[Music From the Baul] Grace Kelly

First heard this song over the radio (over at 88.3). Super catchy! The whole albums pretty fun!! Some Mika quick facts (courtesy of Wikipedia) Mica Penniman (born 18 August 1983), known as Mika (IPA [ˈmikə]), is a Lebanese-born, London-based singer who has a recording contract with Casablanca Records and Universal Music, and rose to fame around the end of 2006 and the start of 2007. He was trained by Alla Ardakov (Ablaberdyeva) a Russian opera professional and his public performances and jobs have varied from classical performances in the Royal Opera House, writing in-flight music for British Airways and creating an Orbit chewing gum jingle. His debut radio appearance was on Dermot O'Leary's BBC Radio 2 show in September 2006, Later with Jools Holland and on The Friday Night Project on 19 January 2007.[citation needed] While he is rumoured to have a vocal range of five octaves,[4] he actually claims that it is closer to three and a half octaves.[5]
He slightly altered his given name, Mica, changing the "c" to a "k," because he was frustrated by how often people would mispronounce it

Grace Kelly
By Mika

I wanna talk to you.

The last time we talked Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears.
I promise you, it won't happen again.

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with
my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?
I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
Yes I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like
me without making
me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
Mmm Mmm
But all her looks
were too sad
Ahh Ahh
So I tried a little Freddie
Mmm Mmm
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more

Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk
out the door!

Getting angry doesn't
solve anything

How can I help ya
How can I help it
How can I help
what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink

Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?

Should I bend over?
Should I look older?
just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
Mmm Mmm
But all her looks
were too sad.
Ahh Ahh
So I tried a little Freddie
Mmm Mmm
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!

Say what you want
To satisfy yourself
Hey
But you only want what
everybody else
says you should want...
You want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!
Ooooooooooh Ooh Oooooooh
Waaa

Humphrey, we're leaving.

KACHINGAAAAA!!
