Track Name: All Summer Long (Summer 2012 Edit)
I'm loving you hands down
you're spinning my head round
I wanna see you with your pants down
all summer long

This is my summer song
I might sing it all summer long
I might sing it when the leafs are falling
I might still sing it when winter's calling

This is my summer song
I might sing it all year long
I might sing it next year too
It's all because of you
Track Name: Waste It On Me
You're the ocean and I'm a drop of water
You're the lotion and I'm some rancid butter
You're the flower and I'm some greasy earthworm

You're the skies and I'm some closed coal mine
If champagne is you I am home-brew
You are beauty and I'm beast's ugly cousin

I guess that means
that we don't match that well

It's plain to see
that you're from heaven and I'm straight outta hell

So it's true you're wasting your life
by taking this ring and becoming my wife
But if you wanna waste your life anyway
Go waste it on me
Track Name: If I Ever Make It Big
You live in a different part of the world
We never met, but you seem like a good girl
The things you write make me wish
you were by my side

You play the ukulele like me
We share the same dream when we're asleep
The voice I hear makes me wish
you'd be singing right in my ear

Read my lips: If I ever make it big
I'll be travelling the world
Read my lips: If I ever make it big
I'll be coming home for you
Track Name: Love Me For My Money (Radio Edit)
Wouldn't it be so nice if I were a little slimmer?
We could be making love with the lights on!
Wouldn't it be so nice if I had the body of a swimmer?
We could be making love with you having fun!

But I guess that's the way, that's the way it's going to stay
but I got other assets and that's why I ask you honey can't you...

Love me for my money, for my dough
for my cash and for my car
that's not farfetched, is it!?

Love me for my money, for my dough
for my cash and for my car
that's not farfetched, is it!?

Wouldn't it be so nice if I were a little taller?
I could be kissing you without that ladder!
Wouldn't it be so nice if I didn't have these braces?
I could be kissing you a little better!

But I guess that's the way, that's the way it's going to stay
but I got other assets and that's why I ask you honey can't you...

Love me for my money, for my dough
for my cash and for my car
that's not farfetched, is it!?

Love me for my money, for my dough
for my cash and for my car
that's not farfetched, is it!?
Track Name: The Zoo Song
Last night I was thinking that somehow
It was time I came up with a vow
Laying out the things I’d do for you
Like learning how to dance for you or getting a tattoo

Every line I wrote would sound so dumb
Cheesy, phoney, cheap, and meddlesome
But in the end I found a vow
And I am going to sing it now
I hope that no one wrote these lines before

I would eat lice straight from your back
I would catch a fish and feed you with it
So you’d have a snack
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for you
I love you like the animals that we saw at the zoo

It’s kind of weird
But it is true
Track Name: Bettie's Song (Acoustic)
You talk to me
Sometimes you smile at me
Even spend time with me
What is it with you?

If this is some sort of science project
Please, let me know!

I may not be cool
I may not be strong
I may not be smart
but this is your song

A handful of chords
that's all that I know
it can't be enough
'cause I love you so

I may not be cute
I may not be bright
but I could love you
for all of my life

Those cheesy words
are all that I know
It's never enough
'cause I love you so

You touched my face
over at Anna's place
when all of your friends were there
What is it with you?

If this is some sort of science project
Please, let me know!

I may not be cool
I may not be strong
I may not be smart
but this is your song

A handful of chords
that's all that I know
it can't be enough
'cause I love you so

I may not be cute
I may not be bright
but I could love you
for all of my life

Those cheesy words
are all that I know
It's never enough
'cause I love you so
Track Name: When You Kiss Me
Every now and then I feel a little insecure
a little lost, when you're not here
And every now and then I feel that I'm still
having trouble growing up, when you're not near

But every now and then I feel like I'm a lucky man
and not a loser, that's when you're with me
And every now and then I feel like everything is
just the way it should be, it's when you kiss me

Ain't it funny how the way I feel
totally depends on if you're far away or near
I hope you cope with the responsibility
but I love you so, I'd always let you go

I know you can't take care of me for all of my life
that can't be what you get for being my wife
I'll try and give the best that I can
I'll try to be your man
Track Name: Where Troubles Grow
People used to say
That a kid my age shouldn’t wear black
On a sunny day

People used to say
That a kid my age shouldn’t talk back
In such an ill-bred way

They think they know
Where to go
What to say
What’s inside and so they claim

I’m insane
But it’s them
And I’ll always stay right here
Where troubles grow
Where troubles grow

People say today
When they look at us
That we won’t last
'cause it can’t be love

They’re telling us that we should part
And we better part fast
'cause it can’t be love

They think they know
Where to go
What to say
What’s inside and so they claim

We’re insane
But it’s them
And I’ll always stay with you
Where troubles grow
Where troubles grow
Track Name: Away For A While
I'm not a smart man
In fact I'm not even a man
But even a stupid boy like me
can see that the sorrow is killing you and me

I'm not a smart man
In fact I'm not even a man
But even a stupid boy can
come up with a plan

Hey you, why don't we just go away for a while?
Hey you, let's go to a place where people always smile.
We can leave all the sadness right here in this place
Maybe when we return it's moved away

Hey you, why don't we just go away for a while?
Hey you, let's go to a place where people always smile.
We can leave all the sadness right here in this place
Maybe when we return it's moved away
Track Name: The Things You Said To Me
I know too well how the wrong words can escape
It goes easily -- I said "I love you" when we met
and I proposed on our first date
see I know what I'm talking 'bout

When you just said that you feel our love is dead
I was queasy but now I think that what you've said
was just a slip of the head
I have seen it -- you don't mean it

And I know you didn't mean
the things you said to me
Track Name: Dead Serious (Remix)
I got my first ukulele from a gullible kid
He gave it to me when I told him
it had timber worms in it

I got my first kiss from a girl named Annie Henderson
a thousand kisses followed
even though she kinda bit my tongue

But the first time
my heart was ever broken
that was when you
went away

Yeah, the first time
my heart was ever broken
that was when you
went away

And I am dead serious
though you said I'm never serious
Don't know why it's always funny
when I try to pour my heart out, that ain't right

And I am dead serious
though you said I'm never serious
don't know why it's always funny
when I try to pour my heart out, that ain't fair
Track Name: Taking Back Everything
Hear me
I’m taking back all my words
You hear me?
I’m taking back all my words
You hear me?
I’m taking back all my words
From you

See me
I’m taking back all my smiles
You see me?
I’m taking back all my smiles
You see me?
I’m taking back all my smiles
From you

Feel me
I’m taking back all my touches
You feel me?
I’m taking back all my touches
You feel me?
I’m taking back everything
From you

Hear me
I’m taking back all my words
You hear me?
I’m taking back all my words
You hear me?
I’m taking back all my words
You hear me?
I’m taking back everything
From you
