My baby don't mess around me.
Because she loves me so.
And this I know for sure.
Uh, But does she really wanna.
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the door..
Don't try to fight the feelin'
Because the thought alone is killing me right now.
Uh, Thank God for mom and dad
For sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how.
UH!
[Chorus]
Hey Ya.
Hey Ya.
Hey Ya.
Hey Ya.
[Verse Two - Andre 3000]
You think you've got it
Ohh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it
Til' there's nothing at all.
We get together
Ohh, we get together
But seperate's always better when there's feelings involved.
If what they say is "Nothing is forever".
Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes
then what makes, LOVE (Love exception)
So why you, why you, why you, why you, why you
Are we so in denial?
When you know we're not happy here.
Y'all don't wanna hear me you just wanna dance
[Chorus]
Hey Ya.
Hey Ya.
Don't want to meet your daddy,
Just want you in my Caddy.
Don't want to meet your momma,
Just want to make you cumma.
I'm just being honest.
I'm just being honest.
[Bridge - Andre 3000]

Momma please stop cryin, I can抰 stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn抰 mean those nasty things you
said
You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain抰 easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you抣l see
I don抰 want love to destroy me like it has done
my family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I抣l be better, Mommy I抣l do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I抣l be better, Daddy please don抰
leave
Daddy please stop yellin, I can抰 stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
its true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love
you, too
I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don抰 wanna go back to that place, but don抰 have
no choice, no way
It ain抰 easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don抰 want love to destroy me like it did my
family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I抣l be better, Mommy I抣l do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I抣l be better, Daddy please don抰
leave
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let抯 play pretend, let's act like it comes
naturally
I don抰 wanna have to split the holidays
I don抰 want two addresses
I don抰 want a step-brother anyways
And I don抰 want my mom to have to change her
last name
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I抣l be better, Mommy I抣l do
anything)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so
naturally
(I promise I抣l be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I抣l be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
Daddy don抰 leave
Daddy don抰 leave
Daddy don抰 leave
Turn around please
Remember that the night you left you took my
shining star?
Daddy don抰 leave
Daddy don抰 leave
Daddy don抰 leave
Don't leave us here alone
Mom will be nicer
I抣l be so much better, I抣l tell my brother
Oh, I won抰 spill the milk at dinner
I抣l be so much better, I抣l do everything right
I抣l be your little girl forever
I抣l go to sleep at night
Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
That I sometimes cry
If I could pretend that I'm asleep
When my tears start to fall
I peek out from behind these walls
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows no
Nobody likes
Nobody likes to lose their inner voice
The one I used to hear before my life
Made a choice
But I think nobody knows
No no
Nobody knows
No
Baby
Oh the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
And I've lost my way back home
I think nobody knows no
I said nobody knows
Nobody cares
It's win or lose not how you play the game
And the road to darkness has a way
Of always knowing my name
But I think nobody knows
No no
Nobody knows no no no no
Baby
Oh the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
And I've lost my way back home
And oh no no no no
Nobody knows
No no no no no no
Tomorrow I'll be there my friend
I'll wake up and start all over again
When everybody else is gone
No no no
Nobody knows
Nobody knows the rhythm of my heart
The way I do when I'm lying in the dark
And the world is asleep
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
me
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
cause you said forever
and ever
who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew
There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me
He said,
"Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see."
Then he said,
"Here's a riddle for yah
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I..."
Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything 'cause in in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me
He said,
"Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me"
And Hey Dad
Here's a riddle for yah
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
I said,
"Son for all I've told yah
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world...
Who am I?"
There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...
The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is high over me
Something comes over me
I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely
Here's a riddle for yah
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you抮e wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you抮e on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
You want all my love
and my devotion
You want my love and soul
right on the line
I have no dought doubt
that I could love you, forever
the only trouble is
you really don抰 have the time
Chorus:
You抳e got one night only
one night only
that抯 all you 抳e got have to spare
one night only

One night only
one night only
come on, big baby come on
one night only

Effie:
In the morning

Something so right

So let抯 forget about chances
It抯 one night I will give
Chorus;
One night only
One night only

One night only

One night only
Ones Once getting away

Everywhere I'm turning

For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
Slave to humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman
For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman
When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oooohh
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

Who ever told you I was letting go
Of the only joy that I have ever known
Girl, they were lying

Even the day must give way to the night
But I'm not buying
Cos in your eyes
I see a love that burns eternally
And if you see how beautiful you are to me
You'll know I'm not lying

