I Hope You’re Happy.

Did you ever love someone so much it hurt,
They say that they love you, but treat you like dirt,
They never once told you how they really felt,
Then your heart turns to ice and your love for them melts,
And you’re left in a world so empty and free,
You’re everything you tried not to be,
You beg them to stay, but you know that you’re through,
And you can’t believe this is happening to you,
And please don’t say you didn’t know this could be,
‘Cos you did it to us, Babe, yeah, you did it to me,

Baby, why did you let me get hurt,
‘Cos it didn’t get better, it just got worse,
You know, I tho’t love was great, but it seems like a curse,
On me, o’, how could it be,
I’ve been lied to and cheated and now I’ve been used,
If you didn’t love me how could you let me love you,
And now you can see what a love can do,
To me, o’ how could it be,
I hope you’re happy… you’re free,

Did you think that my love would just go away,
The minute you didn’t want me to stay,
No, I still have my love for you inside,
And I shouldn’t try to hide what’s so easy to find,
And I can’t seem to say don’t worry about me,
I’ll be fine tomorrow morning just wait and see,
I could never say something so wrong and so dumb,
Anyway, I’ve heard tomorrow never comes,
And I can’t say I hate you ‘cos I never will,
But I can say I love you ‘cos that’s how I feel,

Baby, why did you let me get hurt,
‘Cos it didn’t get better, it just got worse,
You know, I tho’t love was great, but it seems like a curse,
On me, o’, how could it be,
I’ve been lied to and cheated and now I’ve been used,
If you didn’t love me how could you let me love you,
And now you can see what a love can do,
To me, o’ how could it be,
I hope you’re happy… you’re free,

When you got to know me did I get kind of old,
What was it in me that turned your love kind of cold,
Did your eyes see a person much better than me,
Was it something in you or was it something in me,
Do me a favor, don’t be so immature,
The next time you love someone for their sake be sure,
‘Cos they’ll be saying what I say to myself,
Baby, why couldn’t you pick on somebody else,
Then they’ll be hurtin’ just like me,
They never knew how sad they could be,

And they realize you didn’t really love them at all,
You’re just building emotions and watching them fall,
And you’ll find yourself living a life of ease,
The life of a flirt, yeah, the life of a tease,
You’ll keep on hurtin’ again and again,
Do you fall in love to impress your friends,
No, that ain’t why, it’s all your fault,
‘Cos people like you don’t have friends at all,
They’re either your love or at one time they were,
Yeah, and one of these days you’ll get what you deserve,

You’re gonna find a love that is true,
And, Baby, he’s gonna walk out on you,
You’ll scream and yell and kick and cry,
And search and never find out why,
Then maybe you’ll realize what you’ve done to me,
The last love you faked and everyone in between,
Then you’ll be saying what I did at first,
Did you ever love someone so much it hurt,
And please don’t say you didn’t know this could be,
‘Cos you did it to us, Babe, yeah, you did it to me,

Baby, why did you let me get hurt,
‘Cos it didn’t get better, it just got worse,
You know, I tho’t love was great, but it seems like a curse,
On me, o’, how could it be,
I’ve been lied to and cheated and now I’ve been used,
If you didn’t love me how could you let me love you,
And now you can see what a love can do,
To me, o’ how could it be,
I hope you’re happy… you’re free.

Do You Know?

Do You Know?

Do you know how much I care for you?
Deep inside; I know you do,
But let me tell you anyway,
So if anyone asks you; you can say,
Billy thinks the world of me,
This I know is true,
'Cos when I say, "I love you, Billy",
He says, "I love you, too".

Taegu Rap.

Taegu Rap.

I was sittin' in the good ol' USA,
Mindin' my own, makin' my way,
When my friend called from CBPO,
He said, 'say guess where you're gonna go',
I said 'Hawai'i'... he said, 'no',
'Australia'... 'not you',
'Not Korea... o' no',
He said, 'hell yeah, Taegu',
Taegu rap,

Now the next thing that I had to do,
Was to pack my bags (get ready to move),
I told all the guys at work goodbye,
I kissed all the girls (and made them cry),
Gotta find me a compass and a map,
That'll point me to (the Taegu rap),
Taegu rap,

I got to 'Frisco without a hitch,
But the (damn) date line (sure was a bitch),
Off my plane and into Seoul,
The Daegu train (gettin' ready to roll),
So damn tired I need to nap,
But I gotta get on (the Taegu rap),
Taegu rap,

Off the train, I had to hop,
'Cos I swear that thing just barely stopped,
Picked up myself (grabbed my bags),
Gotta find me a north bound kimchae cab,
Shared the ride with a brotha blue,
Yo, odashi... K2!

