**The Call**

Hi, it’s me… what’s up baby?

I’m sorry, listen, I’m gonna be late tonight so don’t stay up and wait for me, ok?”

“Where are you?”

“Say that again… you’re really dropping out… I think my battery must be low… listen, if you can hear me, we’re going to a place nearby alright… gotta go!”

Let me tell you the story ‘bout the call that changed my destiny

Me and my boys went out just to end up in misery

Was about to go home when there she was standing in front of me

I said hi, I got a little place nearby, wanna go?

I should’ve said no, someone’s waiting for me

But I called my girl up and said…

*CHORUS*:

*Listen baby I’m sorry

Just wanna tell you don’t worry

I will be late, don’t stay up and wait for me

Say again… you’re dropping out… my battery is low

Just so you know, we’re going to a place nearby

Gotta go!*

Now two years gone, nothing gets won<

I can’t take it back, what’s done is done

One of her friends found out that she wasn’t my only one

And it eats me from inside that she’s not by my side

Just because I made that call and lied

*CHORUS*-repeat

Let me tell you the story ‘bout the call that changed my destiny

Me and my boys went out just to end up in misery

Was about to go home when there she was standing there in front of me

I said hi, I got a little place nearby… gotta go!

*CHORUS*–repeat

**Shape Of My Heart**

Baby please try to forgive me

Stay here don't put out the glow

Hold me now, don't bother

If every minute it makes me weaker

You can save me from the man that I've become

Oh yeah

*CHORUS*:

*Lookin' back on the things I've done

I was trying to be someone Play my part & kept ya in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of my heart*

Sadness is beautiful

Loniness is tragical

So help me, I can't win this war, oh no

Touch me now, don't bother

If every second it makes me weaker

You can save me from the man I've become

*CHORUS*-repeat

I'm here with my confession

Got nothing to hide no more

I don't know where to start

But to show you the shape of my heart

I'm looking back on things I've done

I never wanna play the same old part

Keep you in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of my heart

*CHORUS*-repeat twice

Show you the shape of my heart

**Get Another Boyfriend**

Let’s talk about one baby

You gotta hear me out

Do you really wanna be the last to know

What it’s all about

Let’s talk about two, you say

He’s the essence of your life

But he’ll eat you up from inside slow

And then he doesn’t wanna know

I’m telling you, he’ll eat you up from inside

And then he doesn’t wanna know

*CHORUS*:

*Listen, I mean it

There’s nothing that he’s worthy of

He’s just another player playing in the name of love

I’ve seen enough, now this must come to an end

Get another boyfriend*

Let’s talk about what he’s done

To become your number one

Or was it all the promises of diamonds, pearls and party dresses that turned you on

I’ve seen it before, don’t take anymore

Three, two you’re through for sure

Just go get on with your life

Stop acting like you’ve given up

I’m telling you to go get on with your life

Stop acting like you’ve given up

*CHORUS*–repeat

Hear me out

You must know

What it’s all about, baby

That he’s just a player in love

This must come to an end

Get another boyfriend

*CHORUS*–repeat

**Shining Star**

*CHORUS*:

*You’re my shining star

That is what you are

There is no one like you baby

Angels everywhere

Everytime you’re near

You will always be my baby*

Baby when you do the things you do

I wanna be close to you

‘Cause I need to feel your every move, oh

Baby I can never say how much

I need your touch, I can’t get enough

‘Cause you know what to do to turn me on, yeah

*CHORUS*–repeat

Baby you’re as close as close can get

And baby you know I’d let

Every single part of me be yours, ooh yeah

It doesn’t matter if the phone might ring

‘Cause I won’t hear a thing when I’m in your arms

‘Cause you know what to do to turn me on

*CHORUS*–repeat

I’ve never been so satisfied

With anything in my entire life

‘Cause you are doing everything so right

Oh, oh baby

I’ve never been so satisfied

With anything in my entire life

‘Cause you are doing everything so right

Oh, oh baby

*CHORUS*–repeat

You know that I adore you

Wanna be there everyday for you

To satisfy your every needs my baby, baby

You know that I adore you

Wanna be there everyday for you

To satisfy your every needs my baby, baby

*CHORUS*–repeat

**I Promise You (With Everything I Am)**

It’s in the silences

The words you never say

I see it in your eyes

Always starts the same way

It seems like everyone we know is breaking up

Does anybody ever stay in love anymore

*CHORUS*:

*I promise you

From the bottom of my heart

I will love you ‘til death do us part

I promise you

As a lover and a friend

I will love you like I’ll never love again

With everything I am*

I see you look at me

When you think I’m not aware

You’re searching for clues

Of just how deep my feelings are

How do you prove the sky is blue

The ocean’s wide

All I know is what I feel

When I look into your eyes

*CHORUS*-repeat

There are no guarantees

That’s what you always say to me

And late at night I feel the tremble in your touch

What I’m trying to say to you

I never said to anyone

*CHORUS*–repeat

…with everything I am

**The Answer To Our Life**

You see me sitting here

A smile upon my face

The time has come but you know that it’s not too late

There’s been too many things

Together we have seen

It’s not that hard if we start to believe

And we’re not gonna take anymore

Can we try to erase all the pain

So please…

*CHORUS*:

*Show me a reason, give me a sign Tell me the way we fall out of line

Is it today or is it tonight we’ll find

The answer to our life*

This world is not at ease

We seem to hide the truth

Thinking there’s only so much we can really do

It’s up to you and me

To fix our destiny

The jury’s here, so let’s take the stand

And we’re not gonna take anymore

Can we try to erase all the pain

So please

*CHORUS*-repeat

So tell me why we have to cry (and not try)

When there’s so many things we can do

To help this troubled world start anew

I need a reason, I need a sign

There’s no turning back, I’m here by your side

Is it today or maybe tonight, we’ll find

The answer to our life

Show me the way

Give me a sign

Tell me the way we fall out of line

Is it today, is it tonight

The answer to our life

*CHORUS*–repeat

**Everyone**

We’ve been through days of thunder

Some people said we don’t belong

They try to pull us under

But here we stand together and we’re millions strong

Let’s get on with the show (let’s get started)

Turn the lights down low (turn the lights down low)

You were there from start (you were there)

We know who you are

And this one goes out to…

*CHORUS*:

*Everyone, everyone, everyone

So this one goes out to you

Everyone

We’re standing strong

‘Cause of what you’ve done

And this one goes out to you*

We’ve been inside the circus

We took the pleasure with the pain

I guess there’s something about us

Whatever comes around we’ll always stay the same, oh yeah

Let’s get on with the show (oh let’s get started)

Turn the lights down low (turn the lights down low)

You were there from the start (you were there)

We know who you are

We know who you are

*CHORUS*-repeat

Now we’re minutes away

Til it’s time to play

Our heartbeats are rising, they’re letting you in

Time for the show to begin

We, we’re standing strong ‘cause of what you’ve done

This one goes out to you, you, you

You make us feel like we’ve just begun

And this one goes out to you

*CHORUS*-repeat

**More Than That**

I can see that you’ve been crying

You can’t hide it with a lie

What’s the use in you denying

That what you have is wrong

I heard him promise you forever

But forever’s come and gone

Baby, he would say whatever

It takes to keep you blind

To the truth between the lines, oh…

*CHORUS*:

*I will love you more than that

I won’t say the words

Then take them back

Don’t give loneliness a chance

Baby listen to me when I say

I will love you more than that*

Baby, you deserve much better

What’s the use in holding on

Don’t you see it’s now or never

‘Cause I just can’t be friends

Baby knowing in the end, that..

*CHORUS*-repeat

There’s not a day that passes by

I don’t wonder why we haven’t tried

It’s not too late to change your mind

So take my hand, don’t say goodbye

*CHORUS*-repeat

**Time**

I know that I, I can’t believe

Just what the path has brought me

To the man I wanna be

And I know that we have had some times

That we can’t forget the struggle

‘Cause we have so far to go

I know we have changed but

Change can be so good

So let’s not forget why it’s understood that…

*CHORUS*:

