LYRICS BY SU CHARLES AKA SUCH - BMI (C) 2012 SUCH, ARC SAI PUBLISHING, LLC ROBBED Woke up this morning feeling on cloud nine Til I saw that you left in the middle of the night You told me you wanted to be my man But to you this was just a one night stand How could I be so blind as not to see straight through your lies I guess I should get up and move on but this just feels so wrong Cause I was feeling you Thought you were feeling me too Could swear we had a thing that was more than a fling But all you had in mind was to use cheap pickup lines To rob me blind of my love and affection and leave nothing behind I picked up the phone and dialed your number Even though I knew you wouldn't answer I'm really not trying to change your mind Just wanted to say you're the worst kind of swine I bet you think I'll stay sad and blue But I'll get over you Don't you worry cause what goes around comes around eventually Cause I was feeling you Thought you were feeling me too Could swear we had a thing that was more than a fling But all you had in mind was to use cheap pickup lines To rob me blind of my love and affection and leave nothing behind I can't believe it To think that I would Fall for your mess If you've ever been wronged by a man say "oh oh oh" Cause I was feeling you Thought you were feeling me too Could swear we had a thing that was more than a fling But all you had in mind was to use cheap pickup lines To rob me blind of my love and affection and leave nothing behind (x2)

MESMERIZED LYRICS BY SU CHARLES AKA SUCH - BMI (C) 2012 SUCH, ARC SAI PUBLISHING, LLC I like you You're so cool You're so fly I'm always trying to catch your eye You give me butterflies I can't deny I wanna be there right by your side You enter a room And everyone's aware that you're there You're so unassuming But yet you exude quiet confidence You know who you are You're my own superstar Near or far I've gotta be right where you are I really dig your style The way you dress, the way you walk, the way you talk You're so full of life And to top it all you're sharp as a tack I wanna get to know you But How do I tell you without looking like a fool that I'm so into you (How is it possible, that you're so beautiful) You're one of a kind Like a rare type of wine (This isn't typical But it feels so natural) Let's go on a date and test the hands of fate

LYRICS BY SUCH, BMI SONGWRITER PERFORMED BY SUCH She's 15 and knocked up by a good for nothing 20 year old guy with no job He's gonna get locked up Leaving her to raise the kid all alone No life isn't over but it just got a lot harder For such a young flower to not quickly wither How will things get any better when her own mother and father say abortion is the answer? When did kids stop being kids When did they start seeing things that made them lose their innocence When did they start Being in places they shouldn't be doing things they shouldn't do They should be singing with me La La La La La He's a 12 yr old drug mule He knows this game is deadly but it's his only tool Against the street corner debt collector He's young but he's his family's only protector Mom is working three jobs; still cant make ends meet She's stressed out; gets high seven days a week he's trapped, surrounded lonely, In this tunnel with no end in sight Wondering when he'll see the light When did kids stop being kids When did they start seeing things that made them lose their innocence When did they start Being in places they shouldn't be doing things they shouldn't do They should be singing with me La La La La La Children are the hope of this nation and we may be their only salvation Books should be their education instead of them being taught by the Television To join blue or red assassin creeds, become creatures of instinct Fightin' on the street, grand auto thieves Their lives lived in secret 'til they wash up dead on Jersey's shore, never knowing they were worth much more When did kids stop being kids When did they start seeing things that made them lose their innocence When did they start Being in places they shouldn't be doing things they shouldn't do

about

Stretch marks. My first album. I decided to name it Stretch Marks because the thing is, few things in life are sexy or pretty… Life is beautiful, not pretty. What makes it worth living are the heartaches, the triumphs, the losses, the wins. Those things that stretch us, push us beyond our limits, spark the fire in us to want to be better, stronger, wiser, to spread our wings and fly.. That’s what makes life… well, life.

In the two years that this album chronicles, I was stretched, torn apart, put together again in more ways than I care to admit… I love it because it’s real, it’s my life and all the painful growth I’ve experienced. And the only way I could deal with it all was to put it in song. Not everything in here is PC, buttery, flowery, but everything is real: real love, friendship, hurt, loss, frustrations. I hope that through “Stretch Marks” you can discover that there is beauty in imperfection. And learn to embrace it. As I have… :)
