1.Looking For A Girl
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
I been looking for a girl who drinks and smokes
Who takes a lot of work but can take a joke
Where does this girl of mine hide herself away?
Whoever she is I hope she's on her way
I been looking for a girl, I been looking for a girl
I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me
I been looking for a girl who is good in bed
But knows when it's time to knock it on the head
I guess it's good loving that I want the most
Someone who turns my bread into buttered toast
I been looking for a girl, I been looking for a girl
I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me
I been looking for a girl who won't scream and shout
When I disappear for weeks like a roustabout
This kind of good loving is hard to find
The perfect combination of the cruel and kind
I been looking for a girl, oh, I been looking for a girl
I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me
I see those couples go streaming by
Looking so easy like they don't even try
It's like a magic trick, sleight of hand
Sawn in half by a golden band, oh
I been looking for a girl easy on the eye
But not so fucking stupid that I want to cry
I know God doesn't give with both his hands
So I guess I just need someone I can stand
I been looking for a girl, I been looking for a girl
I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me, yeah, yeah
I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me, oh
I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me
2.Delilah
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
Well, you and I were meant to be
And in the end I know you'll see
That we can never be just friends
Our only love will never end, Delilah, oh Delilah
Just think about the way we were
A perfect set of his 'n' hers
Why does a man have to resist
A never ending happiness? Delilah, oh Delilah
I got myself out of the way
My debt to you is never paid
I was a fool to let you go
I'm sorry and I love you so, Delilah, oh Delilah
I think about you every day
And I'm sorry for the things I said
My perfect love, my closest friend
Oh Delilah
Well, you and I were meant to be
And in the end I know you'll see
That we can walk around like friends
But soon this day will have to end, Delilah, oh Delilah
Delilah, were meant to be, Delilah oh, oh Delilah
3.I Feel
Lyricist:Adam Thompson
Well, it's gone or it's going, this feeling I know it
And there's nothing I can do to bring it back
It was love if I wanted but I chose to ignore it
It was nothing that you did or should've done
I feel so unclear
(The rise, the fall, the pain)
I feel so much fear
(It's coming back again)
I feel, I feel, I feel
There's a road that I travel and it's long and it's narrow
Without signs along the way to take you home
You were there when I needed something to believe in
But I'll only let you down and break your heart
I feel so unclear
(The rise, the fall, the pain)
I feel so much fear
(It's coming back again)
I feel, I feel, I feel
Oh, and it's coming apart at the seams
Oh, and I'm bleeding into my dreams
I feel so unclear
(The rise, the fall, the pain)
Always so much fear
(It's coming back again)
I feel so unclear
(The rise, the fall, the pain)
I feel, I feel, I feel
4.Over And Over
Over and over the same is the same
I make mistakes then I make them again
I find it comfortable here
Repeating myself cuts the fear
Some time ago I came up with a plan
Shit on myself so that no one else can
I have perfected this stance
You better keep your distance
All of my life I've been just getting by
Minimum due, let the balance ride
Why do I think I can cheat
This ain't a system to beat
Love that I think I can stay on this track
All that you take you will have to give back
And I have been taking a lot
All of this fruit's gonna rot
There is a place where the happiness flows
Sunshine, lollipops, rainbows
I think I'll go there one day
Book for a week but then stay
5.Take Me Back Again
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
I'm hoping that you'll take me back again
How many times can I mess up again?
