Let Us Burn (Demo) (Album: "Paradise (What About Us?)" (2013)) (WITHIN TEMPTATION LYRICS)

.

arkness has come to the roses
The fire is reaching the air
The colours that I have created
Are suddenly flying away

I'm not fighting myself, will not follow
'Cause my choices are mine, it's my fate
And I'll never bow down from the sorrow
I'll face all that is coming my way

The lying, the devil, the silence
Embracing the world on the edge

Let us burn
Let us burn
The night in the skies here tonight
Let us burn
Let us burn
In this fire that makes us yearn
We're fighting our fear of the silence
We're running through walls where they stand
Let us burn
Let us burn
Let us burn

I'm searching no more for tomorrow
I reach for the skies while I can
The unknown will always be waiting
My last day I'll jump in its hands

I'm not fighting myself, will not follow
'Cause my choices are mine, it's my fate
And I'll never bow down from the sorrow
I'll face all that is coming my way

The lying, the devil, the silence
Embracing the world on the edge

Let us burn
Let us burn
The night in the skies here tonight
Let us burn
Let us burn
In this fire that makes us yearn
We're fighting our fear of the silence
We're running through walls where they stand
Let us burn
Let us burn
Let us burn

Why, why don't you let me burn?
Why don't you come down
And break out and let me burn?

Oh why, why don't you let me burn?
Why don't you let me burn?
Why don't you let me burn?

Oh why?
Chasing the demons in my mind
Oh why me?
Waiting for chains to throw me to the ground

The darkness has come to the roses
And the fire is reaching the air

Let us burn
Let us burn
The night in the skies here tonight
Let us burn
Let us burn
In this fire that makes us yearn
We're fighting our fear of the silence
We're running through walls where they stand
Let us burn
Let us burn
Let us burn

Paradise (What About Us?) (feat. Tarja Turunen) (Album: "Paradise (What About Us?)" (2013)) (WITHIN TEMPTATION LYRICS)

.

There's no sense, the fire burns
When wisdom fails, it changes all
The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning

Blood red skies, I feel so cold
No innocence
We play our roll
The wheel embodies all
Where are we going?

All in all
You expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace and
All and all I guess we should have known
Better 'cause

What about us
Isn't it enough
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
Thought it's not paradise

You and us, or I and them
There comes a time to take a stand
The wheel is watching all
It keeps on burning

The venom works, it's like a curse
A trojan horse, when will we learn?
The wheel embodies all that keeps returning

All in all
You expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace and
All and all I guess we should have known
Better 'cause

What about us
Isn't it enough
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
Thought it's not paradise

What about us
Isn't it enough
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for

What about us
Isn't it enough
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
But it's not paradise

What about us
What about us
What about us
Isn't it enough

What about us
What about us
What about us
Isn't it enough

What about us
What about us
What about us
Isn't it enough

What about us
What about us
What about us
Isn't it enough

Closing Arguments (Interlude) (Album: "The Carnival" (1997)) (WYCLEF JEAN LYRICS)

.

In closing, ladies and gentlemen of the jury
I'm not gonna sit here and bore you with a long, drawn out story
Or excuse, of why I think Wyclef is guilty
I'm gonna stand by the exhibits as well as the tapes
And songs such as Jeapordy, Til Novemeber, All the Girls,
And Bubblegoose, which stand side by side with my allegations
I rest my case

OK, uhh, ladiessss, and gentle-men, of the juwy
As you can see nuttin has been proven here today
DEEZ witnesses dey brought ere don't not have evidence
To incriminate my client eh?
If he's not guilty he's innocent
If he's not detrimental to the society therefore he positive!
As I say before, dis case is pure bishop

Your honor see, this, this is exactly what I'm talkin about
I mean I've been meaning to ask this the whole time
Who the hell is Bishop?
Eh?
And and why the hell hasn't he been brought on the stand?
Bishop, bishop, not true, false, bishop
Ohh, bullshit!
Oui

Ever since you came back around the way

So many things that I want to say
You know I got a little wiser
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

You know I would do anything for you
We don't have to keep it under cover
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
L-O-V-E Y-O-U
I ain't tryin to lose your love tonight
I just wanna make you feel alright
L-O-V-E Y-O-U

