Oh oh my goodness
I didn't know I was here
Do you know my name? (Can't go wrong when you try)
Alwayz got to try

Whatever stops you from dreamin'
Whatever trys to stop you from livin'

Cuz right now what I got to do is
I gotta amp myslelf up as well as you
So yea, so what it took me like
Maybe 2 years and shit
But I fell in prepared

And I'm feelin' a little more ready for the world
And less loss
As I once was So come on
What chu waitin' on?
Feel me, feel me, feel me

2) Girlfriend 
Baby, silly for me to feel this way about you and her
Cuz I know she's been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through
Talkin late on the phone
Every night you've been callin
Private moments alone
And your heart soon be fallin
And I know she's a friend
But I can't shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
You said that she's one well to see
How deep you're in love with me
And intentions were not to get inbetween
But I see possibilites
And you say that you feel
I'm the best thing in your life
And I know it's real
I see it in your eyes
There's no reason for me, to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
3) How Come You Don't Call Me
But all I wanna know baby is
If what we had was good...
I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm)
And I still remember everything you said (mmm)
I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone
(And I'm not tryin' hear that sh*t)
What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Still light the fire on the rainy night
Still like it better when your holding me tight
Everybody say
Everybody say that we should never part (mmm)
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart
All I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh you gotta try
I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please please please
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa
Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone
How come you don't call me
(why must you torture me)
How come you don't call me
4) Fallin'
I keep on fallin'
In and out of love
With you
Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes u make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin you darlin'
Makes me so confused
I keep on Fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
Oh, oh , I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain
Just when I think
Ive taken more than would a fool
I start fallin' back in love with you
I keep on Fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
Oh baby
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
Fall

In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
What?
5) Troubles
Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah
Dear Lord can you take it away? (Oooh)
This pain in my heart that follows me by day
And at night it stalks me like the shadows on my wall (Mmmmm)
Oh my goodness
[coro]
Feels like the world is closin' on me
Feels like my dreams will never come to me
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared
If you're troubled, you just gotta let it go
If you're worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustles aint for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let it go
Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me down
I can't seem to get away
Continous mistakes I know I've made before
How long will I feel so out of place
[ripeti coro x4]
6) Rock Wit U
There's no escape on the spell you have placed
Leaving my heart and my mind
Foolish am I if I was to try to ever leave you behind
I wanna rock wit you, come give me all your love
No matter what we do, I wanna rock wit you
Wit you wit only you, wit you wit only you
I wanna rock wit you
I'll stay and walk this life wit you
No matter what we may go through
Dead broke, no job, no house, no ride
I'm goin' stay right by your side
I wanna rock wit you, come give me all your love
No matter what we do, I wanna rock wit you
Wit you wit only you, wit you wit only you

[fade out]
7) A Woman's Worth
You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candle
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last, to last
Cause baby you know I'm worth it
Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right
Not just dough but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth
Mmm
Cause a real man, knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a womans worth
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
Mm
If you treat me fairy
I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
Cause baby I know you're worth it
She walks the mile makes you smile all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passions that she has for you
You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth
Oh
Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
No need to read between the lines spelled out for you (spelled out for you)
Just hear this song cause you can't go wrong when you value (better value)
A woman's (woman's)
Woman's (woman's)
WORTH!
Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her

9) Goodbye
Mhmn bye bye
How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
I know now I was naïve
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
Is this the end are you sure
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard to just let go
When this is the one and only love I've ever known
So how do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
[Fade out]
10) The Life
Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life
Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind
'Cause when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for
You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through
All the hard times that's going to face you
This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you
Looking back at single horrors, this madness makes me want to hide
Slowly, internally, I'm dying
Pillow case is wet from all my crying
There is nothing more for me to live for
Take me away, I can't live that life no more
This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive
I'm just trying to get over
11) Mr. Man duet with Jimmy Cozier
[Jimmy Cozier]
Somethin' about the way you smiled at me juss drove me wild
Wish I could know if your alone, don't wanna cramp your style
But I cannot deny the feel that I feel when I look straight into your eyes
Feel my heart beating fast for a challenge may arise
I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)

Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair
[Alicia Keys]
Like the way you've given me attention through the nite
Like the way you've given me attention through the nite
Maybe I've had too much remy, my man's right by my side
Everytime I catch you watchin' me I feel somethin' down my spine
I'll play the game, it's just for fun and only for tonite
I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do)
I think you hopin' theres a chance for me and you (and you)
Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't? (we can't)
If theres no way meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)
Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man,
Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man,unfair to Mr.Man
[Alicia]
I know all you wanna know is answers
[Jimmy]
Cuz you could give me what I need
[Alicia]
We both know that we're attracted
Should we let our desires lead?
I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do)
I wanna know if theres a chance for me and you (and you)
If theres no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't)

