Jordin Sparks Album

No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
I keep my hand in the fire
Sooner or later I get what I'm asking for

No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
The truth is a stranger, soul is in danger
I gotta let my spirit be free

To admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind

I can't waste time so give me the moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one

Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo

Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you
(I'll always have you)

I'm sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking time
When I looked in the mirror, didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could stop

Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I've gotta be strong and leave you behind

I can't waste time so give me the moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one

Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo

Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you
(I'll always have you)

If I live every moment
Won't change any moment
It's still a part of me and you

I will never regret you
Still the memory of you marks everything I do

I can't waste time so give me the moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one

Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo

I can't waste time so give me the moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one

Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo

Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

[Chorus:]
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

[Chorus:]
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

(feat. Chris Brown)

Tell me how I'm supposed 2 breathe with no air?

[Jordin Sparks:]
If I should die before I wake
It's cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh

[Chris Brown:]
I'm here alone didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move it's incomplete
If there was a way that I could make you understand

[Hook: Jordin Sparks]
But how do you expect me to live alone with just me? cause my world revolves around you it's so hard for me to breathe

[Chrous: Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon breathe without me?
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air [x4]

[Chris Brown:]
I walk, I ran, I jump, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
WIth no gravity to hold me down forreal

[Jordin Sparks:]
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breathe but I survived
I don't how but I don't even care

[Hook: Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown]
So how do you expect me to live alone with just me? cause my world revolves around you it's so hard for me to breathe

[Chrous: Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown]
Tell me how I'm supposed 2 breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon breathe without me?
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air [x4]
No more
It's no air, no air

[Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown:] OH

[Chrous: Jordin Sparks&Chris Brown]
Tell me how I'm supposed 2 breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breathe with no air

Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon breathe without me?

Hold the pose, a perfect picture
Just so I remember how you're looking tonight
Let it go, now the days gone
Standing in the dark, although we've turned on the lights

Tonight we will deny, that time is passing by
It's leaving you and I to...

Freeze
A moment, it's never been better
Freeze
All over, we won't last forever
You said that you're sorry for pushing me
But then smiled when I opened my eyes
I'm gonna
Freeze
A moment, while we're together

Keep the peace, by gones be gone
Coming up the rain under the life that we've made
Under here, we're not so soft
Forgiving the feeling that we put on parade

Tonight we will deny, that time is passing by
It's leaving you and I to...

Freeze
A moment, it's never been better
Freeze
All over, we won't last forever
You said that you're sorry for pushing me
But then smiled when I opened my eyes
I'm gonna
Freeze
A moment, while we're together

Don't stop, gotta know what you got
There's no second chances in life
Don't break, gotta give what you take
With you

Freeze
A moment, it's never been better
Freeze
All over, we won't last forever

Freeze
A moment, it's never been better
I Freeze
All over, we won't last forever
You looked at me with the truth in your eyes
And you said it's ok, you can go
I'm gonna
Freeze
This moment, while we're together

Freeze
A moment

Are you a shy?

Were in the door, I get a smile from a fly boy
He seen me before and makes his move like a fly boy
I'm sick and tired of them fly boys
It's bye bye boy

I'm in a lounge, I get a wink from a bad boy
He comes around all puffed up like a bad boy
I'm sick and tired of them bad boys

[Chorus:]
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind be a shy boy
So I gotta know
Are you a shy boy?

I'm by the stage, I get a look from a rock boy
He's got the shades on indoors like a rock boy
I'm sick and tired of them rock boys
It's bye bye boy

Out on the floor, I get the moves from a home boy
Trying to score, his body rocks like a home boy
I'm sick and tired of them home boys

[Chorus:]
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind be a shy boy
So I gotta know
Are you a shy boy?

Freak boy
Fresh boy
Slick boy
You're messing with a tom boy
Might just know you out like a school boy
Crude boy
Playboy
Cowboy
I heard it all before, boy
I'm going out to get me a shy boy

[Chorus:]
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind be a shy boy
So I gotta know

[Chorus:]
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind be a shy boy
So I gotta know
Are you a shy boy?

