Lyrics to Guilty Pleasure - Ashley Tisdale (2009)

Alright, some of you must have thought, "Doesn't he have anything better to do than to post lyrics?" Well, it's just that i'm feeling generous today coz it's Malaysia's Independence Day today. Yes, i mean it: I'm being generous. Something rare, so enjoy yea?

The lyrics to the album "Guilty Pleasure" by Ashley Tisdale are very meaningful and have more or less touched me... Nearly all of the songs that Ashley has sung in this album are my favorites!!! Hair, How Do You Love Someone... ah... I'll just name all of the song titles in the album if I continue on... hahaha... so, enjoy the wonderful lyrics! I wanted to put links to the downloads of these songs, but I don't think that's a really good thing to do... haha... In addition, I don't have the links to start with... Hohoho... :P

The lyrics are posted according to how the songs appear in the album, starting with "Acting Out"


1. Acting Out

Up above the surface
I was just the perfect child
But underneath it all
I was craven to be wild
Don't you judge by the cover
It's so far from what you see
I'm losing all my patience
Waiting on to believe

I'm sufocating
I can't breathe

[Chorus]
Let me out (of) this cage
I'm not gonna hold back
Gonna break these chase
And taking control
Gonna give you something to talk about
It's another side of me;
I'm acting out
Set me free
I'm ready to show you
This is what I need
It's time to get dirty
I'mma show you what I'm talking about
It's another side of me
I'm acting out

Welcome to a new beginning
It's time to start the show
No I don't think it matters
If it's real or just a role
Once you get the taste of it
You'll be begging me for more
I'll give you something to remember
Once I hit the floor

I'm letting go
Of what you know

[Chorus]

I've been waiting just to drive you crazy
Now it's my time
And yes it feels amazing
It's nothing left of what you see before
Life is short
Just to do what you told
(just do to what you told x6)

[Chorus]

(Life is short just to do what you told) I'm acting out
(Life is short just to do what you told) I'm acting out
(Life is short just to do what you told) I'm acting out

I'm acting out




2. It's Alright, It's Ok

You told me, there's no need
To talk it out cause it's too late
To proceed and slowly
I took your words and walked away

No looking back
I won't regret, no
I will find my way
I'm broken but still I have to say

[Chorus]
It's alright, ok
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
Alright, Ok
So don't you bother what I do
No matter what you say
I won't return
Our bridge has burnt down
I'm stronger now
Alright, ok
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry

You played me, betrayed me
Your love was nothing but a game
Potrayed a role
You took control, I
I couldn't help but fall
So deep
But now I see things clear

[Chorus]

Don't waste your fiction tears on me
Just save them for someone in need
It's way too late
I'm closing the door

[Chorus]

It's alright, Ok
Alright, ok
Without you
No matter what you say
It's alright, ok
Alright, ok
Without you
I won't be sorry


3. Masquerade

Hip shaker
Dream maker
Heart breaker
Earth Quaker
I can be anything that you want me to

Coins spender
Mind bender
Jet setter
Go getter
Changing my get up for anything you choose

I don't mind trying on someone else
I won't mind seeing just how it felt
I might like changing my disguise
To make you happy

[Chorus]
Here's my formal invitation
You and me go masquerading
Lose ourselves in this charading
Is this love we're imitating?
Do we want, what we got?
If not I, say so what
Here's my formal invitation

La la la la you can be my...

School teacher
Mind reader
Dream weaver
Just be the one I can count on to play it out with me

Hot waiter
Cool skater
Trail blazer
Pose major
Naughty or nice, what I know you want to be

You wanna try on someone else
You might like seeing how it felt
Do you mind changing your disguise
If it makes me happy

[Chorus]

Let's go
Let's go masquerading

We'll make it fun
When it's over and done
I still want you
To see the real me
No more disguises
Let true love decide if
We should be, together

[Chorus]

