Tug Of War

Carly Rae Jepsen Tug Of War Lyrics
1.Bucket

(Theres a hole in your bucket)

Suns out we got a beach day
Forget yourself say why don't we people watch?
Kids are playin' 'round in the sand

(Little boy crying)
Oh no, he's got some troubles
Got us laughing as he throws his shovel
Nothings really going as planned

I don't know how we're going to build a castle now
Do you want to start again somehow?
I'll stay until the sun comes down, down down

(Are you smiling?)
Look over my shoulder
See your laughter bubble over
Lately you've been working too hard

And I've been waiting to recognize
That sparkle that's in your eye
Those two dimples on your cheeks
The joy that lights the fire

I don't know how we're going to build a castle now
Do you want to start again somehow?
I'll stay until the sun comes down, down down

There's a hole in my bucket,
Dear Liza, Dear Liza
There's a hole in my bucket,
Dear Liza, a hole

And I don't know how we're supposed to build a castle now
Do you want to start again somehow?
I'll stay until the sun comes down, down, down
I'll stay until the sun comes...

I don't know how we're gonna build a castle now
Do you want to start again somehow?
I'll stay until the sun comes down, down down
'till the sun comes down

(Sun's down, here come the waves, and there goes the carousel)
Sun's coming down, I'll stay
(Sun's down, here come the waves, and there goes the carousel)
Sun's coming down, I'll stay
(Sun's down, here come the waves, and there goes the carousel)
Sun's coming down, I'll stay
(Sun's down, here come the waves, and there goes the carousel)


2.Tug Of War

You seem too good
Too good to be true
You're holding me stronger
Stronger than I'm used to

Don't go out with the boys tonight
I won't sleep a wink
Wondering what you're doing
Don't go out with the girls tonight
I will turn to drink

You seem to good
To good to be true
I'm loving you longer
Longer than I'm used to

Don't go out with the boys tonight
I won't sleep a wink
Wondering what you're doing
I don't go out with the girls tonight
I will turn to drink

Tug of war
Sweet as sin
I let go
I fell in
Feel the pull
Call your name
I'm alone
Once again

Too good to be true
You're holding me stronger
Stronger than I'm used to}

Don't go out with the boys tonight
I won't sleep a wink
Wondering what you're doing
Don't go out with the girls tonight
I will turn to drink
Wondering what you're proving.

Tug of war
Sweet as sin
I let go
I fell in
Feel the pull
Call your name
I'm alone
Once again

Tug of war (Don't go out with the boys tonight)
Sweet as sin (You seem too good)
I let go (Too good to be true)
I fell in
Feel the pull (Don't go out with the girls tonight) (I'm loving
you longer)
Call your name (I will turn to drink)
I'm alone
Once again (Longer than I'm used to)

Tug of war (Don't go out with the boys tonight)
Sweet as sin (You seem too good)
I let go (Too good to be true)
I fell in
Feel the pull (Don't go out with the girls tonight) (You seem
too good)
Call your name (I will turn to drink)
I'm alone
Once again (Too good to be true)

(Tug of war)
(Feel the pull) (Don't go out with the boys tonight)
(Tug of war)
(Feel the pull)


3.Money And The Ego

Make my house of bricks
And I'll stick here when the world
Comes crashing down around me

Make your arms a willow tree
And you can bend with me
Any where that I am going

Sometimes its hard to see
Anything lovely
All the people around me going for
Money and the money and the egos
How can you ask me why
I need to know before I try
I've got to be sure there's more than
Money and the money and the ego

Keep your eyes on me
And I'll look to you so I can see
What I am here for
Pull the wool over my eyes
Please kiss this day goodbye
Only you can get me going

Sometimes its hard to see
Anything lovely
All the people around me going for
Money and the money and the egos
How can you ask me why
I need to know before I try
I've got to be sure there's more than
Money and the money and the ego

Giving up is all you've got
And giving up all you want
You hear yourself say you've lost the will, the power

Giving up is all you've got
And giving up is all you want
But don't be afraid to sit down in your shower
Stay in there for hours

Make my house of bricks
And I'll stick here when the world
Comes crashing down around me

Sometimes its hard to see
Anything lovely
All the people around me going for
Money and the money and the egos
How can you ask me why
I need to know before I try
I've got to be sure there's more than
Money and the money and the ego

(Got to be sure there's more)
Money and the money and the ego
(Got to be sure there's more)
Money and the money and the egos


4.Tell Me

Tell me
Baby is it yes or no
You've got a face that just don't show
What's going on inside

Tell me
I swear I'll take it on the chin
Don't sugar-coat where I fit in
Whats going on
Inside you theres a room,
A room with a door
I finally come knocking
And I've been here before
Oh I've got this love for you
But what is if for
If you can't hear me then

Tell me
Last chance
Hold me in your arms and say
if you want this love to walk away
Tell me and I'll say goodbye

Inside you theres a room,
A room with a door
I finally come knocking
And I've been here before
Oh I've got this love for you
But what is if for
If you can hear me then

I'll make it easy
I'm counting to 3
Am I something you want or someone you need?