12) Never Felt This Way interlude
ahhhh...
ahhhhhhhh...
There will never come a day
You will ever hear me say
That I want
Or need to be without you
I wanna give my all
Baby just hold me
Simply control me
Because your arms, they keep away the lonelies
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
All I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life
Cause I never felt this way about lovin ...Nooooo
Never felt so good..baby
Never felt this way about love
And it feels so good
13) Butterflyz
HuMmMmM......
Lately when I look into your eyes
Baby I fly, your the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don't know how to describe,
How lovely you make me feel inside
You give me butterflyz
Have me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Have me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
It seems like the likly thing??
From the start you told me
I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring
I wanna give you everything
You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flyin so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz

You give me something I just cant deny
Something thats so free
I just can't control the way I feel
And I don't ??
You give me somthing I just can't deny
Something thats so free
Oh I never felt like this.
14) Why Do I Feel So Sad
Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be
Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh
By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
[Ad-lib fino alla fine]
15) Caged Bird
Right now I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and rivalry
They din't know how I feel inside
Through my smile I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free
So she can
Fly, fly, fly
Spreadin her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see
She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty
16) Lovin' U hidden track
If I gave you forever
Would you take care of me (a oo)
Would you take me for granted
On the way
Those wonderful things that you do
They got me feelin'
In love with you
In love with you
That loving you this easy
Comes so naturally
Loving you this easy
Comes so naturally
I would give you laughter
Oh
And so much more than that
Oh yes I would (a oo)
And to find your laughter
I would climb the highest mountain to bring it back
you better believe
Those wonderful things that you do
They got me feelin'
In love with you
In love with you
That loving you this easy
Comes so naturally
Loving you this easy
Comes so naturally

1) Harlem's Nocturne
(Piano)
Drop it
Yeah, yeah
Come in for a minute,
Welcome back
It's just me and you in this room right now
There's so many things that are on my mind

So I take all I've got
And so I take all I have
And I put it into this

2) Karma
Weren't you the one that said, that you don't want me anymore.
And how you need your space, and give the keys back to your door.
And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me.
But still you said that love was gone, and that I had to leave.
Now you, talkin bout a family
Now you, sayin I complete your dream
Now you, sayin I'm your everything
You confusin me
What you say to me
Don't play with me
Don't play with me.
Cause what goes around, comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me
What goes around, comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
Now who's cryin, desirin to come back
I remember when
I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you
Til 3 o'clock in the morn
And when you came home, you'd always have some sorry excuse.
And explainin to me, like I'm just some kinda fool
I sacrifice the things I want to and do things for you
But when it's time to do for me, you never come through
Now you, wanna be a bond of me (eyyy)
Now you, have so much to say to me (heyy)
Now you, wanna make time for me
What you do to me.
You confusin me
Don't play with me
Don't play with me.

Adrenaline rushin in my body, Over my power I just can't fight it.

Gettin beside myself

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
And in a world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
No one to share, no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

9) Wake Up
You used to my closed ally
In this cold, cold world of deception and lies
We would defend and protect one another
Now I can't tell if we are enemies or lovers
So who's gonna rescue us from ourselves
When are we gonna wake up
Baby, it's time for loving
When are we gonna wake up
My baby, before it's too late
Oh baby
Where did we go wrong, baby
Did this cold, cold world turn us in a stone
Well
Now all that battle
Is your ego and your pride
It's ticking like a time bomb
Ready to ignite
Hurt me to fight
So who's gonna rescue us from ourselves
When are we gonna wake up
Baby, it's time for loving
When are we gonna wake up
My baby, before it's too late
When are we gonna wake up
Baby, it's time for loving
When are we gonna wake up
My baby, before it's too late
When the smoke clears
What will be left for us but tears and pains
Why must we argue over the same things
Just to make your friend go back again
It's never too late
Living to own
Can't get it right when no one thinks they're wrong
Gotta get out of the bed
And take a look what's going on
Oh when are we gonna wake up
Baby, it's time for loving
When are we gonna wake up
My baby, before it's too late
When are we gonna wake up

And how it is
There's been a change
When it comes to me, yeah
Oh baby you, oh baby me,
Oh maybe we can try another day, another way
All in my mind,

We can not find what was left at the beginning
If I could kiss you again
If I could kiss you again
If I could kiss you again
It would be, it would be so simple
Cause I would love you again, hold you again, kiss you again
It would be, it would be,
Could it be, could it be so simple
Now it's hardly simple
It's just simply hard, when it comes to you and
I'm by myself
Not being myself
Just to avoid all this confrontation with
Oh baby you, oh baby me,
Oh maybe we, can put this armor down and settle down
Oh it's off track
That is a fact
Can we get it back, get it back to the beginning
If I could
Kiss you again
Kiss you again
Kiss you again
It would be, it would be so simple
Cause I would love you again, hold you again, kiss you again
It would be, it would be,

