Fitz and the Tantrums - Fitz & the Tantrums Album Lyrics

Turn it up
Somebody save your soul 'cause you've been sinning in this city, I know
Too many troubles, all these lovers got you losing control
You're like a drug to me, a luxury, my sugar and gold
I want the good life, every good night you're a hard one to hold

'Cause you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Somebody save your soul 'cause you've been sinning in this city, I know
Too many troubles, all these lovers got you losing control
You're like a drug to me, a luxury, my sugar and gold
I want your sex and your affection when they're holdin' you close

'Cause you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Every night when the stars come out
Am I the only living soul around?
Need to believe you could hold me down
'Cause I'm in need of somethin' good right now
We could be screamin' 'til the sun comes out
And when we wake we'd be the only sound
Get on my knees and say a prayer to James Brown

That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
(Turn it up)
That I can make your hands clap

My flesh is searchin' for your worst and best, don't ever deny
I'm like a stranger, gimme me danger, all your wrongs and your rights
Secrets on Broadway to the freeway, you're a keeper of crimes
Fear no conviction, grapes of wrath can only sweeten your wine

But you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Every night when the stars come out
Am I the only living soul around?
Need to believe you could hold me down
'Cause I'm in need of somethin' good right now
We could be screamin' 'til the sun comes out
And when we wake we'd be the only sound
Get on my knees and say a prayer to James Brown

That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
So can I get a hand clap?

Got me where you want me
Leave me cold and empty
Speeding up my heartbeat
Your lovin' never was free

Yeah, so we did this all before
Up against the bathroom door
Now I wake up on the floor
And the sky is fallin' down
We do this every night
Yeah we f*ck and then we fight

Don't ask me 'bout the things we did
It's complicated
When we get naked
But I can take it
(I love to hate it babe; I can't say no)
It's complicated
When we get naked
But I can take it
(I love to hate it babe; I can't say no)

Glowin' in the blacklight
Spinning out from last night
Burnin' down the road fast
Kissin' like a car crash

Yeah, so we did this all before
Up against the bathroom door
Now I wake up on the floor
And the sky is fallin' down
We do this every night
Yeah we f*ck and then we fight

Don't ask me 'bout the things we did
It's complicated
When we get naked
But I can take it
(I love to hate it babe; I can't say no)
It's complicated
When we get naked
But I can take it
(I love to hate it babe; I can't say no)

Hey you, don't you know
You're a wild animal
Broke my heart in two
Every time you gotta go
Hey you, don't you know
You're a wild animal
If you don't know why, then now you know

It's complicated
When we get naked
But I can take it
(I love to hate it babe; I can't say no)
It's complicated
When we get naked
But I can take it
(I love to hate it babe; I can't say no)
It's complicated

I can see you staring at the windows at night
But don't you fret my dear, I know just where I've been hiding out

Let's sit behind this fortress
I built it just to keep the whole world out
It wasn't meant for you
Look who's left a prisoner (prisoner, prisoner, prisoner)

I know what you do when our love is on fire
I've been watching you trying to b-b-b-b-b-burn it down
I know what you do when our world is on fire, fire
B-b-b-b-b-burn it down
I know what you do when our love is on fire
I've been watching you trying to b-b-b-b-b-burn it down
I know what you do when our world is on fire, fire
B-b-b-b-b-burn it down

I can see you
Battling your demons at night
You're so restless
Wish I was a reader of mind

Let's sit behind this fortress
I built it just to keep the whole world out
It wasn't meant for you
Look who's left a prisoner (prisoner, prisoner, prisoner)

I know what you do when our love is on fire
I've been watching you trying to b-b-b-b-b-burn it down
I know what you do when our world is on fire, fire
B-b-b-b-b-burn it down

Took my heart away left me hollow
And we said goodbye for tomorrow
Took my heart away left me sorrow
Then we say goodbye for tomorrow

I know what you do when our love is on fire
I've been watching you trying to b-b-b-b-b-burn it down
I know what you do when our world is on fire, fire
B-b-b-b-b-burn it down

Can I get a witness in the darkness?
Cause there ain't no love at all to be found
Feeling like a freight train, trying to break chains
Everybody needs somebody, no doubt

Sugar just step into your sneakers
And step behind the speakers
Your heart will keep me beating
And make me a believer
Don't you want me?
Don't you want me?
I need some mercy in my soul right now
Give me what you got, oh oh oh
Give me what you got, oh oh oh

(1, 2, 3, 4)
I said, roll up, roll up, roll up, yeah come get your love
I don't care, I don't care why you're dancing tonight
Just as long as you're there in the break of the light
I said, roll up, roll up, roll up, yeah come get your love
I don't care, I don't care, if I'm losing my way
I'll be waiting for you as the night fades away
So roll up
Roll up

Can I get an amen when the night ends?
There's no winner when you're walking alone
Sliding down the last street as the day creeps
What you doin' when nobody at home?

