Jennifer Brown Vera Lyrics
1.Tuesday Afternoon


2.Two In The Mourning

I want to be the girl who makes it under your skin so you can't
sleep
I want to be the one who makes your body stiff and your
conscience weak
You're gonna leave your senses and your confidences

I want you to be my two in the morning
Desperation call
I want you to shout my name without warning
When the phone rings at two in the morning

I want you to see my body naked touching you in every dream
So when i tie you up and then go down you might not scream
I wanna be crazy and not care about what people say
Nobody has to know that i want you to be my slave

Chorus

Don't go to sleep i just might call
To throw you up against the wall

I want to be the girl who smiles standing by her man
But secretly i want you kneeling when i raise my hand
I wanna be pink and flowers every hour of the day
And when the nightime comes i wanna change the role i play
And you leave your senses and your confidences

Chorus


3.Walls

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

When i saw you
I thought i knew you
But that too easy for me

Just a glass of red wine
Is like a key to the inside
Where i can run but i just can hide

And i don wanna say anymore, no more

I just can tell you i love you
It gonna take some time
I e built these walls all around me
Let see if you can climb
And i don , i don know why they e so high
But i can tell you i love you

Please don touch me
Please don judge me
Just go easy
On me

But my confession
Is that i want you
Maybe that launch you
Over to the other side

Chorus

I used to be the kind who just surrendered
But i learned love is never real for the pretenders
And i no pretender

Chorus


4.Paper Crown

Hey, tell me everything you really want to say
ause when i saw you last night at the palace
You were hunched over your whiskey, avoiding me
.and anyway, who do you think you are?
You used to borrow my car and drive through the old city
Like a bastard prince who thought he deserved the world

But something made me love you
I guess i was so naive...

You were trusted with my love and now you avoid me
You got busted fooling around and now you ignore me
The truth is like fire in this town
To the prince with the paper crown

By the way, do you even remember her name?
Was it louise on her knees, carrying some disease
She got from her junkie friends in amsterdam

You used to whisper like a cat
Now you hide from me like a nervous rat

Chorus

But something made me love you
How could i be so naive?

You were trusted with my love and now you avoid me
You got busted fooling around and now you ignore me
I was lusted and tossed out and now you deplore me
My chain rusted and i breaking out
ause your life just bores me
The truth is like fire in this town
To the prince with the paper crown


5.Alive

Have you seen a mother kiss her son goodbye
Have you seen a dark cloud fight a silver line
I have seen a loved one tell a million lies
Karma«s like a boomerang whirling deep inside

I may not know a thing about you
You may not know a thing about me
But if we«re free, then.

We're alive
Take a breath because
We're alive
Take a breath
We're alive

I may speak a language you don«t understand
But what words do you need to take somebody«s hand
Love is like a blanket everyone deserves
Drape it on your shoulders and let your voice be heard

You may not know a thing about me
I may not know a thing about you
But if there«s a me and you

We're alive
Take a breath because

Alive
Take a breath
We're alive

Take a breath, take a deep breath
Take a breath, take a deep breath
Take a breath, take a deep breath
Take a breath, take a deep breath

And we may wear different clothes
And pray to gods in different robes
But if we«re praying

We're alive
Take a breath because
We're alive
Take a breath
We're alive


6.Nobody Knows Me Like You Do

Let's runaway
Nobody has to know where
Out of this place with all the madness
Where the world don't understand us
We just got to get out of here

Isn it strange and soothing
That i could never hide the truth from you
Like a flower knows the rain
Like a healer knows the pain
All my walls you see right through

And though at times i may trip and fall
You pick me up when i fumble the ball

Nobody knows me like you do
Nobody feels me like you do
With you i know i l never lose
Cause nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like you do

And as the sun falls lightly
Into tomorrow hands
We can dream under the darkness
Feeling safe beneath the stardust
Where together we will stand

Real friends don fade away
And how could i ever find someone who gets me this way

Chorus


7.Naked(When I Take Off All My Clothes)

I know i could be at tease.
You know that all this smoke is just a screen.
But in this world today, with all the games we play.
This one not so bad.
Do you really what to be alone tonight?
I can help myself, i can help myself.

When i take off all my clothes and youe standing very close, i
want you to touch me and we fa la la la...
When i naked i don care, as long as you are standing there
when i take off all my clothes. we fa la la la...

I can dress up like a queen, if make believe is what you want
from me.
But any role i play will just be tossed away each time il make
you crazy.
Do you really want to watch the show?
If you help yourself, you can help yourself.

Chorus

Chemistry is not a crime.
Just for people who keep it all wrapped up inside.
Who needs formality in sexuality.

