Everyone's Not Me

Keeth Stewart:
(SFX: Laughter)
(It's a lie)

Go!

If you think you can do it better, then do it yourself
What's the use of giving advice to someone else?
If you're so smart, then why is loneliness what you teach?
Take your dark heart and go and practice what you preach

Everyone says I'm crazy, and your lies are plain as day
But I don't believe it and my heart does what I say
People think I'm stupid, blind, I just can't see
Everyone can shut up, 'cause everyone's not me

I'm tired of people sticking their two cents in

Keeth Stewart:
(When you're talking about tired, you know what I mean?)

Should have kept it for themselves, ain't it a sin
I have a heart and I have a mind of my own
We love a lot deeper than what we've shown to others, oh

Everyone says I'm crazy, and your lies are plain as day
But I don't believe it and my heart does what I say
People think I'm stupid, blind, I just can't see
Everyone can shut up, 'cause everyone's not me

Keeth Stewart:
(All right)
(I really want you to read my lips)
(I'm gonna leave you alone, 'cause I just can't compete with you)
(You're the only one I want, JoBeth)

Yeah!

Keeth Stewart:
(Go with it, girl)

(Everyone says I'm crazy, and your lies are plain as day)
They say I'm crazy
(But I don't believe it and my heart does what I say)
I don't believe a word they say
(People think I'm stupid, blind, I just can't see)
(Everyone can shut up, 'cause everyone's not me)
Everyone can shut up, 'cause everyone's not me

(Everyone says I'm crazy, and your lies are plain as day)
They say I'm crazy
(But I don't believe it and my heart does what I say)
(People think I'm stupid, blind, I just can't see)
Think I just can't see
(Everyone can shut up)
ooh... ooh...
ooh... ooh...

(Blind, I just can't see)
'Cause everyone's not me

(SFX: whistle)

(So there!)

Keeth Stewart:
(As long as you promise to sing me another tune)

(SFX: ?)

Keeth Stewart:
(Make my day)

Everytime We Say Goodbye

ooh...
Listen

Do you have to go shake your head yes or no
Do you have to tell me it isn't so
Do you wonder why it makes us cry
Everytime we say goodbye

Do you ever give in to what you believe
You know I never want you to leave
Do you wonder why it makes us cry
Everytime we say goodbye

Catch your breath and I'll catch mine
Why does it feel like the end of the world
I've read and I've seen and I've heard
About the power in that word
Goodbye, I know it's not forever
Goodbye, I don't understand
Why it seems so silly to cry
Everytime we say goodbye

I don't see how you've become so far away
I'm around the new friends that I have found
But you mean so much more
I just can't ignore you're the one that I adore

It's so crazy, there's just not a choice
My heart beats just to hear your voice
Do you wonder why it makes us cry
Everytime we say goodbye

Catch your breath and I'll catch mine
Why does it feel like the end of the world
I've read and I've seen and I've heard
About the power in that word
Goodbye, I know it's not forever
Goodbye, I don't understand
Why it seems so silly to cry
Everytime we say goodbye

Funny how when you are younger
You just giggle at a farewell kiss
I never knew it could be like this...
The way you're watching from the outside
You can see what's in a soul
I guess that loving someone makes us whole

Catch your breath and I'll catch mine
Why does it feel like the end of the world
I've read and I've seen and I've heard
About the power in that word
Goodbye, I know it's not forever
Goodbye, I don't understand
Why it seems so silly to cry
Everytime we say goodbye

Say goodbye, say goodbye baby
Say goodbye, say goodbye baby
Say goodbye, say goodbye baby
Say goodbye, say goodbye baby...

