Help Me
I wish I could define
All the thoughts that cross my mind
They seem to big for me to choose
I don't know which ones to lose
And I've fallen down so far
I think I'll never see your light
Bouncing off of me
Shining down here from your eyes

CHORUS:
Help me
Figure out the difference
Between right and wrong, weak and strong
Day and night where I belong
Help me
Make the right decision
Know which way to turn lessons to learn
And just what my purpose is here

It's like I got the signals crossed
With messages I can't decode
Half asleep never wide awake
I'm on complete overload

I got so much information here
And nothin I can really grasp
I should know the truth
But I'm too afraid so I have to ask

CHORUS

Wanna know you
More than anything
I need you
In my every dream
You're there for me
You love me
For who I am
No angel
Just an ordinary man

Help me figure out
Why I'm stuck in the middle
Tryin to understand
Why I can't quite, it's such a riddle
Got my eyes crossed
Thinkin so hard
And I know I'm missin the mark

Can you help me sort out
All this information
I'm just rackin my brain
Payin attention
But I'm still lost
And at all costs
I
I gotta know (I GOTTA KNOW!! KNOW!!)

CHORUS




My Confession
I'm just trying to figure out
What's wrong with your head
Everytime I look around
You're somewhere else instead
I wanna ask you why
But every time I try you cry

And I want you to know
When you're floating in space
And I want you to know
If you ever come back down
And I need you to know

CHORUS:
I wanna breathe you
I wanna feel you near
This is my confession
I wanna see what you see
When you cry those tears

Baby just a second
What am I to do
Maybe it's obession, yeah
This is my confession, yeah

I confess, everytime I come around
Somethings always got you down
I don't understand why
But if you wanna tell me
I'll be the angel on your shoulder baby
I'll be the man that you confide in

But can't seem to run and get you out of that place
Cause everything you do is just whoa
Erasing the pain and the hatred inside
I can't ask why

And I want you to know
When you're floating in space
And I want you to know
If you ever come back down
And I need you to know

CHORUS

I wanna breathe you
I wanna feel you near

Baby just a second
What am I to do
Maybe it's obsession
This is my confession

And I want you to know
When you're floating in space
And I want you to know
If you ever come back down
If you ever come back down

CHORUS 2x




I Stand For You
I'm gonna run forever, say whatever
Take a chance in, what I believe in
I'm gonna have a tattoo, I'm gonna have an attitude
So tell my girlfriend that I'm leaving
'Cause I'm free yea, to say what I wanna say
And I'm feelin' that it's time to get away

CHORUS:
Woh woh, we can live forever if we try
It's up to you
Yeah, yeah and nothing's gonna stop us now
We're young....I stand for you

See I'm a taker, I'm not a beggar
I'm tired of losin', I'm gonna lose it
I'm gonna ride a harley, oh on the highway
I'm gonna do it my way, I'm gonna do it my way
'Cause I'm free, yeah to say what I wanna say
And I'm feelin' that it's time to get away

CHORUS

Pressure in the air, in my hair, people everywhere
Politics don't care, need to ease my mind
Try to find a way, better day, but it's time to get away
Don't you care?

CHORUS




Do I Have To Cry For You?
Don't wanna close the door
Don't wanna give up on it
Don't wanna fight no more
We'll find a way around it
Where's the love we had?
We can make it last

CHORUS:
Tell me what I gotta be
Tell me what you wanna do
'Cause I can't live my life
The way you want me to
You know I can't go on
Living like we do
Do I have to cry for you?
Do I have to cry for you?

So tell me what it's for
If there's no winner in it?
Nobody's keeping score
Let's start from the beginning
Can we make it last
With the love we have?

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Do I gotta stand in the cold dark night
'Til the morning light
Do I have to say
I won't let you get away?

CHORUS

You know I can't go on
Living like we do
Do I have to cry for you?
Do I have to cry for you?



Girls in the USA
To all my girls in the USA
Ya got a fine thing goin
So I gotta say
You been good to me
So now I'm down
Gotta drop the line
Gotta give em a shout

LA girls give me the sign
See you on the strip
Lookin too damn fine
My Texas honey's
Always on the road
Gimme lots of love at the Alamo
To my DC girls
Workin 9-5
With the business suits
Keep the country in line
All the Tampa girls
Lemme hear ya scream
On the Ybor strip
Walkin on the street

CHORUS:
Why
Does she walk that way
Walk that way
Why
She spends my money the American way
Why
Coast to coast
New York to LA
To all my girls in the USA

I got a little thing in the Denver hills
A real fine mama
With sex appeal
And Boston's got the ones I love
With the college girls
At the Aria
And I've always been down with the NYC
Cuz I love the legs
Of miss Liberty
Hawaii girls
Give me the lei
When I wanna treasure hunt
For some canday
And I still gotta get my desert fix
With some Vegas girls
Who know special tricks
To my Carolina girls
Lemme rock you all
To my Jersey girls
Chillin at the mall

