Cilmi, Gabriella - The Sting Lyrics






All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

Lend some sugar to your neighbor
Do a girl a favor
I might return it later
I'm salt
It's really not my fault
My heart's on my t-shirt
Maybe you could keep it

If the devil were a woman
I wouldn't have to run away
If the devil were a woman
Maybe she'd understand me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

One, open your heart fly [?]
Two, never retreat see
Three, go miss a long time
Four, I will be dreaming

I, I just wanted something sweet
And nothing in my kitchen
So I had to look for something
So I took the road less traveled in
A world so appetizing
I had to lick the icing

If the devil were a woman
I wouldn't have to run away
If the devil were a woman
Maybe she'd understand me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

Why do good things happen to bad bad people
Why do bad things happen to good good people
Why do good things happen to bad bad people
Why do bad things happen to good good people

If the devil were a woman
I wouldn't have to run away
If the devil were a woman
Maybe she'd understand me

If the devil were a woman
I wouldn't have to run away
If the devil were a woman
Maybe she'd understand me
Maybe she'd understand me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still, bee's still following me
All of my life
I've been running, I've been running

The bee's still following me
(All of my life
I've been running)
And the bee's still following me
And the bee's still, the bee's still following me

  11. J.... J....

    NO SONG SINCE 2013

  12. B.... C....

    From the comments, it seems most people know her from her album, "Ten". However, from someone who listened to "Lessons to be Learned", the album before "Ten", it's not like she "improved" from "Ten". Actually, form what I've read, she was really upset about what a sellout that album was. She basically went back to something like her earlier sound, with some changes for the better. I listened to her music in high school, and I'm hooked on her music once again!

  13. M.... D....

    her late songs are so much better than her old ones. Gabriella has grown up

  14. S.... N....

    I began to listen to Gabriella after I heard "Hearts don't lie" and "Save the lies". Her musical style changed a bit since then but I loved the new album "The Sting" too.
    I wish you success, Gabriella. You are very talented and the whole world should know it.

    P.S. I think you rocked the short hair :)

  15. J.... A....

    excelente canción

  16. A.... B....

    'The Sting' as an album is a nice change from 'Ten'. Sounds like music she **wants** to make.

  17. B.... D....

    Gabriella I sincerely wish you well. You are learning a lot and I for one are happy to see you've correctly identified what's right and wrong in life. The train you were on previously was not going to lead you anywhere truly meaningful. The train you're on now while harder, will be more meaningful. There's something about you that just makes me root for you, I don't know what it is, I wish I could put it into words better. You definitely relate better to people in the real world,  you're a real person. God bless you, ....I really don't know why I root for you so much, I usually wouldn't care less about pop stars so to speak, but something about you matters, I think the direction you are going is what matters. You've had so many voices telling you to go here or go there, its hard to walk your own path, but its important to do so, and it takes courage. God bless you.

  18. d.... s....

    There must be albums that I don't know about because every song that I listened to and research that I have done on Gabriella (chil-me) I give her nothing but respect give credit where credit is due. Shes very knowledgeable and knows her history, has worked very hard to be where she is at now. I felt the sting Great song...Word

  19. A.... L....

    "If the Devil were a women maybe she'd understand me" Psycho but nice ;) 

  20. A.... S....

    I LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. M.... R....

    so sexy

  22. R.... J....

    she seems ok, i dont see any bees! ;)

  23. E.... D....

    Gabriella sei bella da morire!!!!

  24. E.... D....

    The straps on her dress have a mind of their own.

  25. T.... ....

    Better than the previous album, but lessons to be learned is her best

  26. R.... B....

    I don't think people give her enough credit, she lives next door to me and I hear her practicing all the time and she's great, she really is! Her voice is so unique and really powerful as well. Her image changed so dramatically because her old label tried to sex her up and now she's back to doing her own thing, writing her own songs, trying things out. She became famous at 16, she's only 22 now -everyone changes during those years, she's growing as an artist and I think she's a lot better than most of the commercial crap out there

    R.... B....