Friendly

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Let's get friendly
Let's get friendly

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Give me some friendly advice
Don't ask me twice

Don't twist my arm
Don't resist the power of my lucky charm
Don't wash my number off your hand
'Cause you've got to understand

I'm tied down, so are you
But I'm also in love with you-know-who
We don't have to be an item, just a mutual attraction
I'm stating the fact with a casual reaction

I don't want to be your lover, don't want to be just friends
Rules were made for breaking, rules were meant to bend
So since you can't be mine and I can't be yours completely
Let's not take it slowly, let's be friendly

Try to resist
Just a harmless kiss
We're still so young
No time for getting serious, let's have fun

Who knows in time
Maybe we'll change our mixed up minds
And we'll want so much more
But for now one thing's for sure

I don't want to be your lover, don't want to be just friends
Rules were made for breaking, rules were meant to bend
So since you can't be mine and I can't be yours completely
Let's not take it slowly, let's be friendly

I don't want to be your lover, I don't want to be just friends
Rules are meant for breaking, rules are meant to bend
So since you can't be mine and I can't be yours completely
Let's not take it slowly, let's be friendly

I know the score, I know the circumstances
I see the door, but I just can't get up and leave
(oh no)
I'll follow you when my instincts are leading to you
Don't want to wake up all alone someday
And remember what I forgot to say

I don't want to be your lover, don't want to be just friends
Rules were made for breaking, rules were meant to bend
So since you can't be mine and I can't be yours completely
Let's not take it slowly, let's be friendly

I don't want to be
Rules were meant for breaking, rules are meant to bend
So since you can't be mine and I can't be yours completely
Let's be friendly... yeah

Let's get friendly, baby
(Don't want to be)
Oh, let's get friendly
(I don't want to be your lover, I don't want to be your friend)
Come on, come on, come on now, let's get friendly
(Are meant to bend)
Come on, let's get friendly
(To bend)
Oh, let's get friendly
(I don't want to be your lover, I don't want to be your friend)
Come on, come on, come on now, let's get friendly

Come on, let's get friendly, baby
(I don't want to be)
Let' s get friendly
Come on, come on, come on now, let's get friendly
(Your friend, your friend)
Come on, let's get friendly

Oh, let's get friendly
(I don't want to be your lover, I don't want to be your friend)
Come on, come on, come on now, let's get friendly

Come on, let's get friendly
(I don't want to be your lover, I don't want to be your friend)
Oh, let's get friendly
Come on, come on, come on now, let's get friendly

Come on, let's get friendly
(I don't want to be your lover, I don't want to be your friend)
Oh, let's get friendly
Come on, come on, come on now, let's get friendly

Come on, let's get friendly, baby
(I don't want to be your lover, I don't want to be your friend)
Oh, let's get friendly
Come on, come on, come on now, let's get friendly

Come on, let's get friendly, baby
(I don't want to be your lover, I don't want to be your friend)
Oh, let's get friendly
Come on, come on, come on now, let's get friendly

Have Things Changed

I'm supposed to be in love
I'm supposed to be in deep, yeah
But I'm up another night, hoping everything's all right
And I just can't go to sleep

I just had some words with you
They were nice, but they were few, again
It's times like these when I'm in doubt, do I know what love's about?
Or am I just another fool?

I want to run back to your arms and pick up where we left off
I'm keeping all my promises, 'cause if I ever lost you
I seem so secure, but I'm so unsure
Have things changed

I believe that you still love me
(oh oh oh...)
I believe that you still care, yeah
(You still care)
But do others have a chance, are you in need of romance
Without me there?
(ooh ooh ooh...)

Have your feet left the ground?
Do you realize how precious is the love we found?
Do you know I cry all night, wishing I could hold you tight
When you're not around?
(You're not around)

I want to run back to your arms and pick up where we left off
(ooh ooh...)
I'm keeping all my promises, 'cause if I ever lost you
I seem so secure, but I'm so unsure
Have things changed

I think they have

'Cause I feel jealous of the people who spend time with you
And I'm wondering if they really care like I do
But I hope I'm not just your security blanket
'Cause I really care
It's love...

