Closer
Closer

[Verse 1:]
Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don't know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my ear
Tellin me that she wants to own me
To control me
Come closer
Come closer

[Chorus:]
And I just can't pull myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
And I just can't free myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop

[Verse 2:]
I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tongue
She's the sweetest taste of sin
The more I get the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer
She says come closer

[Chorus:]
And I just can't pull myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
And I just can't free myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop

[Bridge: In the background]
Come closer
Closer
Closer
Closer
Closer
Closer
Closer
I just can't stop no
I just can't stop no
I just can't stop no
I just can't stop no

[Chorus:]
And I just can't pull myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
And I just can't free myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop

And I just can't pull myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop

Come closer

Say oo there something about,
What kinda women wants you but you dont need you

She ses she got it,she got it, no doubt, theres something about her
Cuz she work like the boss, play like the boss
Car and a crib, she about to pay em both off
And her bills are paid on time

Why does she stay... mmmmmmm
Why does she stay... hey... mmmmmmm
Why does she stay... heyyy... mmmmmmm... uh

She hates that I don't do dishes
Even though I mess up the most
And she begs me all the time to help her
I know that I should but I'm lazy so I don't (mmmm yeah)
She's always considering my feelings
Thinkin of me before herself
Most of the time I'm so damn selfish
I don't even realize she treats me so well

She's so much better than me
I'm so unworthy of her

Ouhhhhh... Why does she stay
Why does she stay... why...

She hates that we don't spend much time (ouwow)
We barely see each other at all (ouwow)
She don't even nag me 'bout always working
She just says I just wish every now and then that you'd call (ouwow)
And I don't know why she's still here (mmm ouwow)
She could have any man that she wants
I step outside of myself
To see how much she loves me
And all the things that I should do for her that I just don't... just don't...
And I realize

She's so much better than me (so much better)
I'm so unworthy of her (so unworthy of her)

Ouhhhhh... Why does she stay
Why does she stay with me... tell me why... why why why...

She's in love
She's in love
She's in love
And I don't understand
And I don't understand
She's in love
She's in love
She's in love
Gotta be a better man for her
So I take my time and do what I'm suppose to do
Because I just can't see my life without you

Ohhh ohhhh yeahhhh

Why does she stay

She's so much better than me
I'm so unworthy of her

Ouhhhhh... Why does she stay
Why does she stay... tell me why... why why why

Why does she stay
Why does she stay

She looks so good in that white dress
At the far end of the aisle
Standing where I should be standing
Some other man on his face there's a smile

I just walked in sat down silent
I stood outside for awhile
Wondering why did I come here
Face it you messed up and now she's with somebody else

And now all I can do is smile
And fade into the background
I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background

Such a lovely reception
I sit here sipping rose
Then we catch eyes for a second
Both of us smile then quickly look away

It's funny you don't know what you got
Till you ain't got it no more
Put down my glass grab the bottle
I throw it back and I shout she with somebody else

And now all I can do is smile
And fade into the background
I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background

Fade right into the background

She's with somebody else
And now all I can do is smile
And fade into the background
I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background

So it's over
He's with someone else and you know her
And you just can't get any lower
You sit in the dark alone
Won't answer your phone
Well I'm sorry
I wont attend your pity party
I rather go have calamari
And maybe a drink
And yes I think
You should come with me

Life is long
There will be pain but life goes on
With everyday a brand new song
But if you rather stay at home
Let me do you a favor

I'll ask the sun to shine away from you
today so you can cry
(If that's what you want, alright)
I'll ask the clouds to bring the rain for you
today so you can cry
(If that's what you want, alright)
ooooo If that's what you want, alright

I'm a Lover
And the pain of a heart from another
Can be difficult to recover
Yes this I know
But difficult isn't impossible
And you shiver (shiver)
He was your warmth
You Cry Lips Quiver
Well honey go on cry me a river
You wanna be down (you wanna be down)
Fine let me help you out
I'll ask the sun to shine away from you
today so you can cry
(If that's what you want, alright)
I'll ask the clouds to bring the rain for you
today so you can cry
(If that's what you want, alright)
ooooo If that's what you want, alright
Then that what you want alright

And your tears won't bring him back
I know you wish that it did
But it just don't work like that
Ooo I know that healings takes time
Hey, even your heart has a pace
Ooo but how much time are you gonna take
Hmm too much will be a mistake

I'll ask the sun to shine away from you
today so you can cry
(If that's what you want, alright)
I'll ask the clouds to bring the rain for you
today so you can cry
(If that's what you want, alright)
I'll ask the sun to shine away from you
today so you can cry
If that's what you want

Style of your hair
Shape of you eyes and your nose
The way you stare, as if you see right through to my soul
To your left hand and the way that its not quite as big as your right.
The way u stand in the mirror before we go out at night.
Our quiet time
Your beautiful mind

There all part of the list
Things that i miss
Things like your funny little laugh, or the way you smile, or the way we kiss
What i notice is this
I come up with
Something new every single time, that i sit and reminisce

The way your sweet smell, lingers when you leave a room.
Stories you tell, as we lay in bed, all afternoon
I dreamed you now every night, in my mind is where we meet
And when im awake, staring at pictures of you asleep
Touching your face
Invading your space.

