JOSS STONE LYRICS
album: "Water For Your Soul" (2015)
Love Me
Love me from your heart
Love me from your soul
Take me as the one you chose
Promise you my eyes, put your lips on my kiss
Please love me from your heart
Love me from your soul
Take me as the one you chose
Promise you my eyes, put your lips on my kiss, please
I just can't take one more lover
Putting me under his other
I felt the pain, no more again
I give you all I can cover
Just promise you'll be my protector
Look over my fears and keep them clear
There'll be more problems here
I'm asking you to
Love me from your heart
Love me from your soul
Take me as the one you chose
Promise you my eyes, put your lips on my kiss
Please love me from your heart
Love me from your soul
Take me as the one you chose
Promise you my eyes, put your lips on my kiss, please
Well I guess I'm 'bout to find out
If there's truth in your soul
Your smile, your eyes are not enough alone
Is this a girl's intuition? (Yes)
This impossible love's our position
Bring me some light o face our life
I built a wall strong, I'll tell 'em why
Love me from your heart
Love me from your soul
Take me as the one you chose
Promise you my eyes, put your lips on my kiss
Please love me from your heart
Love me from your soul
Take me as the one you chose
Promise you my eyes, put your lips on my kiss, please
Now don't give me those eyes
It's meaning less, please hide it
Cause I am one to fall so far, so fast
That's why I'm asking you to love me
Love me from your heart
(That's why I'm asking you to love me right now)
Love me from your soul
(That's why I'm needing you to love me baby)
Take me as the one you chose
(Just the way that I am babe)
Promise you my eyes, put your lips on my kiss
Please love me from your heart
(Ooh love me right)
Love me from your soul
(Ooh love me freely)
Take me as the one you chose
(Just the way that you want to take me baby, take me)
Promise you my eyes, put your lips on my kiss, please
That's all I'm asking you to do
Please
Love me like you're supposed to
Please
Please
It's all I've been asking, all my life
Just a little love, just a little love
That's all that I want, that's all that I need
Just a little love

******************************
This Ain't Love
Please don't think that I owe ya
Look at what you put me through
If I had a chance to plan what I would say to you
I'd turn around so beautiful
And look you in the eye just to prove I don't love you or need you
Clouding my mind
In darkness I'll find
Nothing at all, at all, at all
Baby can't you hear this sound
All the arguments are screaming out
This ain't love that we've found at all, at all
Baby won't you realize
You know that I'm not your prize
Why we wasting our time
To me you're nothing at all
Please don't think I'll forget ya
Nothing in the world could move
All the scars you gave me
Memories I just can't lose
If I had a chance to show ya
How it feels you know I would do
My best to test just how
Heartless you really are
To me you're nothing at all
To me you're nothing at all
At all, all
Baby can't you hear this sound
All the arguments are screaming out
This ain't love that we've found at all, at all
Baby won't you realize
You know that I'm not your prize
Why we wasting our time
To me you're nothing at all
To me you're nothing at all
Why don't ya, why don't ya
Leave me
Go get out
Turn around
'Cos I got a mouth that'll knock you down
And when it's over you won't know what hit you
'Cos you'll be looking up at me from the ground
Won't you take the time to lay it all out on the table and figure this out
Reality is staring us right in the face, I'm in a place I can't seem to turn around
Something's gotta give we can start to live without having to shout so loud
Relationship's a trip with a lack of light, it's the time we need to get out
Get out
Get out
We need to get out
Baby can't you hear this sound
All the arguments are screaming out
This ain't love
This ain't love
This ain't love
Baby won't you realize
You know that I'm not your prize
Why we wasting our time
To me you're nothing at all
And this ain't love
This ain't love that we've found
See, I know love don't look like this
And I know love don't taste
Nothing like this, nothing at all
'Cos I've had enough
I've had enough of your lack of love
I've had enough of this bad taste
Had enough of you wasting my time
To me you're nothing at all
Nothing at all

Stuck On You
Deeper I fall, the tighter you hold on
Won't let you know
The less love you show to me
The door that you closed
It just won't open
I don't wanna let go
But it's taking its toll on me
I don't like that you don't like my mind
It ain't changing
I can't care if you're here or there
It's alright
I'm just saving my heart
Cause leaving it with you ain't smart
See, the deeper I fall, the faster you run away
Every time we talk (Every time we talk)
(I'm falling into you, I...)
I get stuck on loving you
(Feel I'm stuck on you, stuck on you, babe)
Every time I fall (Every time I fall, I...)
(Fall right into you, I...)
I land in loving you (I'm landing in love you, babe)
(In love you, babe)
What will I do with you?
What will I do with you?
Been pushed to a core
I wish I can walk away
But there's something about you
Baby it's everything
Draw me in and makes me wanna need you
Need to want you, makes me wanna stay
But the deeper I fall, the faster you run away
Every time we talk (Every time we talk)
(I'm falling into you, I...)
I get stuck on loving you
(Feel I'm stuck on you, stuck on you, babe)
Every time I fall (Every time I fall, I...)
(Fall right into you, I...)
I land in loving you (I'm landing in love you, babe)
(In love you, babe)
(What will I do with you?)
I fall in love
(What will I do with you?)
I just can't get enough
Every time you get me close enough, I fall for you
It's everything you do
I just can't get enough
You got me truly, got me truly...
Every time you get me close enough, I fall for you
It's everything you do
I just can't get enough
You got me truly, got me truly...
Every time you get me close enough, I fall for you
It's everything you do
I just can't get enough
You got me truly, got me truly...

