Don’t you know I know that you’re cowardly
'Cause you’re tryin’ but, you can’t break up with me
Tip my hat, yeah, I been there done that
Been a trophy, a trinket
Don’t say it, I know you think it
My bags are packed, one foot’s out the door

I can’t take it anymore
You say who cares?
You don’t have to, I’m bored
You say, as you keep holdin’ on
I know the signs
The neon is blindin’ my eyes
I’m already gone

Once your eyes grow dark and affection wanes
Life’s no longer full of flowers and candy canes
Tip my hat, yeah, I been there done that
Been a bird in a cage, gypped
But I ain’t had my wings clipped
So ripe and ready to soar

I can’t take it anymore
You say who cares?
You don’t have to, I’m bored
You say, as you keep holdin’ on
I know the signs
The neon is blindin’ my eyes
I’m already gone

Gone is the laughter we built our world upon
All those days are over and done
Your eyes, they speak, while your mouth, it lies
It’s not Halloween, take off your disguise

I can’t take it anymore
You say who cares?
You don’t have to, I’m bored
You say, as you keep holdin’ on
I know the signs
The neon is blindin’ my eyes
I’m already gone

Gone, gone
All I’ve ever wanted
Gone, gone
You keep holding on
Gone, whoa, already gone

Here I am, a girl who found her way
To make the daydream come to life
Never let the non-believers have their say
I can only see the light
And if I had to, I'd not do it over again
'Cause this is life and I'm gonna live it

If I believe I'm beautiful
Then you believe I'm beautiful
I decide what's real to me
I choose to see that
I know I am beautiful
Don't you know I'm beautiful
I am here to tell all the world
I'm a beautiful girl

Nothing you can say will shake my faith
Made up my mind and I'm not looking back
The final curtain for certain will come down someday
But not before I've had the chance to say I've made my entrance

I believe I'm beautiful
You believe I'm beautiful
I decide what's real to me
I choose to see that
I know I am beautiful
Don't you know I'm beautiful
I am here to tell all the world

That if I had two roads before me
One map and ignore me
It's destiny that I will seize the day
If I believe...
I believe

I choose to see that
I know I am beautiful
Don't you know I'm beautiful
I am here to tell all the world
I'm a beautiful girl

I'm a beautiful girl...

Well that phone doesn't ring when you want it to
And it isn't your dream on the line
It's just dad telling mom to have dinner without him
'Cause he won't be coming home on time

Well there's always that dance to escape to
But that doesn't always work out
You don't have a date; you're not going alone
Isn't it nice to know you can still come home?

Well you don't have a million friends to speak of
But a best one is all that you need - oh
Growing up so strong but you're not made of stone
Isn't it nice to come home?

In the real world you're not always welcome
And all's not forgive and forget
It's a cruel world without understanding
And little one it's not over yet

Well you never can trust a stranger
So you may as well give up this fight - oh
Your best friends are waiting in the living room
So go on and kiss them goodnight

All my life, I've had something to believe in
All the world will believe it, too

Lend me you ear, I'll bare my soul if you let me
That little old fear, kiss it goodbye
'Cause I want to fly just too much
Out of reach to the human touch
And I will try...
Yes, I will try...

If I'm going straight to the top
No time for feeling sorry
Heaven, last stop
Yeah try, but you won't stop me
I can survive
Yeah, seeing is believing
If I'm gonna fall
I'm gonna fall reaching
(Fall reaching)
Fall reaching
(Fall reaching)
I'm not gonna fall

Chances are this, chances are all I'll be taking 
Chances are that I'm gonna soar
'Cause every door that's been closed
Will open soon, yeah, I suppose
And I will fly...
Yes, I will fly...

If I'm going straight to the top
No time for feeling sorry
Heaven, last stop
Yeah try, but you won't stop me
I can survive
Yeah, seeing is believing
If I'm gonna fall
I'm gonna fall reaching
(Fall reaching)
Fall reaching
(Fall reaching)
I'm not gonna fall
Unless I fall reaching...
I'm not gonna fall

All my life I've had something to believe in

She moves with rock stars, baby
Sophisticated lady
Dance to the new Slim Shady
All night, all night

She moves with real team player(?)
This minute, it's L.A. flavor
So hip you love to hate her
Alright, alright

So she has
A little bling and a belly ring, so what?
She don't have
Enough dough to buy her any class
She's a flare
For the ridiculous and the dramatic
She can't act but
She can act up and that's a fact

The noise that you're makin'
We don't get what you're sayin'
It's so damn aggravating
Tell me
What are you famous for?
Give me a break
And take the money you're makin'
We're obsessed with your fakin'
Tell me
What are you famous for?

She's got that [?] book out
And every red carpet's rolled out
She thinks she's Gwen from No Doubt
But how, no doubt
You think it's kinda funny
When you got daddy's money
It flows like milk and honey
No doubt, but how

Backstage pass
Gettin' in cuz she gave it up last night
What you wear
A Gucci dress and a Prada bag
Look over here
One more turn to the left, yeah, that's right
Smile for the lens cuz
[?]

