Return Of Saturn

Gwen Stefani Return Of Saturn Lyrics
1.Ex-girlfriend

I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend

I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope i hold a special place with the rest of them
And you know it makes me sick to be on that list
But i should have thought of that before we kissed

You say you're gonna burn before you mellow
I will be the one to burn you
Why'd you have to go and pick me?
When you that we were different, completely

I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope i hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But i should have thought of that before we kissed

Your wildness scares me
So does your freedom
You say you can't stand the restrictions
I find myself trying to change you
If you were meant to be my lover i wouldn't have to

And i feel so mean, i feel in between
&cause i'm about to give you away

I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend (for someone
else to take)
I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend (am i making a
mistake?)
I hope i hold a special place with the rest of them (all the
time that we

Spent) i kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girl, friend

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But i should have thought of that before we kissed
I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But i should have thought of that before we kissed

I'm about to give you away for someone else to take
I'm about to give you away for someone else to take

We keep repeating mistakes for souvenirs
And we've been in between the days for years
And i know that when i see you i'm going to die
I know i'm going to want you and you know why
It's going to kill me to see you with the next girl
&cause i'm the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl

I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope i hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girl friend

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But i should have thought of that before we kissed
I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But i should have thought of that before we kissed


2.Simple Kind Of Life

For a long time i was in love
Not only in love, i was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, i'm covered in shells

And all i wanted was a simple thing
A simple kind of life
And all i needed was a simple man
So i could be a wife

I'm so ashamed, i've been so mean
I don't know how it got to this point
Ooh i always was the one with all the love
But you came along, i'm hunting you down

Like a sick domestic abuser lookin' for a fight
And all i wanted was the simple things a simple kind of life

Oh if we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?
Would i try to make you mine?

I always thought i'd be a mom
Sometimes i wish for a mistake
The longer that i wait the more selfish that i get
You seem like you'd be a good dad

Now all the simple things are simply too complicated for my life
How'd i get so faithful to my freedom? a selfish kind of life
When all i ever wanted was the simple things a simple kind of
life


3.Bathwater

You and your museum of lovers
The precious collection you've housed in your covers
My simpleness threatened by my own admission

And the bags are much to heavey
In my insecure condition
My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again

But i still love to wash in your old bathwather
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I can't help it...your my kind of man

Wanted and adored by attractive women
Bountiful selecton at your discretion
I know i'm diving into my own destruction.

So why do we choose the boys that are naughty?
I don't fit in so why do you want me?
I know i can't tame you... but i just keep trying

'cause i still love to wash in your old bathwather
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I'm on your list with all your other women
But i still love to wash in your old bathwater
You make me feel like you couln't love another
I can't help it...your my kind of man.

Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?

So i pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
Diligently doubtful through kinds of trouble
Then i find myself choking on all my contradictions

Cause i still love to wash in your old bathwather
Love to think that you couldn't love another
Share a toothbrush...your my kind of man
I still love to wash in your old bathwather
Make me feel like i couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man.

No i can't help myself
I can't help myself
I still love to wash in your old bathwater.


4.Six Feet Under

In the morning i wake up
And in the night i sleep
Since the day that i was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was i before?
Non-existent? not at all?
Will i ever know?

Today is my birthday
And i get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But i'll be buried six feet underground

Subconsciously motivated natural instinct
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conception
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control

Today is my birthday
And i get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But i'll be buried six feet underground
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around

Spinng, spinning
Before i can recall
All the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generations
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Then give birth to my own daughter

Today is my birthday
And i get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But i'll be buried six feet underground

Today is my birthday
And i get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But i'll be buried six feet undergrounf
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around
I'll be burried six feet underground.


5.Magic's In The Makeup

Can u tell i'm faking it?
But i want to be myself
A counterfeit disposition
Cant be good for my health
So many different faces depending on the different phases
My personality changes
I'm a chameleon
There's more than one dimension
I can feel you and attract attention
Camouflage my nature
Let me demonstrate....

Make up is all off
Who am i?
The magic's in the make up
Who am i?

If you bore me then i'm comfortable
If u interest me, i'm scared
My attraction paralyzes me
No courage to show my true colors that exist
But i want to be the real thing
But if you catch my eye can't be authentic
The one's i loath are the one's that know me best

My makeup's all off
Who am i?
The magic's in the makeup
Who am i?

The makeups all off
Who am i?
If the magic's in the make up
Then who am i?
Magic's in the makeup
But i want to be the real thing
But the magic's in the makeup
And i want to be the real thing

My makeup's all off
Who am i?


