    Go

    I've gotta go
    find another direction
    I've gotta go
    I wanna get your attention

    I am so sorry that it went this way
    I just can't hold on anymore
    The feeling's gone, I must move on
    There's nothing left worth fighting for
    Can't love you anymore, anymore

    Go
    Find what you're looking for
    Go
    you've lost me that's for sure

    I've gotta go
    find another direction
    I've gotta go
    I wanna get your attention for once

    I've never been in love before
    But this is where it has to end
    I just can't love you anymore
    Don't even want you as friend
    Can't love you anymore, anymore

    Go
    Find what you're looking for
    Go
    You've lost me that's for sure,

    It all started in another dimension (x3)

    You may have took my breath
    you didn't take my dictation

    They say that love is blind (x3)

    I've never been the leaving kind

    I've gotta go
    find another direction
    I've gotta go
    I want to get your attention for once



    Northern Star

    She tried to catch a falling star
    Thinking that she had gone to far
    She did but kept it hidden well
    Until she cracked and then she fell

    If all the history is true
    She's gonna end up just like you
    You made it to the other side
    But tell me who will be my guide?

    They build you up
    So they can tear you down
    Trust the ocean,
    You'll never drown
    Who is next?
    Who's gonna steal your crown?
    You'll see

    I have learned my lesson well
    The Truth is out there I can tell
    Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
    And goodbyes
    Northern Star

    Fulfill a longing in your heart
    And we will never be apart
    And if they dare to question you
    Just tell them that our love is true

    They buy your dreams so they can sell you soul
    Is it any wonder we've lost control?
    Feelings found
    Feelings gone

    I have learned my lesson well
    The truth is out there I can tell
    Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
    And goodbyes

    Live your life without regret
    Don't be someone who they forget
    When you're lost reach out for me
    And you'll see
    She's not far

    Northern Star

    I have learned my lesson well
    The Truth is out there I can tell
    Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
    And goodbyes

    Live your life without regret
    Don't be someone who they forget
    When you're lost reach out for me
    And you'll see
    She's not far

    Goin' Down

    How come I didn?t see you were making fun of me?
    How dare you change the rules
    You made me look a fool
    Well now you?re gonna see the last
    laugh?s not on me
    What am I gonna do to get my revenge on you?
    You?re goin? down
    Goin? down

    Was it just another line or did I misread the sign?
    What else could I do?
    I was so into you
    With all this bad luck I?ve had my karma must be bad
    You played your little game, oh what a shame
    You?re goin? down
    Goin? down, goin? down

    I?m singin? it loud and I don?t care
    I?m singin? it proud everywhere

    Now I feel no remorse, my life is back on course
    From this little hitch I have become a superbitch
    But don?t be afraid by the confession I?ve made
    I am not a whore I have gone hardcore
    You?re goin? down
    Goin? down Goin? down, goin? down

    I?m singin? it loud and I don?t care
    I?m singin? it proud everywhere
    I?m singin? it loud and I don?t care
    I?m singin? it proud everywhere, ha, ha, ha

    You?re goin? down, goin? down. You?re goin? down. Goin? down, ha, yeah



    I Turn To You

    When the world is darker than I can understand
    When nothing turns out the way I planned
    When the sky tunrs grey and there's no end in sight
    When I can't sleep through the lonely night

    I turn to you
    Like a flower leaning toward the sun
    I turn to you
    'Cos you're the only one
    Who can turn me around when i'm upside down
    I turn to you

    When my insides are wracked with anxiety
    You have touch that will quiet me
    You lift my spirit
    You melt the ice
    When i need inspiration
    When i need advice

    I turn to you
    Like a flower leaning toward the sun
    I turn to you
    'Cos you're the only one
    Who can turn me around when I'm upside down
    I turn to you

    Where would I be?
    What would i do?
    If you'd never helped me through
    I hope someday if you've lost your way
    You could turn to me like I turn to you

    I turn to you
    Like a flower leaning toward the sun
    I turn to you
    'Cos you're the only one
    Who can turn me around when I'm upside down
    I turn to you

    I turn to you
    When fear tells me to turn around
    I turn to you
    'Cos you're the only one
    Who can turn me around when I'm upside down
    I turn to you
    I turn to you
    I turn to you.