You drivin' me insane
Swing me take you back
Who am i to blame but myself

Crazy nights arguments
Running towards the door
Lying to myself, not wanting you no more
No matter what we been through
You're the man that i adore
You're the only one i need in this world, see
People used to tell me i was crazy
Told me not to give in
Told me that you would never love me
All i did is pretend
I told them mind their business
Cause they not in my position
When i said that i was in love
They said i was trippin
I cut the haters off and i got into my man
Cause i take him for all he is
And he takes me as i am
The way i feel about him
It was God's perfect plan
The only one i need and i'm his girl
So let me hear you say
Ever since you came back around the way
I ain't tryin to be a player
So many things that I want to say
You know I got a little wiser
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
L-O-V-E Y-O-U
I ain't tryin to lose your love tonight
I just wanna make you feel alright
L-O-V-E Y-O-U
I'm just hoping you could spend the night
Kiss you, love you, hold you tight

Crash And Burn (Album: "Bi-Polar" (2001)) (VANILLA ICE LYRICS)

.

[Phone Message from Ross Robinson]
"Hey dude it's Ross
Just callin to say hey
I'm much better now
I fractured my spine
It was fucked up
I did a triple over a double
And landed on my head
So um...I did it on the 426
Yep...wasn't to fun
But before that dude I was fuckin totally in tune
And feelin kick ass on the track
It was like the best I've ever felt
So maybe thats why I started gettin all cocky and shit
Uhh...Alright man, just workin away super hardcore on Slipknot
And I'm about 5 days left and take like a week off
Or somethin like that and start the next one
Hope your doin good dude
Talk to ya later"

S.N.A.F.U. (Album: "Hard To Swallow" (1998)) (VANILLA ICE LYRICS)

.

Now, the industry has got me thinking twice
Thinking with the treble mix, gotta shake em like dice
Let the whole world know I can't go for that
Girls know that I got gold and stacks
In every cul de sac from the streets to the clubs
I'm making hits and everybody's showing love
Fact is I'm back and I'm rolling like Jackson
Won't stop until I'm back at multi platinum
So I start with some action, I'm the main attraction
Here to lie down to the west crackin
Stackin big chips, holmes, gotta get em
Hauling in lots of residuals, what you got
You can't choose me
Bring it to you live for the year 2G

Situation normal all fu_ked up
Situation normal all fu_ked up
Situation normal all fu_ked up
Situation normal all fu_ked up
Thought I was a puppet you tried to play me
Yeah - And I'm going crazy
Thought I was a puppet you tried to play me
No - You never ever made me
Thought I was a puppet you tried to play me
Yeah - And I'm going crazy
Thought I was a puppet you tried to play me
No - I'm all fu_ked up

Yo, Ice it's Jim splice me in - no, stop
Begin, pause, cause I gotta call the next of kin
Tell em where you been, tell em that you're ok
DOA, here say, no way, won't say
Dead yes, dead all, not dead and gone
Like a multi-leader, a little bit withdrawn
Time and go like a vicious cycle
Then wham, make em think that you are coming out like George Michael
On par to make people to turn in no sooner
Hook, line, and sinker; like Charlie the Tuna
Drop the hero and get with the zero
I'll try to keep it clean like Mr. Belvedere
Fu_k me, fu_k you, fu_k the single
Don't want to take it in the can, you're not pringles
But once you pop you can't stop
So don't interrupt - situation normal all fu_ked up

Situation normal all fu_ked up
Situation normal all fu_ked up
Situation normal all fu_ked up
Situation normal all fu_ked up
Thought I was a puppet you tried to play me
Yeah - And I'm going crazy
Thought I was a puppet you tried to play me
No - You never ever made me
Thought I was a puppet you tried to play me
Yeah - And I'm going crazy
Thought I was a puppet you tried to play me

Situation normal all fu_ked up
Situation normal all fu_ked up

Round and round we go, where it stops nobody knows
Round and round we go, where it stops nobody knows

Obvious Bicycle (Album: "Modern Vampires Of The City" (2013)) (VAMPIRE WEEKEND LYRICS)

.

