[Verse 1]
Hot motel
Stuffy inside
I know well
These eleven walls
Hot black tar
I tan my legs
I rest my heart
And dream of the city

[Verse 2]
Magazine
And diet coke
I'm not a joke
This is me
Damaged leg
Heavy cart
Plastic cups
Linen mart

[Verse 3]
Rock garden
Where I used to play
People stare
Part of their day
Coffee break
Lunch at noon
Pumpernickel steak
Green and orange room

[Verse 4]
Done my list (done my list)
Make my way (make my way)
To help my mother (help my mother)
End her day (end her day)
Fresh cut grass (fresh cut grass)
Parking lot (parking lot)
We roll on out (roll on out)
We got a lot (got a lot)

[Verse 5]
We're on our way (on our way)
Roll the window down (window down)
And scream out loud (scream out loud)
Oh we're tired now

[Verse 6]
Take it home (take it hoe)
Step off the way (on my way)
To the bakery (bakery)
For some fruit and cake (fruit and cake)
And home I lay (home I lay)
After a shower clean (shower clean)
I hit my head (hit my head)
And I dream

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter. The songstress is well-known for hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “Promiscuous”.

She began her career in 1996 contributing vocals to Plains of Fascination’s “Walkin' 4 The Streets” and forming Nelstar. After leaving the group, Furtado released her debut single “Party’s Just Begun (Again)”.

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