Let's go
Let's go masquerading

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

La La


4. Overrated

Yeah eh eh eh, oh

I pass my reflection, it's someone else
I see your invention and not myself

I turned into your perfect girl
A total stranger
Now I see and I don't want to

[Chorus]
Being you when it's all just an act
It's overrated
The truth is I'm wanting me back
'Cause I can't take this
I gotta be who I am underneath
Who I gave up so you'd believe
Being you when it's all just an act
It's overrated

So overrated

I let you control me or so you thought
Don't think that you're perfect, you're so messed up
I hid away the best of me
Too scared to notice
Now I do and I'm not going to

Being you when it's all just an act
It's overrated
The truth is I'm wanting me back
'Cause I can't take this
I gotta be who I am underneath
Who I gave up so you'd believe
Being you when it's all just an act
It's overrated

Changing for a guy
Overrated
Living in a lie
It's overrated
Always asking why?
It's overrated

Oh whoa oh

The mirror is shattered
I'm finally free

Being you when it's all just an act
It's overrated
The truth is I'm wanting me back
'Cause I can't take this
I gotta be who I am underneath
Who I gave up so you'd believe
Being you when it's all just an act
It's overrated

Overrated, yeah
Overrated, yeah
So overrated, yeah
Overrated

Oh oh, yeah


5. Hot Mess

I'm a mess when it comes to you
I've got no inhibitions whatsoever it's true
I'm not the kind of girl who runs around like this
Caught up in a kiss
Best friends with benefits, no

[Bridge]
But you're so racy, you're my favorite guy
So unruly, so uncivilized
Cupid got me right between my eyes
You know you got it real bad
Doing things that you never did

[Chorus]
Oh oh whoa, oh oh whoa oh
You wake up in your bra and your make up
Oh oh whoa, oh oh whoa oh
Car's in the driveway parked sideways
Yeah I know this is killing me
I'm leaving every piece of my conscience behind
Oh oh whoa, oh oh whoa oh
I'm such a hot mess
I'm such a hot mess
I'm such a hot mess with you

With you I never knew loving you could be so fun
It's true I was such a good good girl before you came along

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

I'm getting speeding tickets
I'm acting just like a misfit
I'm letting my mail pile up to the ceiling
You're making me irresponsible
'Cause I just want to be with you
Act rambunctious and see what I do

Go hard, hit that gas
Living life like it's all you have
Push, push harder and make it last
All this love is worth a
Mess, hot mess

[Chorus]



6. How Do You Love Someone?


Momma never taught me how to love
Daddy never taught me how to feel
Momma never taught me how to touch
Daddy never showed me how to heal

Momma never set a good example
Daddy never held momma's hand
Momma found everything hard to handle
Daddy never stood up like a man

I've walked around broken, emotionally frozen
Hanging on, get it wrong

[Chorus]
How do you love someone without getting hurt?
How do you love someone without crawling in the dark?
So far in my life clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone?
How do you love, how do you love someone?

I was always the chosen child
The biggest scandal I became
They told me I'd never survive, but survival's my middle name
I've walked around hoping just barely coping
Hanging on, get it wrong

[Chorus]

It's hard to talk to say what's deep inside
It's hard to tell the truth when you've always lied!

[Chorus]

How do you love someone and make it last?
How do you love someone without tripping on the past?
So far in my life clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone?
How do you love, how do you love someone?

Someone...



7. Tell Me Lies

It's in your eyes, feelings can't be disguised
Cause the truth makes me want you to tell me lies
My biggest fear is crying oceans of tears
I would rather you not be so sincere

How cold could you be?
What would you do if you were me?
I'm better off if it's a mystery

[Chorus]
Cause I don't wanna know
If I've kissed your lips for the last time
Please don't say if it's so
Tell my heart it's not goodbye
And do this one thing for me
Make up some stupid story like
It's alright, keep your truth and tell me lies

Something's not right, love is nowhere in sight
I'm not ready to let go, it's not time
How cruel could you be?
Don't say we're through least not to me
I'm better off, leave it a mystery

[Chorus]

Don't tell me you're leaving
There's only so much I can take
It's easier if you're faking

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh whoa

Cause I don't wanna know
If I kissed your lips for the last time
Please don't say if it's so
Tell my heart it's not goodbye
And do this one thing for me
Make up some stupid story
Can't we keep pretending?
This is not the ending tonight
It's alright, keep your truth and tell me lies

Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies



8. What If

Don't speak.
I can't believe...
This is here happening.
Our situation isn't right.
Get real, who you playing with?
I never thought you'd be like this.
You were supposed to be there by my side.

