Adult Contemporary Album Lyrics by Chromeo

(I Don't Need A) New Girl

Talk is cheap, we fall in love and cheat
With no apologies between us
Let's talk about loyalty, instead of lawyer fees
There's always more to please, it's too much

But baby, you keep all my attention
Ever since you stepped in the frame
I feel like this is an education
There's new rules to the game

I don't need a new, ooh
Girl, I feel so taken by you
And I know I played myself one time or two, ooh
But now I don't have eyes for anyone, anyone
I don't need a new, ooh
And girl, I feel so taken by you, ooh
And I know I played myself one time or two, ooh
But now I don't have eyes for anyone, anyone

Change of pace, when we're all outta phase
The wrong amount of space between us
But in the nick of time it'll be winter time
And we all wanna find someone to touch

But baby, you keep all my attention
Ever since you stepped in the frame
I feel like this is an education
I thought I'd like to play
But I guess you changed the game

I don't need a new, ooh
Girl, I feel so taken by you (by you)
And I know I played myself one time or two, ooh
But now I don't have eyes for anyone, anyone
I don't need a new, ooh
And girl, I feel so taken by you, ooh
And I know I played myself one time or two, ooh
But now I don't have eyes for anyone, anyone

I made up my mind, never rewind
All of your friends, they're a nuisance
Every nightfall let the chips fall, risk it all
Total recall, nice to meet y'all
It's a new dawn, got a new phone, different song
Get a move on and don't be too shy
Because I found a loophole and it's just for you and I

I don't need a new
Girl, I feel so taken by you
And I know I played myself one time or two
But now I don't have eyes for anyone, anyone
I don't need a new
And girl, I feel so taken by you
And I know I played myself one time or two
But now I don't have eyes for anyone, anyone

Got it Good

I came around to the sound of relationships
Took me a minute now I'm on a roll
But when something goes down between me and you
Then all your friends come along asking what to do, what to do

Why do I feel like entertaining them's a waste of time? Oh yeah
Wouldn't it be better if we spent the night at yours or mine? Oh my

'Cause we got it good, so good
What gives them the right to know?
What we bicker about, what we're figuring out
And is there something up behind closed doors?
Yeah, we got it good, so good
What gives them the right to know?
What we bicker about, what we're figuring out
And is there something up behind closed doors?
Behind closed doors

I graduated my way out of situationships
Took me a minute, now I found my groove (found my groove)
But it makes me sentimental, your parents are judgmental
They act like I got shit to prove, that's so rude

And every time they come between us, it's a waste of space, oh yeah
Wouldn't it be better if we spoke about it face to face? Pick a place

'Cause we got it good, so good
What gives them the right to know?
What we bicker about, what we're figuring out
And is there something up behind closed doors?
Yeah, we got it good, so good
What gives them the right to know?
What we bicker about, what we're figuring out
And is there something up behind closed doors?
Behind closed doors

'Cause we got it good, so good
What gives them the right to know?
What we bicker about, what we're figuring out
And is there something up behind closed doors?
Yeah, we got it good, so good
What gives them the right to know?
What we bicker about, what we're figuring out
And is there something up behind closed doors?
Behind closed doors

Lost And Found

Remember Steve? He's such a thief
He stole your heart and promised he would never leave
And Stephanie, oh, what a tease
We fell in love and then we turned to frenemies
Remember Rob was on his job
Until you caught him talking with your best friend
And then there was Simone, I should've known
She stuck around a minute then the next she's gone

But you're the one that got away, ran away
When they thought that you would stay down
I guess we both needed a change and it saved the day
Found a way out

Girl, we've seen it all between you and I
Exes so lame, they got no shame
If they ever run into you and I
They should apologize

I was lost, now I found you
I was lost, now I found you

Remember Paul? He's dark and tall
And handsome but he ends up playing you for a fool
And I won't even mention Ella
I could write a whole novella
'Bout the way she caught an attitude

But you're the one that got away, ran away
When they thought that you would stay down
I guess we both needed a change and it saved the day
Found a way out

Girl, we've seen it all between you and I
Exes so lame, they got no shame
And if they ever run into you and I
They should apologize

I was lost, now I found you
I was lost, now I found you
I was lost, now I found you
I was lost, now I found you

Girl, we've seen it all between you and I
And if they ever run into you and I
They should apologize

I was lost, now I found you
And I don't know what I would manage to do
I was lost, now I found you
And I don't know what I would manage to do without you
I was lost, now I found you
God only knows the type of things we've been through
I was lost, now I found you
And I don't know what I would manage to do without you

BTS

Here's a little thing I'd like to share
For those of us who've been bustin' their derriere
They got the nerve to tell us we should take good care
But that just means spend a hundred dollars on a spa
What's this about?

