• Boys like him make love out of nothing very fast, Leaving people behind is what he does for a living, It pays handsomely but it doesn’t last, His fingers are limousines, his lips are hotels, He confuses you with some Dutch girl called Gabrielle, He swears you’re the core of his flame, But he’s mistaken […]

  • I'm setting you free Giving you change, giving you keys I'm setting you free Lifting you up, letting you see What you've become, what you could be You are all that I have But I'm setting you free You say you're a tough girl and who am I to doubt you You picked me up […]
