The Hippos The Hippos Lyrics
1.Bad Grammar

I dig you cause your fashion is so keen
I dig the way you look in those tight jeans
And I don't wanna wait any longer to tell you
What's on my mind
I thought you'd want to know
What's driving me mad
Girl you got that certain something
I wish I had
I need so bad
I dig you cause your grammar is so good
You call me on my bad habits
I should pay more attention to my conversations with you
I thought you'd want to know
What's driving me mad
Girl you got that certain something
I wish I had
I need so bad
So I'm not over you at all
I miss that way you love to make me feel small
Won't you please come back to me?
I'll make you happy
You'll see
I thought you'd want to know
What's driving me mad
Girl you got that certain something
I wish I had
I need you so bad


2.Going Home

No man should see what these eyes have seen
The mess that I've cleaned
The people so green
Things that were said
Went straight to your head
Evil will show
You know how it's grown
With blood on the path
We will not do the math
We don't care
Oh
So it is told that the air will be cold over there
Please take good care
We're going home
We're going home
We're going home
Finally rest these old bones
His majesty sleeps high in the trees
Sends his palms spinning
From west to the east
Begging him please
To see how it feels
This wasn't agreed on
When they sign the deal
With blood on her path
We will not do the math
We don't care
Oh
So it is told that the air will be cold over there
Please take good care
We're going home
We're going home
We're going home
Finally rest these old bones
We're going home
We're going home
Finally rest these old bones
No man should see what these eyes have seen
The mess that I've cleaned
The people so green
Things that were said
Went straight to your head
Evil will show
With blood on her path
We will not do the math
We don't care
Oh
So it is told that the air will be cold over there
Please take good care
We're going home
We're going home
We're going home
Finally rest these old bones
Home
We're going home
We're going home
We're going home


3.Hold On

Lying in my bed today
Listen to my records play
Nothing seems to go my way
It?s out of my hands they say

It?s hard I know
It?s how it goes
Hold on hold on
Be strong

Raining summer days in May
Wishing for a sunny day
But nothing seems to go my way
It?s all in my head they say

It?s hard I know
It?s how it goes
Hold on hold on
Be strong

Ooooooo
Oh
Ooooooo

Hey! Oh! (X8)

Ooo, ooo
So listen to what I say
I don?t mean to sound clich?
But nothing seems to go my way
It?s never gonna go my way

It?s hard I know
It?s how it goes
Hold on hold on
Be strong
Yea

It?s hard I know
It?s how it goes
Hold on hold on
Be strong

Hold on
I?m finding out I?m on my own
Hold on
I?m going to leave them all alone
Hold on
I?m finding out I?m on my own
Hold on
I?m going to leave them all alone
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Be strong


4.I Know

You got me going like a wind up toy,
So pay attention to a broken boy.

You got me going and, well, I cannot stop,
And if you keep me going gonna see me pop.

I'm in love with what you do,
The way you lie, the touch of you.

Cells are filled into a smile,
The message can go for miles.
(All the perfect things you do)

I know what you're thinking when you cry.
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile.
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child,
I know you know...
(All the perfect things you do)

You got me going like a grade school crush,
My head is spinning and my face is flushed.
You got me going like a fast paced heart,
And if you keep me going, I'm gonna fall apart.

I can write a thousand words, useless nouns, and needless verbs.
I can shout a million times, 'till the neighbors hear my cries.
(All the perfect things you do)

I know what you're thinking when you cry.
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile.
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child,
I know you know...
(All the perfect things you do)

Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na,
Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na.

(You make me melt)

I know what you're thinking when you cry.
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile.
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child,
I know you know....
(All the perfect things you do)

Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na,
Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na.

I know what you're thinking when you cry.
I know what you're thinking when you smile.
I know that you're just a little child,
I know you know...
(All the perfect things you do)
