[No lyrics]

I want to take you home tonight
And lay you down beside the fire
I've never seen your face before
I probably won't see you no more

I hope I find another girl
That thinks that I am lovely too
But they don't make those kinds of girls
And so I cry from me to you

This is another New Year's Eve
And I am happy with myself
I like to disco on the floor
I probably won't see you no more

If all I take from this ordeal
Is to sit down with you and feel
And tell you that I love you so
I probably won't see you no more

Don't go, I want you to stay
I need you to stay and hold me
Don't go, I want you to stay
I need you to stay and hold me

Everybody told me, and I knew it myself
Don't drink the water, it's bad for your health
But God it's hot, I had no choice
The sun had burned down on me
And even though they told me so
I drank it deep, drank it deep

Even though we both know
What we know, we can't say no

The world is blind to what it finds
The world is blind though the sun shines

Now I kneel before the sacred basin
And offer up the sweetest of all sins
But God it's hot, I had no choice
The sun had burned down on me
And even though they told me so
I drank it deep, drank it deep

Even though we both know
What we know, we can't say no

The world is blind to what it finds
The world is blind though it shines

Even though we both know
What we know, we can't say no

The world is blind to what it finds
The world is blind though it shines

Listen to me, I've got clear the air
There's something I've held way down deep inside all these years
You always were a friend, you always trusted me
But now I must admit that I was not trustworthy

I let you down, I sold you out
I turned away as you fell onto the ground
I was scared, and I was terrified
I was lost and so I shied away

And I don't know what I can do to make it up to you
I can't turn back the clock, I can't rewrite the book
But if I could, the end would be happy, you would be safe
And I'd be proud to look at you when I look you in the face

I let you down, I sold you out
I turned away as you fell onto the ground
I was scared, and I was terrified
I was lost and so I shied away

Though I loved you, I was so afraid
I could not think of anything to say
Though I loved you, though I trusted you
Though I needed you, I was so afraid
I was so afraid

And I promise that I'll never ever do
The thing that I did on that day when I acted like a fool
I might my ass beat, my throat slit, and my fingers hacked
But I'll never miss another chance to watch my brother's back, and I got your-

I let you down, I sold you out
I turned away as you fell onto the ground
I was scared, and I was terrified
I was lost and so I shied away
I was scared, and I was terrified
I was lost and so I let you down

My brain is working overtime
I need something to ease my mind
And as my thoughts go manic
I really start to panic
There's no place to hide behind

I freak and then hallucinate
I go at lights when I should wait
My parents think I'm lazy
But damn I'm going crazy
I can't help my mental state.

Pick it up y'all, pick it up

Ooh lala (he's trippin')
La dee dah (mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way

I work into a frenzied clip
I bite the corners of my lip
I'm losin' my appetite
My pants don't even fit right
Take away the month-old dip
My hair could start a bowl cut fad
The state of my attire is sad
And if I was run over
By a brand new Range Rover
Hey, I'd actually be glad

Pick it up y'all, pick it up

Ooh lala (he's trippin')
La dee dah (mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way

Do you really want me down?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me down?
'Cause I'm waiting to see

My brain is working overtime
I need something to ease my mind
And as my thoughts go manic
I really start to panic
There's no place to hide behind

Pick it up y'all, pick it up

Ooh lala (he's trippin')
La dee dah (mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way

All the times you came to me and told me that you cared
I was dreaming of happy days that we both could share
Maybe I got too excited and maybe you freaked out
Maybe I just have to call you up and scream and shout
All of my friends tell me that I ought to play it cool
No one likes too much attention from a desperate fool
Still I don't believe that I can keep it all inside
When I see your pretty face I almost want to cry

I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't want to let you go

I remember the days when I was stronger than wall
Try as anybody might they couldn't move me at all
Now I fall to pieces when you softly call my name
Going up in smoke plumes like a moth within your flame
I have lost all hope for being normal once again
I will be a slave to you until the bitter end
Even if it's a hundred years before you change your mind
I will be here waiting girl until the end of time

I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't want to let you go

I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't want to let you go

The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't want to let you go

Oh Jonas, I miss you
Nobody else loves you like I do
Oh Jonas, I need you
Nobody else, nobody else, loves me, loves me, like you

[Jonas] Please, remember I'm only a friend
[Maria] A friend who boinks me
[Jonas] You're too crazy to settle down with
[Maria] Then why lead me on?
[Jonas] I don't love you, but I can't help myself
[Maria] I'll make you love me
[Jonas] Please, Maria, it won't ever be
[Maria] I'll make you love me
[Jonas] I love you
[Maria] Love me
[Jonas] I do

[MARIA:]
Come to my pod
There's no one there, we'll be alone
We can talk
And if you want to we'll get stoned
And relax
Have fun
In my pod

[JONAS:]
In your pod
No one knows the things we do
We'll get high
If you want to we'll sniff glue
And relax
Have fun
In your pod

[MARIA and JONAS:]
In my/your pod
There's no one there, we'll be alone
We can talk
And make love the whole night through
And relax
Have fun
In my/your pod

[MARIA:]
Now that we're left all alone, touch me and kiss me and love me.

Well its been building up inside of me
For, oh, I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong

But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now
Because I pushed the other guys too far

She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

She told me baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I love you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you

Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says dont worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

Sunshine is falling
Over my head
Turtle doves are calling,
"Good morning friends"

And I got the prettiest girl in the whole wide world
And nobody can take her from me
And in the evening when she goes out walking
I wait at home patiently
I've never been so happy
I've never been so sure
Ohh...