Chorus


8.Chico(Painted Hands)

In the middle of the night she struts around
A yellow taxi to the heart of downtown
Black stockings and a cocktail dress
Purple eyeshadow
It so hard for her to meet a man
With a secret they won understand
But her emotions are much deeper than...
The underground freakshow

Now if a man feels like a woman
Does that make him less a man
If he hides the truth inside his painted hands
No esta una chica
Un chico un chico
No esta una chica
Un chico un chico, claro

After hours under candlelight
She pulled a vision in a suit and tie
Masculine with a willing smile
They went home together

'you know i different than you think i am.'
He leaned over by the bedside stand
The suit and tie had a gun in his hand
An affair to remember...

Chorus


9.Trembling

You say, you've had partners in bed but you never made love
You say, don't hold back emotions, trust

But it's not easy for me to hold a diamond close
There a little girl inside me that you just don know and she is

Trembling
Trembling
Remembering the glass rings of yesterday

You sigh, honey, this is not about saying goodbye
I cry, i just can't believe youe arrived
And it's not like me to throw caution with the wind
There's a frightened soul inside of me that never wins and she
is...

Trembling
Trembling
Remembering the glass rings of yesterday
I say, life without you with me ain't my style
And i pray that everything we wish for stays divine
So just help me when i'm walking in dressed in white
And promise me that you'll forever hold me tight, so i'm not...

Trembling
Trembling
Remembering the glass rings of yesterday


10.Rose Colored Glasses

I used to hang out at the ricochet
Thursday nights were good, ladies drink for free
I should have known i was just another victim of a marketing
scheme
Guys wearing green leather pants
Doing laps around the floor where we danced
I always game for a little conversation
But mister that don mean that you can jump all over me and my...

Rose colored glasses
They only see what they wanna see and my
Heart always crashes without my rose colored
Rose colored glasses

With all the noise in the background
He says, hat are you doing here all by yourself?
Why can a woman have a drink alone without crying for help?
He says, h no no no no, that not what i mean!
Then he spills his drink on my new blue jeans
You think i be just a little more cynnical
But love don come easy so for now i l just wear my...

Rose colored glasses
They only see what they wanna see and my
Heart always crashes without my rose colored
Rose colored
Rose colored glasses
They only see what they wanna see and my
Love can turn to ashes without my rose colored
Rose colored glasses

Just show me love and i l be alright
I e heard every line so don waste my time
And if these men are any indication of what going on
Then i keeping them on
I keeping them on, my....


11.Past Life

There you were standing against the wall
Looking cool, sippin and lippin with your group of friends
And i knew just as easy as the air i breathe
You had a vibe that gave me reason to believe
.and i knew (i knew)
It was you (it was you)
Yes i knew (i knew)
It was you (it was you)

If your past life finds you once more maybe
The one youe lovin now you loved before
So familiar it feels so right baby
Maybe i knew you in a past life

There we were inside a dungeon in spain
Or we were lions making love in the rain
In south america or was it japan
You were a woman, maybe i was a man

But i knew (i knew)
It was you (it was you)
Yes i knew (i knew)
It was you (it was you)

Chorus

And you walk over to me with that old cliche
Don i know you from somewhere someplace
I start to laugh and say that just might be
This ain the first time it been you and me

And i knew (i knew)
It was you (it was you)
Yes i knew (i knew)
It was you (it was you)


12.Daddy's Gone

She was only 16, didn't know the first thing about life
Just tryin' to do right & just doin' her momma wrong
And her daddy walked out, he was talked out, no more hangin'
about
Tryin' to keep his happy face on, guess papa ain't that strong

And he left his little girl in the middle of the night
She was calling out his name after hearing them fight

Daddy's gone, daddy's gone movin' on
Leavin' momma at home he found another woman
Now he's gone
Daddy's gone leaving a legacy of love gone wrong

When she turned 21, she found the big city life
And the neon lights and drinkin' it up 'til dawn
Met her boyfriend bill, who couldn't sit still, put her on the
pill
And still she would wake up alone, who can run away from home

Bill was calling up his girl in the middle of the night
Said, 'i'm not your old man who ain't doin' you right. your...

Daddy's gone, daddy's gone movin' on
Leavin' momma at home he found another woman
Now he's gone
Daddy's gone leaving a legacy of love gone wrong

At the age of 65, she was the single mother of nine
Every now and then she would praise her momma to the lord ]
And with tears in her eyes, she'd remember that night after
hearing them fight
She would never trust a man, no, never again

With the graying in her hair and the wisdom of age
She would try to forgive the man no one could save
No one could save her
