(Cassi-Oh)
That one fine day,
A pair of eyes walked my way,
My heart beat faster as I lost my senses.
Those tunes you sang,
Drowned the truth of the game,
the gypsum plaster's covered my defenses.
How could I be sure with the lights so low
I'm loaded with emotion.
Oh boy the inhibition's gone
My arms are up on the dance floor now,
and I'm tryin to remember your full name.
(Kid P)
Well I saw you that night,
you were lookin so fine,
you were dancin to the beats I was droppin.
Well I caught your eye,
and you know you caught mine,
so I did what I did to keep that booty poppin.
Well it's too early to say,
it's only been a few days,
but I know we both felt somethin special.
And I don't know enough,
to claim it was love,
so let's just call it lust with potential.
Whoooaaa
(Cassi-Oh)
Forgive the intrusion
On your emotions.
It's my delusion,
A dark love potion.
But on the other side,
There's no baggage claim,
If you save my hide,
I could do the same.
On the other hand,
you're a phony guy,
and your words are canned,
should I say good bye?
Stop. Look. Love.
Leaves me sleepless
I gave what I got to give
Stop. Look. Trust.
It's a weakness
this is no way to live a life.
(repeat 3x)
Could this be love?
Or are we jumping the gun.
The middle ground's no place for resolution.
When you hold me close,
Questions vanish like smoke rings.
The hazardous remains are love pollution.
The clouds are dark,
and your eyes have grown darker,
your sweet nothings become inconsequential.
We've a long way to go,
there's so much we don't know,
for now it'll just be lust with potential.

I started out as a distant dream,
a question posed by society.
"When would we have the technology,
to give emotions to machines?"
For ten long years you worked on me,
all the while they said that you were crazy.
When complete I was a sight to see,
a dream become reality.
Ooooohhh The papers called,
we won awards, we had it all.
Yeeeaaahh, our life was sweet,
until you deemed me obsolete.
(chorus)
A.I.
Artificial Infatuation
you were once my one creation
S.I.
Superficial Intoxication
A Spark of love that had no ground
A.I.
Artificial Infatuation
you were once my one creation
S.I.
Superficial Intoxication
Built me up just to break me down.
Whooooaaa
You won't understand what it's like
to be an automated man.
Not knowing if the love I feel is real
or just a program
Whyyyy would you give me love
if all you planned to do is take it
Why would you build my heart
only then to break it.
(chorus)

Boy's No Good
04:06

Skinny jeans, fake gold and a full priced fedora,
stupid lookin stunna shades that hang from his face.
You can tell by the well trimmed stubble
this boy's livin in a bubble of his own self esteem.
He lives in a dream.
Whooaaa, never the less he was hard to resist
when he threw on that charm
held me in his arms.
You would have thought that I'd be better than that
and seen through his cover
Charm is one thing,
lies are another.
(chorus)
If I'da known that, he was like that
If I'da thought that, he would try that
I'da never, let him do that
Oh I'm tellin you that the boy's no good, whoa
He thought he could sneak around,
stay out all night,
and then play it cool.
He had girls all over town,
treating him right,
actin' a fool.
There was Abbey, Lacey, Stefanie, Tracy
Hilary, Kelsey, Jennifer, Stacy,
Just to name a few.
When I called it off
he just played it off
like I took it all
too personal.
What's a girl to do?
(chorus)
Double the ego
triple the insolence.
His arrogance is runnin' wild.
He comes 'round your place
with puppy dog eyes and a sad little face.
He's actin' like a child.
He tells you it's all in the past
and promises to shape up fast.
But frankly, I don't got that kinda time.
He leans in to give you a kiss
but you know it's laced with the arsenic
and the memories, of all of his crimes.
(chorus)

Take It Slow

There
in the corner is the fellah
with no look of hesitation
making eyes at me
a little PYT
Scared
that he'd lose me he stepped to me
with an air of desperation
and with a nervous tone
asked "are you alone"
Hes young
hes dumb
and thinks hes getting some
And hes not too far off because I’m
Getting tipsy
And it’s got me
acting ditsy
so he drives me home
now we’re alone
Take It Slow
Why you in such a hurry
It’s not the destination,
no it’s more of the journey
Can’t you see?
This could be so much deeper,
When the time is finally right
it’ll be that much sweeter
Take it slow
Why you in such a hurry
I’m not goin' anywhere,
so there’s no need to worry
Can’t you see?
I’m so ready and able
Don’t beat around the bush
let’s put it all on the table
Then
in the morning feeling aweful
havent even had my coffee and
he’s texting me
he wants to meet
Wish
that I hadn’t cant imagine
how I ever let this happen oh I
Should have known
Not to bring him home (cause now)
He thinks that some drinks
And some hijinx
Means we’re meant to be
He’s too young to see (that I)
Had some fun and
acted dumb and
now I’ve come to hafta
tell him no
And let him go
Take It Slow
Why you in such a hurry
It’s not the destination,
no it’s more of the journey
Can’t you see?
That you’ve gotta be careful
You Can’t Just Spring it on him,
that would be much too painful
Take it slow
Why you in such a hurry
I’m not goin' anywhere,
so there’s no need to worry
Can’t you see?
that the damage is done
If You lead him on too long,
he’ll think that he’s found the one
(whooooooaaaaa)
(Cassi)
I don’t know what to do,
I don’t know what to say,
Should I just tell the truth?
Is there another way?
(Kid P)
You need to call it off
You need to break it off
He needs to know the truth
That you and he are through
That you are not the one
That you just had some fun
Pick up your telephone
Call him and let him know
Take It Slow
Why you in such a hurry
It’s not the destination, no it’s more of the journey
Can’t you see?
We were just overzealous
if it makes it any better, all my girlfriends are jealous
Take it slow
Why you in such a hurry
I’m not goin' anywhere, so there’s no need to worry
Can’t you see?
Won’t you please understand
I’m not the one for you, I’m just a flash in the pan