Yesterday the train was running late
I took the 6, I ended up on 28th
I got to work, my boss was being so irate
I hate it 'cause life's a game of hurry up and wait

So when we come home from a long week
Turn the TV on
Sit down, we don't need to speak
Though I want you so bad, I need to confess
Sometimes rest can be better than
Rest can be better than
Came home from a long week
Put a movie on
Lay down, we don't need to speak
Though I want you so bad, I need to confess
Sometimes rest can be better than
Rest can be better than sex

I've still got a couple more concerns
My girl's been dropping hints about a brand new purse
My grandma called, she said she needs a different nurse
I swear to God, late-stage capitalism is a curse

See, we've been running and moving around
Still turn around and we're broke
Putting hours in by the thousands
Like what is this, a joke?
They've got W1s and W9s and W6 and 4s
What the difference is, who knows?
We're exhausted and it shows

So when we come home from a long week
Turn the TV on
Sit down, we don't need to speak
Though I want you so bad, I need to confess
Sometimes rest can be better than
Rest can be better than
Came home from a long week
Put a movie on
Lay down, we don't need to speak
Though I want you so bad, I need to confess
Sometimes rest can be better than
Rest can be better than sex

Now we've been together for the good, the bad
The ups and downs of a relationship
And you best still believe, I've still got tricks up my sleeve
I want to show you every chance I get
But tonight's an exception
And I hope I don't let you down
If I happen to suggest
That it's no less romantic if we both catch our breath
'Cause some rest can be better than
Rest can be better than

Replacements (Extended Version)

Growing up I would refuse to admit I might of had a type
But every new encounter would never quite amount to my appetite
And now I don't know how I should go about it
I don't think that I can pretend
That somethin' about you won't keep me wanting til' the very end, very end

Time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you
Time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you

And I want you so confused
I feel lost watching the news
I've been running out of juice
I don't wanna have to choose

Settle for less, I just can't find a woman to compare to you
It's been seven years and you're still the one I feel I belong to
Tried so hard to get you out of my head
Oh, I wish you had a sister instead
I keep searching in my dreams to find a substitute

Time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you
Time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you

And now I'm just so confused
I feel lost watching the news
I've been running out of juice
I don't wanna have to choose

And I'm losing my mind 'cause I feel I've been tryin'
Tryin' for so long, tryin' for so long, woah
And I'm running out of time cause I feel we've been tryin'
We've been tryin' for so long, tryin' for so long, woah

Time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you
Time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you

And time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you
And time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you

And it's time to move on
Time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you
And it's time to move on
Time again
I find replacements but they still feel like you
And it's time to move on

Lonesome Nights

I was sitting at a coffee shop
And a conversation that I overheard
Inadvertently, it got me reminiscing 'bout her
I always say that
You oughta know that love keeps coming back
There's never closure, it's never closure
As luck would have it she just called me back
Here's what I told her, this what I told her

You know I feel alone some nights
I still think of having you over
It's something 'bout these lonesome nights
Makes me feel like having you over
And if you run a little late
Girl, I can relate, it's on you
And if you run a little late
I'll just be here waiting on you

Then she started bringing up the past
I was ducking and dodging her accusations
But I couldn't last
My excuses weren't a match for her actual facts
So then I said, "Everyone deserves a second chance
It's never closure, 'cause there's never closure
And if it was a different circumstance
We could be closer, I think we'd be closer"

You know I feel alone some nights
I still think of having you over
It's something 'bout these lonesome nights
Makes me feel like having you over
And if you run a little late
Girl, I can relate, it's on you
And if you run a little late
I'll just be here waiting on you

Now it's half past 3:00, you ain't here with me
And I kept the door open since 11:30
I should've looked for a sign, read between the lines
But I struggle sometimes
And I don't know why

You know I feel alone some nights
I still think of having you over
It's something 'bout these lonesome nights
Makes me feel like having you over

Never wanted to see you go
Never wanted this to be over
Never wanted to see you go
Never wanted this to be over
Never wanted to see you go
Never wanted this to be over
Never wanted to see you go
Never wanted this to be over

Personal Effects

She knew just what she was doing
Leaving her personal effects behind
I know I'll find him one night
And she'll probably be on my mind
Oh, yeah
She knew just what she was doing
Leaving her personal effects behind
I know I'll find him one night
And she'll probably be on my mind

Alone in my apartment
I'm humming to the tune of my favorite song
And my baby's gone
But the way we said goodbye
I could tell she wasn't into moving on
Look at my phone charger, that's not mine
Curling iron, that's not mine
Hair ties, not mine
She loses hair ties all the time
So many reminders, it's not unintentional
And this is why I think