Ephemeral Bliss.

Ephemeral Bliss.

You know how to make me happy,
You know how to make me laugh,
You know how to drive me crazy,
But don't know how to make it last,
O', you can make me so angry,
You can make me wanna cry,
You can make me wanna hang up,
You can make me wonder why,

O', I don't wanna live without you,
But I don't wanna live with this,
'Cos I don't wanna live forever,
In ephemeral bliss,
O', if love with you is this,
I've just gotta call it quits,
'Cos I don't wanna live forever,
In ephemeral bliss,

Hey, I know how to move you,
I know how to treat you right,
I know how to make you tremble,
But don't know how to make you mine,
O', I can make you worry,
I can make you wanna say... hey,
I can make you hurt so badly,
I can make you run away,

O', I don't wanna live without you,
But I don't wanna live with this,
'Cos I don't wanna live forever,
In ephemeral bliss,
O', if love with you is this,
I've just gotta call it quits,
'Cos I don't wanna live forever,
In ephemeral bliss,

Yeah, we know how to make a love,
We know how to take it high,
We know how to give it wings,
But don't know how to make it fly,
O', we can make it okay,
We can make it just so,
We can make it last a day,
But can we make it... I don't know,

O', I don't wanna live without you,
But I don't wanna live with this,
'Cos I don't wanna live forever,
In ephemeral bliss,
O', if love with you is this,
I've just gotta call it quits,
'Cos I don't wanna live forever,
In ephemeral bliss,

Yeah, ephemeral bliss,
O', ephemeral bliss,
I don't wanna live forever,
In ephemeral bliss.

Fearless Wings.

Fearless Wings.

I wanna fly you to Paris France,
And meet you in the Eiffel Tower,
Or maybe; if I can't,
I'll meet you in the morning shower,

O', Zoey; o', Zoey,
Let's take a little time out today,
And fly away on fearless wings,
To a place where our hearts can stay,
O', Zoey, o', Zoey,
What do you say,

I wanna fly you to Frankfurt Germany,
And save you from your castle home,
Or maybe; if I can't,
I'll save you from being alone,

O', Zoey; o', Zoey,
Let's take a little time out today,
And fly away on fearless wings,
To a place where our hearts can stay,
O', Zoey, o', Zoey,
What do you say,

I wanna fly you to Moscow Russia,
And take you to a circus now,
Or maybe; if I can't,
I can still be your clown,

O', Zoey; o', Zoey,
Let's take a little time out today,
And fly away on fearless wings,
To a place where our hearts can stay,
O', Zoey, o', Zoey,
What do you say,

O', Zoey, o', Zoey,
Okay.

Never (From the album: "Sex & Virginty Doesn't Mix)".

Never (From the album: "Sex & Virginity Doesn't Mix").

I never had a lover who never had a lover; never,
I've been lookin' for one, but it seems I've been lookin' forever,
And if I ever find her I know she will take me to heaven,
But I never had a lover who never had a lover; never,

In my private world,
Women have come and gone,
A lot of them say the will,
And some of them say they won't,
But I have come to find,
When you think you're right; you're wrong,
'Cos I have never found,
A woman that says she don't,

O', I never had a lover who never had a lover; never,
I've been lookin' for one, but it seems I've been lookin' forever,
And if I ever find her I know she will take me to heaven,
But I never had a lover who never had a lover; never,

Once I had a girl,
I tho't would be my queen,
But it seems I couldn't separate,
Reality from the dream,
I tho't she was the loveliest,
Girl I'd ever seen,
But even tho' I was true to her,
She wasn't true to me,

Now I have you,
You say you've had other men,
Some of them gone forever,
Some of them still good friends,
And now I come to find,
From the love you give to me,
The purest part of a woman's love,
Is her faith and honesty,

O', I never had a lover who never had a lover; never,
I've been lookin' for one, now it seems like the lookin' is over,
I found me a lover and my lover, she takes me to heaven,
But I never had a lover who never had a lover; never,

No, I never had a lover who never had a lover; no, never.
