The Songs of Loose

Lyrics

I looked at your face
I saw that all the love had died
I saw that we had forgotten to take the time
I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do
You couldn't care less about the lies
You couldn't find the time to cry

We forgot about love
We forgot about faith
We forgot about trust
We forgot about us

And now our love’s floating out the window
Our love’s floating out the back door
Our love’s floating up in the sky
In heaven
Where it began
Back in God’s hands

You said that you had said all that you had to say
You said “baby it’s the end of the day”
We gave a lot but it wasn’t enough
We got so tired that we just gave up

Now our love’s floating out the window
Our love’s floating out the back door
Our love’s floating up in the sky
In heaven
Where it began
Back in God’s hands
Back in God’s hands

We didn't respect it
We went and neglected it
I didn't deserve it
But I never expected this

Our love floated out the window
Our love floated out the back door
Our love floated up in the sky
To heaven
It’s part of a plan
It’s back in God’s hands
Back in God’s hands

Oh it didn't last
It’s a thing of the past
No I didn't understand
Oh just what we had
Oh I want it back
Just what we had
I want it back
Oh just what we had

Lyrics

I know you're trying to get around me baby
I know you've got me in your heart baby
I know that you could love me
If you only had a guarantee

When I look at your face it's so empty
I know I could fill you with love baby
Your soul is crying for me
Can't deny our energy

And you're far, I'm near
You're there, I'm here
You're hurting for me
I can see it in your eyes
Some of the hardest things
Are easy to achieve with patience

I'll wait for you until the heavens fall
I'll wait for you until the end of the world
I'll wait for you until I no longer breathe
I know that's it's not impossible
I'll wait for you until you finish your fight
I'll wait for you until the timing is right
I'll wait for you until you knock on my door
Cause right now it's feeling just like a movie

Yeah, yeah
Just like a movie
Yeah, yeah

I know that this is hard for you
Want you to know that I'm feeling it too
It's taken some time but now I see everything
It's so clear to me
I can't give up your love without dying baby
I'll wait until the sea is dry baby
How do we know what love is until it is free?

And you're far, I'm near
You're there, I'm here
You're hurting for me
I can see it in your eyes
Some of the hardest things
Are easy to achieve with patience

I'll wait for you until the heavens fall
I'll wait for you until the end of the world
I'll wait for you until I no longer breathe
I know that's it's not impossible
I'll wait for you until you finish your fight
I'll wait for you until the timing is right
I'll wait for you until you knock on my door
Cause right now it's feeling just like a movie

Yeah, yeah
Just like a movie
Yeah, yeah

You don't gotta do anything that you can't do
You don't gotta do anything in a hurry
You don't gotta do anything in a hurry
I know you're there, you got me
You don't gotta do anything that you can't do
You don't gotta do anything in a hurry
You don't gotta do anything so don't worry
I trust you, and I know you're there
I know you're there

Just like a movie
Just like a movie

I'll wait for you until the heavens fall
I'll wait for you until the end of the world
I'll wait for you until I no longer breathe
I know that's it's not impossible
I'll wait for you until you finish your fight
I'll wait for you until the timing is right
I'll wait for you until you knock on my door
Cause right now it's feeling just like a movie

Yeah, yeah
Just like a movie
Yeah, yeah

Lyrics

Honestly, what will become of me?
I don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really, life is daily
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Travelling, I always stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

The dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die
The dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die

The dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day
Until the feeling went away
And the sky was falling, and the clouds were dropping
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die

Lyrics

You’ve got your ways and I’ve got mine
It’s taking up a lot of my time
Waiting for you to adore me
Come sit and drink from my cup
Don’t leave until you’re filled up
You’re tired of all of your traveling

I don’t need nothing at all
Nothing but your kiss
And nothing but your arms
I don’t need nothing at all

But somebody to love
Somebody to hold
Somebody that I can feel in my blood
Somebody to hold
Somebody to own
Somebody to make me feel I’m in love

I know I’m missing for a word
I’m not trying to say a thing
I’m trying to live in this moment
Come as sinl, what do you say?
Tell me how long will it take
To unravel your body

I don’t need nothing at all
Nothing but your touch
And nothing but your hand
I don’t need nothing at all

But somebody to love
Somebody to hold
Somebody that I can feel in my blood
Somebody to hold
Somebody to own
Somebody to make me feel I’m in love

?

