Runnin 03:31
Let me tell y’all what i understand about love I’ll never understand it When I say she’s lookin fine and she says “yeah I know” What can I do? Cause my latest keeps me locked out the house at night I never did demand it Gotta find the strength inside to straight up fly right I’m tellin you this now cos you got to know the truth Slowly I am runnin to you And I don’t know how or know why I’m so high Slowly I am runnin to you And I don’t know how I’m supposed to survive And the lady she makes out I ain’t got what it takes Thats not the way I planned it Gotta find a way to show her my brawn and brains I’m wonderin if you’ll help me cos she’s got ta know tha truth Slowly I am runnin to you And I don’t know how or know why I’m so high Slowly I am runnin to you And I don’t know how I’m supposed to survive You know it's my way Or it's the highway! Don’t ever run away Run away! Slowly I am runnin to you And I don’t know how or know why I’m so high Slowly I am runnin to you And I don’t know how I’m supposed to survive

This heat just won’t let up Peppemint Julep Can’t take the heat on the street One count of vulture, no meat Who’s the man with the stone cold glare? He like the Blockhead like the Steely Dan He moved to Melbourne but he missed his old fans Back in 4000 tryna be his own man Sweat pourin outta my pores Like a human rainforest I’m a brown snake writhin’ Got that Neptune risin’ He go to London but it ain’t no thing You know that Paris ain’t so cosmopolitan New York is busy and it smells like a stain Give him that city on a hazy floodplain, yeah The suburbs is up The city is down The valley goes round and around and around and around and around Who’s the man with the stone cold glare? (Who goes there?) He like the Blockhead like the Steely Dan (Ooh yeah) He moved to Melbourne but he missed his old fans (No I didn’t) Back in 4000 tryna be his own man (Here I am)

Loving Light 03:49
Sweetheart you’re such a sweet one Pretty eyes take a look at what you gone done Young lovin’ seasons in the past now But I never had a reason until just now Cos baby tonight it feels like only you and I Watchin’ the world just melt away Oh baby tonight Everything’s alright We don’t have to hide Turn on that lovin’ light let it shine so bright on me Will this feelin’ be getting any stronger? We won’t know unless we hang a little longer So baby this ain’t no time for second guessing So take my hand cos this union is our blessing I nearly die everytime I see your sweet smile You’re makin’ my heart just melt away Oh baby tonight Everything’s alright We don’t have to hide Turn on that lovin’ light let it shine so bright on me Wanna do it right and do right by you I can stay all night if you want me to Turn on that lovin’ light Let’s do what lovers do yeeeeahhhh Turn on that lovin’ light let it shine so bright on me

I’m a Renaissance Man And I got a master plan How about I take ya for a ride on my motorbike? We can get ramen tonight If that’s somethin’ that ya think you’d like So bloody nervous that I think I might just piss my pants But I’m ready for some good romance You’re lookin’ at a Renaissance Man And it’s all so new So let’s see what these lips can do And it’s all for you and me And it’s all for you So let’s see what these lips can do And it’s all so new for me

Hold on Baby 04:43
Been so hard for me to get to sleep I just can’t seem to stop my mind All the memories keep haunting me And the thought of your precious smile I try my best to accept our fate But I can’t help but wonder of the love that we’d make So when you say that we can just be friends Girl it hurts me more than you’d understand Hold on baby Cos I’m comin’back gonna show you just how I feel Hold on baby Cos I’m comin’ back wanna show you my love is real You came to me when you were in distress And I gladly gave you my time I was enamoured by your tenderness Even though you were in a bind We tried our best to pass the test So many other lovers have been so blessed So can we give it just one more chance? I promise to give you my very best Hold on baby Cos I’m comin’back gonna show you just how I feel Hold on baby Cos I’m comin’ back wanna show you my love is real I’m gonna hold on babe If you don’t want me back I just don’t know how I will deal Hold on baby Cos I’m comin’ back and I want your love I need your love So can we give it just one more chance? I promise to give you my very best Hold on baby Cos I’m comin’back gonna show you just how I feel Hold on baby Cos I’m comin’ back wanna show you my love is real I’m gonna hold on babe If you don’t want me back I just don’t know how I will deal Hold on baby Cos I’m comin’ back and I want your love I need your love

