Christina María Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American pop singer and songwriter. Aguilera first appeared on national television in 1990 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel's television series The Mickey Mouse Club from 1993–1994. Aguilera signed to RCA Records after recording "Reflection" for the film Mulan.
In 1999, Aguilera came to prominence following her debut album Christina Aguilera, which was a commercial success spawning three number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100—"Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants," and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)." A Latin pop album, Mi Reflejo (2001), and several collaborations followed which garnered Aguilera worldwide success, though she was displeased with her lack of input in her music and image. After parting from her management, Aguilera took creative control over her second studio album, Stripped (2002). The album's second single, "Beautiful," was a commercial success and helped the album's commercial performance. Aguilera followed up Stripped with Back to Basics (2006), which was released to positive critical acclaim and included elements of soul, jazz, and blues music. Aguilera's fourth studio album Bionic (2010) was poorly received both critically and commercially.
Aside from being known for her vocal ability, music videos and image, musically, she includes themes of dealing with public scrutiny, her childhood, and female empowerment in her music.Apart from her work in music, she has also dedicated much of her time as a philanthropist for charities, human rights and world issues. Aguilera's work has earned her numerous awards, including five Grammy Awards and a Latin Grammy Award, amongst fifteen and three nominations respectively. Rolling Stone ranked her number fifty-eight on their list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, ranking as the youngest and only artist on the list under the age of thirty. Also she has ranked the 20th Artist of the Decade by Billboard. She has become one of the most successful recording artists of the decade, selling more than 46 million albums worldwide.

1. LOVING ME FOR ME
Loving Me For Me lyrics
People ask if I'm in love with you
Because I'm sitting here with your picture
And smiling to myself
I'm kinda lost in my own thoughts of you
My heart speaks before my mind thinks through
And I blush as I say yes
What a feeling of vulnerability coming over me
And I'm feeling weak and I can't speak
Never thought I'd give in so willingly to a human being
With abilities to set me free
Free, make me be me
Makes me want to say
Your lips, your love, your smile, your kiss
I must admit it's a part of me
You please me, complete me, believe me
Like a melody
Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof
We were meant to be
But the best quality thats hookin' me
Is that you're loving me for me
Is that you're loving me for me
People ask why I'm in love with you
Well, let me start by saying
You got my heart by just being who you are
And what we got is between me and you
It doesn't matter about the money I make
Or what I do, or that I'm a, huh, a star
Unconditionally you're there for me
Undeniably you inspire me, spiritually, so sweet
This is meaningful, is incredible, pleasurable, unforgettable
The way I feel, so sweet
Makes me want to say
Your lips, your love, your smile, your kiss
I must admit it's a part of me
You please me, complete me, believe me
Like a melody
Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof
We were meant to be
But the best quality thats hookin' me
Is that you're loving me for me
Is that you're loving me for me
Its so amazing how something so sweet
Has come and rearranged my life
I've been kissed by destiny
Oh, heaven came and saved me
An angel was placed at my feet
This isn't ordinary, he's loving me for me
Stripped of all make up, no need for fancy clothes
No cover ups, push ups
With him, I dont have to put on a show
He loves every freckle, every curve, every inch of my skin
Fulfilling me entirely, taking all of me in
He's real,he's honest, he's loving me for me

2. A VOICE WITHIN
The Voice Within lyrics
Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly
When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
You will learn to begin
To trust the voice within
Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
Soon you're gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside look inside to your soul
When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
You will learn to begin
To trust the voice within
Ohh yeah, ooh, yeah ohh
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know
(Be strong)
You'll break it
(Hold on)
You'll make it
(Be strong)
Just don't forsake it because
No one can tell you what you can't do
No one can stop you
You know that I'm talking to you
When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
You will learn to begin
To trust the voice within
Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Yeah

3. NOBODY WANTS TO BE LONELY
[Ricky]
Why, why, why
There you are in a darkened room
And your all alone, looking out the window
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow
Here I stand in the shadows (in the shadows)
Come to me, come to me
[Both] Can't you see that
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you close
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why, why
Why don't you let me love you
Why, why, why
[Christina]
Can you hear my voice, do you hear my song?
It's a serenade so your heart can find me, oh
And suddenly your flying down the stairs
Into my arms, baby
[Both]
Before I start going crazy
Run to me, run to me
'Caus I'm dying
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you close
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why, why
Why don't you let me love you
[Ricky] I want to feel you deeply
Just like the air you're breathing
[Christina] I need you here in my life
Don't walk away, don't walk away
[Ricky] Don't walk away, walk away
No, no, no, no
[Christina] Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
[Both]
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you close
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why, why
Why don't you let me love you
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you close
So bad it hurts inside

