No Button for Rewind...






The next song has been picked...

That's So Mean!!!

Verse 1

Remember back in school
You thought it would be cool
Bang those lockers around
Big fish, little pool

Now you can’t go back and fix
Those words that were unkind
Brut force instead of your mind
No button for rewind…

Chorus

What if what you said
It went right straight to his head?
And what if the result
Would become an insult?

And then that poor kid
Couldn’t get his mind clean
But you didn’t take it back
And that’s why
That’s so mean

What’s coming out your mouth
Is borderline obscene
You don’t really care
And that’s why
That’s so mean!

Verse 2

How about the time
You made that girl cry?
You told her that you’d call her
Of course that was a lie

“Baby, I love you”
Would’ve said anything
Together forever
Now, “Oops, I lost the ring”

Chorus

What if what you said
It went right straight to her head?
And what if the result
Would become an insult?

And then that poor girl
Couldn’t get her mind clean
But you didn’t take it back
And that’s why
That’s so mean

What’s coming out your mouth
Is borderline obscene
You don’t really care
And that’s why
That’s so mean!

Verse 3

Even just last night
Had the opportunity
When Annie called you up
Crying hysterically

Maybe you should have told her
What your eyes had seen
Conflict of interest though
And that’s why
That’s so mean!

Chorus

What if what you said
It went right straight to her head?
And what if the result
Would become an insult?

And then that poor girl
Couldn’t get her mind clean
But you didn’t take it back
And that’s why
That’s so mean

What’s coming out your mouth
Is borderline obscene
You don’t really care
And that’s why
That’s so mean!

A Special Day That You Were Born...The Planets Lined Up In Full Salute!


Happy Birthday Mom!!! By the time you read this it will be March 2nd, your real birthday!! I am so glad that we got to hang out yesterday for your birthday pre-party...I had a lot of fun!!! It is always such a good feeling to know that you can bring a smile to someone's face, and I think that mission was accomplished yesterday! When I was a kid, you always made my birthday such a special day for me. It is so rewarding now for me to be able to do that for you! Thank you for being so positive and encouraging...you are truly one of a kind! I know that a lot of my writting talents can be contributed to the way you write, always from the heart and very powerful. You have been a great teacher! Thank you, not only for that, but simply for being you! I love you!

Today, I will be recording song #3 at one o'clock...
Twinkles (I Love You). Yesterday, my mom got to hear a rough copy of the song, now you you can read the lyrics... This song has a really different sound!! It compliments the lyrics perfectly. Can't wait for you to hear it!

Verse 1

Oh, oh my little star
Heading out to see the world
Oh, oh my little star
I love you bigger than the whole wide world

A special day that you were born
The planets lined up in full salute
Oh, oh my little star
The way that you shine
No one can refute

Chorus

Forget all my troubles
You make it easy
Dusting me with your
Amnesia sprinkles

I know you love me
I can tell
Judging on how loud for me
You say "twinkles"

Verse 2

Oh, oh my little star
I was so lucky that night we met
Oh, oh if you go too far
One little thing you should never forget

Our special way to say I love you
When this world that we live becomes too mean
Oh, oh my little star
Just say the word twinkles
And we’ll know what it means

Chorus

Forget all my troubles
You make it easy
Dusting me with your
Amnesia sprinkles

I know you love me
I can tell
Judging on how loud for me
You say
"Twinkles"

Bridge

When I worry
A few more sprinkles
You can say you love me
With the word twinkles

Back to Chorus

End

Oh, oh my little star
Oh, oh "twinkles", "twinkles"