11) When You Really Love Someone
I'm a woman
Lord knows it's hard
I need a real man to give me what I need
Sweet attention, love and tenderness
When it's really unconditional
I'm telling yall
Cause a man just ain't a man if he ain't man enough
To love ya when you're right
Love ya when you're wrong
Love ya when you're weak
Love ya when you're strong
Take you higher when the world got you feeling low
He's giving you his last, cause he's thinking of you first
Giving comfort when he's thinking that you're hurt
That's what's done when you really really love someone
I'm telling yall, I'm telling yall
Cause you're a real man
And Lord knows it's hard
Sometimes you just need a woman's touch
Sweet affection, love and support
When it's really unconditional
I'm telling yall, oh
Cause a woman ain't a woman if she ain't woman enough
To love ya when you're right
Love ya when you're wrong
Love ya when you're weak
Love ya when you're strong
Take you higher when the world got you feeling low
She's giving you her best, even when you are at your worst
Giving comfort when she's thinking that you're hurt
That's what's done when you really really love someone
I'm telling ya, I'm telling ya
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sometimes you're gonna argue, sometimes you're gonna fight
Sometime it's gonna feel it'll never be right
But something so strong keeps you holding on
It don't make sense but it makes a good song
Cause a man just ain't a man if he ain't man enough
To love ya when you're right
Love ya when you're wrong
Love ya when you're weak
Love ya when you're strong
Take you higher when the world got you feeling low
He's giving you his last, as he's thinking of you first
Giving comfort when he's thinking that you're hurt
That's what's done when you really really love someone
I'm telling yall, I'm telling yall
I'm telling yall that if a woman ain't a woman if she ain't woman enough

Oh baby there's something that I got to tell ya
Thing that you should know what's on my mind
Oh baby I'm feelin our situation
It's getting stronger, how we want it
But I gotta take my time
See there's so much about you that I want to explore
Physical attraction we just can't ignore it
But before we go too far across the line
Gotta really make sure that I'm sure
Mmm slow down baby, let's take our time
Slow down baby, if you don't mind
Slow down baby, before we make this move
Slow down baby, baby slow down
I think it's really too soon
Oh baby it's like I've been knowin you forever
My medulla oblongata is electrified
Oh baby whenever we're alone together
About to explore it, and it feels so right

There's so much about you that I want to explore
Physical attraction we just can't ignore it
But before we go too far across the line
Gotta really make sure that I'm sure
Slow down baby, let's take our time
Slow down baby, if you don't mind
Slow down baby, before we make this move
Slow down baby, baby slow down

But this time around I don't wanna do that again
I just want to make this the way that I've dreamed of
So baby you gotta slow down baby, let's take our time
Slow down baby, if you don't mind (its really too soon)

