Hilary Duff - Dignity Album Lyrics



Hilary Duff - Dignity Lyrics






Stranger

Nobody believes me when I tell them that you're out of your mind
Nobody believes me when I tell them that there's so much you hide
You treat me like a queen when we go out
Wanna show everyone what our love's about
All wrapped up in me whenever there is a crowd
But when no ones around

There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
There's a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too

Did I ever do anything that was this cruel to you?
Did I ever make you wonder who was standing in the room?
You made yourself look perfect in every way
So, when this goes down, I'm the one that will be blamed
Your plan is working, so you can just walk away
Baby, your secret's safe

There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
There's a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too

Such a long way back from this place we are at
When I think of all the time I've wasted, I could cry

There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
There's a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too

There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
There's a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too

Dignity

You got the hottest shoes (you got it)
You got those Jimmy Choo's (you got it)
You never get the blues, it's always all about you (we got it, we got it)

wake up late
no time to waste
better check that phone
there's a club to close

[Chorus:]
Where's your, where's your, where's your dignity?
I think you lost it in the Hollywood Hills
Where's your, where's your, where's your dignity?
can't buy respect, but you can pick up that bill
pick it up, pick it up, it's all you got, it's all you got,
pick it up, pick it up 'cause money makes your world go round,
(money makes your world go round)

Always with Mr. Right (right now)
But then you have a fight (and he's out)
Run into your friend's ex
He's happy to be your next (she won't mind, she won't mind)

Tomorrow's papers
comin' out
so kiss him fast,
watch the cameras flash

[Chorus]

You'd show up to the opening of an envelope
Why!
Does everybody care about where you go?

It's not news when you got a new bag
It's not news when somebody slaps you
It's not news when you're lookin' your best
c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, give it a rest

pick it up, pick it up, it's all you got, it's all you got,
pick it up, pick it up 'cause money makes your world go round
Where's your, Where's your, Where's your
Money makes your world go round
Where's your, Where's your, Where's your
Cause money makes your world go round
Where's your, Where's your, Where's your
Money makes your world go round
Where's your, Where's your, Where's your
Cause money makes your world go round

Money makes your world go round!

With Love

I don't mind you telling me
What's been on your mind lately
I don't mind you speaking up

I know sometimes I can be
All wrapped up and into me
I can be in such a rush

Just slow me down
Slow me down
Tell me tomorrow everything will be around
Just slow me down
Slow me down
You're the one that keeps me on the ground

Baby you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love love
Tell me I'm wrong
That I'm coming on way too strong
Don't think I'll be crushed
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love

I can take your honesty
All your words weigh heavily
Listening to you all the time
I want to be there for you
The way you've been there for me
Always help me walk the line

Just slow me down
Slow me down
I know you will always be around

Baby you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love love
Tell me I'm wrong
That I'm coming on way too strong
Don't think I'll be crushed
Just do it with love love love love

All this time we thought we knew eachother
Now that I am leaning on your shoulder
I can tell you baby that
You're right when you're right and
You're wrong when you're wrong and
I can be weak 'cause I know you are strong

Baby you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love love
Tell me I'm wrong
That I'm coming on way too strong
Don't think I'll be crushed
Just do it with love love love love [x2]

Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love

Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love

Danger

Were you born in 74? (Oh no)
Are you the kind of guy that I should ignore?
Will you give me all the things I need?
You probably never wear your heart on your sleeve
You intrigue me like no one before
It may be wrong to get to know you more
But I'm not sure
I'm so unsure

[Chorus]
'Cause I see danger, danger, danger in your eyes
'Cause danger, danger, danger, you disguise
So baby lift your head up to the light
There's danger in those eyes
There's danger in your eyes

You belong to my darker side
You're a guy who sets a girl on fire
I can see myself falling in line
Like the hundred girls you had over time
And I want more
I am so sure
That I want more
I am so sure

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm smarter than this
And know better than this
'Cause there's something really missin' in your kiss
I'm smarter than this
And know better than this
But there's something that you got that is tough to resist
It's tough to resist

[Repeat Chorus]

There's danger in your eyes
Dangereous
You're dangerous
You're dangerous

Gypsy Woman

Was it her face that invaded your mind?
Her kind isn't very hard to find
She lets you think she found you first
That's how she works
Her sick and twisted gypsy curse
She can swallow knives
She can swallow lives
Golden black stare
Brought the night of your demise..

