Open Mic Night Lyrics - November 8, 2023

“What a Night” - by Flo Rida

Yeah, oh, what a night
Feel like I'm twenty-two, you know I'm 305
Tatted on my body, I got everybody in a jive
Somebody hit the lights, camera, let me improvise
Can I get a (hey) Hallelujah? More mula
More peace for my medulla, the whole crew up, yeah
Louis, Prada, Don Dada
Top floor, come take a ride up with the Rida

I came up from the bottom
You have no idea
You can't swipe through my stories (no more)
Write my name in history

Oh, what a night (yeah, sing it)
Almost had me down, came back to life (hell yeah, I'm finna ride)
Who's gonna stop me now?
Oh, what a night (yeah, sing it)
I can't even lie, what a time to be alive
Drinks in the sky, that's the vibe
(Oh, what a night)

Suicide, doors fly open
I re-emerge from the side like a god
I'm talkin' real gwap
Twenty-three, forty-five with the rock
I'm a lot, I am not what they think
I like it dirty
I be filthy with the ricochet
She threw it at me, I hit it right down the straightaway (okay)
Feel like somebody put a blue pill in my lemonade (damn)
I think that's how I ended up in the bay with this pain in my head

You know I came up from the bottom (oh-oh)
You have no idea (no)
You can't swipe through my stories (no sir)
Write my name in history (let's go)

Oh, what a night (yeah, sing it)
Almost had me down, came back to life (hell yeah, I'm finna ride)
Who's gonna stop me now?
Oh, what a night (yeah) (real cool, yeah)
I can't even lie, what a time to be alive
Drinks in the sky, that's the vibe
(Oh, what a night) (yeah, sing it)
Almost had me down, came back to life (hell yeah, I'm finna ride)
Who's gonna stop me now?
Oh, what a night (yeah) (real cool, yeah)
I can't even lie, what a time to be alive
Drinks in the sky, that's the vibe
Oh, what a night

“Evil” - from “Descendents”

Everybody see my sunny
Everybody see my shine
But, they don't know my story
They don't know what's on my mind

I carry on like a princess
But man I've got 'em fooled
'Cause underneath my business
I am cold, I'm hard, I'm cruel

Never gonna put a spell on me
Never ever gonna bring me back
Never gonna make me be
Somethin' I'm not because I'm evil

Tell the people
I'm evil

Open your eyes
I'm all a disguise

Everybody in my circle
Think I'm gonna be their friend
But I got bad intentions
And I'm gonna have 'em again

So why should I stop my dissin'
Or soften up my heart
Tell me what good is livin'
If you can't be who you are, yeah

Never gonna put a spell on me
Never ever gonna bring me back
Never gonna make me be
Somethin' I'm not because I'm evil

Tell the people
I'm evil

Open your eyes
I'm all a disguise

I'm evil
Tell the people

I'm evil
Open your eyes
I'm all a disguise

I'm gonna find some trouble, trouble
I'm gonna make some trouble (so good)
I'm gonna find some trouble (so good)

I'm gonna find some trouble, trouble
I'm gonna make some trouble (so good)
I'm gonna find some trouble (so good)

Never gonna put a spell on me
Never ever gonna bring me back
Never gonna make me be
Somethin' I'm not

Because I'm evil

Tell the people, hey
I'm evil, yeah

Open your eyes
I'm all a disguise

I'm evil
Tell the people, hey, yeah, hey

So evil
Open your eyes
I'm all a disguise

I'm gonna make some trouble (so good)
I'm gonna find some trouble (find the trouble)

I'm gonna find some trouble, trouble
I'm gonna make some trouble (so good)
I'm gonna find some trouble
Oh, no

“Fool Again” - by Westlife

Baby, I know the story
I've seen the picture
It's written all over your face
Tell me, what's the secret that you've been hiding?
And who's gonna take my place?
I should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm a fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me

Baby, you should've called me
When you were lonely
When you needed me to be there
Sadly, you never gave me
Too many chances to show you
How much I care
Ooh, should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm a fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me

About the pain and the tears
Ooh, If I could
I would, turn back the time
Ooh yeah I should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm a fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me

“Big Bad Bill is Sweet William Now” - by Van Halen

Well, way down yonder in Louisville
Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill
I wants to tell ya
Ah the cat was rough and tough and would strutt his stuff
Had the whole town scared to death
When he walked by they all held their breath
He's a fighting man, sure enough
And then Bill got himself a wife
Now he leads a different life
Big Bad Bill is sweet William now
Married life done changed him somehow,
He's the man the town used to fear,
Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear,
Stronger than Samson I declare
Til the brown skinned woman
Bobbed his hair
Big Bad Bill dont fight any more
(No he don't)
Doing the dishes, mopping up that floor (Yes he is)
Well he used to go out drinking
Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman, everynight
Big Bad Bill is sweet william now
Ah Play it boys
I likes that jazz
Big Bad Bill dont fight any more
(No he don't)
Doing the dishes, mopping up that floor (Yes he is)
Well he used to go out drinking
Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman, everynight
Big Bad Bill is sweet william now (doing the dishes)
Big Bad Bill is sweet william now (mop up dat floor)
Big Bad Bill is sweet william now
Cha... Yeah

“Good for U” - By Olivia Rodrigo

Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily
You found a new girl, and it only took a couple weeks
Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world? (World?)
And good for you, I guess that you've been working on yourself
I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped
Now you can be a better man for your brand-new girl (girl)

Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you

Well, good for you, I guess you're getting everything you want (ah)
You bought a new car and your career's really taking off (ah)
It's like we never even happened
Baby, what the fuck is up with that? (Ha)
And good for you, it's like you never even met me
Remember when you swore to God I was the only person who ever got you?
Well, screw that and screw you
You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do

Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Maybe I'm too emotional
But your apathy is like a wound in salt
Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all
Maybe I'm too emotional
Your apathy is like a wound in salt
Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all

Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
Like a damn sociopath!
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you

Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily

“Find Out Who Your Friends Are” - by Tracy Lawrence

Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Get yourself in a bind, lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

You'll find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think "What's in it for me?"
Or "It's way too far"
They just show on up
With their big old heart
You'll find out who you're friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back, wants to shake your hand
When you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way, then you slide back down
Look up and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off

You'll find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think "What's in it for me?"
Or "It's way too far"
They just show on up
With their big old heart
You'll find out who you're friends are

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there?

You'll find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think "What's in it for me?"
Or "It's way too far"
They just show on up
With their big old heart
You'll find out who you're friends are, yeah, yeah
You'll find out who you're friends are

Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Man, I've been there
Get yourself in a bind, lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare
Man, I've been there
Man, I've been there

“How to Save a Life” - The Fray

Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you

And where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
How to save a life

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
How to save a life

“Lean on Me” - Bill Withers

Hmm... hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow

But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won't let show

You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry

I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me
If you need a friend
(Call me)
Call me (call me)
If you need a friend
(Call me)
If you ever need a friend
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me)

If you need a friend
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me)

“Tears of An Angel” - by Anais

Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie
It can't be true
That I'm losing you
The sun cannot fall from the sky

Can you hear heaven cry
The tears of an angel
The tears of an angel
The tears of an angel
The tears of an angel

Stop every clock
Stars are in shock
The river would run to the sea
I won't let you fly
I won't say goodbye
I won't let you slip away from me

Can you hear heaven cry
The tears of an angel
The tears of an angel
The tears of an angel
The tears of an angel

So hold on
Be strong
Everyday hope will grow
I'm here, don't you fear

Little one don't let go
(Oh)
Don't let go
(Oh)
Don't let go
(Oh)

Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie
