The Lyrics
Save My Love
I need your love/To set me free/Trapped for so long/In this misery/Rescue me my love/Bring me back to life/I'd have your heart/Save me tonight.../Only you can save my love/Only you can set me free/Only you can save my heart/From the darkness around me/Only you can light the spark/Only you can make me see/Only you can light my way/I need your love in me...
Tonight
Lights out... feel the boom/Come on, let's do it 'till it's afternoon/Strobe lights - fill the room/Smoke machines and electric tunes/And then the DJ plays our favourite song/Before we know it - and before too long/Everybody's on the floor/This kind of party's what we were made for/So we're gonna live it up/And we're gonna give it up/We're gonna do it tonight/Like it's our last time/Drink a little too much/'Cause we don't give a f***!/Tonight/So we put our hands up/Another drank in my cup/And the party won't stop/'Cause it might be our last night/Just get out on the floor/Don't stand around no more/Tonight
Do Ya Think (I’m Sexy) –Fashion Remix-
Lay low - /Everybody on the floor/You know what we came for/Just to talk or dance - for sure/It's aural debauchery/Electronics get you on your knees/And the bass penetrates your body/Keeps on throbbing just to please/On and on.../The beat goes on and.../When we're making love/Do you call me honey?/Do you think I'm pretty/Mascara running?/Can I make you laugh?/Do you think I'm funny?/Do I turn you on?/Do you think I'm sexy?
Back In Time
I wanna run away - I'm ready to fly/I need to get away - to a different time/Nothing here to stay - it really drives me mad/I just wanna be with you - that's all I ask/So take me back in time.../Like the trail from a shooting star/Electricity flowing through my mind/You're my near and far.../Take me away tonight/We're running and rushing/And spinning and blushing/I can't stop I'm trusting/You'll take me somewhere
Friday Night
Let the people cry out/Holler my name/If you wanna do me yeah/You're one in the same/Don't you even think about/Playing your stupid games/I wanna hit the town tonight/'Cause it's Friday night/And the feeling's right/Done with all my shit/Just wanna hang tonight/Get your shit together/Let's get out of this door/We're gonna have a party yeah, /Give me some more/I'm talking Friday night/Don't pretend you hate it/When you really don't/I'm talking Friday night/Don't pretend you'd rather stay home/When you know you won't/You're too complicated/And you know I hate that/You don't let me have fun/You go see your friends and/You go out drinkin'/With me, we're always home alone/I'm trying to be your boyfriend/Doing everything and/You don't do shit for me/I wish I could make plans/And I could get you off your ass and/We could really have some fun
Break Sh!t
You tell me you love me/Then you play me funny/Making love mi lova/When ya want me get freaky/You know you drive me crazy/My thinking is hazy/Musta got anotha gyal/Ya seein' this weekend/You tell me I'm the only one/But then I see you sneakin' 'round/I'm sick of this - it's such bullshit/I can't ever get over it/You make me wanna break shit/I can't help it/You make me so pissed/That I cannot forget it, get it/You say that you love/Do you really love me?/When I ask ya - nothing/You avoid the issue/Don't sit and pretend /Like there's nothing wrong/If there was nothing wrong/I wouldn't write this song/I wanna break shit/I wanna shut us down/Like a Republican/'Cause I will never win/This game of love we're in/Is it Democracy/When he got control on me/Are you afraid I'll leave/And never come back here/I just wanna break all your shit/And make you never forget/Make you learn your lesson/And stop actin' like a bitch/I just wanna break all your shit/To make you never forget/Make you learn your lesson/Sometimes, life is a bitch
Before & After
You look at me like I got issues/Like I'm the one with the problem/When you couldn't be sincere about anything/Ey, am I with you?/Don't call it a comeback/I've been here for years/I'm glad you had your comeback/Let's talk this over a beer.../Wo-ah, if you wanna hate somebody/Wo-ah, 'cause you wanna date somebody/Wo-ah, yeah you really hate me 'cause/I'm hard to play/Wo-ah, did you think I give a damn?/Wo-ah, do you even know who I am?/Wo-ah, it's sad when guys are like, "aw man,/He sold out 'cause he's better" and.../Before you/There was me/And after you/There will still be me/I said some things when I was 15/But those were some stupid times/I apologized, but still you didn't forget/This song's so out of time/Don't give me all that bull crap/I'm stronger than tears/You can kiss my ass crack/And you can thank all these years/You can take the long way home, boy/I'm not giving you a ride...
