Stupid Girl

Stupid girl
Leave him sleeping
Don’t mistake a pulse
For a heart that’s really beating
Stupid girl
Sneak away
Your aloofness
Is what makes him stay
And we play
Play this game
Not a hide and seek
More a tear each other to pieces
And it’s fun
Till the morning comes
When this illusion
Brings disillusion
And we’re done
Stupid girl
Put down that phone
Even on his couch
He will never be home
And stupid girl
Don’t be weird
You’re so much cuter
Without those tears
And we play
Play this game
Not a hide and seek
More a tear each other to pieces
And it’s fun
Till the morning comes
When this illusion
Brings disillusion
And we’re done
Don’t make this a romantic comedy
Fuck Lena Dunham and the Hollywood machine
Some people are just assholes
Some people are just assholes without a heart of gold
And we play
Play this game
Not a hide and seek
More a tear each other to pieces
And it’s fun
Till the morning comes
When this illusion
Brings disillusion
And we’re done

Between
05:19

You always wondered when your love song would come
You always wondered if you could be my muse
I often wondered if I could love someone
Who would love me better than you
You could see me as a child and aged
I couldn’t see you at all
So I let our images fade
Into the depths of our fall
You could chalk it up to timing
But that doesn’t seem fair
Our love was never fleeting
But got caught in the air
In Between
What I said and what I mean
I always said you were the best man I knew
I never told you things that weren’t true
But I thought I could hide behind truth
And that it would save you
That it would absolve me
That it could be enough
You could chalk it up to timing
But that doesn’t seem fair
Our love was never fleeting
But got caught in the air
In Between
What I said and what I mean
I always said you were the best man I knew
I never told you things that weren’t true
But I thought I could hide behind truth
And that it would save you
That it would absolve me
That it could be enough
Which/This was/is Love (Love, love, love)
Love that could be enough
Which/This was/is Love (love, love, love)
Love that is strong enough
ohhh
And if I
Could give you
Half of what you’ve given to me
Then we
We could be
So happy
Which/This was/is Love (Love, love, love)
Love that could be enough
Which/This was/is Love (love, love, love)
Love that is strong enough
ohhh

Worth

I don’t care man
If I’m not your girlfriend
All I need’s some action
Respectfully
And I don’t care if
We don’t go out on date night
But don’t call me on Friday
Saying plans of have changed
Cuz I know my worth and (Hey, uh huh uh huh)
I know this hurt and
It doesn’t make an equation
Are you worth me? (You are not worth me)
Have you shown me yet? (You haven’t shown me)
Your x is my z
Or reciprocity
(The worth in me, yeah)
I don’t care if
We don’t hold hands at midnight
Even when it feels right
Walking down the street
And I don’t care when
I don’t hear my phone ring
Cuz communication
Just ain’t your thing
Cuz I know my worth and (Hey, uh huh uh huh)
I know this hurt and
It doesn’t make an equation
Are you worth me? (You are not worth me)
Have you shown me yet? (You haven’t shown me)
Your x is my z
Or reciprocity
(The worth in me, yeah)
The worth in me
I know I never said I love you
We only spoke of sturdy fences
But when we were both asleep
Well the guards were sleeping too
And you crawled into that hole
Where foundation was loose.
Cuz I know my worth and (Hey, uh huh uh huh)
I know this hurt and
It doesn’t make an equation
Are you worth me? (You are not worth me)
Have you shown me yet? (You haven’t shown me)
Your x is my z
Or reciprocity
(The worth in me, yeah)
You are not worth me yet (yeah)
No

Remember My Name
03:48
|

I don’t care
If you think I’m strong
I don’t care
If you think I’m whole
Cause every tea cup has a soft spot and when you touch it, it shatters apart
I don’t care
If you think I’m happy
I don’t care
If you think I tell you everything
Cause every well has a bottom you can’t see, so just ask me
And I don’t want to make you worry
Cause that’s how you spend your time
And that’s not what I’ve been put on this earth to do
And I don’t want to sound ungrateful
Or cause you any more pain
Just remember my name
I don’t care
If you think I’m broken
Because we both know
That I’m not
But even reliable machinery breaks down sometimes
I don’t care
If you didn’t love me
Because by now
I’ve made it so
But every little girl gets tired of playing piano to make mom smile
Play this one for me
Just play this one for me
I don’t care
About this often
But sometimes
I really do
So, when that happens can you hold me and say that I love you?