Tell me that you want me, tell me that you love me, baby

Tell me that you want me tell me that you love me

Just tell me that you want me, tell me that you love me

Tell me, darling won't you tell me
I'm begging you to tell me,
Tell me and I'll say goodbye


5.Heavy Lifting

You undo me
I'm a happy mess
My dress slips to the floor
And I pose, what an amateur
To be like this! 'exposed'

You deny the other side of me
That strips good love away
And you kissed my mirror reflection
When I looked at me today

When you look at me the way you do
My fingers tingle
I can't breathe until we're skin on skin
When you look at me the way you do
My life moves in perfect motion
You're doing all the heavy lifting

Worlds collide
I see a side of you
I never saw before
We can work it out, let's talk it out
I want to know you more

Just decided
That I'd like to side with you
Oh every time
When you ask me how I'm feeling now
You know I'm feeling fine

When you look at me the way you do
My fingers tingle
I can't breathe until we're skin on skin
When you look at me the way you do
My life moves in perfect motion
You're doing all the heavy lifting

Oh, look at me the way you do
Look at me the way you do
Look at me the way you do
Oh, look at me the way you do
Look at me the way you do
Look at me, look at me the way you do

When you look at me the way you do
My fingers tingle
I can't breathe until we're skin on skin
When you look at me the way you do
My life moves in perfect motion
You're doing all the heavy lifting

Oh, look at me the way you do
Look at me the way you do
Look at me, look at me the way you do
Oh, look at me the way you do
Look at me the way you do
Look at me the way you do

When you look at me the way you do
My...


6.Sunshine On My Shoulders

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water that is so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I would give a day sure to make you smile
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine on almost makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I would give to you a day just like today
Ah if I had a song I could sing for you
I would sing a song to make you this way

Sunshine ooo sunshine
la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine almost always makes me high

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine almost always makes me high


7.Worldly Matters

Hot pink skies, twilight of the day
I think that I've been going bout this the wrong way
Kids on my street got it right man,
Barefoot hide and seek
My best friend she lives up the road
Haven't talked to her in weeks

Oh time don't blind me, I am so sorry
I've been swept up in my own concerns
And the worldly matters, they just don't matter at all
No, not at all

I keep on walking I stop
Ditching all my plans
I want to climb that cedar tree and leave me in good hands
What happened to me on the way to something higher
What will be left when I have all that I desire?

Oh time don't blind me, I am so sorry
I've been swept up in my own concerns
And the worldly matters, they just don't matter at all
No, not at all
No, not at all


8.Sweet Talker

Sweet talker, I'm not gunna stop you
You talk so sweet and it's dribbling like honey
It's just one taste
I see what your tryin' to do, oh oh, yeah yeah,
Its hot, steaks are getting higher

No love for free man
It costs if you're the buyer
My life's for me
I see what cha tryin' to do oh oh

(Come on)
Lazy lover, oh, you slide me through you
Slide me though your
Lazy lover I will slide me through your window
And i give you oh the sweetest dreams you ever had
Make your early morning not so bad
I can see just what you're tryin' to do

That's a nice a house
I like what you've done with the place
Your ginger bread and that greedy smile upon your face
I can see just what you're tryin' to do oh oh

(Come on)
Lazy lover, oh, you slide me through your
Slide me though your
Lazy lover I will slide me through your window
And I'll give you, oh, the sweetest dreams you ever had
Make your early morning not so bad
I can see just what you're tryin' to do

But, don't worry, I say get it over with
'Cuz what you want to know,
You've got it on your finger tips
Don't you ask for more that wave
Just tumbles me round till I'm lost somewhere
With baby, I just can't make a sound

It's so unfortunate
But I've already been through this
And I can see just what your tryin; to do
I can see just what you need to do


9.Hotel Shampoos

I survive on hotel shampoos
I'll be runnin' out soon
You've gone away again
Gone to collect some more
Your hands pressed hard into me
I thought this summer you'd be gone away again
Oooo he's gone away again

We were poor, yeah, we were dream chasers baby
Sky scrapers are not too tall
He's gunna to prove me right 'til I'm wrong

Craving all the gold and the riches
I don't want to wash my own dishes
He's gone away again, hmm he's gone away again
Driving in a sweet brand new car
Living the life of a superstar
I got my way again, hmm I got my way again

We were poor, yeah, we were dream chasers baby
Sky scrapers are not too tall
He's gunna to prove me right 'til I'm wrong

He says that he don't recognize us
In all our pretty disguises
In all out pretty disguises

Work hard, oh we work until we're sleepin'
And we sleep but we're not dreaming
Oh we sleep but we're not dreaming

Where's his love
Where's his kisses
He says 'sorry babe, this has got away from me'
He's gone away from me

We were poor, yeah, we were dream chasers baby
Sky scrapers are not too tall
He's gunna to prove me right 'til I'm wrong
I know he'll prove me right
He's gunna prove me right 'til I'm wrong


10.Sour Candy

Sour candy endings
Coffee stains but where?
Oh I'm so tangled up in my
Big sunglasses and bed hungry second day fare

No we went under, the weight was too much to carry on
I felt the thunder
Mister don't look so scared
I never knew, I never knew
That I could be so sad we went under

I've been very cautious
Trying numbness instead of pain
All your humour makes me, makes me nauseous
What a twisted twisted twisted game

No we went under, the weight was too much to carry on
I felt the thunder
Mister don't look so scared
I never knew, I never knew
That I could be so sad we went under

Oh get yourself home
You leave him alone
On second thought I regret the pink stiletto
Ohh oohh ooo

Sour candy endings...and I was barely even there

No we went under, the weight was to much to carry on
I felt the thunder
Mister don't look so scared
I never knew, I never knew
That I could be so sad (we went under)
So sad (we went under)
So sad (we went under)
So sad (we went under)
So sad we went under
