Under The Influence - PAULA ABDUL

I fell in love
When I first spotted you among the crowd
Your eyes met mine
And that's when the room started spinning around
Suddenly
I couldn't breathe
I felt my knees
Getting weak
And baby I could not think straight
I had to move
Closer to you
Talk to you
But you had left me in an altered state
And it was driving me insane
Under the influence
Baby you got me
Under...fascinated, intoxicated (cuz I'm)
Under the influence
Oh baby you got me
Under the influence of you
I moved your way
It's more like gravity was steerin' my heart
What can I say
(I want to be your lover baby)
Be your lover right from the start
I had to go
Very slow
Vertigo
Was rushin' through my body
And my brain
I was mesmerized
Hypnotized
To my surprise
You told me that you felt the same way
And it was driving you insane
[Chorus]
I had to go
Very slow
Vertigo
Was rushin' through my body
And my brain
Mesmerized
Hypnotized
To my surprise
You told me that you felt the same way
And it was driving you insane
[Chorus]

Ho-Down - PAULA ABDUL

Ho-Down - PAULA ABDUL

That's what I want
That's what I need
That's what I want
Ho down
She sprays her lies around her like the clouds release the rain
An endless stream of promises that vaporize again
Remember last Tuesday when you said it was the end
You caught her in your Nissan getting funky with your best friend
She will never change till her flesh is under dirt
But then at least she's hangin' with neighbors she deserves
Forgive me if I seem to sound a little on the loose
But I cannot pour sugar just to sweeten up the truth
I would like to wish for her a long forgotten dream
Happened early morning when I was two or three
Everyone around who didn't quite fit in the mix
Turned and waved goodbye and disappeared without a hitch
Except my friend Billy who lived just across the way
The world belonged to us forever on from that day
Until we ran into that sneaky girl from down the street
Who tried to smile so pretty stealing Billy right from me
[Chorus]
The world spun around her everywhere that she would go
But even my friend Billy knew that she was just a -- oh no
She had such a way to twist and turn a simple truth
Told my friend Billy I had been a little loose
Then Billy took her arm and left me standing all alone
I just had to wait there watching them do-se-do
Till Billy pushed her in the deepest darkest hole around
It was goodbye sneaky girl -- ho down
I would like to wish for her a place to somewhere far
A place in outer space to some exotic little star
A million miles away would probably suit the planet fine
Someplace where it's clear she is gone and you are mine
Or maybe some romantic little island in the sea
As far away as it is possible to be
She can have the flowers and the wind
And I can have my baby back with me once again
[Chorus]
I would like to wish for her another little story
My daddy said to me when I was just a little girly
He told me 'bout a pretty graceful lovely lady bird
Who never could find a nest good enough for her
From every tree she landed in she saw one that was better
So off she went before she ever could regain her breath
Wasn't it a pity when she finally hit the ground
It was goodbye lovely birdy -- ho down
Goodbye lovely birdy ho down --

The Choice Is Yours - PAULA ABDUL

The Choice Is Yours - PAULA ABDUL

Lately I've had my doubts
About the way you feel
Tell me there is no other love
You see but me, ooooh
I've been a good woman to you
Give you sweet love every night
Break up, make up
That's all that we do
So if you better want my love
You've got to go down
The choice is yours
The choice is yours
The choice is yours if you can find something better
The choice is yours
The choice is yours
Just like it seems you know it really don't matter
Don't be a fool and take too long
To make your move
A woman like me deserves a knight
In armor too
I've been a good woman to you
Give you sweet love every night
Break up, make up
That's all that we do
So if you better want my love
You've got to go down
[Chorus]
I never give in to friends
That don't give in to me
Treat me with love
Desire to be with only me
[Chorus]

Sexy Thoughts - PAULA ABDUL

Sexy Thoughts - PAULA ABDUL

Day or night it's the way of life
Whatever keeps me pumpin'
Whatever makes me feel alright
Well I've been tryin' to find myself
I was in a trance but now I feel like dancin'
Put on your platforms, get your move on
Won't flow to nothin' I don't like
My vibe is mental, it's never gentle
You gotta do your own thing move it side to side
Now if you love yourself, throw your hands in the air
And if you think you're sexy
Clap your hands like you just don't care
All you gotta do
Sexy things
Is be a little sexy
Bring sexy thoughts
All you gotta do
Sexy thoughts, SEX
Is be a little sexy
I got an attitude
I got a complex
I'm feeling funky, I bet'cha knew that
When you saw me
You thought you could take me to another place
But I ain't hip to that
I ain't with that
Here come the spotlights
I gotta get mine, so move that body
If you ain't got it
It's all about strength, poise, so make some noise
You don't have to let nobody know
How you're gonna steal the show
Now if you love yourself, throw your hands in the air
And if you think you're sexy
Clap your hands like you just don't care
[Chorus]

If I Were Your Girl - PAULA ABDUL

If I Were Your Girl - PAULA ABDUL

Brokenhearted
Unsatisfied
I can't help it I can't get you off my mind

She was so wrong
To treat you bad
She didn't know you were the best she'd ever had

If I were yours
And you were mine
I'd make sure that I could please you all the time

I'd be here waiting
I'd treat you right
If I were your girl
I'd keep up all night

Appreciate you
There's so much more
I would give you
If I were your girl

So frustrated
What do I do
I get excited when I'm standing next to you
Does she love you
Is she unkind
I don't know why you're there cause something isn't right

All the wonders of the world
Are the things that I would give if I were her

[Chorus]

I never felt this way inside
It's so hard, so very hard to hide
Cause I can see
That you don't receive
The things you deserve
I'd give you so much more
If I were your girl