There are some things in this life won't be denied
Won't be denied

This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always
You know you're everything to me and I could never see
The two of us apart
And you know I give myself to you and no matter what you do
I promise you my heart
I've built my world around you and I want you to know
I need you like I've never needed anyone before
I live my life for you
I want to be by your side in everything that you do
And if there's only one thing you can believe is true
I live my life for you
I dedicate my life to you, you know that I would die for you
But our love would last forever
And I will always be with you and there is nothing we can't do
As long as we're together
I just can't live without you and I want you to know
I need you like I've never needed anyone before
I live my life for you
I want to be by your side in everything that you do
And if there's only one thing you can believe is true
I live my life for you
I've built my world around you and I want you to know
I need you like I've never needed anyone before
I live my life for you
I want to be by your side in everything that you do
And if there's only one thing you can believe is true
I live my life for you
[Chorus:]
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gonna fight
Oh yes we gonna fight
Believe we gonna fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you
Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody thought we'd last forever
I feel 'em hopin' and prayin'
Things between us don't get better
Men steady comin' after you
Women steady comin' after me
Seem like everybody wanna go for self
And don't wanna respect boundaries
Tellin' you all those lies
Just to get on your side
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
But just know that I tried
To always apologize
And I'ma have you first always in my heart
To keep you satisfied
[Chorus]
Got every right to wanna leave
Got every right to wanna go
Got every right to hit the road
And never talk to me no more
You don't even have to call
Even check for me at all
Because the way I been actin' lately
Has been off the wall
Especially toward you
Puttin' girls before you
And they watchin' everything I been doin'
Just to hurt you
Most of it just ain't true
Ain't true
And they won't show you
How much of a queen you are to me
And why I love you baby
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh
'Cause I got you
'Cause I got you
Oh
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause I got you
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gonna fight
Oh yes we gonna fight
Believe we gonna fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gonna fight
Oh yes we gonna fight
Believe we gonna fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you
From those around i hear a cry
an awful soft a hopeless sigh
i hear their footsteps leaving slow & then i know my
SOUL MUST FLY
a chilly wind begins to blow within my soul from head to toe
& then the last breath escapes my lips
it's time to leave & join my soul
so it's true but it's too late
they said each soul has it's given date
when it must leave its body's core
and meet with it's eternal fate
at last it's come to
HEAVEN OR HELL
decide which now
do not delay
come on my brothers let us pray
decide which now do not delay
OH GOD!OH GOD!
i cannot see my eyes are blind
am i still me?
or has my soul been led astray
and forced to pay a priceless fee?
alas to dust we all return
& shall rejoice while others burn
if only i knew that before the line grew short & came my turn
& now as beneath the soil
they lay me with my record flawed
they cry not knowing that i cried worse
for they go home
i face my God
oh!mark the words that i do say
who know tomorrow could be your day
at last it's come to
HEAVEN OR HELL?
decide which now do not delay
come on my brothers let us pray
decide which now do not delay
[Brian:]
Walking along the sky
Chasing a glimpse of you
Painting a world with stars I found inside your eyes
Up here above the haze
Everything looks so clear
Wondering what it would be like if you were here
[Nick:]
And time takes time ([Howie:] takes time)
But I can't wait
To tell you how I feel
[Chorus:]
Oh, you're the calm when my world is crashing
My heart, my blood, my passion
Why, tell me why
You're everything but mine
I hold you close when it all goes crazy
And through it all, you'll be my lady
Why, tell me why
You're everything
Everything but mine
[AJ:]
You don't have to be afraid
Of somebody else's touch
Just gimme a chance to prove
Just how you should be loved
[Nick:]
And time, it takes time ([Howie:] takes time)
It's not too late
To tell you how I feel
[Repeat Chorus]
[AJ:]
Everything but mine
Mine I know, oh baby
Someday you'll come around
I'm gonna leave the light on
And I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
[All:]
I won't let you down
[Repeat Chorus]
[AJ:]
You're everything but mine
You're everything but mine
You're the sun, you're the star
You're the moon, you're the rain
Love your lips, love your eyes
Drivin' me insane, oh baby, baby
Everything but mine
You're everything but mine
Didn't they say that I would make a mistake
Didn't they say you were gonna be trouble
People told me you were too much to take
I could see it, I didn't wanna know
I let you in and you let me down
You pushed me up and you turned my whole life around
I could feel that I had no where to go
I was alone, how was I too know that..
You'll be there, when I needed somebody
You'll be there, the only one who can help me
I had a picture of you in my mind
never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
the friend that was there all along.
Who'd believe that after all we've been through
I'd be able to put my whole trust in you
Goes to show you can't forgive and forget
looking back, I have no regrets cause..
You will be there, when I needed somebody
You will be there, the only one to help me
I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
the friend that was there all along
You will be there, when I needed somebody
You will be there, the only one to help me
I had a picture of you in my mind
never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
the friend that was there all along [Repeat to fade]