When you say that you want me, I just don't believe it.
You're always ready to give up and never turn around.

[Chorus]
But what if I need you baby?
Would you even try to save me?
Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true?
What if I said I loved you?
Would you be the one to run to?
Or would you watch me walk away without a fight?

I'm so sick of worrying that you're gonna quit over anything.
I can trip and you let go like that.
And everything that we ever were...
It seems to fade, but not the hurt.
Cause you don't know the good things from the bad.

When I say that I want you, you know that I mean it.
And in my hour of weakness, there's still time to try.

[Chorus]

Everytime I speak you try and stop me, cause every little thing I say is wrong.
You say you're noticing, but you'll never see.
This is who I really am, but you can't believe.
Makes me wanna know right now if it's me you'll live with out, or would you change your mind?

What if I need you?

But what if I need you baby?
Would you even try to save me?
Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true?
What if I said I loved you?
Would you be the one to run to?
Or would you watch me walk away without a...

Oh baby, what if I need you? (What if I need you?)

Yeah, yeah.

What if I need...
What if I need you?

Oh, what if I need you? (What if I need you?)

(What if I need you?) If I need you, you, you...?



9. Erase & Rewind

I don't wanna feel like this
I don't want to, i don't want to
I don't wanna freak you out
But I

I think I might have said to much
Didn't mean to, Didn't mean to
Think I might have said It's you and I

[Chorus]
Guess I should leave this behind
Guess I should Erase & Rewind
Some how I can't seem to stay away
I don't want to sound desperate
But I am!
So, say that you'll come around
Guess I should Erase & Rewind
Erase & Rewind

I don't want to stand in line
Like I used too, Like I used too
I don't want to have to scream and shout
Cuz I'm the kind of girl that sticks
like a tattoo, like a tattoo
Yea I'm the kind girl that wears your arm
Your arm

[Chorus]

Your never do return my calls
Just like we never met at all
No matter what I'll always wait for you,
I'll always wait for you, I'll always wait for you

I don't want to feel like this, I don't want to

[Chorus] x2



10. Hair

I'm in disarray
I'm unkempt
And I love ya, sugar
Yeah this is what you do

When you run your fingers through my hair
In the morning I'm feeling like a sexy superstar

[Bridge]
Wow, wow (yeah)
You rock my party
Wanna make me say (yeah)
You're the only one that keeps me singing la la la (yeah)
I love to smell your t-shirt
I like the way you are
But most of all I like it - like it

[Chorus]
I like what you do to my hair
Who knew that looking a mess could feel so good
I like what you do to my hair
Tossle it and tease it
Run your fingers through it
Oh how you do
Now go and mess it up, mess it up
Baby, mess it up
Mess it up, mess it up
Do it 'till I can't get enough oh
I like what you do to my hair
Who knew that looking a mess could feel so good

I'm unperfect
So I'm me
But I love ya, sugar
See this is what you do

You get my ponytail beside my bangs unlovable
But I don't mind 'cause I think it's kinda super cool

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Tonight I'm gonna fix it up real nice
I'll surely tell the girls
I want you to mess em' up
I'll put on a bow
'Cause I want you to know
That you got your name on my heart
You're wicked bad
And I like the way that you do it baby

[Chorus]



11. Delete You

It's not time to give this one more try, I don't think so
Last night you said you want a last lie

I can't let you wreck my plans
I'm planning to let you go
Oh, Only one thing is true, only one thing to do
Time to, delete you

[Chorus]
Burning up... all your pictures
Tearing up... all your letters
Ripping up... all your sweaters
This is, this is
For the better
Slashing up... all your tires
Smashing up... all your flowers
Grabbing back... all my power
'Cause one mess says I don't need you
Delete you

