"Bring Me Back"

Funkanauts

Verse:
Momma, she was the queen
Queen of 8, galaxies
Papa, he was a profit
Who foresaw the melodies

Earth lost sight
Facing demise
We the funk shall rise

Chorus:
Funkanauts we are
Funkanauts intergalactic
Funkanauts all the way from
The Funkaphere
Funkanauts we are
Funkanauts F-U-N komatic
Funkanauts
We Gonna Blast off in your ear

Verse 2:
Me, I’m a soldier
Built from harmony
I don’t, don’t take no royalty
In auto-tune or forgery

Earth lost sight
Facing demise
We the funk shall rise

Chorus:

We Are the Future Funkanauts 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1

MOTHER’S DAY

Verse:
Burnin’ hot in the coolest spot
A summer day in 1975
A drink in hand, sipping like man
The funkiest woman I know alive

CHORUS:
EVERY DAY IS MOTHER’S DAY (Don’t need a holiday)
DON’T NEED NO DATE TO CELEBRATE (It’s time to celebrate)
CAUSE EVERY DAY IS MOTHER’S DAY (Don’t need a holiday)
SHOW HER LOVE, IT’S NOT TOO LATE (It’s time to celebrate)
CAUSE EVERY DAY IS MOTHER’S DAY

Verse 2:
Tryin’ hard to keep up the speed
Her open heart is slowly turning to stone
She got unpaid bills, three mouths to feed
Once the prom queen now she’s on her own

CHORUS

Bridge:
When times get tough
We’ll always have enough
She won’t let us fall
Together, together we’ll have it all

Do that 2 step momma
Come on momma do the twist
Do that 2 step momma
Come on momma do the twist
Now do the bump, now do the bump y’all
Now do the bump, now do the bump y’all
Everyday mother’s day

CHORUS

Last Chance Lover

Verse:
Back in the day sweatn’ to the heat of the city
We were just two lovers holdin’ on to the last summer day
Momma always told me that you were something else
I never had a catch until I caught me one myself

Chorus:
One more chance to be together
Take all night, don’t move too fast
One romance could be forever
One more dance, lets make it last
Last chance romance
Last chance lover 

Verse 2:
Back in the day huggin’ on you please won’t you stay
We were just two lovers always forced to separate
Momma always told me that you were a queen in high heel shoes
You’ll never know the blues less you put that love to use

Chorus:

Simple Things

Verse:
Darlin’, do you know
Why we’ve stayed together
And why in one night
Just one introduction changed our lives

Pre-Chorus:
Everyday, people wait, to find that someone
To share the same emotion
In a world filled with complicated love
See you’re the one so far above

Chorus:
It’s the simple things that you do
The little things oh how much I love you
The simple things in you
Precious as a bird can sing just those simple things

Verse 2:
It’s easy to remember
That love can last forever
Just one kiss sends me flyin’
Even when tears keep me from tryin’

Pre-Chorus:
Chorus:

Bridge:
Honey you ain’t like nothin’ else
Had so much to loose I tried to fool myself
Know one else is as sweet as my little baby
Just to hear your name drives me crazy

In a world filled with sorrow
With you there’s always tomorrow
See I don’t need no superwoman baby
I just need you and your simple ways

Chorus:

Bring Me Back

Verse:
I’m a balloon with, with a short string
Buch’ya found a way, a way to reach me
I tried to float away, didn’t have the strength to stay
But you know better, ya knew just what to say

Pre-Chorus:
Try not to worry bout the little things
You said to me while I was on my knees

Chorus:
If I tell you I’ll be gone today
Will you remind me to stay remind me to stay
Bring me back, Bring me back, Bring me back
Cause I’ll do the same for you

Verse 2:
Sometimes I wear a mask to hide my identity
But you can see through , my insecurity
I am a child lost in my mascarade
But you know better, you knew just what to say

Pre-Chorus:
Chorus:

Bridge:
Now it’s time to own my love
Nothin’ but, but myself
Now it’s time to own my love
No more questions you’re enough

Chorus:

Market St. Lady

Chorus:
Good woman, business woman
Everybody wanna get with woman
Good woman, sexy woman
Lets her hair down with the sun
Good woman, business woman
Everybody wanna get with woman
Good woman, sexy woman
Market St. Lady

Verse:
Growin’ up rough there was, never enough she was
One of eight kids from the Westside
Daddy worked late to keep, food on the plate while she
Walked to school wishin’ for a better life

Chorus:

Verse 2:
At the top of her class she’s seen, crowed the queen still
She had to work at night to help the family
Even though the guys gave her all the looks
She never gave em the time she had to hit the books

Chorus:

Bridge:
She made it on her own
Powerful fine and grown
If she were to stand alone
Her house would still be a home

Independent from the projects she’s got it
Bought a crib in pacific heights
Pedicure nails in em high heels she’s got it
Watch her walkin’ she’s outa sight

Chorus 2x:

Damn U Look Good Ta Nite

Verse:
Walked in the club 'bout 10 to 12 just trying to chill
I was with my boys and we were 10 deep dressed to kill
I had my swagger, heard my song and peeped the club
I need a girl to step with me and cut a rug

