Don't Speak You and me We used to be together Every day together always I really feel I'm losing my best friend I can't believe This could be the end It looks as though you're letting go And if it's real, Well I don't want to know Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me 'cause it hurts Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me 'cause it hurts Our memories They can be inviting But some are altogether Mighty frightening As we die, both you and I With my head in my hands I sit and cry CHORUS It's all ending I gotta stop pretending who we are... You and me I can see us dying ... are we? CHORUS Just a Girl Take this pink ribhbon off my eyes I'm exposed And it's no big surprise Don't you think I know Exactly where I stand This world is forcing me To hold your hand 'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me Don't let me out of your sight I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite So don't let me have any rights Oh...I've had it up to here! The moment that I step outside So many reasons For me to run and hide I can't do the little things I hold so dear 'Cause it's all those little things That I fear 'Cause I'm just a girl. I'd rather not be 'Cause they won't let me drive Late at night I'm just a girl, Guess I'm some kind of freak 'Cause they all sit and stare With their eyes I'm just a girl. Take a good looks at me Just your typical prototype Oh...I've had it up to here! Oh...am I making myself clear? I'm just a girl I'm just a girld in the wordl... That's all that you'll let me be! I'm just a girl, living in captivity Your rule of thumb Make me worry some I'm just a girl, what's my destiny? What I've succumbed to Is making me numb I'm just a girl. my apologies What I've becocme is burdensome I'm just a girl. lucky me Twiddle-dum there's no camparison Oh...I've had it up to! Oh...I've had it up to!! Oh...I've had it up to here. Spiderwebs You think that we connect That the chemistry's correct Your words walk right through my ears Presuming I like what I hear And I'm stuck in the web You're spinning You've got me for your prey... Sorry, I'm not home right now I'm walking into spiderwebs So leave a message And I'll call you back A likely story, but leave a message And I'll call you back You take advantage of what's mine You're taking up my time Don't have the courage inside me To tell you please just let me be Communication, telephonic invasion I'm planning my escape... (CHORUS) And it's all your fault I screen my phone calls No matter who calls I gotta screen my phone calls Now it's gone too deep You wake me in my sleep My dreams become nightmares 'Cause you're ringing in my ears (CHORUS) Sunday Morning Sappy pathetic little me That was the girl I used to be You had me on my knees I'd trade you places any day I'd never thought you could be that way But you looked like me on Sunday You came in with the breeze On Sunday morning You sure have changed since yesterday Without any warning I thought I knew you I thought I knew you I thought I knew you well...so well You're trying my shoes on for a change They look so good but fit so strange Out of fashion, so I can't complain (CHORUS) I know who I am, but who are you? You're not looking like you used to You're on the other side of the mirror So nothing's looking quite as clear Thank you for turning on the lights Thank you, now you're the parasite I didn't think you had it in you And now you're looking like I used to! You came in with the breeze On Sunday morning You sure have changed since yesterday Without any warning And you want me badly You cannot have me I thought I knew you But I've got a new view I thought I knew you well...oh well Tragic Kingdom Once was a magical place Over time it was lost Price increased the cost Now the fortune of the kingdom Is locked up inside its dungeon vaults The castle floor lies in traps With coiled wires set back Decayed by old cheese Now the drawbridge has been lifted As the millions They drop to their knees They pay homage to a king Whose dreams are buried In their minds His tears are frozen stiff Icicles drip from his eyes The cold wind blows as it snows On those who fight to get in On heads that are small Disillusioned as they enter They're unaware what's Behind castle walls But now it's written in stone The king has been overthrown By jesterly fools And the power of the people Shall come to believe they do rule They pay homage to a king Whose dreams are buried In their minds His tears are frozen stiff Icicles drip from his eyes Welcome to the tragic kingdom Cornfields of popcorn Have yet to spring open Have they lost their heads Or are they just all blind mice We've heard all their stories One too many times Hypnotized by fireflies That glow in the dark Midgets that disguise themselves As tiny little dwarfs The parade that's electrical It serves no real purpose Just takes up a lot of juice Just to impress us Welcome to the tragic kingdom Cornfileds of popcorn Have yet to spring open
G.Stefani, T.Dumont
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
Yeah
New... you're so new
You... you're new
And I never had this taste in the past
New... you're so new
The normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your whim
Are you here to fetch me out?
'Cause I never had this taste in my mouth
Oh you're not old
And you're not familiar
Recently discovered
And I'm learning about you
New... you're so new
You... you're new
And you're consuming me violently
And you're ever shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac
'Cause I never had this taste in my past
Oh you're different
You're different from the former
Like a fresh battery
I'm energized by you
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
Why am I so curious
This territory's dangerous
I'll probably end up at the start
I'll be back in line with my broken heart
New... you're so new
You... you're new
And I never had this taste in the past
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
And I can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
New... you're so new
New... you're so new

I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
And you know it makes me sick to be on that list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
You say you’re gonna burn before you mellow
I will be the one to burn you
Why’d you have to go and pick me?
When you that we were different, completely
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
Your wildness scares me
So does your freedom
You say you can’t stand the restrictions
I find myself trying to change you
If you were meant to be my lover I wouldn’t have to
And I feel so mean, I feel in between
‘Cause I’m about to give you away
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend (for someone else to take)
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend (am I making a mistake?)
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them (all the time that we spent)
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girl, friend
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I’m about to give you away for someone else to take
I’m about to give you away for someone else to take
We keep repeating mistakes for souvenirs
And we’ve been in between the days for years
And I know that when I see you I’m going to die
I know I’m going to want you and you know why
It’s going to kill me to see you with the next girl
‘Cause I’m the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girl friend
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
