Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh [4x]

[Verse 1]
Broken promises
My heart you stole
Lies you told
Got the best of me
Digging in my heart of gold
Used to look at you
And see the possibilities
I see you for who you are
Boy you've disappointed me

[Hook]
I thought you gave me love
Was never near enough
Soon enough time reveals
The weight of what is real
Know all I need to know
Boy see you got to go
What have you given me ?
But lies lies

[Chorus]
Go head go on and get up out of here
Go head baby
You knew you was wrong
You knew all along
Must be crazy
If you think I'm gone fall for this anymore

Everybody say no no no no no
Everybody say no no no no no

[Verse 2]
Used to believe in every word you said
Clouds my head
Leaving me here to drown
Hopes and dreams left for dead
You point your finger
Trying to justify your mistakes
A change is goin to be made
So you best be on your way

[Hook]

[Chorus]

No need to apologize
Don't try to make it right
I know
I should known betta
When you took hold
I was sold
Using fear to control
Now it unfolds
Let me tell you right now
What I'm gonna do
Imade up my mind
Its time and I'm through with you
Nothing you can say or can do
Can make me change me mind

[Chorus]

. . .



Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
Slave to humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oooohh

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

. . .


I Just Want Chu Close
Where You Can Stay Forever
You Can Be Sure
That It Will Only Get Better

[Hook:]
You And Me Together Through The Days And Nights
I Dont Worry Cause
Everything's Gonna Be Alright
People Keep Talking
They Can Say What They Like
But All I Know Is That Everything's Gonna Be Alright

[Chorus:]
No One
No One
No One
Can Get In The Way Of What I'm Feelin'
No One
No One
No One
Can Get In The Way Of What I Feel For You
You You
Get In The Way Of What I Feel For You

When The Rain Is Pourin Down
And My Heart Is Hurting
You Will Always Be Around
This I Know For Certain

[Hook:]
You And Me Together Through The Days And Nights
I Don't Worry Cause
Everything's Gonna Be Alright
People Keep Talking
They Can Say What They Like
But All I Know Is Everything Is Gonna Be Alright

[Chorus:]
No One
No One
No One
Can Get In The Way Of What I'm Feelin'
No One
No One
No One
Can Get In The Way Of What I Feel For You
You You
Can Get In The Way Of What I Feel For U

I Know
Some People Search The World
To Find
Something Like What We Have
I Know
People Will Try, Try To Divide Something So Real
So Till The End Of Time
I'm Telling You That No One

No One
No One
Can Get In The Way Of What I'm Feelin'
No One
No One
No One
Can Get In The Way Of What I Feel For You

Oooh Ooh
Oh Oh
Oh

. . .



If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn't feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I'd be wishing you were here
To be everything that I'd be looking for
I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again

Oh Oh Ohhhhh

How many really know what love is?
No you never will
Do you know until you lose it
That it's everything that we are looking for
When I wake up in the morning
You're beside me
I'm so thankful that I found
Everything that I been looking for

I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
(can you do that for me baby)
Every time you touch me
(see we don't really know)
Touch me like this is the last time
(see everyday we never know)
Promise that you'll love me
(I want you to promise me)
Love me like you'll never see me again
(like you'll never see me again)

Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

. . .


(feat. John Mayer)

He broke a heart
And now it's raining
Just to rub it in
I'm at your door
I feel so crazy about it
You'll say I told you so
You saw it long ago
You knew he had to go
I finally came 'round
I'm back on solid ground
Can't let it get me down

It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Sometimes
Some lies
Can take a minute
To fully realize
His tears
Your eyes
Thirty seconds to apologize
You give it one more chance
Just like the time before
But he already know you'd give a hundred more
Until that night in bed
You wake up in a sweat
You're racing to the door
Can't take it anymore

I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Life perfect
Ain't perfect
If you don't know what the struggle's for
Falling down ain't falling down
If you don't cry when you hit the floor
It's called the past cause I'm getting past
And I ain't nothing like I was before
You ought to see me now

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

. . .