CHORUS

Girls in the USA
She'll make it hot when ya
Girls in the USA
Shake what you got for me
From the east coast
To the west coast
All around the world we're singin
Girls in the USA
She'll make it hot when ya
Girls in the USA
Shake what ya got for me
From the north town
To the dirty south
All around the world we're singin

To all the girls
That I might've missed
Don't take offense
You're on my list
If you wanna yell
Lemme hear ya say
God bless the girls of the USA

CHORUS




I Got You
People tell me
You stay where you belong
But all my life I've tried
To prove them wrong

They say I'm lookin for
Something that can't be found
They say I'm missing out
My feet don't touch the ground

But there are moments
When you can't deny what's true
Just an ordinary day
Like when I met you

CHORUS:
It's funny how life can take new meaning
You came and changed what I believe in
The world on the outside's trying to pull me in
But they can't touch me cuz I got you

I want to thank you
For all of the things you've done
And most for choosing me
To be the one

CHORUS

And it hits me when I reach for you
That I'm afraid you won't be there
Maybe I am in too deep
But I don't care

I gotta prove them wrong
I've got you
Can't deny what's true
They can't touch me
Baby
I got you



Is It Saturday Yet?
I'm a product of the nation
My Nintendo's on the floor
On a permanent vacation
Momma's bangin at my door

Na na na
She's screamin at me
But I don't wanna understand
And I go oooooooh
It goes on and on and on

CHORUS:
Is it Saturday yet
Cuz I wanna get up
Is it Saturday yet
It just feels like a Saturday
Baby
Is it Saturday yet
I just wanna get up
Is it Saturday yet
Cuz it feels like a Saturday
Baby
Is it Saturday

I was raised by the television
Jerry Springer was my dad
And it wouldn't matter
If Martha Stewart was my mother
And Aaron Carter was my brother
Cuz I'd still be bad

I'm a product of the nation
I'm the last generation

Na na na
They won't stop screamin
And I don't think they understand
And I go oooooooh
It goes on and on and on

CHORUS

Information overload
Comin through my mind
That I can't control
In the back of my head
Are the eyes that I see
That has got to be
A side of me
(repeat)

And I go ohhhhhhhhh
She's screamin at me
But I don't wanna understand

CHORUS

I was raised by the television
And Jerry Springer was my brother
And mother's cousin was the uncle of my sister's -



Blow Your Mind
Girl
I saw you dancing
I'm lookin like trash
Yet you're glancin

I said hello
I'm a rockstar
She said I don't care who you are
Just take me with you
And I will blow your mind

CHORUS:
This girl was crazy
Completely out of line
But how she amazed me
I should've seen her blind
I guess she blew my mind

So we've gone past dating
She's spending my cash
And I'm up waiting

I said baby
Why the new car?
She said
I'm the girlfriend of a star
Just let me handle this
And I will blow your mind

CHORUS

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I should've seen her blind
I guess she blew my mind

So typically me
Always fallin for the easy
And now I can't breathe
So typically me
Always fallin for the easy
And when you can't see
She's gonna blow your mind

CHORUS



Miss America
Early mornin
A small cafe
A beautiful vision
Comes my way

I watch her hips swing
When she walks
She leaves me speechless
When she talks

I see the sunshine through her dress
Makes my heart say
Take it off take it off
Let's get it on get it on
Light a fire so sweet
Make the man within me
Desire the woman in you

CHORUS:
Miss America
Yes that's what you are
All my dreams they come true
When you do what you do
I just gotta get next to you
Miss America
Take me where you are
In the land of the free
Make a prisoner of me
Close my eyes and you're all that I see
Miss America

I see your beauty shine in every girl
Coast to coast
You're the queen of my world
You're the reason for this state I'm in
New York to LA
Skin to skin

Take it off take it off
Let's get it on get it on
Makes me strong
Makes me weak
Makes the man within me
LOVE the woman in you

CHORUS

There's one thing you need to know
Oh woman
You rock my world cuz you're so
Beautiful

Miss America
Yes that's what you are
Miss America
Take me where you are

CHORUS



I Just Want to Take You Home
Girl I dunno what to say
I feel so insecure
So I start off by sayin a cliche
Like I've seen you before

Yeah
But why play games
All these dates
Who needs flowers
When all you wanna say is

CHORUS:
I just wanna take you home
We can make a story of our own
Please don't get me wrong
I just wanna

Don't you hate it when you sweat
And it makes you go real numb
Then you get that feeling of regret
And it makes you wanna run

But then I am playing nice
Meeting your parents
When all I wanna say is

CHORUS

Tell me that you feel the same
Someone please explain
Why we have to play games
Instead of just saying

