You Know Me Better - Roisin Murphy



I think we've waited
Long enough, baby
You know me
Only too well

I just thought someway I have to match you
So don't be defensive
No, no, don't try to pretend to
Look surprised

Have you ever known me?
Bit too shy to jump in
But when it comes to you
I can't win
'Cause you know me better than I know myself

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

Understand it
Nobody understands you
The way that I can
Let's see this thing through
One thing remaining
Things will never be the same again
After tonight

So let's get down to it
This thing is getting stronger and stronger
We need to take it further
I can't wait no longer of waiting my turn
I've waited in line

How long have I known you?
Not in all this time been untrue
I think I'm rolling free
Let me see this through
You know me better than I know myself

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself

How many years can we keep going on this way
Too afraid to learn to stay
Though I believe the friendship can survive
Maybe it won't if we do or we don't

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

You know me better than I know myself
You know me better than I know myself
You know me better than I know myself
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

Cry Baby - Roisin Murphy

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

To stay awake
You take a pill
You think you're moving
But you're standing still
You can't see
It's overkill
You think you're cruising
But it's all downhill

Maybe I can put you in the right direction
Call me if you can't decide
I believe you're beyond correction
Wouldn't be the first time I made you cry

Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time

This won't hurt
No not a bit
You better take your medicine
'Cause you are sick
Your blood burns cold
You want me to talk
You're a bad seed
Already sown

Maybe I can put you in the right direction
Call me if you can't decide
Calling back to me looking for redemption
Wouldn't be the first time I heard you cry

Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time

Who do you think it's to blame
Everybody but you
You couldn't care less about the things that you do
Sick of hearing you cry
Sick of hearing those lies
Tired of wiping the tears from your eye

Let go off me

Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

Overpowered - Roisin Murphy



When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered

Your dating my daughter
The chromosomes match
Exact doesn't matter
A matter of fact

These armoring feelings
A cognitive state
Need the love object
To reciprocate

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

A chemical reason
If reason's your game
A chemical needing
Is there in the brain

With preprogrammed meanings
Like a little more pep
Alien feelings
We have to accept

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

As science struggles onto try to explain
I see toxins flowing ever into my brain

As science struggles onto trial to explain
I see toxins flowing ever into my brain

Let Me Know - Roisin Murphy



Let me know when you're lonely babe

Happier now than I've been in the past
Gone are the days
Gone are the tears
That was a girl I used to be

The girl that you see standing in front of you
Keeps going on
Because she believes
In setting you freeeeeeee

So let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby

I turn the other way
I could never turn you down
You turn me on
Don't speak out every meaning
I don't belong to you
Like you don't belong to me
So don't hold on too tightly
There forever be

So let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby

Always say in this cynical thing
Hold me
No ball and chain
I risk my reputation
Just to get more
You always have the reservation
Come lay down beside
Beside me
Beside me

So let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
