The Cheetah Girls Album

[Verse 1:]
There's a time when we all choose
To either quit or follow through
To just loose faith
Or trust your heart
To somehow lead you through the dark
You're not the only one who's dreamin'
And who needs help to carry on
We might get lonely but we're not alone

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus:]
Cause we are sisters
We stand together
We make up one big family though we don't look the same
Our spots are different
Different colors
We make each other stronger
That ain't ever gonna change
We're cheetah girls cheetah sisters

[Verse 2:]
Gotta do what we gotta do
Got the brains, got the power and we speak the truth
We're from everywhere around the world
So ya best respect the cheetah girls
Dancin, singin from our birth
Workin hard for what we deserve
Trying not to break the rules
Cause mama didnt raise no fools
It may seem we're only dreamin'
And we need help to carry on
Its good to know we're not alone

[Chorus:]
Cause we are sisters
We stand together
We make up one big family though we don't look the same
Our spots are different
Different colors
We make each other stronger
That ain't ever gonna change
Believe it mister
We're cheetah girls cheetah sisters

[Bridge:]
Someone's always there behind
To catch us if we fall

[Chorus:]
Cause we are sisters
We stand together
We make up one big family though we dont look the same
Our spots are different
Different colors
We make each other stronger
That ain't ever gonna change

Believe it mister

[GALLERIA:]
When I was just a little girl,
My mama used to tuck me into bed,
And she'd read me a story.

[CHANEL:]
It always was about a princess in distress
And how a guy would save her
And end up with the glory.

[DORINDA:]
I'd lie in bed
And think about
The person that I wanted to be,

[AQUA:]
then one day I realized
The fairy tale life wasn't for me.

[CHORUS – ALL:]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella,
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (Come and set me free)
I don't wanna be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna be
No, no, no one else.
I'd rather rescue myself.

[ALL:]
Someday im gonna find Someone
who wants my soul, heart and mind
Whos not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand im happy just the way I am
Dont need nobody taking care of me
(i will be there)I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for
me
when I give myself then it has got to be an equal thing

[CHORUS – ALL:]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella,
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (Come and set me free)
I don't wanna be like Snow white waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
on a horse of white
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna be
No, no, no one else.
I'd rather rescue myself.

[ALL:]
I can slay (I can slay) my own dragons. (My own dragons)
I can dream my own dreams. (My own dreams)
My knight in shining armor (shining armor) is me.
So I'm gonna set me free.

[CHORUS – ALL:]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella,
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free.
I don't wanna be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
Unless somebody's on my side

I don't wanna be like Cinderella,
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
Waiting for somebody (oh -Oh) to come and set me free.
I don't wanna be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
on a horse of white
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna depend
on, no one else.
I'd rather rescue myself.

I don't wanna be like Cinderella,
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
Waiting for somebody (oh -Oh)to come and set me free.
I don't wanna be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
on a horse of white
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna depend
on, no one else.

As long as I did my best
It don't matter what no one says

And keep on standin' tall
I know that my back is covered
Because we have each other

[Verse 1]
Hold on, sit tight.
Are you ready for a crazy ride?
Your on your own, it ain't right.
Something gotta give tonight.

[Hook]
So if you wanna run, run and disappear.
You and I can bust our way right out of here.

[Chorus x2]
Together we can.
Shoot the moon, stop the rain even ride a hurricane,
If we wanna.
Together we can.
Walk into space, save the human race, do you think we oughta? [x2]

[Verse 2]
If we take our time, we can have it all.
I don't think we're gonna make it on our own.

Together we can.
Even ride a hurricane, if we wanna. (C'mon)
Walk into space save the human race.
Do you think we oughta?

Hey yo Mac (yeah)

One song, one rhyme, just one verse
With one line, one time

MY sister
been through it all,no one could
diss her
Or it was only just how we roll
swore we'd be that way,till we were gray and old
Then he came
i fell in love and everything changed
A perfect picture put in a frame
you saw a difference
said that things won't be the same

(Chorus)
Girlfriend
I thought you said you were my
best friend
So why ya tellin' all my
business
thought we were better,but you
showed me where we stand
girlfriend
i thought you said you were my
best friend
so what you tellin' to my
boyfriend
thought we were better,than to
fight over a man

time passed
feelings are bubbling like a wine glass
my girl won't call me,'cause of my man
said we can't hang,because i checked out of the game
but to fix that
she went and pulled some tricks out the hat
and tried to tell him i did act
whenever we'd go hanging out back in the day
i thought you'd be happy for me
but instead you're spitting venom
being salty,oh yeah
how could you put my business in the streets
i found out what they meant by
your best friend could be your worst enemy

chorus

bridge(reprise)

chorus to fade

There's a word of kindness from you I've never heard it
Nobody else but me, and spend around this lousy day until it's perfect
Just you wait and see

Chorus:
Woh, woh, I'm gonna break through
I'm gonna have some fun
That's what I'm gonna do
Woh, woh, we'll go without you
I'm gonna have some fun
That's what I'm gonna do
La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me
I'm too busy having fun
La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me
I'm too busy

If there's a key to this hidden door I'm gonna find it
No one can keep me out of the sun
And when the winds starts to come I'll never mind it
There was never a doubt
Cause I have the power to change my life from one day at a time
hour, by an hour I'll be fine
I'll be alright

Chorus

Cause I have the power to change my life from one day at a time
hour, by an hour I'll be fine
I'll be alright

Chorus

There's a word of kindness from you I've never heard it
Nobody else but me, and spend around this lousy day until it's perfect
Just you wait and see

Woh, woh, I'm gonna break through
I'm gonna have some fun
That's what I'm gonna do
Woh, woh, we'll go without you
I'm gonna have some fun
That's what I'm gonna do
La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me
I'm too busy having fun
La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me

Will we be friends when we grow
old? is this the end of the line?

I hurt with you I love with you
the world just seems to get
in our way
Is this the end of the line?

Oh please don't leave me
Don't let your heart let go
We'll find a way
The journey has only begun
Is this the end of the line?
Lalalala Lalalala Lalala Lala
Oh yeah, oh
Is this the end of the line?
If you leave I'll follow
don't let your heart let go
We'll find a way
the journey has only begun
Is this the end of the line?
Is this the end of the line?
