It's one of those days and I need some distraction I've gotta stop trying to be everything to everyone I wish that I could turn the tables 'Cos this world's got me running round in circles I guess it would make it easier If I had someone to talk it over [No doubt, no doubt] I guess it would make things easier If you were here right now I can't get you out of my head Can't get you out of my head I can't get you out of my head Can't get you out of my head It's hard to believe you've been gone so long And there I go again, am I wrong still holding on Sometimes I feel unable To do the things that everyday people do I guess it doesn't make it easier That you still mean so much to me I guess it doesn't make it easier That I never did let you go I can't get you out of my head Can't get you out of my head I can't get you out of my head Can't get you out of my head They say time is the healer There is a season for everything For everything there is a reason Got to learn to let go I wish that I could turn the tables 'Cos this world's got me running round in circles There I go again, am I wrong still holding on I can't get you out of my head Can't get you out of my head I can't get you out of my head Can't get you out of my head It's hard to believe you've been gone so long And there I go again, am I wrong still holding on Sometimes I feel unable To do the things that everyday people do I guess it doesn't make it easier you've been gone so long I guess it doesn't make it easier I can't get you out of my head Can't get you out of my head I can't get you out of my head Can't get you out of my head
She's lookin' for a way out of this hole She's out on her own, with hungry mouths to feed The precious little she scratches on the dole Is barely enough to cover all their needs It hurts to see her once strong frame Broken down, by the constant blows of rejection And now in place of the sweetest smile She wears a frown, of worry and dejection Oh it's a cold, cold world [that turns it's back on you] When you're cryin out for a little love A little love and understandin' People at the top looking down They don't wanna know whose at the back of the line People at the top looking down Can't relate to our troubled minds People at the top looking down People at the top She's all caught up in these inner city blues Out of control, she's losin' her mind Her story's told but it's second hand news To a world without care, they've heard it all before Tryin' to do the best she can But she's losin' faith in all that she believes in The light is fading and hope is dissipatin' They say that they listen, Lord knows that they don't hear Oh, it's a cold, cold world [that turns it's back on you] When you're cryin out for a little love A little love and understandin' People at the top looking down They don't wanna know whose at the back of the line People at the top looking down Can't relate to our troubled minds People at the top looking down They don't wanna know whose at the back of the line People at the top looking down Can't relate to our troubled minds People at the top looking down They don't wanna know whose at the back of the line People at the top looking down Can't relate to our troubled minds
Once our love was drifting I felt left out and alone There was nothing more that I could do I lost my hold on you
And through it all I kept my faith In the good things from the past Then one day out of the blue You came back to me
In time, everything changes Nothing stays the same Goes 4 U, goes 4 me, goes 4 every 1 We're like the morning sun In time, everything changes Troubles disappear Goes 4 U, goes 4 me, goes 4 every 1 We're like the morning sun
Holding on to something 'Cos it feels so right You don't doubt it for a minute Day or night
You know you've got to keep the faith Don't let it slip away Knew one day that you'd return And together we will stay
In time, everything changes Nothing stays the same Goes 4 U, goes 4 me, goes 4 every 1 We're like the morning sun In time, everything changes Troubles disappear Goes 4 U, goes 4 me, goes 4 every 1 We're like the morning sun
If we believe there's a future Take the time to remember That the setting sun will always rise again
In time, everything changes Nothing stays the same Goes 4 U, goes 4 me, goes 4 every 1 We're like the morning sun In time, everything changes Troubles disappear Goes 4 U, goes 4 me, goes 4 every 1 We're like the morning sun
All along, you did nothing wrong, Still I'm missing something strong And I feel I don't belong - Oh no, What should I do? But tell the truth 'Cos it's been eating me away, And I'm burning just to say That we can't go on this way, oh no, What should I do, What can I do? And now, I wish that I Could give you more, than a strong cold heart, I wish that somebody would have told me, Then this would have been unnecesary Now you're asking me why, but I just can't lie You gave me more, than a stone cold heart In a million years I never, thought we'd ever have to end this way