    If That Were Me

    Where do they go and what do they do?
    There walking on by,they're looking at you
    Some people stop some people stare
    But would they help you and do they care?

    How
    Did you fall?
    Did you fall at all?
    Are you happy where you are?
    Sleeping underneath the stars
    When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm

    A spare bit of change is all that I give
    How is that gonna help when you get no where to live?
    Some turn away so they don't see
    I bet you'd look If That Were Me

    How
    Did you fall?
    Did you fall at all?
    Is it lonely where you are?
    Sleeping in between the cars
    When it thunders where do you hide from the storm?

    Could you ever forgive my self pitty?
    When you got nothing and your living on the streets of the city
    I couldn't live without my phone
    But you dont even have a home

    How
    Did we fall?
    Can we get up at all?
    Are we happy where we are?
    On our lonely little star
    When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm?

    Where do they go and what do they do?
    They're walking on by,they're looking at you
    They're walking on by,they're looking at you


    Never Be The Same Again

    Come on
    Ooh yeah
    Never be the same again
    I call you up whenever things go wrong
    You're always there
    You are my shoulder to cry on
    I can't believe it took me so long
    To take the forbidden step
    Is this something that I might regret
    (Come on come on)
    Nothing ventured nothing gained
    (You are the one)
    A lonely heart that can't be tamed
    (Come on come on)
    I'm hoping that you feel the same
    This is something that I can't forget
    I thought that we would just be friends
    Things will never be the same again
    It's just the beginning it's not the end
    Things will never be the same again
    It's not a secret anymore
    Now we've opened up the door
    Starting tonight and from now on
    We'll never, never be the same again
    Never be the same again
    Now I know that we were close before
    I'm glad I realised I need you so much more
    And I don't care what every one will say
    It's about you and me
    And we'll never be the same again
    I though that we would just be friends
    (Oh yeah)
    Things will never be the same again
    Never be the same again
    It's just the beginnning it's not the end
    (We've only just begun)
    Things will never be the same again
    It's not a secret anymore
    Now we've opened up the door
    (Opened up the door)
    Starting tonight and from now on
    We'll never never be the same again
    Never be the same again

    Left Eye (rap):
    Nite and day
    Black beach sand to red clay
    The US to UK
    NYC to LA
    From sidewalks to highways
    See it'll never be the same
    What I'm sayin' my mind frame never changed til you came and rearranged
    But sometimes it seems completely forbidden
    To discover those feelings that we kept so well hidden
    When there's no comptetiton
    And you render my condition
    Though improbable it's not impossible
    For a love that could be unstoppable
    But wait
    A fine line's between fate and destiny
    Do you belive in the things that were just meant to be?
    When you tell me the stories of your quest for me
    Picturesque is the picture you paint effortlessly and
    As our energies mix and begin to mulitply
    Everyday situations
    They start to simplfy
    So things will never be the same between you and I
    We intertwined our life forces and now we're unified

    (Back to Melanie C.)
    I thought that we would just be friends
    Things will never be the same again
    It's just the beginning it's not the end
    Things will never be the same again
    It's not a secret anymore
    Now we've opened up the door
    Starting tonight and from now on
    We'll never never be the same again
    (Come on come on)
    Things will never be the same again
    (You are the one)
    Never be the same again....(repeat)


