Track Name: Wake Up Next To You
Boy I get lost inside your eyes
Your crystal baby blues have got me hypnotized
They’re staring at me melting right down to my soul
Only a minute or two before you pull me in and I’m yours

I don’t want to rush this
No I don’t want to force it
Just want to let it happen
And when the sun comes up
In the morning

I just wanna wake up with you next to me and
I just want to feel you every time I breathe in
Be there to catch me when I start falling 
For you like I’m gonna do 
All I wanna do
Is wake up next to you


 I can still smell you on my skin
And I can’t wait ‘til the morning comes so we can do this all again 


I don’t want to rush this
No I don’t want to force it
Just want to let it happen
And when the sun comes up in the morning

I just wanna wake up with you next to me and
I just want to feel you every time I breathe in
Be there to catch me when I start falling 
For you like I’m gonna do 
All I wanna do
Is wake up next to you

I don’t want to rush this
No I don’t want to force it
Just want to let it happen
And when the sun comes up in the morning

I just wanna wake up with you next to me and
I just want to feel you every time I breathe in
Be there to catch me when I start falling 
For you like I’m gonna do 
All I wanna do
Is wake up next to you 
Track Name: Remedy
Remedy
Betsey Long


Each night I wait for the phone to ring
And I lay in my bed thinkin' 'bout, you and me
Am I losing my mind why can't you please just set me free
All I wanted from you was not to forget me

I don't need your simple remedy that you can handle me,
And that you'll never leave
'Cause I don't think your stupid remedy is gonna hold me
I'm not afraid to leave
In time all the simple melodies of you're the one for me
I'll keep you here with me
And I'll stay true through the centuries
And we'll be happy
Oh you can't fool me

I'm sitting alone wondering where I'd be
If I didn't know you would I be looking for sympathy
And I think you should know that I am not afraid to be alone


I don't need your simple remedy that you can handle me
And that you'll never leave
'Cause I don't think your stupid remedy is gonna hold me
I'm not afraid to leave
In time all the simple melodies of you're the one for me
I'll keep you here with me
And I'll stay true through the centuries
And we'll be happy
Oh you can't fool me

In my mind I try to find a reason why
You're always crying for me
But you always leave me
Once I've seen the light
I decide to try and give you all of my time
But you leave me crying for you
Come back here and say you'll always stay near
It's getting harder for me to open up and see
That you will never be mine
'Til the end of time
But now I've seen the light
From the other side


I don't need your simple remedy that you can handle me
And that you'll never leave
I don't think your stupid remedy is gonna hold me
I'm not afraid to leave



I don't need your simple remedy that you can handle me
And that you'll never leave
'Cause I don't think your stupid remedy is gonna hold me
I'm not afraid to leave
In time all the simple melodies of you're the one for me
I'll keep you here with me
And I'll stay true through the centuries
And we'll be happy
Oh you can't fool me
Track Name: Let Me Love You
Let Me Love You

You showed me the signs you wanted me
You gave to me all that I need
'Cause I see how you work
I won't hold back baby
I will push through

'Cause I want to hold you forever

Let me love you
Always be true
Please understand
Let me love you
Don't be scared to try
I will give you
All you need
Just trust in me
I want you, baby
Let Me Love You

I know you'll give in
Just drop all your worries
The past is the past, baby
I'm not here to hurt you
Just give, give me your heart
'Cause I can't search no more

You are the one for me, baby

Let me love you
Always be true
Please understand
Let me love you
Don't be scared to try
I will give you
All you need
Just trust in me
I want you, baby
Let Me Love You
Track Name: Share The Moonlight
Share The Moonlight

When you are way I cry
And feel something so deep inside
I can’t explain it
No no no no
I dream about you through the day
And think about you up all night
This won’t go away

Each time I hear your name
I just feel so far away

‘Cause we both share the moon each night
And I imagine you
Holding on to me so tightly
And when I’m missing you baby
We’ll share the moonlight!

It makes me smile
It makes me laugh
Just thinkin’ ‘bout you I’m a mess
All of my feelings show
I lose control
Wanna be wrapped up tight in your arms
And stay forever
Inside your heart

Each time I hear your name
I just feel so far away
I feel so far away

‘Cause we both share the moon each night
And I imagine you
Holding on to me so tightly
And when I’m missing you baby
We’ll share the moonlight


And when I’m missing you baby
I’ll just look at the moonlight
Oh, we both share the moon
Each night
Oh and I imagine you holding me so tight

‘Cause we both share the moon each night
And I imagine you
Holding on to me so tightly
And when I’m missing you baby
We’ll share the moonlight
Track Name: This Song
This Song

Eyes like wine and your heart
Have got me breathless
Your kiss, oh it's electric

You fit to me like a glove
So perfectly can't get enough
It's magic
When you hold me in your arms so
Carefully won't put no one above you
In my heart

I wanna say these things to you but
I'm terrified to

So I will just write you a love song
To show you how much I
Care about all the things that you do for me
Just write you a love song
Use the things I couldn't say
And write you this song

