Don't tell me no. Just tell me yes. I see your red heart beating out your chest. Let's walk on fire. I'll take you high. I'll make your head feel better than the best. Yellow, paint it gold. I wanna rock you, til you roll. Hello, do what you're told. I wanna rock you, til you roll. Shut your mouth, and close your eyes. Put your fingers to the sky. Just sit back and turn it up. Take it, til ya had too much. Feel the rush, getting close. Let me be your overdose. Let me be your overdose. Let me be your overdose. Let me be your overdose.

When you're fighting, I'm fighting and when you're packing, I'm packing. When you're riding, I'm riding and when you're laughing, I'm laughing. And when I'm looking in your eyes it's like I'm looking at lightning. Since the day that you struck me, it's like my black clouds are whitening. Nobody got me 'til you were standing beside me. I was better off dead 'til you shook up my head. And that's why, I'ma ride or die. I'm your ride or die bitch, I'll never ask why. You know that I got you, you know I won't cry. I'm your ride or die bitch, nowhere to hide. Call me your Bonnie, I'll call you my Clyde like whoop whoop. When you hear those sirens coming, boy, whoop whoop. We're never gonna freeze, whoop whoop. When they wonder who's running, boy, whoop whoop. That's the sound of the police. Whoop whoop. When you hear those sirens coming, boy, whoop whoop. We're never gonna freeze, whoop whoop. When they wonder who's running, boy, whoop whoop. That's the sound of the police. Whoop whoop, that's the sound of the police. Whoop whoop, that's the sound of the police. Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh.

Mm, oh. Mm, oh, ah, oh! I'm not ashamed of who I've become. This brand-new rhythm. It makes me feel like I'm far from gone. I'm stronger than I've ever been before. Lioness. Lioness. Lioness. Lioness.

We've got that rabbit love. That kind you'd shake to your bread. Just like a glass of whiskey, we get better with age. We've been to hell and back, it didn't tear us apart. Oh, you held me close when the days got hard. I won't forget it, got me indebted. No one on this earth could ever love me like you do. I'll never leave you, couldn't be deeper. Oh, you're the real thing. Oh, you're the real thing. Oh, you're the real thing. When I die, I know I want my bones right next to you. I won't forget it, got me indebted. No one on this earth could ever love me like you do. I'd never leave you, couldn't be deeper. Oh, you're the real thing. Oh, you're the real thing. Oh, you're the real thing. When I die, I know I want my bones right next to you.

I believe, I believe I'll go back home. I believe, I believe I'll go back home. You can mistreat me here, babe, but you can't when I go home. And I'm getting up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my broom. I'm getting up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my broom. Girlfriend, the black man you been loving, girlfriend, can get my room. I'm gonna call up Chiney, see if my good girl over there. I'm gonna call up China, see if my good girl over there. If I can't find her on Philippine's island, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere.

You know they'll pick you up and down. Yeah they'll carry you around and around just as soon as your back is turned. They'll be trying to crush you down. You just bear this in mind. True friends are hard to find. Don't you mind people grinning in your face. Don't you mind people grinning in your face. Don't you mind people grinning in your face. You just bear this in mind. True friends are hard to find. Don't you mind people grinning in your face. Don't you mind people grinning in your face.

My hands are tied, ain't no mercy for mothers. You threw me out at my most vulnerable. Just like the trash on the edge of the sidewalk. You left me there, darling, leave this to know. I'm not ashamed of who I've become. This brand new rhythm, it makes me feel like I'm far from done. I'm stronger than I ever been before. Lioness. Lioness. Lioness. Lioness.

My God, these things are really hard to change. And yes, there's always someone I could blame, but that don't make the story easier. With it, nobody sees, won't stop pulling on me. These scars make it so hard. Finding the answers now inside instead of out. Reaching to go deeper. Help me help myself. I'm tired of reaching out for somebody else, oh. I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna get me some liberation. Oh, I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna get me some liberation.

Lord have mercy, lord have mercy on me. Lord have mercy, lord have mercy on me. Well, if I done somebody wrong, lord, have mercy if you please. I used to have plenty money, the finest clothes in town. Bad luck and trouble overtook me, well now, bound to get me down. Please have mercy, lord, have mercy on me. Well, if I done somebody wrong, lord, have mercy if you please. Keep on working now, child, whoa, in the morning, oh. Well, if I've been a bad girl, baby, then I'll change my ways. Don't want bad luck and trouble to worry me all my days. Please, please, please have mercy, lord, have mercy on me. Well, if I done somebody wrong, lord, have mercy if you please.

When I was down and screaming, you were holding my hand. When I was in the deep and you kept really mean, nothing could stop this train, oh, it was set to arrive. When I went through hell, you were by my side. I won't forget it, got me indebted. No one on this earth could ever love me like you do. I'd never leave you, couldn't be deeper. Oh, you're the real thing. Oh, you're the real thing. Oh, you're the real thing. When I die, I know I want my bones right next to you.

I feel it inside my bones, I don't know what it is. From the first day that I met you, something was different. You listened to me like no one I knew ever did. Like I knew you from another life. I saw all these visions inside of my head. I tried to let you go, but darling, oh, I just couldn’t. And now it's just so crazy, we're living what we dreamt. Guess it's true that when you know, you know. Supernatural feeling in my bones. Like we've already been. I get déjà vu when I look at you. Like a dream I've been in. Clairvoyant.

Something you got, baby. You make me work all day. Oh, something you got. Make me bring you all my pay. Something you got, baby. You ought to know. I said, my, my, whoa, oh. I love you so.

Sometimes I feel like the world is against me 'cause I'm a female and man, it's a shame. The moment I told you I was expecting, it's like your eyes couldn't see me the same. I'm not ashamed of who I've become. This brand new rhythm, it makes me feel like I'm far from done. I'm stronger than I've ever been before. Lioness. Lioness. Lioness. Lioness.

Help me help myself. I'm tired of reaching out for somebody else. I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna get me some liberation. There's always a new man to hide behind. And now I see I've done it all my life. So baby, please don't take this the wrong way. Help me help myself. I'm tired of reaching out for somebody else. I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna get me some liberation.

Don't you mind people grinning in your face. Don't you mind people grinning in your face. You know your mother will talk about you. Yeah your brothers and your sisters too. They don't care how you're trying to live. Well they'll talk about you still. You just bear this in mind. True friends are hard to find. Don't you mind people grinning in your face. Don't you mind people grinning in your face. Don't you mind people grinning in your face. You just bear this in mind. True friends are hard to find. Don't you mind people grinning in your face.