I dream, there's nothing that's too tough
There's nothing that's hard enough
For me and you, to get through

[Songwriters: Brown, Michael; Aguilera, Christina; Allecca, Robert;]
Mmm oh yeah
Mmm yeah, oh yeah
You believed in me when no one else did
You gave me the strength to move on, my friend
You will always be the one I remember
To give my thanks too for my success
I was alone just because I wasn't like them
They made me excluded so cruel
And then there was you
You stood by me ignored their words
You became my best friend so true oh yeah
You believed in me when no one else did
You gave me the strength to move on, my friend
You will always be the one I remember
To give my thanks too for my success
They just did not understand what I was going through
My situation they didn't care, no
You tried to take a stand for me
When I just could not take it any longer
You believed in me when no one else did
You gave me the strength to move on my friend
You will always be the one I remember
To give my thanks too for my success
Mmm oh yeah
Mmm yeah, oh yeah
As I look back I can see how childish they were
And you oh, you showed me that we were so much more than they were
I hope they can see their mistakes now and not do it to another
But if they don't I hope that person finds someone like you
You believed in me when no one else did
You gave me the strength to move on, my friend
You will always be the one I remember
To give my thanks too for my success

[Songwriters: Warren, Diane;]
When I'm lost in the rain
In your eyes I know I'll find the light
To light my way, when I'm scared losing ground
When my world is going crazy you can turn it all around
And when I'm down you're there pushing me to the top
You're always there giving me all you've got
For a shield, from the storm for a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm, I turn to you
For the strength to be strong, for the will to carry on
For everything you do, for everything that's true, I turn to you
When I lose the will to win
I just reach for you and I can reach the sky again
I can do anything 'cause your love is so amazing
'Cause your love inspires me
And when I need a friend you're always on my side
Giving me faith taking me through the night
For a shield, from the storm, for a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm, I turn to you
For the strength to be strong and for the will to carry on
For everything you do I turn to you yeah
For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain
For truth that will never change for someone to lean on
But for a heart I can rely on through anything
For the one who I can run to oh I turn to you
For a shield from the storm, for a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm, I turn to you
For the strength to be strong, for the will to carry on
For everything you do, for everything that's true

8. ALL I NEED
Kissing your lips, kissing you top to toe
Wishing for this, hoping for all you know
Hearing you breathe, you leave and return
Oh how we take, how we give, we learn
Taking my time, seeing the signs, letting you guide me home
Watching you grow, letting you know you are my only
You bring me hope when I can't breathe
You give me love, you're all I need
Slowly I'm holding you closely
You're wrapped in my arms
And you're inside me
I tell you my fears, telling you everything
Telling the truth to you gives me wings
Free with my words, free as a bird
I am flying high
Looking at you, everything new, you are my life
You bring me hope when I can't breathe
And you give me love, you're all I need
Slowly I'm holding you closely
So happy to carry you inside me
I'll feed you love and I hope it's enough to inspire you through suffering
Holding you up
You bring me hope when I can't breathe
You give me love, you're all I need
Slowly I'm holding you closely
You're wrapped in my arms
And you're inside me
La la la la..

10. WHEN YOU PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME
When you put your hands on me..
When you put your hands on me..
I don't know about the travel of time
And I've never seen most of the world
I don't know
Diving out of the sky
Or living like the diamonds
of pearls
See I haven't danced to a musical tune
And I haven't noticed the flowers in bloom
I haven't smiled
When alone in my room very much
Then we touched
[Chorus:]
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel sexy
And my body turns to gold
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel ready
And I lose my self-control
When you put your hands on me..
I don't know if a doll can unwind
Or how to make a person go
I don't know how to be what you like
And simply open up the depth of my soul
So I keep my wings
And my eyes on the down
Ready for nothing
But holding my ground
I haven't used
A particular noun very much
Then we touched
[Chorus]
When you put your hands on me..
When you put your hands on me..
I won't notice
Or pay you no mind
Boy I couldn't care less
What you do with your time
Your fingertips on my hips
Just move me like one of a kind
When you put your hands on me
I feel so sexy
And my body turns to gold
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel ready
And I lose my self-control
[Chorus To Fade Out]

11. A SONG FOR YOU
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
We're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life coz’ you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life coz’ you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together,baby
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

