Chorus



As Long As You Love Me

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all ina glance
How you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

Chorus
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we were meant to be

Chorus

Bridge
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're from
I don't care, as long as you love me

Chorus


All I Have To Give

I don't know what he does to make you cry,
But I'll be there to make you smile.
I don't have a fancy car,
to get to you I'd walk a thousand miles.
I don't care if he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart-I don't know...
But if you were my girl...
I'd make it so we'd never be apart

Chorus
But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I could live
I wish I could give the world to you...but
Love is all I have to give

When you talk-does it seem like he's not
even listening to a word you say?
That's okay babe, just tell me your problem
I'll try my best to kiss them all away...
Does he leave when you need him the most?
Does his friends get all your time?
Baby please...I'm on my knees
Praying for the day that you'll be mine!!

Chorus

Bridge
To you...Hey girl, I don't want you to cry no more-inside
All the mobey in the world could never add up yo all the love
I have inside...I love you

Bass break
And I will give it all to you
All I can give, all I can give
Everything I have is for you

Drum break & Chorus 3x and out
But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you...but
Love is all I have to give




That's The Way I Like It

Hey-yea-yeah

That's the way I like it

Somebody told me that you're not my kind
So have I lost my mind
You keep on doing all the things I like
You've got me hypnotized
But that's the way I like it
Girl you make me wanna move
It's a price I gotta pay
For all things you do
But I like it
Gotta listen to the groove
And you gotta listen well
The way I throw it

Chorus
That's the way I like it
Everybody now
I like it
Eveybody now
That's the way I like it
Everybody come on
I like it
Everybody come on
That's the way I like it

Oh mystery lady
You got something I like
Tell me you're here to stay
You're dangerous so baby
Could you do me right
Will you come out to play
'Cause that's the way I like it
Gotta listen to the groove
And you gotta listen well
'Cause that's the way I throw it

Chorus

Everybody now
I like it
Everybody come on
Gotta listen to the groove
And you gotta listen well
The way I throw it

That's the way that I like it
That is the way I like it (8x)
(Chorus in background)

That's the way I like it




10 000 Promises

 

Once we were lovers
Just lovers we were
Oh what a lie
Once we were dreamers
Just dreamers we were
Both you and I
Now I see your just somebody who
Wastes all my time and heartache
What a lie
You and I

Chorus
What about your
Your 10,000 promises
That you gave to me
Your 10,000 promises
That you promised me
Once I could handle the truth
When the truth was you and I
But time after time the promises
Turned out to be all lies
Now I see your just somebody
Who wasted my time and heartache
What a lie (Oh what a lie)
You and I (Oh you and I)

Chorus

You said "I'll take you back"
But I closed the door
'Cause I don't want
10,000 more

10,000 promises yeah
10,000 promises you gave to me

Chorus (x 2)

Once we were lovers
Just lovers we were
Oh you and I
What a lie

Like A Child

If I could right all the wrongs that made you cry
Would you promise not to say goodbye?
'Cause I'm holding on
With a love so strong
And I can't take a day without you by my side

Girl if I could change
If I could change your mind
Baby you could help me wipe these tears from my eyes

Chorus
Girl don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
'Cause I can't face another day without your smile
And if you take away the loving arms ,the suit around me
Then I may break down and cry just like a child

Girl, I can't belong and I won't be free
If I fail to bring your lovin' back to me
So I'm pressin' on
I hope you understand
There's a broken heart that lies inside your hands

So if I could change
And it won't hurt your pride
Baby you can help me stop these tears that I cry

Chorus


Extended Chorus
Like a child
Just like a child
With the spirits running free
She showed me why
Oh, she did

Like a child(oh baby)
Just like a child
Think of what our love could be
If our hearts could set us free
Like a child

Chorus

Hey Mr. DJ (Keep Playin' That Song)

One time
Here we go

Ohhhh-oh-ohhhh-oh-oh (4x)

I could tell when I stepped in the room
And I saw you standing there
Baby by the way that you moved
I couldn't helpthe way I stared
There was some mysterious force
Leading me here to you
Lead me to you
So I stood there watching
And I was hypnotized
By the rythem of your body
And the music in your eyes
I was lost inside this world with you
Ooh

Chorus
Hey Mr DJ keep playing this song for me
Out on the floor in my arms
She's gotta be
Let's get it on
(Let's get it on)
Jam all night long
Mr. DJ
Mr. DJ

Ohhhh-oh-ohhhh-oh-oh (4x)