She knew just what she was doing
Leaving her personal effects behind
I know I'll find him one night and she'll probably be on my mind
Oh, yeah
She knew just what she was doing
Leaving her personal effects behind
I know I'll find him one night
And she'll probably be on my mind

Whoever gives your tips about relationships
Let me tell you something, they're a damn liar
'Cause you never know the baggage to unpack
Even when they've packed their bags
For instance, I look inside my drawers
I look inside my head, but one day, what's mine is yours
Nowadays your stuff just lingers, all these reminders
It's not unintentional

And this is why I think she knew just what she was doing
Leaving her personal effects behind
I know I'll find him one night
And she'll probably be on my mind
Oh, yeah
She knew just what she was doing
Leaving her personal effects behind
I know I'll find him one night
And she'll probably be on my mind

She Knows It (Personal Effects, Pt. 2)

I know exactly what you're doing, girl
I see right through your little scheme
You leave a mess, it leaves me hanging by a string now

She knows it, she knows it
She knows it, yup, she knows it

I know exactly what you're doing, girl
I see right through you like a clear glass window (window)
You leave a mess and then my life's in limbo, girl

She knows it, she knows it
She knows it, yup, she knows it

Hey, P, did you see the stunt she pulled? (What is it?)
She left her charger by the bed (so what, so what?)
Well, when I see it, I'm a plug my phone and call her and

She knows it, she knows it
She knows it, yup, she knows it

She knew just what she was doin'
Leaving her personal effects behind
I know I'll find 'em one night and
She knows it, yup, she knows it

She knows it, she knows it
She knows it, yup, she knows it

She knew just what she was doin'
Leaving her personal effects behind
I know I'll find 'em one night and
She'll probably be on my mind

She knows it, she knows it
She knows it, yup, she knows it

Hello?
Is this Chromeo?
Yo, you already know what it is
Keep the funk forever alive
And you got to funk on until you die
You dig that there?
Dj Quicksand, hallelujah

Ballad Of The Insomniacs

If you're an insomniac
Where's the party at tonight?
Uh-huh
If you're an insomniac
Where's the party at tonight?
Uh-huh

You got me lying awake at night
Tossing and turning
Mind awake all night
Tossing around and 'round
Lying awake at night
Tossing and turning, oh (whoa-whoa)

You got me lying awake at night
Tossing and turning
Mind awake all night
Tossing around and 'round
Lying awake at night
Tossing and turning, oh

I ain't blaming you but
Ever since we broke up
I've been sleeping bad, mhm
It ain't your fault or my fault
It doesn't seem to let up
After weeks done passed, uh-uh

And now I feel desire burning
And the room is spinning 'round and 'round
I can't believe the noise I'm hearing
Is it you that made a sound?
'Cause it's about to go down

You got me lying awake at night
Tossing and turning
Mind awake all night
Tossing around and 'round
Lying awake at night
Tossing and turning, oh (whoa-whoa)

You got me lying awake at night
Tossing and turning
Mind awake all night
Tossing around and 'round
Lying awake at night
Tossing and turning, oh

Could it be that we left things without a resolution?
Could it be that we left things in an awkward place?
Could it be that it's a lack of communication
That just pushed you to disappear without a trace?

And now I feel desire burning
And the room is spinning 'round and 'round
A glass of water from the kitchen
You went missing
And I'm hoping you can be found

You got me lying awake at night
Tossing and turning
Mind awake all night
Tossing around and 'round
Lying awake at night
Tossing and turning, oh

If you're an insomniac
Where's the party at tonight?
Uh-huh
If you're an insomniac
Where's the party at tonight?
Uh-huh
If you're an insomniac
Where's the party at tonight?
Uh-huh
If you're an insomniac
Where's the party at tonight?
Uh-huh

Is there anybody up right now?
Come and hit me up right now
Is there anybody up right now?
Come and hit me up right now (Is there anybody up?)
Is there anybody up right now?
Come and hit me up right now (Is there anybody up?)
Is there anybody up right now?
Come and hit me up right now

Come gimme your hip

How am I supposed to get a grip, grip
When you're such a good catch?
You got brunch with your girls, I can tag along
Wanna run down to the store, can I chaperone?
Got a meeting at work, I can take notes
Jot down anecdotes

And I only wanna be with you
How many years of therapy? A few
And I hope that I can see it through
You got pictures at your house, I can hang 'em up
Even if all my friends tell me, "Hang it up"
When you leave me on read, I feel left for dead
I know it's in my head, rather be in your bed

I'm codependent (coda, coda, coda)
Codependent on you (coda, coda, coda)
And I won't be independent (coda, coda, coda)

Words With You

When we met, I thought to myself
"She must be Heaven sent", ah, yeah
But as of late
Communication started to deteriorate
Not great

Now I gotta have a word with you
I gotta have a word with you

I heard the rumors
Percolating 'round us
I didn't listen too much
I was in denial (in denial)
I didn't think that acting shady was your style
For a while

Now I gotta have a word with you
I gotta have a word with you
Let me get a word or two
I gotta have a word with you

A simple word called trust
That's between the two of us
I wouldn't want to play with that, no
'Cause if I rocked the boat
You'd be coming at my throat
Why'd you want to break the pact?

