(feat. Flo Rida)

[Flo Rida]
Flo Rida
Alexandra girl, i know what you like.

[Alexandra]
Some people call them players but I'm far from terrified
Somehow I'm drawn to danger and have been all my life
It feels my hearts divided, half way 'tween wrong and right
I know I'm playing with fire but I don't know why

[Chorus]
Yeah, The bad boys are always catching my eye,
I said, The mad boys are always spinning my mind,
Even though I know they're no good for me it's the risk I take for the chemistry,
With the bad boys always catching my eye

Ooooah

[Alexandra]
Some think it's complicated
...
I don't need your explanation, there's something more that what you see here
My heart still feels divided half way 'tween wrong and right
I know I'm playing with fire but I don't know why

[Chorus]
Yeah, The bad boys are always catching my eye,
I said, The mad boys are always spinning my mind,
Even though I know they're no good for me it's the risk I take for the chemistry,
With the bad boys always catching my eye

[Flo Rida]

[Chorus]
Yeah, The bad boys are always catching my eye,
I said, The mad boys are always spinning my mind,
Even though I know they're no good for me it's the risk I take for the chemistry,
With the bad boys always catching my eye
Yeah, The bad boys are always spinning my mind
With the bad boys are always catching my eye

Bad boys
Bad boys

This beat is crazy
This club is amazing
This is where i'm gonna be
On the floor don't worry me

And this guy is crazy
His frame amazing
I got my scent all over him
As we dance erotically

His body interlocks with mine
Sends chills all up and down my spine
And i pull him close and whipser in his ear

(I said)What will it be for you and me?
Is it good night or is it good morning?
(Is it good night or is it good morning? Is it good night or is it good morning?)
What will it be for you and me?
Is it good night or is it good morning?
(Is it good night or is it good morning? Is it good night or is it good morning?)

[Ne-Yo]
I feel so crazy
She feels amazing
Ooh the way she's touching me
I can't imagine what i would be

Her body interlocked with mine
Seens chills all up and done her spine
She pulls me close and whispers in my ear

(She said)
[Alexandra]
What will it be for you and me?
Is it good night or is it good morning?
(Is it good night or is it good morning? Is it good night or is it good morning?)
What will it be for you and me?
Is it good night or is it good morning?
(Is it good night or is it good morning? Is it good night or is it good morning?)

Everything in the room started spinning
Got his voice in my head asking is this the ending?
Or are we just beginning this little escapade?

[Ne-yo]
She was turning me on how she work in the middle
But there's something about her that scared me a little
She looked me in my eyes and all she had to say

[Alexandra]
This beat is crazy
This beat is crazy
This beat is crazy
This beat is crazy

What will it be for you and me?
Is it good night or is it good morning?
(Is it good night or is it good morning? Is it good night or is it good morning?)
What will it be for you and me?
Is it good night or is it good morning?
(Is it good night or is it good morning? Is it good night or is it good morning?)

What will it be for you and me?
Is it good night or is it good morning?
(Is it good night or is it good morning? Is it good night or is it good morning?)
What will it be for you and me?
Is it good night or is it good morning?
(Is it good night or is it good morning? Is it good night or is it good morning?)

[Ne-Yo]
What will it be for you and me?
Is it good night or is it good morning?
[Alexandra]
Is it good night or is it good morning?

This beat is crazy

You lift me up
and knock me down
I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around
I speak my heart
but don't know why
cause you don't never really say what's on you mind

It's like
I'm walking on broken glass
I wanna know but I don't wanna ask

So say you love me
or say you need me
Don't let the silence
do the talking
Just say you want me
or you don't need me
Don't let the silence
do the talking

It's killing me
(love in silence)
It's killing me
(love in silence)
It's killing me
(love in silence)

You let me in
But then sometimes
your empty eyes just make me feel so cold inside
when I'm with you
It's like rolling dice
Don't know where or how you're gonna make me cry

