Doin' Somethin' Right (Proper)

Van Atta High Doin' Somethin' Right (Proper) Lyrics
1.Doin' Somethin' Right


2.Birthday Girl

Baby, oh, you're a birthday girl tonight
Seventeen in the best years of your life
You say please, please, how could it be
That I'm so numb thinking 'bout these birds and bees
I'm a lone shark baby and I do it right
But not tonight

I'm not the one that you want
I'll only break your heart
But when I try, Oh, I try
You just never follow through

Baby girl, see the universe tonight
Anything if you just take the line
Snowed up no inhibitions
Goddamn girl use your intuition
Are you listening to me? (yeah)

I'm not the one that you want
I'll only break your heart
But when I try, Oh, I try
You just never follow through

You're just seventeen
Don't wait for me
I'll get you all worked up but
I'll never follow through at all, at all

I'll surround you, be all around you
But you could even care
I'll surround you, be all around you
But you could even care
I'll surround you, be all around you
But you could even care

Baby, oh, you're a birthday girl tonight

I'm not the one that you want
I'll only break your heart
But when I try, Oh, I try
You just never follow through

You're just seventeen
Don't wait for me
I'll get you all worked up but
I'll never follow through at all, at all


3.Shakin' In My Shoes


4.Hush Baby

Whoa-oh, I fell in love with a bad one (fell in love with a bad
one)
Darling, I caught you in a lie
Fat chance of a dance tonight
I know that I should have let you down
But I'm bound, I'm bound to torture

You tipped your head to the side and I screamed
Whoa-oh, I fell in love with a bad one

You were an enemy after all
Oh shut up, shut up it's not my fault
I'll always love you more, you dirty little
SHH baby!

You've got this oh so figured out
You make me sit and wait
And we don't talk for days
I never saw this coming on, but now I
Fall apart when you're here.

I guess you, guess you didn't know
I'm not afraid of being alone
In another hour I'll be gone

You were an enemy after all
Oh shut up, shut up it's not my fault
I'll always love you more, you dirty little
SHH baby!

Get up, get outa my head now honey
You've got, You've got some nerve to tell me
I'm a suspect now, but I'll always love you
I'll always love you more

The more you push me away, the more I want to stay
Don't speak to me, Cuz I dont think I'll breathe
Don't you even try to look me in the eye
Don't speak to me, Cuz I don't owe you anything
Don't you even try to look me in the eye

You were an enemy after all
Oh shut up, shut up it's not my fault
I'll always love you more, you dirty little
SHH baby!

Get up get out a my head now honey
You've got, You've got some nerve to tell me
I'm a suspect now, but I'll always love you
I'll always love you more

Whoa-oh I fell in love with a bad one.


5.Call Me Jersey

Tell me, tell me why the sun is shining out here in Jersey,
When you are nowhere near.

And it's so hard to keep a straight face,
When all I really wanna do is scream.
You'll let me know by letting me go.
It's your way to show you're running the show.

Right now I'm trying to smile.
You know it's been a while.
Right now it's fight or just flee.
You'll always remember me.

Tell me, tell me why the sun is shining out here in Jersey,
When you are nowhere near, but I didn't.
I guess I'm sorry is just too subtle for now.

I felt like falling was my cure.
I guess I'll never know for sure.
You put a spell on me, and now I'm yours.

Right now I'm trying to smile.
You know it's been a while.
Right now it's fight or just flee.
You'll always remember me.

Tell me, tell me why the sun is shining out here in Jersey,
When you are nowhere near.
It's easier to say I had this all figured out, but I didn't.
I guess I'm sorry is just too subtle for now.

My lungs are weak from being scared,
And I can't sleep.

Tell me, tell me why the sun is shining out here in Jersey,
When you are nowhere near.
It's easier to say I had this all figured out, but I didn't.
I guess I'm sorry is just too subtle for now.
Tell me, tell me why the sun is shining out here in Jersey,
When you are nowhere near.


6.Afternoon Delight

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Started out this morning feeling so polite

I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try
nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight!


7.Just Lie (Live)

This is crazy; the stopping and the stalling,
Because you can't keep control.
I know that you're not afraid to be straightforward,
But good girls just lie, that's right.
Good girls just lie.

You were a few things short of a good time.
With all things considered I came out as a winner.

I'd love to know where you get your ideas,
Because they sure as hell ain't from you.

Now, you're telling lies,
With something on your mind,
When will you look at me?
There's something I should see.
This change you're going through,
Might reveal some truth.
You'll scream alone when you're high.

You were a few things short of a good time.
With all things considered I came out as a winner.
Finding out what your life's about means everything right now.
It means everything right now.

Your hollowed out insides fill my mind with darkness tonight.

You're not a good time, but you should just lie.
Finding out what your life's about means everything right now.
It means everything right now.

9.Throw Away Heart (Live)

How could you breathe with all that smoke in you?
Looking at you was like seeing red in a sea of blue.
I could see right through all your dirty lies.
Now it's time to try to find a way back,
To undo this heart attack.

You said, 'Run away - nothing gold can stay.'
It's been so long since I felt this alone.
You ever coming back?
Just say you're coming back.

You cried,
'All I've got is this throw-away heart
with its skips and clicks and expiration date.'
I'm sorry sweetie that I couldn't save you from the dark.
It's so dark where you're going.
Where are you going?

Find a way back,
To undo this heart attack.

You said, 'Run away - nothing gold can stay.'
It's been so long since I felt this alone.
You ever coming back?
Just say you're coming back.

Run away, run away.
Never change, never change.
Run away, run away.
Stay the same, stay the same.

Run away, run away.
Never change, never change.
Run away, run away.
Stay the same, stay the same.

Find a way back,
To undo this heart attack.

You said, 'Run away - nothing gold can stay.'
It's been so long since I felt this alone.
You ever coming back?
Just say you're coming back.

You said, 'Run away - nothing gold can stay.'
It's been so long since I felt this alone.
You ever coming back?
Just say you're coming back.
