Wild Desire
Wild Desire
Album By Michael Shynes
Sometimes life can be so cruel
Keeps on reminding me of you
All of the sweet and sunny weather
Now all the days turn shades of blue, girl
I did you wrong too many times
Acting like you weren’t on my mind
You had fallen for me hard love
Oh how I wish I’d seen it then
I should have picked up all the signals
Looking back still drives me crazy
Knowing that you were by my side
Knowing that I took you for granted
Now she's onto me selling
Make believe like its currency
I could lock the door sweep her off the floor
But I can’t control you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you, I’m begging you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you
To stop making a fool of me
Of me
They tell me time can heal the wounded
But what if it cuts me way too deep
Can’t hide the hurt with longer sleeves
I’ve been searching for equal
Someone who dresses just like you
Laughs at a joke the way you do
Now she's onto me selling
Make believe like its currency
I could lock the door sweep her off the floor
But I can’t control you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you, I’m begging you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you
To stop making a fool of me
Tough times cause
I’m never really sentimental
No vice in a vessel gonna make it better
Every moment I could of made a move
I shoulda crossed you over left
And maybe got you in a room baby
Your eyes disappearing in a haze
Your love going up inside the blaze
And now there is only me to blame
For never speaking up the truth
That I had always felt the same
Now she's chasing me
She's on every street in my memory
I could lock her out
Take the pictures down but I can't control you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you, I’m begging you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you
To stop making a fool of me
Keeps on reminding me of you
All of the sweet and sunny weather
Now all the days turn shades of blue, girl
I did you wrong too many times
Acting like you weren’t on my mind
You had fallen for me hard love
Oh how I wish I’d seen it then
I should have picked up all the signals
Looking back still drives me crazy
Knowing that you were by my side
Knowing that I took you for granted
Now she's onto me selling
Make believe like its currency
I could lock the door sweep her off the floor
But I can’t control you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you, I’m begging you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you
To stop making a fool of me
Of me
They tell me time can heal the wounded
But what if it cuts me way too deep
Can’t hide the hurt with longer sleeves
I’ve been searching for equal
Someone who dresses just like you
Laughs at a joke the way you do
Now she's onto me selling
Make believe like its currency

But I can’t control you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you, I’m begging you
Jealousy jealousy, oh

Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you, I’m begging you
Jealousy jealousy, oh
I’m begging you
To stop making a fool of me
Falling like a stone with an anchor
Ain’t finding no good news in the paper
Life feels like an empty restaurant
Legs so heavy on the sidewalk
So many lips are moving but they don’t talk
People only hearing what they want
God Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Don’t let me fall down again
I’m hoping for a better place
So can we please redecorate
I never liked the curtains in this room
And if you’re hearing what I say
Send a little more help okay
We can clean it up with a few more brooms
God Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Don’t let me fall down again
Don’t use up the holy water,
I’m gonna need it when I’m older
When I’ve moved on from this place
Tell me that I’m forgiven
For all the different lives I’m living
While I keep searching
God Let me fly
God Let me fly
God Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Don’t let me fall down again
God Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Don’t let me fall like this again
Ain’t finding no good news in the paper
Life feels like an empty restaurant
Legs so heavy on the sidewalk
So many lips are moving but they don’t talk
People only hearing what they want
God Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Don’t let me fall down again
I’m hoping for a better place
So can we please redecorate
I never liked the curtains in this room
And if you’re hearing what I say
Send a little more help okay
We can clean it up with a few more brooms
God Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Don’t let me fall down again
Don’t use up the holy water,
I’m gonna need it when I’m older
When I’ve moved on from this place
Tell me that I’m forgiven
For all the different lives I’m living
While I keep searching
God Let me fly
God Let me fly
God Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Don’t let me fall down again
God Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Don’t let me fall like this again
Lay your head down on my shoulder, and let my heartbeat keep your time
And in the future you'll be old enough to draw more apparent lines
Tell me what you want, and tell me what you need
Can I satisfy the hunger in your chest
Listen to the back-beat of the kick drum, doesn't it tell your story best
On and on this is just the same song, I am such a headcase, you are just a broken starlet
In my nuclear vision, I see more repetition
An explosion, then a brand new project
Run your hands through my hair, keep 'em at 10 and 2
Like you're driving through the city at midnight in June
And I am with you, you be the mission and I'll be the truth
Don't be so aware of what troubles you, you were a diamond in the rough before I found you
And if there's a tear in the fabric, baby thread that needle up and I'll be damned if I can't mend it
On and on this is just the same song, I am such a headcase, you are just a broken starlet
In my nuclear vision, I see more repetition
An explosion, then a brand new project
And I, I have yet to draw the line, this time
And I, I have yet to draw the line, the line
On and on this is just the same song, I am such a headcase, you are just a broken starlet
In my nuclear vision, I see more repetition
An explosion, then a brand new project
And in the future you'll be old enough to draw more apparent lines
Tell me what you want, and tell me what you need
Can I satisfy the hunger in your chest
Listen to the back-beat of the kick drum, doesn't it tell your story best
On and on this is just the same song, I am such a headcase, you are just a broken starlet
In my nuclear vision, I see more repetition
An explosion, then a brand new project
Run your hands through my hair, keep 'em at 10 and 2
Like you're driving through the city at midnight in June
And I am with you, you be the mission and I'll be the truth
Don't be so aware of what troubles you, you were a diamond in the rough before I found you
And if there's a tear in the fabric, baby thread that needle up and I'll be damned if I can't mend it
On and on this is just the same song, I am such a headcase, you are just a broken starlet
In my nuclear vision, I see more repetition
An explosion, then a brand new project
And I, I have yet to draw the line, this time
And I, I have yet to draw the line, the line
On and on this is just the same song, I am such a headcase, you are just a broken starlet
In my nuclear vision, I see more repetition
An explosion, then a brand new project
I saw her at the grocery picking out carrots
Funny something about her
Reminds me of my parents
Private school up in NYC
I wanna take a swim in her menagerie
But she don’t pay no mind to me
Upper class lady got an energy
But I’ll come back around now
I saw her at the post office picking out stamps
Folding up and licking em and doing that dance
Overcome by what I want to see
Doing anything so you will notice me
Paying like its poetry
Then you’re moving past me like a Saturn ring
See you around now, iced out
Waiting at a stoplight
5th and 42nd with my radio too loud
For me to ever get to heaven
And she pulls up with a guy I know
Got a shirt around his neck in case
The world gets cold I guess
This is the kind of thing she’s looking for
Kind of like the carrots in the grocery store
Its that safety maybe
I saw her at the grocery picking out carrots, Na nas
I saw her at the grocery picking out carrots
Funny something about her
Reminds me, reminds me of my parents
Private School up in NYC
I want to take a swim in her menagerie
Maybe
Funny something about her
Reminds me of my parents
Private school up in NYC
I wanna take a swim in her menagerie
But she don’t pay no mind to me

