Dirty Dice Lyrics

Dirty Dice Lyrics
Artist(Band):Katie Melua

Got an angel, on one shoulder and a devil on the other,
And his good advice that I take.
I live with a sprinkle of a little sin,
When the world is asleep I'm awake.

With the roll of my dirty dice,
I'm only following the devil's advice.
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards,
But I never cheat at cards.

So you really think you're leading,
When we tango across the floor.
It's only cause my feet are out of sight.
Mine is the hand that spins you round,
Then it pushes you out into the night.

With the roll of my dirty dice,
I'm only following the devil's advice.
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards,
But I never cheat at cards.

With the roll of my dirty dice,
I'm only following the devil's advice.
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards,
But I never cheat at cards

In My Secret Life Lyrics

In My Secret Life Lyrics
Artist(Band):Katie Melua Review The Song (0)


I saw you this morning,
You were moving so fast.
Can't seem to loosen my grip,
On the past.
And I miss you so much,
There's no one in sight.
And we're still making love,
In my secret life.

I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do,
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth,
In my secret life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother,
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders,
I'll be marching through the morning.
Marching through the night,
Moving 'cross the borders,
Of my secret life.

Looked through the paper,
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people,
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking,
That it's either black or white.
Thank God it's not that simple,
In my secret life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told.
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone,
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold,
In my secret life

Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore Lyrics

(feat. Bon Jovi)

It might be hard to be lovers
But its harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
Its time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
Ill just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore

Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Dont you think its time we say
Some things we havent said
It aint too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why dont you look at me
Til we aint strangers anymore

Sometimes its hard to love me
Sometimes its hard to love you too
I know its hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life

With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore

[Solo]

Its hard to find forgivness
When we just run out of lies
Its hard to say youre sorry
When you cant tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So lets get down to it baby
There aint no need to lie

Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore

We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore

One Day Too Long Lyrics

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
one day to long

I'm the kind of woman who understands
How the road can be so hard on a traveling man
I don't mind giving you a little room to breathe
Then you go and take advantage of my generosity
I'm home, waiting
Alone, aching
Your times run out cause
Yesterday this love could have been saved
Just crawl back out ain't no way

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
One day too long

You know, I ain't a once in a while kind of thang
You see, love is being here for each other
Even with you standing right here, right now
right in front of my face
You're still looking right through me
Well, let me clear something up for you honey

I called you up
Told you I was
Missing, needing
To be soothed by you
Keep your reasons
I'm done pleasing
Ain't it funny now
I'm leaving, and your the one who's being left behind
God sent me a man who will give me my time

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
One day too long

Upper Hand Lyrics

Honey on a teaspoon
Sugar in a bowl
An eager man's always an easy catch
Butter on the skillet
Whisky in a glass
To start a flame you've got to light a match

Ooh you got what he wants
You got what he wants
Ooh

Got to get a hold, got to get a hold get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upperhand

Always be a lady
But tease him like a tramp
A temptation that's hard to resist
Treat him like a hero
Let him long to be your slave
Take advantage of your God given gift

Ooh you know what he wants
You know what he wants
ooh

Got to get a hold, got to get a hold get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upperhand

Generations before will testify it's true
Girl your gonna see how much he really loves you

Got to get a hold, got to get a hold get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upperhand

Pretty Things Lyrics

Mama's high heels, cherry lipstick
And a goodwill dress
Play pretending, danced for the mirror
A fairytale princess

Chorus

Pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thing soon you will know
Pretty things you think you need
But don't make you beautiful
Pretty things will rot with love
Pretty things will fade with time
It's what's inside that makes you shine
My pretty thing

It's only natural, the table's turning
And gracefully I'll learn
How to cradle the one who raised me
Will be too fragile for this world

Chorus

Selfless and faithful
As good as you should be
Open and fearless
Oh, what a gift you gave

Chorus

Nothin' Better To Do Lyrics

Hung my cotton dress on rusted wire
Up there on Pilahatchee Bridge
Just a crazy roughneck's daughter
Jumped head-first into the water
Baptized away my sins

Hitched to town with Bobby Jo and Tommy
Couple of lookers, new best friends
We slipped in the back of Sunday service
Know them church ladies, they heard us
Bum smoke money from the offering

Mama said, "Idle hands are Devil's handywork"
Oh, the trouble you'll get into
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do

Yeah!

Oh, yeah

Sign read: BAIT, CHIPS, BEER and AMMUNITION
That Slim-Jim bag boy hadn't a prayer
Well I hiked my skirt and did the talkin'
While them boys were busy walkin'
Case of .5 out the back door

Hid deep in the Mississippi backwoods
We danced and played around 'til dark
Well I had them wrestlin' for my first kiss
Turned into a fight and they missed
Me speeding off in Tommy's car

Mama said, "Idle hands are Devil's handywork"
Oh, the trouble you'll get into
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do

Yeah!

Nobody hurt, nobody harmed
Nobody's busines but my own

Mama said, "Idle hands are Devil's handwork
Oh, the trouble you'll get into!"
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do

Yeah!

Oh, yeah

Got nothin' better to do, babe
Got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, babe
Ya got nothin' better to do, no no
Got nothin' better to do babe
Ya got nothin' better to do, no no
Got nothin' better to do babe
You got nothin' better to do, no no!