Oh, oh delete you
Whoa oh oh

It's not time to say how much you care, I don't think so
I don't want you, I want you not there
I'm done I think that the time's come
To bring this thing to an end
I, think this could be goodbye, think you've run out of time
Time to, delete you

[Chorus]

All I want from you is for you to disappear
All I need from you is for you to not be here
I guess it's time you got the news
Gonna replace you, erase you
Delete you, Delete you

Oh, oh, delete you
Whoa oh oh, oh, delete you

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, delete you
Whoa oh oh, oh, delete you

Time to delete you
Whoa oh, delete you



12. Me Without You

It's just you and me
And there's no one around
Feel like I'm hanging by a thread
It's a long way down
I've been trying to breathe
But I'm fighting for air
I'm at an all time low
With no place to go
But you're always there

When everything falls apart
And it seems like the world
Is crashing at my feet
You like me the best
When I'm a mess
When I'm my own worst enemy
You make me feel beautiful (beautiful)
When I have nothing left to prove
And I can't imagine
How I'd make it through
There's no me without you
No me without you, no no

You hear what I say
When I don't say a word
You are my rising sun
You're the place I run
You know how it hurts

When everything falls apart
When everything falls apart
And it seems like the world
Is crashing at my feet
You like me the best
When I'm a mess
When I'm my own worst enemy
You make me feel beautiful (beautiful)
When I have nothing left to prove
And I can't imagine
How I'd make it through
There's no me without you
No me without you

There's no me without you
No me without you

And when you say 'baby, it's gonna get better'
I believe you
And I wish that somehow I could see me
The way you do
With my imperfections
You think I'm perfect
When it's not easy
You make it worth it

When everything falls apart
And it seems like the world
Is crashing at my feet
You like me the best
When I'm a mess
When I'm my own worst enemy
You make me feel beautiful (beautiful)
When I have nothing left to prove
And I can't imagine
How I'd make it through
There's no me without you
No me without you, no no

No me without you (no me without you)
No me without you, no no (no me without you), no



13. Crank It Up

Crank it up, (I like that)

Th-th-th-this beat is hypnotic
I wanna ride it like a chauffeur
The sound of the sonic’s
Controlling me just like a robot
I go bionic so d-d-dj put it on on
I’m losing logic and cruising deeper in the zone
It’s so cinematic charismatic, it got me frozed up
This acrobatic beat is something I need a dose of
I’m systematically moving every single bone
There’s no mechanic that can understand what I’m on

[Chorus]
Let’s crank it up
Crank it up
Till the walls cave in
Just crank it up
Crank it up
Put that record on spin
’Cause I am ready to party
Gonna get my girls and get naughty
So crank it up
Crank it up
Till the walls cave in
Just crank it up

Crank it up

Th-th-this beat is melodic harmonic
Got me striking poses
I get up on it electronically
Feeling so fresh
It’s so erotic my body’s
Like a cyclone
I’m like a puppet, can’t stop it
Dropping like a stone
It’s so cinematic charismatic, it got me frozed up
This acrobatic beat is something I need a dose of
I’m systematically moving every single bone
There’s no mechanic that can understand what I’m on

[Chorus]

I systematically move every bone
So crank it up I wanna get in the zone
I systematically move every bone
So crank it up I wanna get in the zone



14. Switch

You're out of this world I'm sure of it
A crazy intuition, you're up and on,
You're here than gone, come back
A curious condition
And then you switch right over
It's weird, yeah I know but
Just can't get a hold of myself

[Chorus]
Hey, so strange
You switched right in front of me
Hey, you've changed
Not like you used to be
Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I'm here you're there, we're worlds apart
So reverse your words, get to the start
And switch back to my world
Hey, you're just
Talking like a machine
Hey, I'm stuck
On everyone in between
Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I'm here you're there, we're worlds apart
So reverse your words, get to the start
And switch back to my world

You're out of this world I'm sure of it
A little more than different
And you keep lacking, lacking concern of it
It's you that I am missing
And then you switch right over
It's weird, yeah I know but
Just can't get a hold of myself

[Chorus]

