1.Slicker Than Your Average
Yo craig (yeah)
there's some real jealous people out there right (uh huh)
tryin' to say how you're whack (what)

and you ain't got nothin' to say (what)
Well it's album number two right
so you gotta let 'em know (that's right)
so do your thing (yeah)
take your time (yeah)
speak your mind (listen)
Ever since I first stepped up
they thought I wasn't good enough, no
they told me that I'd only last one song
(that's foolish man - what's it like now？ 7 million albums？)
they said I wasn't from the streets (the streets)
when I was working behind boxes
shit like this don't happen overnight, no no
While they're tellin' me
about my imagery
How I'm so squeaky clean
whenever I'm on tv
Too much jealousy
in the industry
Why are you watching me
when you should just let me be (craig)
Slicker than your average
tell me what do you want from me
slicker than your average
tell me what do you want from me
slicker than your average, hey
tell me what do you want from me
slicker than your average
ooh tell me what you want from me
Some people say it's been too long
that's why I'm here to prove them all wrong
so why do imitators wanna bite my style
(ladies and gentlemen, will the real craig david please stand
up？)
you never had a problem at home
when I was havin' woman trouble
somebody fill me in when I serve my time
remember who gave you rewind
While they're tellin' me
that i'm too r'n'b
How I turned right back up
the whole uk garage scene
Then they stress me
no matter we have much more to see
Why are you watching me
when you should just let me be (craig)
Everywhere that I go (everywhere that I go)
they keep stopping my flow (they keep stopping my flow)
everywhere that I go (everywhere that I go)
they keep stopping my flow
yo
check it
There comes a time (there comes a time)
when you've gotta take a step to do what's right
(as much as T like T can't possibly please everyone)
Slicker than your average
single surfin' gap bridge (？)
busy tryin' to slam me cos I smashed it
well they don't understand us
I'm hittin' I'm established
while takin' british music to the masses
the gold diggers go bananas
the same ones that didn't show me no love
when I was cashless
in the day when it really mattered
when I was pennin' competition no publishin' hits for damage
(craig)
now the gold go to me so minimal
I'm involved in the platinum plaques and records sold
heaven knows that I got a producer with ego
and there were those that were told exactly where to go
somebody please stop these little kids
the one that pulled bumpers off me to assist (？)
shoutin' outside of the block I used to live
they don't like my records so why listen to this
Everywhere that I go
(they be tellin' me that I can't rock the show)
they keep stopping my flow
(freakin' schemin' and schemin' tryin' to mess up my flow)
everywhere that I go
(I wanna tell the world and let them know)
they keep stopping my flow
(so tell me what you want from me)
every way that I go (oh ho oh ho oh yeah)
they keep stopping my flow
(don't listen to 'em)
everywhere that i go
(dum dum)
they keep stopping my flow
(let 'em know, yo, we out)
2.What's Your Flava？
What's your flava
Tell me what's your flava (x4)
I met this fly girl in the club
Went by the name of pecan deluxe
This ice cream was high maintenance
When I took her out,
Man it cost me 20 bucks
Met this chick named walnut whip
Nearly made me sick to the point of throwing up
So I called chocolate chip
Wit the sweet toffe crisp
And I still cant get enough
Your what I want
Your what I need
I wanna taste ya (taste ya) take ya home with me
You look so good
Good enough to eat
I wonder if I can peel your wrapper
I can be your fantasy
What's your flava
Tell me whats your flava (x4)
I take 'em in the middle of July
With tha drop top down in the park
When it's summerin'
These ice creams lookin so fly
That I just cant lie
It all seems too bewildering
They got these grown men,
running round..
screaming out..
acting worse than children..
but who flow..
better know..
better stack cheddar..
get more tongue..
better than this ice-cream..
better than...