    I completly agree. I didnt know that they forced her to change so drastically...On a Mission was a such failure. This song somehow proves that she is getting back on track where she should be musically.

    R.... B....

    Ruby Boorer you've got gabriella cilmi as a neighbour great! she's a brilliant singer ive been a fan of hers for years since sweet about me in 2008 id love to meet this aussie babe just to tell her how great an artist i think she is you must live in a decent area in london then i know gabriella moved to london with her family when she was 15 im hoping to see her in concert some time soon with all kings and queens the band she formed with her brother having a celebrity living next door must be great

    R.... G....

    She's gorgeous. Hairstyles don't change pretty features. You just have a very limited idea of what a woman should look like.

    R.... G....

  48. P.... D....

  57. A.... C....

    Mesmerizing! I love it!

  58. D.... F....

    Hope this gets played lots on Radio 2, I'd say they were the real pushers of Sweet About Me and this song is so much catchier!

  60. y.... ....

  61. v.... t....

  63. W.... S....

    LOVE YOU in the Video, love the song very much too... !

  64. O.... M....

    I LOVE YOU GABRIELLA <3 < SHE'S MY FRIEND! :D JEALOUS MUCH?

  65. M.... ....

    Is it just me, or does she kinda sound like Macy Gray on this track? I'm still a big fan though.

  66. r.... d....

    ES DE LA MISMA GENERACION DE DUFFY, ADELE, AMY WINEHOUSE, JOSS STONE Y PIXIE LOTT QUE CAMBIARON EL SOUL DE LA ULTIMA DECADA.

  67. A.... S....

    I was expecting something better than "Sweeter In History", which is a masterpiece... frustrated.

  68. B.... F....

    This is pretty amazing!! Can't wait for the whole album.

  69. T.... B....

    Superhot omg is amazing and LMCUWT is SOMETHING ELLLSEEE so good so good

  70. G.... ....

    Sounds pretty good, obviously not wrote to be a chart hit or it'd have a verse from flo rida... but it's catchy. Hopefully the new album is more lessons and less 10. Not that 10 was bad but lessons was so so good!

  71. I.... ....

    TEN being bad or not is actually liking it or not. I know people who enjoy the album and yeah sure it has some cool tracks and ideas on it, but the same old electronic riffs and those lyrics.. just not for me. Overall, the album is pretty damn weak. Maybe it was the label´s fault, but I remember how excited Cilmi was in her facebook posts and tweets with TEN. And The Sting, I think it could have been produced better. The song is not bad, I enjoyed the acoustic live version.

  72. D.... B....

    I don't know what you're all fussing about. It's been years since I've been her fan. This still sounds like Gabriella Cilmi to me.

  73. J.... ....

    Ten was far from bad. Superhot, Boys, On A Mission, Robots, LOVE ME COS YOU WANT TO(!!!), & Defender were all golden.

    The Sting doesn't sound unfinished at all. Sounds different because it's the music SHE wants to make, not some stupid label.

  74. I.... ....

    As much of a fan that I am and Lessons to be learned being one of my all time favorites, I have to say that this song sounds unfinished and the vocal arrangements sound like crap. The live acoustic version of this sounded much better and it was recorded with a simple camera. Not a fan of Sweeter in history either.. it´s sad that the last album was already so bad, I really had my hopes up with this one. But, in the end, it´s her music, she can do whatever she wants.

    I.... ....

    "Unfinished" said the man who obviously doesn't understand drum grooves...

  75. I.... ....

    after so long? She released an album in 2010, one video a year ago and another video a few months ago.

  76. r.... d....

    WOWWWW REGRESA OTRA DE LA CAMADA DE ADELE Y AMY, EXCELENTE SINGLE PARA EL REGRESO DE OTRO NUEVO TALENTO DEL SOUL
