lyrics

I can sing backup in anybody's band
and I'll sing it so low 'cause I can do it like a man
then I'll sing it so high 'cause I think it might impress you
but I won't do it loud 'cause I'll never ever stress you
I can bend my body I can twist it like a string of pearls
bend over backwards, I can do it, I'm a yoga girl
back so strong make you call me Aunt Sarah
call me Jessie call me Mary 'cause the name don't matter

I need you to love me
I need your love
Can I make you can I make you love me
I need your love
That's all I'm asking

I can take humiliation if you serve it in a bowl
I can tear it into pieces or just take it down whole
I can grill it like a steak with some hot sauce on it
and I won't share a piece 'til you tell me that you want it
I can paint my body all in gold 'til it glitter
I can be that little cutie you'd be strutting to be with her
and I'd look so good they'd be like "who's that chick?"
but if you don't want to see it I can put away my guitar

I need you to love me
I need your love
Can I make you can I make you love me
I need your love
That's all I'm asking for

about

Kosi image

Kosi New York, New York

She's more than just a drama queen. She's got piercing eyes and a voice that's larger than her body. But, small as she is, she won't fit in a box. She switches styles more quickly than you can follow. First she's jazz, then she's blues, then she's rock, but always powerful. You definitely want to hear this girl sing... if you can handle it. ... more