Now we've come this far and we Find it hard to just be freineds, so it's better if we end this way, I don't wanna lead you on no more And now, I wish that I Could give you more, than a strong cold heart, I wish that somebody would have told me, Then this would have been unnecesary Now you're asking me why, but I just can't lie You gave me more, than a stone cold heart In a million years I never, thought we'd ever have to end this way
And now, I wish that I Could give you more, than a strong cold heart, I wish that somebody would have told me, Then this would have been unnecesary Now you're asking me why, but I just can't lie You gave me more, than a stone cold heart In a million years I never, thought we'd ever have to end this way

There was a time when no one Could ever take your place (That's not the case anymore) Took for granted that tomorrow was ours to play Boy things have changed Nothing stayed the same When you chose to move away Haven't heard your voice in so very long Say I've been missed but I wouldn't know I might be better off living on my own 'Cos love won't last now that hope is gone Promised the distance wouldn't change a thing Now the fault is work, it's keeping you away You'd try harder if you want my love If you want my love
Careless intentions Is what this has become (I'm struck with a broken heart) Here we're flowing on emotions Of what once was Boy things have changed Nothing stayed the same When you chose to move away (move away) Haven't heard your voice in so very long Say I've been missed but I wouldn't know I might be better off living on my own 'Cos love won't last now that hope is gone Promised the distance wouldn't change a thing Now the fault is work, it's keeping you away You'd try harder if you want my love If you want my love Looking back on how things used to be No one could tell me that this would be our destiny And now I'm facing life on my own without you baby Though we're miles apart-you had my heart I'm tired of the confusion I'd rather just be freinds (There's no hope of a second chance) No sense in going through the motions Like it's not the end, like this is not the end Haven't heard your voice in so very long Say I've been missed but I wouldn't know I might be better off living on my own 'Cos love won't last now that hope is gone Promised the distance wouldn't change a thing Now the fault is work, it's keeping you away You'd try harder if you want my love If you want my love

Did we really ever try to understand each other Or was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder Was it just a game that sometimes people play sometimes people play I wonder if We ever listened To a word That the other had to say All that we shared Our inner treaures Are used against each other as we fall Did we really ever try to understand each other Or was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder Was it just a game that sometimes people play sometimes people play I wonder if Before we started We could have known That the road would end this way What makes us give Our hearts so freely Only to find that we are strangers after all Did we really ever try to understand each other Or was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder Was it just a game that sometimes people play sometimes people play
We fool ourselves Into believing Our differences will surely change in time And we proceed Blissfully blinded Throwing caution to the wind along the way Did we really ever try to understand each other Or was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder Was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever try to understand each other Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder Was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever try to understand each other Or was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder Was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever try to understand each other Or was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder Was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever try to understand each other Or was it just a game that sometimes people play Did we really ever see eye to eye
Chorus:I could talk 'til my face turns blueBut do I have the heart to breakaway and make a changeI could talk the whole night throughTell you what I'm gonna doMorning comes and I'm right here with youMy mind is getting tiredI'm stressing and I'm blueConstant contemplatingWhat to do with youKeep saying that I'm leavingAnd we know this love can't growWhat's a girl to do?When she just can't let it goIt's easy to say that you're leavingBut harder to ignore the feelingWe both know we don't want nobody elseSo let's stop playingChorus (x2)And though we keep on tryingUndo the things we doHeadspace and distractionsAre keeping me from youI can't believe that we let all this time go byAnd managed to treat each other so unkindEmotions will dictate the paceFor there are things we can't eraseWe can't let it goIt's easy to say that you're leavingBut harder to ignore the feelingWe both know we don't want nobody elseSo let's stop playingChorus (x2)I'm stressing and I'm blueWhat's a girl to do?I'm stressing and I'm blueBut still I'm here with youIt's easy to say that you're leavingBut harder to ignore the feelingWe both know we don't want nobody elseSo let's stop playing
