I may run and hide
When you're screamin' my name, alright
But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
All of our time spent in flashes of light
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life
Looking at the crowd
And I see your body sway, c'mon
Wishin' I could thank you in a different way, c'mon
'Cause all of your time spent keeps us alive
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life

You are, my fire,
The one, desire,
Believe, when I say,
I want it that way
But we, are two worlds apart,
Can't reach to, your heart,
When you say,
That I want it that way
Tell me why, (Ain't nothin' but a heartache)
Tell me why, (Ain't nothin' but a mistake)
Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Am I, your fire,
Your one, desire,
Yes I know, it's too late,
But I want it that way
Tell me why, (Ain't nothin' but a heartache)
Tell me why, (Ain't nothin' but a mistake)
Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Now I can see that we're fallin' apart,
From the way that it used to be, (Yeah)
No matter the distance,
I want you to know,
That deep down inside of me...
You are, my fire,
The one, desire,
You are, You are, You are, You are...
Don't wanna hear you say,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
I never wanna hear you say,
I want it that way
Tell me why, (Ain't nothin' but a heartache)
Tell me why, (Ain't nothin' but a mistake)
Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,I never wanna hear you say
(Don't wanna hear you say it)
I want it that way
I want it that way

So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see, in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me in the
Night of light, so soon become
Wild and free, I could feel the sun
Your every wish, will be done
They tell me
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in the heart
Life goes on and never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in the heart
There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel
The things you never show
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in the heart

Open up your heart to me
And say what's on your mind, oh yes
I know that we have been through so much pain
But I still need you in my life, this time and
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I really need you tonight
I figured out what to say to you
Sometimes the words they, come out so wrong (oh yes they do)
I know in time that you will understand
That what we have is so right, this time and
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
All those endless times we tried
To make it Last forever more
And Baby I know
I Need You
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I really need you, oh
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I need you tonight
I need you, oh I need you baby
I need you right now
It's gotta be this, it's gotta be this
I know deep within my heart
No, it doesn't matter if it's wrong or it's right
All I know is baby
I really need you tonight

You hit me faster than a shark attack
You saw my picture
On the Backstreet's Back, alright
And you were more than just a pretty face
But how you fooled me, I'm still amazed baby
But I should have known that I would be
Another victim of your sexuality
But now we're done and over with
I don't want you back
Don't want you back
'Cause you're no good for me
I know
That's all I can say
Don't want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I don't want you back
You started going out with so-called friends
But I was blind and so I lost all common sense
But there were things that made me realize
Like all the hundred no, thousand lies
Don't want you back
'Cause you're no good for me
I know
That's all I can say
Don't want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I don't want you back
Baby, don't bother telling me your reasons why
Just let us sing this story 'bout you and I
Don't want you back
That's all I know
Don't want you back
All I can say
Don't want you back
You know you gotta go
Don't want you back
'Cause you're no good for me
I know
That's all I can say
Don't want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I don't want you back
written by Max Martin
I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you, baby
Girl if only I knew what I've done
You know, so why don't you tell me
And I, I would bring down the moon and the sun
To show how much I care
Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No no, or ever again
I've got this feeling you're not gonna stay
It's burning within me
The fear of losing
Of slipping away
It just keeps getting closer, baby
Whatever reason to leave that I,ve had
My place was always beside you
And I wish that I didn't need you so bad
Your face just won't go away
Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No no, or ever again
I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you
Don't want to lose to loneliness
Girl I know we can win
Don't want to lose to emptiness, oh no
Never again
Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No no, or ever again

THE ONE
I'll be the one...
I guess you were lost, when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust, and I knew
No more the mysteries and lies
There you are, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand, to make it right
I am holding you all through the night
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one
To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright
'Cause my faith is gone
And I want to take you from darkness to light
There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand, to make it right
I am holding you all through the night
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one
You need me like I need you
We can share our dreams, comin' true
I can show you what true love means
Just take my hand, baby please
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it all right
I'll be the one
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright
I'll be the one

It's not that I can't live without you
It's just that I don't even want to try
Every night I dream about you
Ever since the day we said goodbye
If I wasn't such a fool
Right now I'd be holding you
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do
Baby if I only knew
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
written by Kevin Richardson/Gary Baker/Jason Blume
Here we are in the arms of one another
When I look into your Spanish eyes
It's a place I've never been
Let it be if we're nothing more than dreamers
When I look into your Spanish eyes
It's a place I've never been
I loved you from a distance
It's a place I've never been
written by Andrew Fromm/Sandy Linzer
When we turn out the lights
'Cause no one else will ever take your place
No one else comes close to you
And when I wake up to
And I always will, 'cause in my eyes
No one else comes close to you

I don't know how it got so crazy
But I'll do anything to set things right
'Cause your love is so amazing
Baby you're the best thing in my life
Let me prove my love is real
If only you would tell me girl
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
Give me one more chance, to give my love to you
'Cause no one on this earth loves you like I do,
tell me
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
I turn back time
To make you mine
And find a way back to your heart
I beg and plead
Fall to my knees
To find a way back to your heart
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
SPANISH EYES
And we still go on searching for each other
Knowing that hate is wrong and love is
Right for us tonight
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes
Who believe that we see no wall between us
How can they be in my heart and in my mind,
when all I could find
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes
Thought I couldn't reach that far
I can't believe how close that we are
When I look into your Spanish eyes
And the world is so beautiful tonight
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes
NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE
The two of us alone together
Something's just not right
But girl you know that I would never
Ever let another's touch, come between
Yhe two of us
No one makes me feel the way you do
You're so special girl to me
And you'll always be eternally
Every time I hold you near
You always say the words I love to hear
Girl with just a touch you can do so much
No one else comes close
The touch of your head on my shoulder
You're my dream come true, oh yeah
Girl you know I'll always treasure
Every kiss and everyday I'll love you girl in
Every way
No one makes me feel the way you do
You're so special girl to me
And you'll always be eternally
Every time I hold you near
You always say the words I love to hear
Girl with just a touch you can do so much
No one else comes close
THE PERFECT FAN
It's not the big things, but the little things
That can mean enough
A lot of prayers to get me through
And there is never a day that passes by
I don't think of you
You were always there for me
Pushing me and guiding me
Always to succeed
When I was young, just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
'Cause Mom you always were
The perfect fan
Blessing me with a family
Who did all they could
And I've had many years of grace
And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face
I wanna thank you for what you've done
In hopes I can give back to you
And be the perfect son
When I was young, just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
'Cause Mom you always were
The perfect fan
You showed me how to care
And you showed me that you would
Always be there
I wanna thank you for that time
And I'm proud to say you're mine
When I was young, just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
'Cause Mom you always were
The perfect fan
Mom you always were
Mom you always were,
You know you always were
'Cause Mom you always were...the perfect fan