I need somebody to love
Somebody to hold
Somebody that I can feel in my blood
Somebody to hold
Somebody to own
Somebody to make me feel I’m in love

Somebody to love
Somebody to hold
Somebody that I can feel in my blood
Somebody to hold
Somebody to own
Somebody to make me feel I’m in love

Lyrics

I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly
F-U-R-T-A-D-O
I'm on your radio
F-U-R-T-A-D-O
I'm on your video
Holler if you hear me, yo
I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly, I'm Nelly

Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Play me something that'll make me jump around

Let's flow with this
Let's get to know with this
Let's hit the show with this
Let's fly like a crow with this

Or do you wanna be my raven?
I could be your star, maybe
Or we could make a little haven
Tell me what you're craving

Let's make a dust bowl
We'll hit it like the Rose Bowl
I do like sports
But I don't like wearing shorts

It's OK, we can do it in the dark
If you got a candle let's light a spark
Everybody looks good in good lighting
Hey we can do it, we can go down fighting here

Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Play me something that'll make me jump around

Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Play me something that'll make me jump around

It’s Nelly on the mic
Feeling a’right
And you can have a bite
But not tonight

You can call me Nicole
Give me something to eat of
I heard you're chickety-chic-o
Like a stay at the Ritz-Carl

Yeah you like my map
Yeah it's all that
Let's start a frat
Gamma Gamma Gamma Phat

You know you like the vodka
You like the way we rock ya
Hey I'm your amore
Come here baby wanna pour you something more-eh

Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Play me something that'll make me jump around

Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Bring me something that'll make me jump around

This is my flow
(My hair down)
This is my flow
(My hair down)
(Jump around)
This is my flow
(My hair down)
This is my flow
(My hair down)
(Jump around)

This is my flow...

Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Play me something that'll make me jump around

Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Baby I wanna let my hair down
Play me something that'll make me jump around

Lyrics

I turned my head away
I didn’t wanna hear what you said
You had changed your mind

I showed up insecure
But I thought you would be sure
I guess I had a lost sight

But at the end of my life
I’ll look back on my life
And I’ll know that my life was good
At the end of my life
I’ll look back on my life
And see I went after you like I should

I went after what I wanted
I went after what I wanted
And I never really got it
But it don’t matter at all

I guess it was a lot
To ask for these things we’d lost
I guess it was just a dream

And time changes many things
But my heart, it still sings for you
I don’t know why

But at the end of my life
I’ll look back on my life
And I’ll know that my life was good
At the end of my life
I’ll look back on my life
And see I went after you like I should

I went after what I wanted
I went after what I wanted
And I never really got it
But it don’t matter at all

I thought I’d spend my last days holding your hand
And now all of my senses lie dead on the floor

But at the end of my life
I’ll look back on my life
And I’ll know that my life was good
At the end of my life
I’ll look back on my life
And see I went after you like I should

I went after what I wanted
I went after what I wanted
And I never really got it
(I never really got it)
Everything else, I lost it

I went after what I wanted
(Ooh, you had to go your own way)
I went after what I wanted
(And I had to go mine)
And the rest don’t really matter
It don’t matter at all

It don't matter at all

Lyrics

Yeah I like your style
Coming at me, coming at me, coming all the while, yeah
And I like to stare
When you walk by, when you walk by
There’s something in the air, yeah
And I like to wait (wait)
Oh I’ve never seen myself in such a crazy
I’m not insane
But I already have your number and I know your name

And I think I'd like to know you
Cause then maybe I’d see right through you
I'd kinda like to get to know you
But then maybe baby I’d see right through you

Why you got your head down?
Why you looking at the ground?
Shifting your eyes away
I wanna talk straight
Are you on the getaway?
I’m on to your games
Everything you say
Is on delay

I can’t get in if you keep on running
I can’t get in if your heart keeps jumping
You've got another lover
You’re still undercover

And you look so good
I like you so bad I gotta knock on wood, yeah
You know I want you
So you keep me hanging in the ring, you know you do
That’s how you play (play)
I don’t care cause’ I’ll be here anyway
And I’ll play your game
As long as I can win it at the end of the day

And I think I'd like to know you
Cause then maybe I’d see right through you
I'd kinda like to get to know you
But then maybe baby I’d see right through you

Why you got your head down?
Why you looking at the ground?
Shifting your eyes away
I wanna talk straight
Are you on the getaway?
I’m on to your games
Everything you say
Is on delay

I can’t get in if you keep on running
I can’t get in if your heart keeps jumping
You've got another lover
You’re still undercover

Watch, watch it now, watch it come around the corner
Watch, watch it now, watch it come around the corner
Watch, watch it now, watch it come around the corner
You turn your head around like you was a transformer

Watch, watch it now, watch it come around the corner
Watch, watch it now, watch it come around the corner
Watch, watch it now, watch it come around the corner
You turn my head around like I was a transformer

