Tunes & Tales: Get Weird

I honestly am surprised that it took me so long to listen to a full album by Little Mix! I have had plenty of their singles on my playlists, since I'm into catchy pop tunes, but it never occurred to me to actually look them up on Spotify and listen to their album. End result? I'm hooked! I really love Get Weird, and not just because the title is amazing. It's got such fun pop tunes, and very sassy lyrics, and I'm totally looking forward to their next album as well now!

VIBE: Pure, unadulterated girl power pop

WHY: I'm a pop girl through and through, so their sound is right up my alley.

TRY: Black Magic and Hair will be familiar to many already, but I love both those songs. For the lesser known ones, I really love Lightning and I Won't.

Black Magic / The Secret of a Heart Note

If you're lookin' for Mr. Right,

Need that magic

To change him over night.

Here's the answer.

Come and get it,

While you've still got time.

Take a sip of my secret potion,

I'll make you fall in love.

For a spell that can't be broken,

One drop should be enough.

Boy, you belong to me,

I got the recipe

And it's called black magic

Love Me Like You / What I Did for a Duke

Used to get it when I wa-a-ant.

You were pouring out your love, I could never get enough

Now I'm dealing with these bo-o-ys

When I really need a man who can do it like I can

Last night I lay in bed so blue

Cause I realized the truth, they can't love me like you

I tried to find somebody new

Baby they ain't got a clue, can't love me like you.

Weird People / The Only Thing Worse Than Me is You

We're gonna get weird all night

I said, "Now let's get weird all night."

Weird people on the dance floor

We're just doing what we came to do

'Cause we're all weird people and we love it

Don't let them other suckers hate on you

'Cause we're all weird people and we're shaking

From the basement to the roof

You know the people on the bus and the people on the street

People like you and the people like me

Weird people (let's get weird)

Secret Love Song / Timekeeper

We keep behind closed doors

Every time I see you, I die a little more

Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls

It'll never be enough

It's obvious you're meant for me

Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly

Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep

But I'll never show it on my face

But we know this.

We got a love that is homeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?

Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?

I wish that it could be like that

Why can't we be like that?

'Cause I'm yours

Hair / Sugar Daddy

I call my girl 'cause I got a problem

Only a curl is gonna solve it

Then I don't really care,

Just get him out of my hair, yeah

Let's switch it up, get it off my shoulder

I've had enough, can't take it no longer

I'm over him I swear,

I'm like yeah

'Cause he was just a dick and I knew it

Got me going mad sitting in this chair

Like I don't care

Gotta get him out my hair

I tried everything but it's useless

He pushed me so far

Now I'm on the edge

Make him disappear

Go get him out my hair

Grown / To All the Boys I've Loved Before

Hold up, wait, you used to be a frenemy

Back then boy, ya didn't even notice me

Why now, you trying to get a hold of me

We never even spoke so what makes you think you know me?

It's funny how the tables turn

I'm sitting back baby watching you burn

No regrets, it's a lesson learned

'Cause what you think ain't my concern

About time that I let you know

My ride and I assume control

You blew it baby years ago

Can't get with me, now I'm grown

I Love You / The Mistake

Uh oh, uh oh, here I go again, baby, baby

I hear your name and it's like I'm breaking, aching

You still got that power hanging over me

It's always over but still happening

Uh oh, uh oh, here I go again, baby, baby

I just wanna scream out 'til my voice breaks

Even if the tears fall and my heart hates me

Baby I love you

OMG / The Perfect Waltz

I don't even know how I did that

Need a round of applause

Just like cream to a kitty cat

Lining up at the door

Maybe it's the way I work it

My beach bring the boys to the shore

Maybe it's the way I flirt

That they get hurt, they just don't learn

I don't even know

Why they fall like dominoes

Oh my gosh, I did it again

He said I broke his heart, it keeps happening

I don't know why they always fall for me

Lightning / The Perilous Sea

I'd cross a desert and an ocean

To get away from the pain of your storm

I chased the sun light, been running from your shadow

So that I could heal and I didn't feel

That zig-zag shooting through my heart

That zig-zag hit me like a dart

Electricity, electricity

Oh, this love's tearing me apart

I've been running like the light from the dark

Electricity keeps on hitting me

A.D.I.D.A.S. / Changing His Game

Since I met you I've been thinking all day

I've been Googling ways to keep you entertained

It's been 3 weeks since we started to play

Now we're serious, babe, 'cause what you do is crazy

I never had somebody who could do them things

Make me say ooh, ooh, ooh

So come on, baby, baby, come on pretty, baby

You're gonna get it tonight

Love Me or Leave Me / Love, in Spanish

You used to tell me that you loved me once

What happened, what happened?

Where is all of this coming from?

What happened, what happened?

You say I'm crazy and there's nothing wrong

You're lying and you know I know

Baby, what have we become?

What happened?

We used to never go to bed angry

But it's all we ever do lately

And you're turning away like you hate me

Do you hate me, do you hate me? Oh

You, can take this heart

Heal it or break it all apart

No, this isn't fair

Love me or leave me here

The End / The Score

I can't keep breaking up with you,

You messed with my heart baby,

Now it's black and blue,

Love isn't fair,

So I swear,

That this time,

This is the end.

I Won't / Cloudwish

I got my pride, my self-respect

Need nothing more, want nothing less

'Cause all that I got should be enough to make it work

'Cause all that I want is to love and just be loved

I'll never let it go cause we can do this on our own

I'll never let it go, we have too much to let it fall

I'll never let it go 'cause we can do this on our own

I'll never let it go, we have too much to let it fall

And I won't let anybody tell me no

I won't take anything for granted

'Cause I know that nothing good comes easy

Secret Love Song, Pt. II / Daughter of Smoke and Bone 

It's obvious you're meant for me

Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly

Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep

But I'll never show it on my face

But we know this, we got a love that is hopeless 

Clued Up / Girl Before a Mirror

And now I'm older, it's never over

It don't stop affecting me, the world keeps testing me

I'm getting on track with every knock back

On a bad day, I just gotta stay, stay, stay, stay

I stay clued up and I'm ready

To love the good and live the bad

Clued up and now I get it

Just make the best of what you have

Cause sometimes it's beauty, sometimes it's pain

Sometimes it's sunshine, and sometimes it's rain

I'm clued up and now I get it

Just make the best of what you have

The Beginning / The Queen of the Tearling

Let's take it back to where we first began

They turned us strangers into closest friends

Turn the page and see the wonder

That's here for you and I

Was all so different once upon a time

But now the spark we got won't ever die

Close your eyes and feel the magic

Don't ever let it go