Untouchable
04:16
|
|||
If you would have kissed me that night
I would have looked something awful
Everyone would have known when we walked in
With your shit eating grin
And you would have known that you had me
And I would have known that I’m still bad
I’m not worth the love that I’m given
If you would have kissed me that night
You would have seen fireworks
But not cause of me. It’s all in your head
From the acid you had taken
But you would have thought that I’m the one
And I would have got what I wanted
I’m not worth the love that I’m given
I’m a goddamn untouchable
I’m too fuckin’ greedy
You give me what I need
But nothing can please me
I’m a goddamn untouchable
I’m too fuckin’ needy
You give me what I want
But nothing can feed me.
If you would have kissed me that night
I would have felt something
Which is more than I can say most days
It’s a nice change, though it’s gut wrenching
You would have walked away pleased
And I would have felt so guilty
I’m not worth the love that I’m given.
I’m a goddamn untouchable
I’m too fuckin’ greedy
You give me what I need
But nothing can please me
I’m a goddamn untouchable
I’m too fuckin’ needy
You give me what I want
But nothing can feed me.
I know you know I’m not in love
And you know I know you lie
We’re just too lost souls looking for some love
Or just a warm body to hold
I’m a goddamn untouchable
I’m too fuckin’ greedy
You give me what I need
But nothing can please me
I’m a goddamn untouchable
I’m too fuckin’ needy
You give me what I want
But nothing can feed me.
Will you touch me
Will you touch me
Please.

For Lily
03:35
|

Oh Lily you never knew me
But I knew I loved you from the start
Your existence was the best that happened to us
But you were birthed from a farce
Your hair was curled by the ocean
Your skin the color of sand
And if you remember to love like your mother
You would never be here again
Oh lily oh lily oh lily
Don’t leave
me alone now
You have grown now
Though we never believed
That Lily oh Lily oh Lily
You’d live
But we needed
To believe it
In order to give
All our love
Oh Lily I loved your daddy
But we cruelly learned loves not enough
To keep you happy, to keep you hungry
And your life’s not my work of art
But sleep now in our beating cradles
And live eternal in our songs
And if you remember to love like your father
You will live in love forever long
Oh lily oh lily oh lily
Don’t leave
me alone now
You have grown now
Though we never believed
That Lily oh Lily oh Lily
You’d live
But we needed
To believe it
In order to give
All our love
So lily, you’ll never lose me
Because you live in memory
Of what could be when your beauty
Finally is released from the sea

Business of Healing
04:18

She’s such a pretty girl
That’s what they always said
She knows how to use it well
She’s such a special girl
That’s what they always said
She knows how to use them well
Her hair’s so perfectly undone
She knows what she’s doing
Knows what she’s doing
She reads Sidhartha and practices Tantra
Business of healing
Business of healing
She’s such a relaxed girl
That’s what they always say
At least if they are men
She shows you what she wants to
And never lets you in
But she’ll get locked in your head
She comes so perfectly undone
But you’ll never see it
You’ll never see it
She cries and convulses in fits
But you’ll never hear it
You’ll never hear it
Ooohh She’s in the business of healing
Business of healing
Ohhh but who’s healing whom?
She needs you
She gets you
She uses
Then forgets you
She loves you
Then leaves you
Cause convenience
Is what she’s into, ooooh
She’s in the business of healing, oooooh
She’s in the business of healing you.
She’s such an easy girl
That’s what they always say
But don’t think you’re in control
She knows when to act dumb
And when to show you fun
Then she’ll tell you about your soul
She plays every rapture to capture
She knows what she’s doing
Knows what she’s doing
Shows you yoga and when she’s bent over
The business of healing
Business of healing, oooooh
But who’s healing her?
She needs you
She gets you
She uses
Then forgets you
She loves you
Then leaves you
Cause convenience
Is what she’s into, ooooh
She’s in the business of healing, oooooh
She’s in the business of healing you.
Every justification falls on deaf ears and broken hearts
You don’t need her anymore
She cured you
She told you
Every justification falls on deaf ears and broken hearts
You wonder why if you’re not sick
You want your fix
And need her.
She needs you
She gets you
She uses
Then forgets you
She loves you
Then leaves you
Cause convenience
Is what she’s into, ooooh
She’s in the business of healing, oooooh
She’s in the business of healing you.