Morning�s come you watch the red sunrise
The early day still flickers in your eyes
Ah you oughta spare your face the razor
Because no one�s gonna spare the time for you

No one�s gonna watch you as you go
From a house you didn�t build and can�t control
Ah you outta spare your face the razor
Because no one�s gonna spare the time for you
You outta spare the world your labor
It�s been 20 years and no one�s told the truth

So listen oh
So listen oh
Don�t wait
Don�t wait

So listen oh
So listen oh
Don�t wait
Don�t wait

So keep that list of who to thank and mind
And don�t forget the rich ones who were kind
Ah you outta spare your face the razor
Because no one�s gonna spare the time for you
Why don�t you spare the world a traitor
Take your wager back and leave before you lose

So listen oh
So listen oh
Don�t wait
Don�t wait

So while the sun�s coming up
Cover ground
Cover ground
And if you find some love for these clowns
Turn around
Turn around

We�ll be half asleep on the floor of our high school gym
Thinking of you and wondering if anyone else could begin

To listen
Listen
Don�t wait
Don�t wait

So listen oh
So listen oh
Don�t wait
Don�t wait

Diane Young (Album: "Modern Vampires Of The City" (2013)) (VAMPIRE WEEKEND LYRICS)

.

You torched a Saab like a pile of leaves
I'd gone to find some better wheels
Four, five meters running round the bend
When the government agents surround you again

If Diane Young won't change your mind,
Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

Out of control but you're playing a role
Do you think you can go 'til the 18th hole
Or will you flip-flop the day of the championship?
Try to go it alone on your own for a bit

If Diane Young won't change your mind,
Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

Baby baby baby baby right on
Baby baby baby baby right on
Baby baby baby it's a light on
Baby baby baby it's a lifetime
Baby baby baby baby right on
Time, time, time, time, time
Baby baby baby baby right on time

If Diane Young won't change your mind,
Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

Irish and proud, baby, naturally
But you got the luck of a Kennedy
So grab the wheel, keep on holding it tight
'Til you're tottering off into that good night

If Diane Young won't change your mind,
Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

Baby baby baby baby right on
Baby baby baby baby right on
Baby baby baby it's a light on
Baby baby baby it's a lifetime
Baby baby baby baby right on
Time, time, time, time, time
Baby baby baby baby right on time

Nobody knows what the future holds
And it's bad enough just getting old
Live my life in self-defense
You know I love the past, 'cause I hate suspense...

If Diane Young won't change your mind,
Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

Diplomat's Son (Album: "Contra" (2010)) (VAMPIRE WEEKEND LYRICS)

.

It�s not right but it�s now or never
And if I wait could I ever forgive myself?

On a night when the moon glows yellow in the riptide
With the light from the TVs buzzing in the house

Cuz I�m gonna cut it where I can
And then I�m gonna duck out behind them
If I ever had a chance it�s now then
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you

To offer it to you would be cruel
When all I want to do is use, use you

He was a diplomat�s son
It was �81

Dressed in white with my car keys hidden in the kitchen
I could sleep wherever I lay my head

And the sight of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub
Let me know that I shouldn�t give up just yet

Cuz I�m gonna take it from Simon
And then I�m gonna duck out behind them
If I ever had a chance it�s now then
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you

To offer it to you would be cruel
When all I want to do is use, use you

He was a diplomat�s son
It was �81

I know, you�ll say
I�m not doing it right
But this is how I want it

I can�t go back
To how I felt before�

That night I smoked a joint
With my best friend
We found ourselves in bed
When I woke up he was gone

He was the diplomat�s son
It was �81

Looking out at the ice-cold water all around me
I can�t feel any traces of that other place

In the dark when the wind comes racing off the river
There�s a car all black with diplomatic plates

I Think Ur A Contra (Album: "Contra" (2010)) (VAMPIRE WEEKEND LYRICS)

.

I had a feeling once
That you and I
Could tell each other everything
For two months
But even without hope
With truth on our side
When you turn away from me
It's not right

I think you're a Contra
I think you're a Contra
And dear Contra
I think you're a Contra

My revolution thoughts
Live in lies of desire
I wanna trace them to the source
And the wire
But it's not useful now
Since we both made up our minds
You gotta watch out for yourself
So will I

I think you're Contra
I think that you lie
Don't call me Contra
Till you've tried

You wanted good schools
And friends with pools
You're not a Contra
You wanted Rock' n' Roll,
Complete control
Well, I don't know

Never pick sides
Never choose between two
But I just wanted you
Never pick sides
Never choose between two
But I just wanted you

I think you're Contra
I think that you lie
Don't call me Contra
Till you've tried

Giant (Album: "Contra" (2010)) (VAMPIRE WEEKEND LYRICS)

.

