While You Can

Lucy Woodward While You Can Lyrics
1.Dumb Girls

He broke my heart today
I don't know what to say
I can't feel a thing at all
I did not see it comin'
Now you just a man that got away
I look at the ground
And give the sky the middle finger
Something inside said
'Here's a day you should remember
So mark it on a wall'

I never believed it could happen to me
Something like this only happens to dumb girls
Taking themselves too seriously
I was so damn smart
I was the one girl
Who never believed it could happen to me
Something like this only happens to somebody else

I miss you so much
Can't stand it
You bring out the blonde in me
'Cause I'm still hanging on
Even though you done me wrong.
And I got the heart to forgive this
But I'd never let you know.
What kind of girl would put herself
In that postition?
yeah
To think that I could ever fight the system
And I got fooled again

I never believed it could happen to me
Something like this only happens to dumb girls
Taking themselves too seriously
I was so damn smart
I was the one girl
Who never believed it could happen to me
Something like this only happens to somebody else

I thought I was strong (I thought I was strong)
But I was just dreamin'
I can't believe it (can't believe it)
That nothing was wrong (nothing was wrong)
I thought I knew what was goin' on
But love was deceiving me (love was deceiving me)
Now I'm just a dumb girl
yeah
A dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb girl
That's what I am
yeah, yeah

I can't believe that it happened to me
Something like this only happens to dumb girls
Taking themselves too seriously
I was so damn smart, yeah
I was the one girl
Who never believed it could happen to me
Something like this only happens to somebody else

(only shit like this would happen to me)
Can't believe this shit could happen to me
yeah, yeah
'Cause something like this only happens to somebody else

I guess I'm just a dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb girl
That's what I am
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb girl

(Chorus-out)


2.Blindsided

Nothin' like walkig down Avenue A,
But it' not like any other day,
'Cause I feel you more than ever now,
Throwing me off somehow,
Nothin' like a girl with an attitude,
But take it all away she don't know what to do,
Now I got you in my fantasy,
Over and over, humbling me,

You got a way,
Of finding me,
Do the math,
It's meant to be,
But how can this be good for me,
If you never know where or when,

I got,
Blindsided,
So used to seeing things my own way,
And I liked it,
But that just don't mean anything,
Now I'm blindsided,
You rocked my world I never saw it coming,
Got nowhere to hide,
And it's not fair

Well here's that other side of me,
Where I sneak into your room and watch you sleep,
And you bring out the high school in me,
I can't pay attention,
Give me detention,
Living in the moment just kills the time,
I wanna find you and make you mine,
My heart's a boombox beating all over town,
It goes bum bum, bum bum

You got a way,
Of finding me,
Add it up,
Can't you see,
If this is your way of getting through to me,
You're tripping me up again


I don't know what's come over me,
'Cause I feel so differently,

You got a way,
Of finding me,
Do the math,
It's meant to be,
If this is your way of getting through to me,
Well you're tripping me out again


There's no point in askin' why,
'Cause baby you're makin' me high,
Blindsided,
You rocked my world and I never saw it coming,
Got nowhere to hide,
And I like it


3.Trust Me(You Don't Wanna See This)

Please just let me stray,
Look the other way,
I gotta do this alone,
'Cause I'm the only one here,
Don't misunderstand,
You're the perfect man,
But I'm not ready to go,
And settle down with you,
So close your eyes,
Close your eyes

I'm not who you think I am,
Let go, get out while you can,
Trust me, you don't,
You don't wanna see this,
I'll be trying everything,
Knee deep into anything,
Trust me, you don't
You don't wanna see this

I can't help myself,
I feel like someone else,
You're gonna thank me someday,
I'm saving you the heartache baby,
If you're still around,
While I'm slowing down,
I might follow you home,
But don't wait up for me,


Don't put up a fight,
Please don't kiss me goodnight,
This was hard enough to say,
No, you can't change my mind,
Don't even try it


4.Is This Hollywood

August, no clue, 2002,
I didn't see coming, even when I came,
I got what I asked for,
3000 miles and no more wondering,
If I need a change,
Ain't it strange,

Is this Hollywood?
'Cause I feel a bit displaced,
But I kinda like it,
Oh I just know it's gonna be good,
I've already decided, yeah,
I wouldn't leave it if I could,
Disoriented as I am,
Is this, is this Hollywood?

The waitress knows my story,
'Cause I'm here every single morning,
She calls you New York,
I tell her you're long gone,
And you're easy to forget,
How lucky can a girl get?
The outta site works a charm,
Ain't I strong?


And you know it's time,
I can always change my mind- okay,
I can come and I can go,
That's all I need to know- today


And my eyes are buggin' yeah,
I got a brand new neighborhood that I'm really loving,
Oh I wouldn't leave it if I could,
Disoriented as I am


5.Trouble With Me

Thinking that I want you,
And you know that I coulda got what I want,
Anybody feel that,
When you know,
But your heart lets it go 'til it's all gone,
It's not like I don't see it,
When it's coming on,
Still I feel like I don't belong

The trouble with me is,
I'm the sum of the parts of something wild,
It's a little big thing,
And I know it,
The trouble with me,
Is I got the heart of nobody's child,
But I don't wanna be free,
That's the trouble with me

Thinking that you know me,
But it's just when you think that,
You know it,
You're wrong,
Wishing you could show me how to stay,
But I can't anyway,
Not this song,
Don't you know that I get weary,
I get so lonely but it's just no use at all


You try to make sense of it you try,
But it's not really me who's saying goodbye,
It's like I got some kinda split personality,
You know nothing ever gets control of me like this,
What can I do?