Your what I want
Your what I need
I wanna taste ya (taste ya) take ya home wit me
You look so good
Good enough to eat
I wonder if I can peel your wrapper
Be your fantasy
What's your flava
Tell me what's your flava (x4)
Hey, I'm taking em, apple and cinnamon
Girls I'm feeling em can't stop drippin' em
That's why they got me dribbling
Hot fudge sauce and it's all over my Timberlands
I take them caramel with a hint of vanilla
Wit a little chocolate sprinkling
They make me spend my dividends
These sweet things make me feel like a kid again
Your what I want
Your what I need
I wanna taste ya (taste ya) take ya home wit me
You look so good
Good enough to eat
I wonder if I can peel your wrapper
I could be your fantasy
What's your flava
Tell me what's your flava (x4)
3.Fast Cars
Fast cars,
Fast women,
Speed bikes with the nitro in them,
Dangerous when driven,
Those are the type that I be feeling (x2)
Sitting there while I observe,
I like your lines I love your curves,
Checking out your bodywork,
How can I get with her,
Your the one that I want,
Do anything to turn you on,
Somebody please just pass the keys so you can take a ride with
me
I'm on a mission,
First thing disarming your system,
Next thing slip the key in the ignition,
Just listen,
To the way that you purr at me you know your as perverse as me,
When your back starts dipping,
Wheel spinning when the gears start shifting,
I'm sticking to the turbo kissing,
You know that I'm missing,
Got me moving so fast you got me missing the flash a 5.0,
Fast cars,
Fast women,
Speed bikes with the nitro in them,
Dangerous when driven,
Those are the type that I be feeling (x2)
Feel the rise feel the rush,
The moment I tease your clutch,
Reacting to my every touch,
Were shifting down were tearing up,
I don't care where we go,
The brand new alps the amazon (？)
Even if we crash you know,
I'll spin your round just to let you know
I'm on a mission,
First thing disarming your system,
Next thing slip the key in the ignition,
Just listen,
To the way that you purr at me you know your as perverse as me,
When your back starts dipping,
And I'm unaware of the limits I'm hitting,
Blurred vision in a critical condition,
Could blow the transmission,
Got me moving so fast you got me missing the flash a 5.0,
Fast cars,
Fast women,
Speed bikes with the nitro in them,
Dangerous when driven,
Those are the type that I be feeling (x2)
Body like a racecar,
You got the curves like Jaguar,
Acceleration like a Yamaha,
I like the way you perform when I'm turning you on,
Feel it when I revving you,
Smoother than a ？？？,
？？？ like a ？？？,
I like the way you perform when im turning you on
Fast cars,
Fast women,
Speed bikes with the nitro in them,
Dangerous when driven,
Those are the type that I be feeling (x4)

5.Eenie Meenie
On my way from the studio driving on my way home
Happy 'cos I'm gonna see my girl tonight
Something messing with my radio
Gotta be my cell phone ringing
I picked it up it was my girlfriend
But she wouldn't talk to me no
I heard some bitching in the background saying
That my girl was too good for me yeah
And I was like what？ Why you chatting my name (oh)
Say it again, nothing to hide got nothing to gain
People wan front just because of my fame
You better stop! Before I lose control
Had enough of you friends ＆ I'm letting you know
I'm Craig David ＆ I'm running the show
And if you're talking a lot of bull baby you got to go so...
