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

(Happy Christmas)
ah-- woo wah-
Ah- last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special-

Once bitten
and twice shy
I keep my distance
but you still catch
My eyes tell me baby
do you recognize me
Well it's been a year
it doesn't suprise me
(Happy Christmas)
I wrapped it up and
Send it with a note
saying I love you
I mean it wow
I know what a fool
I've been but
if you kissed me now
I know
you'd fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special-

Crowded a room friends
with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
and your soul of ice
My God I thought
you were someone
To rely on me
I guess I was
A shoulder to cry on
a face on a lover
With a fire
in his heart
A man under cover
but you tore me apart-
Woo- now I've found
a real love
You'll never
fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
You gave
it away-
Oh I'll give it
to someone special
Special-
gave you my---
special-
someone someone-

I can show you
the world
Shining shimmering
splendid
Tell me princess
now when did you last
Let your heart
decide
I can open
your eyes
Take you wonder
by wonder
Over sideways
and under
On a magic carpet
ride
A whole
new world
A new fantastic
point of view
No one to tell us no
or where to go
Or say
we're only dreaming
A whole
new world
A dazzling place
I never knew
But
when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
that now
I'm in a whole
new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole
new world with you)
Unbelievable sights
indescribable feeling
Soaring tumbling
freewheeling
Through an endless
diamond sky
A whole
new world
A hundred thousand
things to see
I'm like
a shooting star
I've come
so far
I can't go back
to where I used to be
A whole
new world
With new horizons
to pursue
I'll chase
them anywhere
There's time to spare
let me share
This whole new world
with you
A whole new world
(a whole new world)
That's
where we'll be
(That's
where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
(a wondrous place)
For
you and me

Such a feelings
coming over me
there is
wonder in most
everything I see
not a cloud in the sky
got the sun in my eyes
and I
won't be surprised
if it's a dream
everything
I want the world to be
is now coming
true especially
for me
and the reason
is clear
it's because
you are here
you're the nearest
thing to
heaven that I've seem
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've
been around
your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

Something in the wind
has learned my name
and it's telling me
that things are not
the same in the leaves
on the trees
and the touch of
the breeze
there's a pleasing
sence of happiness
for me
There is only
one wish on my mind
when this day is
through I hope
that I will find
that tomorrow
will be just the
same for you and me
all I need will be
mine if you are here
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love

since you're been
around your loves

world-

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
but then I know it's
growin' strong
Was in the spring
then spring became
the summer
Who'd a believed
you'd come along?
Hands touchin' hands
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Look at the night
and it don't
seem so lonely
we fill it up
with only two
and when I hurt
hurtin' runs off
my shoulders
How can I hurt when
holdin' you?
Warm touchin' warm
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been
inclined to
believe they
never would-

Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would-

I stand alone
in the darkness
The winter of my life
came- so fast
Memories go back
to childhood
To days I still recall
oh how happy I was--
Then there was
no sorrow
There was no pain
walking through
The- green-- fields
sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever-

I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever
Would you wait
for me forever
Will you wait
for me forever-

Baby can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you
should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
baby give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Too high
can't come down
Losing my head
spinning
Round and round
do you feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic-

It's getting late
to give you up
I took a sip
from my devil's cup
Slowly
it's taking over me
Too high
can't come down
It's in the air
and it's all around
Can you
feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic
Don't you know
that you're toxic-

Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slipping under
With a taste of
a poison paradise
I'm addicted
to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now
(I think
I'm ready now)
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now-

Feelings
nothing more than
feelings
trying to forget my
feelings of love
Tear drops
rolling down on
my face trying to
forget my - - -
feeling of love
Feelings for all
my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never
met you girl

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.

When I was young
I'd listen to the
radio waitin' for my
fav'rite songs
when they played
I'd sing along it
made me smile
Those were such happy
times and not so
long ago how I
wondered where
they'd gone
But they're back
again just like a
long lost friend all
the songs I love
so well Ev'ry
sha la la la ev'ry
wo wo still shine
Ev'ry shing a ling
a ling that they're
startin' to sing
so fine
When they get to the
part where he's
breaking her heart it
can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday
once more
Lookin' back on how it
was in years
gone by and the good
times that I had
makes today
seem rather sad
so much has changed
It was songs of love
that I would sing
to them and
I'd memories each word
Those old melodies
still lost so good
to me as they melt
the years away
Ev'ry sha la la la
ev'ry wo wo still shine
Ev'ry shing a ling
a ling that they're
startin' to sing
so fine
All my best memories
come back clearly
to me some can even
make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday
once more
Ev'ry Sha la la la
ev'ry wo wo still
shines
Ev'ry shing a ling
a ling that they're
startin' to sing
so fine
Ev'ry Sha la la la
ev'ry wo wo still
shines-

Sometimes it's hard
to be a woman
Giving all your love
to just one man
You'll have bad times
and he'll have
good times
Doin' things that
you don't understand
But if you love
him you'll
forgive him
Even though he's hard
to understand
and if you love him
Oh be proud of him
Cause after
all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him
two arms to cling to
And something
warm to come to
when nights
are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by your man -
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by
your man -

