If I had to
live my life
Without you near me
The days would
all be empty
The nights would seem
so long

in love before
But it never felt
this strong
Our dreams are young
and we both know

where we want to go

without you

is not so easy
Our love will lead
a way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you
if you should need me
You don't have to
change a thing
I love you just
the way you are
So come with me and
share the view
I'll help you see
forever too
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to
live without you
Nothing's gonna change
my love for you
You oughta know by now

Take the ribbon
from your hair
Shake it loose and
let it fall
Laying soft upon
my skin
Like the shadows
on the wall
Come and lay down
by my side
Till the early
morning light
All I'm asking
is your time
Help me make it
through the night
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend
Yesterday
is dead and gone
And tomorrow's
out of sight
And it's sad
to be alone
Help me make it
through the night.
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend

(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah)
How can I say to you
I love somebody new
You were so good
to me always
And when I see
your eyes
I can't go on with lies
it breaks your heart
But I just can't
hide it oh - no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah)
Don't look
that way to me
I hurts you so I see
But I just can't
go on with lie
I gave you all I had no
there is nothing left
I may be wrong
But I'd better go now
oh- no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
La La La La La La
La La La La La La
I,
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah).

Do you
love the rain
Does it
make you dance
When
you're drunk
With your friends
at a party
What's
your favorite song
Does it
make you smile
Do you
think of me
When
you close your eyes
Tell me
what are you dreamin'
Everything
I wanna know it all
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
Do you
miss the road
That
you grew up on
Did you
get your middle name
From
your grandma
When
you think about
Your forever
now
Do you
think of me
When
you close your eyes
Tell me
what are you dreamin'
Everything
I wanna know it all
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna
love you
Woo want the good
and the bad
And everything
in between
Woo gotta cure
my curiosity
Woo
yeah
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
yeah
And
I I'm gonna love you
I I'm gonna
love you

I heard that you're
settled down
That you found a girl
and you're married now
I heard that your
dreams came true
Guess she
gave you things
I didn't
give to you
Old friend
why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to
hold back
Or hide
from the light
I hate to turn up out
of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't
stay away
I couldn't
fight it
I had hoped you'd
see my face
And that you'd be
reminded
That for me
it isn't over
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you too
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
You know how the
time flies only
Yesterday was the
time of our lives
We were born
and raised
In a summer haze
bound by the surprise
Of our
glory days
I hate to turn up out
of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't
stay away
I couldn't
fight it
I had hoped you'd
see my face
And that you'd be
reminded
That for me
it isn't over
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you too
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Nothing compares
no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
they're memories made
Who would have known
how bittersweet
This would
taste
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you too
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead

I can see the pain
living in your eyes
And I know how
hard you try
You deserve to have
so much more
I can feel your hurt
and I sympathize
And I'll never
critisize
All you ever meant
to my life-
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back from
Where you might
belong
You would
never ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say
But goodbye
ah- goodbye-
You deserve a chance
at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm
worthy of
Losing you is painful
for me
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back
From where you
might belong
You would never
ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say-
But
goodbye-

You would never
ask me why
My hurt is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left you try
No it's gonna
hurt us both
There's no other way
than to say goodbye
Uhm----
goodbye-

For a while
there it was rough
But lately
I've been doin' better
Than the last
four cold
Decembers
I recall
And I see my family
every month
I found a girl
my parents love
She'll come and stay
the night
And I think
I might have it all
And I thank God
every day
For the girl
he sent my way
But I know
the things
He gives me
he can take away
And I hold you
every night
And that's a feelin'
I wanna get used to
But there's no man
as terrified
As the man who stands
to lose you
Oh I hope
I don't lose you
Uhm please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Oh woo
please don't take
I found my mind
I'm feelin' sane
It's been
a while
But I'm findin'
my faith
If everything's good
and it's great
Why do I sit and wait
'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya
I know I've got enough
I've got peace
and I've got love
But I'm up
at night
Thinkin' I just might
lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got oh woo
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
I need
These beautiful things
that I've got