[Verse 1:]
It was all a dream
I used to read Thrasher Magazine, looking at pictures of skateboarders
California

So envy me, S.O.S. L.A.P.D.
Docking the yacht in such low waters
Alizontra

[Chorus:]
Now it's a different game
80 percent still agree
The winning cause, it pleases God
The losing cause pleases me

[Verse 2:]
At the duty-free,
Gifts of wine and Hennessey
Beautifully made from such fine waters
Robert Smithson

An ancient scene,
Spiral Jetty, favorite cheese
Leaving the rocks in such blind order
Colosseum

[Chorus: x2]

Now it's a different game
80 percent still agree
The winning cause, it pleases God
The losing cause pleases me

Mansard Roof (Album: "VAMPIRE WEEKEND" (2008)) (VAMPIRE WEEKEND LYRICS)

.

I see a mansard roof through the trees
I see a salty message written in the eaves
The ground beneath my feet
The hot garbage and concrete
And now the tops of buildings, I can see them too

The Argentines collapse in defeat
The admiralty surveys the remnants of the fleet
The ground beneath their feet
Is a nautically-mapped sheet
As thin as paper
While it sinks away from view

Dare You To Move (Album: "The Beautiful Letdown" (2003)) (SWITCHFOOT LYRICS)

.

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next

[Chorus]
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

[Chorus]

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

Meant To Live (Album: "The Beautiful Letdown" (2003)) (SWITCHFOOT LYRICS)

.

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

[Chorus]

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

Might Have Ben Hur (Album: "Legend Of Chin" (1997)) (SWITCHFOOT LYRICS)

.

Everything I know
Tells me she's everything
That I could hope for
Everything I know
Tells me I can't let her walk away

[bridge:]
I took my time to find the words
I hope she'd feel the same

[chorus:]
'Cause I want someone to share my smile
To share the pain
To be there when the sea turns gray
To share the joy
For better or worse
And I thought that it might have been her
I thought that it might have been her

Wonder if she knows
The way I saw her soul
Light up my life
Wonder if she knows
of the pain I feel tonight

Underwater (Album: "Legend Of Chin" (1997)) (SWITCHFOOT LYRICS)

.

It's in her head
It's in her mind
She can't believe it
Can't believe she's running
Out of time

And any hold
That she can find
Something to lean on
Everybody fails her
Half the time

[Chorus:]

Nothing to be
She's already been
Plenty of time
Plenty of time
Plenty of time

She lights her candle
6 a.m.
Starting a new one
Every new one hits her
Just the same

Just like clockwork
She climbs down
Into her bottle
No one down there cares
To know her name

She's underwater
Nowhere now
Underwater upside down
The rising tide won't
Find her now
She's lost and found
Underwater

She's underwater
But she won't drown
She can't believe it
And every one she meets
Feels just the same

It takes all day to
Get to tonight
What makes the sunset
And what makes it go back
To where it came

[Chorus]

She's underwater
Nowhere now
She's underwater
Upside down
The rising tide won't
Find her now
She's lost and found
Now she's upside down
Now she's six feet down

Underwater [4x]

Chem 6a (Album: "Legend Of Chin" (1997)) (SWITCHFOOT LYRICS)

.

Nothing but a chemical in my head
It's nothing but laziness
Cause I don't wanna read the book
I'll watch the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else my age

I think I'd rather play around
And I think I'd rather watch TV
Cause I don't wanna face my fears
I'll watch the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else
I'm just like everybody else

Because I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna see this now
It's all wrong but it's alright
And I don't wanna be here
And I don't wanna study now
It's all wrong but it's alright

I don't know what love is
I don't know who I am
And if I ever want to find out
I'll watch the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else my age

I don't wanna change the world
And I don't wanna be someone
I don't wanna write the book
I'll make the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else
I'm just like everybody else

I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna see this now
It's all wrong but it's alright
And I don't wanna be here
And I don't wanna study now
It's all wrong but it's alright

You Just Lost Yo Mind!

Start Over (BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS)

.

