Say that you'll stay a little
Don't say bye, bye tonight
Say you'll be mine
Just a little bit of love
Is worth a moment of your time
Knocking on your door just a little
So cold outside tonight
Let's get a fire burnin'
Oh I know I'll keep it burning bright
If you stay
Won't you stay
Stay

Save room for my love
Save room for the moment to be with me
Save room for my love
Save a little
Save a little for me
Won't you save a little
Save a little for me
Ooh

This just might hurt a little
Love hurts sometimes when you do it right
Don't be afraid of a little bit of pain
Pleasure is on the other side
Let down your guards just a little
I'll keep you safe in these arms of mine
Hold on to me, pretty baby
You will see
I can be all you need
If you stay
Won't you stay
Stay

Save room for my love
Save room for the moment to be with me
Save room for my love
Save a little
Save a little for me
Won't you save a little
Save a little for me
Ooh

Bah da ba baaa [x3]
Da da daaa

Ooh
Come on
Make time to live a little
Don't let these moments slip by tonight
You'll never know what you're missin till you try
I'll keep you satisfied
If you stay
Won't you stay
Stay

Save room for my love
Save room for the moment to be with me
Save room for my love
Save a little
Save a little for me
Won't you save a little
Save a little for me
Stay

Save room for my love
Save room for the moment to be with me
Save room for my love
Save a little
Save a little for me
Won't you save a little
Save a little for me

Last night was the worst night
Beginning of the end
Or maybe it began
Before it here we go again
Things got so dramatic
Things got out of hand
We said words we couldn't imagine
I don't understand

There you go with the same old thing
When things go wrong you always seem to blame me
Now I would like to find what secrets hide in your mind
Where the end will go
Will I ever know

Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows

So let's make this night the best night
It's time for second chance
Turn the beat up on repeat and we can start to dance

Sometimes when we talking words
Drowned on by the sound
Let's get back to touch and we'll get back on solid ground

Let's hold hands
Like a young romance
Let's first kiss like the moment we first did
Can we make love
Like back way in the day
We can lose control, baby don't say no

Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows

So will you come back to me
Heaven only knows
So will you come back to me

Make this night the best night
It's time for second chance
Turn the beat up on repeat and we can start to dance

Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows

. . .



She's a, fast love professional, crafty bold and beautiful,
Stage right, locked eyes, I swear it's magical,
Her name is Melanie, says she digs my melody
Likes how I move, thinks I'm cool that's what she says to me
Big stage, bright light, short love, long night
Frequent flies thru the skies to some stars
I come back to town, she's hangin' around
But still feels so real but it can't go too far

Her favourite colours be platinum and gold!
She only loves in stereo! she only loves in stereo!
I should know cause I've seen it before,
I think I gotta let her go, she only loves in stereo!
Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..
Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..

Turn on the video, oh my goodness there she goes
Now I'm hot, seems I'm not, the only one she knows
Name dropping everyday, I still want her anyway..
I like how she moves, think she's cool.. my favourite get away

Big stage, bright light, short love, long night
Deja vu yeh we'll do it again, off the next town,
She's onto the next round,
Let it go, we both know that its all gona end oh

Her favourite colours be platinum and gold!
She only loves in stereo! she only loves in stereo!
I should know cause ive seen it before,
I think I gotta let her go, she only loves in stereo!
Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..
Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..

Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..
Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..

She fell in love with the radio
Wasn't really me, so I had to let her go
Just ask any DJ back in her hotel
She likes to get around
As much as she gets down

Her favourite colours be platinum and gold!
She only loves in stereo! she only loves in stereo!
I should know cause I've seen it before,
I think I gotta let her go, she only loves in stereo!
Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..
She loves in stereo
Think I gotta let her
Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..
She loves in stereo
Think I gotta let her
Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..
She loves in stereo
Ohhh ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhh..
She loves in stereo
Oh, oh oh, oh oh!

. . .



I realized as I lay down to sleep
We haven't spoke in weeks
So many things that I'd like to know
Come have a talk with me
I need a sign, something I can see
Why all the mystery?
I try not to fall for make believe
But what is reality?
Where do we go?
What do we know?
Life has to have a meaning
Show me the light
Show me the way
Show that you're listening

Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven's watching over me

Guess it's funny how I say thanks to you
For all you've given me
Sometimes the price of what you gave to me
I can't stop questioning
O God of love, peace, and mercy
Why so much suffering?
I pray for the world, it gets worse to me
Wonder if you're listening
When people go
Why do they go?
Why don't you choose me?
But someday I know
I'm gonna go
I hope you're waiting for me

Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven's watching over me

Maybe we'll talk
Some other night
Right now I'll take it easy
Won't spent my time
Waiting to die
Enjoy the life I'm living

Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven's watching over me

. . .



