BYE BYE BYE

(Hey, Hey)
Bye, Bye, Bye
Bye, Bye...
Bye, Bye...
Oh, Oh..

I'm doin' this tonight,
You're probably gonna start a fight.
I know this can't be right.
Hey baby come on,
I loved you endlessly,
When you weren't there for me.
So now it's time to leave and make it alone.

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye...

Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye...

Don't really wanna make it tough,
I just wanna tell you that I had enough.
It might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye

(Oh, Oh)
Just hit me with the truth,
Now, girl you're more than welcome to.
So give me one good reason,
Baby come on

I lived for you and me,
And now I've really come to see,
That life would be much better,
Once you're gone.

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie,
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye...

Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie,
Baby Bye, bye, bye...

Don't really wanna make it tough,
I just wanna tell you that I had enough.
It might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye

I'm giving up I know for sure
I don't wanna be the reason for your love no more
Bye Bye

I'm checkin' out
I'm signin' off
I don't wanna be the loser and I've had enough

I don't wanna be your fool
In this game for two
So I'm leavin' you behind
Bye, bye, bye

I don't wanna make it tough
But I had enough
And it ain't no lie (Bye, bye baby)
Bye, Bye
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
(I don't wanna be your fool)
But it ain't no lie
Baby bye, bye, bye...

Don't really wanna make it tough,
I just wanna tell you that I had enough.
Might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Bye, bye, bye

IT'S GONNA BE ME

It's gonna be me

Justin: You might've been hurt babe
That ain't no lie
You've seen them all come and go
Ohhh...
I remember you told me
That it made you believe in no man, no cry
Maybe that's why

CHORUS:
Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
You don't want to lose it again
But I'm not like them
And even when you finally
Get to love somebody
Guess what
It's gonna be me

JC: You got no choice, babe
But to move on, you know
There ain't no time to waste
Cuz you're just
Too blind to see
But in the end you know it's gonna be me
You can't deny
So just tell me why

CHORUS

Hey.....
(It's gonna be me)
ohhh...Yeah

Justin: There comes a day
When I'll be the one
You'll see
It's gonna (gonna)(gonna)(gonna)(gonna)
It's gonna be me
All that I do
Is not enough for you
I don't wanna lose it
But I'm not lying, babe
When finally
You get to learn
Guess what (guess what)

CHORUS x2

It's gonna be me

SPACE COWBOY

JC: Here it comes
Millennia
And everybody's talkin' about
Jerusalem

Is this the beginning
Or beginning of the end
Well I've got other thoughts my friends
See I've got my eyes on the skies
The heavenly bodies of light
And if you're in the mood to take a ride
Then strap on the suit and get inside

CHORUS:
If you wanna fly
Come and take a ride
Take a space ride with a cowboy, baby
If you wanna fly
Come and take a ride
Take a space ride with a cowboy, baby

Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo

Justin: We don't need all these prophecies
Telling us what's inside
Cuz paranoia ain't the way
To live your life from day to day
So leave your doubts and your fears behind

Don't be afraid at all
Cuz up in outer space there's no gravity to fall
Put your mind and your body to the test
Cuz up in outer space is like a wild, wild west

CHORUS

Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
(yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yay)
Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
(yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo)
Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
(yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yay)
Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
(yippie-yi-yo)

Left Eye (rap): Sonic boom and never let you try to stop me
You wanna fly sky high up to the top see
No need to fear no doubts and no tears
Millennium sound will motivate the future years
And you've been hit to be scared
Or get prepared against all odds
I'll bet you never would've dared
To make these moves
And take flight like me
To come through for the world prophecy
Space connect to overthrow your interception
Ready or not make it hot there ain't no question
Or get in sync and put your head to the sky
Keep the faith, one love from Left Eye

CHORUS x2

Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
(just ride, baby)
Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
(just ride, baby)
Wi-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
(ride with the cowboy)

Justin (computerized/breathless): End of transmission...they've had enough

Don't you know, I'm just groovin' to the beat
Groovin', yeah, groovin', oh, oh, oh, ohhhh

And it's probable when ya hear our voices laid down
You'll be boppin' your head to this ill tight sound

JC (rapping): Now I know ya prob'ly thought cha had me played (played)

JC: On the floor, rockin' to the beat
All ways, sure looks sweet
Fine young lady, standin' by
Come on baby, sweet eye delight

IT MAKES ME ILL

Justin: I was hangin' with da fellas
Saw you with your new boyfriend, it made me jealous
I was hoping that I'd never see ya with him
But it's all good cuz I'm glad that I met him

