Face

Sarah Jahn

Words by Sarah Jahn/Music by Sarah Jahn & Stephen Leiweke

Got a very nice face when she
Looks in the mirror
With something in the eyes
Held back by the curse
The old feeling comes again and
Makes its unwelcome
While she slips away
Behind draperies of silence

Chorus:

I dared to dream it away
To cover the stone with the smile of another
Bright sunny day
Remembrance can often be soothing
Remembrance can often be soothing

From within she looks out
She sings to the people
She seeks for the wisdom
For something to gain
Will the wise man come out and
Paint my reflection
I'll be on my way

I Do

Lisa Loeb

When I'm done with thinking,then I'm done with you.
When I'm done with crying, then I'm done with you.
When I feel so tired, then I'm done with you.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way -

And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.

You're trying to convince me that what I've done's not right.
I get so frustrated, I stay up every night.
You ask me for an answer, and I'm so tired and I'm up in the air.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feel this way -

And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You can't hear it, but I'm feeling this way just because you say

I will be ignored.
I will be denied.
I could be erased.
I could be brushed aside.
I will get scared, and I will get shoved down,
but I feel like I do because you push me around.

I'm starting to ignore you, I've doubted you so long.
I tired of overthinking, I no you don't belong.
Now I'm asking questions - no one pushes me around.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feel this way -

And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You don't seem angry, but I do.
I do.

As long as you love me

Backstreet Boys

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance

And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

Chorus: I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did As long as you love me
Who you are Where you're from Don't care what you did As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done Feels like it's deep within me Doesn't really matter if you're on the run It seems like it's meant to be

Chorus

Bridge:
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you are comin' from
I don't care, as long as you love me,baby.

Chorus

Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (repeat to fade)

Silent All These Years

Tori Amos

Excuse me but can I be you for awhile
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I've got the anti-christ in the kitchen yelling at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say but nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that

Chorus:

But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice
And it's been
Here silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough to get us there

**Chorus**

Years go by will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand
Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by will I choke on my tears till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty you know we're too easy easy easy

Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now
But baby don't look up, the sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody looking at you, you take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them

**Chorus**

Tell Him

Celine Dion & Barbra Streisand

I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh - what if
There's another one he's thinking of

Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do

I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by

Should I

Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself

Touch him
With the gentleness you feel inside
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's mean to be
All in time you'll see

I love him
Of that much I can be sure
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say

I'll

Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Blind faith will lead love where it has to go

Never let him go

Time Of Your Life

GreenDay

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredicatable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
of good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredicatable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

What You Want

by Mase


Mase f/ Total
What You Want


Total
Tell me what you want (repeat 5x)

Chorus
Tell me what you want from me
Take a look at what you see
Let me know if it's right here
Something you can have for years 
Tell me what you want from me
Take a look at what you see
Let me know if it's right here
Something you can have for years 

[Mase]
Now Mase be the man wanna see you doing good
I don't wanna get rich, leave you in the hood
Girl in my eyes you the baddest
The reason why I love you, you don't like me cause my status
I don't wanna see you with a carriage, living average
I wanna do my thing so we be established
And I don't want you rocking those pharrohs
Girl, I will give you karats till you feel you a rabbit
Anything in your path,  you want you can have
Walk through the mall, if you like it you can grab
Total it all up and out it on my tab
Then tell all your friends all the fun you had

Chorus

[Mase]
Hey Mama, won't you come here to Papa?
You don't like the way your tata's lookin at Shada?
In a 600 ain't no smokin cigada
Come over here I think I see your baby faddah
Here ya go the number to my casa
If you in a rush you call me manyana
Whatever you need girlfriend I got the whole enchilada
Just the way you like it Mase gonna do you propa
Girl I can tell you was meant for me
I can tell by the way you was sent for me
While I'm on tour trying to make them centuries
And they ask who your man you better mention me
If you don't, you know you got a problem
If you want no beef girlfriend don't start none
And it just so happens that I'm seeing cash
Cause you messed up a lot just trying to be fast
And I ain't gonna ask who smashed the E-Class
Pull up to the rear with the whole front crashed
Now you wanna laugh, good thing that's the past
If you ever lie again girl that will be your last

Chorus

[Mase]
Now the more you treat me royal I adore you
That's why I dont mind doing these things for you
You did things for me I wouldn't believe you did
That's why I always want to keep you here
In a year or two girl,  I could see you with my kids
Girl, you make a thug want to get a legal gig
It's only right we spend our lonely nights
Gettin crazy biz till we awake the kids
Don't get too loud got respect for you honey
To keep it all real, you come second to my money
Can you be my ghetto love prophecy?
Everybody love you girl, not just me
And I know you really care a lot for me
I want to see you happy even if it's not with me

Repeat chorus til fade