14) Samsonite Man
I don't wanna do this over and over
He's a man so full of style and grace
Any woman being impressed
Takes a smile and paints it on your face
Makes you feel like you've been blessed
Promises things so special
Seems to come right from a song
Soon as you begin to feel secure
Turn around and he is gone
Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go
Packing his bags,gotta go
He's a Samsonite Man
Maybe he is just a rollin stone
Wandering from here to there
Searching for a place to call his home
Wonder if he even cares
So many years of heartache and pain
That's all you seem to know him for
Is it you, or is it he to blame?
Whenever he walks out your door
Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go
Packing his bags,gotta go
He's a Samsonite Man
Where you're always running to, away from me
If the wind blows you in my direction
You'd come through the rendezvous
Forget about your good attention
Leave me lonely and confused
Mr.Samsonite pack a bag
That is my suggestion
From here on out you will be leaving
My distraction yeah
So I know the game baby
And it will never be the same (no no no no no)
cause now I got him
Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go (2x)
Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go (Now you gotta go)
Packing his bags,gotta go (I can't take it no more)
Packing his bags,gotta go, gotta go (What do I love him for)
Packing his bags,gotta go
He's a Samsonite Man
Why don't you just go
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, woah woah yeah yeah
You can't hurt me no more baby
You can't touch me
You can't hurt me no more baby
Gotta go, gotta go
Pack your bag, pack it up
Gotta go, hit the road Jack
You ain't gotta go home, but you can get the hell outta here
15) Nobody Not Really
Who really cares?
Who really cares when I talk?
What I feel?
What I say?
Nobody not really
Who wants to take, the time to find a stand?
I would like someone to heal me with some empathy
That I can't find
Nobody not really
Maybe I'm invisible to the world
Is there anyone in the world even think of me
As more than just a hopeless cause
Maybe the world is not my block
My stoop
My life
My dreams
My anything, anything
Who wants to help?
Oh but she's so tired
Powerful, but you're not here
I'm alone in a big empty space with
Nobody not really
16) Streats of New York feat. Nas & Rakim (bonus track)
[Nas] (Alicia Keys)
Nasty, yeah, yeah (New York, New York)
Hey yo black it's time again, yeah, yeah
(New York, New York)
Come here, yeah, yeah
(New York, New York)
Hey yo black it's time
[Nas]
If you knew my streets
You would know all everybody talk about is who got beef
Who snitchin, who told police
Who came home, who still gone, who restin in peace
Now they killin over music money, not drugs, rap replaced it
Cause thugs with no brains got no patience
New jacks I pistol whip 'em with the funky rhythm I be kickin
Musician and flatten composition
A pain, I'm like Saddam Hussein
Still alive lookin at his dead children's burnt remains
I burnt the game, learnt you lames a new lesson
Your crew's soft man, ya'll need some new weapons
The P's breathe Warriorz and skullies and Timmies
Around mixed, spics, niggaz and giddies
From my ghetto kings in deep thought we don't blink
But don't think we wastin our time
It's a New York State of Mind
[Chorus #1 - Alicia Keys]
New York, New York, New York
New York City, whoa oh
New York, New York, New York
New York City, baby
[Alicia Keys]
It's like a jungle, out here
So much struggle, out here
And my dream's still unphased
Greed still the cousin of death
Always feels like always somethin farther time
In the Streets of New York
(New York state of mind, New York State of mind)
[Alicia Keys]
All I see is street homes
And who it's holdin, our people
Only comforts the brain
It's like I'm going insane
The revolution has to start, don't waste no time
In the Streets of New York
(New York state of mind, New York state of mind)
C'mon
[Chorus #2 - Alicia Keys]
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
State of mind (New York City)
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
State of crime (New York City)
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
Big dreams (New York City)
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
Big schemes
[Alicia Keys]
Oh, break the game
Just ain't the same
Baby loves and girls with no shame
Can't get away (get away), epidemic plague
Every hood in every state
Don't have no reasons cause relieve is hard to find
[Break - Alicia Keys]
In the streets of New York (New York state of mind) - 4X
[Rakim]
I'm from the home of a million legends and trend settin
A lot of footsteps to follow, I've been steppin
Mind stressin tryin to find a record crime shreddin
Time precious, I ain't have rest since nine eleven
I live fast, hustle like today is my last
I get cash, the struggle's like a day on the Ave.
Crack bein raw, gats squeezin off
Manhattan squeezin off, from cats who tease with war
The eve of the Apocalypse, evil keep movin politics
Every block is at risk, the metropolitan metropolis
The opposite of Liza Minelli and Frank Sinatra
Alicia Keys, Nas and Ra the gangsta's opera
So New York City walk with me, talk gritty
It's up to us New York it's our city
Here the man come with the anthem, hands up
It's time the thrill is back New York, let's stand up
[Chorus]

11) Wild Horses feat. Adam Levine
Adam:
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away Ooh Ooh
Alicia:
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Make me feel bitter or treat you unkind, baby
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away, Yeah Yeah yeah
Adam:
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Alicia:
Faith has been broken, tears has been cried
Let's do some living before we die
Together:
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

14) Stolen Moments
Remembering the days when our love began
Thinkin of a million ways
to escape and be with you
But reality wasn't just you and i
It was long drawn out days and lonely nights
Dreamin' bout you
i keep dreamin' bout you
when im dreamin' bout when you would say
chorus
let me take you to another place
when nothing ever seems to matter
its just you and me
we can take flight like a thief in the night
stolen moments with you (o0ohhh o0o0oh)
Destiny didn't have such a simple plan (simple plan)
I was just a girl and you a young man
how could age define
something so divine (so divine)
Can this even be real or just exist in my mind
Dreamin' bout you
i keep dreamin' bout you
when im dreamin' bout when you would say
[chorus]
Dreamin' bout you
i keep dreamin' bout you
when im dreamin' and waiting for the day
when no one and nothing else takes up our time
finally you're only mine
Each and everyday
i'd walk with you right by my side
but instead we have to hide
sneak around and lie
just to spend time alone
If lovin is a crime
i'd rather do the time
and leave the world behind
[chorus]
Let's get away
Let's get away
oooh ooh
we can get away
we can get away
ohhh ohhh
Let's get away
Let's get away