Shy boy

Is there anything, that, could make, you happy
I don't know, what to say, to make it, better
Seeing you like this, down and hurt, so badly
When you have been, so kept, together

[Hook:]
What's this
All this time, I thought, you didn't, need me
Now I've gone, from you, and now, you tell me

[Chorus:]
You're in love, but, that's not, what it was
All those times, that passed by
With no signs, and now, you're, telling me
You miss me, boy, why couldn't, I see
And my heart, don't agree
With what, you're, telling me

You were, nonchalant, strong and, unaffected
And you never, wanted me, to be there
I never saw, your heart, that's how, closed you kept it
So right now, I'm so unsure, how to care

[Hook:]
What's this
All this time, I thought, you didn't, need me
Now I've gone, from you, and now, you tell me

[Chorus:]
You're in love, but, that's not, what it was
All those times, that passed by
With no signs, and now, you're, telling me
You miss me, boy, why couldn't, I see
And my heart, don't agree
With what, you're, telling me

You're in love, but, that's not, what it was
All those times, that passed by
With no signs, and now, you're, telling me
You miss me, boy, why couldn't, I see
And my heart, don't agree
With what, you're, telling me

[Bridge:]
No attention, was given
No affection, from you, to heal, the hurt
I was hoping, I was wishing
Just to listen, and to hear, those words

[Chorus:]
You're in love, but, that's not, what it was
All those times, that passed by
With no signs, and now, you're, telling me
You miss me, boy, why couldn't, I see
And my heart, don't agree
With what, you're, telling me

You're in love, but, that's not, what it was
All those times (times), that passed by (by)
With no signs, and now, you're, telling me
(Telling me... yeah)
You miss me, boy, why couldn't, I see
And my heart, don't agree
With what, you're, telling me

Two 'o clock and I wish that I was sleeping
You're in my head like a song on the radio
All I know is that I got to get next to you
Yeah I got to get next to you
Sitting here turning minutes into hours
To find the nerve just to call you on the telephone
You don't know that I got to get next to you

[Chorus:]
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you

I asked around and I heard that you were talking
Told my girl that you thought I was out of your league
What a fool, I got to get next to you, whoa
Yeah it's five in the morning and I can't go to sleep
'Cause I wish, yeah I wish that you knew what you mean to me
Baby let's get together and end this mystery, oh

[Chorus:]
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you

Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?

Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?

Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?

Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Yeah, yeah, to want to get next to you

[Chorus:]
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Baby call me crazy
But I know you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I got to get next to you

I can't help myself
If I don't wanna be with nobody else
I don't wanna leave my baby's side
And I don't wanna kiss another guy
I'll pass any test
Cause nothing in this world or in the next
Could make me second guess
Could make me change my mind
Could make me not protect what I'm feeling inside

Cause I'm smart enough to know that this is a good thing
Please believe it, please believe it
And I'm smart enough to stay right where I belong
And I'm faithful enough to know that this is meant to be
And if it's not, the don't speak
Don't ruin it, let me dream

[Chorus:]
Hear me, hear me
This is for my baby
There will never be another
There's so many ways I love you
And that's just for the record, babe
I need you, need you
I can't wait to see you
I so love when were together
Can't nobody do it better
And that's just for the record, babe

I can't be perfect
No one is flawless
But rest in mind
I'll be there through the good and the bad and the ugly and worse
So if it's something that you're lacking
Go and tell me first

Cause I'm smart enough to know that this is a good thing, yeah
Smart enough to stay right where I belong, oh no no no
And I'm faithful enough to know that this is meant to be
And if it's not, the don't speak
Don't ruin it, let me dream

[Chorus:]
Hear me, hear me
This is for my baby
There will never be another
There's so many ways I love you
And that's just for the record, babe
I need you, need you
I can't wait to see you
I so love when were together
Can't nobody do it better
And that's just for the record, babe

So if there's any way to cheat
Don't tell me 'cause I don't wanna know
And if there's any way to leave
Don't tell me 'cause I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go to sleep 'cause I don't wanna miss you
This is team and I love my position
Lead me anywhere, I'll go with yuo there
I'll go with you there

[Chorus:]
Hear me, hear me
This is for my baby
There will never be another
There's so many ways I love you
And that's just for the record, babe
I need you, need you
I can't wait to see you
I so love when were together
Can't nobody do it better
And that's just for the record, babe

[Chorus:]
Hear me, hear me
This is for my baby
There will never be another
There's so many ways I love you
And that's just for the record, babe
I need you, need you
I can't wait to see you
I so love when were together
Can't nobody do it better
And that's just for the record, babe

Falling leaves like a blanket at my feet
There's a canopy of stars
And I just miss you like crazy
Suddenly the world's too big
And the hours move too slow
And I just wish that you were holding me near

