Out of your league

Sometimes I still don't understand
Why you can't be my boyfriend
You should be so happy with me
I am far more than out of your league
I am more funny, more intelligent
I have seen more of this world than you can imagine or understand
I know more than you can bear
I wonder if you have anything to adhere
Do you go through life without a purpose?
I see you always having fun, but what's underneath the surface?
I wonder if there's something underneath
Or have you always neglected your feelings entirely?
You were never really in love with me
It was cool cause it was new to you, probably
I can cook and make love cause I understand sex
You don't deserve to call me your ex

Nine lives

Remember that time in Russia?
The impressive subway 90 meter below
Remember back in Jamaica?
Braided hair and Bob Marley to go
We saw places before they became touristic
From Tunis to Egypt, from Guatemala to Mexico
You took me everywhere
Elementary school, I've barely been there

Remember our apartment?
I have one picture of us there
I had a plan, you were the man
We were living in the middle of nowhere
Too many things you didn't understand
Too many times you didn't care
For two years I was hooked
But then I used my eyes and really looked

Your Swedish friend was here in 2005
We were hanging out at the Flying pig daily
I recall you were my life
Students having fun, everything was so easy
Then came the day we had to fight
I was keeping our relationship together
But with one person fighting it didn't survive
I felt alone and bitter

Things never last
That's why it's called the past
Years from now someone else will represent
This life I now call present
I've got pictures of moments in time
That'll only live in our minds

I've already lived nine lives
I've been everybody's wife
I've been all over the globe
I've felt things before, a lifetime ago
But with you, so many things are new
Are you the last life I have to through?

To all my friends

Nien, whether we're going up or down
We'll always be friends, I'm always around

Mae we've known each other for so long
We only need half a word to know what's going on

Martine, even though we're miles apart
For 24 years and more to come you're always in my heart

Cell you always know how to make me laugh
I will always be thankful for what we have

Martin, we grew up together
We've got so much nice moments to come and so much to remember

Sao-Ying back in high school when you first came around
You were so shy and now the world is your playground

Jess, you're one of my sweetest friends
You're leaving the country, but nothing ends

Nathalie you and me we've got this thing
With cooking foreign food and travelling

Berry we broke up but I didn't lose my friend
We're still hanging out and checking out bands

Jeroen, I've seen you grow into a man
You're a cool guy with a kick ass girlfriend

Vincent we can talk for hours on end
I always stay longer than I should and rearrange my plans

Miles can't separate us
If you wanna go in depth with me, you'll find all of you right underneath my surface
Oh where would I be without all my friends?
I wanna take you all out for a one life stand

Laugh about it

I can't hide my flaws
I'm all out in the open
You see me fall,
You see me crawl
Sometimes I think I'm strong,
Sometimes I doubt it
Someday I'll laugh about it
Someday I'll have a blast about it
Someday my sky is less clouded
Someday I'll laugh about it

Credibility (Back in 2003 for Tim)

I just can't keep coming back whenever I feel lonely
There isn't a better way for losing my credibility
You could never resist and always fell down on your knees
Cause I was still the one in your dreams and fantasies
I've become exactly what I didn't want to be
Crying at you and making a fool of myself repeatedly
I'm lost at sea, I'm living in a fantasy
All that never was will never ever be
I must open my eyes and start to see
Face my life, my fears and the reality
So all I can say is I hope she makes you happy
And I guess in a way she's saving you from me

It won't happen, period

You're so filthy rich and you want me to date your son
I've known him for years and he's just not the one
It won't happen

You've been chasing me forever or so it seems
But you're not the one who occurs in my dreams
It won't happen

On new years eve I was the coolest girl you'd ever met
You had never seen a girl dance like that
It won't happen

We dated and all your friends said we matched perfectly
But you can dream all you want about me
It won't happen

At the bar we had a little thing but you weren't a talented kisser
I'm sorry to say you ain't gonna take me out to dinner
It won't happen