Star
Give me strength
Don't give me grief
I don't wanna break or mend
Your beliefs
I wanna hear ya
And keep my mind free
I'm not gonna judge ya
I hope you don't judge me
Tell me do you feel an angel somehow
Has given you the right
To advise the world and his wife
How to live their lives
Whoever you may be
Whatever walk of life
It's you who hold your light
It's up to you whether to hide it
Or let it shine
We are who we are
Love us or move on
Don't you know that there's a star guiding everyone
We are who we are
Love us or move on
Don't you know that there's a star guiding everyone
Speak a solution
You can keep your problems
I hear your opinion
And yes we've got 'em
Somebody's trash is somebody's treasure
Somebody's laugh is
Somebody's pain
Somebody's loss is somebody's gain
It don't matter what car yo drive
Or whatever sound you like
It don't matter if you're praying to God
Or trusting mother nature's strife
What's true to you and I maybe
Won't be right for another kind of life
Can't we agree to disagree and we can be happy
We are who we are
Love us or move on
Don't you know that there's a star guiding everyone
We are who we are
Love us or move on
Don't you know that there's a star guiding everyone
We are who we are
We should be able to say what we think and make love at the end of the day
We should be able to step out out of sin and fall back in our own kind of way
It's ok if you don't wanna see, it's ok if you disagree
Just reach inside of yourself and realize that we're one of a kind
And all that you are is just fine know that you're you and I'm me
Free to fly
Free to fall
Free to learn, love and lie
It's up to you to live
If you don't know what to do with yourself, just breathe
We are who we are
Love us or move on
Don't you know that there's a star guiding everyone
We are who we are
Love us or move on
Don't you know that there's a star guiding everyone
We are who we are
Love us or move on
Don't you know that there's a star guiding everyone
We are who we are
Love us or move on
Don't you know that there's a star guiding everyone
Live, live, live
Let live

Let Me Breathe
What am I talking about?
Got too much to say, got too much to shout
Should I write it in capital letters?
You can figure it out
Why make a noise when you're deaf to my words?
You think it's a ploy and I'm testin' your nerve
How can I show you the truth
When you're turned away when I'm bruised?
Someone cut the line of communication
Someone cut the line
Someone cut the line where the explanation
I can't get in, I can't get out
I can't get over how you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out
If I'm to blame then help me understand
You can't complain when you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out
This is serious to say, a serious saying
I notice that whenever the melody rings
You take a sentiment and pop it in the bank
And start jammin'
You're subliminal to know, and all the things you don't
Your intelligence is oblivious to so much, so much
You go so tight that
I can't get in, I can't get out
I can't get over how you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out
If I'm to blame then help me understand
You can't complain when you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out
How do you propose that we go forward
Backward, left or right
Or know how to continue on this path at all?
Why can't you see I'm in love with you?
Can you step out of your cubbyhole
Know me tight, speak your mind
As we roll on through life it'll be alright
If you're by my side
Let go and try, let me in
So I can sit by your side for the rest of our lives
Cut that rope and line and tie
Tie it up tight
Someone cut the line, someone cut the line
Someone went and cut our line
We gotta mend it
I can't get in, I can't get out
I can't get over how you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out
If I'm to blame then help me understand
You can't complain when you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out
What am I supposed to do with that?
Where are we gonna go with that?
Nowhere
Nowhere good
What am I supposed to do with that?
Where are we gonna go, baby, if you won't talk to me, love?
Where we gonna go now?
Don't shut me out
Don't shut me out

Cut The Line
Til we meet again, hold on
Til we speak again, keep strong
The world don't need to know what's going on
Keep up your head until we meet again
The kiss you left on my bedside light
The words you whisper make me feel right
The clothes you scattered on the porch that night
Is all so
You're my special lover man
Always undercover man
See now this I can't stand
We got a problem, babe
You're my precious lover man
And I know I'll never land
Another like you
I can't stand, my secret lover man
Way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh
I gotta go to where I won't show
They'll never know, that's the beauty of love
Way oh
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Cause I know that he's never gonna do me like that
He's my man, my heart, my buffalo soldier
From where I'm standin' there is no turnin' back
At second since I heard his rhythm it was over
I don't want no double time opinion
Most efficient enough, I'm with him
Just stop
Cause you know
You're my special lover man
Always undercover man
See now this I can't stand
We got a problem, babe
You're my precious lover man
And I know I'll never land
Another like you
I can't stand, my secret lover man
Way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh
I gotta go to where I won't show
They'll never know, that's the beauty of love
Way oh
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh, way oh
I hear the chirpin' of the choir in the back
Made up their minds they don't wanna get to know you
They get to chattin' up all kind of trash
Not much is happenin' in their lives, they just get older
They only dig me better with a problem
That don't feel good to myself so I give them not
Cause I know that he's never gonna do me like that
He's my man, my heart, my buffalo soldier
From where I'm standin' there is no turnin' back
At second since I heard his rhythm it was over
I don't want no double time opinion
Most efficient enough, I'm with him
Just stop
Just stop
Way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh
I gotta go to where I won't show
They'll never know, that's the beauty of love
Way oh
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Way oh, way oh, way oh