Seven days, it feels like a year
You whisper through the line
You know I miss you like crazy
So baby can you steal a plane
A boat, the fastes train
You know it just don't feel the same when you're gone

[Chorus:]
'Cause everytime you go away
The sunshine starts to fade
Frozen by the hands of time into a
Permanent Monday
Take me back into your arms
And don't ever let me go
'Cause when I see you walk through that door
I'm not lost anymore
I'm home
I'm home

I won't sleep until you're finally next to me
Can't wait to breahe you in
Don't wanna waste my time dreaming
I just wanna treat your name like
A whipser on my skin
And never have to say goodbye again

[Chorus:]
'Cause everytime you go away
The sunshine starts to fade
Frozen by the hands of time into a
Permanent Monday
Take me back into your arms
And don't ever let me go
'Cause when I see you walk through that door
I'm not lost anymore
I'm home

'Cause when I feel you right here close to me
Everything is where it's supposed to be, baby

[Chorus:]
'Cause everytime you go away
The sunshine starts to fade
Frozen by the hands of time into a
Permanent Monday
Take me back into your arms
And don't ever let me go
'Cause when I see you walk through that door
I'm not lost anymore
I'm home
I'm home
Yes I am
And I miss you like crazy

Didn't ask you're opinion, whatcha talkin bout?
So quick to jump to conclusions, cause we're hangin out
There ain't no wishes, ain't no fuss
When it's just you and me (you and me)

What makes you think that you can know
What's gonna stick, what's gonna blow
So get em boy

Let them pull at the seams
Don't they know what it means
To be young and in love like that
Who are they to decide
If it's wrong, if it's right
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love

If people offering answers, sounds like breaking it
I can't remember the questions, whatever asked
It's a free road you came down
But you don't bother me (bother me)

One of those days when we're old
I'll stop and say I told you so
So get em boy

Let them pull at the seams
Don't they know what it means
To be young and in love like that
Who are they to decide
If it's wrong, if it's right
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love

It don't matter what they say, too late to walk away
Cause I need him, much too strong
I've waited for so long to feel all the things that I feel
So I gotta get that boy

Let them pull at the seams
Don't they know what it means
To be young and in love like that
Who are they to decide
If it's wrong, if it's right
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love

I've been trying for days
To think of a way
To find the words to make sense
Of how we behave
This might take a while
So please just hear me out

We know how things can get crazy
When we go ablaze
We just get carried away
Believe me, I know
Don't even say a word
Now please just hear me out

[Chorus:]
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better

Sometimes the stunts that we pull
Don't even make sense
But I was never the one
To feel that resent
This ain't 'bout who's to blame
So please just hear me out

When the scene gets intense
It's hard to prevent
From going all crazy again
Believe me, I know
Don't even say a word
Now please just hear me out

[Chorus:]
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better

[Chorus:]
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better

We'll get right back
On the right track
We'll get right back on
We'll get right back on
On the rgiht track

[Chorus:]
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better

[Chorus:]
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better

You said that I wasn't pretty
So I just believed you
And you said that I wasn't special
So I lived that way
With critical gazes and brutal amazement
And how my reflection could be so imperfect
With all of my blemishes, how could somebody want me?

[Chorus:]
But God loves ugly
He doesn't see the way I see
Oh god takes ugly
And turns it into to something that is beautiful
Apparently I'm beautiful
Cause you love me
Whoa, oh

I tried to clean up the outside
All shiny and new
Worked over time to thin up and look right
But inside I knew
That deep in the bottom were secrets I thought I could try to ignore
Old ghosts in my corridors
Never get tired of haunting the past that's in me

[Chorus:]
But God loves ugly
He doesn't see the way I see
Oh god takes ugly
And turns it into to something that is beautiful
Apparently I'm beautiful
Cause you love me

Help me believe why you love me
When I know you see
You see everything
Help me believe why you love me
When I know you see
Inside and you still say I'm beautiful

You're telling me I'm beautiful
Your screaming out I'm beautiful
And I'm finding out I'm beautiful
You're making me so beautiful
And I can I'm beautiful
Cause you love me
Whoa, oh

There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself

There was a time when I was so afraid
Thought I’d reached the end
Baby that was then
I am made of more than my yesterday’s

[Chorus]
This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
But I look around
I can’t believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.

And I have the courage like never before, yeah
I’ve settled forless now I’m ready for more
Ready for more

[Chorus x2]

This is my now