I feel weak, we've been here before
'Cause I feel we keep going back and forth
Maybe it's over, maybe we're through
But I honestly can say I still love you

Maybe we reached the mountain peak
And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic piece
And we're both too blind to find

Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die

Maybe we can start all over
Give love another life

I can see that we're not happy here
So why would we keep pretending when there's nothing there
Maybe you like it, well I don't
Maybe you'll settle, well I won't

Maybe we reached the mountain peak
And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic piece
And we're both too blind to find

Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die

Maybe we can start all over
Give love another life

I know that this will hurt you
I know you'll cry
I know I called you selfish but that's a lie
I feel I know what's the best for us

Let's... start over!
And let's give love their wings
Let's start over
I'm tired of fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We both know that this love won't die

Maybe we can start all over
And give love another life

I Was Here (BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS)

.

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

I want to say I lived each day, until I died
And know that I meant something in, somebody's life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference, and this world will see

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone some happiness
Left this world a little better just because

I was here

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
I lived (I lived), I loved
I was here
I did (I did), I've done
I was here
I lived (I lived), I loved (I loved)
I was here (oh)
I did, I've done

I was here

Blue (feat. Blue Ivy) (BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS)

.

[Verse 1:]
Sometimes these walls seem to cave in on me
When I look in your eyes, I feel alive
Some days we say words that don't mean a thing
But when you holding me tight, I feel alive

[Hook:]
Make it last forever
Come on baby won't you hold on to me, hold on to me
You and I together
Come on baby won't you hold on to me, hold on to me

[Verse 2:]
Each day I feel so blessed to be looking at you
Cause when you open your eyes, I feel alive
My heart beats so damn quick when you say my name
When I'm holding you tight, I'm so alive
Now let's live it up

[Hook x2]

[Bridge: x2]
We gotta hold on, I gotta hold on
You've got to hold on, you've got to hold on to me

[Hook]

[Bridge]

[Outro: Blue Ivy]
Hold on to me, hold on
Been-sy-ay

Halo (from "Hope For Haiti Now" compilation) (BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS)

.

Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out!

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo, halo)
I can see your halo (halo, halo)
I can feel your halo (halo, halo)
I can see your halo (halo, halo)
Halo, ooh ooh.....

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out!

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo, halo)
I can see your halo (halo, halo)
I can feel your halo (halo, halo)
I can see your halo (halo, halo)
Halo, ooh ooh.....
Halo, ooh ooh.....
Halo, ooh ooooooooooooooh....

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo, halo)
I can see your halo (halo, halo)
I can feel your halo (halo, halo)
I can see your halo (halo, halo)
Halo, ooh ooh.....

Therefore I like to thank God and Ice Cube for Friday

Broken-Hearted Girl (BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS)

.

You're everything I thought you never were
And nothing like I thought you could have been
But still you live inside of me,
So tell me how is that?

You're the only one I wish I could forget
The only one I love to not forgive
And though you break my heart,
You're the only one

And though there are times when I hate you
'Cause I can't erase
The times that you hurt me and put tears on my face
And even now, while I hate you,
It pains me to say
I know I'll be there at the end of the day

I don't wanna be without you, babe
I don't want a broken heart
Don't wanna take a breath without you, babe
I don't wanna play that part
I know that I love you, but let me just say
I don't wanna love you in no kind of way, no no
I don't want a broken heart
I don't wanna play the broken-hearted girl
No, no, no broken-hearted girl
I'm no broken-hearted girl

There's something that I feel I need to say
But up til' now I've always been afraid
That you would never come around
And still I wanna put this out

You say you've got the most respect for me
But, sometimes I feel you're not deserving of me
And still, you're in my heart
But you're the only one

And yes, there are times when I hate you,
But I don't complain
'Cause I've been afraid that you would walk away
Oh, but now I don't hate you
I'm happy to say
That I will be there at the end of the day

I don't wanna be without you, babe
I don't want a broken heart
Don't wanna take a breath without you, babe
I don't wanna play that part
I know that I love you, but let me just say
I don't wanna love you in no kind of way, no no
I don't want a broken heart
I don't wanna play the broken-hearted girl
No, no, no broken-hearted girl

Now I'm at a place I thought I'd never be, ooh
I'm living in a world that's all about you and me, yeah
Ain't gotta be afraid, my broken heart is free
To spread my wings and fly away, away with you..., yeah, yeah, yeah

I don't wanna be without my baby
I don't want a broken heart
Don't wanna take a breath without my baby
I don't wanna play that part
I know that I love you, but let me just say
I don't wanna love you in no kind of way, no no
I don't want a broken heart
I don't wanna play the broken-hearted girl
No, no, no broken-hearted girl
Broken-hearted girl
No, no, no broken-hearted girl

No broken-hearted girl

What's Good With You?(feat. Foxy Brown) (BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS)

.