We can get away

16) Love It Or Leave It Alone feat. Mos Def & Common /
Common:
Mad love for the culture
Since the days of Addidas and hip hop posters
Now I host with Mos and just to boast to brag or bet about it
Cause I can’t live without it
Seen her on the streets when I was like ten
Especially’s of a lagged and young black man
Do back spins in back yards coz we rap harder
People to likes us now we black stars
Gift from God
They said we must be crazy
Now they saying Common, Nasir and Jay Z
Leaders of tomorrow
Follow the steps of Africa's rap in the ghettos making it spressed up
Yo we bring the light we do it tonight
Alicia Keys and Mos Def bring it right
We come down and bam! And rock who I am
Common Sense, yo! I rip the band, yo!
Together:
You gotta love it or leave it alone [x8]
Mos Def:
Peep it out while I tell you like this
A fresh to the soil be sure you don’t miss
It’s the… true for ya, true feature
I could go on for days about it screaming: Alicia!
Walking down the block with brother Common Sense
Call grand Common Sense
So what the heck so I
Show this fresh girl that you always sure
Before and then my heart should be adored and
Can’t front
Another ignore it’s Aquarius love and highly secure
Daje Mahal
And really getting in and fantasize of my life for a one or two winners
And my man Common Sense just stopped and said
yo stop frontin' and use your head!
yo stop frontin' and use your head!
yo stop frontin' and use your fucking head
Together:
You gotta love it or leave it alone [x8]

Then them wheel and pop off and them start clap it
With the pin file dung and it a beat drop it

Broken promises
My heart you stole
Lies you told
Got the best of me
Digging in my heart of gold
Used to look at you
And see the possibilities
I see you for who you are
Boy you’ve disappointed me
I thought you gave me love
Was never near enough

Love wait of what is real
Know all I need to know
But see you got to go
What have you given me
But lies lies
Go head go on and get up out of here
Go head baby
You knew you was wrong
You knew all along
Must be crazy
If you think I’m gone fall for this anymore
Everybody say no no no no no
Everybody say no no no no no
You still believe in every word you said
Clouds my head
Leaving me here to drown
Hopes and dreams therefore dead
You point your finger
Trying to justify your mistakes
Oh change is goin to be made
So you best be on your way
I thought you gave me love
Was never near enough
Soon enough time reveals
Love wait of what is real
Know all I need to know
But see you got to go
What have you given me ?
But lies lies
Go head go on and get up out of here
Go head baby
You knew you was wrong
You knew all along
Must be crazy
If you think I’m gone fall for this anymore
Everybody say no no no no no
Everybody say no no no no no
No need to apologize
Don’t try to make it right

I should known betta
When you took hold
I was sold
Using fear to control
Now it unfolds
Let me tell you right now
What I’m gonna do
I made up my mind
Its time and I’m through with you
Nothing you can say or can do
Can make me change my mind
Go head go on and get up out of here
Go head baby
You knew you was wrong
You knew all along
Must be crazy
If you think I’m gone fall for this anymore
Everybody say no no no no no
Everybody say no no no no no
3) Superwoman
Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
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 Superwoma
4) No One

Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry cause
Everything’s gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

And my heart is hurting

Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
I’m telling you that
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
oh oh oh....
5) Like You'll Never See Me Again
If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
(Was it everything that you were looking for?)
If I couldn’t feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I’d be wishing you were here
(To be everything that I’d be looking for)
I don’t wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed
So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you’ll love me
Love me like you’ll never see me again
Oh Oh Ohhhhh
How many really know what love is?
No you never will
Do you know until you lose it
(That it’s everything that we are looking for)
When I wake up in the morning
You’re beside me
I’m so thankful that I found
(Everything that I been looking for)
I don’t wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed
So everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you’ll love me
Love me like you’ll never see me again
So everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again

Every time you touch me

Touch me like this is the last time

Promise that you’ll love me
(I want you to promise me)
Love me like you’ll never see me again
(like you’ll never see me again)
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
6) Lesson Learned feat. John Mayer
He broke my heart
and now it’s raining
just to rub it in
I'm at your door
I feel so crazy about it
You'll say I told you so
You saw it long ago
You knew he had to go
I finally came around
I'm back on solid ground
Can’t let it get me down
It’s alright (x3)
It’s alright
It’s alright(x3)
Yes I was burned, but I call it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned, so I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned
Sometimes
Some lies
Can take a minute to fully realize
His tears
Your eyes
Thirty seconds to apologize
You'll give him one more chance
Just like the time before
But he already knows
You'll give 100 more
Until that night in bed
You'll wake up in a sweat
You're racing to the door
Can't take it anymore
I was burned but I call it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned, so I call it a lesson learned
My soul had returned so I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned
Lifes perfect, it ain’t perfect you don’t know what the struggles for
Falling down ain’t fallin down if you don't cry when you hit the floor
It's called the past cause i'm gettin past
And I ain’t nothing like I was before.
You ought to see me now
Yes I was burned, but I call it a lesson learned
Mistake, I returned so I called it a lesson learned
My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned
Wooooaaa