Forbidden
Call out my name/It's your voice I heard/Can't be thinking/Is it right? Is it wrong?/I'm only feeling I'm sneaking/On this thing - don't know what to do/I'm falling for you head over heels - /This can't be good/I fantasize about what it'd be like/If you just belong to me/I sit in close waiting for you just to/Notice me/I've noticed you - but I don't know what to do/I know you won't love me/The way I love you.../So I won't talk about ya/Won't even think about ya/Gotta forget about ya/You're off limits/Walk around like I/Don't even know you exist/Though I know your first name/But I can't be with ya/This sucks, why does love have to/Be so lame?/I won't talk about it/Won't even think about it/Gotta forget about it/It's forbidden/I wish I wasn't so damn shy/I wish I could look you in the eyes/And you'd realize/We've got so many similarities/I love music, and fashion/And if that ain't enough then/I'll be anything you want/I'll be anything you need
Circles (You Take Me ‘Round)
You make me go, go/Up and down this roller coaster/Send me through mixed emotions/Hurts but I can't seem to shed them/Shed them/When our eyes clicked it/Was so magical but you fucked it/Up so much that I can't get if/You want to be with me or what is it?/Enough of this/Do you love me or hate me/Or not care about it at all/Mind your business/While I have to deal with it/It's a one-sided thing/Do you really not mean it/When you said it, I'm pretty/Sure that you meant it/You take me round and round/Round and round/Round and round/Circles, baby/And I'm slave to my emotion/It's killing me/But you're so worth it/When you talk to me/I get a high that I never knew/It's because of you/Round and round and round I go/Where I stop nobody knows/It's something I don't wanna feel/But I cannot help it I'm in too deep
Right Here … So Gone
You were so blind /Couldn't see/How good and beautiful /Our love could be/How we opened up doors - /All the possibilities/You let it pass/Swearing the moment lasted /Longer than it should/But you knew was good.../So we should travel back/To that moment in time/Claim what is mine/When things were fine/You and I/You and I together/Pray you could be/Here with me again please/Don't leave me alone again/Come back home/You and I together/(Right here)/We're one and the same/We both play our games/(So gone over you)/We both say we're sorry/Come back to me/(Right here)/Don't stay away/I don't think/I can take/(So gone over you)/Another day/Without you/Quit lying, quit trying/I'm dying now without you/You got me here crying/I need someone - a lifeline/To guide me, to hide me/From my pain - I'm sorry/You made me know better/I'll love you forever/Another day/Won't you come back to me/I really want you by my side/Forever...
What Can I Say?
Sometimes I think of you/When I'm all alone/I wonder what you're doing/Or if you're even home/I want to call you/But I'm too afraid/Thinking you'll ignore me/I just turn and walk away/And I think to myself/'Love never works my way'/I want to tell you/But I don't know what to say/How about 'hey/My name is/Nice to meet you/Can we be friends?/I love that shirt you got on tonight/I love the way it fits you right/How about coffee Friday night?/Someday we'll work this thing out right/Maybe someday we can get married...'/But words get in the way/Your soft skin, your soft hair/Your eyes when they blank stare/The little things are what I love/Your voice when you talk/If only these thoughts could/Come out of my mouth when I'm talking to you/But I come off shy - standoffish/Probably 'cause I'm nervous/I've never felt this way now, before/You are the one that I long and adore/I tell myself that you're too good for me/And that we could never be.../I'm making this complicated/And I feel like/I've suffocated/Baby, someday/I'll come up to you and say...
Anything For You
Draw little hearts around your name/Heart skips a beat when I see your face/Here, I have no choice/My blood turns cold when I hear your voice/You shot me down to save my love/You are a gift from above/Every little thing to me you do/Just makes me more in love with you/I'll do... anything for you/Anything for you/Anything for you/I'll be... everything for you/Everything for you/Everything for you/Made me believe in your love/Saved my soul and touched my heart/You don't even know what you did/Just by telling me you care/You shot me down to save my love/You are a gift from above/Every little thing to me you do/Just makes me more in love with you/Just hold me/And love me/Just love me
Way You Make Me Feel
Your mind, your eyes/If I could have you, you'd be mine/Your voice, your hair/I love the way you just don't care/It's the way you make me feel/The way you make me feel/You don't even know that I'm real.../Hoping to catch a glance/Waiting for you any chance/Praying for a miracle....I see you talking to her/Out the corner of my eye/She makes you smile that way/And I think that could be I/I'm so protective of you/Crazy, I know/Everything convoluted and twisted/You don't know your chance 'til you missed it/Shhh! Keep quiet in fear/That he might find out how I feel/So confused, cause I/Noticed him staring at me too
Miss You Blind
Drop top drivin' round/Fuckin' rockin' out/Lookin' fly together/It's what I think about/Emotions get me down & out/Love is so tender/'Cause I miss you/I miss you blind/I want nothing/But to make you mine/You're pretty/And you're sexy too/Drive me crazy/Like you always do.../'Bout that city life/Just want you & I/Take me to your garden/Speakers blaring loud/Mountain driving now/Get away together/Miss you blind.../I miss you blind...