Sugar just step into your sneakers
And step behind the speakers
Your heart will keep me beating
And make me a believer
Don't you want me?
Don't you want me?
I need some mercy in my soul, come on
Give me what you got, oh oh oh
Give me what you got, oh oh oh

(1, 2, 3, 4)
I said, roll up, roll up, roll up, yeah come get your love (yeah come get your love)
I don't care, I don't care why you're dancing tonight
Just as long as you're there in the break of the light
I said, roll up, roll up, roll up, yeah come get your love (yeah come get your love)
I don't care, I don't care, if I'm losing my way
I'll be waiting for you as the night fades away
So roll up
Roll up

Shake and strut
Touch and pump
Hand in hand
For one last touch
Shake and strut
Touch and pump
Hand in hand
For one last touch
Shake and strut
Touch and pump
Hand in hand
For one last touch

Give me what you got, oh oh oh

I said, roll up, roll up, roll up, yeah come get your love (yeah come get your love)
I don't care, I don't care where you're dancing tonight
Just as long as you're there in the break of the light
I said, roll up, roll up, roll up, yeah come get your love (yeah come get your love)
I don't care, I don't care, if I'm losing my way
I'll be waiting for you as the night fades away
So roll up
Roll up

I'm a nasty habit
But I'm about to do
That's a pass of passion
(Away-away-away)
What's a little to danger
If I'm next to you
Cause it's human nature
(Away-away-away)

So if you're patient, I'll be worth your time
Just tell me that you need me
You can make this anything you like
But good things don't come easy

I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back
I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back

Got a reputation
That I'm out to play
But you changed the station
(Away-away-away)
Why do I deserve you when you're stuck with me?
You're my favorite virtue
(Away-away-away)

So if you're patient, I'll be worth your time
Just tell me that you need me
You can make this anything you like
But good things don't come easy

I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back
I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back
I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back
I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back

I love the way, I love the way you love me back
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way, I love the way you love me back
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way, I love the way you love me back
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way, I love the way you love me back

I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back
I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back
I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back
I am a, I am a, I'm a tricky one (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
I love the way you love me back

I just want you to fade back into me
I just need you to fade back

Static room, me and you
I feel the frequency shift
You play along when we kiss
But I can read your lips, woah

It just feels like your heart ain't, your heart ain't in it
Wish that I could just stop the universe from spinning

I just want you to fade back into me
I just need you to fade back
Just fade back into me
I just want you to fade back into me
I just need you to fade back
Just fade back into me
Just fade back into me

Reckless heart, miles apart
The accents turns into flips
Magnetic pulse, lovely ghost
Who I go down with this ship (woah)

It just feels like your heart ain't, your heart ain't in it
Wish that I could just stop the universe from spinning

I just want you to fade back into me
I just need you to fade back
Just fade back into me
I just want you to fade back into me
I just need you to fade back
Just fade back into me

Just fade back into me
Just fade back into me
Just fade back into me

Yeah, we're coming to the ball tonight
You pull away, but I, I, I just can't stop it
Trying to [?] your soul
But the story's told, and I just can't stop it

It just feels like your heart ain't, your heart ain't in it
Wish that I could just stop the universe from spinning

I just want you to fade back into me
I just need you to fade back
Just fade back into me
I just want you to fade back into me
I just need you to fade back
Just fade back into me

Just fade back into me
Just fade back into me
Just fade back into me
Just fade back into me
Just fade back into me

I been chasing empty spaces
To hold a piece of you
But you ain't waiting, am I fading?
Is there nothing I can do?

And babe if I change
Could you find faith
It's a blind shame, in my room

So please come back, stay
It's a black day
Since you gone, chase after you

I said you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
There you go
I said you run it, run it
Oh, you run it, run it
No, I shouldn't have done it
Now I know

I said you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
There you go
I said you run it, run it
Oh, you run it, run it
No, I shouldn't have done it
Now I know

Tell me are you lonely when you find another piece of me?
'Cause I don't blame you
Tell me, it's true
I'm still the one you need

And babe if I change
Could you find faith
It's a blind shame, I believe

So please come back, stay
It's a black day
Since you gone, I'm on my knees

I said you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
There you go
I said you run it, run it
Oh, you run it, run it
No, I shouldn't have done it
Now I know, oh oh

There you go
Now I know, oh

I can't change
All these bad days
It's a damn shame in my skin
And maybe someday you'll forgive me
And you'll love me once again

I said you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
There you go
I said you run it, run it
Oh, you run it, run it
No, I shouldn't have done it
Now I know

I said you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
Yeah you run it, run it
There you go
I said you run it, run it
Oh, you run it, run it
No, I shouldn't have done it
Now I know

