--

The food that I'm eating
Is suddenly tasteless
I know I'm alone now
I know what it tastes like
So break me to small parts
Let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts
There might be some good ones

Like you might make a dollar
I'm inside your mouth now
Behind your tonsils
Peeking over your molars
You're talking to her now
You've eaten something minty
And you're making that face that I like
And you're going in, in for the kill, kill
For the killer kiss, kiss
For the kiss, kiss

I need your money
It'll help me
I need your car and I need your love
I need your money
It'll help me
I need your car and I need your love
So won't you help a brother out?
Won't you help a brother out?
Won't you help a brother out, out, out, out, out?

Just break me to small parts
Let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts
You might make a dollar

You might make a dollar
Dollar
You might make a dollar

So won't you help a brother out?
Won't you help a brother out?
Won't you help a brother out, out, out, out, out?

Just break me to small parts
Let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts
There might be some good ones
You might make a dollar
(There might be some good ones)
There might be some good ones
(You might make a dollar)
You might make a dollar
(There might be some good ones)
There might be some good ones

cant believe ppl are talking its getting on my nerves if i were them i would just be listening or singing along.

[brn22dance]

people are talking and its pissing me off

This may be what most artists' concerts sound like ... people talking and chatting about during a performance. The difference may be that with some the music is louder and drowns out the talk, especially when there's a full band. But Regina's concerts are about her ... her voice and her piano for the most part. I can't understand why people would pay to see her, then talk through most of her performance. It is downright stupid and disrespectful. I've seen it happen a few times already.

I made my family listen to this song and all they would do is ask me "What does she mean, 'you might make a dollar?'" Heck, I don't understand it too well, but that doesn't make the whole song bad! What is interesting about Regina is that you get something new out of her song EVERY time you listen to them--they are just that poetic. She writes songs that are funny and sad, but they make you think. That's why she's so amazing. I don't know why some people can't understand that. :/

what an interesting point of view, from the back of an ex-lover's mouth... how poetic:D

I was at the show exactly two years ago. It was one of the best nights of my life.

[PkHenrik]

were this people watching the concert or talking? for fuck sake...i just wish i could have been there to see her and those ridiculous fools talking...

[CyberSpectrumND]

Things I've learned from Regina, She's a brotha.
