My Way
Manika

Verse 1
It's crazy how it starts off
When I needed help when I was lost
I could always count on you
But then you got controlling
Acting like you owned me
And always telling me what to do

Pre-chorus
I've been obeying for a while
But now your time is running out
I'm getting tired of these games
I'm bout a break out of these chains

Chorus
Listen to what I gotta say
The situation ain't going your way
Cuz Ima do me
Let it just be
Ima do it my way

Don't matter if you say I'm wrong
Gonna listen to my heart and be strong
So please best believe
No more you, it's me
Ima do it my way

Verse 2
Facing more problems
You try and tell me how to solve them
But with you I always fail
You take away the meaning
Cuz with you there is no feeling
You just nag and nag telling me what to do

Pre-chorus
I've been obeying for a while
But now your time is running out
I'm getting tired of these games
I'm bout a break out of these

Chorus
Listen to what I gotta say
The situation ain't going your way
Cuz Ima do me
Let it just be
Ima do it my way

Don't matter if you say I'm wrong
Gonna listen to my heart and be strong
So please best believe
No more you, it's me
Ima do it my way

Bridge
No turning back on anything I've said
I'm going forward with my life so I can find someone
Who will treat me like he should and will always understand
You thought you could control me, that's what I'm saying

Chorus
Listen to what I gotta say
The situation ain't going your way
Cuz Ima do me
Let it just be
Ima do it my way

Don't matter if you say I'm wrong
Gonna listen to my heart and be strong
So please best believe
No more you, it's me
Ima do it my way

Chorus
Listen to what I gotta say
The situation ain't going your way
Cuz Ima do me
Let it just be
Ima do it my way

Don't matter if you say I'm wrong
Gonna listen to my heart and be strong
So please best believe
No more you, it's me
Ima do it my way

Ima do it my way
Ima do it my way
Do it my way

CRYING BIG FAT TEARS

WITH A HOLE IN MY HEART

I AM A GOOD GIRL AND I DESERVE A NICE BOYFRIEND

SOMEBODY HAS TO CALL AND TELL HIM

CHORUS
How can i let you go so easy
Please belive me its not that simple
How can i let you up and leave me
Well i just cant let you go
I just cant let you go oh no

LIL TWIST RAP
It was love in the air when I met her
And now im feeling that I could a did better
You know what how can i ever let her lie to my face and get away with
That's why I wear my heart on my sleeves its tight knitted
It felt good in the beginning babe when im committed
And all im wishing is to get my appt a resubmitted
And maybe you wouldnt love me enough if i had a touch
And explain that i really just had enough
I hope that you could understand
Now good luck finding a better man

VERSE 1
Started out as a typical day
Turned on the radio they were playing our song
And it felt so surreal
Cuz now I just keep thinking about soon youll be leaving town
Yeah I'm a big girl but these butterflies are real
Wish i could make you stay ay ay ay hey ey ey ey

CHORUS
How can i let you go so easy
Please belive me its not that simple
How can i let you up and leave me
Well i just cant let you go
I just cant let you go oh no

VERSE 2
Okay, okay i wont complain
But my hearts the one to blame
I knew some day you'd have to leave
Why'd i let this get to me
Cause you caused this love infection
So i cant break this connection
I don't wanna be difficult but
I wish theres a way to make you stay ay ay ay hey ey ey ey

CHORUS
How can i let you go so easy
Please belive me its not that simple
How can i let you up and leave me
Well i just cant let you go
I just cant let you go oh no
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just cant let you go

LIL TWIST RAP 2
Look baby I just need you to let me go
And if im trippin just let me know
It was all fun in games just a year ago
And me I'm trying my hardest love not to let it show
Feel me but trying to give the real me
But now you broke my heart and im looking for love to heal me
I wish you could've worked out before I irked out
And we were on the right path now I have to re-route

CHORUS
How can i let you go so easy
Please belive me its not that simple
How can i let you up and leave me
Well i just cant let you go
I just cant let you go oh no
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just cant let you go
No-oh
No no no
I just can't let you go
