Easy come, Easy go
That's just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all
But you never give
Should have known you was trouble
From the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand, is
I'll catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'll jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'll do anything for ya
Oh, oh I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes I would die for ya baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no, oh
Black, black
Black and blue
Beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said hey
When you get back to where you're from
Bad women, mad women
That's just what you are
Yeah you'll smile in my face
Then rip the breaks out my car
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'll catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on the blade for ya
I'll jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'll do anything for ya
Oh, oh I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes I would die for ya baby
But you won't do the same
If my body was on fire
Ooh you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never, ever, ever did baby
But darling I'll still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on the blade for ya
I'll jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'll do anything for ya
Ooh, ooh I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes I would die for ya baby
But you won't do the same
No you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Ooh you'd never do the same
No, no, no, no, oh

Just The Way You Are
[Intro: J. Reyez]
Alright, I do this for all of you.
I make music for love, the love of everything.
J. Reyez... Bruno Mars...
C'mon!
[Verse 1: J. Reyez]
When I wake up next to you girl
It's like a dream and I'm stuck in two worlds
You're beautiful and you're always shining
Your happiness to me is worth more than diamonds
Many people are there, but you're worth keeping
The same letters, three words and one meaning
I love you, but we have our little arguments
That don't stop untill we forgot who started it
I blank out and the thoughts around in me
You and I, everytime you smiled at me
And I'm blessed, god's gift to me is you
Your eyes, the world I see in you
And time never goes to waste,
Don't change, cause you can never be replaced
This love, you can never rearrange
Everytime when I see your face.
[Refrain: Bruno Mars]
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are.
[Verse 2: J. Reyez]
Just the way you express with "ing" girl
You're nothing short of my everything
And every memory so sentimental
Your happiness is my essential
This a way for me to say thanks
No stress, I want you to give me strenght
When I'm hurting, you're so close to perfect
But to the world you're just one person
But to that person you mean the world is just
How we ride, me and my girl, uhh.
We do this Bonnie and Clyde shit
We fall together, we coincided
The way to my heart it was hard to find it
But you found dead deep down inside of this love
You can never rearrange,
Everytime when I see your face.
[Refrain: Bruno Mars]
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are [x2]
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah-ahh.
Alright, I do this for all of you.
I make music for love, the love of everything.

The Lazy Song
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Uh, I'm gonna kick my feet up, then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't, no
I'll be lounging on the couch, just chillin' in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to Dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man
Oh, yes, I said it, I said it, I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all
Woo, ooh, woo, ooh, ooh
Nothing at all
Woo, ooh, woo, ooh, ooh
Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out "This is great"
(Oh my God, this is great) Yeah
I might mess around and get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry, pops, you'll just have to wait
Oh, yes, I said it, I said it, I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't goin' anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh
I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, today I don't feel like doing anything

Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone

Talking To The Moon
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbors think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have
[Chorus:]
At night when the stars
Light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say
I've gone mad
Yeah
I've gone mad
But they don't know
What I know
Cause when the
Sund goes down
Someone's talking back
Yeah
They're talking back
[Chorus:]
At night when the stars
Light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon
Do you ever hear me calling?
Cause every night
I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you
In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbors think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have
[Chorus:]
At night when the stars
Light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon

Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I'm feeling like I'm famous

Liquor Store Blues
Now greetings to the world
Standing at this liquor store
Whiskey coming through my pores
Feeling like I run this whole block
Lotto tickets cheap beer
That's why you can catch me here
Tryna scratch my way up to the top
'Cause my job got me going nowhere
So I ain't got a thing to lose
Take me to a place where I don't care
This is me and my liquor store blues
I'll take one shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
One shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
Me and my guitar tonight
Singing to the city lights
Tryna leave with more than what I got
'Cause '68 cents ain't just gonna pay the rent
So I'll be out here 'til they call the cops
'Cause my job got me going nowhere
So I ain't got a thing to lose
Take me to a place where I don't care
This is me and my liquor store blues
I'll take one shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
One shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
Here comes Junior Gong, I'm flying high like Superman
And thinking that I run the whole block
I don't know if it's just because pineapple kush between my jaws
Has got me feeling like I'm on top
Feeling like I woulda stand up to the cops
And stand up to the bigger heads because the whole a them a saps
All the talk them a talk unemployment no drop
'Nough ghetto youth cannot escape the trap
Give me this one shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
One shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
Now greetings to the world
Voice of da one called Bruno Mars, 'long side gong to da zilla

