DEMONS
What you do with the pain
when you're going through hell
while again and over again
you go under that spell
well, well my friend
I've been trying to warn you
Some of your demons
Are dieing to burn you
LOOK TO THE LIGHT
THERE'S A PATH THAT'S RIGHT
NO BAPTISM OF FIRE
COULD GET YOU ANY HIGHER
All these afflictions
you shake and you shiver
my friend these addictions
are selling you down river
all the crossroads go by
and which way to turn
tell me do you wish to fly
or do you just wish to burn?
TRIED IT ALL
I've tried to be clear
I've tried to be true
but I still see the fear
hanging over you
tried being up front
and left nothing to hide
told you what I want
told you I'm on your side
BEND JUST A LITTLE BIT
I'LL MAKE THE PIECES FIT
I've tried to be there
whenever you'd need
I've tried to be fair
I've tried to be freed
I've tried it all
I've bent every which way
but you refuse to fall
for anything I say
BEND JUST A LITTLE BIT
I'LL MAKE THE PIECES FIT
tried letting you in
tried letting you go
I've tried everything
and anything I know
I've tried being cool
I've tried laying low
but I can't be a fool
for you anymore
WHAT GIVES ANYWAY
I'm here for you
you go running to him
all these things I do
you don't notice them
AND I SAY, Hey! Hey! Hey!
WHAT GIVES, ANYWAY?
Might not be wrong
but it just isn't right
you sending me home
him spending the night
every time on the phone
like a little traitor
you say "I'm not alone,
talk to you later!"
SEE YA!
I was in deep with you
I feel different today
Saw you with someone new
so I'm pulling away
Say good by to the me
say good-bye to the you
I'm setting us free
from the world that we knew
I GOTTA GO, GOTTA GO, GOTTA GO
SO, SEE YA!
I was getting serious
but you lie and you play
while you get delirious
I'll be getting away
Say good by to the me
say good-bye to the you
I'm setting us free
from the world that we knew
1/2 CHANCE
All I want is for you
to see me like I do
and give me half a chance
just a little fraction
of a bit more action
more than just a glance
why do you think you can tell
that you know me so well
from miles and miles away
when we are so far apart
how do you know my heart
or the things it feels today?
HALF A CHANCE TO SHOW
HALF A CHANCE TO GROW
HALF A CHANCE AND NOTHING MORE
HALF A CHANCE TO LAUGH
HALF A CHANCE JUST HALF
COULD MEAN THE WHOLE SCORE
Don't stop before the start
put the horse before the cart
it won't work that way at all
so don't bring on the end
before we even begin
even stars need time to fall
hold on just a little longer
feelings can grow stronger
and you could be happily surprised
things come to those who wait
insecurities they slowly fade
into a love you never realized
JUDGE ME SO CRUEL
What I said and what I meant
never did quite connect
God only knows if what you heard
was even halfway correct
What I did and what I tried
were never one and the same
God only knows if what you saw
was even close to my aim
DON'T JUDGE ME SO CRUEL
I'M NOT EVEN IN THIS DUEL
DON'T JUDGE ME SO CRUEL
I'M NOT EVEN IN THIS DUEL
There's so much confusion
in what I felt and what I told
God only knows what you thought
was I being shy or being bold?
What I think and what I dream
sometimes get mixed in my head
God only knows are my dreams reality?
and my reality a dream instead?
DRIVING ME CRAZY
I remember like it was today
the taste of your lips, the touch of your hand
I remember because it won't go away
the softness of your hair, the scent of your skin
I CLOSE MY EYES AND MM-MMM-MMM BABY
YOU'RE STILL DRIVING ME CRAZY
It was a hot night of passion
so full of touch, full of discovery
So long ago and I can't imagine
that I'll forget and make a full recovery
STAY
How do I want to be heard?
what do I want to say?
I struggle with the word
I struggle with the way
I just want to be clear
clear as the light of day
that I want you to be here
and that I want you to stay
SO STAY-------------AY AND I WON'T HURT YOU
PLEASE STAY---------AY I WON'T DESERT YOU
What do you need to know
to make your heart at ease
Tell me what do I need to show
will you stay? pretty please?