6.Artificial Sweetener

Oh yes i'm guilty
For leasing myself out
Not ready to go up for sale
Can't seem to give it up
Stubborn, so selfish
I'm showing off the worst in me

The return of saturn
Assessing my life
Second guessing...

I'm full of artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
It's all artificial sweetener
I'm faking i love you's
You're forcing me to

You really deserve love
I want to love you
But i can't seem to find myself
I'm wilting effort
Our progress report
I'm only sure that i'm not sure

I shudder to be honest
Who's behind it all now?
Who's the author?

I'm full of artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
It's all artificial sweetener
I'm faking i love you's
You're forcing me to

Re-read, re-write, redo, undo
I'm stuck on this page
I was born two weeks late
Is that why i hesitate
I'm on the fence
Push me off it
I want to be on your side now
And keep a promise

I'm full of artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
It's all artificial sweetener
I'm faking i love you's
You're forcing me to


7.Marry Me

I can't help that i like to be kissed
And i wouldn't mind if my name changed to mrs.
This is one side, my conventional side
My attraction to tradition
My vintage disposition
My sincere architecture
And i want to cook him dinner
But i'm more indecisive than ever
And who believes in forever

Who will be the one to marry me?

A girl in the world barking up the wrong tree
A creature conditioned to employ matrimony
Crumbling continuity, i pick up the pieces
The ceremony makes me zealous
As the past quickly ceases
Fear from being neutered
I'm now prude, now defensive
Quickly i'm altered and tempted by new love only rented

Do you believe you'll marry me?
You might be the one to marry me

Back, looking back, looking back at me
I'm not how i used to be
Take me back, take me back into history
Diamond ring, tie me down, just like it used to be

Who will be the one to marry me?
Who will be the one to marry me?


8.New

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And i can't believe i've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

New, you're so new
You, you're new
And i never had this taste in the past
New, you're so new

My normal hesitation is gone
And i really gravitate to your will
Are you here to fetch me out?
'cause i never had this taste in my mouth

Oh you're not old
And you're not familiar
Recently discovered
And i'm learning about you

New, you're so new
You, you're new

And you're consuming me violently
And you're reverence shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac
'cause i never had this taste in my past

Oh you're different
You're different from the former
Like a fresh battery
I'm energized by you

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And i can't believe i've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

Why am i so curious
This territory's dangerous
I'll probably end up at the start
I'll be back in line with my broken heart
New, you're so new
You, you're new
And i never had this taste in the past

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And i can't believe i've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

And i can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Don't let it go away, this feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away


9.Too Late

I just want to take you away from everyone
And keep you stashed under my pillow
And then i'd take you out simply for my own pleasure
And wear you when the occasion's special
Then i'd put you on like a diamond
So i can sparkle and be the envy of my friends
I'd probably hold the leash that i'd have you on
So you can't stray and follow me around all day

It's too late now
I don't think it can fade
It's too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze

Compulsion has stained me
I'm nervously cradling our young love
Without known limits love
Like a butterfly cupped in my hands
I peek in to see beauty trapped
Confined it flutters
Then it leaves behind colorful dust
To remind me of the special times we spent
But of course it has to leave my clutch
But enough's never enough to make a dent

It's too late now
I don't think it can fade
It's too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze

And in time it will end
And there really isn't hope for the two of us
But right now i give in...

It's too late now
I don't think it can fade
It's too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze.


10.Comforting Lie


11.Suspension Without Suspense

My divorce from dependence
That's when you found me
I was too soft
And we always were in trouble
Odds stacked against us
And trouble's what we are

We get so far
And then it just start rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

Now that i've murdered your inspiration
And i forced you off
Do you hate me?
Do you want revenge
I want to call you but i won't

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

Oh the pessimistic protection plan
Moderation loving
I've been hardened by the circumstance
We knew this was coming

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Intentions without intent
But i don't want the love we have to end


12.Staring Problem

My eyes are so rootless
They wander, i follow
I keep staring, i can't stop it
I know i shouldn't
But i can't stop it

Such a cute girl
I'm so jealous
I wish i looked exactly like her
What's it like to have that body?
I'm gawking while i wander

S-t-a-r-i-n-g
I can't stop staring
S-t-a-r-i-n-g
I can't stop staring

With my envy i steal glances
Resentful fault finder
This peek-a-boo's become a problem
Predisposed cat fighter

S-t-a-r-i-n-g
I can't stop staring
S-t-a-r-i-n-g
I can't stop staring


13.Home Now