Wonder where you are, how I can find you
Staring at the stars falling behind you
Across the universe, hope you'll be back soon
I gotta find a place to meet, I'll rearrange it

[Chorus]

(Open your heart, yeah we're back to the start
Open your heart, yeah, get back to the start) x3



15. I'm Back

I see you from a distance, on the prowl
Keep it up, it's only gonna let you down
Come right over here, have a look around
There's not a lotta diamonds in this crowd

You're up to something that's pinnacle, just let me know
Gotta get it while it's available, it's logical
Better get on it, show that you want it
If you keep frontin', it'll be gone

If you're lookin' for somebody to switch you like that
I'm back, I'm back
If you're looking for somebody to keep you on track
I'm back, I'm back
If you're looking for somebody to answer right back
I'm back, I'm back
'Cause you don't have to keep on lookin' no more
'Cause I'm back (I'm back), I'm back

Give me half a chance, I'll make you shine
I'm more like a dove, way passed the dime
Truth is you need this in your life
Anything but me is just wasting time (Uh huh, uh huh)

Got what you need if it's physical, irresistible
Wanna make this night unforgettable, incredible
Better get on it, show that you want it
If you keep frontin', it'll be gone

[Chorus]

[2nd Chorus]
If you're looking for somebody who cuts her own checks
Well I'm back, I'm back
If you're looking for somebody who gets her respect
Well I'm back, I'm back
If you're looking for somebody who don't take no shh..
Well I'm back, I'm back
'Cause you don't have to keep on lookin' no more
'Cause I'm back, I'm back

Go on pretending, I'm not what you're missing
Go on, be happy, you'll never know (never know)
Not gonna stress just to get your attention
Not gonna beg you to get up close (baby, don't! don't, no more coz I'm back!)

[Chorus]

[2nd Chorus]



16. Whatcha Waiting For?

We gotta talk there's a rumor I heard
It's legitimate I found out from her
After all I've done is it what I deserve
Stupid me I thought our love was for sure

[Bridge]
If you did it then admit it cause it's written all over you two
Called your bluff
Had enough
I'm so over it
You'll be sorry, but don't worry cause I already
Found somebody new
Tough luck
You suck
That was such a waste

Whatcha waiting for?
Come over and give it to me
Whatcha waiting for?
I already know what you did
Whatcha waiting for?
Whatcha running from
Baby, baby, baby
Why you're cheating on me
Whatcha waiting for
I'm everything you'll never be
I'm walking out the door
Go ahead and crawl on your knees
Whatcha waiting for?
Whatcha running from?
Baby, baby, baby
How could you do this to me?!

Don't get it twisted I need nothing from you
So pack your bags and your Guitar Hero too
They say that breaking up is a hard thing to do
But oh so easy when you're dumping a fool

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

La la la la la la
That don't work anymore
Shut your mouth
I don't care
Game is over, over

La la la la la la
Heard it all before
No way back
You so whack
You're a loner, loner

Whatcha waiting for?
You messing with my head
I can't take this no more
And all the things you said!!!

[Chorus]

[Ad-libs]

Baby, baby, baby, why you cheating on me?

[Ad-libs]

Baby, baby, baby, how could you do this to me?!



17. Guilty Pleasure

(Whoa!
So treacherous, and dangerous, and devious.
You keep me on the edge, nanana nanana nanana)

[Chorus]
Whoa!
You are my guilty pleasure,
So intoxicating when you know it isn't right,
I'll keep it undercover,
See the pressure's on cause I'm so into you

Typical boys, that's what I like.
And I really have to say that's (hot),
Typical me and my apetite.
For destruction can't you see that,
Any other girl but me,
They would be running from a guy like you.
But now you're gonna find, there is no fight,
What I really mean to say is

[Chorus]

Evidently you're unaware,
Of the chemistry you're throwing out.
Indirectly you have no care,
And I really have no doubt that,
Any other girl but me,
They would be running from a guy like you.
Oh you're something that I can't do without,
And I really have to say this

[Chorus]

(Whoa!
So treacherous, and dangerous, and devious.
You keep me on the edge, nanana nanana nanana)

[Chorus]

Whoa! Mm... Never do without,
Mm never do without (x6)

(Oh, oh, oh)

Right now,
Your gonna find there is no fight.
What I really mean to say is

[Chorus]

(Whoa!
So treacherous, and dangerous, and devious.
You keep me on the edge, nanana nanana nanana)

Whoa!!!