BACK TO YOU
As soon as my day begins
I've got you on my mind
where you are? how you're feeling?
what sort of love you hope to find?
will you make my heart your home?
and will we ever find a way?
to be there for each other
throughout each and every day
EVERYTHING I DO GOES BACK TO YOU
GOES BACK TO YOU, GOES BACK TO YOU
EVERYTHING I DO GOES BACK TO YOU
GOES BACK TO YOU, GOES BACK TO YOU
When my day is ending
and it's time to say my prayer
I pray the Lord keep you safe
and watch since I can not be there
That's my normal routine
with just a little bit of play
and every twenty four hours
start and end the same way
FULL CONTROL
Everybody's got a past
some worst than others
blame it on your friends
blame it on your fathers
everybody's got reasons
to use not to tow the line
but I can't be towing yours
I'm already towing mine
BLAME IT ON FAMILY
BLAME IT ON SOCIETY
BLAME IT ON CALAMITY
ON SEPARATION ANXIETY
BUT YOU'VE GOT FULL--------- ULL, CONTROL
Gotta make a chance
you can't go on this way
victims of circumstance
who never ever had a say
take responsibility
for whatever you do
just between you and me
I know you're in control of you
LIKE I NEED YOU
Like the deserts need the sun
like the rivers need to run
and the sea needs the blue
like the sky needs the mist
like the hand needs the wrist
and the dawn needs the dew
I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU, LIKE I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU, LIKE I NEED YOU
Like the moon needs the night
like the poets need to write
like the flower needs the bee
like the mirror needs reflection
like an action needs reaction
and like the fish need the sea
CRAZY, CRAZY LOVE
Every time is the same
I get caught in the game
then I circle the flame
always flirting whit danger
my emotions on high
I decide on the fly
whether to live or die
this love is no stranger
this love is no stranger
IT'S A CRAZY, CRAZY LOVE
CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY LOVE
This crazy obsession
must make a connection
where is the reaction
gotta have one somehow
don't make me sweat it
cause girl, I gotta get it
man, just let me at it
right here and right now
PLAYER OF FAME
(translation of Jogador de Fama)
As a player I am so slick
so much experience that I use
every time I go to kick
I always lose my shoes
I play how it's meant to be
they don't stop me at all
the ball runs away from me
and me running after the ball
AFTER A MINUTE IN THE GAME
"GET OUT' THE COACH WILL CALL
I'VE ACHIEVED SO MUCH FAME
AND NEVER EVEN TOUCHED THE BALL
The times I like the most
is when the goal is clear
I am right between the posts
but never even come near
It's an obsession of mine
I play and play but never score
It isn't even half-time
I'm already off the floor
when I commit a fowl
as others do in their zeal
I can hear the crowd howl
get that bum off the field
I've put myself to the test
I tried forward and defense
but the position I play best
seems to be on the bench
GIVE UP ON YOU (Power
Ballad)
The world outside sometimes may bring you down
and make you feel like you're losing control
there are those who will run you all over town
But I am always here To help soothe your soul
Nothing on this earth Will get in the way
No matter how far you go I'm right behind you
I give you my word that Tomorrow just like today
No matter how lost you are I will always find you
YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW
I'M THE ONE WHO REALLY LOVES YOU
OTHERS MAY GIVE IN
OTHERS MAY GIVE OUT
BUT I'LL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU
I'LL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU
I'LL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU
I will be all around And I will be easy to find
I shall be deep within you Doesn't matter how far
A promise is a promise I will never fall behind
So that wherever I am That'll be wherever you are
Listen to what I say Always take my words with you
Locked in your heart Keep them in your head
In those times when You don't know how to get through
Just close your eyes And remember what I said
DON'T LIKE THAT
You see you and her go by
I'm feeling like I want to die
My hurt and jealousy seem to get the upper hand
All these feelings inside
That have no place to hide
And these parts of me just don't understand
They're the same fingertips
That caressed your hips
The same pair of eyes that saw into your soul
They're the same sweet lips
That made your heart do flips
I'm still the same I'm just not in that role
GIVE ME BACK MY BODY
GIVE IT BACK
YOU'VE GOT CONTROL OVER ME
I DON'T LIKE THAT
GIVE ME BACK MY HEART
GIVE IT BACK
YOU'VE GOT CONTROL OVER ME
I DON'T LIKE THAT
They're the same fingertips
That caressed your hips
The same pair of eyes that saw into your soul
They're the same sweet lips
That made your heart do flips
I'm still the same I'm just not in that role
THE WAY IT HAD TO BE
Lately the days don't seem the same
