. . .


I may run and hide
When you're screamin' my name, alright
But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
All of our time spent in flashes of light

CHORUS
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life

Looking at the crowd
And I see your body swing, c'mon
Wishin' I could thank you in a different way, c'mon
'Cause all of your time spent keeps us alive

CHORUS - repeat

that's right

All of your time spent keeps us alive

CHORUS - repeat

Yeah, every time we're down
Yeah, you can make it right
Yeah, and that's what makes you larger than life

CHORUS - repeat

. . .


Yeah-he

You are, my fire
The one, desire
Believe
When I say
I want it that way

But we, are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

[Chorus:]
(Tell me why)
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
(Tell me why)
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Am I, your fire?
Your one, desire?
Yes I know, it's too late
But I want it that way

[Chorus]

Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me...

You are, my fire
The one, desire
You are
(You are, you are, you are)

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (Aww, yeah)
I want it that way

(Tell me why)
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
(Tell me why)
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say (I wanna hear you say)
I want it that way

(Tell me why)
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say (I wanna hear you say)
I want it that way

Cuz I want it that way

Show me the meaning of being lonely

So Many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I can feel the sun
Your every wish will be done

They tell me...

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze if only...
Guilty roads to an endless love
(Endless love)
There's no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done

They tell me...
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
(Tell me why)
Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
(Tell me why)
Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Show me the meaning of being lonely
(Being lonely)
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

. . .

Open up your heart to me
And say what's on your mind
I know that we have been through so much babe,
But I still need you in my life this time, and...

CHORUS
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
i really need you tonight

I figured out what to say to you
But sometimes the words come out so wrong
And I know in time that you will understand
That what we have is so right this time, and...

CHORUS
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right

All those endless times we tried to make it last forever more
And baby I know
I need you
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
'Cause i see heaven
CHORUS
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
No, it doesn't matter if it's wrong or it's right
'Cause i see heaven in your eyes

. . .


Don't... don't want you back

You hit me faster than a shark attack
You saw my picture
On the Backstreet's Back, alright
And you were more than just a pretty face
But how you fooled me, I'm still amazed babe
But I should have known that I would be
Another victim of your sexuality
But now we're done and over with
Don't... don't want you back

CHORUS
Don't want you back
'Cause you're no good for me
I know
That's all I can say
Don't want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I,I don't want you back

You started going out with so-called friends
But I was blind and so I lost all common sense
But there were things that made me realize(realize)
Like all the hundred no, thousand lies

CHORUS - repeat

(Baaaaaaaak a no no!)
I, I don't want you back

That's right

Baby, don't bother telling me your reasons why

Just let us sing this story 'bout you and I
Don't want you back
That's all I know
Don't want you back
All I can say
Don't want you back
You know you gotta go

CHORUS - repeat

. . .


I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you, baby
Girl if only I knew what I've done
You know, so why don't you tell me
And I, I would bring down the moon and the sun
To show how much I care

CHORUS
Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No no, or ever again

I've got this feeling you're not gonna stay
It's burning within me
The fear of losing
Of slipping away
It just keeps getting closer, baby
Whatever reason to leave that I've had
My place was always beside you
And I wish that I didn't need you so bad
Your face just won't go away

CHORUS - repeat

I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you
Don't want to lose to loneliness
Girl I know we can win
Don't want to lose to emptiness, oh no
Never again

CHORUS - repeat

. . .


I'll be the one...

I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more of them mysteries and lies

There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

CHORUS
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one...

To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright
'Cause my fear is gone
And I want to take you from darkness to light

There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

CHORUS - repeat

To hold you, and make sure that you'll be alright...

You need me like I need you
We can share our dreams comin' true
I can show you what true love means
Just take my hand, baby please

I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run

CHORUS - repeat

I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it all right
I'll be the one
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright
I'll be the one

. . .