Well, I may seem so secure, but I'm so unsure
(Have things changed)

I seem so secure, but I'm so unsure
Have things changed

Hip Hop

(Hip hop)
Hip hop move your body
wo wo
Hip hop groove your body
(ooh)

Even the score
On a crowded dance floor
You can dance your butt off
Leave them begging for more
Now's the time to settle the score
With this notion
People look better
When they're caught in motion

Never coming up for air
It's so right
Why don't you care
Don't come down off
This natural high
(Natural high)

Hip hop
Groove your body
Not with just anybody
Hip hop 'til ya drop

Don't mean a thing
Without that swing
Hip hop 'til ya drop then stop
(Stop it)
(ah)
(Ah people keep hip hoppin')
(It don't mean a thing)
Well it don't mean a thing

When the energy flows
The energy flows
Where it stops nobody knows
Lost in time, all alone
You're headed for
The hip hop zone
(huh)

Never coming up for air
When the beat is there
Never failed to get control
oh

Hip hop
Groove your body
Not with just anybody
Hip hop 'til ya drop
oh...
Hip hop, shake what ya got
Don't mean a thing
Without that swing

Got a groove, got a groove
Got a groove, got a groove
Got a groove, got a groove
(Yo, Chris, my homeboy - whee!)
Got a groove, got a groove
oh wo oh oh
(What's up, C?)

Hip hoppin'
On the dance floor
Kickin' it like never before
Showing everybody that I can dance
And if you wanna join me, I'll give you the chance

Snatched Down

Snatched down is a term you need to know to be cool
If you're gonna play the game, gotta play with my rules
Snatched down means fierce from head to toe
No one can tell you when you got it, you just know

You gotta be snatched, boy

Are we ready, so pick me up at ten
So long, honey, I'll see you then
Got some last minute shopping, gonna knock you out
Show you what the shock is all about
Got a cute strapless number, some high heel shoes
And I'm looking like somebody's bad news

Snatched down, baby, all the way around
Looks don't count so long as you're not looking like a clown
Won't be nobody's business, won't be nobody's fool
I won't be seen with nobody who isn't looking
(Cool)
(Shhh!)

Looks aren't anything, this is true
They're everything, look who's looking at you
Look's a reflection of a personality
Need an example?  Well, take a look at me
What could be, what's been, what's out, what's in
Don't you come round here looking like homemade sin

Snatched down, baby, all the way around
Looks don't count so long as you're not looking like a clown
Won't be nobody's business, won't be nobody's fool
I won't be seen with nobody who isn't looking

Snatched down, baby, all the way around
Looks don't count so long as you're not looking like a clown
Won't be nobody's business, won't be nobody's fool
I won't be seen with nobody who isn't looking
(Cool...)

Fashion safe, yeah!
Let's get down and dirty, boys!

Snatched down, baby, all the way around
Looks don't count so long as you're not looking like a clown
Won't be nobody's business, won't be nobody's fool
I won't be seen with nobody who isn't looking

(Snatched down)
Snatched down, baby, all the way around
Looks don't count so long as you're not looking like a clown
Won't be nobody's business, won't be nobody's fool
I won't be seen with nobody who isn't looking
(ooh...)

Snatched down, baby, all the way around
Looks don't count so long as you're not looking like a clown
Won't be nobody's business, won't be nobody's fool
I won't be seen with nobody who isn't looking

Oh, snatched down, baby, all the way around
Looks don't count so long as you're not looking like a clown
Won't be nobody's business, won't be nobody's fool
I won't be seen with nobody who isn't looking

(Cool...)

Ton Of Bricks

Hit me, hit me
Ton of bricks
Hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks

Something unexpected
Something so new
Something so crazy
Crazy like you
I mean, I knew you had a reputation
(Of flirtation)
And I knew you had a messed up mind
But you went and did it this time

You hit me, hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks
You hit me, hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks
You hit me, hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks

You told me all about all the boys you loved
Every single romance you were ever dreaming of
Of course you knew I wasn't shy
(You know I was that type of guy)
I told you open up your eyes and see
I didn't know you had your eye on me

You hit me, hit me, hit me
You hit me, baby
Like a ton of bricks
(Ow)
You hit me, hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks
You hit me, hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks
You hit me, hit me, hit me
You hit me
Like a ton of bricks

You could have prepared me for this shocking experience
(Huh!)
I can't even speak to you
Never mind giving you an answer
We've joked around but were never serious
(At least I never was)
But girl you really went and did it, did it
Girl ya really did it this time

Yeah, ow
Hit me, hit me, hit me

You hit me, hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks
You hit me, hit me
You hit me, hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks

You hit, hit, hit
Hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks
Oh, hit me, hit me, hit me
You hit me, hit me, hit me, yeah
Like a ton of bricks

You hit, hit, hit
Hit me, hit me
Like a ton of bricks
You hit me, hit me
(Ow)
Hit me, hit me, hit me...