Lately I've had
the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason
here to find
Yet the thought
of losing
You's been hanging
'round my mind
Far more frequently
you've wearing perfume
With you saying
no special place to go
But when I ask
will you be
Coming back soon
you don't know
Never know
well I'm a man of many
Wishes hope
my premonition misses
But what I really
feel my eyes
Won't let me hide
cuz they always
Start to cry
cuz this time
Could mean
goodbye-

Lately I've been
staring in the mirror
Very slowly
picking me apart
Trying to tell myself
I have no reason
With your heart
just the other night
While you
were sleeping
I vaguely
heard you whisper
Someone's name
but when I ask
You of the thoughts
your keeping
You just say
nothing's changed
Well I'm a man of
many wishes
I hope my premonition
misses but
What I really
feel my eyes
Won't let me hide
cuz they always
Start to cry
cuz this time could
Mean goodbye goodbye
oh I'm a man of
Many wishes
I hope my premonition
Misses but
what I really
Feel my eye
won't let me hide
Cuz they always
start to cry
Cuz this time
could mean goodbye-

Half past twelve
and I'm watching
The late show
in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend
the evening on my own
Autumn winds blowing
outside my window as
I look around the room
and it makes me
So depressed
to see the gloom
There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To The break
of the day-

Movie stars find
the end of the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different
From the world
I'm living in
Tired of TV
I open the window and
I gaze into the night
but there's
Nothing there to see
no one in sight
There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Ah ah ah ah
gimme gimme gimme
A man after midnight
ah ah ah ah-

There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day-

I don't like
to sleep alone
Stay with me
don't go
Talk with me
for just a while
So much of you
to get to know
Reaching out
touching you
Leaving all the
worries
All behind
loving you
The way I do
my mouth on yours
And yours on mine
marry me
Let me live with you
nothing's wrong
When love is right
like a man say
In his song
help me make it
Through the night
loneliness
Can get you down
when you get
To thinking
no one cares
Lean on me
and I'll lean on you
Together we will
see it through
Oh I don't like
to sleep alone
Sad to think
some folks do
No I don't like
to sleep alone
No one does do you
I don't like
To sleep alone
no one does do you-

When I was
just a little boy
My father said to me
come here and learn a
Lesson from the
lovely lemon tree
My son
it's most important
My father said to me
to put your faith in
What you feel and
not in what you see
Lemon tree
very pretty and the
Lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the
Poor lemon is a
thing one cannot eat
Lemon tree
very pretty and the
Lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the
Poor lemon is a
thing one cannot eat
Beneath
that lemon tree
One day
my love and I did lie
A girl so sweet
that when she smiled
The sun rose
in the sky
We passed the summer
lost in love
Beneath the lemon tree
the music of her
Laughter hid my
father's words from me
Lemon tree
very pretty and the
Lemon flower
is sweet
But the fruit of the
poor lemon is a
Thing one cannot eat
lemon tree
Very pretty and the
lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the
poor lemon is a
Thing one
cannot eat-

One day she left
without a word
She took away the sun
and in the dark
She left behind
I knew what
She had done
she left me
For another it's a
common tale but true
A sadder man but
wiser now I
Sing these words
to you
Lemon tree
very pretty and the
Lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the
Poor lemon is a
thing one cannot eat
Lemon tree
very pretty and the
Lemon flower
is sweet
But the fruit
of the poor lemon is a
Thing one
cannot eat-

For just a chance
to win your heart
You could set the bar
beyond the stars
I'll do anything
anything you ask me to
Say you want the moon
watch me learn to fly
Ain't a mountain
you could point to
I wouldn't
climb
It's crazy
but it's true
There's nothing
I won't do
I'd risk it all
for you
To hold your hand
and call you mine
I'm tryna be your man
till the end of time
Oh I'll do anything
anything you ask me to
I would run
through a fire
Just to be
by your side
If your heart's
on the line
You could
take mine
It's crazy
but it's true
There's nothing
I won't do
I'd risk it all
for you
I would swim
across the sea
Just to
show you
Sacrifice my life
just to hold you
I could go on and on
to prove
That you belong
here in my arms

Say you want the moon
watch me learn to fly
Ain't a mountain
you could point to
I wouldn't
climb
It's crazy
but it's true
There's nothing
I won't do
I'd risk it all
for you
It's crazy
but it's true
There's nothing
I won't do
I'd risk it all
for you

I see the
crystal raindrops fall
And the
beauty of it all
Is when the sun
comes shining through
To make those
rainbows in my mind
When I think
of you some time
And I want to spend
some time with you
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I
We look for love
no time for tears
Wasted waters's
all that is
And it don't make no
flowers grow
Good things might
come to those
Who wait not to those
who wait to late
We got to go
for all we know
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I

I hear the crystal
raindrops fall
On the window
down the hall
And it becomes
the morning dew
Darling, when the
morning comes
And I see
the morning sun
I want to be
the one with you
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
(we can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us
we can make it)
(Just the two of us
just the two of us)
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us
we can make it)
(Just the two of us
just the two of us)
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the
two of us)

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-