I met you at work and saw your face become all red
I was the sexiest girl you had ever met
It won't happen

When we met you thought I was such a catch
You got so nervous I knew we'd never match
It won't happen

So you can cook better than I do
And you are in need of a chance for proof
It won't happen

So you can tell me all I want to hear:
How funny I am and you always stare
It won't happen

I remember that night in Haarlem
You just begged for my number and goddamned
It won't happen

I just saw you at the bar your names were Bob and Hans
I'm sorry you ain't exactly what I want
It won't happen

Even my silly jokes made you laugh, you were so convinced
You were jumping around when we kissed at the office
It won't happen

You thought everything about me was so great
But I just wasn't ready yet to date
It won't happen

I met you in Amsterdam we had some common interests
You kept on calling me and sending me sms's
I couldn't care less

I've got to known all you guys
And all I can say is you're all not my types
I've seen you all in que for me
I feel flattered but it will never be
I just don't fall in love that easily
I guess I'll just go home alone bored
And get myself off with some internet porn

Physical addiction

We know we're better off trying to be friends
But we make each other sexually confident
One touch, one look and we know
We wanna take off each others clothes
Whether we kiss fast or slow:
We can't take no more, all systems go
We're each others dynamite
When we come together we ignite
If you wanna know the truth
No one makes me come like you
Everytime when I'm bored or alone
I wanna make you scream and moan
I wanna make your body explode
I wanna grab my phone
And give you a booty call

Toen

Ik mis de tijd dat ik dacht:
Jullie hebben de waarheid in pacht
Toen jullie nog op een voetstuk stonden
Dat ik vond dat jullie alles konden
Ik had veel meer rust in mijn kop
Toen ik dacht: zij lossen alles op
Zij kunnen mij altijd redden
Met hun hulp kom ik altijd verder
Het is alweer zo lang geleden
Dat jullie de wereld begrepen
Ik zie jullie ver beneden
Jullie leven in het verleden
Niets is meer zoals toen
Ik moet alles zelf doen
De rollen zijn nu omgedraaid
Ik leg jullie uit hoe de wind waait
Waarom de wolken verdwijnen
Hoe de aarde draait
En wanneer de zon gaat schijnen

Dipje

Ik woon dicht bij zee
Ik heb geen TV
Ik hou van koken en het strand
Ik heb humor en ben bijdehand
Ik huil makkelijk in het openbaar
Soms ben ik een beetje raar
Elke maandag neem ik me voor minder te drinken
Om het weekend daarop er weer in te stinken
Ik heb meer vrienden dan tijd
Ik vind mijzelf best een leuke meid

Waarom gedraag ik mij dan niet zo?
Ik loop met mijn gevoelens te koop
Mijn hart is rijp voor de sloop

Dit is weer zo'n dip waarvan ik morgen denken zal:
Waar maakte ik mij druk om, doe niet zo mal!

Hallo hersenen werk eens mee,
Kater ok, maar dipje: NEE!

Powerless

I wanna change your world
I wanna take away the hurt
But all I've got are words
And I see your mess
And feel so powerless
Cause I wish you the best

I'll lend you my ears
I'll lend you my tears
I'll lend you my hands
I'll be the one who understands
But I can't make amends
I can't make your plans
You've got your life in your own hands

So all I can say is:

I can't make
rain or shine
I'm just your friend
if that's fine
If it's your date
or your family
Cry my shoulders wet
when you need me
I am not god-on-delivery
but fate sure has some plans with me
Whichever relationship we end or start
you'll always be here in my heart
Whatever you do, it's alright
When I see you I always smile inside

The truth about life

It's not that my life is really that hard
But sometimes it sucks having a small house without a yard
I must keep faith I'll get there, it's just a start
I can get bored so quick, you have no idea
Maybe I would have been fed up with you eventually, like you feared
Yet to find the man that can entertain me for more than a year
I wish I was more like you, so easily amused
You can jump around when someone mentions barbecue
But then again you're also easily confused
I wanna have a nice couch that feels like a throne
I wanna have a cat to have warmth at home
I guess I just suck at being alone

