Beth Ditto EP Lyrics
1.I Wrote The Book

Lyricist:Beth DittoJames FordJas Shaw
Writer(s):Beth DittoJames FordJas Shaw

I put you up, I treat you well
Tell you secrets I never tell
We pretend, it's all ok
But there's one thing we never say
The world is full of good intentions
Paradise is hard to find
Say they love you but fail to mention
Who they were with again last night
Revenge, regret, I wrote the book
Forgive, forget, I wrote the book
Keeping secrets, I wrote the book on it, don't test me

Heartbreak and then some, tell me where is a friend when you
need one
Before you take a second look, remember I know every trick in
the book

It never stops around the clock
When I'm there, you speak so soft
The runaround will wear you out
You break it off, I'll break you down
The world is full of good intentions
Paradise is full of lies
Tell you they love you but fail to mention
Who they were with again last night

Cheating, sneaking, I wrote the book
Begging, pleading, I wrote the book
Lying, crying, I wrote the book on it, don't test me

Heartbreak and then some, tell me where is a friend when you
need one
Before you take a second look, remember I know every trick in
the book

Heartbreak and then some, tell me where is a friend when you
need one
Before you take a second look, remember I know every trick in
the book

I wrote the book, I wrote the book, I wrote the book on it,
don't test me
I wrote the book on it, don't test me now
I wrote the book on it


2.Good Night Good Morning

Lyricist:Beth DittoJames FordJas Shaw
Writer(s):Beth DittoJames FordJas Shaw

Are you listening very carefully
Close your eyes and come with me
To go where the evening comes undone
Late at night in the city streets
I feel the need to see the streets
I go where you'll always find someone yeah

Is it good night, is it good morning
Is this real life, are you performing
You're like a vision I can't control
We're in a movie I'm playing a role

I can be by myself sometimes
But I won't be by myself tonight

The sun comes out and suddenly
Something's happening inside of me
I wanna now where the silence has come from

Is it good night, is it good morning
Is this real life, are you performing
You're like a vision I can't control
We're in a movie I'm playing a role

I can be by myself sometimes
But I won't be by myself tonight

I can be by myself sometimes
But I won't be by myself tonight

Oh no

Good night, good morning
Good night, good morning
Good night, good morning


3.Open Heart Surgery

Lyricist:Beth DittoJames FordJas Shaw
Writer(s):Beth DittoJames FordJas Shaw

I'll open up if you make an incision
I'll do right by you
All I ask is for your care and precision
And maybe I could pull through
You could have saved me if you'd only known better
But you're so carelessly
Took me apart and put me back together
Open heart surgery

I was fine at first, now I assume the worst
When I could overhear
The repercussions of a sad discussion
Another girl in tears
I could have saved her if I'd only known better
But you're so carelessly
Took her apart and put her back together
Open heart surgery

If girls like you and girls like me
Are really a dime a dozen
Then why are we in such a high demand
My mother says it's just a shame
You don't come around too often
Even she's begun to understand

Just let me know
What you are thinking
I'll find a way to get along somehow
Just let me go
Don't leave me hanging
Please don't fail me now
Just take it slow
Don't let me suffer
I'm on a verge of an emergency
But final blow
Will make me tougher
Until then you will always be a danger to me

We should have listened to our intuition
But we knew all too well
In addition to our suspicion
Only time could tell
With friends like you I get confused
Who needs enemies?
We've been here too many times before
Open heart surgery

If girls like you and girls like me
Are really a dime a dozen
Then why are we in such a high demand
My mother says it's just a shame
You don't come around too often
Even she's begun to understand

Just let me know
What you are thinking
I'll find a way to get along somehow
Just let me go
Don't leave me hanging
Oh please don't fail me now
Just take it slow
Don't let me suffer
I'm on a verge of an emergency
But final blow
Will make me tougher
Until then you will always be a danger to me
A danger to me
A danger to me
A danger to me
A danger to me


4.Do You Need Someone

Lyricist:Beth DittoJames FordJas Shaw
Writer(s):Beth DittoJames FordJas Shaw

She walks around you like she's better than everybody
You walk around looking so out of place
And my memory this day, that memory haunts me
You really think that you are fooling everybody
Should I give in, should I give up on a chase
It's not there, au contraire
But do what makes you happy

Do you need someone
Do you need someone to talk to
Do you need someone
Someone you can run to
Are you all alone
Do you need someone to talk to
Do you need someone
Someone you can run to
Are you all alone

She's got you locked on, baby it ain't even funny
You walk around like you've seen bad days
With that look on your face
And that's what really kills me
I bite my tongue, my feeling's under lock and key
She bats her eyes as people fallin' at her knees
Don't care or compare
Just do what makes you happy

Do you need someone
Do you need someone to talk to
Do you need someone
Someone you can run to
Are you all alone
Do you need someone to talk to
Do you need someone
Someone you can run to
Are you all alone

Let me be the one, let me be the one
(The one you count on)
Let me be the one, let me be the one
(The one you count on)
Let me be the one, let me be the one
