What a way to wake up
Just to find you there and
Touch you in the morning
You turn your head and look up
There's no need to catch me
Baby, I'm not falling
Could have guessed after all that
Id be standing tall
You make me feel

[chorus]
Free
When you're near me
Yeah I'm free
All the time
I just need you to hear me
It's only you that makes me free
I'm not used to being loved, not me

Open up the window
Just as the sun comes over the horizon
What a perfect moment
Trying to catch my breath
I find it so surprising
Who'd have guessed after all that
I'd be standing tall
You make me feel

[chorus]
Free
When you're near me
Yeah I'm free
All the time
I just need you to hear me
It's only you that makes me free
I'm not used to being loved, not me

Seem to exist with these
Chains around me
I thought that I was free
I never knew that's not
An easy thing to be
It's just the way that
Your love surrounds me
Who'd have guessed after all that
I'd be standing tall
You make me feel
Free, when you're near me

Who'd have guessed after all that
I'd be standing tall
You make me feel

[chorus]
Free
When you're near me
Yeah I'm free
All the time
I just need you to hear me
It's only you that makes me free
I'm not used to being loved, not me

Not me

All of the boys and the girls at the party
And I'm the only one alone
So I crossed the dance floor
Heading for the back door
Ready to make my way home
But wait a minute what's this I see
J-lo glow and legs to spare
Something you got put it on me
Guess I ain't going anywhere

[Chorus:]
I don't know what it is
But it's shining like a star
So come on over
And show me who you are
A little closer I can't touch it from afar
Just you and me girl
Dirty dancing in the dark
And oh..

Well we could talk a little
Laugh a while and maybe
Talk a little more
But let's sidestep the usual bullshit
Make our way onto the floor
Baby there's something bright about you
Youe eyes, your smile, youe style of dress
You make me feel like I'm a sinner
And now I'm ready to confess

[Chorus]
I don't know what it is
But it's shining like a star
So come on over
And show me who you are
A little closer I can't touch it from afar
Just you and me girl
Dirty dancing in the dark
And oh..

And oh if you let me touch your body
Girl I'll let you put it on me
I can make you feel so good, so good..

And oh if you let me touch your body
Girl I'll let you put it on me
And I really wish you would, you would

So everybody, everybody
Nice and slow now
With the flow now

[repeat x3]

So everybody, everybody
Nice and slow now

[Chorus]
I don't know what it is
But it's shining like a star
So come on over
And show me who you are
A little closer I can't touch it from afar
Just you and me girl
Dirty dancing in the dark
And oh..

You say, you've got all you'd ever want
Then how come you're
Demanding everything
A little more from everyone
You're always
Turning all my rights to wrongs
With the bitter words you're whispering
I see we've come undone, well

There's something wrong about it
Your life's too over crowded
I'm tired of giving it all
And taking the fall, I Guess

[Chorus:]
I'm wasting your time, baby
If something within you
Can't be satisfied
Then Get up, Get out, Give In, oh if
I'm cramping your style, lately
If something is greener on the other side
Then go on, and have
The time of your life

Shameful, always treated me the same
Twisting every little circumstance
In to your gain
Resentful, gone too far to give a damn
All those things that did belong to me
Keep 'em like you planned, well

There's no two ways about it
My life's too short for shouting
I'm tired of giving it all
And taking the fall, I guess

[Chorus]
I'm wasting your time, baby
If something within you
Can't be satisfied
Then Get up, Get out, Give In, oh if
I'm cramping your style, lately
If something is greener on the other side
Then go on, and have
The time of your life

Ain't no reason in me holding you down
So move on baby, and someone else
proud, because...