Ooooohhh...

Where do we go who knows
But each day gets better
I just can let her go
(oooh, oh no)
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo

I'll write a song
I thought about it for far to long
But I Never had someone to sing about
Until I meet her and each days get better
Nobody knows
Nobody sees
Nobody else understands me like she
Now there I Know what true love means
I Just hope she stays with me

Where do we go who knows
But each day gets better
I just can let her go
(oooh, oh no)
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo

She Wants to breathe
She wants to be where the grass is green
She wants to know how love supposed to be
She wants it better
I want just let her know
She belongs right here with me
She's all that I make her see
I make her fall
Make her believe
I promised her that I never leave

And where do we go who knows
But each day gets better
I just can't let her go
(oooh, oh no)
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo

I Just Had to write a song about her
Tell her I don't wanna leave without her
Tell her that I would build my world around her
Deeper and deeper
Sweeter and sweeter
I'll never leave her alone

And where do we go who knows
But each day gets better
I just can let her go
(oooh, oh no)
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo

Each day gets better
I just can let her go

Each day kiss gets sweeter
I just can let her go

. . .



Let's go to the park
I wanna kiss u underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care

U know I love u when u loving me
Sometimes it's better when it's publicly
I'm not ashamed I don't care who sees
Just hugging & kissing our love exhibition all

We rendezvous out on the fire escape
I like to set up an alarm today
The love emergency don't make me wait
Just follow I'll lead u
I urgently need you

Let's go to the park
I wanna kiss u underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't

Let's make love, let's go somewhere they might discover us
Let's get lost in lies
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care

I see u closing down the restaurant
Let's sneak and do it when your boss is gone
Everybody's leaving we'll have some fun
Or maybe it's wrong but u turn me on
Ooh, we'll take a visit to your Mama's house
Creep to the bedroom while your Mama's out
Maybe she will hear it when we scream and shout
And we will keep it rocking until she comes knocking

Let's go to the park
I wanna kiss u underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't

Let's make love, let's go somewhere they might discover us.
Let's get lost in lies
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care

If we keep up on this fooling around
We'll be the talk of the town
I'll tell the world I'm in love any time
Let's open up the blinds cause we really don't mind

Ooh I don't care about the priority
Let's break the rules and ignore society
Maybe our neighbor like to spy too
So what if they watch when we do what we do

Oh, let's go to the park
I wanna kiss u underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't

Let's make love, let's go somewhere they might discover us...

Yea, sing it with me yall, oh yea yea

Can we wait just a minute
Slow it down for a minute now baby
Your talkin loud
Your wilding out
Don't seem like my old lady
Lets go and play the song we used to play
Can we reignite the flame
Cause things just ain't the same

We can talk about the baby
We can talk until we're crazy
We can focus on it now
Or we can focus on it later
We can start another fight
We can argue and fuss all night
But I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance

Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with you man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move yea

Can we wait just a minute
Turn that tv off for a minute
Now politics and talkin shit aint really none of my buisness
Lets go and play the songs we used to play
On that old school radio
Let the music soothe your soul

Forget about the world
Im groovin with my girl
Froret about the news
Lets put on our dancin shoes
Lets not talk about the war
Do we know what they fightin for
I propose that we go to the floor and we slow dance

Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with you man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move yea yea
Move yea yea

I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin together
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin together
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin together
I love it
I love it I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance

Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with your man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
Let the music make you move

. . .



The first time we ever got a chance to be alone we knew,
That it was wrong to do,
I guess that's why I was drawn to you,
The 2nd time leads to the 3rd, the 4th, the 7th time,
I feel so alive, it won't last but it's alright,
Pleading joy and fading ecstasy, here it goes again oh,
Sneaking fruit from the forbidden tree, Sweet taste of sin,

And I'm doing it again; yes I'm doing it again,
Oh I'm doing it again, I said it would end but here it goes again,

This time you told me you saw me at the same hotel,
You said you knew me well, and I had a familiar smell,
You asked me how am I ever going to put my trust in you,
Like you want me to, cause I know what you're prone to do,
Accusations fly like bullets do, here it goes again oh,
But you know me because you're doing it too,

The cycle never ends, never ends,
Yet you're doing it again,
Oh you're doing it again,
Yes you're doing it again,
You said it would end but here it goes again,
And again, and again

Damn I love you, but this is crazy,
I have to fight you almost daily,
We break up so fast,
And we, we make up so passionately,
Why can't we just trust each ,
You can't hate me and be my lover,
Passion ends, and pains begins, I come back...

