Thomas DeCarlo Callaway (born May 30, 1974), better known by his stage name Cee Lo Green, is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer and actor. Originally came to prominence as a member of the southern hip hop group Goodie Mob, later launching a critically acclaimed solo career and forming Gnarls Barkley with DJ Danger Mouse.
Internationally, Cee Lo is best known for his hip hop work, his most popular was Gnarls Barkley's 2006 worldwide hit "Crazy", which reached number one in various singles charts worldwide, including the UK. In the United States, "Crazy" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Parent album St. Elsewhere was also a hit, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and number four on the US Billboard 200 album charts. Gnarls Barkley's second album, The Odd Couple (2008), was less successful and missed the top ten in both the UK and U.S., where it charted at number 12 in the U.S. and 18 in the UK.
In 2010, Cee Lo took a break from recording with Gnarls Barkley and released the single "F**k You!" on August 19 as a solo recording artist. The song was an instant hit, with the radio-edit version "Forget You" reaching the top spot in the UK and the Netherlands and charted at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The parent album, The Lady Killer (2010) saw similar success, peaking within the top five of the UK Albums Chart and debuting within the top ten on the Billboard 200 album charts, and received a Gold certification from the BPI in the UK shortly after its release. His second single "It's OK" was a hit in Europe and the third single, "Bright Lights Bigger City" has also seen similar charting success. Cee Lo is also currently a vocal coach on the NBC reality talent show The Voice with Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton.
Cee-lo is a gambling game played with three six-sided dice. There is not one standard set of rules, but there are some constants that hold true to all sets of rules. The name comes from the Chinese Sì-Wŭ-Liù (四五六), meaning "four-five-six". In America it is also called "See-Low," "Four-Five-Six," "The Three Dice Game," "Chinchirorin," and by several alternative spellings, as well as simply "Dice." In China it is also called "Sānliù Bàozi" (三六豹子), or "three-six dice".
The constants include the number of dice used, which is always three. All rules describe certain winning combinations that can be rolled, and 4-5-6 is always treated as a winning combination for the first player who rolls it (though in some variants without a banker, it may be possible for several players to make a "winning combination," requiring a second shootout). Besides the winning combinations, all Cee-lo rules include certain rolls that establish a "point," and there are situations where two or more players will roll and compare their points to determine a winner. If for any reason the dice were to leave the playing area (ex: rolling off of the table and hitting the floor) the player would be deemed an automatic loss.
Lo is a town in Lo-Reninge, a municipality of Belgium. It is notable as the location of Caesarsboom, an ancient European Yew designated a national monument of Belgium.

[Cee-Lo Green]
Well hello there!
My name is... not important
And I'm often asked, what do I do for a living?
And I answer, I do what I want
Spontaniety is, the spice of life
And I've indulged quite a bit
But, I'm not above the law
And I'm certainly not lawless
But when it comes to ladies...
I have a license, to kill
[instrumental for 38 seconds followed by gunshot]
Got her! (ohhh)
Baby...
Where's the road taking us
And maybe that's why they call it making love
And darling I will do my best
I'm falling at the feet of your highness
Dont need to ask the answers always yes
Well the least I can do is try
I want you to think your satisfied
Oh let me satisfy you
The least I can do is try
I want you to think your satisfied
Oh let me satisfy you
And baby (baby)
Baby just wait and see
And maybe (maybe)
It just takes a little faith in me
A friend of mine followed my lead
He wanted to make sure that I succeed
A little encouragement is all I'll need
Well the least I can do is try
I want you to think your satisfied
Oh let me satisfy you
The least I can do is try
I want you to think your satisfied
Oh let me satisfy you
Ooh I wanna satisfy you
You, you, youuuu
I wanna satisfy you
You, youuuuu
i wanna satisfy you youu youuuuuu.....
Ooh...
Well the least I can do is try
I want you to think your satisfied
Oh let me satisfy you (let me satisfy you)
The least I can do is try (least I could do is try)
I want you to think your satisfied
Oh let me satisfy you
(let me satisfy you)
I gotta satisfy you
I wanna satisfy you baby
Ooh darling
Let me satisfy you
Well the least I can do is try
I want you to think your satisfied
Oh let me satisfy you (let me satisfy you)