[Verse 1:]
Babe
Gotta to know one thing before you ask my name
Be straight up and tell me what's your aim
A Girl like me see I don't play no games, no no
That's why I say
If you wanna be with me go all the way
Do what you got to do, just let me state
Is it real or is this just a fake, tell me

[Chorus:]
What's good with you baby (wanna get to know me)
What's really good baby (do you have a lady)
Been near the hood lately (where you from and where you be)
What's good with you baby (what's you good with you baby)

[Verse 2:]
Babe
You sittin over there tryna figure out what to say
Make up your mind right now don't contemplate
You know that I don't have time to waste, No Noo!
Where do we go
What this thing could be we'll never know
There is just no way that we can flow
If you ain't being honest from the go, Tell me

[Chorus:]
What's good with you baby (wanna get to know me)
What's really good baby (do you have a lady)
Been near the hood lately (where you from and where you be)
What's good with you baby (what's you good with you baby)

[Bridge:]
Don't try playin with my mind
Boy I don't have no time
For something that I know ain't good for me
Don't hesitate to say
You feel the chemistry
Wanna know should I take a chance with you

[Chorus:]
What's good with you baby (Ohh wanna get to know me)
What's really good baby (Heey do you have a lady)
Been near the hood lately (where you from and where you be)
What's good with you baby (what's you good with you baby)

What's good with you baby (Ooh wanna get to know me)
What's really good baby (Ooh do you have a lady)
Been near the hood lately (Woo Ohh where you from and where you be)
What's good with you baby (what's really good baby)

What's good with you baby
What's really good baby
Been near the hood lately
What's good with you baby

If I Were A Boy (Remix)(feat. R. Kelly) (BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS)

.

[Beyonce:]
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted, and I'd never get confronted for it
Cause they'd stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

[R. Kelly:]
If you were a boy
Then, girl, you'd understand
You need to stop listenin' to your friends
Love, respect, and trust your man
So I go to clubs with the guys
And sometimes flirt with the girls
I should be able to roll out, as long as I'm comin' home to you
And give you the world

But you're not a boy
So you don't have a clue
How I work and pay the bills
How everything I do is for you
[Beyonce:]
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

[Beyonce (R. Kelly):]
If I were a boy (If I were a girl)
I would turn off my phone (I wouldn't play games)
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone (Girl you know that's wrong)
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home

[R. Kelly:]
But you're not a boy
So you can't understand
You are not a perfect woman
And I am not a perfect man
[Beyonce:]
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts (And I know how you feel)
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed (Said I'm sorry)

[Beyonce:]
It's a little too late for you to come back
[R. Kelly:]
But I can't let you go, 'cause I'm too attached
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

But you're just a boy...

Stop That!(feat. Mekhi Phifer) (BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS)

[Chorus]
[B] Yo where the brother by my side at?

Any other time it's like you steady hatin on Brown
I'm tryna see my name in lights you tryna short it out the ground

[Mekhi]
You're the one that's got it twisted cause I'm right by your side
I had a bad day you jumpin' on my back for a ride
What can a man say I'm on the run, just for your auditionin
Callin on you every night it's like you never listenin

[Beyonce]
You're the one that's switchin up gettin to specifics
When you say that I'm just dreamin I be rollin like a Michelin

[Mekhi]
Carmen you just trippin cause you know I love you infinite
Just so we could be here look at everything I did for this

[Beyonce]
So why you actin like that
You don't have to take it anymore fight back
I came too far to turn around and just hike back
Trying to get me sidetracked see me on the corner where the sign of the time at

[Chorus x2]

[Beyonce]
And yo I came from the projects now I want the condos
Trying to be a star and now you messin up my cosmo

[Mekhi]
But you can't find something if you walkin' wit a blindfold
Carmen I can see right through you with my eyes closed

[B] Grown man to finance
[M] You actin like a nuisance

[Mekhi]
Songs you got me singin like my name was Bobbly Blubland
Don't make me sing 'em cause the game you playin baby two can