So say you love me
or say you need me
Don't let the silence
do the talking
Just say you want me
or you don't need me
Don't let the silence
do the talking

It's killing me
(love in silence)
It's killing me, yeah
(love in silence)
Wooooo
(love in silence)

It's like
I'm (I'm) walking on (walking on) broken glass
I wanna know but I don't wanna ask

'Cause once you say it
you can't take it back
And this the end and please just fake it fast

so say you love me
or say you need me
don't let the silence (ooohhhh)
do the talking
just say you want me (say you want me)
or you don't need me (but you don't want me)
don't let the silence
do the talking

Wooooooh
(love in silence)

You lift me up
and knock me down
I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around

. . .


Ah-huh, Ooooh no.

I see everbody around
But it feels like we're in private
I know you want me so bad
Cuz you just can't seem to hide it

Oooh

The lights are moving to the rhythm of the music
When we're together
Everything just comes together, baby
So inspired of the moment we can't lose it
I hope you're ready

As long as i see the strobe lights
I'm dancin' all night long
When we're together baby
I'm feelin' alright
You've got me all night long

So tell the DJ play it
All night all night (all night long)
All night all night (all night long)
All night night night night
So tell the DJ play it
All night all night (all night long)
All night all night (all night long)
All night night night night
So tell the DJ play it

Tonight the admission is free
Now we're shuttin' the club down, Oooh
We're movin out on the streets
All we got left is love now.

Feel my troubles fadin' to the rhythm of your heartbeart
When we're together
Everything just comes together, baby
Every motion calls your name baby once you start me
And I hope you're ready

As long as i see the strobe lights
I'm dancin' all night long
When we're together baby
I'm feelin' alright
You've got me all night long

So tell the DJ play it

All night all night (all night long)
All night night night night
So tell the DJ play it

All night all night (all night long)
All night night night night
So tell the DJ play it

And make me forget all my worries
Help me put the past behind, ooh
All around us this world's in a hurry
While we stand still in time, ooh

The lights are moving to the rhythm of the music
When we're together
Everything just comes together, baby
So inspired by the moment we can't lose it
And I hope you're ready

As long as i see the strobe lights
I'm dancin' all night long
When we're together baby
I'm feelin' alright
You've got me all night long

So tell the DJ play it
All night all night (all night long)
All night all night (all night long)
All night night night night
So tell the DJ play it

It's only you and me together
And this feelings so strong
Wish i could stay like this forever
All night long, All night long, All night long
Yeah...

Baby i'm loving your lips,
cuz you know how to use them
I wanna fall in your eyes but there's nothing behind them
Look too good to eat, I just can't believe we can't talk about nothin
You so fire hot but that's all you got, you're just all about one thing
So Bye Bye Baby
Could've had it
Should've had it
Would've had it
If you were a little less Dumb

Could've had it
Should've had it
Would've had it
If you were a little less
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb......
Bye Bye Baby
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb......
Bye Bye Baby

You spend more time on look than the rest of my girl friends
I keep trying to go deep but you don't have a deep end
There's just nothing there you play with your hair,
Stuck in front of that mirror
I need something more, more than a Ken doll,
I can't make it more clearer
So Bye Bye Baby

Could've had it
Should've had it
Would've had it
If you were a little less Dumb

Could've had it
Should've had it
Would've had it
If you were a little less
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb....
Bye Bye Baby
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb....
Bye Bye Baby

For such a pretty face, boy your such a waste

Would've had it
If you were a little less Dumb

Could've had it

Would've had it
If you were a little less Dumb

If you walk with your head down
You can count every step you take
I know every place Ive been now
I can count every mistake
Ive been hurt so many times before
Almost forgotten how to dream
All that I was running from
Is all i need to save me

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I cant let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

You can never see it coming Theres always that one you cant count out
who keeps on believing nothings gonna stop me now I've been hurt so many times before
almost forgotten how to dream
all that I was running from is all i need to save me

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I cant let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

Im not running anymore
Coz now theres nothing left to hold me down
Some things are worth fighting for
I see it all
Its waiting for me now

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I cant let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I cant let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome
I have overcome

. . .