[Chorus]
I'm wasting your time, baby
If something within you
Can't be satisfied
Then Get up, Get out, Give In, oh if
I'm cramping your style, lately
If something is greener on the other side
Then go on, and have
The time of your life

The time of your life
The time of your life
The time of your life
The time of your life

There's no two ways about it
My life's too short for shouting
I'm tired of giving it all
And taking the fall, I guess

Good love, left me feeling kinda bad
Riled up, after all the fun we had
Put off, by your dirty meddlin'
Ain't that long since
I was your hootchie cootchie man

But you're getting off
Spreading dirty lies, Ya'broke promise
Don't come as no surprise
No, no, that aint gonna bother me
I ain't making a scene

[Chorus]
So have it your way
But you'll pay the price
You had ya chances, Still got no answers
No leaving with your head held high
I ain't gonna run, I aint gonna fight
So don't go making business
When you ain't got no witness
I guess you gotta let love lie
Unjustified

So sad, turning on me like you did
Cold cash, got you like a sedative
Lifestyle, live the life of luxury
While somehow
I'm sleeping with the enemy

You'll get none of that money making lies
You can't bare to do better thinking twice
If you're taking me on
You're doing it all wrong yeah
And where d'ya get that attitude from?

[Chorus]
So have it your way
But you'll pay the price
You had ya chances, Still got no answers
No leaving with your head held high
I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna fight
So don't go making business
When you ain't got no witness
I guess you gotta let love lie
Unjustified

I thought i was seeing something else
Something sweeter, nothing like the rest
But you were trouble
Dressed as tenderness
Cos this deception that you played on me
Has left you where you didn't wanna be
But don't come knockin' here for sympathy

[Chorus]
So have it your way
But you'll pay the price
You had ya chances, Still got no answers
No leaving with your head held high
I ain't gonna run, I aint gonna fight
So don't go making business
When you ain't got no witness
I guess you gotta let love lie
Unjustified

Your were the words that I won't forget
mine are the ones that I won't regret
Made me feel good and I told you that
But you twist the knife
When I turned my back
You took a chance and you lost control
Got little heart and you got no soul
Guess all of these things
Gotta let them lie, Unjustified

Is there something wrong tonight
Or am i being paranoid
I guess I might have had
A little too much to drink
I wonder who she's talking to
Cos I'm about to act the fool
I smell something cooking and
I don't know what to think

[Bridge:]
What's going on?
I don't know whose right or wrong
Yeah, Tell me babe
It looks like you've been crying
What did he say before he walked away
Maybe I was outta line thinking you
were flirting with another guy...

[Chorus:]
I realise that we all can make mistakes
And I'll do whatever it takes babe
(you know I'd do anything for you)
I don't know if I could stand the pain
If you'd taken your love away babe
If you asked me now I guess I feel
Ashamed

Ashamed, Ashamed, Ashamed

I didn't mean to cause a fight
Cross my heart and hope to die
I guess I'm terrified of the thought
Of losing you
You say he's just a friend
But I don't think it's true
Once upon a time it would never have
crossed my mind

[Bridge / Chorus]
What's going on?
I don't know whose right or wrong
Yeah, Tell me babe
It looks like you've been crying
What did he say before he walked away
Maybe I was outta line thinking you
were flirting with another guy...

I realise that we all can make mistakes
And I'll do whatever it takes babe
(you know I'd do anything for you)
I don't know if I could stand the pain
If you'd taken your love away babe
If you asked me now I guess I feel
Ashamed

Ashamed, Ashamed, Ashamed [repeat]

[Chorus (repeat)]
I realise that we all can make mistakes
And I'll do whatever it takes babe
(you know I'd do anything for you)
I don't know if I could stand the pain
If you'd taken your love away babe
If you asked me now I guess I feel
Ashamed

The sun is shining through
Oh this perfect morning
And I know that I am blessed
But I'm guilty nonetheless
So many people lost
So many people hurting
And I wish I had a way
To make everything okay

I don't know why
How we got here
But i reach inside
And the answer clear

[chorus:]
Only love can heal the pain
It can right the wrong
Can take the blame
Only love can realize
Nothin' more we need
Cause it's all inside
So we fight, fight, fight
And we won't let go and we reach up high
Til everybody knows
Only love can understand
Only love can bring us together again

And it seems since time began
That people just been fightin'
And it ain't just black or white
And it ain't just wrong or right
And I get so overwhelmed
So disconnected
Til you reach out to me
You know just what I need