Sky
03:45

My mother loved too deeply
To ever love herself
My father loved too deeply
To ever love someone else
And they passed their disease onto me
So I can’t be by myself
But I love too deeply to be with
Someone else
Cuz when this heart melted
Well the deluge started
And no one could keep it damned
Yeah when this soul melded
Well the angels felt it
But we’re still gonna be damned
I want to be
I want to be the sky
Ever expanding and floating by
I want to engulf, consume
Everyone I see
That’s what it feels like
To be loved by me
My brother loved too deeply
to keep his love in one place
My sister loved too deeply
To be concerned with saving face
And they passed their advice onto me
Don’t give your love away
So I never give it freely
But if you love me you don’t have to pay
I want to be
I want to be the sky
Ever expanding and floating by
I want to engulf, consume
Everyone I see
That’s what it feels like
To be loved by me

I Did
03:41
|

You never felt it
I felt it
You never said it
but I heard it
You never meant it
but I meant it
You never felt it
I did.
I never knew
but you knew it
You couldn’t fake it
You couldn’t fool it
You tried to make it
You won’t make it
You never felt it
I did
You never felt it
I did
The laying was a lie
And the holding was a phase
The kissing only made it worse
The lusting was a lot
But accounted for the most
‘Cause you never felt it
You never meant it
I did.
You never loved it
but you liked it
I never liked it
but I let it
You never tried it
but you let me cry
‘Cause you never felt it
but I did
You never meant it
but I did
The laying was a lie
And the holding was a phase
The kissing only made it worse
The lusting was a lot
But accounted for the most
‘Cause you never felt it
You never meant it
I did.
… I was too stubborn to admit it
That you never felt it

Will Not Die
04:48
|
|||
On the edge
Of a cliff
You can feel
Every atom moving
Then it stops
You exhale
And feel weightless
But don’t remember jumping
It’s true you’re not falling
The Ground is coming up to meet you
On a boat
You can see
The earth move
Watching the horizon
You are rocked
You feel small
Then you’re wet
But don’t remember crashing
It’s true you’re not drowning
The sea is filling up within you
We will not die
We will not die
We rest our eyes, and bones, and breath
Ooo oo
All alone
You can feel
You’re past lovers
And the life you’re making
Their lips graze
Across your skin
You feel helpless
But don’t remember breaking
It’s true you’re not crying
The bath of Cleopatra’s in you
We will not die
We will not die
We rest our eyes, and bones, and breath
Ooo oo

These Roots
04:15
|
|||
I am so in love
I am so in love
But the love that I feel's not for you
You could give me diamonds
You could give me pearls
But the weight of this world’s not my glue
Oh I am so in love
I am so in love
And the light in my eye is my proof
But it comes from the sun
And cannot be undone
Cuz even in the darkness I shine true
These roots, these roots, these roots
Will bear fruit
But don’t cut them out
Cuz it's not just for you
Oh I am so in love
I am so in love
I can spread it thick as honey
And it tastes as sweet
But isn’t bought or sold
Though it’s as pure as gold
It’s not money
Oh I am so in love
I am so in love
It pours down my cheeks for all to se
But these tears that I cry
I’d never wipe aside
Because the joy behind them sets me free
These roots, these roots, these roots
Will bear fruit
But don’t cut them out
Cuz it's not just for you
These roots…

MeMo New York, New York
MeMo was once just a girl and her piano, but through the grace of the amazing musicians around her a new creative baby was
born. MeMo and Friends is now a band of 5-9 roving, feral misfits influenced by anything from Detroit's Motown to the music inside an Irish pub. Think Fiona Apple on a light cocktail of amphetamines and prozac.