There you go
Now I know, oh

In my head, I'm at home
I'm in the part of my life, a life on the ropes
Higher ground, been so low
I will survive in the wild, a mind of my own

Oh mister, I won't change my ways
I don't hear a word you say, hey hey
If you think I'm good as gone, no no
You're dead wrong, you're dead wrong
I move on

Oh, when your heart starts beating
Oh, can you feel it, feel it?
Oh, when your soul ain't breathing
You get right back
You get right back
Oh, when your heart starts beating
Oh, can you feel it, feel it?
Oh, when you stop believing
You get right back
You get right back

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

What you need?
What you want?
It's time to open your eyes and find what you lost
Take a stand when you fall
Don't let them pigeon your mind, you never get caught

Oh mister, I won't change my ways
I don't hear a word you say, hey hey
If you think I'm good as gone, no no
You're dead wrong, you're dead wrong
I move on

Oh, when your heart starts beating
Oh, can you feel it, feel it?
Oh, when your soul ain't breathing
You get right back
You get right back
Oh, when your heart starts beating
Oh, can you feel it, feel it?
Oh, when you stop believing
You get right back
You get right back

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

What you came for?
In the danger
With the stranger, lose control
Going all night, on the frontline
'Til the sun dies, don't let go

I won't change my ways
I don't hear a word you say, hey hey
If you think I'm good as gone, no no
You're dead wrong, you're dead wrong
I move on

Oh, when your heart starts beating
Oh, can you feel it, feel it?
Oh, when your soul ain't breathing
You get right back
You get right back
Oh, when your heart starts beating
Oh, can you feel it, feel it?
Oh, when you stop believing
You get right back
You get right back

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

You're kryptonite
You make me weak, I know the type
Rattle my bones, and my heart can't take it
I'm terrified, I know it's probably suicide
But I don't care, it's a sweet temptation

Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'd like to think that I could just leave
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Then you turn around and tug on my leash

You know how to put me through it (Do what you want)
The way you love is super human (Do what you want)
And I'm prepared to take a bruising
I, I, I, I like what you're doing
So do what you want, what you want with me

I scream your name
The stars are going up in flames
You fill me up, but the water's shallow
I take the blame
Your love might be the enemy
Up on the edge
Where you go, I follow

Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'd like to think that I could just leave
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Then you turn around and tug on my leash

You know how to put me through it (Do what you want)
The way you love is super human (Do what you want)
And I'm prepared to take a bruising
I, I, I, I like what you're doing
So do what you want, what you want with me

Do what you want, what you want with me

I'll be your prisoner
I'll take the blame
I'm never leaving you, I like the pain
I keep forgiving ya
My heart's in chains
I'm never leaving you, I like the pain

I'll be your prisoner
I'll take the blame
I'm never leaving you, I like the pain
I keep forgiving ya
My heart's in chains
I'm never leaving you

You know how to put me through it (Do what you want)
The way you love is super human (Do what you want)
And I'm prepared to take a bruising

So do what you want, what you want with me

Do what you want, what you want with me
Do what you want, what you want with me

I'll be your prisoner
I'll take the blame
I'm never leaving you
Do what you want, what you want with me
I keep forgiving ya
My heart's in chains
I'm never leaving you
Do what you want, what you want with me

I'm, I'm, I'm the walking target

And take you away
Yeah take you away

For all you f*cking renegades
Crouch into your barricades
A future ain't no guarantee
We're all just floating out at sea

'Cause we're marching to the beat out in the open air
And we're all just broken pieces trying to fit somewhere

We wander 'round in circles and we talk in squares
But as long as we're together we can go anywhere

Yeah there's a place for us
(Yeah there's a place for us)
Where only we can go
(Where only we can go)
So break down the door, knock out the lights
We're gonna be just fine
'Cause there's a place for us
(Yeah there's a place for us)

To all those kings we idolize
All those dreams now realized
A future ain't no guarantee
We're all just floating out at sea

'Cause we're marching to the beat out in the open air
And we're all just broken pieces trying to fit somewhere

Yeah there's a place for us
(Yeah there's a place for us)
Where only we can go
(Where only we can go)
So break down the door, knock out the lights
We're gonna be just fine
'Cause there's a place for us
(Yeah there's a place for us)

'Cause we're marching to the beat out in the open air
And we're all just broken pieces trying to fit somewhere

We wander 'round in circles and we talk in squares
But as long as we're together we can go anywhere

Yeah there's a place for us
(Yeah there's a place for us)
Where only we can go
(Where only we can go)
So break down the door, knock out the lights
We're gonna be just fine
Stand on the wall, and if you fall
We're gonna be just fine
'Cause there's a place for us
(Yeah there's a place for us)

There's a place for us

'Cause we're marching to the beat out in the open air
But as long as we're together we can go anywhere