Way Oh
I met this boy in Molly town
He said a boom, a boom, boom, boom
He said he’d like to buy my round
I said OK, but you can’t buy me baby
You look just like my favourite sound
So I stay alalala
Asking if I was allowed to come and play
The rest is history
What is a girl like me to do-u-u
Not for a second I can leave you-u-u
Been here a month and I know your smile-u-u
My heart is thinking I’ll stay a while-u-u-u-u
The weeks went on and the months fell out
Of my way, what can I sing about it
You swore you’d always be around
If I stay, so I’m staying
I hold my plans to the god of fate
And all he say was boom, boom, boom
You’re the point to the love I found
In a way, don’t think I’m crazy
What is a girl like me to do-u-u
Not for a second I can leave you-u-u
Been here a month and I know your smile-u-u
My heart is thinking I’ll stay a while-u-u-u-u
Got my camera, got my sax
Let me go I’m leaving it
Run from life as I know it
Cause you got me, got me, got me transfixed
Thought I’d travel far away
But you call me half the way
Down in [?] I would stay
Cause you got me, got me, got me good babe
What is a girl like me to do-u-u
Not for a second I can leave you-u-u
Been here a month and I know your smile-u-u
My heart is thinking I’ll stay a while-u-u-u-u
I’ll never let you go
Boy, you’re my comfort child
I’ll never let you go
No, no
I see our love’s been on lock and there’s no talk if I stop it
You just don’t want to see me go
Every look I’ve been clocking, on your door I’ve been knocking
Get your life and baby let’s go, go
I met this boy in Molly town
He said a boom, a boom, boom, boom
He said he’d like to buy my round
I said OK, a boom, boom, boom

Molly Town
Respect to the rose
And how the holly berry grows
The truth should be exposed 'bout Sensimilla
The shade of green I can't believe
The scent of pollen on the tree brings me clarity
It's a thing of beauty
Sensimilla
Sending me love
Sensimilla
Sending me up
Yougive me some paper for my words
Some herb for my tea
Some clothes to cover me at night
You're medicinal so much, so much, so much more
Than we're allowed to test or try
They'll charge taxes for tobacco
Alcohol as well
They won't put you on the shelves
Where's the sense in that and why
For the healing of the nation
There's just no good explanation for
This pitiful objection
What kind of a reflection down that have
On the intelligence of man I fail to understand
Sensimilla
Sending me love
Sensimilla
Sending me up
Now are you sitting comfortably
If you'd like to grow your own
Sinsemilla this is what to do
Plant a little seed and grow it
When it get ripe you reap it
Pop it on line and dry it
Chuck it in a fruit bowl and share it
Bake it in a cake and eat it
There's no other plant can beat it
Respect to collie don't joke with
Make a cuppa tea and drink it
Sensimilla
Sending me love
Sensimilla
Sending me up
Yes I'm a ganja planta
Looking for my ganja farm
Deep down in the earth let me put me ganja
Babylon commin' to get cha

Thunder from a bass drum song and
Lightening from a trumpet and an organ
Bass sign written man, trumpet double up team
With drums or a beat bound searching, beat bound searching
Bad boy, bad boy, what you gonna do, what you gonna do, when they come for you
Bad boy, bad boy, what you gonna do, what you gonna do, when they come for you
Excuse me, while I light my spliff

How you know what you spent?
How you gonna catch the answer to all these questions?
Let go

The truth now
So much time will pass, the world will laugh
As we try to understand our fail on man
So many lines are crossed and lives are lost
While we walk around with our heads down
A thousand hearts will ache, a million souls will shake
It once made, and yeah one child
If we could just connect the heart with the head
We'd be just fine, no judgment call of any kind
Find your strength
Fight for peace
There's no war (no war)
In our streets
(In the eyes of our street)
Let love win
Just give in
The next is bright
(The next, the next, the next is brighter)
So you can see...
Find you strength
(Won't you find your strength?)
Fight for peace
There's a light

Let love win
Just give in

The next is bright
(The next is brighter)
Can you see, can you see
Can you see the truth now?
Can you see it now?
Shining in front of your face
Can you see, can you see
Can you see the truth
Find your strength
Fight for peace
There's a light
In your release
Won't you let love win
Just give in