Cuz now I know the competition's very slim to none
And I can tell by lookin' that he's not the one
He's not the type you said you like,
His style's whack, clothes are bad
Come on, girl, let him go, I want you back

Call me a hater if ya want to
But I only hate on him cause I want you
Say I'm trippin' if ya feel like
But you with out me ain't right (ain't right)
You can say I'm crazy if ya want to, that's true
I'm crazy 'bout you
You can say I'm breakin' down inside (inside)
But I can't see ya with another guy

CHORUS:
It makes me ill to see you give
Love and attention at his will
And you can imagine how it makes me feel
To see you with him
Oh it makes me ill to see you give

JC: Girl I know that we broke up
But that doesn't mean you should give the cold shoulder
Cause you know that i truly do adore ya
And that other guy can't do nothin' for ya
See i can tell that you that you don't really love that guy
So there's no need for you to go and waste your time
I think you know I love you more
Girl ya gotta let him go
I want you so give him da boot

Call me a hater if ya want to
But I only hate on him cause I want you
Say I'm trippin' if ya feel like
But you with out me ain't right
You can say I'm crazy if ya want to, that's true
I'm crazy 'bout you
You can say I'm breakin' down inside (inside)
But i can see you with another guy

CHORUS

It makes me ill cause she used to be my girl (used to be my girl x2)

THIS I PROMISE YOU

Ohh ohhhhhhh

When visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you,
Are secrets and lies

I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along...

CHORUS:
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore

I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...

Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
Ooh...I promise you..

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...

CHORUS

Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

And every word I say is true,
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...

NO STRINGS ATTACHED

Baby, you're not the only one
Ohhh

JC: I see the things he does to you
All the pain that he put you through
And I see what's really goin' on
Stayin' out at night while you're by the phone

Take it from me
It's a lesson to be learned
Even the good guys get burned
Take it from me
See I would give you love
The kind of love that you've only dreamed of

CHORUS

Baby, you're not the only one
But you don't have to be afraid to fall in love
And I know that you've hurt in the past
If you want it, here's my heart
No strings attached

Justin: He doesn't give you the kind of attention
That a girl like you needs (that a girl like you needs)
Cuz he always looks around, his eyes wander round
He doesn't see you like I see

Take it from me
It's a lesson to be learned
Even the good guys get burned
Take it from me
See I would give you love
The kind of love that you've only dreamed of

CHORUS

Take it from me
It's a lesson to be learned
Even the good guys get burned
Take it from me
See I would give you love
The kind of love that you've only dreamed of

So if you wanna take a chance with me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Baby, if you take a chance with me
Take a chance with me
And I'll be everything you need
Because it's our destiny

CHORUS x2
No strings attached

And give em proof that we can get loose y'all

THAT'S WHEN I'LL STOP LOVING YOU

When winter comes in summer
When there's no more forever
Yeah
That's when I'll stop loving you

Justin: That's when I'll stop loving you
I'm sure you've heard these words before
And I know it's hard for you to trust them once more
You're afraid it may all end
And a broken heart is scared of breaking again

But you've got to believe me
I'll never leave you
You'll never cry as long as I am there
And I will always be there
You will never be without love

CHORUS:
When winter comes in summer
When there's no more forever
When lies become the truth
Oh you know then, baby
That's when I'll stop loving
That's when I'll stop loving you (That's when I'll stop loving you)

JC: As long as sunlight lights the sky
The light of love will be found in these eyes of mine
I will shine that light for you
You're the only one I'll ever hear(?) this part to
What I'm trying to say is
Nothing will change this
______________________
Cuz I will always be there
You will always have all my love

CHORUS

JC & Justin: When this world doesn't turn anymore
When the stars all decide to stop shining
Till then I'm gonna be by your side
I'm gonna be loving you forever
Every day of my life

That's when I'll stop loving
That's when I'll stop loving...

JC & Justin: That's when I'll stop loving you

And my love is on your mind
Well don't you worry, I won't keep you waiting,
Cuz I ain't never seen a lady so fine
I know you want me to,

They're telling me you'll open your heart to me
Cuz if you want me to,
I'll sacrifice my world for you,
And show you, the way love's supposed to be

I THOUGHT SHE KNEW

Do do do, do do do do do do do...

Justin: She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh, I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew

She said I took her for granted
That's the last thing I would do
Oh I'll never understand it
'Cause I thought she knew
I thought she knew

CHORUS:
I thought she knew
My world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known

Joey: A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we're through
I'd sell my soul to have this silence broken
Oh I thought she knew
I thought she knew

CHORUS

She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh, I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew
I thought she knew (repeated x5)

Oooooooo
Oh, I thought that she knew
Yeah
