lukas graham - 7 years

Once I was seven years old, my mamma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely.
Once I was seven years old.

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger.
Pushing each other to the limits, we won't learn them quicker.
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.
Once I was eleven years old.

I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
Once I was twenty years old.

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure.
Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major.
I got my boys with me atleast those in favor
And if we don't lead before I leave, I hope ill see you later.

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything, I saw before me
Once I was 20 years old.

Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming.
Soon we'll be 30 years old.

I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once

I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can bore me
Soon I'll be 60 years old
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can bore me
Soon I'll be 60 years old
Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old

lukas graham - mama said

When Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was ok
Mama told us we are good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were good kids

Remember asking both my mom and dad
Why we never travelled to exotic lands
We only ever really visit friends
Nothing to tell when the summer ends
We never really went buying clothes
Folks were passing on this stuff plenty loads
New shoes once a year and then
Out to play ball so we could ruin them

When mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was ok
Mama told us we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were good kids

Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
But I don't think they really understood
When I said that I wanted the deal in Hollywood
I told them I'll be singing on TV
The other kids were calling me a wannabe
The older kids they started bugging me
But now they all standing right in front of me

When mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was ok
Mama told us we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were good kids

I know which place I'm from
I know my home
When I'm in doubt and struggling
That's where I go
An old friend can give advice
When new friends only know a half story
That's why I'm always keep them tight
And why I'm okay
,I said I'm OK
You know what my mama said
You know what she told me

My mama said that it was ok
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was ok
Mama said that we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were good kids

Mama said that it was okay
Dabdadadabdadad bdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Mama said that it was okay
Dabdadadabdadad bdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

When mama said that it was okay

lukas graham - don t hurt me this way

Sunday morning
Trying to clear my head
I don't remember what I did
I can't remember sh*t
But I feel good
You know you've got to live
But now you want me, you really want me
Now you're on your knees begging please, oh-oh
And acting kinda strange
Telling me how much you want me
But this can never change
I used to want you
Now it's not the same
What you give is what you get
I said no, but you're still begging

Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me this way
I thought we agreed, that we both felt the same
Baby, don't hurt me, it's not ok
You say

I know I told you
Girl there's no excuse
We both have to draw the line
You had the chance to choose
Why you messing, messing with my head?
Making me feel guilty
When you know I'm innocent

Baby, please, o-o-oh
You were just a fling
I never would have started
If I knew how it would end
All I'm asking
Is take this pain away
What you give is what you get
I said no, but you're still begging

Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me this way
I thought we agreed, that we both felt the same
Baby, don't hurt me, it's not ok
You say

You said it meant nothing to you
That it was alright with you
Don't ask me what I can't do

So why you being unfair?
So why you being so cruel?
So why you being this mean?
What have I ever done to you?
But you're still begging

Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me this way
I'm sorry I can't take your pain away
So baby, don't hurt me, it's not ok
You say

So baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me this way
I thought we agreed, that we both felt the same
Baby, don't hurt me, it's not ok
You say

lukas graham - nice guy

Boy, I tried to tell you
But you just wouldn't hear
We've got the house full of ladies
And you're acting a queer
We've got your female friends
But you can't get anywhere

I'll tell you one last time, boy
Life isn't fair, na-na-na

If you feel ashamed
Step up your game
She's calling my name
'cause she's getting bored

She thinks you're a fool
For not making moves
It could have been you
Oh, so you're the nice guy?

All of my boys gon' get their la-le-la
You won't get no na-ne-na
[x2]

Nice guy!

I told you many times before,
But boy, you did it again
You met a hot ass girl,
And turned her into your friend
You bought her drinks all night long
You we're ready to spent
I brought her home that night
And I should thank you again
'cause you're the nice guy

If you feel ashamed
Step up your game
She's calling my name
'cause she's getting bored

She thinks you're a fool
For not making moves
It could have been you
Oh, so you're the nice guy?

I'm gon' get my la-le-la
He's gon' get some la-le-la
All of my boys gon' get their la-le-la
You won't get no na-ne-na

Nice guy!

Rule number one
Don't ever do it her way
'cause if you make her do it your way
You might do it today

And rule number two
Don't ever buy in the bar
'cause if you buy in the bar
The next thing she wants' a car

When you're the nice guy
When you're the nice guy, yeah
[x2]

So you're the nice guy

I'm gon' get my la-le-la

(yeah, you f*ck it up for everybody else, nice guy
You making life a living hell for the rest of us,
You know, being all nice to them ladies and sh*t,
Buying them stuff
You know what? you should start being a little less nice,
Learn how to be a real man
When you go out you should take to the ladies
Be a man, don't be all nice guy
Don't tell me you didn't
'cause I know you did!)

Nice guy!

lukas graham - apologize

Babe, you got me smiling
Forgetting all I've lost
My angel lost her halo
So I put her next to God

I called her my angel
Gave her all my time
And she was the kind of woman
Who could give me peace of mind

But now it's over
She betrayed me

(How does the defended plead?)

I'm not guilty
There's nothing I did wrong
What I did was all her fault
And I won't apologize
I won't apologize for what she made me do
I won't apologize to you

(Sit down, young man! Or I will hold you in contempt of this court)

Babe, you got me smiling
Forgetting all I've lost
My angel lost her halo
So I put her next to God

I took her for a picnic
Asked her, is it true?
She said, yes, and I'm sorry
I never meant to hurt you

She began to worry
I said, I'm still in love
And you can't keep on living
If you don't think I'm enough

And now it's over
She betrayed me

(How does the defended plead?)

I'm not guilty
There's nothing I did wrong
What I did was all her fault
And I won't apologize
I won't apologize for what she made me do
I won't apologize to you

(I'm dismissing this case on the grounds of insubstantial evidence)

Policeman got me smiling
He thinks I'll go to jail
But I got proper lawyers
So I told him, go to Hell

The judge is asking questions
I don't know what to say
Only that she slept around
And that she deserved to pay

I won't apologize, I won't apologize

There's nothing I did wrong
What I did was all her fault
And I won't apologize
I won't apologize for what she made me do
I won't apologize to you

lukas graham - never let me down

There's just something about her
She got me working harder
She is always on my mind
Oh, oh, oh I tell you

She's got something that's better
It holds my world together
When she's with me I'm alright

And everywhere I go
Empty handed
Feeling we've been parted for so long
That's why I keep you right here in my palm

You never let me down!
I swear you're a blessing
Oh! ain't you the best thing?
Wow! love everlasting
Never get me wrong
Oh, you let me be-eeee-eee, be-eeee-eee, be-eeee-eee,
Do that love me

Come on! come on

Back at the ball I was having my drink
Talking to my lady, never needed a shrink
Somebody sent me a smile and she threw me a wink
She asked, "are you single?"
I said, "what do you think?"

Girl, everywhere I go
Empty handed
Feeling we've been parted for so long (long)
That's why I keep you right here on my arm

You never let me down!
I swear you're a blessing
Oh! ain't you the best thing?
Wow! love everlasting
Never get me wrong
Oh, you let me be-eeee-eee, be-eeee-eee, be-eeee-eee,
Do that love me

Bum-bada-bumbum-badadabada?

Come on!

I like to mix it, girl
I like to twist it with you
I like to shake it, girl
I think I'll make it with you
I like to mix it, girl
I like to twist it with you, you, you

You never let me down!
I swear you're a blessing
Oh! ain't you the best thing?
Wow! love everlasting
Never get me wrong
Oh, you let me be-eeee-eee, be-eeee-eee, be-eeee-eee,
You gotta love me

Come on!
Come on!
Come on!

lukas graham - happy home

Mama called about the paper turns out they wrote about me
Now my broken heart's the only thing that's broke about me
So many people should've seen what we got going on
I only wanna put my heart and my life in songs
Writing about the pain I felt with my daddy gone
About the emptiness I felt when I sat alone
About the happiness I feel when I sing it loud
He should have heard the noise we made with the happy crowd

Did my grandaddy know he taught me what a poem was
How you can use a sentence or just a simple pause
What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy was
I thought about it for a while and I'm at a loss
Knowing that I'm gonna live my whole life without him
I found out a lot of things I never knew about him
All I know is that I'll never really be alone
Cause we gotta lot of love and a happy home

Magazines are writing stuff but I don't ever read them
Some of the folks I used to know would see and start believing
That I would pass them by on streets and never reach to greet them
I still remember folks even though I rarely meet them
Don't you know I miss the times when we used to hang
Before twenty deep depended on a single man
Before a single heart was broken by a single blow
Before all our careers depended on a single show

I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on a road
I realize privacy's becoming difficult
It's all right now but what about when I'm old
I know my good friends now they'll last
the same ones that stood by me when my daddy past
All I know is that we'll never really be alone
Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home

I write a lot of songs will anybody ever read them
You hear them on the radio but will you really read them
Why do we have our idols and why do we wanna be them
After we see them on TV we really wanna meet them
Don't you think they miss the times when they used to hang
Before a fan base depended on a single man
Before a single heart was broken by a single show
Who's gonna stand, who's gonna fall I really wanna know

I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
My daddy use to play me vinyl but now daddy's gone
I used to practice with my mommy on the piano
I still get nervous every time I know she's at a show
Now my family comes first before everyone
I had the perfect dad I wanna be the perfect son
Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own
I know I got a lot of love and a happy home

lukas graham - drunk in the morning

Girl I got one question
Are you still awake?
Awake enough for me to see you, see you
Please just listen
Yes I know it's late
But better late than never

I know it's five in the morning, morning
Not sure who I?m calling, calling
You haven't heard from me in some time

Girl I hope you want me, want me
When you hear me talking, talking
You know I?ve been out and is it ok I stop by?

When I?m drunk in the morning
I'm calling you,
You might be lonely
Lonely
When I'm drunk in the morning
I'm calling you

You might be lonely
Lonely

Emma I did
And Sophie I kissed baby
Sarah I had in my hand
But I'm calling you
But not before it's past two o'clock
Cause I'm balling with my boys
My boys, my boys

I know it's five in the morning, morning
Not sure who I?m calling, calling
You haven't heard from me in some time

Girl I hope you want me, want me
When you hear me talking, talking
You know I?ve been out and is it ok I stop by?

When I?m drunk in the morning
I'm calling you,
You might be lonely
Lonely
When I'm drunk in the morning
I'm calling you
You might be lonely
Lonely

I know you?re glad I called
Now you can have it all
When we?re together
You?ll know how it should be
When you?re drunk
Maybe we should go
And spend some time alone
Baby you?re so beautiful
When I'm drunk
When I'm drunk

lukas graham - criminal mind

Years go by and I miss you
I can't describe what you've been through
But you're gone
We do what we believe in
Set a goal and stop dreaming
I'm not saying you're wrong

But every time you're going
And I'm asking myself why
Hoping, oh just hoping you won't go
I know you're proud of me
You're holding your head high
It's Ok, it's Ok, it's Ok, it's Ok

'Cause I know I'll get you back
Though I know your mind is criminal
It don't matter, no
You're going in again
I know I'll get you back
No, I know your mind is criminal
I got women for you man
When you're coming out again

You know I could have been witchu
Been witchu, done what you been through
I had a chance to choose
When enough's enough will you know it
When you reach your goal will you hold it
I'm afraid you're gonna lose

And every time you're going
And I'm asking myself why
Hoping, oh just hoping you won't go
I know you're proud of me
You're holding your head high
It's Ok, it's Ok, it's Ok, it's Ok

'Cause I know I'll get you back
Though I know your mind is criminal
It don't matter no
I bet you're going in again
I know I'll get you back
No, I know your mind is criminal
I got women for you man
When you're coming out again

I know I'll get you back
A criminal, a criminal
[x4]

lukas graham - moving alone

I was still in my teens
The biggest man in my life went and shattered my dreams
How could you do it to mum?

I swore back then I wouldn't be like you
And it hurt like hell you didn't tell us the truth
How could you do it to mum?

I don't even know if you know that you hurt us
From all I understand it seems like you just don't care
Now I'm walking alone with my burden
A burden to bear that can never belong to me

I'm just a chip off the block
Never too far from you
Tell me, daddy, what to do?
Tell me is it destiny to start fooling around
You keep fooling around

Did you know that I knew, knew about her and you?
And I felt so confused
I even considered to tell mummy the truth
Tell mummy the truth, tell mummy the truth,
Tell mummy the truth, tell mummy the truth

But I'm just like him now
Now the circle starts over, starts over again
I realize the story's not over at all
I thought the cheating would have ended with him
But now I'm cheating, now I'm cheating on my own girlfriend
Truth be told, I guess she wasn't special at all

She doesn't even know if I know that I hurt her
From all she understands it seems like I just don't care
Now I'm walking alone with my burden
A burden I bear now because it belongs to me

I'm just a chip off the block
Never too far from you
Tell me, daddy, what to do?
Tell me is it destiny to start fooling around
You keep fooling around

Did you know that I knew, knew about her and you?
And I felt so confused
I even considered to tell mummy the truth
Tell mummy the truth, tell mummy the truth,
Tell mummy the truth, tell mummy the truth

Everybody's walking alone
Everybody's walking alone
Everybody's walking alone
I said
Everybody's walking alone
Everybody's walking alone
I know that everybody's walking alone

I'm just a chip off the block
Never too far from you
Tell me, daddy, what to do?
Tell me is it destiny to start fooling around
And keep fooling around

Did you know that I knew, I knew about her and you?
And I felt so confused
I even considered to tell mummy the truth
Tell mummy the truth, tell mummy the truth
Tell mummy the truth

lukas graham - don t you worry bout me

[Verse 1]
Hey my friend, how you've been?
What are you going through?
What is this trouble, that's troubling you?

He tried to turn the thing around
And asked me how I've been
I said, I really don't know where to begin

I saw my life come crashing down
I crawled, I walked, I'm flying now
I found my strength on my knees

[Chorus 1]
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me

[Verse 2]
A lot of people told me
When daddy passed away
Go take some time off
But I've got no time to waste

Don't you have a dream too
Some goals you've got to make
You may feel small sometimes
It don't mean you can't be great

I saw my life come crashing down
I crawled, I walked, I'm flying now
I found my strength on my knees

[Chorus 2]
So, don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry, worry, worry
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me

[Verse 3]
Sometimes your life can bring you down
Sometimes you run for miles and miles
Sometimes you scream without hope

Now once you feel you hit the ground
Then victory comes back around
And you'll be proud to let them know

[Chorus 3]
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Oh please
Don't you worry, worry, worry, worry
No, don't you, don't you, worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me

[Chorus]

I take the world by storm (storm, storm, storm)

[Verse 3]
There's got to be more than this
Gotta figure out how to jump the wall
I wanna live and learn
Don't matter if I land or if I fall
I know I might return
At least I know I'll be walking tall
I'm not afraid
Cause I take the world by storm (storm, storm, storm)
I take the world by storm (storm, storm, storm)

lukas graham - strip no more

I met this girl, I think she likes me
I must admit I like her too
She said she'd be working tonight
I said cool I'll drop by and she looked at me, smiled, and said: That's great, baby
When I showed up, I was confused

I said: Hey, where's that girl I talked to yesterday?
Now I said: Hey, where is Destiny, is that her name?
I can't believe she would leave
Without me, Destiny

