Lyrics of the Lost

Play along at home with the lyrics:

[intro]

She leads a lonely life

Mm, she leads a lonely life

[Verse 1]

When she woke up late in the morning light

And the day had just begun

She opened up her eyes and thought

"Oh, what a morning"

It's not a day for work

It's a day for catching tan

Just lying on the beach and having fun

She's going to get you

[Chorus]

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby

[Post-Chorus]

All that she wants - all that she wants

[Verse 2]

So if you are in sight and the day is right

She's a hunter you're the fox

The gentle voice that talks to you

Won't talk forever

It's a night for passion

But the morning means goodbye

Beware of what is flashing in her eyes

She's going to get you

[Chorus x2]

[Outro]

All that she wants … all that she wants

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

But if you never try, you'll never know

Just what you're worth

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face, and I...

You can say that we are nothing but you know the truth

And guess i'm the fool

With her arms out like an angel through the car sunroof

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't wanna call it off

But you don't wanna call it love

You just wanna love someone who calls you baby

[Chorus]

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars

Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling

You can say it's just the way you are

Make a new excuse another stupid reason

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

[Verse 2]

I’m cliche

Who cares

It's a sexually explicit kind of love affair

And i cry, it's not fair

I just need a little lovin’ i just need a little air

Think im gonna call it off

Even if you call it love

I just wanna love someone who calls me baby

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

[Bridge]

And when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night

With your head in your hands you’re nothing more than his wife

And when you think about me all of those years ago

You're standing face to face with ""i told you so""

You know I hate to say , i told you so

You know i hate to say it but, i told you so

Well i told you so

[Chorus]

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars

Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling

You can say it's just the way you are

Make a new excuse another stupid reason

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!
