Songs by Amanda Kind

VERSE 1
Wasn’t it just last night
That you told me you’d never known anyone like me
Wasn’t it just last night
That you said to me
There’s nothing we can’t get through

PRE CHORUS
How, How did we get here
How did we lose it all, Let it fall
Everything we held so dear

CHORUS/ HOOK
I loved you once
Just enough to think that it would last forever
I loved you once
Now you’re just a distant memory

VERSE 2
Wasn’t it just last night
That I first saw you playing to the crowd
You and me against the world
We had nothing, but we had everything somehow

PRE CHORUS
How, How did we get here
I thought it was you and I, do or die
How could we let it all disappear?

CHORUS/ HOOK
I loved you once
Just enough to think that it would last forever
I loved you once
Now you’re just a distant memory

BRIDGE
Church bells, ring loud
Throw rice over your shoulder
Don’t blink, don’t cry
Here they come it will soon be over


Instrumental

VERSE 3 (short)
Wasn’t it just last night
That you were everything to me

CHORUS/ PLAYOUT
I loved you once
Now you’re just a distant memory

[Lyrics]

[Lyrics]


You got it all
At your fingertips
Money, power, lip service
Anything you want

You play the role
Yeah you know how to work it
The picture of Mr. Perfect
You put on quite a show

So flash me all your dollar bills
But I’m not fooled by your cheap thrills

You’re just a
Hot Shot trying to get my attention
A smooth talker with transparent intentions
You’re so in to you, it makes me laugh
Uh-ah-hah, Uh-ah-hah-hah

You’re so rich but you can’t afford me
You’re so smart but my god you bore me
I could give you everything I’ve got
I think I’d rather not

Take me away
Tour me all around the globe
New York, Paris, Tokyo
First class all the way

And when we’re out
Treat me to the finer things
But you’re not really listening
To what I have to say

I’m just an accessory
But boy you underestimate me

You’re just a
Hot Shot trying to get my attention
A smooth talker with transparent intentions
You’re so in to you, it makes me laugh
Uh-ah-hah, Uh-ah-hah-hah

You’re so rich but you can’t afford me
You’re so smart but my god you bore me
I could give you everything I’ve got
I think I’d rather not

Talk down to me
Explain the big bad world
Cause you’re a big time business man
And I’m just a stupid girl
Impress me with your numbers
But your number’s up
Be quiet
Why don’t you just shut up!

You’re just a
Hot Shot trying to get my attention
A smooth talker with transparent intentions
“You’re so vain you probably think this song is about you
Don’t you, don’t you!”

All decked out in your cheap tuxedo
With you plastic smile and your fragile ego
You’re so insecure it makes me laugh
Uh-ah-hah, Uh-ah-hah-hah

Someday soon when you’re sad and lonely
You’ll be wishin’ that I was your one and only
Don’t cha know that true love can’t be bought
Well you had your shot.

[Lyrics]


You got me and my heart on a string
You never do or say the right thing
I’m at your mercy, without a doubt
You pull me in and you put me on
And now you’re freaking out

I know you want me want me
So why don’t you say it say it
Why do you taunt me taunt me
Why do you keep playing playing
With my heart starts to pound
Whenever you’re around and I can’t breathe
You’re so mean to me

You try to pretend I don’t exist
I try to forget we ever kissed
You tell all your friends
You’re so conflicted
But when you catch my eye
I can see you’re addicted

I know you want me want me
So why don’t you say it say it
Why do you taunt me taunt me
Why do you keep playing playing
With my heart starts to pound
Whenever you’re around and I can’t breathe
You’re so mean to me

I don’t wanna lose my best friend
And I’m starting to think it’s all in my head
Don’t speak, don’t say the word mistake
Cause that’s the one thing
That I just can’t take

I know you want me want me
So why don’t you say it say it
Why do you taunt me taunt me
Why do you keep playing playing
With my heart starts to pound
Whenever you’re around and I can’t breathe
You’re so mean to me

[Lyrics]


Low down good for nothing
First class waste of time
Unmotivated, troublemaker, problem child
Everything that they said
Never went to head
Why you always gotta go and prove them right

You let me down
Like you always do
You let me down
When I believed in you
You let me down
And you think that it’s okay
You let me down
So what
What Do You Want Me to Say

Sweetheart tender lover
Beautiful boy next door
You got all the good stuff
That keeps me coming back for more
Baby when you’re at your best
Makes me forget all the rest
Why you always gotta go and prove me wrong

You let me down
Like you always do
You let me down
When I believed in you
You let me down
And you think that it’s okay
You let me down
So what
What Do You Want Me to Say

When you tell me, take it easy
Everything will fall into place
When you tell me, look on the bright side
While you lie to my face
Wish I could pick and choose the parts of you
Wish all the lovely things you said were true
Wish you could find a way to finally come through

You let me down
Like you always do
You let me down
When I believed in you
You let me down
And you think that it’s okay
You let me down
So what
What Do You Want Me to Say

[Lyrics]
