I wanna lean in forward kiss I know it's worth it
I barely know you baby, but I know it's time.

Chorus:
You see the way the strobe lights are dancing,
I look in your eyes and I (feel like falling in love tonight)
Tonight (falling in love tonight)
And baby I'm all for taken chances (romance is in the air)
Feel like falling in love tonight
Falling in love tonight (your body baby)
And when the moon gets high let's start with some kisses
(Falling in love tonight)
I hear the wind whisper your name in the air
(Falling in love tonight)
Last night you're the one I was missin'
(Falling in love tonight)
But tonight you're standing right there
(Falling in love tonight)


Verse 2:
Feel like a movie, the DJ plays the soundtrack,
And I feel like I found that man who wants my heart.

Chorus:
You see the way the strobe lights are dancing,

2. I BELIEVE.

Have you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star
And tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
And the magic that surrounds you
Can lift you up and guide you on your way

[Chorus:]
I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
You see I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally, I believe

When you look out in the distance
You see it never was that far
Ohhh No
Heaven knows your existance
And leads you to be everything you are
Ohhh
There's a time for every soul to fly
It's in the eyes of every child
It's the hope, the love that saves the world
And, ohhh, we should never let it go

[Chorus]

I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible
When you believe yeah

[Chorus]

Ohh Yeah

Love keeps liftin me higher
Liftin me higher
Love keeps liftin me higher
I said love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me
I said Love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me higher
Said love keeps liften me higher
I said love keeps liften me high

3. WHEN I SEE YOU

I put your picture on my mirror
Start to blush when somebody says your name
In my stomach there's a pain
See you walking my direction, I go the other way
I start to stutter when I speak
Try to stand, but my knees go weak
What's happening to me?
Anybody can you tell me what it means?

I lay my head on my pillow
Starring out the window
Wish on a star for a sign
The reason why

You're always on my mind
When you come around I get shy
Baby When I see you
When I see you
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you
When I see you

I scribble X and O's in my notebook
Checking how my hair and my nails look
I feel myself in the zone
I get nervous when you call, so I say I'm not home
I see your face when I hear my favorite song
Should I send an e-mail at home?
You're the #1 topic on the phone
I wonder if you know, or do yo have a clue? Yeah

I lay my head on my pillow
You got me starring out the window

Wish on a star for a sign
What's the reason why? Yeah

You're always on my mind
When you come around I get shy
(Babe) When I see you
When I see you
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you
(Babe) When I see you

Something now is taking over me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm not gonna run I'm,
Just gonna stand here and see

You're always on my mind
When you come around I get shy
(Babe) When I see you
When I see you
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you
(Babe) When I see you

You're always on my mind
When you come around I get shy
(Babe)When I see you
When I see you
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you
(Babe) When I see you

4. THE THRILL IS GONE

Somethings going on; And Im not saying your to blame
I know Im not your girl, I know your not my man
But somethings wrong, I can't explain

After the waste of time, love lets keep it plain (Don't wanna play)
Cause boy I'm grown and ya, damn near twice my age
So tell me what's happening

So let me know just why i'm feeling strange
Just let me know boy if your feelings changed
Because I feel the way I feel, And I wont let it go until
You let me know cause it ain't feeling the same

Chorus
It's gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Along with games the cars the lies, the thrill is gone
So gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Though it was fun but now we're done the thrill is done

Was is it just chase, You acting like you need some space
Perhaps it was the fact, you want what you can't have
And I won't let you get your way
Why do you pick me up just to cast me away (the love I gave)
Never quite enough, you really got me stuck
I need for you to set it straight.


But let me know just why i'm feeling strange
Just let me know boy if your feelings changed
Because I feel the way I feel, And I wont let go it until
You let me know cause it ain't feeling the same

Chorus
It's gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Along with games the cars the lies, the thrill is gone
So gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Though it was fun but now we're done the thrill is done

Cee-Lo (Rap)

A cocktail keeps me company
While the piano man plays one for me
So similar situation must've sent you
Cause this is too cool to be coincidental

And Oh yes let's not forget
You look like been dipped in hot chocolate
And I means lots of it
So instead of stay we did the opposite
At a red light but I didn't stop for Sh*t!

It's cool, I don't kiss and tell
Oh lord, you don't listen well
It's pleasure...Pains not in my planning
Damn I thought we had a understanfing


Chorus
It's gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Along with games the cars the lies, the thrill is gone
So gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Though it was fun but now we're done the thrill is done

6. I FEEL BEAUTIFUL

[Verse 1:]
Nothing I ever did was good enough for you
Nothing I ever did could ever seem to please you
You always tried to make me feel small
And all I did was give you my heart
Never felt pretty enough
Never felt sexy enough
Never felt good enough
You tried to keep me down on my knees
I got myself back up on my feet
Found the strength to set myself free

[Chorus:]
And I feel beautiful, beautiful
I feel beautiful, beautiful
You could not crush my soul
Crush my soul
Nothing you can do
make you take away my right to feel
Beautiful, beautiful
I was down so low down so low
But I won't be
Won't be brought down anymore
I stand with my head held high
I feel beautiful

[Verse 2:]
use to make me feel like I did nothing right
Use to make me feel like I meant nothing in your life
Always gave all I had to you
All I wanted was for you too
See me as pretty enough
See me as sexy enough
See me as good enough
But all I did was waste all my time
I woke up and open my eyes
Finally took back hold of my life

[Chorus:]
And now I feel beautiful, beautiful
I feel beautiful, beautiful
You could not crush my soul
Crush my soul
Nothing you can do
make you take away my right to feel
Beautiful, beautiful
I was down so low down so low
But I won't be
Won't be brought down anymore
I stand with my head held high
I feel beautiful