*Time

Look where we are

And what we’ve been through

Time

Sharing our dreams

Every little bit of life with you

Time it goes on and on everyday, baby

Time is what it is come what may*

I remember when mom used to say

That things are getting better

And you’ll soon be on your way

Remember those days, that we would sing at the drop of a dime

Way back when nothing else mattered

I know we’ve changed but Change can be so good

Oh, so let’s not forget why it’s understood that…

*CHORUS*-repeat

So here we are

And we’ll always stay together

And through it all you know

We owe it all to you, you, you and you

(Time goes on, never stops, it keeps on)

*CHORUS*–repeat

Time, it goes on and on everyday

Time is what it is, come what may, come what may

**Not For Me**

I was looking for something

On a crime scene where you’re in too deep

I found a note with his number

It’s just another clue (that leads to you)

I got a little suspicious

I got a feeling, that you ain’t true to me

I should have known better

Than to buy your lies (your sweet disguise)

Yeah, you can fool anyone

But I’ve got eyes to see

That you’re not for me, babe

*CHORUS*:

*No no, uh uh

Things will never be the same again with you

No no, uh uh

Now I know what it’s coming to

No no, uh uh

‘Cause if you think that it’s the way

That love should be, let me tell you

It’s not for me*

No, I don’t wanna be part of your screenplay

Just tell me did you rehearse on me

Gimme the story

Baby who’s to win (me or him)

Caught in the middle and I´m tired of

Your games of hide-and-seek

I’m getting the feeling

That it’s time for me to leave

You can fool anyone

But I’ve got eyes to see

That you’re not for me, baby

*CHORUS*-repeat

I said no, no

I had enough of your talk and your games

And it won’t go away

Justify my reasons to say, reasons to say…

*CHORUS*-repeat

**Yes I Will**

I open my eyes, I see your face

I cannot hide, I can’t erase

The way you make me feel inside

You complete me girl, that’s why

Something about you makes me feel

Baby my heart wants to reveal

I’m down on my knees, I’m asking you

Say these three words I wanna hear from you

*CHORUS*:

*Yes I will

Take your hand and walk with you

Yes I will

Say these three words that promise to

Yes I will

Give you everything you need and someday start a family with you

Yes I will

Take your hand and walk with you

Yes I will

Baby, I promise you

Yes I will

Give you everything you need and someday start a family with you

Oh yeah, yes I will*

This is no ordinary love

And I can never have enough

Of all the things you’ve given to me

You’re my heart, my soul, my everything

Every night I thank you Lord

For giving me the strength to love her

More and more each day

I promise her as long as I hear those three words

*CHORUS*-repeat

I stand beside you in everything you do

Wherever you go, whatever you do

Baby, I’ll be there

As God is my witness, I will carry this through

‘Til death do us part, I promise to you…

*CHORUS*-repeat

**It's True**

Even a lover makes a mistake sometimes

Like any other

Fall out and lose his mind

And I’m sorry for the things I did

For your teardrops over words I said

Can you forgive me and open your heart once again, oh yeah

*CHORUS*

*It’s true

I mean it

From the bottom of my heart

Yeah, it’s true

Without you I would fall apart*

Whatever happened

I know that I was wrong, oh yes

Can you believe me

Maybe your faith is gone

But I love you and I always will

So I wonder if you want me still

Can you forgive me and open your heart once again, oh yeah

*CHORUS*-repeat

I’d do anything to make it up to you

So please understand

And open your heart once again

*CHORUS*-repeat

**How Did I Fall In Love With You**

Remember when

We never needed each other

The best of friends

Like sister and brother

We understood

We’d never be

Alone

Those days are gone

Now I want you so much

The night is long

And I need your touch

Don’t know what to say

Never meant to feel this way

Don’t wanna be alone tonight

*CHORUS*:

*What can I do to make you mine

Falling so hard, so fast this time

What did I say, what did you do

How did I fall in love with you*

I hear your voice

And I start to tremble

Brings back the child

That I resemble

I cannot pretend

That we can still be friends

Don’t wanna be alone tonight

*CHORUS*-repeat

I wanna say this right

And it has to be tonight

Just need you to know

I don’t wanna live this lie

I don’t wanna say goodbye

With you I wanna spend the rest of my life

*CHORUS*-repeat

What can I do to make you mine

Falling so hard, so fast this time

Everything’s changed, we never knew

How did I fall in love with you
