I had a dream last night God knows a black cat had crossed my trail I had a dream last night God knows a black cat had crossed my trail You know I don't want you to Sweep me with no broom 'Cause I'm afraid I might go to jail When my right hand itch People, you know I'm gettin' money for sure You know when my right hand itch People, I'm gettin' money for sure You know when my Left eye get to jumpin' Somebody's just got to go I went home last night I lay down 'cross my bed I woke up this mornin' God knows Broken, hungry too, I said, oh Lord, this black cat have crossed my dream You know sometime I wonder B.G. What in the world's gonna happen to me Well, I went down to the cemetery Got down on my bended knees I asked the good Lord above To take this spell off of me and I said, 'Woah' You know a black cat have crossed my dream You know I begin to wonder B.G. What in the world is gonna happen to me

Nobody picks up the phone So many people make it easier to feel alone Just like the old days I'd come But you're never even home And I tried to sell out, It turns out everybody else was already sold At least that's what I'm told It's getting old But it's day and night this time around I put my feet back on the ground I run away just to come back again I tried to tell you that it's all in my head I tried to tell you that it's not dead I changed the locks and still hear knocks I tried to run and you tried to talk I tried to tell you that it's all in my head We all change Everyone's seen better days Consequences of the haze Like no one knows We all pay Blood and bones Cash and prey Better days oh better days Like no one knows Sometimes I feel like it's all in my head I tried to tell you that it's not dead I changed the locks and still hear knocks I tried to run and you tried to talk I tried to tell you that it's all in my head I tried to tell you that it's all in my head I tried to tell you that it's not dead I changed the locks and still hear knocks I tried to run and you tried to talk I tried to tell you that it's all in my head

I used to think Maybe I was in love Spent all my days Dreaming of Being with you And happy cause At least now I'm kinda not Feeling so lost Doing my own thing And writing more songs But the being alone stings I know what I want When I see you my heart sings But it's breakup songs And I jump when my phone rings I can't take this for long Feeling better I'll do whatever I want Got no tether Yeah you're a little taunt And I know I'll never Get whatever I want But I'm feeling better Yeah you think you're clever? Oh you're canceling Well who would've ever thought Pulling my heart strings Better hope that your not I don't care about anything I don't care that we fought But you see here's the thing It's always my fault I don't wanna blame you I cannot contain you It's just such a shame You won't even let me talk All you want is fame And you think I'm your bane And you can't handle pain You won't even let me talk Feeling better I'll do whatever I want Got no tether Yeah you're a little taunt And I know I'll never Get whatever I want But I'm feeling better Yeah you think you're clever? Feeling better I'll do whatever I want Got no tether Yeah you're a little taunt And I know I'll never Get whatever I want But I'm feeling better Yeah you think you're clever? Feeling better I'll do whatever I want Got no tether Yeah you're a little taunt And I know I'll never Get whatever I want But I'm feeling better Yeah you think you're clever?

Well she said she'll make you feel alright Oh questionable things make you open your eyes And she stole your heart in the nic of time And you thought that id'll be alright And shes not okay (and she says she's fine) And nothings gonna stop her at this time of night Cut off her nose just outta spite Oh say my name just one more time! BAD! OH ITS BAD! You got one foot in the grave and the other in your hair BAD! OH ITS BAD! You got one foot in the grave and the other in your hair

The smell of fireworks and dirty words Things I shouldn't have overheard Broken promises and slamming doors Go ahead and cut the cord Used up all my time Said it's ok cause you're just fine Mixing water and cheap white wine Serve your sentence and do your time So tell me lies for one more night Tell me all the reasons you're right Forget we ever spoke a word at all Take my hand and watch me fall With no consequence at all Oh the world's so small When you know that it's over When you're everything but sober When everything takes over You just give up and cry Maybe it's not so cold Or maybe we're getting older The cards in my hand say fold But it's in the eyes of the beholder So tell me lies for one more night Tell me all the reasons you're right Forget we ever spoke a word at all Take my hand and watch me fall With no consequence at all Oh the world's so small So tell me lies for one more night Tell me all the reasons you're right Forget we ever spoke a word at all Take my hand and watch me fall With no consequence at all Oh the world's so small So tell me lies for one more night Tell me all the reasons you're right Forget we ever spoke a word at all Take my hand and watch me fall With no consequence at all Oh the world's so small

I wrote a little tune It's a song about you And you know that its the truth So you'll figure it out soon You saved me from my self And I always try to help I'm a little under-qualified But I do And I tried to write you a song And I'm really glad we get along So please don't take this the wrong way But I wrote a little tune for you and me Yeah we've really come along And nothing ever wrong When you tell me I'm okay Make me feel like I belong And I tried I tried I tried I really did But we both know way deep down That we're just still just little kids And I tried to write you a song And I'm really glad we get along So please don't take this the wrong way But I wrote a little tune for you and me This ain't the way things are supposed to be But when you talk it sounds like poetry All the lovely things we've done All the places we've been I still can't make you look at me It's time I cash it in And I tried to write you a song And I'm really glad we get along So please don't take this the wrong way But I wrote a little tune for you and me I tried to write you a song Yeah Yeah Yeah
