(Mon bebe...)
My baby
So hungry
Nnnneeds me
All night
mmmmouth is
sticky
I whet that appetite
It's just love (c'est que l'amour)
Only love (seulement l'amour)
Shining out (qui deborde)
Raining down down down (qui m'inonde)
(C'est que l'amour... et oui... c'est que l'amour)
My baby
So shameless
Wwwwants me
All ways
In public
Pppplaces
Cries when I hesitate
It's just love
Only love
Shining out
Raining down down down
It's just love
(Mon bebe, toi t'aimes passé par la ou la. si moi... je m'en fou...
eh bien pourquoi pas vous? Pourquoi pas vous?)
my baby likes switching
From this to there
If I don't mind it
Why do you care?
It's just love
Only love
Pouring out
Raining down down down
It's just love love love love love (l'amour)
It's just love (c'est que l'amour)
A look (tu regardes)
A lick (tu leches)
A scratch (tu ma griffe)
A kiss (t'embrasses)
My baby (mon bebe)
My bliss

3. A Fix of You
Written by Elizabeth Ziff, Alyson Palmer, Amy Ziff

Not a day goes by that I think I'm sane. Not a day goes by that I feel the same, about being through. Not a day without you.
Not a tear falls down from my desperate brain, not a tear descends and I find I can refrain from the emptiness of seeing but not being with you
And in my darkest sadness, I ache for just a fix of you.
And in my deepest madness, I don't, I don't know what to do.
And in my darkest sadness, I ache for just a fix of you.
And in my deepest madness, I don't, I don't know what to do.
When I close my eyes, I can taste your lips. I can mark your back with my fingertips. Not a day goes by. Not a day goes by.
I feel everything, I'm completely numb. I unzip my skin, then step out and run back back to me and you. Back to having fun.
And in my darkest sadness, I ache for just a fix of you.
And in my deepest madness, I don't, I don't know what to do.
And in my darkest sadness, I ache for just a fix of you.
And in my deepest madness, I don't, I don't know what to do.
I have to scream to myself. I ache for just a fix of you.
I have to cut to myself. I don't, I don't know what to do.
I need to conquer myself. I ache for just a fix of you.
I have to scream to myself. I don't, I don't know what to do.
Everything, everything oh, everything everything oh, everything's gonna be alright.
Everything's gonna be alright.

you're too far ahead
slow down

it's better late than ever, baby
just make it last

i like licking your fondue when we take time to melt the blue
i like dancing slowly too cheek to cheek just me and you
tell you what's good my friend
slow and steady in the end

c'mon back it up a beat
the fast lane's a shame
slow down
relax
it's sweeter on the inside, baby
just let them pass
let them
pass
if you nibble it just a little bit you'll be sure to fit every bit of it
if you sip it when it's icy slide it cool and nicely
tell you what's good my friend
slow and steady
in the end....
back it up baby
let me see you back it up
back it up baby
c'mon back it up a beat

c'mon back it up a beat
5. Jesus

Something in the way you move
Makes me think of all the things I missed
And something in the way you look at me
Makes me wanna lay down, open my mouth, and get kissed
Yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah
And you look like I think Jesus would've looked
Oh you look like Jesus
Now I know why Mary and the boys got, Mary and the boys got hooked
Jesus
Something in the way that you walk
Makes me wanna change the way I think
And something in the way you talk to me
Makes me order up another drink
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
And you look like I think Jesus would've looked
Oh you look like Jesus
Now I know why Mary and the boys got, Mary and the boys got, Mary and the boys got hooked
Touch me touch me touch me touch me touch me touch me touch me
like no other
Hold me hold me hold me hold me hold me hold me hold me
like no other
Love me love me love me love me love me love me love me
like no other
Like no other
Something in the way you just are
Makes me wonder who the hell I've been
Something in the way we are
Makes me wanna dive down into a brand new sin
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
And you look like I think Jesus would've looked
Oh you look like Jesus.
Now I know why Mary and the boys got, Mary and the boys got, Mary and the boys got hooked.
Ooh....
6. CINDERELLA
Lyrics: Alyson Palmer, Music: Alyson Palmer & Tony Salvatore
©2008 BETTYRules Music (BMI) & Nefarioso Music (ASCAP)
Cinderella's chains of chiffon
Held her fast long past her prince had gone
Sleeping Beauty rose with a scream
When a prickly kiss ripped up her dreams
Yes we tried and tried ever after
All the magic died
Yes it's sad to tell we're better after
Breaking the spell
But raise a glass of wine
To once upon a time
How the mermaid danced in the tide
Until change for a stranger left her high & dry
Nun Rapunzel loved her quiet life til
the ass trespassed and snatched her for a wife
Yes we tried and tried ever after
All the magic died
Yes it's sad to tell we're better after
Breaking the spell
But raise a glass of wine
To once upon a time
Mirror mirror on the wall
who's the wisest of them all
the one who won and lost it all
Yes we tried and tried ever after
All the magic died
Yes it's sad to tell we're better after
Breaking the spell
But raise a glass of wine
To once upon a time
7. Film Noir
Written by Elizabeth Ziff , Amy Ziff, Alyson Palmer
©2008 BETTYRules Music (BMI)
"I just couldn't get her out of my mind, she kept nagging me all the time."
"She's drifting away from me. She hardly speaks to me anymore except to ask for money or poke fun at me in French because I work for a living..."
"That's what you live for, isn't it. You'd do anything for money, wouldn't you? Even blackmail."
"Oh grow up!"
"I've never denied you anything. Anything money could buy, I've given you."
She's film noir. She reels you in. She changes her line, like she changes her skin. She's got it down pat with the right word or look, you're pulled in like that, she's got you, you're hooked. She's playin herself while she's foolin the world, she's paper maiche, the adaptable girl.
Fade in, Fade out. Move in, move out
Fade in, Fade out. Move in, move out
She's film noir. She reels you in. Smoke rings of laughter, celluloid sin.
You sit in the dark with a split in the screen, then you dissolve where she ended the scene. She's playin herself, while she's foolin the world. She's femme façade, the adaptable girl.
Fade in, Fade out. Move in, move out
Fade in, Fade out. Move in, move out
Fade in fade out.
("I'm going to do exactly what I please and when I please")
Move in move out.
Fade in fade out move in move out
("I didn't mean to, I tell you")
She's film noir. She reels you in. your unhappy ending begs to begin. You're holding your breath as she walks out the door. You're holding your heart last beat of the score. She's playin herself, while she's foolin the world. She's got a new script. The adaptable girl.
Fade in, Fade out. Move in, move out
Fade in, Fade out. Move in, move out