Your touch, oh it just burns my skin
Seeps right through to my heart and then

I'm here on the sidewalk like a popsicle in the summer time
I'm melting
When you say I'm so amazing
Oh boy it drives me crazy baby
So say it again

I wanna say these things to you but
I'm terrified to

So I will just write you a love song
To show you how much I
Care about all the things that you do for me.
Just write you a love song



Use the things I couldn't say,
I hope you know what I'm trying to say
And that you feel the very same way
That I do
I'm gonna try not to be so terrified by you

So I will just write you a love song
To show you how much I
Care about all the things that you do for me
Just write you a love song
Use the things I couldn't say
And write you this song
Track Name: Toy Box
Toy Box
Brett Vargason,Tom Michael, Betsey Long, Todd Shay, Professa C’

You want plastic
Not a beating heart that bleeds for passion.
You could care less about my dreams
You want me
Just as long as I don't speak while you play your games with me boy

You dress me up and take me out
Then treat me like an object
What I say you don't respect
You only wanna play
When it's not convenient
I just go back in your toy box
Waiting while I'm suffocating
Boy but I won't stay

When you go to bed am I just
One more toy for you to hold
See your pretty doll is breathing

Want out I want, want out of your toy box
Want out I want, want out of your toy box
Want out I want, want out of your toy box
Want out I want, want out of your toy box

I can see them
You've got so many other toys around me
Cars computer and a giant dream house
I'm sure there's a couple other dolls you’re hiding up in your room

You make me wait at home while you get dirty on the playground
That all will change when you come back I will be gone
You can search the attic ask around
But I know better
I found someone to love me
When you’re not around

When you come to bed am I just
One more toy for you to hold
See your pretty doll is leaving

Want out, I want want out of your toy box
Want out, I want want out of your toy box
Want out, I want want out of your toy box
Want out, I want want out of your toy box




Anywhere I go and no matter who I lose
You’re who I choose to remain in the room
And I don’t care what them other dames gonna
Move
‘Cause you all mine, see my name on your shoes
Yeah, I wrote that with a Sharpie
So I’m gonna play with the boys at the party
Bounce to the bed with who hm let’s see
Lookin’ in the box
Anybody seen Betsey
Damn, could have sworn she was right here
Been in the same spot for five years
Funny how a toy make a man fight tears
And by the way, where the hell is Buz Lightyear
Best friend.
Gone creepin'
He knows she’s more than a doll that I sleep with
No secret of how sad that I’ve been,
We’re not family but come back to your “Ken” girl


When you come to bed am I just
One more toy for you to hold
See your pretty doll is leaving!

Want out, I want, want out of your toy box!
Want out, I want, want out of your toy box!
Want out, I want, want out of your toy box!
Want out, I want, want out of your toy box!
Want out, I want, want out of your toy box!
Want out, I want, want out of your toy box!
Want out, I want, want out of your toy box!
Want out, I want, want out of your toy box!
Track Name: Hott Pink
Hott Pink
Betsey Long

Now it’s time to bring the single shade I didn’t use with you
Only gray, red, purple, mostly blue.
Now that I have freed myself I’m ready to move on my boo
It’s my turn because you used the color way too soon

When I was still your girlfriend
How could you
Betray the one who stayed
So close
So go
So

Tonight I’m hott pink
Tonight I’m hott pink
Tonight I’m hott pink
Tonight I’m hott pink

Being pink and single feeling sexy feels so good no more you
Going to the clue I’m wearing close that made you lose your cool
I’m over being shades of black
Black just like you’re heart because you cheated
You can’t get me back

When I was still your girlfriend
How could you
Betray the one who stayed
So close
So go
So

Tonight I’m hott pink
(Try it all you want but I’m gone)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(I’m not feeling your blues anymore)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(Finally done with your dirty, cheating ways)
Tonight I’m hott pink

Tonight I’m hott pink
(Try it all you want but I’m gone)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(I’m not feeling your blues anymore)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(Finally done with your dirty, cheating ways)
Tonight I’m hott pink

Single mingle
Sexy in the city
I’m feeling pink tonight
Single mingle
Sexy in the city
Single mingle
Sexy in the city
I’m feeling pink tonight

Tonight I’m hott pink
(Try it all you want but I’m gone)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(I’m not feeling your blues anymore)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(Finally done with your dirty, cheating ways)
Tonight I’m hott pink

Tonight I’m hott pink
(Try it all you want but I’m gone)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(I’m not feeling your blues anymore)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(Finally done with your dirty, cheating ways)
Tonight I’m hott pink

Tonight I’m hott pink
(Try it all you want but I’m gone)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(I’m not feeling your blues anymore)
Tonight I’m hott pink
(Finally done with your dirty, cheating ways)
Tonight I’m hott pink
Track Name: Aftertaste
Aftertaste
Jennifer Adan, Leigh Houison, Betsey Long

It lingers for a minute
Then you leave I’m still in it
Your kiss leaves me feeling high

I cling to every word you say
I love when it’s my breath you take
And I hate when you say goodbye

It feels so good when you’re loving me
But I know its only temporary
Your poison flows right through my veins
The sweet I had turns sour baby
You leave leave me with a bad
Aftertaste

I’m hanging on by a thread
Believing all the words that you said
I know you’re bad for me but I don’t care
It’s like I’m under some kind of spell
And I know you’re tricks so well
But I I’m just hypnotized by your stare

It feels so good when you’re loving me
But I know its only temporary
Your poison flows right through my veins
The sweet I had turns sour baby
You leave leave me with a bad
Aftertaste

Do you know what it tastes like
The bitter sweet sugar without a spice
I’m just so so damn tired
Of eating up all your lies
Cause it don’t taste right

It feels so good when you’re loving me
But I know its only temporary
Your poison flows right through my veins
The sweet I had turns sour baby
You leave leave me with a bad
Aftertaste

It feels so good when you’re loving me
But I know its only temporary
Your poison flows right through my veins
The sweet I had turns sour baby
You leave leave me with a bad
Aftertaste
Track Name: Jealousy
Jealousy
Betsey Long

Hey baby can you imagine if I did the cheating
Had a different guy each night
But always lied to you

I’d bring him home from some new club
And tell him that it’s you I love
But really I could care less if you loved me too

You think I’m stupid
This is so abusive
How can you tell me to
Watch it when I’m not the one who does the cheating
You are so pathetic
So I think I’ll teach a hard deceptive lesson

Jealousy Jealousy Jealous
Jealousy my enemy jealousy
Hows if feel to have it
You’re so Jealousy Jealous Jealousy
Jealousy Jealousy Jealous
Jealousy my enemy jealousy
Hows it feel to have it
You’re so Jealousy Jealous Jealousy
Jealousy Jealous Jealousy
Jealous Jealousy

Hey baby can you imagine if you caught me cheating
Would it feel like you were bleeding
Because that’s how you make me feel
I would just keep telling you to straighten up
You’re crazy to think I would do something so awful to you.

You think I’m stupid
This is so abusive
How can you tell me to
Watch it when I’m not the one who does the cheating
You are so pathetic
So I think I’ll teach a hard deceptive lesson

Jealousy Jealousy Jealous
Jealousy my enemy jealousy
Hows if feel to have it
You’re so Jealousy Jealous Jealousy

Track Name: Valentine
Valentine
Betsey Long

You are what I want to be
So worry and carefree
But now you need to know what I need
A man who loves so dangerously
And drops the fake i.d.
To prove to me he's really mine
It's time to say,
Give me what you have baby
I'll show you what to do
Come on we'll fix this
I have to have you
Just be the one I love

You could be my valentine
Kiss me in the morning light
You could be my valentine
You could be my valentine
Make me stay up late at night
You could be my valentine

Why do we just run and hide
Each time a heart collides
Can you just tell me why
Give
Give
Give into my plea
Oh come on we both know it's not just me
Oh baby you can't just run and hide because it's nature and I'm here tonight
Give me what you have baby
I'll show you what to do
Come on we'll fix this
I have to have you
Just be the one I love

You could be my valentine
Kiss me in the morning light
You could be my valentine
You could be my valentine
Make me stay up late at night
You could be my valentine

I never want to spend another day without your smile
The warmth in your eyes is so captivating I'm in love
I don't wanna know what it feels like not to have you in my life
Be my valentine

You could be my valentine
Kiss me in the morning light
You could be my valentine
You could be my valentine
Make me stay up late at night
You could be my valentine
Track Name: Self Respect
Self Respect
Brett Vargason/Tom Michael/Betsey Long/Soulstice/Todd Shay




Did your mother fail to hold you
Did your father always scold you
Is that why you wanna try to
Take my man and make him love you

I don't care, what you've been through
I think it's time you knew


Girl you need a little self respect
Why you gotta act like that
Do you know who you're messing with
You sneak around behind my back
Asking where my boy is at
You aint got no self respect


Do you think that you can fool me
You act like a friend because you wanna be
Close enough so you can touch him
Cause you're really just a enemy

I don't know what you're thinking
Is this the way you think love goes



Girl you need a little self respect
Why you gotta act like that
Do you know who you're messing with
You sneak around behind my back
Asking where my boy is at
You aint got no self respect


Maybe someday when you're left all alone
You'll learn how to find you a man of your own
Will you know what to do
When you see him with girls like you



Baby ignore the haters
Don't ask them for no favors
We on the floor with Lakers
Florida, California, Vegas
Sol, Betsey Long
Keep it sexy every song
It's poppin bet we on
Time you roll up, we gone


Girl you need a little self respect
Why you gotta act like that
Do you know who you're messing with
You sneak around behind my back
Asking where my boy is at
You aint got no self respect

Girl you need a little self respect
Why you gotta act like that
Do you know who you're messing with
You sneak around behind my back
Asking where my boy is at
You aint got no self respect


You ain't got not self respect