Let's go back in time
When seeing your ID on mine
Made me crazy
Ooh baby I'm saying

Let's go back there
Let's take it there
I'm talking bout
Back in time
When you wanted to know my every move
Tired to keep it smooth
Keepin' up with me
You drove me crazy ohh baby

Let's go back there
Let's take it there

When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
I wanted to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby , let's go

Chorus
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go

Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love

Let's go back in time
When our kiss was brand new
An adventure not perfected
A little hesitant

Let's go back there

Let's take it there

Take it back in time
When forever was a minute, and eternity was a second
I'm stressing that we have to go back there
Let's take it there.


When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
I wanted to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby , let's go

Chorus
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go

Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love

Ooh baby, let's go

Chorus
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go

Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love

. . .



Love
Love will come find you
Just to remind you
Of who you are

Hold on
It will forsake you
Threaten to break you
Take what you got

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it could hurt you baby
But give it a lil try
See that's the thing about love

Friends
Sometimes will blind you
Sneak up behind you
You cant give enough

Then life
It will embrace you
Totally amaze you
So you don't give up

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it could hurt you baby

But give it a lil try
See that's the thing about love

Don't tell me that i'm not the only that's going thru it all
Ohhh sometimes I feel like i'm the only that's going thru it all
But its time
Oh its time
For me to shine
Hey
Its my time
Oh its time
For me to shine

Its my time
Said its my time
For me to shine
Its my time
Its bout time
For me to shine

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it could hurt u baby
But give it a lil try
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about
That's the thing about love

. . .



Can't wait to get home
Baby dial your number
Can u pick up the phone
Cause I wanna holla
Daydreaming about you all day
In school can't concentrate
Want have your voice in my ear
'Till ma comes and says its too late
When the lights are on outside
Could you find somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby

Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair

Another secret meeting
On the 5th floor stair case
I'm wanna give you this letter
Of all the things I cant say
Want you to be my first my last my ending and beginning
I wrote your name in my book
You last name my first
I'm your Mrs.

When the lights are on outside
Could you find somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby

Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair


Hey boy
You know I really like being with u right?
Just hanging out with you is fun

So maybe we can go to first base
Because I feel you
Second base
Want you to feel me too
Third base
Better pump the breaks
Well baby slow down
I gotta go home now

Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby

Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
my first teenage love affair

My baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair

. . .



You're too far away I wonder why I can't say I need you now
Walkin' around can't keep my feet on the ground
We used to hold hands but now you don't give a damn about me
Why can't you see?

(chorus)
I need you
I want you
I love you
I lost you
You broke me
Why can't you hold me now

You broke my heart all I do is
Scream real loud pick you up and throw you down
You broke my heart I don't know where to start but
Baby I need you baby I need you

Verse 2
I'm starting to read every night
I'm fallin asleep to make it right and not think about you baby
I say to myself this is goin' great
Who am I kidding
This is all fake
I start to think of all my needs and this is what I sing

(Repeat chorus)
Baby I need you

. . .


We're at the crossroads, my dear
Where do we go from here?
Maybe you won't go, maybe you'll stay
Oh I know I'm gonna miss you either ways
It's such a lonely road

[Chorus]
Where do we go from here?
All I can do is - follow the tracks of my tears
Oh

When I cry your name
Am I crawling in bed
Oh and am I waiting only to drown in pain
Oh
Don't you do it
No, said don't you leave me this way


I don't know
If I can lift my head and face another day
Ooh it's such a lonely road

[Chorus]
Where do we go from here?
All I can do is - follow the tracks of my tears

You seem now the kind of girl who's lost and looking for direction
(Who could this be? Staring at me)
When I'm looking in the mirror trying to find a resolution
(Me too far gone, to find my way home)

[Chorus]
Where do we go from here?
All I can do is - follow the tracks of my tears

. . .