Standing at this liquor store
Whiskey coming through my pores
Feeling like I run this whole block

That's why you can catch me here
Tryna scratch my way up to the top

I'll be ok tomorrow
One shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
Me and my guitar tonight
Singing to the city lights
Tryna leave with more than what I got
'Cause '68 cents ain't just gonna pay the rent
So I'll be out here 'til they call the cops
'Cause my job got me going nowhere
So I ain't got a thing to lose
Take me to a place where I don't care
This is me and my liquor store blues
I'll take one shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
One shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
Here comes Junior Gong, I'm flying high like Superman
And thinking that I run the whole block
I don't know if it's just because pineapple kush between my jaws
Has got me feeling like I'm on top
Feeling like I woulda stand up to the cops
And stand up to the bigger heads because the whole a them a saps
All the talk them a talk unemployment no drop
'Nough ghetto youth cannot escape the trap
Give me this one shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
One shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow
Get messed up today
I'll be ok tomorrow
Now greetings to the world
Voice of da one called Bruno Mars, 'long side gong to da zilla
A.K.A. Damian junior gong Marley, yes sir
Ya best believe, ha ha (now me)

The Other Side
Truth of the matter is I'm complicated
You're as straight as they come
You go 'bout your day baby
While I had from the sun
It's better if you don't understand
Cause you won't know what it's like
Til you try
[Chorus:]
You know I've been waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I
I've been waiting on the other, waiting on the other side
We would live forever
Who could ask for more
You could die if you wanted
But baby what for
It's better if you don't understand
And you won't know what it's like
Til you try
[Chorus]
If they say life's a dream
Call this insomnia
Cause this ain't Wonderland
It damn sure ain't Narnia
And once you cross the line
You can't change your mind
Yeah I'm a monster
But I'm no Frankenstein
And quite frankly
I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
I really can't explain what I feel inside
If you knew what I was you's would run and hide
Many have tried to go into the night
Cross over the line and come back alive
But that's the price we pay when we living on the other side
[Chorus]
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
You're as straight as they come
You go 'bout your day baby
While I had from the sun
It's better if you don't understand
Cause you won't know what it's like
Til you try
[Chorus:]
You know I've been waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I
I've been waiting on the other, waiting on the other side
We would live forever
Who could ask for more
You could die if you wanted
But baby what for
It's better if you don't understand
And you won't know what it's like
Til you try
[Chorus]
If they say life's a dream
Call this insomnia
Cause this ain't Wonderland
It damn sure ain't Narnia
And once you cross the line
You can't change your mind
Yeah I'm a monster
But I'm no Frankenstein
And quite frankly
I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
I really can't explain what I feel inside
If you knew what I was you's would run and hide
Many have tried to go into the night
Cross over the line and come back alive
But that's the price we pay when we living on the other side
[Chorus]
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand

Doo-Wops & Hooligans is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. It was released on October 4, 2010, by Atlantic and Elektra Records and was made available to listen before its official release on September 24, 2010.
After the release of the EP It's Better If You Don't Understand, Mars's writing and production team, the Smeezingtons, began working on the album with Needlz, Supa Dups and Jeff Bhasker as producers. The album title was chosen to reflect simplicity and appeal to both males and females.
Doo-Wops & Hooligans draws on a variety of influences. Lyrically, the album visualizes carefree optimism along with failed relationships, pain and loneliness. Doo-Wops & Hooligans received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who praised the album's similarity to the work of American artists Michael Jackson and Jason Mraz, although others felt that the album tried too hard to appeal to all groups.
About.com's Bill Lamb and Rolling Stone's Jody Rosen called Doo-Wops & Hooligans one of the year's best debut albums.
Doo-Wops & Hooligans topped the charts in Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. It peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 albums chart and was certified seven-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), nine-times platinum by the Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ) and six-times by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). As of 2020, the album has sold over 15 million copies globally.
The first two singles, "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade" were successful internationally, topping the charts in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Subsequent singles "The Lazy Song", which topped the charts in the United Kingdom and Denmark, and "Marry You" reached the top ten in over ten countries. "Talking to the Moon" and "Count On Me" had a limited release.
At the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2011, "Just the Way You Are" received a Grammy Award in the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance category. Doo-Wops & Hooligans received five nominations for the 54th Grammy Awards in 2012, including Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Record of the Year and Song of the Year for the single "Grenade".