[Bridge:]
You tried to make me feel worthless
Now I know I'm not
My worth is priceless
I got back my pride
I took back my life

[Chorus:]
And I feel beautiful, beautiful
I feel beautiful, beautiful
You could not crush my soul
Crush my soul
Nothing you can do
make you take away my right to feel
Beautiful, beautiful
I was down so low down so low
But I won't be
Won't be brought down anymore
I stand with my head held high
I feel beautiful

I feel beautiful
Nothing you can say to me because I feel
beautiful

8. YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine

Little things I should have said and done, oh
I just never took the time, oh yeah oh yeah
You were always on my mind, oh oh yeah
You were always on my mind

Baby
Tell me..
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died, oh yeah
Baby, give me..
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Because you were always on my mind
Oh, oh yeah

Oh yeah
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind yeah

Every day that we have
You were always on my mind

9. NOT THE WAY THAT I DO



She might be the type to let you run all over her
But that's just not that way I do
Believe me if I let you get a sniff of the whiff
You gon' do things the way I do
Better see what the hits you give
Before you try to make a pitch
Recognize why it aint you
Only reason why I'm takin just what everybody give me
Cuz it just aint the way I do

By the walk and the way I talk
I'm givin u love
The game many I loss
By making you fuss
Too many girls in the house
With heart strung out
Complain when they running they mouth
But they like me
Sayin just enough
I aint gotta ever do
Settling is takin' you home
I aint in it for the minute
No pass lives and gimmicks
Next time that ya see me
You'll see why the niggas love me

She might be the type to let you run all over her
But that's just not that way I do
Believe me if I let you get a sniff of the whiff
You gon' do things the way I do
Better see what the hits you give
Before you try to make a pitch
Recognize why it aint you
Only reason why I'm takin just what everybody give me
Cuz it just aint the way I do

Aint the way I do thangs
I do
Aint the way I do thangs
I do
Aint the way I do thangs

What's the reason you keep telling me
You want me
Bets believe that's you know how we get down in the country
In the streets they know I'm a beast but
Bud Please aint no Pimpin'
No p-i-mping they'll be
That'll be...
So much for treating' me like her
Like her
I'm bout to keep it deeper what

How long are the violins gonna play
They don't follow no instructions
They just do what I say

She might be the type to let you run all over her
But that's just not that way I do
Believe me if I let you get a sniff of the whiff
You gon' do things the way I do
Better see what the hits you give
Before you try to make a pitch
Recognize why it aint you
Only reason why I'm takin just what everybody give me
Cuz it just aint the way I do
[x2]

I just wanna see
What it be?
Is it slick?
And it's raised only in the country
It is thick?
It is somethin easy to get the lovin
But you'll see when you wind up lonely
Now if you know get into this is
Running' around aint gon be you
Recognize why it aint you
Only reason why I'm takin just what everybody give me
Cuz it just aint the way I do

She might be the type to let you run all over her
But that's just not that way I do
Believe me if I let you get a sniff of the whiff
You gon' do things the way I do
Better see what the hits you give
Before you try to make a pitch

Only reason why I'm takin just what everybody give me

10. BITTERSWEET

Every now and then
I still get a flashback
Of the time I spent
Thinking you could be that one
Should I have just kept your love?

As I understand,
We did have some good times
On the other hand,
Got me crying all night
It was too much for my mind

So even though I left you
I can't forget you

'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Guess I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet

When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Damn I really love you
I ain't gonna lie

'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet...

I still have the box
Full of things you gave me
Start to throw it out
Something always stops me, yeah
I'm not as over you as I say
Deep inside my heart
I made the right decision
But it's kinda hard
When your mind is thinking of,
Did I make a big mistake?

Even though I left you
I can't forget you

'Cause when I think about you


It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Guess I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet

When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Damn I really love you
I ain't gonna lie

When I think about you
It's bittersweet...

See I don't understand
Like, somebody is gonna get hurt
Out of this situation
And you just hope it's not you

At times...

Part of me wants you, part of me don't
Part of me is missing you, part of me is gone
Part of me is saying that the love is still strong,
Part of me is letting go

So even though I left you
I can't forget you

'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Guess I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet

When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Damn I really love you
I ain't gonna lie

When I think about you, it's bittersweet

It's bittersweet...

11. FREE YOURSELF

Baby you don't pay me no mind
You act like you don't love me no more
Maybe you need space or some time
Your attitude is uppredictable and I don't want to make you unhappy
If your not happy then your free to go on cuz I don't want you stayin around if I make you so
Miserable

[Chorus]
If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me then don't talk to me)
Go ahead and free yourself (go ahead and free yourself)
If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me then don't talk to me)
Go ahead to someone else (go ahead to someone else)
If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me then don't talk to me)
Go ahead and free yourself (go ahead and free yourself)
If you don't want me then don't talk to me (if you don't want me then don't talk to me)
Go ahead to someone else (go ahead to someone else)

[Bridge]
Time again and again I tried I tried (baby don't you know I tried) but the love I had inside has
Died has died (but the love I had inside)

Wont you be a man if it's over and just admit that things aint the same instead of making me
Think its all good
Between us which ones the blame
I took a lot of too much to handle until I can't take this game no more this love thing is full
Of scandal so you welcome to walk

[Chorus]
[Bridge]

I had to take it there I had to take it there because I'm tired oh yeah

[Chorus]

You play games if you don't want me don't talk to me
Hey go ahead and free yourself
Baby if you don't want me don't talk to me I'll be alright go ahead to someone else
Yeah yeah.....