11) Where Do We Go From Here
We're at the crossroads, my dear
Where do we go from here?
Maybe you won't go, maybe you'll stay
Oh I know I'm gonna miss you either ways
It's such a lonely road
Where do we go from here?
All I can do is (follow the tracks of my tears)
Oh when I cry your name
Am I crawling in bed
Oh and am I waiting only to drown in pain
Oh
Don't you do it
No, said don't you leave me this way
I don't know
If I can lift my head and face another day
Ooh it's such a lonely road
Where do we go from here?
All I can do is (follow the tracks of my tears)
You seem now the kind of girl who's lost and looking for direction
(Who could this be? Staring at me)
When I'm looking in the mirror trying to find a resolution
(Me too far gone, to find my way home)
Where do we go from here?
All I can do is (follow the tracks of my tears)
12) Prelude To A Kiss

Like I don’t belong anywhere
And it’s gonna take so long
For me to get somewhere
Sometimes I feel
So heavy hearted
But I can’t explain
Cuz I’m so guarded
But that’s a lonely road to travel
And a heavy load to bare
And it’s a long, long way to heaven
But I gotta get there
Can you send an angel?
Can you send me an angel?
Guide me
13) Tell You Something (Nana's Reprise)
Guess I'm caught up everyday
Tryin’ to keep it all together
While the time just slips away
See I know nothing lasts forever
Imagine there was no tomorrow
Imagine that I couldn't see your face
There'd be no limit to my sorrow
So all I can say
I wanna tell you something
Give you something
Show you in so many ways
Cuz it would all mean nothing
If I don't say something
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour
Let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you something
show you something
Won't wait till it's too late
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
I won't wait till it's too late
Just a simple conversation
Just a moment is all it takes (yeah)
I wanna be there just to listen
(I wanna be here)
And I don't wanna hesitate (oh no)
Imagine there was no tomorrow (imagine)
Imagine that I couldn't see your face (your face)
There'd be no limit to my sorrow (oh no)
Cuz there is nothing that can fill this space
I don't wanna put it off for too long
I didn't say all that I had to say
I wanna take the time to right the wrongs
Before we get to the play
I wanna tell you something
Give you something
Show you in so many ways
Cuz it would all mean nothing
if I don't say something
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour
Let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you something
Show you something
Won't wait till it's too late
Just lean on my shoulder
It's not over til it's over
Don't worry boy
Cuz i'm gonna make sure
I'm gonna get stronger yeah
I don't wanna wait until the storm
There's something wrong
And now you're gone
And I can't find ya
I wanna tell you something
Give you something
Show you in so many ways
Cuz it would all mean nothing
If I don't say something
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour
Let alone another day
I’m gonna tell you something
Show you something
Won't wait till it's too late
(x2)
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
(I won't wait till it's too late)
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
(no.. won't wait, no no)
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
(I won't late till it's too late)
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
no no no no no
no no
(I can't wait, I won't wait)
14) Sure Looks Good To Me
Life is cheap, bitter sweet
But it seems good to me
Take my turn, crash and burn
How it’s supposed to be
So don’t rain on my parade
Life’s too short to waste one day
I’m gonna risk it all to freed on the fall
Yes it sure looks good to me
Time passed by and leaves you behind
Taken as you leave
Heaven knows, there’s so much more
More than what we see
So don’t rain on my parade
Life’s too short to waste one day
And I’m gonna risk it all to freed on the fall
Yes it sure looks good to me
It sure looks good to me
Deep in my mind
I'm secure we can buy
I wanna see life or I die or a lie in an empty space
The darkness comes and I’ve been telling my soul
And me and myself we turn around, we’re getting old
But the lightning crashing, foolish emotions
Of the burses and the beauty in this moment that we’re feeling
And I feel like I’m seeing the world inside of me
But I can tell you that no, it’s getting easy and I’m free
There’s a cold in the morning, endless equation
Of who’ve we become, it’s a complex situation
So live, love, lie, give love
Live, love, lie, give love
Live, love, lie, give love
It’s who are we, anyway
So don’t rain on my parade
Life’s too short to waste one day
I’m gonna risk it all to freed on the fall
Yes it sure looks good to me
It sure looks good to me
(I’m telling you) It sure looks good to me
It sure looks good to me
Looks good to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