I guess I've got myself to blame
But it was never meant to be
Oh we tried the best we could
But even the best wasn't good
Enough to keep us from growing free
Now my days are just for me
And your days for you, I see
And I do hope that you do well
That's the funny thing in relations
You need the same destinations
We didn't know that when we fell
I DON'T BLAME YOU
SO DON'T BLAME ME
THAT'S JUST THE WAY
THAT IT HAD TO BE
I have found my sense of humor
And I wish for you more
Than I ever wished before
I have found myself at peace
Not overwhelmed with things like these
And I have stepped through the door
Now your shadow doesn't shine down
I can see all the good around
I see so much that I never knew
I see all now with wonder
All around, above and under
And so for that I do thank you
BIGGER THAN ME
I brought myself here
could not break away
you thought I'd disappear
but I managed to stay
I get lost in the emotion
when I find you this way
how I toy with the notion
never know what to say
IT'S BIGGER THAN ME
IT'S BIGGER THAN YOU
AND IT LOOKS TO BE
BIGGER THAN THE TWO
BIGGER THAN IT IS
BIGGER THAN IT WAS
IT'S BIGGER THAN THIS
AND BIGGER THAN US
you think it's meant to be
is that why I feel this way
cause if it's not meant to be
we just can't pull away
it's packed up so neatly
it should be on display
controls us completely
what good is it to pray
SLIDE
hmmm-hmmm ahhh hmmm
ahhh hmmm-hmmm ahhh hmmm
aaaahhhh
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
Sometimes you pull away,
Sometimes you push hard
Sometimes you're led astray
Sometimes you don't get far
Sometimes it's right up front
Sometimes you're in the trench
Sometimes it's all you want
sometimes not even a pinch
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
Sometimes you can't get deep
Sometimes it's way too much
Sometimes it's your to keep
Sometimes you can't even touch
Sometimes the way is clear
and sometimes you can't tell
Sometimes you can't get near
Sometimes it's just as well
(RAP freestyle part)
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
sometimes side to side
you're right side up
or upside down
go on and let it slide
get up on the bus
you can come with us
playing seek and hide
I say it like I said
full speed ahead
go on and let it slide
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
DO IT RIGHT
Hey boy, -You think you're tough
But fighting only shows your anger
You don't -Have love enough
For life to respect the danger
Guns don't -Make you a man
No matter what your friends say
You want -To join a gang
There's one in church every Sunday
(bridge)
You've got to give love to get love .... ..Get love
It's the only way
You've got to give love to get love .... ..Get love
It's the only way
(chorus)
DO-RO-DO DO THE RIGHT THING
CAUSE I KNOW YOUR HEART KNOWS
DO-RO-DO DO THE RIGHT THING
YOU'LL SEE HOW GOODNESS GROWS
DO-RO-DO DO THE RIGHT THING
CAUSE I KNOW YOUR HEART KNOWS
DO-RO-DO DO THE RIGHT THING
YOU'LL SEE HOW GOODNESS GROWS
Hey boy -What's your thought?
What's going through your head?
Cause all -The problems don't stop
Just because somebody's dead
You better -Stop and think about it
Cause real man are smarter
Violence -You can do without it
Without love it's so much harder
(bridge)
You've got to give love to get love .... ..Get love, It's the only way
You've got to give love to get love .... ..Get love, It's the only way
(chorus)
DO-RO-DO DO THE RIGHT THING
CAUSE I KNOW YOUR HEART KNOWS
DO-RO-DO DO THE RIGHT THING
YOU'LL SEE HOW GOODNESS GROWS (repeats)
FOUR DAYS
All alone in the streets of danger
a girl should beware any stranger
there are those you can never trust
cause they only know greed and lust
You've heard over and over again
if going out at night always bring a friend
you need eyes in the back of your head
before you realize you could end up dead
FOUR DAYS GONE BY
WHERE WERE YOU? and WHY? WHY? WHY?
You find yourself just barely alive
but there are those who never survive
Glamour isn't what it's made up to be
A good time doesn't always end in glee
You think we all should know better
world's sick, who knows what's the matter?
gotta learn to stick with family and friends
they're the ones to be by you in the end
FOUR DAYS GONE BY
WHERE WERE YOU? and WHY? WHY? WHY?
FEEDING THE FIRES
It was the heat of the night
We basked in the light
Everything felt right
When we handled the flames
It was rhythm and beat
You held me in the heat
Each of us was complete
In the passions that love claims
YOU'VE GOT TO FEED IT, FEED I, FEED IT
CAUSE YOU NEED IT, NEED IT, NEED IT
OH YOU'RE FEEDING THE FIRES NOW
YOU'RE FEEDING THE FIRES NOW,
OH YEAH
in the heat of the sun
we were burning as one
love's desires that run
chasing hearts around so fast
fire and fuel meeting
burning and overheating
I could feel my heart beating
Like it was flying out of my chest
REAP WHAT YOU SOW

Sowing the seed of hate ... You reap what you sow!
