The Night Is Young
We're crossing city streets don't care baby who we meet
Just tell me whats your name girl, tell me whats your name my love?
Look now it's half past 5 we're slippin into the night
Just tell me whats your name girl, tell me whats your name my love?

What are we waiting for?
Lets break down these doors
Have some fun
can't remember when, how or where we've been anymore...
You're my date and oh you're lookin so fine
Until the night is done you're my only one
Then you fade away

The night is young so let's just have some fun girl
We won't wait for the sun, we won't wait for the sun...

Uh oh, its 10 past 9
Won't you give me a sign?
Just tell me whats your game girl, tell me whats your game my love?
Right now we feel so free, thats how life is supposed to be
Just tell me whats your game girl, tell me whats your game my love?

It's getting late and I've lost track of time...

L-L-Look now its midnight,
We're too close to the sunlight
It's out last chance to make a move

The night is young, lets have some fun
We won't wait for the sun



Sing It With Me
Anything that you want you've got girl
Oh I would give you everything
Wanna dance wanna shop my lady?
Oh we can do anything

From Jersey to L.A.
All you gotta do is say
And you got it your way
...and you got it your way
From Paris to Beijing girl
All you gotta do is say
And you got it your way
...and you got it your way

We've got it going on tonight
No one
Can stop us or get in out way
We bring
The party everywhere we go
We Roll
Cause thats the way we roll girl

Love the way that you move and you groove girl
Oh I would give you everything
You're my star and my one true lover
Oh we can do anything
From London to New Zealand
All you gotta do is say
And you got it your way

Say sing it with me
I said sing it with me

Don't say that won't cause I'll feel wrong
And babe, I'm checkin' what you got with those high heels on
Oh time is on your side



Over
It once was me and you
But now I see we're through
It's over... over
Now from dusk til' dawn
You'll be forever gone
It's over... over

I can still feel you're love for me
Next to me, it's where you should be
Like that one night in July
I can see the summer sky

Say that you feel it to
Because I know you do
So just tell it like it is
It all comes down to this
Am I someone you will miss?
Or does the story end like this?

Like actors we knew how to pretend
We watched this candle burn at both ends

I still wait for yesterday to come again
So I can relive all my mistakes and make amens

Like lovers we still feel theres a way
And I'll miss the way you looked at me



Give It All We've Got
I said we'd leave this place for good
Just like I told you
I won't turn back
We won't give up
...And we live and we love and we breathe this dream
So we close our eyes and just believe
I won't turn back
We won't give up

Let's give it all we've got
For one more night and one more shot
Cut the BS cut the metaphores
We got something worth fighting for
We got! We got!
We got to break out
We got! We got!
We got to stand out

We're risking everything we are
So let me tell you we're here to stay
I won't turn back
We won't give up
We learn and we try and we laugh and we cry
It's so hard to make it through the night
I won't turn back
We won't give up



Comin' Back
You and you're seductive kiss
Is makin' me hit and miss
Oh oh ohhh
You got me weak in both my knees
I'm so desperate I be beggin' please
Oh oh ohhh
You know you want me
But I need something deeper than this
You know you had me
But I need someone worth all my time

You got me beggin please!

I fell in love and played your game girl
Now I wished I'd played it safe
I k k k k keep on comin' back
I k k k k keep on comin' back
I need someone who will lie with me
Not next to me...

I'm raisin' from the dead
Never thought you'd see me again
Oh oh ohhh
Even though you break me down
I find myself hangin' around



The Feeling
Does he make you feel like I do?

You've got that feeling baby
The kind of feeling that destroys you from the inside out
Oh and It's love
You know what you do to me

It's what you do to me baby it's what you do to me
Its what you do, oh it's what you do

Tell me baby does he make you feel like I do?
Tell me does he really turn you on?
Does he make you feel like I do, baby??
Baby im believin' baby I'm believin in you

does he. make you. feel like. i do.

Your college dorm never looked so intelligent
And these books that you are reading couldnt teach you a thing
You know it

Tell me baby does he make you feel like I do?
Tell me does he really turn you on?
Does he make you feel like I do, baby??
Come on baby does he treat you like you should be?
Tell me does he treat you like a Queen?
I don't think he'll ever make you feel like I do

So...

You got that feeling??
you got that feeling??
Oh you've got that feeling



With The Lights Off
Let me be the first to make you see that you are not the worst
Oh honey you've got needs. (Oh baby you've got needs)
Girl, you know your body can't deny and you cannot lie
Oh honey you've got needs. (Oh baby you've got me)
You're spinning me round and round
You know this, I know this
You're spinning me round and round
You noticed, I noticed

With the lights off we slip into your sheets
And with the lights off, well this is where we meet
And with the lights on we let them know who did you
You'll never forget the night we had with the lights off

Girl, let me be the first to take your hand and quench your thirst
Oh honey you've got needs. (Baby you've got needs)
Girl you know this ain't the last goodbye so please do not cry
Oh honey sing with me. (Baby sing with me)

I put my heart on the line
Just wish you'd love me in return
I put my heart on the line
Just wish you'd love me in return



Baby
Take my rhythm and feels these blues

Baby your so addictive, so tell me why your so vindictive
You know I'd give it up for you
Beautiful girl, when you do things like you do
You know that all I wanna do is you

And I'll tell you theres no calm before this storm
no, no, no, no, no

Storm!!!

I'll satisfy your every want and need
So that from head to toe theres nothing left to feed

Well is this the way you're gonna act babe?
I always knew you were the one to misbehave
And I can't seem to believe in you anymore
And I always knew you weren't my baby

Baby I don't know you
Baby you dont know me
But baby I cant tell you
That Baby you dont own me

There are some things money can't buy
For everything else theres excuses you try
Cause I'm not buying in
Cause I'm not buying in

And I always knew that I'd leave
And I always knew that I'd leave