The Element Of Freedom (2009)
|
|
|
1) Element Of Freedom (Intro)
And the day came
When the risk it took
To remain tight and closed in the bud
Was more painful
Than the risk it took bloom
This is the element of freedom
2) Love Is Blind
Well people don't see
What I see
Even when the're right there
Standing next to me
And all of my friends think I'm crazy
For loving you
What they don't know
There's nothing else I can do
CHORUS:
And it's too bad 'cause Love Is Blind
It's too bad, It's too bad
It's too bad 'cause Love Is Blind
It's too bad, so bad
It's too bad 'cause Love Is Blind
It's too bad it don't matter baby
It's too bad 'cause Love Is Blind
It's too bad, so sad
See people don't know
What I know
They say I am losing my mind
I know I'm losing control
And all of my friends think I'm crazy
But I don't care
I'm over the edge there's no turning back
Belong to you I swear
CHORUS
It's too bad 'cause Love Is Blind
Eeeehhh ehhhh
Oh oh uoh (x4)
CHORUS
It's too bad 'cause Love Is Blind
Eeeehhh ehhhh
Oh oh uoh
3) Doesn't Mean Anything
Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care
but if I’m seeing my dreams and you aren't there
'cause it's over
that just won't be fair,
darling.
I’d rather be a poor woman living on the street,
no food to eat,
'cause I don't want no pie if I have to cry
'cause it's over
when you said goodbye
CHORUS:
All at once
I had it all,
but it doesn’t mean anything
now that you’re gone.
From above
seems I had it all,
but it doesn’t mean anything
since you’re gone
Now I see myself through different eyes,
it's no surprise
but being alone would make you realize, when it's over
all in love is fair
I shoulda been there, I shoulda been there, I shoulda shoulda
CHORUS
I know I pushed you away
what can I do that would save our love
take these material things
they don’t mean nothing, it's you
that I want
CHORUS (x2)
4) Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart
Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even in the bottom of the sea
I can still hear inside my head
Telling me, touch me, feel me
And all the time you were telling me lies
CHORUS:
So tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you,
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you,
I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had,
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart
Well you can try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, only, nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown, you make my body feel heaven-bound
Why don't you hold me, need me, I thought you told me
You'd never leave me
Looking in the sky I can see your face
And I knew right where I'd fit in
Take me, make me
You know that I'll always be in love with you
Right 'til the end
CHORUS
Anybody could have told you right from the start
It's about fall apart
So rather than hold onto a broken dream
Or just hold onto love
And I could find a way to make it
Don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight
CHORUS
5) Wait Til You See My Smile
When the wind is blowing in your face
Sometimes in life you don't see straight
Pray to Him and He will show
When your head is in a certain place
Nobody around to make you safe
Stand strong and you will grow
CHORUS:
Oooh
Wait til you see my smile
Oooh
Wait til they see your smile
Don't they love to see you down?
Kick you while you're on the ground
Don't let emotions show
People always speculate
Don't let it get in your way
They say things they don't know
CHORUS
So you're doing better now
Everybody comes around
But you don't really need 'em
'Cause you're stronger and you're better
And you're ready for whatever
CHORUS OUT
6) That's How Strong My Love Is
Some people they call me crazy
For falling in love with you
They can take me and lock me away, baby
'Cause there's nothing those bars can do
I'll be the rising moon after the setting sun
Just to let you know you'll always have someone
I'll be the clearest day when the rain is done
So you'll always know
CHORUS:
Through the shake of an earthquake
I will never fall
That's how strong my love is
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all
That's how strong my love is
I used to feel kind of lonely
'Cause the world, it can be so fake
But all that matters, I'm telling you
Is you and me only
And the fortress of love we make
I'll be the water you need
In a desert land
Just to let you know
You'll always have a hand
I'll be the woman you need to be a better man
So you'll always know
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Oh can't nothing break us down
Oh 'cause we are heaven bound
Like a mountain standing tall, immovable we're here to stay
Oh can't nothing get in the way
CHORUS
Through the deepest waters
I won't let you drown
That's how strong my love is
It's a balloon in the sky
That will never come down
That's how strong my love is
7) Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)
Moment of honesty
Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Who's it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me
And if you have something to say
You should say right now
(You should say right now)
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
CHORUS:
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the Un-thinkable would it make us look crazy
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
I know you were sent to me
This is exactly how it should feel
When it's meant to be
Time is only wasting
so why wait for eventually?
If we gonna do something about it
We should do right now
(We should do right now)
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
It is what we make it
CHORUS
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the Un-thinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful
Either way I'm saying
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
Yeah, say
BRIDGE:
Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me
CHORUS
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
8) Love Is My Desease
CHORUS:
When you're gone it feels like
My whole world is gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used
To being without you?
Baby, baby, baby,
Am I addicted
when I need you here
All the time?
And I'm not sure
If this is healthy
Is it a sickness?
'Cause I feel like
I'm losing my mind
And I know that there's no medicine
Nothing I can take, no remedy
Baby please stay
CHORUS
Ohh ohhh ohhh
Baby, baby, baby
I get a fever
Just thought of you leaving my side
Ohhh and I'm not the same
Until you're back holding me
That's all I need
Ohhh yeah
CHORUS
Woah Ohhh Woah Ohhh
Here's what I'm going thru
When you're gone
Some serious symptoms of withdrawal
Tossing and turning in my bed
Waking up drenched in a cold sweat
Lying here longing for you
What am I supposed to do
When I'm stuck
And I can't get enough of your love
Woah Ohhh Woah Ohhh
CHORUS
9) Like The Sea
CHORUS:
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
Feel it pull you in
Then it takes you,
Takes you over, over
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
First you're floating high
Then takes you
Takes you under under
Well it's cold
Cold
Underwater
In the night time
But I dove
Dove
To the bottom
To see what I'd find
That's when I saw a light
A glowing paradise
Thought I'd stay a while
It's been calling me
Underwater child
Everything that I ever dreamed
Taking my breath away
Currents got hold of me
Sweeping me away
Wish that I could stay
Takes me to the top
It's a cycle that never stops
CHORUS
BREAK:
Takes you takes you over
Takes you takes you under
Takes you takes you over
Takes you takes you under
I've been told
Told
You only find it
Once in a lifetime
So you gotta hold
Hold on stronger than ever
Like it's the last time
So when you see the light
Like a ship in the night
You have found the place
You been looking for
Like a distant shore
Don't you ever look back again
Here's something you should know
The sea is still in control
Cherish everyday
'Cause you never know
It can take away
The very thing that you love the most
CHORUS
BREAK (2x)
CHORUS OUT