Every time
you come around
You know
I can't say no
Every time
the sun goes down
I let you
take control
I can feel
the paradise
Before
my world implodes
And tonight had
something wonderful
My bad
habits
Lead to late nights
ending alone
Conversations
with a stranger
I barely know
swearing
This will be the last
but it probably won't
I've got
nothing
Left to lose
or use or do
My bad
habits
Lead to wide eyes
stare into space
And I know
I lose control
Of the things
that I say
I was looking
for a way out
Now
I can't escape
Nothing happens
after two
It's true
it's true
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you
Every pure
intention ends
When the good times
start
Falling over
everything
To reach the first
time's spark
It started
under neon lights
And then it
all got dark
I only know
how to go too far
My bad
habits
Lead to late nights
ending alone
Conversations
with a stranger
I barely know
swearing
This will be the last
but it probably won't
I've got
nothing
Left to lose
or use or do
My bad
habits
Lead to wide eyes
stare into space
And I know
I lose control
Of the things
that I say
I was looking
for a way out
Now
I can't escape
Nothing happens
after two
It's true
it's true
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you
We took the long way
'round
And burned 'til
the fun ran out now
My bad
habits
Lead to late nights
ending alone
Conversations
with a stranger
I barely know
swearing
This will be the last
but it probably won't
I've got
nothing
Left to lose
or use or do
My bad
habits
Lead to wide eyes
stare into space
And I know
I lose control
Of the things
that I say
I was looking
for a way out
Now
I can't escape
Nothing happens
after two
It's true
it's true
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you

First things first
I'ma say
All the words
inside my head
I'm fired up
and tired of
The way that things
have been oh woo
The way that things
have been oh woo
Second things second
don't you tell me
What you think
that I could be
I'm the one
at the sail
I'm the master
of my sea oh woo
The master
of my sea oh woo
I was broken
from a young age
Taking my sulking
to the masses
Writing my poems
for the few
That look at me
took to me
Shook to me
feeling me
Singing from heartache
from the pain
Taking my message
from the veins
Speaking my lesson
from the brain
Seeing the beauty
through the
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Third things third
send a prayer
To the ones
up above
All the hate
that you've heard has
Turned your spirit
to a dove oh woo
Your spirit up above
oh woo
I was choking
in the crowd
Building my rain up
in the cloud
Falling like ashes
to the ground
Hoping my feelings
they would drown
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Last things last
by the grace
Of the fire
and the flames
You're the face
of the future
The blood in my veins
oh woo
The blood in my veins
oh woo
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer

One summer night
the stars were
Shining bright
one summer dream
Made with fancy whims
that summer night
My whole world
tumbled down
I could have died
if not for you
Each night
I pray for you
My heart would
cry for you
The sun won't
shine again
Since you have gone
each time
I think of you
my heart would
Beat for you
you are
The one
for me
Set me free like the
sparrows up the tree
Give a sign
so I would
Ease my mind
just say a word
And I'll come
running wild
Give me a chance
to live again
Each night
I pray for you
My heart would
cry for you
The sun won't
shine again
Since you have gone
each time
I think of you
my heart would
Beat for you
you are
The one
for me
One summer night
the stars were
Shining bright
one summer dream
Made with
fancy whims
That summer night
my whole world
Tumbled down
I could have died
If not for you
each night
I pray for you
my heart would
Cry for you
the sun won't
Shine
again
Since you
have gone
Each time
I think of you
My heart would
beat for you
You are the one
for me

No I can't forget
this evening or your
face as you were
leaving
but I guess
that's just the
way the story goes
You always smile
but in your eyes
your sorrow shows
yes it shows
No I can't forget
tomorrow
when I think
of all my sorrow
and I had you there
but then I let you go
And now it's only
fair that I should
let you know
what you should know
I can't live
If living is
without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
If living is
without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
No I can't forget
this evening or your
face as you were
leaving
but I guess
that's just the
way the story goes
You always
smile but in your
eyes your sorrow shows
yes it shows
I can't live
if living
is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
if living
is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
if living
is without you.

Same bed
but it feels
Just a little bit
bigger now
Our song
on the radio
But it don't
sound the same
When our friends
talk about you
All it does is
just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks
a little
When I hear
your name
It all just sounds
like woo hu
Uhm too young too dumb
to realize
That I should've
bought you flowers
And held
your hand
Should've gave you
all my hours
When I had
the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause all you wanted
to do was dance
Now
my baby's dancin'
But she's dancin'
with another man
My pride
my ego
My needs
and my selfish ways
Caused a good
strong woman like
You to walk
out my life
Now I never
never get to
Clean up the mess
I made oh
And it haunts me
every time
I close
my eyes
It all just sounds
like woo hu
Uhm too young too dumb
to realize
That I should've
bought you flowers
And held
your hand
Should've gave you
all my hours
When I had
the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause all you wanted
to do was dance
Now
my baby's dancin'
But she's dancin'
with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first
To say that
I was wrong
Oh I know I'm probably
much too late
To try and apologize
for my mistakes
But I just want you
to know
I hope
he buys you flowers
I hope
he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
when he has the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause I remember
how much
You loved
to dance
Do all the things
I should've done
When I was
your man
Do all the things
I should've done
When I was
your man

Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Come once
in a lifetime
You better
you can do anything
You set your mind
to man-

No I can't forget
this evening
Or your face
as you were leaving
But I guess
that's just the way
The story
goes
you always smile
but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
yes it shows
No I can't forget
tomorrow
When I think
of all my sorrow
When I had you there
but then I let you go
And now it's only fair
that I should
Let you know
what you should know
I can't live
if living is
Without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is
without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
Well I can't forget
this evening
Or your face
as you were leaving
But I guess
that's just the way
The story
goes
You always smile
but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
yes it shows
I can't live
if living is
Without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is
without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
(No I can't live
no I can't live)
No I can't live
if living is
Without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live

Fly me to the moon
and let me
Play among the stars
let me see what spring
Is like on
Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words
darling kiss me

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more
you are all I long
For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more
you are all I long
For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-
In other words
I love you-

When you're weary
feelin' small
When tears are in
your eyes
I'll dry them all -
I'm on your side
oh when times -
get rough - -
And friends just can't
be found
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down
and out
when you're on
the street
When evening falls
so hard
I will comfort you -
I'll take your part
oh when darkness
comes - -
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
Troubled
water I will
lay me down.

Sail on silver girl
sail on by
Your time has come
to shine
All your dreams are
on their way
See how they shine
oh if you need a
friend
I'm sailing right
behind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease
your mind - - -.

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-

would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven
would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way
through night and day
cause I know
I just can't stay
here in heaven-

Time can bring
you down
time can bend
your knees
time can break
your heart
have you beg and plead
beg and plead-

beyond the door
there's peace I'm sure
and I know
there'll be no more
tears in heaven-

would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-

Hey Jude don't
make it bad
Take a sad song
and make it better
Remember to let
her into your heart
Then your car start
to make it better
Hey Jude don't
be afraid
You were made to
go out and get her
The minute you
let her under your
skin Then you begin
to make it better
And any time you feel
the pain
Hey Jude refrain
don't carry the world
upon your shoulders
For well you know that
it's a fool
who plays it cool
By making his world
a little the colder
Da da da da da da
da da da
Hey Jude don't let
me down
You have found her
now go and get her
Remember to let her
into your heart
Then you can start
to make it better
So let it out and
let it in
Hey Jude begin you're
waiting for someone
to perform with
And don't you know
that it's just you
Hey Jude You'll do
the movement you need
is on your shoulder
Da da da da da da
da da da
Hey Jude don't make it
bad Take a sad song
and make it better
Remember to let her
under your skin
Then you'll begin
to make it better
better better better
better better Oh
da da da da da da da
da da da da Hey Jude
Da da da da da da da
da da da da Hey Jude
Da da da da da da da
da da da da Hey Jude
Da da da da da da da
da da da da Hey Jude
Da da da da da da da
da da da da Hey Jude
Da da da da da da da
da da da da Hey Jude
Da da da da da da da
da da da da Hey Jude
Da da da da da da da
da da da da Hey Jude
Da da da da da da da

Hey Jude.

I believe
the children are
our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them all
the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a
sence of pride
to make it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
Everybody's
searching for a hero
people need someone
to look up to
I never found anyone
who full filled
my needs
A lonely place to be
and so I learned
to depend on me
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed at least
I live as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all is
easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself
it is the Greatest
love of all
I believe
the children
are our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them
all the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a sence
of pride to make
it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed
at least I live
as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all
is easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself it is
the Greatest
love of all
And if by chance
that special place
That you've been
dreaming of
leads you to
a lonely place
find
Your strength
in love ~

Time it needs time
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
can bring back
your love someday
I will be there
I will be there-

I'll fight babe
I'll fight
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
Can break down
the walls someday
I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you-

Try babe try
To trust in my
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love our love
Just shouldn't
be throw
away I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed
our love
Yes I've hurt you pride
and I know what
you've been through
You should give me
a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I need your love
I'm still loving you---

I'm still loving you--
I need your love
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you---