Red roses blooming
All unaware
Of seasons turning
Of coming care

And I got the prettiest girl in the whole wide world
And nobody can take her from me
And in the evening when she goes out walking
I wait at home patiently
I've never been so happy
I've never been so sure
I got the prettiest girl in the world and I'm in love with her

I can't stop partying, partying
I can't stop partying, partying
I gotta have Patrón, I gotta have the E
I gotta have a lot of pretty girls around me
Oh, I can't stop partying, partying
I can't stop, partying, partying
I gotta have the cars, I gotta have the jewels
And if you was me, honey, you would do it too

Monday to Sunday I hit all the clubs
And now e'rybody know me when I pull up
I got the real big posse with me, yeah I'm deep
And if you lookin' for me I'm in VIP

Just follow the smoke, they're bringing bottles of the Goose
And all the girls in the corner getting loose
Screw rehab I love my addiction
No sleep, no sleep, I am always on a mission 'cause

I can't stop partying, partying
I can't stop partying, partying
I gotta have Patrón, I gotta have the E
I gotta have a lot of pretty girls around me
Oh, I can't stop partying, partying
I can't stop, partying, partying
I gotta have the cars, I gotta have the jewels
And if you was me, honey, you would do it too

Oh
(Can't stop, can't stop the partying)
(Can't stop, can't stop the partying)
(Can't stop, can't stop the partying)
(Can't stop, can't stop the partying) (x4)

(Scratch check, mama, scratch check!)

Amy Moore blew her top
Stole a car, shot a cop (Bang)
Sped away 2000 miles
Didn't stop until she hit New Orleans
That's alright
There's just one thing
Her wedding ring, or anything
She left behind, she didn't pack
How is she ever gonna get it back?

Paperface, paperface!

I never heard of paperface
Until I moved to the west coast (L.A.)
Where I found that to be smooth
I had to wear a paperface
That's alright
There's just one thing
How am I supposed to sing
With this thing in my way
With this thing... In my face

My face, paperface!
Paperface, paperface!

Let's see what you've got inside
Underneath your paperface!
Let's see what you've got inside
Underneath! Underneath!

Amy Moore blew her top
Stole a car, shot a cop
Sped away 2000 miles
Didn't stop until she hit New Orleans
That's alright
There's just one thing
Her wedding ring, or anything
She left behind, she didn't pack
How is she ever gonna get it back?

Paperface! Paperface!
Go go go!

Let's see what you've got inside
Underneath your paperface!
Let's see what you've got inside!
Underneath!

It's cold outside
Seven months of suicide
I've been in
Suspended animation

Just like Walt Disney

My only love
Asked for me to wait out there
I waited
Waited but she didn't care

Just like Walt Disney
I'm just thawing out

My fingertips and toes are frozen to the bone
Give me an hour before you throw me in the cold

Ring ring ring
Now I hear the phone singing
Calling me
Telling me to start freezing

Just like Walt Disney
I'm a block of ice

My fingertips and toes are frozen to the bone
Give me an hour before you throw me in the cold
Give me an hour before you pick me up and throw me 'cross the sea
Why don't you please?

Just like Walt Disney

I admire you so much
In the morning time our hearts will touch
Hold on, hold on
Cause I've never needed anyone like this
You never needed me, I never needed you
And that's the way you are

Sometimes I lose my pride
And leave my best behind
And everybody has a good laugh
But still I understand
The chance is in my hand
Someday I'm gonna make 'em believe

So people all around
Let me head you lay it down
This is all the hope I have

My day is coming
My day is coming
My day is coming
It's coming up someday

It ain't too far from now
I'm gonna work it out
Today is better than yesterday
My shining star will rise
And lead me to the prize
The best of times are on the way

So people all around
Let me head you lay it down
This is all the hope I have

My day is coming, it's coming someday
My day is coming, it might be today
My day is coming, it's coming up someday

And when I get the things I want to have
Will I look back on the critics
Will I say that they were stupid
That they underestimated me all along

Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley, Freddy Adu, Clint Dempsey, Oguchi Onyewu, Bobby Convey, Eddie Johnson, Steve Cherundolo, Brian Ching, Carlos Bocanegra, Jimmy Conrad, Pat Noonan, Let me hear you say

My day is coming, it's coming someday
My day is coming, it might be today
My day is coming, it's coming up someday

My day is coming, it's coming up someday

Though the air is cold and damp
Yet still you want to go
And it's hard to celebrate
So far away from home
Gotta spend my days with you
Gonna make your dreams come true
But the air is cold and damp
Yet still you want to go

Your friends are laughing at you
They can keep you here
Your family hates the thought of
Baby dissappearin'

Gotta spend my days with you
Gonna make your dreams come true
But the air is cold and damp
Yet still you want to go
Making love at the eddy
Say goodbye to every day
So in love in emotion
Satisfied in every way

Gotta spend my days with you
Gonna make your dreams come true
But the air is cold and damp
Yet still you want to go
Making love at the eddy
Say goodbye to every day
So in love in emotion
Satisfied in every way

Though the air is cold and damp
Yet still you want to go
Though the air is cold and damp
Yet still you want to go
Though the air is cold and damp
Yet still you want to go

(Woo! Yeah!)

Well I've been standin' here
For a long, long time
Thinkin' about the fight we had, oh-hoh

Now maybe we're all through
Or we've just begun
But there's just one thing I need to say, hey-hey

Everywhere I go, and everything I do
No matter whose I am, I'll think about you

It may have been a game
It might have hurt a lot
But no one put you in that ring, uh-huh

And so we kiss goodbye
You know I love you true
You know I love playin' with you, uh-huh

Everywhere I go, and everything I do
Ten years down the road, ten girls under my shoe
No matter whose I am, I'll think about you

Everywhere I go, and everything I do
Ten years down the road, oh, ten girls under my shoe!
No matter whose I am, I'll think about you

I'll think about you...