Hey Hey Hey Hey...
I want you (x2)
Hey, I love the night life
Yes I do it's so much fun
And before you know it
Ah here comes the sun
Sweetheart it's been real, but...
The thrill is gone
Silence is like a spirt
That picked my house to haunt
But I know it's there so I'm nonchalant
Yet deep inside I need what I want
(Chorus)
And I want you to run away with me and experience something new
Anything you've already done just won't do
I want you
And I want you to genuinely and sincerely want me too
You can believe in my baby
Don't be cruel
'Cause I want you
Would a trip to a remoted island ease your mind
Oh you look like a solitare every sunshine
I like her 'cause she's fun
And she's fearless
She's a friend of mine
And I'm not trying to say that you need some help
Or you can have anything you want with your bad self
I like her 'cause she's smart
But she's still sexy
She is somethin' else
(Chorus)
That's why I want you to run away with me and experience something new
Anything you've already done just won't do
I want you
And I want you to genuinely and sincerely want me too
You can believe in my baby, don't be cruel
'Cause I want you
Oooh...
Oh one world to find a lady
That happens to be three times the lady
God is good
But he took his time when he designed you baby
That's why I want you
Oh I'll even quit my job
Lovin' you, I'll make it my job
Thank you Lord, thank you lord
This is it
My god!
That's why I want you
[Cee-Lo Green]
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [4X]
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy you!
If I build a bridge, could I, come on over?
And sayyyy
You look beautiful, even from so far away
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy there!
I wish I was the winnnnnnnd that, blows your hair
Don't cryyyy
If I could, I'd walk right across the sky
[Chorus 1]
I see the woman for me
On the other side of the Grand Canyon
Could that beeeeee the woman for me
on the other side of the Grand Canyon
[Cee-Lo Green]
I'm screaming, to to the top of my lungs
No one has heard a word, I had to say
The wind, blew them awayyyyyy
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy there!
I love youuuuuuuu
And oh it's not fairrrrrr
Whyyyy, can't I flyyyyy?
Cause
[Chorus 2]
I see the woman for me
On the other side of the Grand Canyon (Grand Canyon)
I couldn't see clearly, the woman for me
on the other side of a Grand Canyon, ooooh
I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you!"
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck her, too!"
Said if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Hah, now ain't that some shit?

And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best
With a fuck you
Now look here, I'm sorry I can't afford a Ferrari

Here, Let me hold you
Don't cry baby

Don't cry baby
If this makes you cry, girl I didn't mean it
Next time I should lie, the truth is inconvenient
I bet if you'd try, you could live without me
I really don't know why, you bother to cry about me
Cry, cry, cry baby, I guess that I'm a bad guy now
Cry, cry, cry baby, just like all the other ones
Cry, cry, cry baby
I hate to see you cry, sad to say I've seen it
We should say goodbye and this time really mean it
Once some time goes by, I'm sure that you'll feel better
But if she needs to cry, then maybe I should let her
Cry, cry, cry baby, I guess that I'm a bad guy now
Cry, cry, cry baby, just like all the other ones
Cry, cry, cry baby
Help me cry away, yeah
What more can I say to you
Cry, cry, cry baby, I guess that I'm a bad guy now
Cry, cry, cry baby, just like all the other ones
Cry, cry baby, feel the wall around your heart

Verse 1
The wine is white and the lights are dim
They warned you don't go home with him
Cause he have two feet that'll dance again
(I know, but will I ever get the chance again)
I've been held in contempt for an incident
But it takes two to be intimate
So by no means was she innocent
(Well it wasn't a crime if I didn't witness it)
Hook
They said that chivalry is dead
Then why is her body in my bed
At sunrise, the morning paper's read
They found a body in my bed
Ahhh
Verse 2
Can nonchalant be obvious of course
I leaned towards her and whispered the choice is yours
Need I remind you that I'll have no remorse
(I understand)
Here's a kiss sweetheart this won't hurt a bit
I can kill it with kindness or murder it
Then I'll face the time a murderer gets
(Or get away with it)
Life
Hook
They said that chivalry is dead
Then why is her body in my bed
At sunrise, the morning paper's read
They found a body in my bed yes