You said you'd never break my heart
Hey
And we'll never be a-part
So seeing you after so long
Got me spinning round,round,round,round
You said we'd always be together
And to me you were so precious
So after you what happens now?
You got me feeling down,down,down,down

So i think i gotta go
Cause seeing you is so confusing
And i might end up losing again
So i'm thinking thinking

I think i gotta go
Before i start to catch a feeling
And you might end up like you left me once before
My heart can't take no more
So i think i gotta go

Seeing you after so long mmm
Feels so strange cause the feelings ain't gone
Like a rollercoaster ride
Got me spinning round,round,round,round

So i think i gotta go
Cause seeing you is so confusing
And i might end up losing again
So i'm thinking thinking

I think i gotta go
Before i start to catch a feeling
And you might end up like you left me once before
My heart can't take no more
So i think i gotta go

You see the damage has been done
And now i know you're not the one
Cause my heart just wants to run and run and run and run

So i think i gotta go
Before i start to catch a feeling
And you might end up leaving again
So i'm thinking thinking

So i think i gotta go
Cause seeing you is so confusing
And i might end up losing again
So i'm thinking thinking

I think i gotta go
Before i start to catch a feeling
And you might end up like you left me once before
My heart can't take no more
So i think i gotta go

. . .


Oooohhh

You know that I would follow you
To the end of the Earth
And maybe I was kinda bold
You shouldn't know my words

I was waiting for the time to remind you
You were in love
What I gave was so incredible
But it was never enough

You took my love
And broke my heart
You took my smile
And tore it apart
You left me crying
Down on the floor
The funny thing is
I still want more
If only you love me like I wanted you to
But you trick me into loving you
You tore me apart
You broke my heart

You charm me with your little ways
You knew the buttons of praise
And you said I was your everything
But boy you couldn't care less
And you said we'd be together forever
Now look what you've done

What I gave was so incredible
But it was never enough

You took my love
And broke my heart
You took my smile
And tore it apart
You left me crying
Down on the floor
The funny thing is
I still want more
If only you love me like I wanted you to
But you trick me into loving you
You tore me apart
You broke my heart

All that I needed
was someone to hold me
And all that I wanted
was someone to show me
just what it is to be loved
And I hoped that someone was you

Oohhhh

You took my love
And broke my heart
You took my smile
And tore it apart
You left me crying
Down on the floor
The funny thing is
I still want more
If only you love me like I wanted you to
But you trick me into loving you
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
You tore me apart
you broke my heart
You broke my heart

I went to the doctor to open up my heart
Got my symptoms all mixed up
He didn't know where to start
Ain't no doctor in this world
that can keep a broken heart from falling apart

'Cause they don't know
Oh, they don't know

I went to my mother to show me how to cry
She said "Baby let me shed your tears, I'll make the sacrifice"
But ain't no crying in this world's gonna take the place of mine

'Cause they don't know
They don't know

Some questions have answers
and others just lead you on
Some answers don't answer enough
But I know
The answer is love

But they don't know
Oh, they don't know

I went to my brother to help me understand
Asked him why they're walking by
Don't seem to give a damn
Don't they see the love they pair's walking by empty-handed

'Cause they don't know
They don't know

I went to my father to get some prayer for me
He said I hold my head up high 'cause there's something there for me
Crying but I'm smiling through
'cause suddenly I see

What they don't know
They don't know that

Sometimes,

Some questions have answers
and others just lead you on
Some answers don't answer enough
But I know
The answer is love

But they don't know
Oh, they don't know...

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Maybe I have been here before, I know this room; I have walked this floor, I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch, love is not a victory march, it's a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

There was a time you let me know whats really going on below, but now you never show it to me, do you? (and)
Remember when I moved in you; the holy dark was moving too, and every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And its not a cry you can hear at night, its not somebody who's seen the light, its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu--jah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu---u---jah