    Why

    Why does the rain fall from the sky?
    How can a sugar pill take this pain away?
    I should have known that you would break my heart
    You've ended something that didn't have a chance to start
    Put out the stars
    Rub out the sky
    Look to the future
    Wipe the teardrop from my eye
    Shut off the sun
    Put out the light
    Want you to tell me how you're gonna make it right
    Why am i cying over you?
    Why?
    'Cos ther's nothing else that I can do
    Why do I always look a fool?
    Why?
    Wish I'd read the signs and left you well alone
    God, I wanna call you but I can't pick up the phone
    Put out the stars
    Rub out the sky
    Look to the future
    Wipe the teardrop from my eye
    Shut out the sun
    Bring on the night
    Want you to show me how you're gonna make it right
    Why am I cryin' over you?
    Why?
    'Cos there's nothing else that I can do
    Why do I always look a fool?
    Why?
    Why am I crying over you?
    (Tell me why. Why does the rain fall from the sky?)
    Why?
    'Cos there's nothing else that I can do
    (Why do the tears fall from my eyes?)
    Why do I always look a fool?
    (Why does the rain fall from the sky?)
    Why?
    (Oh tell me why)
    (Tell me why)

    Ga Ga

    I don't want your adoration
    I don't want your train stopping at my station
    You hurt me, and I'm grateful
    I never ever felt anything stranger

    Ga ga, crazy, foolish for wanting you
    Stupid, cupid
    He's a drag he's not like you

    People say that it's insane we love to feel the pain

    And it hurts
    Yes it hurts
    Let it hurt

    I don't want emotion hassle
    I just want another bite of the apple
    Dark thoughts need satisfaction
    We're gonna crash
    Lets make it happen

    Ga ga, crazy, foolish for wanting you
    Stupid, cupid
    He's a drag he's not like you

    People say that it's insane we always go for pain

    And it hurts
    Yes it hurts
    Let it hurt

    This will never be over
    And you will always be mine
    You've gotta feed my hunger, baby
    I ain't ready to die

    Ga ga, crazy, foolish for wanting you
    Stupid, cupid, he's a drag he's not like you

    Ga ga, crazy, foolish for wanting you
    Stupid, cupid, he's a drag he's not like you

    Ga ga, crazy, foolish for wanting you
    Ga ga, crazy, foolish for wanting you

    And it hurts

    Let it hurt

    And it hurts

    Let it hurt

    And it hurts
    And it hurts
    Let it hurt

    And it hurts
    And it hurts
    Let it hurt

    And it hurts


    Be The One

    The situation's getting boring
    You're not gonna spoil another day
    I don't expect you to be calling
    You're always gonna act that way
    Said those lines so many times
    Heard it all before
    What makes you think that I will keep
    Hanging round for more
    If you're gonna be the one, be the one, who ooh
    Moves my heaven and earth
    You wanna be the one, be the one, who ooh
    Shares my hunger and thirst
    You see the other ones are hanging on and ooh ooh
    They've got nothing on you
    You wanna be the one, be the one
    The only one

    You say you're hooked on me
    But where were you last night
    Because when you looked at me yeah
    You can hold my eyes
    Saying things you never mean
    That's no big surprise
    Telling me that you're the one
    I'm tired of the lies

    Be the one, be the one, who ooh
    Moves my heaven and earth
    You wanna be the one, be the one, who ooh
    Shares my hunger and thirst
    You see the other ones are hanging on
    They've got nothing on you
    You wanna be the one, be the one
    The only one

    I've got no time for bitterness
    I wanna move away from this
    I've found myself, somebody, ooh
    Ooh, ooh

    He's gonna be the one, be the one, who ooh
    Moves my heaven and earth
    He's gonna be the one, be the one, who ooh
    Shares my hunger and thirst
    You see the other ones are hanging on and ooh ooh
    They've got nothing on you
    You wanna be the one, be the one
    The only one

    I've got no time for bitterness
    I wanna move away from this
    I've found myself, somebody ooh Ooh ooh


    Closer

    Loving you madly will be forever
    I see the ocean in your eyes when we're together
    There are no boundaries
    There are no limits
    My heart has been embraced now that you're in it
    Hold me closer to your dreams
    Closer to your fears
    Close to hear your laughter
    Hold me when you're close to tears
    Time passes by seconds into minutes
    Every field and flower fades but love is infinite
    There are no boundaries
    There are no limits
    My heart's a bigger place now that you're in it
    Hold me closer to your dreams
    Closer to your fears
    Close to hear your laughter
    Hold me when you're close to tears
    I wanna be the one you tell your secrets to
    All I want is to be closer
    Closer to you
    How tight can you hold me?
    How long can we stay awake?
    How hard can we laugh?
    How much love can we make?
    Hold me closer to you dreams
    Closer to your fears
    Close to hear your laughter
    Hold me when you're close to tears
    I wanna be the one you tell your secrets to
    All I want is to be closer
    Closer to you


