My Wicked Ways © 2017 Kashimana Ahua Sometimes I lie to protect you from torment Sometimes I fight to keep you on your toes Sometimes I cry to end our arguments Sometimes I cheat, cause I can I suppose Chorus And it’s you, who loves my wicked ways, Yes it’s you, who hates my wicked ways And you love to love, and you hate to hate (aah) But most of all, you love to hate my wicked ways. The way I speak, let me whisper in you ear The way I lick, my lips they do betray The way I seek, I want to please you here I don’t play fair, but I take your breath away. Chorus Wish I could stop, this spreading my love so thin Wish I’d give up, be happy with my part Wish I could pop, in the space you love in Wish I was good, but wicked doesn’t feel so bad Chorus Bridge I’m a good girl, I’m just gone bad And I want you but I don’t need you I’ll lead you on, I’ll fall in love I’ll take it all, if you’ll give it all Chorus

Do you ever hear a ringing in your ear a bee is singing that you’ve had enough and you’ve come to a conclusion that you’ve had enough confusion time to toughen up You’ve reached the end of a crazy maze no matter how far you run trouble never strays you care, and know their there pour me that beer, whiskey or gin Let the sinning begin (Bridge) (maybe tomorrow, tonight) Do you ever get the feeling that you’re gonna need some saving ‘fore the day is done Let the sinning begin Let the sinning begin Let the sinning begin (Spoken) Let the sinning begin

about

Our sun first started off as tiny particles of sun dust floating in space, spinning ever closer to one another, slowly gathering enough mass to become the Sun. Our star is proof that from the darkness light emerges. I hope this album is a light unto your world as it has been a light unto mine.
Be Here, and shine bright like the sun that you are.
Love from the Sun!
