"Naive" lyrics by The Kooks
Although you could have done moreOh you're so naive yet so
How could this been done
By such a smiling sweetheart.
Ohh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly world
Something so beautiful.
Ohh that every time I look inside
I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be...
Well, she's still out to get me.
And I know, she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be...
She's still out to get me.
I may say it was your fault
Because i know you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart.
Ohh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly world
Something so beautiful.
That every time I look inside
I know, she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be...
Well, she's still out to get me.
And I know, she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be...
She's still out to get me.
So how could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart
You're so naive yet so
You're such an ugly thing
For someone so beautiful
That every time you're on his side
I know, she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be...
Well, she's still out to get me.
And I know, she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be...
She's still out to get me.
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to this kite
Just don't let me down

"She Moves In Her Own Way" lyrics by The Kooks
I was hoping somedayYou'd be on your way to better things
It's not about your makeup
Or how you try to shape up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
So now you pour your heart out
You're telling me you're far out
You're not about to lie down for your cause
But you don't pull my strings
'Cos I'm a better man
Moving on to better things
Well uh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
Well uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day
And at the show on Tuesday
She was in her mindset
Tempered furs and spangled boots
Looks are deceiving
Make me believe it
And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
Yeah
So wont you go far
Tell me you're a keeper
Not about to lie down for your cause
And you don't pull my strings
'Cos I'm a better man
Moving on to better things
Well oh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
Well oh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day
Yes our winter storm will never make it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs
Yes our winter storm will never make it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs
But uh oh, I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show just to hear about my day
But uh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day

"Sofa Song" lyrics by The Kooks
I just realized I don't like youMe and my girl
Are going out for some air
And I will do my best
Just to get under her dress
And catch you out if I can
On the other side of my sofa
Won't you come on over
At the side of my sofa
Oh won't you come on over
The city heated it up
It got blurry cause I'd had enough
And he tried to take your soul
But didn't realize you keep it in a different hole
Won't you come on over
At the side of my sofa
Oh won't you come on over
So here he comes, a man with
A loaded gun, I don't know if he
Wants my soul or my
Cash flow, I s'pose I don't know
So here he comes, a man with a
A loaded gun I don't know if he
Wants my girl's heart or her pearls
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