Tried to run away with a gypsy woman
Here today then gone for good
Can't get away with a gypsy woman
Thought no one would know
Your secrets down below
But you can't go
Can't go with her
Can't go
Can't go with her
The gypsy woman

This is a favorite game to play
She's got you stumbling
Stumble, st-st-stumbling
Talks with a grin
Cause she's got no shame
Enjoyed the fame
Bringing down the family name

She can swallow knives
She can swallow lives
Golden black stare
Brought the night of your demise..

Tried to run away with a gypsy woman
Here today then gone for good
Can't get away with a gypsy woman
Thought no one would know
Your secrets down below
But you can't go
Can't go with her
Can't go
Can't go with her
The gypsy woman

She can rob you blind with just one look
From those eyes
Out of all the thieves that trained her
None of them could tame her

Tried to run away with a gypsy woman
Here today then gone for good
Can't get away with a gypsy woman
Thought no one would know
Your secrets down below
But you can't go
Can't go with her
Can't go
Can't go with her

But you can't go
Can't go with her
Can't go
Can't go with her
Can't go
Can't go with her

Tell me was it worth it?
Can you say it's worth it?
Tell me was it worth, can you tell me it was worth it?

But you can't go
Can't go with her
Can go
Can't go with her
The gypsy woman

But you can't go
Can't go with her
Can go
Can't go with her
The gypsy woman

Tell me was it worth it
Can you say it's worth
Tell me was it worth it
Can you tell me it was worth it?

Never Stop

Sometimes you feel your world is breaking down,
Baby don't stop.
And there's trouble everywhere, it's all around,
Baby don't stop.
Cause' I'm here to turn the corner with you,
And when we're together there's nothing that we can't do.

You signed my name on your arm.
You put so much in my heart.
When the darkness rolls in,
I'll be there through thick and thin.
I want you to know,
I want you to know,
I'll never stop loving you..
I hope that you know,
Wherever you go,
I'll never stop loving you..

When you're on the road all lonely and blue,
Baby please stop.
And remember all the things that we've been through,
All the good stuff.
Like all the notes you wrote to me,
And all the things that we believe,
People thought that we couldn't be,
But we never stopped,
No we never stopped!

You signed my name on your arm.
You put so much in my heart.
When the darkness rolls in,
I'll be there through thick and thin.
I want you to know,
I want you to know,
I'll never stop loving you..
I hope that you know,
Wherever you go,
I'll never stop loving you..

We made mistakes along the way,
But here we are,
Here we are!
Never stop, never stop, never stop!
Never stop, never stop, never stop!
Never stop, never stop, never stop!
Never stop, never stop, never stop!

You signed my name on your arm.
You put so much in my heart.
When the darkness rolls in,
I'll be there through thick and thin.
I want you to know,
I want you to know,
I'll never stop loving you..
I hope that you know,
Wherever you go,
I'll never stop loving you..

I want you to know,
I want you to know,
I'll never stop loving you..
I hope that you know,
Wherever you go,
I'll never stop loving you..

No Work All Play

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
Some people go through life like it's a breeze
They float their way through days
And never feel the grey
And their tears fall
But they don't sting
Their temporary marks
Not always from the heart
They live lightly
Breathe so easy
No digging in
To what's within

[Chorus]
No work all play
What a mistake
Let the clouds roll in and fill the sky
Get that melancholy feel inside and
Work on yourself
Don't run from the pain you felt
You don't have to slide
Life's not one big high

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
Sometimes it's hard lookin' at yourself
You'd rather place the blame
Then point it your own way
I still do hide from my feelings myself
But I'm trying hard these days
Not to procrastinate
And face my fate
Stay on my case

