GIRLS ALOUD - 'Teenage Dirtbag'
His name is Noel
I have a dream about him
He rings my bell
I got gym class in half an hour
Oh, how he rocks
In Keds and tube socks
But he doesn't know who I am
And he doesn't give a damn about me
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Listen to Iron Maiden
Baby, with me, ooh
His girlfriend's a bitch
She brings a gun to school
And she'd simply kick
My ass if she knew the truth
She lives on my block
She drives and I rock
And she doesn't know who I am
And she doesn't give a damn about me
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Listen to Iron Maiden
Baby, with me, ooh
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, he doesn't know what he's missing
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, he doesn't know what he's missing
Man, I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely
Low and behold
He's walking over to me
This must be fake
My lip starts to shake
How does he know who I am?
And why does he give a damn about me?
I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe
I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Like you, ooh
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, he doesn't know what he's missing
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, he doesn't know what he's missing
FIFTH HARMONY - 'Me and my Girls'
And we play our favorite songs
And we scream out all night long
Like ooh ooh ooh
When it's just me and my girls
All the lights, turn them off
It's too loud in here to talk
I don't understand a word you say
Gotta sleep but instead
Karaoke on the bed
Taking duck face selfies right and left
We get crazy with it, we get stupid with it
We don't care if people stare
And when we wobble with it
We get diva on it
We get queen bee on it yeah
We get britney, demi, one direction, bieber on it
And we play our favorite songs
And we scream out all night long
Like ooh ooh ooh
When it's just me and my girls
And we dance like no one's watching
We crack up, booty poppin'
Like ooh ooh ooh
When it's just me and my girls
Watch me now
Me and my girls
My voice is gone, got my favorite PJ's on
Times like this don't always come along
You're all I need, there's nowhere I'd rather be
Then to have you crazy freaks with me
We get crazy with it, we get stupid with it
We don't care if people stare
And when we wobble with it
We get diva on it
We get queen bee on it yeah
We get britney, demi, one direction, bieber on it
And we play our favorite songs
And we scream out all night long
Like ooh ooh ooh
When it's just me and my girls
And we dance like no one's watching
We crack up, booty poppin'
Like ooh ooh ooh
When it's just me and my girls
Watch me now
Me and my girls
Break it down
Now break it down
Now break it down
Now break it down
(repeat once)
And we play our favorite songs
And we scream out all night long
Like ooh ooh ooh
When it's just me and my girls
And we dance like no one's watching
We crack up, booty poppin'
Like ooh ooh ooh
When it's just me and my girls
Watch me now.
THE FADERS - 'No Sleep Tonight'
I got you, I got you on my mind
And it's time to make you see (what I want)
So I'll just make this a little more obvious
'Cos I get what I want
And I want you to get with me
Don't think you know
How far I'm gonna go
You can't stop this feeling
You can't run away
Baby I'm what's on your mind
You can't stop this feeling
There's no escape
No sleep tonight
You won't get no sleep tonight
You want me,
You want me all the time
And you don't need nothing else
But you seem to be a little oblivious
So I'll show you the way
If you think that you need some help
Tell me baby
Are you coming with me
You can't stop this feeling
You can't run away
Baby I'm what's on your mind
You can't stop this feeling
There's no escape
No sleep tonight
You won't get no sleep tonight
No sleep tonight
No sleep tonight
Boy you won't be sleeping
No sleep tonight
Do I have to spell it out in black and white
Boy you won't be sleeping
No sleep tonight
Do I have to spell it out in black and white
No sleep tonight
No sleep tonight
No sleep tonight
