Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me Lyrics

Verse 1:

Ohh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Ohh easily, the climax of the perfect lie.
Ohh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Ohh easily, smile worth a hundred lies.

If there’s lessons to be learned, I’d rather get my jamming words in first so, tell you something that I’ve found, that the worlds a better place when it’s upside down boy.

If there’s lessons to be learned, I’d rather get my jamming words in first so, when your playing with desire, don’t come running to my place when it burns like fire boy.

Chorus:

Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh

Verse 2:
Blue, blue, blue, waves they crash as time goes by, so hard to catch. Too, too smooth, ain’t all that, why don’t you ride on my side of the tracks.

If there’s lessons to be learned, I’d rather get my jamming words in first so, when your playing with desire, don’t come running to my place when it burns like fire boy.

Chorus:
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
(fading out)
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh

The repetitive lyrics has that rare quality to stimulate the listener to want to sing along or listen to the song over & over.

o.k. thanks admin

tj i don’t think it’s to do with an american accent so much, it’s a whole vocal style, which would have been chosen as appropriate to the song (written by a british song-writing company) and to her voice - trained at the Ciccone Academy of Performing Arts (comment from their website: “We concentrate on developing the voice. We make sure that the voice is well connected from ‘chest to head’ without a break using the revolutionary technique taught at the Ciccone Academy” http://www.cicconeacademy.com.au
they train something called “speech level singing”
i didn’t identify the voca style in “sweet about me” as specifically american, but if it is, i’m happy enough for a talented singer to make use of styles from around the world & not only her home country
but i guess if you don’t like the song you just don’t like it.
me i love it, but not the video

Message for Valuablelesson. Get a life how sad is it that you feel the need to say her nose is big. It’s so sad that we have to share a world with people like you!! Song is awsome…………….

You’ve forgotten

“If there’s lessons to be learned, I’d rather get my jamming words in first so, tell you something that I’ve found, that the worlds a better place when it’s upside down boy.”

After Verse 2:
Blue, blue, blue, waves they crash as time goes by, so hard to catch. Too, too smooth, ain’t all that, why don’t you ride on my side of the tracks.

Is where it should go and before
If there’s lessons to be learned, I’d rather get my jamming words in first so, when your playing with desire, don’t come running to my place when it burns like fire boy.

To be honest i don’t care what other people think. I think that she could be as good as Kylie, purly because she has never had anything about her name.