[Repeat Chorus]

No one is perfect
No one's the same
We've all got problems
That we haven't faced
The challenges well
They'll make you strong
Don't put them off for too long

You gotta know yourself
To be yourself
You gotta do it all the way
You gotta know yourself
To be yourself
It's a struggle everyday
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
You gotta do it all the way
And it's a struggle everyday

[Repeat Chorus x2]

You gotta know yourself to be yourself
You gotta do it all the way
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
And it's a struggle everyday
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
You gotta do it all the way
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
And it's a struggle everyday
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
And it's a struggle everyday
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
And it's a struggle everyday

Between You And Me

You can call it what you want
But I'm not playing games
We're both apart of the same story
Not on the same page
And I see you standing there
With that dirty little stare
Well it freaks me out inside
So maybe you should just beware

[Chorus]
My love is not up for negotiation
Hello doesn't mean an open invitation
Don't take it personally 'cause
You and me we're wrong
So move on
Move on
Move on

Now I'm not saying you're not nice
Let me give you some advice
There's a girl across the room
Who'd kill to be with you tonight
She's been looking over here
And she's made it pretty clear
So don't lose your chance with her by trying to get so damn near me

[Repeat Chorus]

Oh here he comes
He never gets the hints
Never gets the hints
That I've given him
Oh there he goes
He's never gonna win
Never gonna win
He doesn't even know who he's trying to get with

[Repeat Chorus]
Move on
Move on
Move on

Dreamer

Bum [x16]
I'm at the grocery store and there you are just watchin' me
Bum [x10]
Pick up my clothes from the cleaners and look who I see
Bum [x10]
I try to loose you in my car but you won't go away,
Come on buddy don't you think you've overstayed your stay?
Don't you have better things to do with your life
Then hang around and stare at me and complicate mine?

Your eyes must burn so bad 'cuz you haven't blinked
You and me will never be if that's what you think.

[Chorus]
Oh, you're such a dreamer
But I'm not a believer,
In all the things that you dream.

Stop watchin' me, stop watchin' me
[End of chorus]

Bum [x16]

I go to bed and I wake up isn't that interesting?
Bum [x10]
I brush my teeth, and feed my dogs, isn't that thrilling?
(Don't you think that that's thrilling, don't you think)
It must be fun to follow me pretending we're a thing,
It's just so messed up can't you see that you're just scaring me?

Don't you have better things to do with your life,
Then hang around and stare at me and complicate mine? [x2]

Happy

I understand why you're looking for tears in my eyes
Trust me they were there but now the well has run dry
I was in so deep but couldn't get out
I sat on feelings I buried deep down
I knew there'd come a day when our paths would cross
And glad its today cause now I am strong

[Chorus]
I'm happy and I can thank myself
If it were up to you I'd be in my bed crying
But I'm happy and I know that makes you sad
After all the things you put me through
I'm finally getting over you

I'm happy, I'm happy

There is a reason why we met, I'm glad that we did
But when we broke up, I got back a part of me I really missed
Not saying that you brought me down all the time
There were moments I lived without light on my side

[Chorus]
I'm happy and I can thank myself
If it were up to you I'd be in my bed crying
But I'm happy and I know that makes you mad
After all the things you put me through
I'm finally getting over you

All the bitterness has passed
And I only wish you
Someone who could do what I can't

Burned

What's wrong with me?
I get lonely in a crowd,
Everyone is smiling,
But I made myself left out.

I got an imaginary shield around me,
But nobody's ever really getting through.
I keep thinking that they're gonna break me free,
But they never do! (no)

When somebody's knockin,
When somebody wants me,
When somebody's trying to love me completely.
I get scared,
Don't know how it works.
Will somebody save me?
Or will I get burned?
Don't wanna get burned..

Is there thickness in the air?
Or are you heavy on my heart?
Why can't I just fit in?
Why can't I do what everyone else does?

People come around like a storm,
When you least expect them to.
For me I run for cover,
When I should really face the truth.