There all part of the list
Things that i miss
Things like your funny little laugh, or the way you smile, or the way we kiss
What i notice is this
I come up with
Something new every single time, that i sit and reminisce.

And you live in my memories forever more, i swear

And you live in my memories forever more, i swear

There all part of the list
Things that i miss
Things like your funny little laugh, or the way you smile, or the way we kiss
What i notice is this
I come up with
Something new every single time, that i sit and reminisce.

Aye hey hey
Woah woah woah
Said whoa whoa whoa

[Verse 1:]
I don't know where to begin,
Fighting a war I can't win, fighting a memory
Something that used to be, (Mmm)
No matter how hard I fight,
All of my strength and might,
Keeps on defeating me, it just keeps on defeating me.

[Chorus:]
So what I'm trying to say, I know what's happening,
Your body is here with me,
But your heart and your mind is still with him.

Go back to what you know,
Go back to where you know where your heart is,
Girl, just be honest, this is impossible,
This is impossible, we'll never work cause you don't want it,
Girl, you belong with him so just go back to what you know,
Go back to what you know, because this is impossible.

[Verse 2:]
Telling me things that you two, did when he was with you,
How he was oh so sweet, the way that he used to treat you,
Instead you just can't keep him outta your mind.
Why can't you just tell me that I'm not who you want to be,
Baby you don't want me, no, no, no.

[Chorus:]
So what I'm trying to say, I know what's happening,
Your body is here with me,
But your heart and your mind is still with him.

Go back to what you know,
Go back to where you know where your heart is,
Girl, just be honest, this is impossible,
This is impossible, we'll never work cause you don't want it,
Girl, you belong with him so just go back to what you know,
Go back to what you know, because this is impossible.

[Bridge:]
And if that was really what you want,
I will not stand in your way, you want to be free
I will let you be,
I rather you have me, than miserable with me,
Back to what you know,
Back to what you know,
Said back to what you know.

[Chorus:]
Go back to what you know,
Go back to where you know where your heart is,
Girl, just be honest, this is impossible,
This is impossible, we'll never work cause you don't want,
Girl, you belong to him so just go back to what you know,
Go back to what you know, because this is impossible.

So there ain't no need to make those lies
You're stuck in the past,
Pedal to the gas and drive away

Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie
I just wanna be lone
I don't wanna feel a thing
I don't want reality
Actually, reality stinks
How about we just pretend,
That your cell phone didn't even ring
And that I wasn't on the other side of the door
Listening to everything.
Tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie...
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie
Please make me believe
That there is nobody for you and me
When I ask who where you talking to
Tell me it was Candy
Tell me the last night you didn't leave
After you thought I was asleep
Crept back in that 6 45
Tell me it was just a dream
Baby I need, desperately, desperately

To believe you
Cause I wont be held responsible
For what, what I might do
Baby I need, desperately, desperately
To believe you
Cause I wont be held responsible
For what, what I might to do me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,

What I need you to do, tell me another lie...
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie

What I need you to do, tell me another lie

O.K.
I woke up in heaven today
She kissed me I floated away (away)
Never felt anything so great
Alright, now I brace myself for the fights
I'm light as a feather tonight

Cause I can't feel the ground
Someone let me down
I never felt so high as I do now
It's too good to be true
I don't deserve you
I never felt a love strong enough to
Stop this world from spinning
Stop this world from spinning

And I see heaven when she looks at me
In her smile is the most amazing dream
And in her eyes I fall asleep
And I hope
Hope that she can see through the smoke
Of my imperfections into my soul
And my heart where she has control (she has control)

Cause I can't feel the ground
Someone let me down
I never felt so high as I do now
It's too good to be true
I don't deserve you
I never felt a love strong enough to
Stop this world from spinning

Happiness like this can never last (can never last)
Turns into the memories of the past (turns into the memories of the past)
[? ] (going just as fast)

And I can't feel the ground
Someone let me down
I said I've never been so high as I am now
It's too good to be true
I don't deserve you
I never felt a love strong enough to
Stop this world from spinning (hey, hey, hey)
Stop this world from spinning

She wanted the money, fame
