The Call
[beginning phone convo dialogue]
Shape of My Heart
Baby, please try to forgive me,
Get Another Boyfriend
Backstreet, Check it, huh
I Promise You (With Everything I Am)
It's in the silences
Shining Star
(CHORUS)
Answer To Our Life
You see me sitting here
Everyone
Backstreet [Synthesized voice of Nick]
More Than That
I can see that you've been crying
Time
I know that I, I can't believe
Not For Me
I was looking for something
Yes I Will
I open my eyes I see your face
It's True
Even a lover can make a mistake sometimes
What Makes You Different (Makes You Beautiful)
You're no one in the crowd
How Did I Fall In Love With You
Remember when, we never needed each other
**Phone rings girl picks up
Girl: "Hello?"
AJ: [lot's of people talking in background] "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?"
Girl: "Where are you?"
AJ: [people get louder]:"Wait, wait. Say that again?"
Girl: "Hello?"
AJ: "You're coming in and out I think my battery must be low. Listen if you can hear me we're goin to a place nearby, alright? Gotta go." [click]
Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in misery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
And I, I got a little place nearby
I wanna go, I should have said no
Someone's waiting for me
But I'm gonna go up and see
(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
I'll say again you're drying out my battery it's low
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
I gotta go
Now till it's done nothing's been won
I can't take it back what's done is done
One of her friends found out
That she wasn't the 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
** Break [with repetitive "Baby baby I'm sorry, and "Hello?"]
Let me tell you the story about the call that
changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in misery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
Said I, I got a little wasted bye
Gotta go
Chorus 2X
[sound of phone hanging up]
Stay here, don't put out the glow,
Hold me now don't bother,
With 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,
Played my part,
And kept you in the dark,
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Sadness is beautiful,
Loneliness is a tragical,
So help me,
I can win this war, oh no
Touch me now don't bother,
With every second it makes me weaker.
You can save me from the man that I've become.
Chorus - repeat
I'm here with my confessions,
Got nothin' to hide no more,
I don't know where to start,
But to show you the shape of my heart.
I'm lookin' back on things I've done,
I never wanna play the same old part,
Or keep you in the dark,
Now let me show you the shape of my heart.
Chorus 2X
Show you the shape of my heart.
Hey, yeah
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 essense 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 (To and end)
Get another boyfriend
Let's talk about what, he's done (he's done)
To become your number one
Or was it all the promises of diamonds, pearls and party
Dresses that turn 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, go get on with your life
Stop acting like you've given up
CHORUS - repeat
Hey Yeah ah
Hear me out, you must know
What it's all about, baby
That he's just a player in love
This must come to and end
Get another boyfriend
CHORUS 2X
Get.....another boyfriend
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 (Ooo...)
Love you like I'll never love again
With everything I am (Oh-oo-oo-)
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 oceans 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, I promise
CHORUS - repeat
I promise you
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you 'til death do us part (I love you I love you I love you I love you)
I promise you
As a lover and a friend I will
Love you like I'll never love again
With everything I am
ooh yeah
You're everything I am
oh yeah
With everything I am
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
Oh my my 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
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
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
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
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 a new
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
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 (2X)
We've been through days of thunder
Some people say they don't belong
They try to put us under
But can we stand together and a million 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 the start (You were there)
We know who you are
and this one goes out to you
Chorus - repeat
Everyone, everyone, everyone
Said this one goes out to you
Everyone, wish they had showed us what you done
and this one goes out to you.
Backstreet [more synth voices]
We've been inside the circus (circus music plays a bit)
We take 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
Till it's time to play
Our heart beats are rising
they're letting you in
Time for the show to begin
We, wish they had showed us what you 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 2X
You can't hide it with a lie
What's the use in you denying
That what you have was wrong
I heard him promise you forever
But forevers come and go
Baby he would say whatever
It takes to keep you alive
Tell the truth between the lines, oh
(Chorus)
I will love you more than that
I won't say those 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
Just why you can't be friends
Baby knowing in the end, and
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
And take my hand, don't say goodbye
I will love you more than that
I won't say those words, then take them back
Chorus 2X
Just what the past has brought me
To the man I wanna be
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've 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
Time, goes on and on everyday, baby
Time is what it is
Come what may (come what may)
I remember when, mom used to say
That things are getting better
And you'll soon be on your way
Remeber those days
When we would sing at the drop of a dime (Oooh)
Way back when nothing mattered (Mmm, mm, mm)
Repeat *
Chorus - repeat
So here we are (here we are)
And we'll always stay together
And through it all you know we owe it all to you, you, you, you
Time goes on and on
Time (Time), look where we are and what we've been through
Time (Time), sharing our dreams (sharing our dreams)
Time, (goes on and on) goes on and on everyday
(everyday)
Time is what it is (Time is what is it) - 2X
Come what may
Come what may
On the crime scene where you're in too deep
I found a note with this number
It's just another clue (it 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
You can fool anyone but I 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
I don't want to be on, your screenplay
Just tell me did you rehearse on me?
I'll give you the story
Baby who screwed who? 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 got eyes to see
That you're not for me, baby
Chorus - repeat
Yeah, yeah
I said no, no
No way
No no, No no
NoI had enough of your talk, your games
And it won't go away (won't go away)
Justify my reasons to stay (stay, reasons to stay)
Chorus 2X
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
So these three words I wanna hear from you
Chorus - repeat
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, so these three words I 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 to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you
Oh yes I will
This is no ordinary love
And I can never have enough
Of all the things you've given to me
My heart, my soul, my everything
Every night I thank you Lord (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 (oh baby I will be there)
As God as my witness
I will carry this through
Till death do us part, I promise to you
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, Baby yes I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And start a family with you, baby
Yes I will, Yes I will
Yes I will, I promise you
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
I will
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?
(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
You go your own way
You won't play after dark
You light up my day
You got your own kind of style
That sets you apart
Baby that's why you capture my heart
I know sometimes you feel
Like you don't fit in
And this world doesn't know
What you have within
When I look at you
I see something rare
A rose that can grow anywhere
And there's no one and none that can compete
(CHORUS)
What makes you different, makes you beautiful
What's there inside you
Shining still to me
In your eyes I see
All the love I'll ever need
What makes you different, makes you beautiful
To me
Hey yeah, yeah...
You got something so real
You touch me so deep (touch me so deep)
See what's on your face
No matter to me
So come as you are
You got nothin' to prove
You want me with all that you do
And I wanna take this chance to say to you
CHORUS - repeat
You don't know
How you touch my life
Oh, in so many ways I just can't describe
Tell me what love is supposed to be
It's all the little things that makes you beautiful to me
So beautiful... oh yeah
What makes you
CHORUS - repeat
Everything is so (so...) beautiful
Nothing shines like you, babe
Everything in you is beautiful, oh
You're beautiful to me
To me...
The best of friends like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be
Alone
Those days are gone, and I want so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight
(Chorus)
What can I do, to make it right
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 want to be, Alone tonight
Chorus - repeat
Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah
I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life
Chorus - repeat
What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew
How did I fall, in love, with you?