So many possibilities
[Alicia]
Ohhh we can love to infinity
[Alicia & Beyoncé]
If you wanna be with me
CHORUS
[Alicia]
1,2,3,4!
BREAK
11) This Bed
Here I am
And I been thinking about you lately
Hold my hand
'Cause I been missing you like crazy
Don't wanna go through life,
Every single night
Wishing we could do it over
Do it Right
Come and hold me tight, we don't need to fight
Wanna spend my life
with you every night
CHORUS:
'Cause baby..
This bed is too lonely without you
Baby
Don't wanna hold my pillow
I wanna hold you
Please be beside me
These king-size sheets
Need more than just a queen
In between them
This bed is too lonely without you
So why don't we go inside
Where we can be together
You mean more than anything
Stay with me
Wanna be with you forever
Don't wanna go through life,
Every single night
Wishing we could do it over
Do it Right
Come and hold me tight
We don't need to fight
Wanna spend my life
With you, every night
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
You know when it starts to get late
And it's time to go to sleep, I
I don't know what to do
'Cause I don't wanna hold my pillow
I wanna hold you
Don't wanna go through life,
Every single night
Wishing we could do it over
Do it right
Come and hold me tight
We don't need to fight
Wanna spend my life
With you, every night
CHORUS
12) Distance And Time
This song is dedicated to all the lovers who can't be together,
separated by distance and time
You are always on my mind
All I do is count the days
Where are you now?
I will never let you down
I will never go away
I really wish that you could stay
But what can we do
All the days that you've been gone
I dreamed about you
And I anticipate the day that you will come
Home, Home, Home!
CHORUS:
No matter how far you are,
No matter how long it takes him
Through distance and time,
I'll be waiting.
If you have to walk a million miles
I'll wait a million days to see your smile,
Through distance and time, I'll be waiting
Distance and time, I'll be waiting
Will you take a train?
To meet me where I am?
Are you on your way?
And I will never do anything to hurt you
I'll never live without you
I really wish that you could stay
But what can we do
All the days that you've been gone
I dreamed about you
And I anticipate the day that you will come
Home, Home, Home!
CHORUS
You are always on my mind
All I do is count the days
Where are you now?
13) How It Feels To Fly
Have you ever felt so strong
That it made you feel weak
Long days, long nights and you just can't sleep
Have you ever been so sure
That it gave you cold feet
Gotcha floating on air
You can feel your heart beat
Well I never knew
This feeling ever
Now I hope it stays
And lasts forever
CHORUS:
I am riding high
Don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I risk to fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
Have you ever felt so lost
But didn't know until you were found
Looking everywhere but you finally see now
In a room full of people
It feel like no one's around
Gotcha head in the clouds
And your feet are off the ground
Say I never knew
This feeling ever
Now I hope it stays
And lasts forever
CHORUS
Yeah Yeah Yeah's
CHORUS OUT
14) Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down
Oooh oooh, New York (x2)
Grew up in a town,
That is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud
There are sirenes all around
And the streets are mean
If I could make it here
I can make it anywhere,
That's what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
Even if it ain’t all it seems
I got a pocket full of dreams
Baby, I’m from
CHORUS:
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
hear it for New York, New York, New York
On the avenue, there ain’t never a curfew
Ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab
Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
For more than an empty fridge
I’m gonna make it by any means
I got a pocket full of dreams
Baby, I’m from
CHORUS
One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say yeah, yeah yeah
CHORUS
