(New millennium, pump this in your jeeps)
This is for all y'all out there
That ever dealt with somebody (Pump this in your jeeps)
Who lyin' fakin' cheatin'
Stealin' creeping, B-Sin' (Pump this in your jeeps)
I got this thing called the lie detector
Two tea-spoons and they're bound to tell the truth
(Pump this in your jeeps)

Listen
You told me, that I was your fantasy yeah
You said that we would practice monogamy
So I became a freak under the sheets
Put his ass to sleep creeped into the kitchen
And got the remedy it's called the lie detector
I slipped it in his drink I brought it to his bedside
And said take a sip of this and don't think
You won't believe what happened
When he sipped the lie detector
Looked into his eyes
Asked him where you been?
He said it's no surprise
Cause I've been with my ex girl
Why'd you tell me the truth?
He said you wanted to hear the truth
Sometimes I wish I never gave him a detector
I thought he loved me but he loved her
So I'm kind of glad he took the lie detector
Now I know the truth so you can get the boot

Man you have to you have to you have to go mami
Tie up tie up tie up clothes yeah
End of end of end of the road
Once you find out you gonna light up

She told you
Baby let's get married
Always been faithful
Let's spend eternity
So he became a freak under the sheets
Put her ass to sleep
Creep into the kitchen
Got the remedy
It's called the lie detector
Slipped it in her drink
Brought it to her bedside
And said take a sip of this and don't think
You won't believe what happened
When he gave the lie detector
Picked up the pager numbers
Said who's called sixty-nine?
She said don't be surprise
Cause it's been your best friend
He looked and swallow his pride
Felt like crying, but guys don't cry
Sometimes he wished he never gave her a detector
But thought she loved him, but she loved his best friend
But now he's kind of glad she took the lie detector
He found out the truth so he gave her the boot

Now to all the women in of the country
It ain't my fault
If the girl ain't want for love me
Truly want to meet me
Kind of girl that want to
Too many girls they sugar
They want to kiss me
Anyway my life is sweet
My girl is neat
I know the streets
Girls jumping at my feet
Well my brides are few
Oh I see we don't defeat
From your lovin' girl is but a treat

If you got a need for some prescriptions
(Baby it's all up to your expectations)
Make sure that it's with communication
(Look out for your man cause he put down the foundation)
Don't want to find yourself asking how did this happen
(Ma just shows my love is not open)
Friday the thirteenth went to the movies
(Baby hurry up and get goofy)

You won't believe what happened
When he sipped the lie detector
Looked into his eyes
Asked him where you been?
He said it's no surprise
Cause I've been with my ex girl
Why'd you tell me the truth?
He said you wanted to hear the truth
Sometimes I wish I never gave him a detector
I thought he loved me but he loved her
So I'm kind of glad he took the lie detector
Now I know the truth so you can get the boot
You won't believe what happened
When he gave the lie detector
Picked up the pager numbers
Said who's called sixty-nine?
She said don't be surprise
Cause it's been your best friend
He looked and swallow his pride
Felt like crying, but guys don't cry
Sometimes he wished he never gave her a detector
But thought she loved him, but she loved his best friend
But now he's kind of glad she took the lie detector
He found out the truth so he gave her the boot

Hey you have to you have to you have to go mami
Tie up tie up tie up clothes yeah
End of end of end of the road
Once you find out,ya gonna light up
You have to you have to you have to go mami
Tie up tie up tie up clothes yeah
End of end of end of the road
Once you find out you gonna light up

New millennium
R&B meets the Caribbean
About to take over the world

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
