High Hat

Boy George High Hat Lyrics
1.Don't Cry

You say that you're misunderstood
But you like it that way
Then you say you're lonely
Well that's the price you pay

And i don't think i love you
That's the cruellest game we play
But i love you that way

You're a perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're a perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?

You feel a little twisted
You feel a little pain
You feel a little hateful
Don't worry, you'll feel that way again

Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me

You say that you're not beautiful
But you are in my eyes
You say my love's too heavy
Well that comes as no surprise

You're a perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're a perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?

You feel a little twisted
And you feel a little pain
You feel a little hateful
Don't worry, you'll fall in love again

Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me

It's already over
There's nothing to say
It's already over
But you need love to show you your way

Don't cry for me
Don't you cry
Don't cry, don't cry for me

You're the perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're the perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?

You feel a little pain
Don't worry, you'll fall in love again

Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me


2.Don't Take My Mind On A Trip

I never thought you'd feel this way
The way you feel about me
I just wanna hold you tight
Real tight close to me

And the things you used to say
And the things you used to do
I let it go, cause
I love you so

And the things never go my way
Why do you always have to play
With my feelings
Cause

Oh yeah it's not the way we planned it

Don't take my mind on a trip
Cause to play me for a fool
You don't love me that ain't cool
No, no

Don't take my mind on a trip
Don't take my love for granted
Cause that's not the way
We planned it

Always going out at night
Playing games on me
Telling me all those lies
Cause you been seen with another guy

Everybody makes mistakes
Don't you know that it's ok
I still love you so
I just can't let you go

And it's not that i'm a fool
I'm just so in love with you
I can't stand the blues
Cause

Oh yeah it's not the way we planned it
Don't take my mind... don't take me for a fool

Don't take my mind on a trip
Cause to play me for a fool
You don't love me that ain't cool
No, no

Don't take my mind on a trip
Don't take my love for granted
Cause that's not the way
We planned it

It's not the way we planned it
That's not the way
Don't take my mind on a trip
Trip, trip, trip, trip

Don't take my mind on a trip
Cause to play me for a fool
You don't love me that ain't cool
No, no

Don't take my mind on a trip
Don't take my love for granted
Cause that's not the way
We planned it


3.Girl With Combination Skin

Her mother called her angel
So imagine her surprise
When she walked into the party
With a black boy by her side

She said you don't understand me
I can never win
Sometimes i get angry
I'm the girl with combination skin

Her mother called her angel
So imagine her surprise
When she walked out of the bedroom
With a black boy in her eyes

She said you don't understand me
I can never win
Sometimes i get angry
I'm the girl with combination skin

Her mother called her angel
So imagine her surprise
When she walked into the party
With a black boy by her side

She said you don't understand me
I can never win
Sometimes i get angry
I'm the girl with combination skin

I'm the girl with combination skin
I'm the girl with combination skin


4.I'm Not Sleeping Anymore

Why do you make it hard to love you
You know sometimes it's hard to care
If you just give me time
Let me free up my mind i'll be there

You want to be the perfect lover, i know you do
But talk is cheap why does it show
I know one day you're gonna find
That all lovers, they're blind
You know that they are

But i'm not sleeping anymore
I'm not sleeping anymore

You see i woke up to find
You were still on my mind
You know that you are
Yes you know that you are

You say that you need me
Give me time
You know that you'll always
Always be mine

Cause i woke up to find
You were still on my mind
You know that you are
Yes you know that you are

But i'm not sleeping anymore
I'm not sleeping anymore

You know one day you're gonna find
That all lovers, they're blind
You know that they are
You know that you are

I'm not sleeping anymore

6.Something Strange Called Love

Oh you slide so good
But just take your time
Drink the blood of fools
I've got to make you mine
Speak in devils tongue
Fake the spoken word
Play with silence now
Well that's what i've heard

I've felt this love i felt this pain
I felt this heartache too

Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me

Oh you slide so good
With your bones so fair
You've got the universe
Reclining in your hair
Say my love is good
Say we're not too old
I call you jaguar
If i may be so bold

I've felt this love i felt this pain
I felt this heartache too
I came so close but no one knows
The love i felt for you

Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me

They say that we're much too young
To fall in love
Well, what do they know?
They say that our kind of love
Just ain't enough
Well what do they know?