Eenie meenie minie mo gonna miss you that I know
Girl it's been wonderful but I gotta let you go
Eenie meenie minie mo getting kinde critical
Don't wanna hurt you though but I gotta let you go
So tell me why you wanna do me like that
Used to give you things now you're throwing 'em back
Access to the visa, the keys to the flat
Widescreen tv, dvd's ＆ that
All of a sudden you be trippin' when I answer the phone
Talking all about me in an angry tone
Talking all about how I be doing you wrong
You're crazy, whatever happened to the good girl？
The one that was in to me yeah
I wanna tell it to your face girl
That one of us had to leave so
chorus (x2)
Well I'm just an ordinary guy, dealing with rumours ＆ lies
But your friends keep on filling your head with this nonsense ＆
I can't take no more
Craig David she only after that wage payslip
That's why she got you pulling strange faces
Drinking hennessy 'til your brain's wasted
She don't wanna be the girl that Craig stays with
She just wanna be there while Craig stays rich
She wouldn't be with him if he was paid basic and
She wouldn't be there if he wasn't made famous
She had a gold digger degree she must've studied for that
Wanted me to get her a mansion with a truck in the back
Flood her with ice 'til a nigger like honey relax
Messiah bolical ain't even got no money for that
All of a sudden you be tripping on my cellular phone
Talking about all of the women that be taking me home
Talking about all of the women I supposedly boned
She crazy, you know what it is
You give them an inch ＆ they be taking the p＊＊s
You fed up of it get rid of the witch, don't be taking her s＊＊＊t
She wasn't saying this when he was licking her lower lip
Making her throw a fit, put you fingers all over it
Tripping all over you whenever you rock the show
Trying to get money 'cos she know you got the dough
And the next time she trippin' fella you drop the phone
If you're talking a lot of bull baby you got to go
chorus (x2)
6.You Don't Miss Your Water(til The Well Runs Dry)
As I sail with you across the finest oceans
On a way to find the key to our emotions
Together we will move the clouds to brighter days
Some people question what I say
Tried to break up you and me
But I know this love between us is growing stronger
You can call me whenever from wherever
Just remember that
I'll be there
Through all the stormy weather
Us break up never
No we'll be together
Forever
Chorus：
You don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry
But I believe so strongly in you and I
Can somebody answer me the question why
You don't miss your water til the well runs dry
As I close my eyes
Sit back while reminiscing
Of when we used to fuss and fight but end up kissing
There may be sad and pain for time so long to wait
But in my heart you'll always be everything and more to me
For I know this love between us is growing stronger
You can call me whenever from wherever
Just remember that
I'll be there
Through all the stormy weather
Us break up never
No we'll be together
Forever
Chorus
For you are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
Girl you know that you
You are always
You are always on my mind
You are always forever
Chorus
You don't miss your water girl no
But I believe so strongly in you and I yeah
Can somebody answer me the question why
Cause you don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry yeah
listen
If you ever get the feeling
You wanna play around starting cheating, remember
You don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry
7.Rise And Fall
Artist：Craig David／Sting
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall (x2)
I always said that I was gonna make it,
Now it's plain for everyone to see,
But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners,
Just casualties,
I know that everything is gonna change,
Even the friends I knew before me go,
But this dream is the life I've been searching for,
Started believing that I was the greatest,
My life was never gonna be the same,
Cause with the money came a different status,
That's when things change,
Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own,
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see,
I'm beginning to lose my integrity
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall
I never used to be a troublemaker,
Now I don't even wanna please the fans,
No autographs,
No interviews,
No pictures,
And less demands,
Given advice that was clearly wrong,
The type that seems to make me feel so right,
But some things you may find can take over your life,
Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places,
And there's nowhere left for me to turn,
Been caught in comprimising situations,
I should have learnt,
From all those times I didn't walk away,
When I knew that it was best to go,
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart,
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall
Now I know,
I made mistakes,
Think I don't care,
But you don't realise what this means to me,
So let me have,
Just one more chance,
I'm not the man I used to be,
Used to beeeeeeeeeee
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall (x4)

10.Two Steps Back
Ooh, ooh (Craig David)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You know I'm the kinda guy that does 9 to 5
Working real hard is the way I live my life
Back home just me and you girl all alone
When no one interrupting
Switch off the phone
But I could be that other guy
Who comes home late at night and tells you lies
So why you're trippin' out on me girl all the time
When every day it's only you that's on my mind oh
Chorus：
Every time we take one step forward
You take 2 steps back
Everytime it's right you bring left back (oh, oh)
Girl you really oughta think about it
Cuz there's really no doubt about it
You know I'm been there for you and that's the truth (x2)
You know you're the kinda girl that doesn't need to frown
Keep it real, let me know just what you want
Sometimes she just don't know when to stop
You always want so much for nothing
You're just losing what you've got
Now can't you see there's no other girl
I think you're the most beautiful woman in this world
Yeah
But you say I don't appreciate you
And I don't know how to treat you
We don't do the same thing we did no more
Chorus
Remember it wasn't that long ago
You told me that you love me so
Don't forget all the nights we shared
When you told me girl how much you cared
It could be a little straight
But this is the way plays to play
I'm not that kinda man
Why can't you understand
Cause I
Want you to trust in me
Baby girl can't you see
You only gonna mess things up
You've done enough
Why can't you stop
You're gonna lose what's good to you
And it's the last thing you wanna do
Won't find another let me hold
Chorus
11.What's Changed
Hey, baby

Why do you wanna play these games with me？
Thought you always wanted to be with me
Verse 1
Well at first girl, I wanted to
But things have changed between me and you
That's why I don't know what I'm gonna do
Lately, you say I been acting kinda strangely
Like I don't love you no more
You say 'call me' (call me call me call me)
But I just can't explain
It's all so crazy
Between me and you, baby oooooooh
And even though at first you meant the world to me (world to me)
The time has come to spread my wings and be set free (be set
free)
So I can figure out a place where I belong (I belong)
To find my way home now love is gone (girl, now that love is
gone)
Now baby singing...
