Forbidden Fruit No need to go far, it’s been around They’ve know each other, from the same ol’ town But you can’t tease her You can’t tease, a neighbor From another man’s door For too long now they’ve been in heat Time to cut it loose or wet they feet But you can’t, steal a You can’t, steal a neighbor From another man’s door That’s Forbidden Fruit But keeping it hid, it ain’t the way One person talks and everybody pays When you try to steal a, You try to steal a neighbor From another man’s door But ain’t nothing in this world that’s ever free He’ll hunt you down if you, bend the knee He screams, don’t you steal my, Don’t you dare steal my Baby right from under my door That’s Forbidden Fruit Instrumental But if the juice is worth the squeeze, Go ahead my brother be a dripping thief You go and steal his, Go and steal his, baby Right from under his door That’s For….

Cellophane 03:58
Cellophane Peeled back the layers and shower you my heart, Rearrange my puzzle and made you a part I loved you, and you loved me too Told me things you’d buried deep Made promises you swore you’d keep I believed you, but I never should have trusted you And now my heart’s wrapped up in cellophane And I take these drugs cause I don’t want to feel the pain Stops the bleeding but still you can see, the wound through the plastic the blade dug in deep So now my heart’s wrapped up in cellophane Got all messed up but it wasn’t too deep, I begged you to stay, but you wanted to leave All our hopes and dreams, you threw them all away Now I sing these songs but it isn’t the same I run from my fears into fire and flame Still holding, on a chance you’ll change Now I found my voice rising out of the ash No more fears tie me down to the past I’m letting go, I’m letting go Fulfilled my dreams with songs of my own Now moving on, I’ve got the strength to grow Tho the wounds don’t show, I need you to know And now my heart’s wrapped up in cellophane And I take these drugs cause I don’t want to feel the pain Stops the bleeding but still you can see, the wound through the plastic the blade dug in deep So now my heart’s wrapped up in cellophane

Stella 04:14
Stella She, she walks down a lonely road With prospects she must explore And settles on a man, Of taste, out of place, unsure And her, her beauty sends a fiery flame Straight to the heart of me, I just cannot contain That part of me that wants to touch her, Feel her, and call her name Stella, In my mind I’ve had you over and over again Stella, I just wanna know the sweet surrender, of your skin Let me in She, she knows she’s got a job to do To only one man she must stay true But she gets so caught up in our secret game, Still she knows It’s the other side that calls to her Her path in life leads down a wrong way, red light turn But I never wanted to be the man who watched her burn Stella, In my mind I’ve had you over and over again Stella, I just wanna know the sweet surrender of this sin, and feel your skin Touching and tasting, my love is breaking down now Won’t you stay, till late, Give me till dawn you don’t wanna go home I’ll never forget her, her love was sublime So happy I had her, but our time wasn’t mine A new life I could give her, But she wanted to stay Come back to me Stella Don’t stay away No don’t you, stay away I must stay away Stella Stella Stella Stella

Wrong Way One day, as I lay Just thinking about Why my songs say Feeling burned out Chorus verse, rhythm and rhyme describe to me Time and time, Again what you had done to me Turn me burn me inside out Showed me what your all about You know, you know you treated me the wrong way Taking me around the hard way, the long way You can leave I choose myself the strong way, Find my own way out See I can't put my finger on the point of no return It wasn’t over night more like a slow burn Now im scared by your disregard So you can take our kingdom of dirt Im breaking new ground away from the hurt Ya you can stay 6 feet down, underground, all alone Cause baby you thought that you could call my bluff Didn’t think I’d be this tough You know, you treated me the wrong way Taking me around the hard way, the long way You can leave i choose myself the strong way, Find my own way out I’m out, I’m out, I’m out, I’m out, and I’m not coming back I’m out, I’m out, And I know, I know I’m better on my own Ohh, ohh, didn’t think I’d be this tough You know, you treated me the wrong way Taking me around the hard way, the long way You can leave i choose myself the strong way, Find my own way out