Something strange called love

Oh you slide so good
But just take your time
Drink the blood of fools
I've got to make you mine
Speak in devils tongue
Fake the spoken word
Play with silence now
Well that's what i've heard

I've felt this love i felt this pain
I felt this heartache too
I came so close but no one knows
The love i felt for you

Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me (repeat)


7.Whether They Like It Or Not

Everybody sing!
Oh yeah baby
1, 2, 3, oh yeah!
Oh, oh yeah

I'm a total experience
This is how i play
I'm not one of those people
With nothing much to say

I'm here to get busy
I'm here to throw down
I'm here to tell you that
The boy is back in town

I want to tell you something that you don't know
Don't know about me
They are much too blind to ever know the truth
Why can't they see

Everybody sing!

I don't care what people say
I don't care what people do
I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not

I don't care what people say
I don't care what people know
I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not

Satisfaction guaranteed
That's the way to go
Ain't no use in telling you
What they don't need to know

Some people are chilling
Some people are fly
That is what i'm telling you
Just don't believe the hype

Oh, i want to tell you something that you don't know
Don't know about me
Oh, they are much too blind to ever know the truth
Why can't they see

I don't care what people say
I don't care what people do
I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not

I don't care what people say
I don't care what people know
I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not

I can do what i want to do
Everybody sing

I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not
I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not

I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not
I can do what i want to do
I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not

I can do what i want to do
I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not
I can do what i want to do
I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not

Whether they like it... oh yeah
Whether they like it...

I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not

I don't care what people say
I don't care what people do
I can do what i want to do
Whether they like it or not


8.Whisper

You bet that i cannot resist it
When you move inside my life
Touching souls i feel restricted
And i know that it's not wise
I can tell so much is changing
But i'm blinded by desire
Won't some god come down from heaven
And set me free, set me on fire

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid and much too uptight

When you say that it's forever
I believe it every time
But out of reach, that ain't together
I need someone to be mine
I'm just shouting at the devil
And my kind of love is greed
But don't show too much affection
Cause i'm willing, yeah
I'm willing to let you bleed

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid to put up a fight

Don't believe that you're invincible
To fall in love
And you know that love won't save you
Cause those kind of feelings
You know they never do
They never do

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid and much too uptight

I'm just walking alone
You know i'm just walking

I'm just shouting at the devil
And my kind of love is greed
Don't you show too much affection
Cause i'm willing, i'm willing to let you bleed

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
I'm too afraid to put up a fight

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
I'm not lonely i'm not afraid
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone...


9.You Are My Heroin

It's great to be young

Didn't anyone tell you
That life was a lousy substitute
You're not packing angels now
In your undertaker's suit
It's funky down in the gutter
That's what all the bitches say
I'll just call it a celebration
If the devil walks my way

You are my heroin
You are my heroin

Welcome into the garden sarah
Come see how my roses die
We were looking for heaven
Couldn't bear to pass you by
There are stories of bad luck, yeah
But they come to bless us all
If it's true that you doubt it
Go ask alice when she's ten feet tall

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You are my heroin

I was talking to sweet thing
She said hang your horses high
There are jokers and tokers
Here's some pills you ought to try
Some say it's a vacation
Some say i will never die
God won't stop at my station
Hear all the mothers cry

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You are my heroin

You keep saying kick it, quit it
Lord but did you ever try.
To turn your sick soul inside out
So that the world can watch you die
Home is where i live inside
My home is filled with pain
And it might not be such a bad idea
If i never went home again

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You are my heroin

There are stories of bad luck, yeah
But they come to bless us all
If it's true that you doubt it
Go ask alice when she's ten feet tall

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You know that it's true


10.You Found Another Guy

Won't you tell me why?
You found another guy, tell me why
You found another guy

In the beginning things were just fine
I was so romantic, i thought that you were mine
I saw so happy, now i'm depressed
I'm so tired of this loneliness

You packed your bags, then you went away
I haven't seen you since that cold, cold day!
I gotta have you back no matter what it takes
So tell me why, you found another guy.

Tell me why
You found another guy
Yell me why
You didn't want me

I've been walkin around, things ain't the same
Since you been gone i'm feelin' this pain
In my heart, it's so strong so please come home
I've been waiting for you all night long

You packed your bags, then you went away
I haven't seen you since that cold, cold day!
I gotta have you back no matter what it takes
So tell me why, you found another guy.

Tell me why
You found another guy
Yell me why
