Lyrics

Michael (Gimme My Gum)
© Laura, 1992

chorus:
Michael, gimme my gum
I had chewed it up and I stuck it on my nose
(on my nose)
Michael, gimme my gum
I had chewed it up and I stuck it on my nose

If you take my gum away
My cookie will fall down ’cause it’s so sticky
And that beautiful pink color

(chorus)

Everything You Do
© JET, 1996

I saw him with her
They shared a smile
It broke my heart to see them
Talk a while

chorus:
Every little thing you do and every little thing you’ve ever said
I keep it with me
It’s all in my head

I think about you
Every night in my dreams
I truly love you
At least so it seems

(chorus)

I tried living my life in denial
I can only live without my heart for a while

(chorus)

An innocent glance doesn’t seem like that to me
It’s always something special
And it hits me somewhere deeply

And though you never met me
I know you never may
But you’ll always be here with me
Inside me every day

(chorus)

You asked me if I’d sit with you
And I never wondered why
Until I caught the feeling
I saw behind your eyes

(chorus)

When I passed you in the hallway
I never thought it strange
That you would wait those extra seconds
In our meaningless exchange

(chorus)

Later that day, we talked after school
He was with my friend to find out about me
(Did she play the fool?)

And now you’ve finally met me
I knew you would someday
But I wonder how my friend’s involved
What part did she have to play?

So there we stood on that cool autumn day
I saw my friend looking at us
But she seemed ok

And now you’ve finally met me
I knew you would someday
So what was that you asked me?
Well, I know what I’m gonna say

I was on my way to tell him
But a crouched form blocked my way
My friend in tears and on the ground
And all she had to say

Was how he used her, how he lied
When she thought their love was true
I ran off; I couldn’t see her there
All those years, did you lie to me, too?

Every little thing you do and every little thing you’ve ever said
Is no longer with me
It’s all gone from my head

Sure, you finally met me
I used to hope you would someday
But I just couldn’t believe
You would treat her in that way

I think you know my answer
You’ll get over it, I’m sure
But my friends are more important
So go choose some other girl
(repeat)
