All I Want For Christmas Is You lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Mariah Carey)

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

(1, 2... 1, 2, 3)

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
And I won't even stay awake to
Hear the magic reindeer click

I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I can hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one that I need?
Won't you please bring my baby back to me?

I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true, oh
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah

All I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas
Is you
All I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas
Is you
All I want for Christmas...

Thinkin Bout You lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Frank Ocean)

A tornado flew around my room before you came
Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn't rain
In Southern California, much like Arizona
My eyes don't shed tears, but, boy, they pour

When I'm thinkin' 'bout you (ooh, no, no)
I been thinkin' 'bout you (ooh, no, no, no)
I been thinkin' 'bout you
Do you think about me still?
Do ya, do ya?

Do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout forever, oooh

Do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout forever, oooh

No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool
Enough to kick it
Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho
Since you think I don't love you, I just thought you were cute
That's why I kissed you
Got a fighter jet, I don't get to fly it, though

I'm lyin' down thinkin' 'bout you (ooh, no, no)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you (ooh, no, no, no)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
Do you think about me still?
Do ya, do ya?

Do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout forever, oooh

Or do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever, oooh

I remember, how could I forget?
How you feel?
You know you were my first time
A new feel
It won't ever get old, not in my soul
Not in my spirit, keep it alive
We'll go down this road
'Til it turns from color to black and white

Do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout forever, oooh

Do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout forever, oooh

What Do You Mean? lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Justin Bieber)

What do you mean?
Ohh ohh ohh
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean?
Hey yeah
When you don't want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
Ohh
What do you mean?
Said we're running out of time
What do you mean?
Ohh ohh ohh
What do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?

You're so indecisive of what I'm saying
Tryna catch the beat, make up your heart
Don't know if you're happy or complaining
Don't want for us to end
Where do I start

You wanna go to the left and you want to turn right
Wanna argue all day, make love all night
First you're up then you're down and then between
Ooh I really want to know
What do you mean?

When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean?
Hey hey
When you don't want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
Ohh
What do you mean?
Said we're running out of time
What do you mean?
Ohh ohh
What do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?

You're overprotective when I'm leaving
Tryna compromise but I can't win
You wanna make a point but you keep preaching
You had me from the start, won't let this end

She wanna go to the left then you want to turn right
Wanna argue all day, make love all night
First you're up then you're down and then between
Ooh I really wanna know
What do you mean?

Ohh
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean?
Hey hey hey
When you don't want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
Ohh ohh
What do you mean?
Said we're running out of time
What do you mean?

What do you mean?
Hey
What do you mean?
Oohhh
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?
Ohh ohh ohh
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?
Ohh ohh ohh
What do you mean?
Oohh

Said we're running out of time
What do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?

What do you mean?
Do you mean?
Do you mean?
Said we're running out of time
What do you mean?

I Took A Pill In Ibiza lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Mike Posner)

I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
When I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
But fuck it, it was something to do
I'm living out in LA
I drive a sports car just to prove
I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes

You don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
Don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
Don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, are sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, are sad songs

I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
I get along with old timers
'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
And I can't keep a girl, no
'Cause as soon as the sun comes up
I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
But the truth is I can't open up

You don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
Never don't wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, are sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, are sad songs, are sad songs

I took a plane to my home town
I brought my pride and my guitar
All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns
And the people still think I'm a star
I walked around downtown
I met some fans on Lafayette
They said tell us how to make it 'cause we're getting real impatient
So I looked 'em in the eye and said

Don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
Don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, are sad songs
Darling, all that I know are sad songs, are sad songs, are sad songs

Shape Of You lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Ed Sheeran)

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
You come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van The Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance

I'm singing like
Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come on now, follow my lead

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
And last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love

One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay
Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play

And I'm singing like
Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put your body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
Now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love with your body

Come on, be my baby
Come on, be my baby
Come on, be my baby, yeah
Come on, be my baby
Come on, be my baby
Come on, be my baby
Come on, be my baby

Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I ohh
I'm in love with your body

PILLOWTALK lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by ZAYN)

Climb on board
We'll go slow and high tempo
Light and dark
Hold me hard and mellow

Seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
'Body but you, 'body but me, 'body but us
Bodies together
Love to hold you close, tonight and always
Love to wake up next to you
Love to hold you close, tonight and always
I'd love to wake up next to you

So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place you lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behaviour
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in, fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone

Pillow talk
My enemy, my ally
Prisoners
Then we're free, it's a thin line

I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
'Body but you, 'body but me, 'body but us
Bodies together
Love to hold you close, tonight and always
Love to wake up next to you

So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place you lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behaviour
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in, fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone

Paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone
Paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone

So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place you lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behaviour
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in, fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone

Pillow talk
My enemy, my ally
Prisoners
Then we're free, it's a thin line

Uptown Funk lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Mark Ronson)

This hit
That ice cold
Michelle Pfeiffer
That white gold
This one for them hood girls
Them good girls
Straight masterpieces
Stylin', wiling
Livin' it up in the city
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent
Gotta kiss myself I'm so pretty

I'm too hot
Call the police and the fireman
I'm too hot
Make a dragon wanna retire, man
I'm too hot
Say my name you know who I am
Too hot
I'm band 'bout that money
Break it down

Girls hit your hallelujah
Girls hit your hallelujah
Girls hit your hallelujah
'Cause uptown funk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown funk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown funk gon' give it to you
Saturday night and we in the spot
Don't believe me just watch

Don't believe me just watch

Stop
Wait a minute
Fill my cup put some liquor in it
Take a sip, sign the check
Julio, get the stretch!
Ride to Harlem, Hollywood, Jackson, Mississippi
If we show up, we gon' show out
Smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy

Too hot damn
Call the police and the fireman
Too hot
Make a dragon wanna retire, man
Too hot
Say my name you know who I am
Too hot
I'm band 'bout that money
Break it down

Girls hit your hallelujah
Girls hit your hallelujah
Girls hit your hallelujah
'Cause uptown funk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown funk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown funk gon' give it to you
Saturday night and we in the spot
Don't believe me just watch

Don't believe me just watch

The Place Where Lost Things Go lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Emily Blunt)

Do you ever lie
Awake at night?
Just between the dark
And the morning light
Searching for the things
You used to know
Looking for the place
Where the lost things go

Do you ever dream
Or reminisce?
Wondering where to find
What you truly miss
Well maybe all those things
That you love so
Are waiting in the place
Where the lost things go

Memories you've shed
Gone for good you feared
They're all around you still
Though they've disappeared
Nothing's really left
Or lost without a trace
Nothing's gone forever
Only out of place

So maybe now the dish
And my best spoon
Are playing hide and seek
Just behind the moon
Waiting there until
It's time to show
Spring is like that now
Far beneath the snow
Hiding in the place
Where the lost things go

Time to close your eyes
So sleep can come around
For when you dream you find
All that's lost is found
Maybe on the moon
Or maybe somewhere new
Maybe all you're missing lives inside of you

So when you need her touch
And loving gaze
Gone but not forgotten
Is the perfect phrase
Smiling from a star
That she makes glow
Trust she's always there
Watching as you grow
Hiding in the place
Where the lost things go

Can't Feel My Face lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by The Weeknd)

And I know she'll be the death of me
At least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me
The worst is yet to come
But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, this I know

She told me, "don't worry about it"
She told me, "don't worry no more"
We both knew we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be, be alone, oh, oh, woo

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it
So I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it

And I know she'll be the death of me
At least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me
The worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love
Yeah I know, yeah I know

She told me, "don't worry about it"
She told me, "don't worry no more"
We both knew we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be, be alone, oh, oh, woo

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it
So I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it
So I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it
So I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it

Ex Factor / Nice For What lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Lauryn Hill / Drake)

It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
'Cause no one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')
It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy (this is crazy)
This is crazy (this is crazy)

I keep letting you back in (back in)
How can I explain myself?
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we've got to do
You let go, and I'll let go too
Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')
It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy (this is crazy)
This is crazy (this is crazy)

Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?

Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me

Everybody get your mothafuckin' roll on
I know shorty and she doesn't want no slow song
Had a man last year, life goes on
Haven't let that thing loose, girl, in so long
You've been inside, know you like to lay low
I've been peepin' what you bringin' to the table
Workin' hard, girl, everything paid for
First-last, phone bill, car note, cable
With your phone out, gotta hit them angles
With your phone out, snappin' like you Fabo
And you showin' off, but it's alright
And you showin' off, but it's alright
It's a short life, yeah

Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?

Yeah that's a real one in your reflection
Without a follow, without a mention
You really pipin' up on me
You gotta be nice for what to me?
I understand

You got a hunnid bands
You got a baby Benz, you got some bad friends
High school pics, you was even bad then
You ain't stressin' off no lover in the past tense
You already had them
Work at 8 A.M., finish 'round five
Hoes talk down, you don't see 'em outside
Yeah, they don't really be the same offline
You know dark days, you know hard times
Doin' overtime for the last month
Saturday, call the girls, get 'em gassed up
Gotta hit the club, gotta make that ass jump
Gotta hit the club like you hit them mothafuckin' angles
With your phone out, snappin' like you Fabo
And you showin' off but it's alright
And you showin' off but it's alright
It's a short life

Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I needed you?

River lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Joni Mitchell)

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach myself fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Make me weak at the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach myself to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

Brick lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Ben Folds Five)

Six A.M
Day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping, I am numb

Up the stairs
To the apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad
Went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out

And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

They call her name
At 7:30
I paced around the parking lot
Then I walk down
To buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I've got

Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me, "son, it's time to tell the truth"
And she broke down
And I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying

Driving back
To her apartment
For the moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
And I'm alone
And now I know it

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
