You're insecure, Don't know what for, You're turning heads when you walk through the door, Don't need make-up, To cover up, Being the way that you are is enough, Everyone else in the room can see it, Everyone else but you, Baby you light up my world like nobody else, The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell, You don't know, You don't know you're beautiful, If only you saw what I can see, You'd understand why I want you so desperately, Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe, You don't know, You don't know you're beautiful, That's what makes you beautiful So c-come on. You got it wrong. To prove I'm right I put it in a song. I don't know why You're being shy, And turn away when I look into your eyes Everyone else in the room can see it, Everyone else but you, Baby you light up my world like nobody else, The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell, You don't know, You don't know you're beautiful, If only you saw what I can see, You'll understand why I want you so desperately, Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe, You don't know, You don't know you're beautiful, That's what makes you beautiful Baby you light up my world like nobody else, The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell, You don't know, You don't know you're beautiful, Baby you light up my world like nobody else, The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell, You don't know, You don't know you're beautiful, If only you saw what I can see, You'll understand why I want you so desperately, Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe, You don't know, You don't know you're beautiful, You don't know you're beautiful, That's what makes you beautiful

All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head This is not enough I'm in serious shit, I feel totally lost If I'm asking for help it's only because Being with you has opened my eyes Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise? I keep asking myself, wondering how I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me Nobody else so we can be free All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head This is not enough This is not enough And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed They say it's my fault but I want her so much Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain Come in over my face, wash away all the shame When they stop and stare, don't worry me 'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me I can try to pretend, I can try to forget But it's driving me mad, going out of my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head This is not enough This is not enough All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head This is not enough This is not enough All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head This is not enough This is not enough

Shake It! 03:07
I'll take you home If you don't leave me at the front door Your body's cold But girl, we're getting so warm And I was thinking of ways that I could get inside Tonight you're falling in love (Let me go now) This feeling's tearing me up (Here we go now) Now, if she does it like this Will you do it like that? Now, if she touches like this Will you touch her right back? Now, if she moves like this Will you move it like that? Come on Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Your lips tremble But your eye's are in a straight stare We're on the bed But your clothes are laying right there And I was thinking of places that I could hide Tonight you're falling in love (Let me go now) This feeling's tearing me up (Here we go now) Now, if she does it like this Will you do it like that? Now, if she touches like this Will you touch her right back? Now, if she moves like this Will you move it like that? Come on Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it I saw you dancing there I couldn't get you off my mind But I could tell, that you could tell That I was taking my time But I was thinking of ways To get you staying the night Your body's shaking Turn me on, so I can turn off the lights Now, if she does it like this Will you do it like that? Now, if she touches like this Will you touch her right back? Now, if she moves like this Will you move it like that? Come on Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it

I feel like I've been locked up tight For a century of lonely nights Waiting for someone to release me You're licking your lips And blowing kisses my way But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away Baby, baby, baby My body's saying let's go But my heart is saying no If you wanna be with me Baby there's a price to pay I'm a genie in a bottle You gotta rub me the right way If you wanna be with me I can make your wish come true You gotta make a big impression Gotta like what you do I'm a genie in a bottle baby Gotta rub me the right way honey I'm a genie in a bottle baby Come, come, come on and let me out The music's fading and the lights down low Just one more dance and then we're good to go Waiting for someone Who needs me Hormones racing at the speed of light But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight Baby, baby, baby My body's saying let's go But my heart is saying no If you wanna be with me Baby there's a price to pay I'm a genie in a bottle You gotta rub me the right way If you wanna be with me I can make your wish come true Just come and set me free baby And I'll be with you I'm a genie in a bottle baby Gotta rub me the right way honey I'm a genie in a bottle baby Come come, come on and let me out I'm a genie in a bottle baby Gotta rub me the right way honey (If you wanna be with me) I'm a genie in a bottle baby Come, come, come on and let me out My body's saying let's go But my heart is saying no If you wanna be with me Baby there's a price to pay I'm a genie in a bottle You gotta rub me the right way If you wanna be with me I can make your wish come true Just come and set me free, baby And I'll be with you If you wanna be with me Baby there's a price to pay I'm a genie in a bottle You gotta rub me the right way If you wanna be with me I can make your wish come true Just come and set me free baby And I'll be with you I'm a genie in a bottle baby Come, come, come on and let me out

Roar 03:49
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath Scared to rock the boat and make a mess So I sat quietly, agreed politely I guess that I forgot I had a choice I let you push me past the breaking point I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything You held me down, but I got up Already brushing off the dust You hear my voice, you hear that sound Like thunder gonna shake the ground You held me down, but I got up Get ready cause I’ve had enough I see it all, I see it now I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar Louder, louder than a lion Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar You’re gonna hear me roar Now I’m floating like a butterfly Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes I went from zero, to my own hero You held me down, but I got up Already brushing off the dust You hear my voice, you hear that sound Like thunder gonna shake the ground You held me down, but I got up Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough I see it all, I see it now I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar Louder, louder than a lion Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar You’re gonna hear me roar You'll hear me roar You're gonna hear me roar I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar Louder, louder than a lion Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar You’re gonna hear me roar You'll hear me roar You're gonna hear me roar

about

'Covers' is a mini-album that I decided to do for fun! It all started with the One Direction cover, which received an amazing reception that I really didn't expect (over 10,000 plays on Soundcloud!). From there on I decided to keep it up as a little experiment to see if I could fully write, perform and produce my own EP (obviously, with the original vocals), and this is the finished product!

All the instrumentals are arranged by myself, apart from the second bridge on All The Things She Said which was also arranged by Jess Sharp (Censor Thoughts). I don't own any of these songs, I've got no intention to sell them as my own. Do, however, feel free to share it with as many friends as possible. As you can imagine, I'm doing this on my own, I don't have a team or any fans behind me to promote this music. So if you like what you hear, share it on Facebook. Tweet it on Twitter. Reblog it on Tumblr, do whatever! :)
