*** Caribou - Jamelia
Jamelia by Caribouband
If I can't be the man
Tell me what I am
Tell me what I'm here for

If I can't be the one
Tell her what I've done
What good can I be for?

Did I not do enough
To save the two of us?
What more could I give her?

What more could I do
To see her point of view?
Why can't I believe her?

You got to make the change
I can't take you no more
These things you know
Do go, oh, ohh

Oh, Jamelia
You got to go away
You can't come
Oh, ohh

You got to make the change
I can't take you no more
These things you know
Do go, oh, ohh

Oh, Jamelia
You got to go away
You can't come
Oh, ohh

Oh, oh, oh...

*** Hannibal - Caribou

She's had four since he last saw her
But she keeps it to herself
He wonders how he's gonna tell her
He wishes he was seeing someone else

He won't tell, but he still needs her
That it helps him go around
When he gets home, the house feels empty
From the bed, from the bedroom to the ground

Sometimes when she goes out
Sometimes she goes, when she goes
She knows, sometimes she goes out
She said she grows old when she goes

*** Found Out - Caribou

While she waits, she holds her breath
And thinks about the things we said
And takes the modern song she knows
But now and then a hollow ghost

And everything she says she can fall for
She goes on so no one will know
Everything that she says she can fall for
She knows she'll be there on her own

And everything that she says she can fall for
She goes on so no one will know
Everything she says she can fall for
She knows she'll be there on her own

And everything that she says she can fall for
She goes and she'll fall on her own [x2]
While she waits, she holds her breath
And thinks about the things we said

*** Odessa - Caribou

Taking it slow, saving up she
Before she knows it, all I ask before she goes home
She's tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life

Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Do you know how overtime you drove her away
Saving up to, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up for everything that she chose

She can say [x6]
Who knows what she's gonna say

Saving up for, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up for everything that she chose
Taking the kids, driving away
Turn around the life she let him siphon away

And I've been with you, for all of these years
Tell you what I've got to show for all of my tears
The times you hurt me, and treated me wrong
Something had to give to stop this thing from going on

She can say [x6]
Who knows what she's gonna say

She's tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Do you know how overtime you drove her away

*** Leave House - Caribou

I can see she's in for this
She can't see her
It can make her happy
And I can see

She's says she's gone forward
And she's crying
And see she's calling

Leave house [x3]
(And it's the first thing that I would do)
(And I'll make sure he'll follow you)
Leave house

They say that I'm lonely
That I hide away
That I hide away from all of you
And I can't see

She's says she doesn't follow
She need an answer
And see she's falling

Leave house [x3]
(And it's the first thing that I would do)
(And I'll make sure he'll follow you)
Leave house

Leave house [x3]
(And I don't tell me what I should do)
(But I'll make sure he'll follow you)
Leave house

And she can call my number
The way she feels like home
And I'll come and catch her
When she feels she's gone

And we're both alone now
And yet we are not forever
The thing that makes us lonely
Will bring us back together

Leave house [x3]
(And that's the last thing that I would do)
(And I'll make sure he'll follow you)
Leave house

I can see she's in for this
She can't see her
It can make her happy