    Feel The Sun

    These thoughts can be evil and often deceive
    Gotta believe that I can overcome
    My fears are the worst and they always return

    I never learn
    Feel like I don't belong
    Lost in the wreckage
    Of a million bad dreams
    Hard to function
    I just need some routine
    God, it's obscene
    When did they stop the fun?
    I knew that something must be done
    To save the person I'd become
    That's why I had to run away
    Feel the sun
    Waves crash like my emotion
    Life has begun
    Now I will be safe from the storm
    I found the one
    This angel's my salvation
    I'm feeling strong
    You will be there if I fall
    Guilt is no use it will tarnish your soul
    Just let it go
    The battle will soon be won
    Cold in the shadow of who I should be
    There's a fire burning deep inside me
    Helping me see
    Only I hold the key
    And now I stand here unafraid
    Proud of everyting I had
    That's why I had to run away

    Feel the sun
    Waves crash like my emotion
    Life has begun
    Now I will be safe from the storm
    I found the one
    This angel's my salvation
    I'm feeling strong
    You will be there if I fall
    There's so much energy
    At last I an be free
    I am the person I was looking for
    Feel the sun
    Waves crash like my emotion
    Life has begun
    Now I will be safe from the storm
    I found the one
    This angel's my salvation
    I'm feeling strong I'll never fall
    You are there when I call.


    I Want You Back

    Everyday in my thoughts
    You're my one obsession
    Can't go on, need a fix
    This is my confession

    When you're not around the nights go on
    You may be with her, but with me you belong
    I am the only one
    I am the only one

    I want you back
    Whatever you do
    I want you back
    I've got nothing to prove
    I don't care what you said
    Want you back in my bed
    I want you back
    I want you back

    Can't let go, guess you know
    Now I've blown my cover
    What I want, what I need
    Is no other lover

    Try to deny it but you know it's true
    No-one can make you feel like I do
    I am the only one
    I am the only one

    I want you back
    Whatever you do
    I want you back
    I've got nothing to prove
    I don't care what you said
    Want you back in my bed
    I want you back
    I want you back

    You can't keep running away from me
    When something feels so right then it's meant to be
    Like a dog with a bone I won't let go
    Won't let go

    Try to deny it but you know it's true
    No-one can make you feel like I do
    I am the only one
    I am the only one

    I want you back (I want you back)
    Whatever you do
    I want you back (I want you back)
    I've got nothing to prove
    I don't care what you said
    Want you back in my bed
    I want you back
    I want you back

    I want you
    I need you
    I want you
    I need you

    I want you, I need you
    I want you, I need you
    I want you, I need you
    Ooh


    Angel On My Shoulder

    Sometimes when I'm lonely
    I can feel you on my breeze
    In the darkness, when I'm sleeping
    You're the colour in my dreams

    And I'm not alone
    No I'm not alone

    You're the angel on my shoulder
    You're always there (you're always there)
    You're the angel on my shoulder
    I know you care (I know you care)
    I know you're there
    Angel

    Sometimes when I'm nervous
    And I try to catch my breath
    You're the space between my heartbeats
    You're the reason I feel blessed

    And I'm not alone
    No I'm not alone

    You're the angel on my shoulder
    You're always there (you're always there)
    You're the angel on my shoulder
    Now I'm not scared (now I'm not scared)
    I know you're there
    Angel

    I know you watch me when I'm good or bad
    But I could never let you down
    You always understand

    You're the angel on my shoulder
    You're always there (you're always there)
    You're the angel on my shoulder
    I know you care (I know you care)

    You're the angel on my shoulder
    You're always there (you're always there)
    You're the angel on my shoulder
    Now I'm not scared (now I'm not scared)

    I know you're there
    You're everywhere
    Angel