How come you don't strip no more?
Uh-uh-uh uhhhh
How come you don't strip no more?
Uh-uh-uh uhhhhh

I met your friends, I think they like me
(They like me) Ooh!
But they don't do it like you do
They told me you were graduated, why didn't you say it?
That's so cool
I'm just so proud you made it through

But I said: Hey, where's that girl I talked to yesterday?
Now I said: Hey, where is Destiny, is that her name?
I can't believe she would leave
Without me, Destiny

How come you don't strip no more?
Uh-uh-uh uhhhhh
How come you don't strip no more?
Uh-uh-uh uhhhhh

I was at table three, b.y.o.b. and
Destiny sat next to me
She asked me if I liked her dance
I told her "I'm your biggest fan"
Then she took me by the hand, and turned this boy into a man
Inside a private room, I hope you understand
I was like uh uh (uh uh)
She made me go wee hee (wee hee)
She made me go uh uh uuuh (uh uh uuuh)
Now I'm not mad that you don't want me
I'm just stuck here wondering
I wanna know

How come you don't strip no more?
Uh-uh-uh uhhhhh
How come you don't strip no more?
Uh-uh-uh uhhhhh
How come you don't strip no more?
Uh-uh-uh uhhhhh
How come you don't strip no more?
Uh-uh-uh uhhhhh

Why don't you strip no more, don't strip no more
Baby don't strip no more, don't strip no more
Don't strip no more, baby don't strip no more
Don't strip no more baby...
How come you don't strip no more?

lukas graham - you re not there

I only got you in my stories
And you know I tell them right
Remember you and I, when I'm awake at night
So give it up for fallen glory
I never got to say goodbye
I wish I could ask for just a bit more time

Every step I take, you used to lead the way
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own

You're not there
To celebrate the man that you made
You're not there
To share in my success and mistakes
Is it fair?
You'll never know the person I'll be
You're not there
With me

Though I know that you're not there
I still write you all these songs
It's like, you still got the right to know what's going on
As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound
Sometimes I still think I can spot you in the crowd

Every step I take, you used to lead the way
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own

You're not there
To celebrate the man that you made
You're not there
To share in my my success and mistakes
Is it fair?
You'll never know the person I'll be
You're not there
With me

Time can heal your wounds if
You're strong and standing tall
I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all
They say you'll grow older, and it'll get better still
Yes, I will, but no it won't
They don't get it,

'Cause you're not there
To celebrate the man that you made
You're not there
To share in my my success and mistakes
Is it fair?
You'll never know the person I'll be
You're not there
With me

lukas graham - 7 years peter pan

Once I was seven years old my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends
Or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old

The smile, the charm, the words, the spark

Everything, you had it

I guess I had a naive heart, cause boy

I let you have it

You said I was your only

I never thought you'd leave me lonely

You're just a lost boy, with your head up in the clouds

You're just a lost boy

Never keep your feet on the ground

Once I was eleven years old
My daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife
Or you'll be lonely
Once I was eleven years old

But You'll never grow up

And You're never gonna be a man

Peter Pan

I always had that dream
Like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs
I started writing stories
Something about that glory
Just always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love
Will ever really know me

You're always gonna fly away

Once I was 20 years old
My story got told
Before the morning sun
When life was lonely

You're always gonna fly away

Once I was 20 years old

You're always gonna fly away

Just because you know you can

You're never gonna learn

There's no such place as neverland

You don't understand

You'll never grow up

You're never gonna be a man

Soon I'll be 60 years old
My daddy got 61
Remember life
And then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when
I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit
Once or twice a month

You're always gonna fly away

Soon I'll be 60 years old
Will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children
Who can warm me
Soon I'll be 60 years old

You're always gonna fly away

Soon I'll be 60 years old
Will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children
Who can warm me
Soon I'll be 60 years old

You're always gonna fly away

Once I was seven years old my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends
Or you'll be lonely

You're always gonna fly away

Once I was seven years old

Once I was seven years old
