You’re used to a sound of a heart that’s breaking,
I know it don’t face you anymore.
You’re the king of the game that you played,
I know you played it a hundred times before.
You fill your bedroom up with trophies,
Then you get to kick at a closing of door,
Got all the words to keep ‘em hoping,
I know you said them a hundred times before.
But then there’s me, I false for your gold,
Then there’s me, just loved me for fun.
Baby, there’s me, no use in pretending
Oh, there’s me, a hundred and one.
I might as well stand in front of a bullet,
Close my eyes and kick the chair to the floor.
It’s like a speeding train is coming,
I know you’ve crashed it a hundred times before.
But then there’s me, I false for your gold,
Darling, there’s me, just loved me for fun.
There’s me, no, no use in pretending
Oh, there’s me, a hundred and one.
Everybody says I gotta be crazy,
That I deserve everything that I get.
But I got a feeling that makes me wanna ignore
All that you’ve done a hundred times before.
‘cause then there’s me, could I be the one?
And baby, there’s me, to make you undone.
Darling, there’s me, no use in pretending,
Oh, there’s me, a hundred and one.
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be a hundred and one,
Maybe it’s time, maybe it’s me, maybe I can be
I gotta be, I wanna be a hundred and one, yeah, baby.
Saving the best piano-led torch song for last, the haunting atmospherics of “101″ reflect Keys’ resignation that no matter how hard she tries to pretend she’s not just another notch on her playa boyfriend’s bedpost, she will always only ever be a stopgap until the unsuspecting Ms 102 comes along.