Now it feels like it could be romance
As we dance across the floor
Every move that your body makes
Only makes me want you more
And it seems like time is moving fast
How can we make it last
Make it last
As you keep on dnacing
I am hypnotized
By the rythem of your body
And the music in your eyes
I was lost inside this world with you
Ooh

Chorus

Close your eyes
And imagine yourself
(Just imagine yourself)
Let the music
Put you in a zone
Are you lost
Lost inside a groove
When you do the bits you do
Come on and work your body
Work your body

Hey Mr.DJ
Jam all night long
Hey Mr.DJ
Play that song for me
Hey Mr.DJ
Jam all night long
Hey Mr.DJ
Play that song for me

Chorus (3x)

Keep it comin' Mr.DJ ('till fade)


Set Adrift On Memory Bliss

The days gone
And all I do is think of you
And wonder where you are at night
I remember everything
Every smile
And even all the
Reasons why you say
I pushed you out of my life

Chorus
Baby you set me
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory's bliss of you

Destiny means everything
Reality's replaced you with the
Biggest empty void I've ever had in life (Had in life)
I bet you say that I don't care
I bet you say that I don't even think of you
But God knows how wrong you are
Baby will you be there
Just give me time (Just give me time)
To fix my life (To fix my life)
Baby will you be there
When I open my eyes
After all the time I've spent
Wishing for you

Chorus

Sadness that overwhelmed me
Modifies carelessely
Images that you're happy with your life right now
I guess that's just the way it goes
Forever's gone
Now I must place you
With all the things that I can never have

Chorus

I know this much is true
I know this much is true
You
You
You



That's What She Said

There are people that say what you want hear
Even on a rainy day they'll tell you that the sky is clear
When you really, really love someone
Am I right when I say that you want them near
And if you can't even tell them things that they want to hear

Always, forever are things she said
Never, say never the simple lies she made
I will never leave you, all the love I thought she had

But can you blame me, no?
'Cause that's what she said

Chorus:
That's what she said
She told me we'd see forever
That's what she said
She said yeah

And there are people who say what they really mean
She said she'd always be there
She said she'd always care
But just when you think that you can trust that someone you love
Tell me why do you know how stars can fall from above

Always, forever were things she said
Never, say never those simple lies she made
I will never leave you, all the love I thought she had

But can you blame me, no?
'Cause that's what she said

Chorus:
That's what she said
She told me we'd see forever
That's what she said
Oh yeah
That's what she said
She' told me we'd be together
That's what she said
She said yeah

Cause you made promises you couldn't keep
(ooh)
But you're not hurting yourself, your only hurting me
Why would you say things you really didn't mean?
Oh how can I make yous ee just what you did to me?

Oh you said how much you really cared
Just when I thought I was in love
Oh girl how could you leave?
If I were you I could not lie even once
To the face of the one I love so much

Always, forever are things she said
Never, say neevr those simple lies she made
I will never leave you, all the love I thought she had

But can you blame me, no?
'Cause that's what she said

Chorus


Anywhere For You

I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you asked me to
I'd do anything for you
Anything you asked me to

I'd walk around the world
For just a kiss from you
Far beyond the call of love
The sun, the starts, the moon
As long as your love's there to lead me
I won't lose my way, believe me
Even through the darkest night you know

Chorus
I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you asked me to
I'd do anything for you
Anything you asked me to
Your love as far as I can see
Is all I'm ever gonna need
There's one thing know for sure
I know it's true
Baby, I'd go anywhere for you

I used to think that dreams were just
For sentimantal fools
And I'd never find someone
Who'd give their love so true
But I knew the very minute
I couldn't live my life without you in it
And now I want the whole world wide world to know

Chorus

Hey baby, het baby, hey baby, oohhh (3x)

Chorus (2x)

Chorus

If you really want it good (until fade)


If I Don't Have You

Everyday
Girl I wake up and pray
That you'll come back home
And don't take to long
'Cause since you've been gone
Everything's gone a bit wrong
I wish you were here
Holding me near

You know I'd go
Out of my mind
If you ever left
My heart behind
So I'm begging you please
Bring your sweet love back to me

Chorus
If I don't have you
(Don't have you)
To hold on to
(To hold on to)
I can't go on this world alone
Baby it's true
(Baby it's true, if I don't have you)
If you said good-bye
(You said good-bye)
Girl I would die
(Girl I would die)
I'm a star with no light
A day with no night
If I don't have you

Late at night I reach to hold you tight
But you're not there (You're not just there, baby)
I know you still care (I know you still care)
And all over me is your softest love, lovely kiss
You give to me, so tenderly

We used to feel
The time was stand still
When I see you, baby you will
So hurry now, you know you made me do so.

Chorus 3x