9. AVALANCHE
Alyson Palmer / Amy Ziff / Elizabeth Ziff
©2009 BETTYRules Music (BMI)
Thanks to Kate Pierson for the Warnings!
It's chillingly thrillingly
What I feel but just can't see
Steeper deeper
We started something
We could not foresee
Wilder fiercer than me
Its rumbling it's coming
EVERY TIME YOU ARE NEAR
I AM TUMBLING
HEAD OVER HEELS WITH DESIRE
LIKE A SNOWBALL GROWING DOWN A MOUNTAIN
LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT!
AVALANCHE
Icy shivers
Shook me by surprise
Dripping slipping
I even dove for cover
To keep myself from harm
Waking shaking
In your arms
We're falling together
EVERY TIME YOU ARE NEAR
I AM TUMBLING
HEAD OVER HEELS WITH DESIRE
LIKE A SNOWBALL GROWING DOWN A MOUNTAIN
LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT!
AVALANCHE
Sliding down slippery slopes
Rolling on ice cold rocks
Flying through powder skies
Downhill high
EVERY TIME YOU ARE NEAR
I AM TUMBLING
HEAD OVER HEELS WITH DESIRE
LIKE A SNOWBALL GROWING DOWN A MOUNTAIN
LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT!
AVALANCHE
10. raw
lyrics: amy ziff
music: mike thorne, david maurice
i've half a mind
to keep on running
on broken legs
and borrowed time
my skin still burns
where you first touched me
and when you turned to stare
i nearly went blind
i'm still raw
i'm of two minds
to keep on running
with bleeding breath
without a dime
i'm blue and black
where you first held me
and when you turned to stare
there was nowhere to hide
i'm still raw
make myself forget
will myself to will
make myself forget
will myself still
raw
i'm still raw
11. ANOTHER ONE
lyrics & music: Elizabeth Ziff with Alyson Pqlmer & Amy Ziff
©2009 BETTYRules Music
No not another one
Here comes another one
No not another one
Here comes another one
To live through to laugh through to love through
To keep it together
I locked all my secret doors to not go through this any more
But somebody found the key and got deep inside of me
To live through to laugh through to love through
To keep it together
Your last look cut me to the bone
I tried to be good on my own
No past no future I am home
Every break leads back to alone
No not another time
Stepping over the thin black line
I thought we were doing fine
now I'm fighting to keep my mind
To live through to laugh through to love through
To keep it together
I am done and nobody won nobody won
Your last look cut me to the bone
I tried to be good on my own
No past no future I am home
Every break leads back to alone
12. HONEY WEST
lyrics & music: Alyson Palmer
©2008 BETTYRules Music
from Anchorage to Zanzibar
wherever clever criminals are
call her name she won't be far
calling Honey West
a flick of her wrist at Scotland Yard
then embedded in the metal of a window guard
a slim titanium business card
calling Honey West
from the gutter to the throne she's at home
with a wicked smile
what style
adrenaline-addicted
'cherries in the snow' on her joe
at her best dressed to kill
Honey West
the only clues at the Grand Hotel
a Blahnik print a hint of Chanel
but hot ice tinkles like a bell calling Honey West
curiosity keeps kitty fed
danger is the lady's daily bread
one bulletproof platinum rule:
the more there's heat the more she's cool
from the gutter to the throne she's at home
with a wicked smile
what style
adrenaline-addicted
'cherries in the snow' on her joe
at her best dressed to kill
Honey West
public nusiance private dick
she can lick a man
with just a swizzle stick
soon she'll disappear from sight
for now she's loose in catsuit tight
forever sharp in black and white
from the gutter to the throne she's at home
with a wicked smile
what style
adrenaline-addicted
'cherries in the snow' on her joe
at her best dressed to kill
Honey West

don't have
nothing over me
king kong
look at me look at me now
climb the tallest building
slap planes down from the sky
can't you see can't you see now
i'll beat my double D chest
and give a mighty jungle cry
i'll protect you when you're sleeping
bathe you in moonshine
if you can't be happy...
at least you will be mine
king kong
don't have
nothing over me

look at me look at me now
i'm just a beast in love
with one thing on her mind
can't you see can't you see now
i'm all you'll ever need
so just leave the rest behind
i will break through chains and cages
just to swing you from my vine
and if you still can't love me...
at least you will be mine
give it up give it up
give up a little comfort, baby
take a big brave chance
if you smell danger
it's because i reek of romance
look at me look at me now
i'll serenade you nightly
with coconuts and tea
can't you see can't you see now
i'll capture you with kindness
i'll show you what i mean
i will build a tree top lovenest
just the best one of its kind
and if you still don't want me...
at least you will be mine
at last you will be mine.
king kong

nothing over me
