From my bowel
I could give you
Something
That I made

From my body I could show you a place God knows

"I'm Like a Bird"
Better Lyrics:
I'm like a fish, I'll only swim away.
I don't know where the shark is,
I don't know where the park is.
I don't know where the shark is,
I don't know where the park is.
Original Lyrics:
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

I don't know where my home is
I don't know where my soul is,
I don't know where my home is

Funniest Song Lyrics:

| "I'm Like A Bird"
The Funny Lyrics: I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away.
I don't know where my soul is. I don't know where my home is. Why They're Funny: 1) Let's see your wings, Nelly. (Or do you take frequent airplane trips? Is that where the "flying away" comes from?) 2) You don't know where your soul and home are?? For some reason this part has always baffled me.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"I Will Make U Cry"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: You're gonna curse your drawers and wish you weren't a boy, yeah
Why They're Nonsensical: 'Drawers' are the technical name for underwear, yet why one would curse them due to a bad relationship is beyond me.

| "Island Of Wonder"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Island of wonder, where are you going?
Nobody knows it but it is snowing Why They're Nonsensical: How can I even explain why these are nonsense? We have the case of an island that seems to be rapidly moving on its own accord [tectonic plates going mad?] and then from nowhere Nelly claims that nobody knows that it's snowing. Where? Who knows? And if nobody knows, why does she know in the first place? Someone or something must've told her.

Song Lawsuits:
"Do It"
Timberland, who helped produced the single, was sued by a Finnish Musican after the song sounds familiar to his song, Acidjazzed Evening. Janne Suni sued Timberland for plagiarism since he never gave the all clear to simple his work, with the exception of Glenn Rune Gallefoss's arrangement for the song that was never released commercially. Gallefosse was allowed to do so after speaking with Suni on which Timberland didn't do.
