Madeleine Peyroux - Instead Lyrics
Instead of feelin' bad, be glad you've got somewhere to go
Instead of feelin' sad, be happy you're not all alone
Instead of feelin' low, get high on everything that you love
Instead of wastin' time, feel good 'bout what you're dreamin' of.
Just play the game you know, eventually you'll love her good
It's silly to pretend that you have something you don't own
Just let her be your woman and you'll be her man:
Instead of feelin' broke, buck up and get yourself in the black
Instead of losin' hope, touch up the things that feel out of whack
Instead of bein' old, be young because you know you are
Instead of feelin' cold, let sunshine into your heart.
Instead of acting crazy chasin' things that make you mad
With every step you're closer to the place you need to be
It's up to you to let her love you sweetly:
Instead of feelin' bad be glad you've got someone to love
Instead of feelin' sad, be happy there's a god above
Instead of feelin' low, remember you're never on your own
Instead of feelin sad, be happy that she's there at home
She's waitin' for you by the phone
So be glad that she is all your own!
Get happy
She's waitin' for you by the telephone.
So get back home!

10 point sss!!!!! aaaaaauuuuuuu aaaaauuuuuu!!!!!!!!
I just have to accept that there’s only one hit for my ears
10 hours plz
apaixonante
Cantora intimista, não é para multidões, mas é capaz de atrair fãs incondicionais, pois não lhe falta muita bossa. Não necessita rebolar nem mostrar as pernas; apenas a voz. Está sempre acompanhada de grandes músicos, os quais deve escolher com muito cuidado

What a great song.
No lyrics? ;c
Just in time!!!!
how strange, i came home crying about an exam and played a jazz playlist so it would deafen my sobbing and this song played..
noinion
So epic
can you help me with the original title of the song? I do not find a song named Instead by Billie Holliday..?
+Adrian Despi I think it's an original
it's an original written by her.
Adrian Despi i think it's a joke guys lol
She has the old rhythm
I enjoyed Instead!!!👍
She's Billie Holiday all over again!!
agreed, she really does sound like Billie Holliday.
+Onilda Cavazos But there's something characteristic about Billie's money range that nobody else does. Her voice is smooth like BIllie's but unique in its own way.
awesome song
Lovely voice! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome song, perfect for summer. <3
FEEL GOOD SONG . GREAT FOR DRIVING
The message is so powerful, yet so simplistic to understand. A great "Don't Worry Song"