When 21 years was old

So many memories, we take them with us where ever we go
Do you remember when we thought 21 years was old?
Do you remember we felt like we owned the world?
Late night skinny dipping with all the guys and girls
We were arrogant, had too much to spend
Life was laughing at us when we were students
We were nothing but a pain in the ass for our parents
Do you remember I used to sing in a rock band?
We were playing at my highschool and I wanted to shit my pants
We were so vain, we never stopped
3 am on the school's rooftop
The first time you drove your father's car
We went round and round over the boulevard
A license to drive, a license to ill
Doing a hundred and fifty just for the thrill
Getting stoned, climbing trees
Coming down for a little more weed
And we're still making memories
I've known some of you for 24 years
And I'm sure, with another 24, you'll still be here
Here in my heart, in my head and in my memories

For you and me

I see you struggle, with your heart on your sleeve
You've lost faith in everything you used to believe
Life can be hard if you don't know what you should be

I'm sure we'll die just like we came
Without a penny on our bank account, without shame
A thousand years from now, no one will know our names

Wouldn't we like to think we can make a difference?
Wouldn't we like our life to have a purpose?
It's nice having fun, but sometimes it's meaningless

We're just a drop of water in the ocean
We've lost faith in any kind of god, we believe in humans
We don't believe in love, we believe in best friends

I guess it's our generation
We're too free of authority, family and religion
Our life's a party, and everyone has an invitation

To hell with matters and values
We get drunk and do drugs as we choose
No one can get to us we're footloose

With nothing to believe in, we're always full of doubt
We should straighten ourselves out
And figure out what our life is truly about

I wanna overcome myself in every way
I wanna live life to the fullest everyday
I wanna do something before I turn grey

This ain't a story to be left untold
I wanna break it, shake it, become bold
I wanna lose cowardice before I'm old

I wanna get to where I should be
Look in the mirror at myself in complete honesty
And live a purposeful life for you and me

Subtle ;-P

Oh yes, I found someone who can beat me
Oh Eddy, you're as subtle as pornography
So my tits are doing great for such small ones?
I don't mind as long as they're having fun

Am I sweating like mad or is my pussy that wet?
Oh Eddy, even I'm not half that bad
Good for me my ego has already landed
And I'm not that easily offended

Oh Eddy, you and your blabber mouth
You're like a baboon having it all hang out
Your comment on my poem about my farts and cum face
Can be read by anyone who visits this page...

You have such an innocent face, like a kid
You can say these things and get away with it
Half the time you don't know what you're talking about
You even surprise yourself with the stuff coming out of your mouth

Oh yes, someone who is worse than me, finally
Dear Eddy, you're as subtle as pornography
But watch what you're saying when you're like that
Some things are better to be left unsaid

I don't wanna know

Sometimes It's so weird to see
I can still call you up for company
For borrowing some money
Or just plain smoking a doobie
No one understands me
The way you do
I lost my best friend when I broke up with you

Now you finally see
You took me for granted
That was all I wanted to hear, all these years
And you realize that now we have parted
It's strange to hear even you can feel alone
And you even doubted us building a home
You considered breaking up with me before I broke up with you

I can't believe
You said I can be so naive
You know me so well
I have to believe what you tell
Even though it's not what I want to see
I don't wanna feel this bad about myself
You know my job is below my level and I left myself on the shelf

I don't wanna know

It takes one to know one

You tell me you don't wanna be like your friend
Constantly having to score girls each weekend
Right after we f*cked all evening
Two days later I catch you and her close to kissing

You said you wanted to take it slow
Something didn't feel right, but you didn't know
Next day you're constantly on the phone
You beg me to come over, cause you can't wait that long

You told me you were so in love I even made you stutter
You told me this was the best thing that happened to you ever
And five days later it was all over
You tell me I don't know myself, but shouldn't you beg to differ?

