That’s What I SaidNorah Jones

I'm going down south
Won't be misquoted in my own bed
That's what I said, that's what I said
You missed the loophole in my head
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
If a nice girl sings about heart attacks
Will people listen or turn their backs?
Cause sugar coating is bitter sweet
Do people just want to move their feet?
Puffy clouds or puffy eyes
Don't know which will make me wise
Ridiculously analyzed
And they move slow, that's no surprise
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
Now everyday you pack a bow
Think about the words you know
Drag good people into holes
Your expertise runs very low
Critically you ridicule
One who'd kick your ass in pool
But technically you're just a tool
You'd point out things like your own school
That's what I said, that's what I said
Here we go, here we go, here we go right now
Have a daisy, have a rose
You dignifiedly pick your nose
Then wipe it on the girls whose pose
You'd like to hose and expose
Long and lazy, tough and lean
They call you out as the king of mean
You bite the hand of the too serene
I'll bet the king of mean's no sex machine
Typically you're topical
You like the dance of push and pull
You think that everyone's a fool
But you're bananas and a bully
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
If you don't care 'bout what I said
You don't care 'bout what's in my head
You think I might as well be dead
Then how'd we end up back in bed

Norah Jones

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