The Ways Of The World

(SFX: helicopter, bombs falling; during the opening, sirens kick in)

Change is gonna do
Change is gonna make a world of difference
Change is gonna do
Change is gonna make a world of difference
A world of difference
A world of difference
A world of difference


Look down on your brother
Look down on your sister
Look down on your friend
It's the way of the world

We use weapons more freely than words
Sounds absurd, but it's the way of the world
When the night grows older, never pay a dime(?)
Affection's not so free, when we live so desperately

Oh, the ways of the world
Can't we all change the ways we've thought for so long?
Every boy and girl can help to change the ways of our world

You take from the homeless, take from the hungry
Give it to the lotto, that's the way of the world
They spend twenty hours watching cartoons
Then copy their homework while they waste up their world

With all we can learn and pull our potential
You think we tried it, have more pride in

The ways of the world
Can't we all change the ways we've thought for so long?
Every boy and girl can help to change the ways of our world

The ways of the world
Can't we all change the ways we've thought for so long?
Every boy and girl can help to change the ways of our world

Hey!
ooh... ooh...

The ways of the world
Can't we all change the ways we've thought for so long?
Every boy and girl can help to change the ways

The ways of the world
Can't we all change the ways we've thought for so long?
(ooh...)
Every boy and girl can help to change...

(The ways!)

The ways of the world
Can't we all change the ways we've thought for so long?
Every boy and girl can help to change the ways...

(Of our world)

These are the ways
The ways of the world
ooh...
(These are the ways we've thought for so long)
These are the ways
The ways of the world
These are the ways
The ways of the world
These are the ways
The ways of the world
These are the ways
(The ways we've thought for so long)
These are the ways
(Change the ways of our world)

The ways of the world
Can't we all
Thought for so long...

These are the ways, the ways of our world
The ways of our world
(Ending the strife?)
The ways of our world
(No more war)
The ways of our world
(Drugs and crime)
The ways of our world
(Stop! No more!)
The ways of our world
(Gonna make it right)
The ways of our world
(Stop! No war!)
The ways of our world
(No more drugs)
The ways of our world
(Crime no more)
The ways of our world
The ways of our world
The ways of our world
The ways of our world
The ways of our world
The ways of our world
The ways of our world
The ways of our world
The ways of our world

Worth My Time

You've got to walk on past your crushes
They tell me, "Why waste precious time?"
Baby, let's not ignore the feelings we have
Although they're not lifelong strong
Inside, I feel my insides quiver
Why deny the physical side?
Emotional confidence, security
Hold on me when you hold me

Take it for what it's worth
And that's a good, good thing
Take it for what it's worth
And that's the joy you're bringing to my heart
(Bring it, baby)
Joy, I said joy and peace of mind
Tell you what you're worth
You're worth my time

I adore you so much, but there's just something missing
It's not that you're doing something wrong
In fact, you're doing everything so right
Something's not real inside me, but why dance around the chemistry?
(The chemistry)
I don't want to hear about the way things are supposed to be

So, take it for what it's worth
And that's a good, good thing
Take it for what it's worth
And that's the joy you're bringing to my heart
(Bring it, baby)
Joy, I said joy and peace of mind
Tell you what you're worth
You're worth my time

You're my baby boy emotionally, but I love taking care of you
I will make you strong and soon you'll see
How it feels when the real thing clicks
But for now
ooh ooh...

It's a good thing, it's a good thing
You know, you know, it's a good, good thing
ooh... ooh...

(Take it for what it's worth)
You gotta take it
You gotta take it
Take it away from me

You gotta take it
Joy you're bringing to my heart
Joy, I said joy and peace of mind
You know you're worth my time

You gotta take it
Good, good thing
(Take it for what it's worth)
Take it
Just take it
Take it away

Joy, you know what I'm saying
I'm your baby and you know how I feel
You know the deal