And we're doing it again,
Yes we're doing it again,
Oh we're doing it again,
We said it would end but
Here it goes again,

Each time you call me home in a sweet refrain,
Saying things will change, you'll take away the pain,
Then we flashback to the first time you put your spell on me,
You envelope me, you feel good as hell to me,
One moment leads to another few,
Here it goes again oh,
Oh leaving you is oh so hard to do,
I just can't pretend, can't pretend,
I keep doing it again, yes I'm doing it again,
Oh I'm doing it again,
I said it would end but here it goes again,
Again

. . .



I happened to notice a girl in a light shade of blue
I happened to see her, the sight of her leaves me confused
She may not be you
But she looks just like you

You should've seen the way she wore her dress
And her white stiletto shoes
You should've seen the way they looked on her
Just like the ones that I bought you
I searched for days on end to no avail
'Til I found them in Peru
She must've been to Lima just as well
Because she had them too
You should've seen her eyes, her lips, her face
She looked as sweet as honeydew
You should've seen the way she walked away
Oh, she swayed her hips like you
I was only several steps from her
But she never noticed me
I took another sip of fine liqueur
It was quite a sight to see

I happened to notice a girl in a light shade of blue
I happened to see her, the sight of her leaves me confused
She may not be you
But she looks just like you

You should've seen the way he stroked her hair
And the smile that lit her face
You should've seen the way he kissed her lips
Did it have the same sweet taste?
Though my mid, it might be running wild
In constant search of you
It's funny how my eyes keep seeing things my heart
Would not believe are true

I happened to notice a man in a dark shade of blue
Who happened to be with a woman who leaves me confused
She may not be you
But she looks just like you

Maxine, she looks just like you
Maxine, she looks just like you
Maxine, Maxine

. . .



Where did my baby go?
I wonder where she ran off to
I miss my baby so
I'm calling but I can't get through
Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go?
I wish that she would get back soon (get back soon)

I'm searching for the lover I knew
Have you seen her?
Where did she go?
Feels like I've just lost my only friend
Flames subsided, colors faded
Love just got so complicated
Wish that I could see her smile again
So if you see her out there, tell her I'm still here
Waiting for the day when she will reappear

Where did my baby go?
I wonder where she ran off to
I miss my baby so
I'm calling but I can't get through
Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go?
I wish that she would get back soon (get back soon)

Maybe I was wrong and I
Ignored her for too long and I
Didn't even notice when she slipped away
Maybe while I lay fast asleep then
Out into the night she creeps
I'll leave the light on, so she'll come back someday
So if you see her out there, tell her it's not fair
That life's just not the same when she's not here

Where did my baby go?
I wonder where she ran off to
I miss my baby so
Just what am I supposed to do?
Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go?
I wish that she would get back soon (get back soon)

. . .


Oh, ohhh
Get back soon (ohhhh)
Where are you now? (ohh, get back soon)

Maxine (oh, where are you now?)
Maxine (get back soon)

Where are you now? (Where are you now?)
Where are you now? (Where are you now?)

Ooooooo

Sometimes I wonder, why she wouldn't stay
What I should have changed
Sometimes I wonder, why we its been so long
Why did I do wrong?

Maxineeee (Ohhh)
Maxineeee (ohhh)
Ohhhhh
Where are you now? (Where are you now?)
Ohhh, Where are you now?

. . .



So we did it again
Knowing we should quit it, but we simply won't admit it again
Oh it feels good, it's so good, but I won't do it again
It's so dramatic again
After we go at it, we get mad then we go at it again
Oh I love it, then I hate it, she's my favorite again
I'm wasting time
I can't help it she's so fine
Oh I like her style
And I love the way she talks and I smile
As much as we may try
Can't quite see eye to eye
So in the meantime, I guess we say bye-bye

(And again and again and again)
Oh, and then, we do it again
We do it again and we do it again
Oh, and then, we do it again
We want it again, and we want it again

So we fake it again
I think we're gonna blow it, and we know it
But she's naked again
We get wasted, then I taste it, then I waste it again
I can't invite her again
'Cause she'll go from a lover to a fighter
And I'll fight her again
So it's over, but I told her to come over again
I'm wasting time
But she's always on my mind
I can't let her go
Oh, she's not the best, but she's all that I know
As much as we may try
Can't quite see eye to eye
So in the meantime I guess we say bye-bye

(And again and again and again)
Oh, and then, we do it again
We do it again and we do it again
Oh, and then, we do it again
We want it again, and we want it again

So I've got a new friend
I wish I could forget you
But I miss you, wanna kiss you again
She's like you, but she's not you, gotta find you again

So we remember again
The middle of December and I took you out to dinner again
Oh I love her, it's not over, just another again

(And again and again and again)
Oh, it's another again-
I love her, it's another again...