18. Blame It On The Beat

Usually I'm Miss-Pretty-Please,
I'm nice and great down on my knees,
Never get too hot or act too cold.
I'm the poster girl with self control.

But now I'm making noise (like I never do)
And dancing with the boys (maybe even you)
As soon as my body hears that rhythm,
Something starts happening to my system.
I'm moving my feet like the floor's on fire,
Screaming to my girl "Yeah, let's get wild!"
I'm setting off, a chain reaction,
Forgive me, I can't stop dancing.
Oh blame it on the beat. Oh don't blame it on me.
Oh when I act crazy. Blame it on the beat.

Usually I'm perfectly behaved,
Never give you reason to complain.
Then I hear the pounding of this track,
Start to move round like a maniac.

[Chorus]

Oh! Blame it on the beat. Oh! Blame it on the beat.

All my manner's out the door,
When I'm here 4 on the floor.
Jekyll and Hyde, I turn into my other side.
Don't mean to make a scene,
But I'm at the mercy of the power of the beat.
Now sit down and watch me dance, watch me dance (Whoa!), watch me dance.

1, 2, 3, 4,
Oh! Blame it on the beat.
Oh! Don't blame it on me.
Oh! When I act crazy.
Oh! Blame it on the beat.
As soon as my body hears that rhythm,
Something starts happening to my system.
Whoa! Blame it on the beat.
Oh! Don't blame it on me.
Oh! When I act crazy.
Blame-blame-blame it on the beat.
(Whoa!) Blame it on the beat.
Blame-blame-blame it on the beat.



19. Time's Up

Yeah~Yeah, Uh!

I've played the song, now it drives me crazy
I've run a race, now I'm too damn lazy
This love of ours is so sad it makes me laugh today
Seems a little different
Hard to say, but it looks like the end

[Chorus]
Time's up
Promise this time I'm getting off
Better we slam the door shut
Didn't you know if nothing changes, nothing changes
Time's up
Promise this time I'm getting off
Better we turn the lights off
Love is a train
We wait for it, even when it's gone

We've surfed the wave, now we've hit the short end
We've squeezed the fruit, 'til there's no more juice left
We're both so good
Good at keeping up the lie
We can get it in perspective
Kiss my lips
Life is what we make it

[Chorus]

As I'm waving you goodbye, I want you to smile
Save the picture in your frame followed right next to my name
I'm willing to die for love, willing to try, but not willing to lie for love
I know that this cake's already baked
Now it's burning, burning
We can get it in perspective
Kiss my lips
Life is what we make it

[Chorus]
Time's up
Promise this time I'm getting off
Better we slam the door shut (oh, yeah)
Didn't you know if nothing changes, nothing changes
Time's up (even when it's gone)
Promise this time I'm getting off (even when it's gone)
Better we turn the lights off
Love is a train
We wait for it~~
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Even when it's gone
Even when it's gone
If nothing changes, nothing changes
Time's up (even when it's gone)
Promise this time I'm getting off (even when it's gone)
Better we turn the lights off
Love is a train
We wait for it even when it's gone





So, these lyrics have been checked and re-checked by me, yours truly, and the percentage or error is only about 10%, i think... hahaha

Enjoy the lyrics, go download the songs, buy the CD, whatever. This album is a MUST LISTEN!!! :D


and now, for some "desserts", as I always call them, the album covers of "Guilty Pleasure"... one is the official one, and another is one of the many fan-made versions... Enjoy! :)



PS: This post was supposed to take me around an hour maximum to finish posting and editing, but due to the uncooperative-ness of Google Chrome & Opera, it took me about 3 hours instead. so... sigh, luckily I'm still in time to be "generous"... lol

and oh, i'm so hungry after all these editing... so I'm now heading for my "dinner" aka supper... hahaha... so long! :)