CHORUS




Heart Without A Home (I'll Be Yours)
Girl I love to watch you
You're like candy to my eyes
Like a movie that you've seen
But gotta watch just one more time
With that smile you're wearing
It's a beautiful disguise
It's just something you put on
To hide the emptiness inside

And you seem so lonely
But you don't have to anymore

CHORUS:
If you're a heart without a home
A rebel without a cause
If you feel as though you're always
Stranded on the shore
Like a thief in the night
Lemme steal your heart away
Baby if a reason's what you're lookin for
I'll be yours

I'll be yours

I'll be a new sensation
One you've never had before
I got a feeling if I gave you some
You'd probably want some more
Did you know that baby
You're the bluebird in my sky
I only wanna make you happy
Cuz I love to see you fly

And if you feel lonely
You don't have to anymore

CHORUS

I'll be yours

I'll be yours
I'll be the raft in the tide
I'll be yours
I'll be the truth in the lie
And once more
When no one opens the door
I'll be the home that you're lookin for

CHORUS

If you're a heart without a home
A rebel without a cause
If you feel as though you're always
Stranded on the shore
Like a theif in the night
Lemme steal your heart away
Baby if a reasons what you're lookin for
I'll be yours

I'll be yours




Who Needs the World
I stare at your face
Into your eyes
Outside there's so much
Passing us by

All of the sounds
All of the sights
Over the earth
And under the sky

Too much cold
And too much rain
Too much heartache
To explain

CHORUS:
Who needs the world
When I've got you
Switch off the sun
The stars and the moon
I've all I need inside of this room
Who needs the world
When I've got you

I walk on the street
Talk in the dark
I see perfect strangers
Falling apart

I open my arms
Try to be true
Seems like my only truth
Is you

Am I wrong
Or am I right
All I want is you tonight

CHORUS

Who needs the stars so bright
And the grass so green
In the morning light
Who needs the wind to blow
And the tide to rise
Who needs it?
I don't know

I don't know

Chorus out...




End of Forever
Running from all the situations
Ya mess me up, bring me down
I'm waiting for the right moment
To lift me up, let you in my life, yeah
Don't wanna live inside without your love
Cuz no one else can make me feel this way

CHORUS:
To love me, is gonna take a lot
I can't wait til the end of forever
Lead me, ain't nothin gonna stop
Could it be tonight, or til the end of forever, oh yeah

Driving on a runaway freeway
It's killing me, I know it's eatin you
Oh, dreaming so we can go there
All we need is you to show me the way, oh yeah
Can you see the fear of tears in my eyes
I know you feel me baby, I gotta make you mine, yeah

CHORUS

All my life I've been waiting for a sign to show me
To lead me to the other side

CHORUS 2x



Payback
It's a payback
Get outta my face
Get outta my pocket
Get off of your free ride
And get right out of my sight
It's a payback
Get off of my case
Get off of my lady
Get into your fat Mercedes
And right outta my life (2x)

You walk in, right into my world
Right into my backyard
I gave to you all that I got
You gave to me jack
And you pretend
To be my friend
But you're surounded
When all this time you're turning
A knife in my back

CHORUS

How does it feel to be down on your knees
Tell me, how does it feel for ya
How does it feel to be down on your knees
Tell me, how does it feel for ya

I'm chilling with the boys from the south
Better make a word cause you know it's gonna go down
I say everything that you say
And by the way did you say that you couldn't make a better day
Better leave real quick cause you know me
Everything I do, everything I fake
It's a payback, and it's all
Better listen to the words of the song

CHORUS

You say you're sorry now
That you feel bad about it
You make it up to me
There ain't no doubt about it
You must think I'm a fool
That I was born yesterday
Some kinda simple sucker
There's nothing you can say
You stupid motherf**ker

Payback
Payback

CHORUS




Forever Rebel
I got no education
Got no communication
Don't need no one to waste my time
Don't need no face to tell me
Don't need no one to sell me
Won't be convicted for your crime, alright
Everybody has to be somebody they don't wanna be
But I, wanna be, I wanna be free

CHORUS:
'Cause I'm a little bit o'love
A little bit o' hate
A little bit of me that you can't break
You know that I will be forever rebel
'Cause I'm a little bit o'soul
A little bit o' lust
A little piece of me that you can't trust
Baby, I will be forever rebel

Yo! It's like 1, 2 ,3 and to the 4
Everybody's here, got the cops knocking at my door
somebody call 911
I'm on probation but the party's just begun
I got no obligation
To fix my situation
Don't need no one to pick me up
I want the satisfaction
That comes from your reaction
I wanna feel it in my blood, Oh yeah
Everybody has to be somebody that they don't wanna be
But I, wanna be, I wanna be free

CHORUS

Everybody has to be somebody that they don't wanna be
But I, wanna be, I wanna be free

CHORUS 2x

Na na na na na....
I will be forever rebel
