep it real
If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road
Now i'm leaving, where's my keys?
I've got to go

Repeat 2

Repeat 1

A thing, a thing, a thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You think the money that you make
Can substitute the time you take
Take the keys here to my heart
Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart
I think you need to take some time
To show me that your love is true
There's more than dollar signs in you
Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart

Repeat 1 till end

(feat. ricardo ducent)

(yo man) yo
(open up man) what do you want man?
(my girl just caught me) you let her catch you?
(i don't know how i let this happen) with who?
(the girl next door, you know?) man...
(i don't know what to do) say it wasn't you
(alright)

Honey came in and she caught me red handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Bangin on the bathroom floor
How could i forget that i had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

How you can grant the woman access to your villa
Trespasser and a witness while you cling to your pillow
You better watch your back before she turn into a killer
Best for you and the situation not to call the beaner
To be a true player you have to know how to play
If she say you're not, convince her say you're gay
Never admit to a word when she say makes a claim
And you tell her baby no way

But she caught me on the counter
(it wasn't me)
Saw me bangin on the sofa
(it wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower
(it wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera
(it wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder
(it wasn't me)
Heard the words that i told her
(it wasn't me)
Heard the screams getting louder
(it wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Bangin on the bathroom floor
I had tried to keep her from what
She was about to see
Why should she believe me when i
Told her it wasn't me

Make sure she knows it's not you and lead her on da right prefix
Whenever you should see her make da giggolo flex
As funny as it be by you, it not that complex
Seein is believin so you better change your specs
You know she not gonna be worrying bout things from the past
Hardly recollecting and then she'll go to noontime mass
Wait for your answer: go over there
But if she pack a gun you know you better run fast

But she caught me on the counter
(it wasn't me)
Saw me banging on the sofa
(it wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower
(it wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera
(it wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder
(it wasn't me)
Heard the words that i told her
(it wasn't me)
Heard the screams getting louder
(it wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over

Honey came in and she caught me red handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could i forget that i had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

Gonna tell her that i'm sorry
For the pain that i've caused
I've been listenin to your reasonin
It makes no sense at all
We should tell her that i'm sorry
For the pain that i've caused
You may think that you're a player
But you're completely lost
That's why i sing

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could i forget that i had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me