When somebody's knockin,
When somebody wants me,
When somebody's trying to love me completely.
I get scared,
Don't know how it works.
Will somebody save me?
Or will I get burned?

I don't wanna [repeat]

What's wrong with me?

Outside Of You

I can't get your attention
And I'm so sick of it
I've got something to say to you
So shut up and listen
I don't want you to look past me
I want you to know who I am
I hate it when you ignore me
You just don't understand
See the funny thing is
You're just as useless as me
I can make you better
If you would just let me in

[Chorus]
I'm outside of you
And I can't get through
Overlooking the beauty that's dying inside me
Cant you see?
I'm outside of you
And I'm so confused
You keep missing the small things
The safety that love brings
Can't you see?

I'm outside of you

For anything to survive
It needs love and light to grow
I could be something beautiful
I guess you'll never know
See the funny thing is
You're just as lonely as me
We could be so much better
If you would just let me in

[Repeat Chorus]

And as you walk by me
I'm silently screaming to set me free
I look in the mirror
And I see your future
You look good with me
And as you walk by me
I'm silently screaming to set me free
I look in the mirror
And I see your future
You look good with me
Oh!

Play With Fire

I can't believe it's really you
Been so long, you look good
I hear you're doing really well
Don't ask me, let me tell you
How I've been since when you left
Since you left me for dead

Finally every tear has dried
I've wiped you from my life

Do you remember all the times you said you'd call me
'Cause I remember all the reasons people warned me

And now I hear you saying that you still adore me
But if you think I'd ever get with you again
Then you can just

Love me, love me
Feed the flame
If you want me back again

Burn into the sky
Higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire

(Burn into the sky)
Love me, love me
(Far into the sky)
If you want me

You never know just what you got
'Til it's gone, you freak out
But I'm not falling for that game
Boys like you never change
You made me feel I wasn't enough
Wasn't enough for your love

But it was insecurity that made you run
It wasn't me

So don't you sit there trying to
Give me more excuses
I don't have time for this
I'm off to play in Houston
And I'm too busy with the millions things I'm doing
You can't make up for what you've done
But you still try to be the one

Love me, love me
Feed the flame
If you want me back again

Burn into the sky
Higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire

(Burn into the sky)
Love me, love me
(Far into the sky)
If you want me

Ooh, by the way, by the way
I've found someone who gives me space
Keeps me safe
Makes me sane
Found someone to take your place
Now I'm safe in his arms
And I decided only he can play with fire

Love me, Love me
Feed the flame
If you want me back again

Burn into the sky
Higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire

I can't believe it's really you
(Love me, love me)
I hear you're doing really well
(If you want me)
Finally every tear has dried
(Love me, love me)
Can boys like you, boys like you
Play with fire

Back to: Hilary Duff


Dignity is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Hilary Duff. It was released on March 21, 2007, by Hollywood Records. After launching her third studio album Hilary Duff (2004), she experienced an eventful personal life, including a stalking incident, her parents getting divorced and her breakup with her boyfriend Joel Madden after two years of dating. Consequently, Duff assumed an integral position in its production, co-writing almost every track with longtime collaborator Kara DioGuardi instead of her previously-limited involvement.

In contrast to the pop-rock themes of her prior releases, Dignity takes on more of a dance and electropop sound, which she said was not her intention while writing the album. The lyrics reference the events Duff experienced in the years leading to the album's release, and the album's songs contain influences of rock and hip-hop music.

Critical response was mostly positive; the album was praised for its songwriting and her new musical direction. Upon release, Dignity debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200. This was a lower peak than Duff's previous albums and the album had lower sales, which Billboard attributed to the loss of fans during her musical evolution. Despite this, it produced Duff's highest-peaking single on the US Billboard Hot 100 to date, "With Love", which peaked at number twenty-four. The song also topped the US Dance Club Songs chart, as did her subsequent single from the album, "Stranger".

The album reached the top ten in several countries and was certified Gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). To promote the album, Duff embarked on her fourth concert tour, the Dignity Tour, between July 2007 and February 2008.