It's not that I can't live without you
It's just that I don't even want to try
Every night I dream about you
Ever since the day we said goodbye
If I wasn't such a fool
Right now I'd be holding you
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do
Baby if I only knew

CHORUS
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart

I don't know how it got so crazy
But I'll do anything to set things right
'Cause your love is so amazing
Baby you're the best thing in my life
Let me prove my love is real
And make you feel the way I feel
I promise I would give the world
If only you would tell me girl

CHORUS - repeat
Give me one more chance, to give my love to you
'Cause no one on this earth loves you like I do,
tell me

CHORUS - repeat

I turn back time
To make you mine
And find a way back to your heart
I beg and plead
Fall to my knees
To find a way back to your heart

(Background)
These Arms of mine
Are open wide
From now until the end of time
You are my world what can i do?
This heart of mine belongs to you

CHORUS - repeat

. . .


Here we are in the arms of one another
And we still go on searching for each other
Knowing that hate is wrong and love is right
for us tonight

When I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight

CHORUS
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes

Let it be if we're nothing more than dreamers
Who believe that we see no wall between us
How can they be in my heart and in my mind,
when all I could find

When I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight

CHORUS - repeat

I loved you from a distant star
I couldn't reach that far
I can't believe how close that we are
When I look into your Spanish eyes
And the world is so beautiful tonight

CHORUS - repeat

. . .


When we turn out the lights
The two of us alone together
Something's just not right
But girl you know that I would never
Ever let another's touch, come between
the two of us

'Cause no one else will ever take your place

CHORUS
No one else comes close to you
No one makes me feel the way you do
You're so special girl to me
And you'll always be eternally
Every time I hold you near
You always say the words I love to hear
Girl with just a touch you can do so much
No one else comes close

And when I wake up to
The touch of your head on my shoulder
You're my dream come true, oh yeah
Girl you know I'll always treasure
Every kiss and everyday I love you girl in
every way
And I always will, 'cause in my eyes

CHORUS - repeat (x2)

Damn i love you

. . .


It takes a lot to know what is love
It's not the big things, but the little things
That can mean enough
A lot of prayers to get me through
And there is never a day that passes by
I don't think of you
You were always there for me
Pushing me and guiding me
Always to succeed

CHORUS
You showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
'Cause mom you always were
The perfect fan

God has been so good
Blessing me with a family
Who did all they could
And I've had many years of grace
And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face
I wanna thank you for what you've done
In hopes I can give back to you
And be the perfect son

CHORUS - repeat

You showed me how to love
You showed me how to care
And you showed me that you would
always be there
I wanna thank you for that time
And I'm proud to say you're mine

CHORUS - repeat

'Cause mom you always were,
mom you always were
Mom you always were,
you know you always were'
Cause mom you always were... the perfect fan

I love you mom

. . .


Don't say a word.
I understand.
You wanna know
If I'm still your man.

Girl, can't you tell,
By the touch of my hand,
I'm gonna please you
Every way that I can?

I'll hold you... [hold you]
Love you... [love you]

So honestly.

Deep in my soul
Baby, you'll find the truth.
I'll never change
Girl, I promise you.

You'll always be here inside of my heart (inside my heart)
And just as sure as the stars shine above (oooh)
No matter what happens

[I'll never leave you, girl]
Girl...I've got forever inside

{...fade out...}

. . .


When I first met you my life turned a page
Chapter one was how true love was made
You taught me with your kiss
Things about romance I'd missed

You knew everything from A to Z
What pleases you and what pleases me
Girl when you touch me
I began to understand (Ohhh)

CHORUS
You, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
So I know everything about you
Oh you, you wrote the book on love
Girl I just can't get enough of your love
I know you wrote the book on love

(Oh Brian help me sing)

Each time I hold you
I find something new
'Cause I know what I love about you baby
Girl I discovered
You bring out the lover in me (yeah, yeah)
Your like a fire that burns in my soul
Like a volcano I'm ready to blow
'Cause everytime I look at you I feel
Love I can't explain (ohhh)

CHORUS

I hear what your heart is saying to me
I see the picture so clearly
I'm thirsty for the knowledge true love brings, baby
When you're near me

You wrote the book on love
Girl I just can't get enough of you
Oh you wrote the book

Oh you, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
'Cause you, babe you wrote the book

CHORUS

You wrote the book on love
You wrote the book on love