Sometimes I feel
Like I don’t belong anywhere
And it’s gonna take so long
For me to get somewhere
Sometimes I feel
So heavy hearted
But I can’t explain
Cuz I’m so guarded


But that’s a lonely road to travel
And a heavy load to bare
And it’s a long, long way to heaven
But I gotta get there
Can you send an angel?
Can you send me an angel?
Guide me

. . .


Get so caught up everyday
tryin to keep it all together
while the time just slips away
see i know nothing lasts forever

Imagine there was no tomorrow
imagine that i couldn't see your face
there'd be no limit to my sorrow
so all i can say

chorus:
i wanna tell you something
give you something
show you in so many ways
cuz it would all mean nothing
if i don't say something
before it all goes away
don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
waste another hour
let alone another day
i'm gonna tell you something
show you something
won't wait til it's too late

i can't wait, i can't wait, i won't wait, i don't wanna wait
i can't wait, i can't wait, i won't wait, i don't wanna wait
i won't wait til it's too late

just a simple conversation (..sation)
just a moment is all it takes (yeah)
i wanna be there just to listen
(i wanna be here)
and i don't wanna hesitate (oh no)

imagine there was no tomorrow (imagine)
imagine that i couldn't see your face (your face)
there'd be no limit to my sorrow (oh no)
cuz there is nothing that can fill this space

i don't wanna put it off for too long
i didn't say all that i had to say
i wanna take the time to right the wrongs
before we get to that place

chorus:
i wanna tell you something
give you something
show you in so many ways

cuz it would all mean nothing
if i don't say something
before it all goes away
don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
waste another hour
let alone another day
i'm gonna tell you something
show you something
won't wait til it's too late

just lean on my shoulder
it's not over til it's over
don't worry boy
cuz i'm gonna make sure
i'm gonna get stronger yeah

i don't wanna wait until the storm
and somethings wrong
and now you're gone
and i can't find ya

chorus:
i wanna tell you something
give you something
show you in so many ways
cuz it would all mean nothing
if i don't say something
before it all goes away
don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
waste another hour
let alone another day

won't wait til it's too late

repeat chorus

i can't wait, i can't wait, i won't wait, i don't wanna wait

i can't wait, i can't wait, i won't wait, i don't wanna wait
(no.. won't wait, no no)
i can't wait, i can't wait, i won't wait, i don't wanna wait

i can't wait, i can't wait, i won't wait, i don't wanna wait
no no no no no
no no
(i can't wait, i won't wait)

Life is cheap, bitter sweet
But it tastes good to me

Take my turn, crash and burn
Thats how its supposed to be

So don’t rain on my parade
Life’s too short to waste one day

I’m gonna risk it all
The freedom to fall
Yes its sure looks good to me

Time passed by and leaves you behind
Taken naturally

Heaven knows (OH) There’s so much more
More than what we see

So don’t rain on my parade
Life’s to short to waste one day

I’m gonna risk it all to
The freedom to fall
Yes its sure looks good to me

(HEY) It sure looks good to me

Ooh, ooh, oooo, oohh
Yea, yea, yea

Ooh, ooh, oooo, oohh
Yea, yea, yea

Deep in my mind Im secure we can buy
I wanna see life before I die or a lie in an empty space

The darkness comes and I’ve been telling my soul
And me and myself we turn around, we’re getting old

But the lightning crashing, foolish emotions
Of the bruises and the beauty of this moment that we’re feeling

And I feel like I’m seeing the world inside of me
But I can tell you that I know, its getting easy and I’m free

There’s a cold in the morning, endless equation
Of who’ve we become, it’s a complex situation

So live, love, life give love
Live, love, life give love
Live, love, life give love

Cuz who are we anyway

So don’t rain on my parade
Life’s to short to waste one day

I’m gonna risk it all
The freedom to fall
Yes its sure looks good to me

(HEY) It sure looks good to me
(I’m telling you) It sure looks good to me

(YEA) It sure looks good to me

Looks good to me, yea, yea, yea
