Nelly Furtado – I’m Like a Bird
You’re beautiful, that’s for sure
You’ll never ever fade
A new photo and hip-hop lyric, everyday. All photos taken by Karlyle. Enjoy!
You’re beautiful, that’s for sure
You’ll never ever fade
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know where I cannot go
Where I long to be
My steering don’t change
So give me all your time
20/20, 20/20 vision
Cupid hit me, Cupid hit me with precision, I
Wonder if you look both ways when you cross my mind
It’s been two weeks since you watched my Instagram story
I don’t know if love is a plan for you but it’s a plan for me
I didn’t think that it was possible to feel your scent, and now it’s a must, huh
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I’m thinking that I love you
But I know it’s only lust
You’re outside looking in, so tell me what you see
I told you I don’t want the truth, so just
Only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there
I will be there
Travelling the road, last known is where I want to be
My compass directing, electing, an open road with golden trees
But there’s an old man in need on the ground, I try not to make a sound
He holds out his hand as I walk away, I hear him say
Please don’t be a stranger in my place
Traveling come to a tavern for a momentary rest
I see the old man that I passed on the road in his distress
As I turned to go I can hear him say, “Son, stay. Have a drink, I’ll pay.”
You know I run and I run and I run and I run, fly, we can fly in the sky in the night
Want it all, I won’t leave a breadcrumb
I’m gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I’m, I’m, I’m huntin’, lookin’ for a come up
This is f…… awesome
You’re my lady
You’re my lady
You’re my lady (My, oh, baby)
You’re my lady (Yeah)
She don’t wanna tell lies (She don’t wanna tell lies)
She don’t wanna tell lies (She don’t wanna tell lies)
She just wanna feel alive (She just wanna feel alive)
She just wanted more time (She just wanted more time)
I’m looking for a long ride (Looking for a long ride)
She just want a test drive (She just want a test drive)
Dying on the west side (Dying on the west side)
I’ll see you in the next life (See you in the next life)
You the first girl I met when I moved to this dumb-ass city
You was pretty, but you wasn’t too pretty
Really wanna kill me like John Tucker Must Die
Know I act shitty, but I wasn’t too shitty, was I? Yeah
I’m tryna stay up off my iPhone
And I’ma love you, girl, the way you need
Ain’t no one gon’ stop us, ain’t no one gon’ stop us
And I’ma give you, girl, what you fiend
I’m the drug in your veins, just fight through the pain
So don’t go wishing
Don’t hate yourself
You’re right here
I’m with you
How could I forget to mention
The bicycle is a good invention
Been holding up what wasn’t mеant to stand
I turned this love into a wasteland
People say we’re alike
They say we’ve got the same hair
It’s you and me on the coin
The industry loves to spend
And when we put this to bed
The internet will go crazy
I’m glad I know how you feel
‘Cause I ride for you, Charli (Charli, Charli)
Confidence is comical
And I’m, and I’m happy
That’s what I like
I’m happiest when I’m doing something that I know is good
That’s happiness for me
No time to joke around, the kid is now a man
And the silence is filled with remarkable sounds
This part, I’ve seen in my dreams
Love is not a lie, it just feels like a Tarantino movie scene
I work so late I need the sunshine on me
You called my name
I won’t come right back, darling
I ran, escaped and felt the deep sea save me
Don’t search, don’t chase
Just let the sunshine on you
We can pretend sometimes
Living between all of your lines
And you can say I’m blind
But I see you
All we are is all we are is all we are, we are
All we are is all we are is all we are, we are
I know I know I know I know
I know you
I know I know I know I know
I know you
I know I know I know I know
I know you
I know I know I know I know
I know you
I know I’ve been away
I’m just tryna get my paper straight, girl
Don’t give my shit away
I’m just tryna get my paper straight, girl
I know I’ve been away (Mmm)
I’m just tryna get my paper straight, girl (Yeah)
Don’t give my shit away
I’m just tryna get my paper straight, girl
Me me me
That’s all we know
Me me me
That’s all we know
You might think you do
But I bet you don’t
You might think you do
But I bet you don’t
I never packed a tool or acted cool, it wasn’t practical
I’d rather let a tactical, tactful track tickle your fancy
I don’t wanna be
Anything other than what I’ve been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me, and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ’round rooms
Wondering what I’ve gotta do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t wanna be anything other than me
I had to let a little off, yeah
I had to cut the pill off, yeah
But if we bein’ real though, yeah
Nah, I don’t never feel nothin’ (Yeah, yeah)
Maybe she has in the form of a baby’s laugh
I heard passing by in a stroller remindin’ me, “Hey, keep rolling”
I don’t know, maybe she has with a prick of a blade of grass
I’ve been layin’ on way too long, got me itchy
Got up and roamed a lil’ more
Some got hopes and dreams, we got ways and means
The supreme dream team always up with the schemes
So why? Could you explain?
‘Cause I can’t liе, I’m fed up
Why you always standin’ me up?
And hey, hey
I still wear the t-shirt that you gave me