Living in a world, where everything demands understanding We try and find a way, through the places and spaces in the game
We spend a long time running from ourselves Before we can discover who we are
*Talkin' bout roots Ah yah, yah Back to a way of life Roots Ah yah, yah Talkin' bout roots, back to a way of life Roots Ah yah, yah Back to a way of life
Take a step inside, your cultural desires await you We owe it to ourselves to seek the primal spark that caused the flame
We spend a long time running from ourselves Before we can discover who we are
I don't want to spend my life trying to change you This time I'm gonna take it as it comes There are so many things that I want to ask you I am unafraid of what the answers may be
Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo Before you walk away And start burning any bridges Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo This woman's not the one you knew There's been so many changes
Please don't turn my love away (Don't turn my love away) I'm gonna love you like no one's ever done before Oh please don't turn your love away (Turn my love away) I'm gonna show you a love like you've never known
We travel so many roads in a lifetime In search of a promise, (Promise of a dream come true) And now that I've found you Like a falling star falling from the midnight sky I've got to let you know
(If only I knew then) If I knew then what I know now Babe I got no doubt that you'd be mine (Baby got no doubt that you'd be mine) No doubt in my mind you'd be mine
Please don't turn my love away (Don't turn my love away) I'm gonna love you like no one's ever done before Oh please don't turn away my love away (Turn my love away) I'm gonna show you a love like you've never known
Don't you turn away, run away and leave me this way Don't you turn away, don't you run away
Out in Rio, we strolled the Ipanema And headed for the samba How could we know, Just what would come at sunset The day we’ll never forget
With Sugar loaf in the distance fading We held the night, and it felt so right No greater feeling have I known Than to watch the sunrise in your eyes Sweet love
Now I got this feeling, it’s undenying Gonna give you everything your heart desires Yes I got the feeling, making me feel so good Gonna give you everything your heart desires
Come with me now, let’s take a flight to Mexico Something there I want to show you Lets take our wings like butterflies, together we can touch the skies Like Frida and Diego
Through the deserts and the harsh lands baby I hold you tight, it feels so right No greater feeling have I known Than to watch the sunrise in your eyes Sweet love
I’m packin’ my bags and I’m on my way It’s time once again to take my music on the road But first let me hold you close a while For it’s this kind of tenderness I’m gonna need to get me through
(Baby you know how to heal my wounds) Oh yes you do With you in my life I feel like I just cannot lose (Just can’t lose) So wherever I am in this world I just close my eyes and I find you
*(All I got to do is close my eyes baby) Wherever I am there you are (All I got to do is close my eyes) Wherever I am you will always be
We’re headin’ for the big one down Geneva way We’re makin’ for the shorelines where everybody’s come to play Some of us are sleepin’ Others at the back just chillin’ You’re on my mind and everything is alright, yeah
Baby you know how to heal my blues Oh yes you do With you in my life Oh I feel like I just can't lose (Just can’t lose) So wherever I am in this world I just close my eyes and I find you
I’m gonna need more than a lifetime To do all of the things that I wanna do with you, babe Thank you for you understanding Baby knows I got a gig to do
Things are not always what they appear to be Beneath the calm exterior There can be a soul on fire
Truth is not always what the eyes can see The smile upon our faces Can disguise our pain and hide the traces
*Sometimes the rock that we depend on Melts into the ground and disappears The one thing you thought was forever Slowly washed away by all the tears
**If I gotta be true to no other I gotta be true to myself
Raise up your head now so the world can see You have the inner vision Though the fight is far from over
You’ve got to battle with it endlessly Before life becomes a rumour A sudden risin' tide that pulls you under
(repeat *, **)
(True to myself)... (True to myself)...
If I’m gonna make it come tomorrow (True to myself) Hallowed be the voice of constant sorrow (True to myself) Gotta climb the ladder if I’m able (True to myself) I can’t keep this shining light under the table, my love (True to myself) I wanna be, I gotta be true to myself, hey, hey… (True to myself)