I've had my chance at this romance
But I'm hoping that you'll take me back, back again
I could have made some better choices here
And there were times I guess I didn't care
But all along you were the one
I'm hoping that you'll take me back, back again
I know you're hoping to move on
But now I've written you this song
You may resist, oh but I insist
So let's get back to where we were, we were
I'm hoping that you'll take me back again
I'm hoping that you'll take me back again
I'm hoping that you'll take me, I'm hoping that you'll take me
I'm hoping that you'll take me back again, oh
Take me back again, oh
I'm hoping that you'll take me back again, oh
I'm hoping that you'll take me, you'll take me
You'll take me back again, you'll take me back again
6.Tell Me What You Want
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
Baby, tell me what you want
I'll do anything you want
I want a love that can be true
Someone who'll love me through and through
Baby, I can give you that
No problem, oh, I can give you that
Well yeah, you said that once before
And then you walked right out my door
Baby, tell me what you want
Baby, tell me what you want
Baby, tell me what you want
I've got everything you want
I want a love that can be true
Someone who'll love me through and through
Baby, tell me what you want
Baby, tell me what you want
Oh, tell me what you want
I want a love that can be true
Tell me what you want
Someone who'll love me through and through
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
7.Home
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
Home is where you go
When you're feeling low
Mum will wash your clothes
Tell you how you've grown, home, home
Can't sleep in too late
Bed's got to be made
Breakfast table's laid
Eat, you'll waste away, home, home
Fall right back into the family embrace
All smiles and good times
Well, for the first few days
Then you can't wait to go home, home, home
Home is where you go
When you need to know
Wherever you roam
You can always go home, home, home, home
8.The Next One
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
There you are on my street
Standing where we used to meet
I look like I just woke up
You look beautiful as ever
Oh, why did you have to come back now?
I was just about to feel okay
Don't ask me how I'm doing
What's the perfect thing to say?
Oh, take me to the next one
Fast forward me to someone new
Take me to the next one
It's the best thing I can do to get me over you
Spring is here in New York
Everybody's outside
And I would rather run
Into any other body in this town
Oh, leaving it the way we did
Well, it feel so open ended
I can tell you that I'm happy
'Cause we're just pretending
Oh, take me to the next one
Fast forward me to someone new
Oh, take me to the next one
It's the best thing I can do to get me over you
How's it done? The great undo
All we did, now I do, now I do
Oh, take me to the next one
Fast forward me to someone new
Oh, take me to the next one
It's the best thing I can do
Oh, take me to the next one
Fast forward me to someone new
Oh, take me to the next one
It's the best thing I can do to get me over you
Oh, to get me over you
9.Take Care Of Yourself
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
It's time for us to part
Yeah, it's best for us to part
Oh, but I love you, ooh, I love you
Take care of yourself, I'll miss you
The nights are long alone
I sit alone and moan
Oh, 'cause I love you, ooh, I love you
Take care of yourself, I'll miss you
And no more tears to cry
I'm out of goodbyes
It's time for us to part
Although it breaks my heart
Oh, 'cause I love you, ooh, I love you
Take care of yourself, take care of yourself
Take care of yourself, I love you
10.The One I Can't Have
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
I was born with a love disease
It's known as chronic hard to please
I want the one I can't have
Given choices A and B
I'll probably go with option C, oh
I want the one I can't have
There's so many beautiful girls
In this beautiful world
But I want the one I can't have
The one I can't have
I know this girl she thinks I'm fine
And I could have her anytime
But I want the one I can't have
Swearing true love 'til the end
I'm looking past her at her friend
Yeah, I want the one I can't have
There's so many beautiful girls
In this beautiful world
But I want the one I can't have
I saw this actress on TV
I think she is the one for me, yeah
I want the one I can't have
I opened up this magazine
I fell in love on page 13, yeah
I want the one I can't have
There's so many beautiful girls
In this beautiful world
But I want the one I can't have
The one I can't have
11.Gotta Have Someone
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
You gotta have someone to hold, you really do
The older that I get the more I see that's true
My longing for control is leaving me so cold
You gotta have someone, you really do
I thought that I could be alone, I really did
But now I'm wondering who it is I'm trying to kid
It's always been just me but now I think I see
You gotta have someone, you really do
It's gone so fast, over in a flash
What did you learn?
Who did you love?
You gotta have someone to hold, you really do
The further that I get the more I know that's true
And all the things I have, will never love me back
You gotta have someone, you really do