We talk about us, it was a relationship finally
But the next day you break up with me
Don't come telling me I don't know me
When you are a contradiction in terminis

There's still only one person here who doesn't know
Where he's coming from or where he should go
I figured myself out some years ago
Might not be what you see
But it takes one to know one
And if you don't understand yourself, you'll never get me

So I may act cool and look for confirmation
I know I am insecure in some situations
You're surprised you don't recall
When you're drunk you talk about your job and all
How I'm smart and you're a nobody compared to me
But that's what you said more than once
So don't come explaining me to me
Look in the mirror baby

Stom

Onder de douche terwijl ik m'n haar sta te wassen
In de winkel tijdens het kleren passen
In de supermarkt in de rij bij de kassa
Terwijl ik lekker zit op een terras
Als ik met een van de lekkerste mannen van Nederland lig te zoenen
's Nachts in bed als ik een mug hoor zoemen
Terwijl ik mijn nieuwe thermopane ramen sta te boenen
Ook als ik de afwas sta te doen
Midden in een discussie over huismijt en bedwantsen
Terwijl ik met vrienden sta te dansen
Als ze jaloers zijn omdat ik altijd kan sjansen
Als er wordt gezegd: zoveel mannen, zoveel kansen
Tijdens het voetballen op het strand
Tijdens de wedstrijd Brazilië - Nederland
Terwijl ik aan de telefoon zit met een klant
Als ik wat over de burgemeester lees in de krant

En ik denk er ook aan terwijl ik dit zit te schrijven:
Waarom mocht je nou niet gewoon verliefd op mij blijven?

Ik laat mezelf echt teveel gaan, waar is mijn eigenwaarde?
Je bent godverdomme niet de laatste man op aarde
Maar je lach, je ogen, je krullen, je lichaam, je vrolijkheid
Je blijft na alles nog steeds pure perfectie voor mij
Kon ik maar gewoon boos op je zijn, dan was het misschien sneller voorbij
Maar daar ben ik te vergevingsgezind voor, dat werkt niet bij mij
Hoewel je genoeg koren op de molen hebt gegeven met je onsubtiliteit
Als jij toch eens wist wat je die avond op dat feest allemaal tegen mij zei...
Ik heb echt al alles geprobeerd om je uit mijn hoofd te krijgen
Maar ik blijf mij afvragen waarom je nou niet verliefd op mij kon blijven

Mister Mystery

You are the sex dream of each magazine
You blow my mind like no one of the human kind
You are the only one I can ever speak
This secret language between us and the sheets

You make my mind and body so high
You turn this lady into a wild child at night
I remember months ago when we met
You were so drunk I never thought you'd be like that

My heart is beating so fast, I have to write this:
You make me feel so beautiful
It's like the sun is always shining when you're in control
You are my Mister Mystery
And there's no way I can explain the way you make me feel
I feel so peaceful after we make love
I lay into forever, you're like the sweetest drug
It feels so good to fall asleep knowing that you are there
You make me glow and the whole world around me stops and stares

And when you left me out that day
I thought you would come back anyways
You don't, you won't, but that's okay
I ain't gonna fall, I gotta get up and roll
That's the way you want it, and I can't help it
I'm off to search a new lover
With my chance I might find better
I can picture you alone and in time you'll have to say
Damn I wonder why I broke up with that cool chick
Now I'm wasting all my time looking for girls to meet

Strangers

Maybe one day we'll be strangers
I'll be nothing but a vague memory
You'll think I used to love her
She used to love me

You'll be one of the guys
I let into my heart
I let into my life
But I'll finish the fairytale you weren't drunk enough to start

I had a crush in 2001
You left me before we barely begun
I had a crush in 2002
You loved me, but I stopped loving you
I had a crush in 2005
I thought we'd last, but you couldn't keep us alive
I had a crush in 2010
I thought I had finally found my man
But you were one of them
You didn't stay
Just another one on my love resume