Private Eye 03:18
Baby's stayin’ up all night She’s always checkin’ the scene by that laptop light She’s got her eyes on my disguise A finger on the mouse Now she’s refreshin’ her feed And she's checkin’ it twice yeah Baby’s got a problem She don’t wanna listen And you can bet that she knows what she’s missing But she’s too blind to see All the fish swimming in this sea She’s just a needle in the hay But I know she’s gonna love me anyway It’s okay if you don’t have the words to say Cos I know you're gonna love me anyway You go on admiring me from afar Cos you know that I don’t wanna work too hard And I know you’ll be my private eye But she’s too blind to see All the fish swimming in this sea She’s just a needle in the hay But I know she’s gonna love me anyway It’s okay if you don’t have the words to say Cos I know you're gonna love me anyway You go on admiring me from afar Cos you know that I don’t wanna work too hard And I know you’ll be my private eye

Everybody’s always running around Always running off their mouths But they ain’t ever saying nothing I try to keep my eyes on the prize Cos there’s nothing left to lose and everything to be winning But if you say that there’s nothing new under the sun for me and you Then what we frickin’ doing? You know we gotta keep keeping on And be working on the best love The best love (That's our love) You gotta keep your eyes on the prize and be working on the best love The best love (That's our love) You gotta keep your eyes on the prize and be working on the best love baby The best love

Little Fire 04:08
I am bigger than the sky in the middle of July I mystify myself sometimes And I am hotter than the sun A gift to everyone I am my mother’s favourite son Look at my little fire Shooting sparks inside of my heart And I know that I can finally love again Yeah cos you were sweeter than the sweet Walking down your street hand in hand my heart skipped a beat Yeah you lit my little fire You fanned the flames inside of my heart And you showed me I could finally love again You’re the one who did it When you said goodbye I cried But deep down I knew inside That things would never Never would be so dire You lit my little fire I am higher than the trees The Himalayas, Rocky Mountains, Alps, Tian Shan, Andes Yeah Yeah look at my little fire Shooting sparks inside of my heart And I know that I can finally love again You’re the one who did it When you said goodbye I cried But deep down I knew inside That things would never Never would be so dire You lit my little fire You’re the one who did it You let our sweet loving die But deep down I know inside That things will never Never will be so dire You lit my little fire

What’s wrong with me? I’m not asking you rhetorically There’s a lot of love inside me And you couldn’t seem to find it What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with you? Is it possible you’re hiding something too? Can we sit and talk about it? Instead of tip-toeing around it? What’s wrong with you? Tell me what’s so good about him? Just what makes him so interesting? And why the silence that befell me When you couldn’t even tell me what’s wrong? What’s wrong with us? All the love we had has turned into dust And yeah we’re making dollars But this ain’t making no sense What’s wrong with us?

My baby's such a baby She's always cryin' in the middle of the night And if I say something nasty to her She says two wrongs won't make it right Baby you know that we've been here before Used up my love and now you're wanting some more I don't know if I'm willing to play this game (oh no) Baby you know we ain't breakin' the law Ain't what the book of love was written for Don't be stupid just let Cupid take his aim! ('Cause I love you!!) CHORUS: You got the power Baby to hold on to me You got the power Baby to hold on to me You are a tower of strength to me So baby don't be crazy You know I'll love ya 'til the end of time And if you're drinkin' a corona baby Gonna be that little piece of lime ;) Baby it's too late to settle the score The way you're talkin' it just cuts to the core When you feel shy you just go on cry out my name (SIMI BABY!) CHORUS Now my heart lays in pieces on the floor Winter's over now I'm walkin' out your door All the lights start shinin' bright As the night dies out in this big ol' heart o' mine You know I could only lead you on, girl I got nothin' more to say (HEYAYAYAYeaheh) CHORUS So just touch me baby Hold me close don't ever let me go