Thinking that I want you,
And you know that I coulda got what I want


6.What's Good For Me

i ain't no queen of hearts, i go through stages
i fall in love then complicate it
yeah, you know the feeling
w/out much hope just blind ambition
pretending that theres nothing missing
i always kept believing that...
more, i thought if i had more i wouldn't get so bored
but everything just left me empty
love walkin in and out of my door
wasn't good enough no more
well i dont trust myself life really sucks and...

first time i did it but i didnt do it
last time, thats when i really blew it
this time im gonna do it different cuz i know, i know, i know...
if i put everything i have into it
eventually im gonna get whats good for me

im just tryin to be creative
but everyones so oppinionated
wanna tell me what im feeling
cuz one man's junks another's treasure
when its done its hard to measure or keep on believing that...
more, if only i had more, i wouldnt get so bored
but i know its gonna leave me empty
life, walkin in and out of my door wasnt good enough no more
well i dont trust myself im gonna get stuck and...

first time i thought it but i didnt do it
last time, thats when i really blew it
this time im gonna do it different cuz i know, i know, i know...
if i put everything i have into it
eventually im gonna get whats good for me

cuz i dont want to live my life wondering if only i woulda, i
shoulda, i coulda... but i didnt cuz i only blame myself
again...

first time i thought it but i didnt do it
last time, thats when i really blew it
so this time, this time, this time...
if i put everything i have into it
eventually im gonna get whats good for me

first time i thought it but i didnt do it
last time, thats when i really blew it
this time im gonna do it different cuz i know, i know, i know...
if i put everything i have into it
eventually im gonna get whats good for me


7.Standing

There could've been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come the things that I can't touch
Are the things that hurt so much
Well I'll never know
3 days under my belt and I can't remember the last
thing you said
But you were 15 inches away from me
You mumbled something 'bout you and me
The land of the free under the same breath
Well, I already knew
I already knew you were fading


'Cause I'm already standing here on my own
And I don't understand it baby just what went wrong
3 days under my belt
I'm staring at the ceiling once again
Your closure is just ripping me wide open
And I wanna scream but I know it won't bring you
back to me
So your independence wins
I hope you're finding out what the hell that is


Don't you look for me
Don't you cry for me 'cause I'm alright
Something new begins when something ends
I'm alright 'cause it's what you gotta do
Just so you understand
I'm standing


And there could've been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come the things that I can't touch
Are the things that hurt so much
guess I'll never know
And I shoulda tried to to change your mind
But I didn't feel you still were mine so I let it go
'Cause I'm already standing here on my own
And I don't understand it baby just what went wrong
So take one good look at me
Before you move on
I'm standing I'm standing where I belong


8.The Breakdown

There ain't enough boys in the world to go around
You gotta be wicked and tricky
to bring that big boy down
There ain't enough time to talk to everyone
You gotta be distant and bitchy
If you ever wanna get it all done
Do I wish that things were different?
I'm wishing away
I won't point fingers but the thing is
That it always breaks on down this way

The Rolling Stones and I disagree
That you can't always get what you need
And I find it a little hard to believe
That there ain't enough love to go around
That's how it breaks on down
There ain't enough to quench my curiousity
You gotta hit the bull's-eye and let the shit fly
And still there ain't no guarantee
There ain't enough love in the world for every heart
Some are gonna be broken and shattered
While they're tryin' to mak ea brand new start
Do I wish that things were different?
I'm wishing away
I won't point the fingers, but the thing is
That it always breaks on down this way

As long as my landlord's lying
As long as my neighbor's spying
As long as I feel rejected and a little bit disconnected
I need to be unaffected
I need to be able today


9.Always Something

Sometimes when you're lying beside me
In your eyes I see
I don't know but it's something it's something
And it's trippin' me up again
It's like you're here but you're not here
I need to know where
But you won't let me go there
Always telling me it's nothing it's nothing
Well I had a vision
Of a lover in my best friend
It's not like me to question

Something always gets in between
It twists and it turns
You know that it seems to me
Latey I'm so unsure
I can't put my finger on it on it
Stange feeling ripping at the seams
And I've never heard the sound of my heart breaking
Like this before
Before there was always something

Think back on the days when
We were falling
It was so good then
Never worried 'bout a thing, no nothing
Well it's funny how things change
Now a cold wind is blowin'
And I was hoping it's not the start of a bitter end
Could it be that your something
Is someone else
Only time will tell
I thought I knew me so well
I shouldn't put me through this hell


Something's always getting in between
And it's always rippin' at the seams
Something's always messing with my vision


10.Gettin' It On

come and pull up a chair - i want you facin me

and it's me who will kick it and let it slide
what i need is to hit it

so we just keep on gettin it on


11.Done

i wanna letcha know
while im still standing here
im not hopeless but i cant forget about it
no matter where i go im gonna take it
you're never gonna see me lost or lonely
there are so many things i'll never get to say
but i know you dont care - think you can live w/ out it?
i bruise so easily but it comes back to me
remembering the words of what you told me
thinking you could actually control me you...

took what you needed, i am still breathin, i am still feelin the
warmth of the sun
im not gonna fade away this time and you know i gotta tell you
when you do watcha do, im not done...

you made me stronger than, than im supposed to be
my heart is a lot thats depending on me
you're such a no-where man who'd never understand
and from the very moment that you hurt me
i realize you really dont deserve me you...

took what you needed, i am still breathin, i am still feelin the
warmth of the sun
im not gonna fade away this time and you know i gotta tell you
when you do watcha do, im not done...

what you call love is something eles
if you just want it for yourself

remembering the words of what you told me
thinking you could actually control me you...

took what you needed, i am still breathin, i am still feelin the
warmth of the sun
im not gonna fade away this time and you know i gotta tell you
when you do watcha do, im not done...

the warmth of the sun
im not gonna fade away this time and you know i gotta tell you

not done...
cuz i still feel the warmth of the sun...