12. GENIE IN A BOTTLE
[Songwriters: Frank, David; Sheyne, Pam; Kipner, Stephen A;]
I feel like I've been locked up tight
For a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone to release me
You're licking your lips and blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby, baby, baby
(Baby, baby, baby)
My body is saying let's go
But my heart is saying no
If you wanna be with me, baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression, I gotta like what you do
I'm a genie in a bottle baby, you gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby, come, come, come on and let me out
The music's fading and the lights down low
Just one more dance and then were good to go
Waiting for someone who needs me
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby
(Baby, baby, baby)
My body is saying let's go
But my heart is saying no
(But my heart is saying no)
If you wanna be with me, baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way
(I'm a genie in a bottle)
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
(Wish come true)
Just come and set me free baby and I'll be with you
I'm a genie in a bottle baby, you gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby, come, come, come on and let me out
I'm a genie in a bottle baby, you gotta rub me the right way honey
(If you wanna be with me)
I'm a genie in a bottle baby, come, come, come on and let me out
My body is saying let's go
But my heart is saying no, no
If you wanna be with me, baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way
(I'm a genie in a bottle)
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression, I gotta like what you do
If you wanna be with me, baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way

If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
Just come and set me free baby and I'll be with you
I'm a genie in a bottle baby, come, come, come, on and let me out

13. WHAT A GIRL WANTS
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever makes me happy and sets you free.
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever keeps me in your arms.
And I'm thanking you for being there for me.
Like a rock you waited so patiently, while I got it together.
While I figured it out, I only looked but I never touched,
'Cause in my heart was a picture of us:
Holding hands, making plans,
And it's lucky for me, you understand.
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever makes me happy and sets you free.
And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly...
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever keeps me in your arms.
And I'm thanking you for being there for me.
A weaker man might have walked away, but you had faith
Strong enough to move over and understand, while I got it together.
While I figured it out, they say, "If you love something let it go.
If it comes back it's yours, and that's how you know.
It's for keeps, yeah, it's for sure."
And you're ready and willing to give me more [than]....
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever makes me happy and sets you free.
And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly...
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever keeps me in your arms.
And I'm thanking you for being there for me.
Somebody sensitive and tough;
Somebody there when the going gets rough;
Every night, he'll be giving his love
To just one girl... one girl... one.
Somebody cool but real tender too;
Somebody, baby, just like you
Can keep me hangin' around with the one who always knew.
I'm thankin' you for being there for me.
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever makes me happy and sets you free.
And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly...
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever keeps me in your arms.
And I'm thanking you for being there for me.

14. BEAUTIFUL
[Songwriters: Perry, Linda;]
Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, feel so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is?
'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do
No matter what we do
(No matter what we say)
No matter what we say
(We're the song that's outta tune)
(Full of beautiful mistakes)
(And everywhere we go)
And everywhere we go
(The sun will always shine)
The sun will always, always shine!
(But tomorrow we might awake on the other side)
'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

15. SEX FOR BREAKFAST
Tossing and turning makes my appetite keep growing stronger
All night long
Anticipating morning, lying I can't wait much longer
Feels so strong
Our bodies touching, I just can't get enough
I wanna love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, eh
Won't let you sleep, I gotta satisfy my needs
I need to love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, eh
And when the sun rises, there's one thing on my mind
I want sex for breakfast, stay inside
And even though we made sweet love all night
I need sex for breakfast, feels so right
Might be late for work, but I promise that it's worth it baby
Don't go
So hungry for you, taste me and I'll taste you
There's no stopping what I'll do to get you in the mood
Our bodies touching, I just can't get enough
I wanna love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, eh
Won't let you sleep, want you deep inside of me
So I can love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, eh
And when the sun rises, there's one thing on my mind
I want sex for breakfast, stay inside
And even though we made sweet love all night
I need sex for breakfast, feels so right
And I can see break of day begining through the curtains
And I'm so certain, soon I'm gonna feel your honey drip my juices start to flow
Strawberry cream is like a dream, my fantasy is reality
When the morning comes, I know that I will too
And when the sun rises, there's one thing on my mind
I need sex for breakfast, stay inside
And even though we made sweet love all night
I need sex for breakfast, feels so right
And when the sun rises, there's one thing on my mind
Sex for breakfast (I need it, I want it), stay inside (when the morning comes)
And even though that we made sweet love all night
Sex for breakfast, feels so right
So hungry for you
Taste me, and I'll taste you
Sex for breakfast
All done
Sex for breakfast (feels so right)