Why you got your head down?
Why you looking at the ground?
Shifting your eyes away
Are you on the getaway?
I’m on to your games
I’m one of your games
Everything you say
Is on delay

I can’t get in if you keep on running
I can’t get in if your heart keeps jumping
You've got another lover
You’re still undercover

Why you got your head down?
Why you looking at the ground?
Shifting your eyes away
I wanna talk straight
Are you on the getaway?
I’m on to your games
Everything you say
Is on delay

I can’t get in if you keep on running
I can’t get in if your heart keeps jumping
You've got another lover
You’re still undercover

Whoo hoo, whoo hoo
I'm not the only one
Whoo hoo, whoo hoo
I'm not the only one
Whoo hoo, whoo hoo
I'm not the only one
The only one

Lyrics

There are only two places I could go
One is dark and it feels so hollow
And it lets me in only to swallow
Too much water till I drown, baby

And the other place is calm and sweet
I can almost feel wings beneath my feet
And I don't care if it feels too deep
I like it, I like it

And I know you wanna take a chance
And I know you wanna understand me
And let me in

But you run away from what you know
And you run away from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time, show me your love tonight

There are only two places that I seek
One is strong and the other one feels so weak
And this flame is so strange to me
But it's all I see, baby

And I know you wanna let it go
And I know you wanna flow with this love
But you can't

So you run away from what you know
And you run away from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time, show me your love tonight
Oh yeah, tonight

Only angels know what I know
You're an angel that sings to me
It's the greatest secret of all:
I am free from thinking

But you run away from what you know
And you run away from what you don't
So I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time, let's make love

Don't run away from what you know
Don't run away just let it go
Cause I don't wanna wait for you to tell me what's right
Don't fight it, let's make love tonight
Oh yeah, tonight
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah
Let's make love tonight

Stars is an unreleased song that was performed in the European leg of the Get Loose Tout during 2007.

Lyrics

There are so many stars in the sky tonight
Which one will I take in my hand?
There are so many ways I could live a life
Which one will I make part of my plan?
There are so many spirits in the air tonight
Trying to pull me away

You're a part of me
You're in every breath that I breathe
And every step forward that I take
And then I take a step backwards
When I can't see your face

You're a part of me
You're in every song that I sing
And every bird that sings to me
This is what I dream
To be real
This is my reality

There are so many songs in people’s faces
Every one could be yours, but they're not
And all is lost if it can’t be true
To my own heart

You're a part of me
You're in every breath that I breathe
And every step forward that I take
And then I take a step backwards
When I can't see your face

You're a part of me
You're in every song that I sing
And every bird that sings to me
This is what I dream
To be real
This is my reality

Because my heart is a lonely hunter
Dying to strike out
Grabbed you into my world
When you didn't even ask
But you always knew
That you had a pass

You're a part of me
You're in every breath that I breathe
And every step forward that I take
And then I take a step backwards
When I can't see your face

You're a part of me
You're in every word that I sing
And every word that speaks to me
This is what I believe
To be real
This is my reality
I live in this sea

There are so many stars in the sky tonight

I Am leaked in December of 2005, six months before Loose was released. It was the first song from the album to leak, and apparently the only one not intended to.

Lyrics

I think I've been here before
Yeah I've been right here
With you walking out the door
And I won't fight it
I think you already know
Don't try to hide it
You know this time I will go
And I won't come back

You said you would
Be so different
And your old habits
You would switch them
Look at this picture
Could it get any clearer?
But you’re wasting my time

And if you see me walking by
You don't have to spend your time
Asking me if I'm alright
Do I look smarter?
Do I look stronger?
Does it make you wonder?
Well I am
Well I am

I think I've seen you before
With that sullen face
Telling me that you don't know why I'm so angry
While you were having some fun
You left me right here
You said you loved me so much

And I don't want you
To say you're sorry
I know it's a
Deeper story
You're not fine, well
I'll ignore it
Cause I made up my mind

And if you see me walking by
You don't have to spend your time
Asking me if I'm alright
Do I look smarter?
Do I look stronger?
Does it make you wonder?
Well I am
Well I am

Look at the stars now baby
Don't it just drive you crazy?
And you said:
Baby they calling out you're name”
And I said:
Maybe I don't want to be your baby no more

And if you see me walking by
You don't have to spend your time
Asking me if I'm alright
Do I look smarter?
Do I look stronger?
Does it make you wonder?
Well I am
Well I am

And if you see me walking by
You don't have to spend your time
Asking me if I'm alright
Do I look smarter?
Do I look stronger?
Does it make you wonder?
Well I am
Well I am

Don’t you wonder
Don’t you worry
Don’t you think about me baby
No, no, no

No, don’t you wonder
Don’t you worry