[P. Diddy - talking]
Yeah
There's three things I like about the summertime
Drop tops, long hot nights and summer love
Yeah
Hey yo, B
Tell 'em what time it is
Let' s go

[Beyonce]
Out of all the guys that approached me
Walking up to me like they know me
You were the one that stayed aside
Waited a while and took your time
You don't know how impressing
Your curiousity was to me
It was the fourth day of July
Looked in my eyes and saw that I

[Break - Beyonce]
I wanted more than just a man (man)
I needed a friend (I want a friend)
Someone I can talk to (oh)
Someone who'll really listen (yeah)
When you touched my hand (yeah yeah)
The sun got brighter then (brighter then)
Trusting you I closed my eyes
And felt our love begin

[Chorus - Beyonce]
It was the summertime (when we fell in love)
It was the summertime (when heaven shined on us)
It was the summertime (baby there is nothing like the)
Summertime, summertime (ohh)

[Beyonce]
Now it's been a year and we're closer
Fall in love again when I hold ya
I know that God set you aside
For me and now you are my prize
Wanna grow old with ya
Fill a house with ya pictures
Have a son for you, a little girl for me
Together we'll raise a family

[Break - Beyonce]
I wanted more then just a man
I needed a friend
You are my best friend (yeah)
Someone I could talk to
Someone who'll really listen (yeah)
When you touched my hand (yeah)
The sun got brighter then (brighter then)
Trusting you I closed my eyes
and felt our love begin

[Chorus]

[P. Diddy]
Yo let me holla at you for a sec
So what's in gonna be, him or me? (yeah)
We can cruise the world for pearls
And bare boots for girls
Summertime in the linen, fresh fruit
Livin the life that's forbidden for just you (let's go)
No worries you ain't gotta be stressed out
No hurries you ain't gotta be rushed out
Sit back relax ma take your time
Now have a taste of the finest wine
Every minute that we have's a blessing to me
And in your heart you's a "Child of Destiny" (that's right)
Them hot summers that we had especially
Love who you is girl, you bring out the best of me
And it's like that, you know it's like that (that's right)
And that's your plan, where's your hand let me ice that
You my heart ain't no chance you could fight that
The summertime, when you hot baby take that, take that
Yeah..

[Chorus]

That's Why You're Beautiful (BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS)

.

Diamonds used to be coal
Look young cause they got soul
That's why they're beautiful
And my heart used to be cold
'Til your hands laid on my soul
Baby, that's why you're beautiful

I'm not wondering why....
The sky's blue; that's not my business
All I know is I....
Look up and tell myself
"Be patient, love...that could be us..."

Lovers used to make love
And die just to give us
Their piece of the beautiful
Remember when we made love?
Love......
Wasn't it beautiful?
Don't ask me why
The sky's blue; that's not my business
All I know is I....
Look up and tell myself
"Be patient, love...that could be us..."

Diamonds used to be coal
Look young cause they got soul
That's why they're beautiful
And my heart used to be cold
'Til your hands laid on my soul
Baby, that's why you're beautiful
Somebody's got to stay deep in love
That could be us..
That's why we're beautiful
That's why you're beautiful
Ooh
Why, why
That's why you're beautiful
That's why you're beautiful
That's why you're beautiful

I got eyes up, over my shoulder
If you should decide, to get closer (Hooo!)
Well then this dance, is straight over
I'm gone, and Missy's Testaroasa
"Be cool", thay what Free say
B. say, "Keep it clean but give them lee way"
All I know, it's a crazy sensation
You fine, but I'm fightin' temptation

[Chorus]

[Outro - Beyonce + (Missy) + {Free}]
Wooooooo
(We goin' show you how to fight temptation)
My love, yeah
{I'm jus' lookin for da right temptation}
{[Cut and Stratch - "Fight temptation]}
Wooooo, yeah, yeah, yeah
(We goin' show you how to fight temptation)
{I'm jus' lookin for da right temptation}
{[Cut and Stratch - "Fight temptation]}
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woooooo

[Beyonce + Missy + Free + MC Lyte]
W-w-what you gonna do (Hoo-hoo)
W-w-what you gonna do (Hoo-hoo)
W-w-what you gonna do (Hoo-hoo)