The day I started writing poetry was the same day that I met you
All the thoughts running through my head are now like a bird's eye view
The way you lifted that magazine made me feel like going to church
Walked two doors down to the barber shop and said brother man give me the works
Driven by a wild desire
Life is so surreal
I used to want an appetizer
Now I’ll spin the wheel
Broken glass raining over my head
And the getaway car is close
If I’m gonna do the things I said
I’ll need a bag of paper president ghosts
One two its all for you
Cash drawer out the door
I’ll pay you back when I’m famous
Ain’t nothing come for free
That ain’t no hyperbole
I’ll put your name on the guest list darling
Chorus
A changing wave I rode for you
But you never say merci beaucoup
So I’ll just keep on building this up and Hoping one day it will all be enough You will notice me
Will you notice me
Oooo Ooooo
One two I think I love you Dance floor out the door
What more is there to prove x2
All the thoughts running through my head are now like a bird's eye view
The way you lifted that magazine made me feel like going to church
Walked two doors down to the barber shop and said brother man give me the works
Driven by a wild desire
Life is so surreal
I used to want an appetizer
Now I’ll spin the wheel
Broken glass raining over my head
And the getaway car is close
If I’m gonna do the things I said
I’ll need a bag of paper president ghosts
One two its all for you

I’ll pay you back when I’m famous
Ain’t nothing come for free

I’ll put your name on the guest list darling
Chorus

But you never say merci beaucoup
So I’ll just keep on building this up and Hoping one day it will all be enough You will notice me

Oooo Ooooo

What more is there to prove x2
Woke up this morning and put on a colorful robe
I glide down the staircase, feel as good as the sun is golden
Pour me some OJ in my tallest glass
Eggs over easy, cause I’m over you at last
I hear the newspaper boy biking up the street
He’s shouting today’s headline, sounds like music to me
Extra extra read all about it, today was the day that I discovered I’m better off without her
She had strawberry hair and red wine in her stare, but all they did was mask the fact that she never really cared for me
Got my to do list its been building for a while
Cause last month all I did was sleep and cry
Found a box of your things that I set on your lawn
Brought that newspaper with, rang your doorbell then I run
Singing extra extra read all about it, today was the day that I discovered I’m better off without her
She had strawberry hair and red wine in her stare, but all they did was mask the fact that she never really cared for me
I’m at the grocery store, dancing through the aisles, picking out all the things that you said were too unhealthy
Extra extra read all about it, today was the day that I discovered I’m better off without her
She had strawberry hair and red wine in her stare, but all they did was mask the fact that she never really cared for me
Extra extra this just in, local man has left the sorry state he was in
Call my tailor, hit the gym, buy a boat, learn to swim
Cause you weren’t the flavor anyway that could make me happy
I glide down the staircase, feel as good as the sun is golden
Pour me some OJ in my tallest glass
Eggs over easy, cause I’m over you at last
I hear the newspaper boy biking up the street
He’s shouting today’s headline, sounds like music to me
Extra extra read all about it, today was the day that I discovered I’m better off without her