. . .



A father waits upon a son
A mother prays for his return
I just called to see
If you still have a place for me
We know that like took us apart
But you're still within my heart
I go to sleep and feel your spirit next to me
I'll make it home again
I pray you'll fall in love again
Just say you'll entertain the possibility
I learned enough from my mistakes
Learned from all I didn't say
Won't you wait for me

It may be long to get me there
It feels like I've been everywhere
But someday I'll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I'll be coming home

We fight to stay alive
But somebody's got to die
It's so strange to me
A new year, a new enemy
Another soldier gone to war
Another story told before
Now it's told again
It seems the wars will never end
But we'll make it home again
Back where we belong again
We're holding on to when
We used to dare to dream
We pray we live to see
Another day in history
Yes we still believe

It may be long to get me there
It feels like I've been everywhere
But someday I'll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I'll be coming home

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming?
You know that I'll be coming home

It may be long to get me there
It feels like I've been everywhere
But someday I'll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I'll be coming home

. . .


From the very first time back when I met you at school
I looked in your eyes saw something special in you
We inspire the we
We'll be american dream
Escape this reality come start a new one with me
We could be neighbourhood royalty
Or much more than that u'll see
We're makin history
We'll go to the mass
Fly to heaven and back
The highest heights imagine
Yes we can do all of that baby

Lalalalalalalalalalalaaa we could be king and queen someday
Lalalalalalalalalalalaaa we'll never throw our dreams away

We'll make this picture complete
Start a new family
A boy that looks just like you
A girl that looks just like me
And each day that they grow
We'll teach them all that we know
Help me show them the way
We'll show them we're not afraid to be free
The only thing that should be
The flyest fantasies
The highest they can dream
Grab hold to my hand
Say that you'll be my man
Someday you'll be my king
And baby I'm your queen to be

Lalalalalalalalalalalaaa we could be king and queen someday
Lalalalalalalalalalalaaa we'll never throw our dreams away

Cities may cumble
The world is in trouble
But we'll be in love and
We'll rise above it
Each of our people
Pray for a leader
I know we will be someday
Someday...

Someday, Someday, Someday, Someday

Lalalalalalalalalalalaaa we'll never throw our dreams away
Lalalalalalalalalalalaaa we could be king and queen someday

Verse 1:
It's a celebration baby, step out with me.
Draped in your finest clothes and accessories.
I notice you've been focused on the stress of the week.
But it's Friday tonight.
Spend the night out with me.

Prechorus:
Let's hit the party tonight.
That will be out of sight.
No matter where we decide, it's gon' be on tonight.
You look you're ready and right.
You showed me out of sight.
We're coming home late tonight.

Chorus 1:
We gonna do it right right.
We'll do it right right.
Our hands are sky high.
From left to the right.
Don't look that the time.
Just let it fly by.
We live the good life.
And we'll do it right right.
We'll do it right right.

Verse 2:
Ain't too fast or slow, it's just enough to get down.
Might be from the country but were going to town.
This weekend we can freak a leek all on the floor.
First get low, then come close.
Let the music control, oh.

Prechorus:
Let's hit the party tonight.
That will be out of sight.
No matter where we decide, it's gon' be on tonight.
You look you're ready and right.
You showed me out of sight.
We're coming home late tonight.

We live the good life.
And we'll do it right right.
We'll do it right right.

Bridge:
This is the last call.
Fill up your glass ya'll.
We'll dance until they play the last song.
It's the end of the night.
Now it's just you and I.
It's time for us to take this party back home.

Prechorus:
Let's hit the party tonight.
That will be out of sight.
No matter where we decide, it's gon' be on tonight.
You look you're ready and right.
You showed me out of sight.
When we go home late tonight.

Chorus 2:
Girl we gon do it right right.
Until the daylight.
We'll do it light right.
Yes, we'll do it all night.
Don't look at the time.
Just let it fly by.
Yes, we'll live the good life.
And we'll do it right right.
Then we say bye bye.

Then we say bye bye
(bye bye)
Bye bye
(bye bye)
Bye bye
(bye bye)
Bye bye.

Baby, do you understand me now
And sometimes you see a little mad
Can always be an angel
When every things goes wrong you seem to be bad

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Most of the time
I’m so full of worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I’ve got in more my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do

'cause I love you baby
I'm just human
Have thoughts like any one
Sometimes I think I spend the rest of my life regretting
Some simple thing that I have done

(x4)
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