As long as I
Can hold you near
It's gonna be alright
Won't have no fear

[chorus]
Only love can heal the pain
It can right the wrong
Can take the blame
Only love can realize
Nothin' more we need
Cause it's all inside
So we fight, fight, fight
And we won't let go and we reach up high
Til everybody knows
Only love can understand
Only love can bring us together again

Ask me where the worst place
Could possibly be,
Well I'm already there girl
Guess how long it took
To set all my demons free
Well I'm already there girl

I got my wake up call
When you shut that door
And it all becameclear to me

[chorus:]
All I want is you
I'm no longer confused
My life is not the same and I'm to blame
I need you babe
Say this love won't die
Give me one more try
Don't really have to say
You gotta leave you wanne break
I need you Baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

I swear I'll change my ways
If you promise to stay
Wanna know my biggest fear girl

So take a look at me
See how I've changed
There's no-one to take your place

[chorus]
All I want is you
I'm no longer confused
My life is not the same and I'm to blame
I need you babe
Say this love won't die
Give me one more try
Don't really have to say
You gotta leave you wanne break

Girl I know I did you wrong
Yeah baby
I gladly take you back if I could oh..

Just gotta make things right
We've still got the time

All I want is you

My life is not the same and I'm to blame

Say this love won't die
Give me one more try
Don't really have to say
You gotta leave you wanna break

Give me one more try

Some days when I was young
And I was dressed up as I do
Not looking like the rest
But what I felt as cool

They said I was the one
Who was playing a fool?
For attention id stand
How the way that I do

They used to pick and tease
Not take me seriously
But see I did not care
Coz we were only kids
So back then they did laugh
And make fun out of me
(I don’t know this line)
Looking right as I did

chorus
They say that I don’t eat
And then I don’t get no sleep
They say that I aint cool
And then I look like a freak
I said I aint you
And you are not me
We are who we are
let us be

Theres a reunion
And I meet them same old kids
Don’t recognize their friends
But do remember me
So back then they did laugh
And make fun out of me
(I don’t know this line)
Looking right as I did...yeah

They say that I don’t eat
And then I don’t get no sleep
They say that I aint cool
And then I look like a freak
I said I aint you
And you are not me


They say that I don’t know
And say my mind is too weak
They say my vibe is slow
And say I aint got no beat
I said I aint you
and you are not me
We are who we are
let us be

so my story to you is
stand up and be proud
if you're quiet then that’s cool
if you're not shine…..in love

they say that I don’t eat
and that I get no sleep….oh yeah
they that I aint cool
(its all about….????)
and that I look like a freak
I said I ain’t you and

You are not me

They say(yeah) that I don’t know

And say my mind is too weak
(too weak)
They say my vibe is slow
And say I (aint got no beat)
I said I aint you and

They say I don’t know
And say that my mind is too weak
They say my vibe is slow
And say I aint got no beat
I said I aint you and you are not me..no
We are who we are
let us be

Can't keep a flower underground
Can't keep the sun from shining down
And I can't make you stay
You feel your world is undefined
You feel that what you need is time
Open up your wings and find your way

And I won't try to hold you back
And I hope you already know that

Chorus
I'll be your sanctuary
Be the last one left here standing
If you're feelin all alone
When the world feels so temporary
And you think there's such a long
Long way to go
You're all ready home
You're home

You might be somewhere flyin free
The same sky is watching over me
Close your eyes and look around
What ever ocean that you cross
Thought you many drift you're never lost
And I will be your solid ground

Cause I know that inside my heart
Gonna get back to where we started

Chorus
I'll be your sanctuary
Be the last one left here standing
If you're feelin all alone
When the world feels so temporary
And you think there's such a long
Long way to go
You're all ready home
You're home

You're already here in my arms
The way that you are tonight
Just give me till mornin' comes
(It's gonna be all right – (repeat)

I'll...(Sanctuary)
I'll...I
(Repeat)

Chorus (Repeat to fade)
I'll be your sanctuary
Be the last one left here standing
If you're feelin all alone
When the world feels so temporary
And you think there's such a long
Long way to go
You're all ready home
You're home