Why don't you call me no more？
It was every night you were calling me before
Given half a chance, you'd be knocking at my door
So, tell me what's changed
Baby, tell me what's changed
Why don't you give me some time
Tell me, cuz I can't get you out of my mind
But up until now, we been doing just fine
So, tell me what's changed
Baby tell me what's changed
Baby (baby) Baby
Since we met, I've treat you like a lady
But now I don't know what to do
I think maybe (maybe maybe maybe)
It's just that my well for you has run empty
What am I gonna do, baby？ (ooooh oooooooooh)
And even though at first, you made me so happy (so happy)
My love for you has changed, so put the blame on me (blame on
me)
Under pressure, it's too hard for me to stay (to stay)
And I get so guilty when you page me everyday, with hope
Why won't you answer my page？
It was you who said things were never gonna change
And it seems like lately you're acting kinda strange
So, tell me what's changed
Baby, tell me what's changed
Why can't you even pass by？
Spend some of your time, even just to say hi
You're not the type of guy who would make a girl cry
So, tell me what's changed
Baby, tell me what's changed
Girl, I know
It seems like I don't care (I don't care)
After all the things we used to share (after all the things we
used to share)
Now I know it feels like I've done you wrong (done me wrong)
But the pain will heal the sooner that I'm gone (I'm gone, I'm
gone, girl) (oooh ahhhh)
Baby singing...
Why don't you call me no more？ (oh girl)
It was every night you were calling me before (I guess I shoulda
told you, yeah)
Given half a chance, you'd be knocking at my door

do girl)
Baby, tell me what's changed
Why don't you give me some time？ (said give me some time)

So, tell me what's changed
Baby, tell me what's changed
Girl, I never meant to make you cry (yeah, babe)
But its so hard to find the words to say (I wanna know what's
changed, babe)
So I never wanted girl, to hurt you (mmmmm)
Oooooooh no, girl please believe me (oooooh yeah ahhh)
12.World Filled With Love
(Verse)
Saw some pictures in the paper,
of a girl I'd met the day before.
I couldn't believe that hours later,
I had reporters knockin at my door,
But I used to dream about,
the life I'm living now and,
I didn't think I'd miss those things from the past,
and I'm not afraid of leaving,
or letting go of what I had,
cause I realize that now there's no turning back.
(Chorus)
Cause I'm caught living in a world filled with love,
so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above,
I can brush my troubles away,
know that deep down inside,
I got sun shining in my life.
(Verse)
I used to think I could get better,
my girlfriends always used to get me wrong.
Some just sent messages, love letters,
but those kinda feelings never lasted long.
Cause now the only love I find's within a castle made of sand,
and when the tide goes out it's swept away.
Though I got my peace of mind,
and time is firmly on my side,
and through the battles I can safely say...
(Chorus)
Cause I'm caught living in a world filled with love,
so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above,
I can brush my troubles away,
know that deep down inside,
I got sun shining in my life.
(Music Break)
(Chorus)
Cause I mean I'm caught living in a world filled with love,
so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above,
I can brush my troubles away,
know that deep down inside,
I got sun shining in my life.
I'm caught living in a world filled with love,
so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above,
I can brush my troubles away,
know that deep down inside,
I got sun shining in my life.