PreChorus:
Baby there you were
Couldn’t help but stare and watch all of your curves
Baby I’m so nervous
If I wasn’t so tongue-tied girl I’d be at your service

Chorus:
Damn you look good tonight, you stand out like a jewel
Damn you look good tonight, I’m profilin’ like a fool
Watching you and clocking you like you ain’t in my sight
What can I do locked in my shoes, damn you look good tonight

Verse 2:
I asked the waitress if she’d please give you a note
I wasn’t sure how you’d react to what I wrote
No one has ever made me freeze and lose my cool
But truth be told your beauty’s taking me to school

PreChorus:
Baby you had me sweatin’
As the waitress pointed so you’d see just what you’re getting in
Baby the note you’re reading
Is my way to say that I’m in awe of you this evening

Chorus:

Bridge:
I saw you smile so it welcomed me to come
I can smell the perfume rising from your skin
My hand’s around your waist and I’m guiding you through the crowd
All the fellas really want to be me now

Chorus:

Hello

Chorus:
I say hello
Don’t say goodbye
The only that stands between us
Is you and I

Verse:
One false slip you know it, it all goes down
But I felt the need to tell your heart to turn around
I need a line to reconnect
A word or two and my thoughts to collect

Chorus:

Verse 2:
My palms up tell me what can I do
Your back turned, is that what your heart tells you?
I need a sign like a shooting star
In the sky, do you have to push so hard?

Chorus:

Bridge:
Even though our hearts will break
We can just let go, we need to let go
Just because the difference will make
Weather we stand or we fall it’s no matter at all
If we can’t make up

Chorus:

Misunfortunate

Verse:
Through the eyes of her addiction
She saw a world unknown
Bruised by accidental affliction
She ran the risk of a future blown

Pre-Chorus:
A tragically fallen’, a tragically fallen’ soul
A tragically fallen’ soul abused

Chorus:
She is a painted portrait
She is a painted portrait tell me y’all
What’s her name tell me what’s her name?

Misunfortunate, misunfortunate
Misunfortunate, misunfortunate

Verse 2:
Lookin’ in as an outsider
A child is lost and one is gain
Oh, a fatherless child
One might ask the mother’s name

Pre-Chorus:
Chorus:

Like A Song

Verse:
Tiered, Tiered of feelin’ lonely
Just wanna be myself again
Just wanna feel you
I was down to my lowest point of worth
Until one day I met a flower
That bloomed in the rain
Who I am will be defined by the way
The way you hold me

Chorus:
Like a song to it’s melody
I will hold you close to me
And then you will see
You make me wanna sing

Verse 2:
Lookin’, lookin’ out my window
Visions of you on my mind
Within the star covered night
Havin’ trouble containin’ my tears
The rain keeps fallin’ down upon me baby
But you’re the sun light mommy
Who I am will be defined by the way,
The way you hold me

"Extended Play"

I Gotta Habit

Chorus:
I gotta habit I can’t take it
I gotts ta have it I can’t break it
I’m tryin’ to tell ya if I don’t get some
I just might lose my mind
I need a little room on the floor

Verse:
Lets make it happen I wanna do it right
Light as a feather underneath the lights
Lets keep it together and just chill tonight
The way your bodies move sensations pure delight

Lift me up gettin’ higher
She’s cookin’ up some passion desire

Chorus:

Verse 2:
How does she do it she gets me every time
The way she movin my tempters startin’ to climb
I get the feelin’ so smooth on the one
That’s when I’m steppin’ on the dance floor to get me some

Lift me up take me higher
She’s cookin’ up some passion desire

Chorus:

B-Section:
Grab somebody get your self on the floor
Try it you’ll like it I know you’ll be back for more
Move it in, move it out, move it in, move it shout
Move it in, move it out, move it move 

I know I just can’t stop It, I know I just can’t stop
I know I just can’t stop it, I know I just can’t stop I need a little room on the floor

Chorus: out

Easier Done Than Said

Verse:
Sometimes we need to move on and never look back
I’m tryin’ hard to hold on when I don’t wanna do that
If I put one foot in front of the other I believe I can walk away
If I learned one thing from my mother it’s to live life for today

Pre-Chorus 1:
We can dwell on our yesterdays
But my life ain’t long enough
Need to dust my shoulders off and give up

Chorus:
‘Cause some things are easier done than said
Some people better off left behind
Somehow I'll get this all out of my head
Soon as I find a new frame of mind

Some things are easier, easier done than said

Verse 2:
Find it hard to wake up cause you were my reason
I need to rid me of these memories to release this frustration
If I can cope with my loss and say good by
In my mind I can see it go down with my heart being satisfied

Pre-Chorus 2:
We can go through this a million times
But my life ain’t long enough
Need to dust my shoulders off and give up

Chorus:

Bridge:
Some things, will take your whole life away
Some people, they try to control
Somehow, I know that I’ll find a way
Somebody, help me get back my soul

Pre-Chorus 1:

You say you’ll hit me back but you never come through
Between those kids and your alimony
You playin’ with fire if you can’t come with it today