So I gotta have a word with you
I gotta have a word with you
Let me get a word or two
Yeah, I gotta have a word with you

I don't wanna do a Q&A
No fingerprints or DNA
No need for an interview
Just a word with you

I don't wanna do a Q&A
No fingerprints or DNA
No need for an interview
Just a word or two

I don't wanna do a Q&A
No fingerprints or DNA
No need for an interview
Just a word with you

I don't wanna do a Q&A
No fingerprints or DNA
No need for an interview
Just a word with you

I just gotta share what's been on my mind
After all this time, I want you to know
I said, I just gotta share what's been on my mind
After all this time, I want you to know
Yeah, I just gotta share what's been on my mind
After all this time, I want you to know

A Cut Above

I think about the way you left
How things went a little left
We shouldn't have cut loose
You said that you had no regrets
Ready to go, no stress
I shouldn't obtrude

But you can't deny it, it's a higher love
And that's not something you lose
No doubt about it, it's a cut above
And that's too precious to lose

You wanted me to validate
Your need to reevaluate
I thought it was foolish
I should've learned to compromise
I think about it always
Instead of making excuses
'Cause it's a-

A different kind of feeling
You don't question twice
When I think about you and I
Reminisce about you and I
A different kind of feeling
That cuts like a knife
When I think about you and I
And the way we just threw it out

Let's take a sec and throw it back
Four months I didn't know that
Things started to go south
It sounded pretty ideal
But, for you, it was a raw deal
The words we don't say out loud

'Til it was both of us standing
In the torrential rain
And you heard my demands
But you didn't want to mention names
It's okay, it's all fine
Like we're too mature to fight
But the two of us just went our separate ways
And called it a night, so it's a-

A different kind of feeling
You don't question twice
When I think about you and I
Reminisce about you and I
A different kind of feeling
That cuts like a knife
When I think about you and I
And the way we just threw it out

Friendsnlovers

You followed up
The day you called me up
Man, I knew what the drama would be
Obviously we got along
Taurus and a Capricorn
Karma gon' get me

They say, "Don't let none of your fears get in the way of your dreams"
But don't get any ideas 'cause we both know what it means

But, darling, we both know what not to do
Lovers and friends don't mix
Darling, we both know where not to kiss
Lovers and friends don't mix
'Cause twelve hours later, we'll be up 'til the sunrise
With problems that we can't fix
So, darling, we both know what not to do
Lovers and friends don't mix

They don't mix, I'd be remiss
If I didn't mention there's a line
That you don't cross and you can't miss
I'm sorry if I'm outta line
I'm at a loss, I'm being cross
I can't relax, I can't resist

Now, don't let none of your fears get in the way of your dreams
But don't get any ideas 'cause we both know what it means

But, darling, we both know what not to do
Lovers and friends don't mix
Darling, we both know where not to kiss
Lovers and friends don't mix
'Cause twelve hours later, we'll be up 'til the sunrise
With problems that we can't fix
So, darling, we both know what not to do
Lovers and friends don't mix

It's been really
It's been really interesting getting to know you but
I mean, I guess
All good things must come to an end, right?

But, darling (darling), we know just what not to do
Lovers and friends don't mix
darling (darling), we know just what not to do
Lovers and friends don't mix (lovers and friends don't)
darling (darling), we know just what not to do
Lovers and friends don't mix (lovers and friends don't)
So darling (darling), we know just what not to do
Lovers and friends don't mix

Two of Us (Friendsnlovers, Pt. 2)

Just the two of us, ambiguous
Lovers and friends don't mix
It's the two of us, ambiguous
Lovers and friends don't mix

You see, I met her in the summer
Got cozy in the fall
Two months later, it was off the wall

'Cause it's the two of us, ambiguous
Lovers and friends don't mix
Oh, it's the two of us, ambiguous
Lovers and friends don't mix (lovers and friends don't)

I thought it was a fling
Wasn't my thing
But two months later, I was hiding my ring

Just the two of us, ambiguous
Lovers and friends don't mix
Oh, it's the two of us, ambiguous
Lovers and friends don't mix

Two of us
Just the two of us (thought it was a fling)
Two of us (so ambiguous)
Just the two of us

Cool