The noise that you're  makin'
We don't get what you're sayin'
It's so damn aggravating
Tell me
What are you famous for?
Give me a break
And take the money you're makin'
We're obsessed with your fakin'
Tell me
What are you famous for?

Yo, black
American Express
Cash forward like you're never in with Daddy
[Screw the?] bling bling
Truly money [ain't?] the thing
The hardest job you've ever did
We've all seen it on a screen
I can't take it no  more
When I turn it from HBO to NBC
I see the same chicks on the magazines
Circle celebrities that can't dance, can't act, can't sing  
But I bet they're spectacular when they're down on their knees

The noise that you're makin'
We don't get what you're sayin'
It's so damn aggravating
Tell me
What are you famous for?
Give me a break
And take the money you're makin'
We're obsessed with your fakin'
Tell me
What are you famous for?

No no no, no no no
No no no, no no no
No no no, no no no
No no no, no no no
No no no, no no no
No no no, no no no

With all the noise that you're makin'
We don't get what you're sayin'
It's so damn aggravating
Tell me
What are you famous for?
Give me a break
And take the money you're makin'
We're obsessed with your fakin'
Tell me
What are you famous for?

I may speak like I'm from Korea
I may look like I'm from Africa
I may have an Italian accent
But I come from America

I left my heart in San Francisco
I also went to Tampa Bay
I lost my money in Las Vegas
And laid in the sun all day

America is the place I love
The home of the free and brave
So hurry up and climb aboard
Get on the boat and wave goodbye forever

I did the hula in Hawaii
I went swimming in Peoria
Although I may have been to Spain and Portugal
I come from America

I may speak like I'm from Korea
I may look like I'm from Africa
I may have an Italian accent
But I come from America

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you

I feel it coming on again
Just like it did before
Then fill your mind with boredom
And they lead you off to war

The way we treat each other
Really makes me feel ill
And if you're gonna fight
Then you're just dying to get killed

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you

A box upon the media
And everything you read
They'll tell you your opinions
And they're very good indeed

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you

And when I have destroyed you
I'll come pickin' at your bones
(ooh)
And you won't have a single item
Left to call your own

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you
(do do do do do do)
(do do do do do do)
I wanna destroy you
(do do do do do do)
(do do do do do do)

Destroy you
Destroy you
Destroy you
Destroy you...

You used to say the passion was so deep
That it would never say goodbye
But I saw glimpses of unwillingness
Unwillingness to try

I will forever thank you for the truth
No matter what that truth may be
You say you don’t know why I dare to disagree

If I wanted to tell you
If you wanted to hear
If only you’d reach out for my hand
With a will to understand

And by the graces of our honesty
We didn’t let this thing go far
And we’re too thrown to let this destroy who we are

‘Cause if I wanted to tell you
If you wanted to hear
If only you’d reach out for my hand
With a will to understand

Everything I wanted
Was in the palm of your hand
We have nothing here
We will not try to understand

You used to say the passion was so deep
That it would never question why
Though it saw glimpses of unwillingness to try
This is goodbye

‘Cause if I wanted to tell you
If you wanted to hear
If only you’d reach out for my hand
With a will to understand

With a will to understand

In the still of the night
I held you, held you tight
'Cause I love, love you so
Promise you'll never let me go
In the still of the night

I remember that night in May
The stars were bright up above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep your precious love

Well before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night

Take it, Adam!

I remember that night in May
(I remember)
(I remember)
Oh, the stars were bright up above
(The stars were bright up above)
I'll hope, oh baby I'll pray
(I remember)
(I remember)
To keep your precious love
(To keep your precious love)

So before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night
(In the still of the night)
In the still of the night...

ooh ooh
In the still of the, the still of the
Night...
oh wo oh
ooh ooh
In the still of the night...

Peabo Bryson:
We always knew... that we were meant to be
Two hearts, so true... in love so totally
But we're living in two different worlds
Who never could agree
So they say our love is wrong
And that there's no place where we belong

Deborah Gibson:
Our hearts believe... that what we have is real
A love so free... we know the way we feel
But our worlds could not understand
So we hid our love away
But no matter what they say
We know our love will find a way...

Peabo Bryson and Deborah Gibson:
To shine... here in the light of the day...
And we'll say to the world... let us fly...
Let the wings of love take us away
Then forever and ever, we'll go on together

Deborah Gibson:
And never again will we hide

Peabo Bryson:
All of the feelings we're feeling inside

Peabo Bryson and Deborah Gibson:
We'll let the light of our love
Light the world

Peabo Bryson:
Two separate lives... that seemed so far apart

Deborah Gibson:
A love denied... that fills our waiting hearts

Peabo Bryson:
Locked away inside the dark of the night
In secret for so long

Deborah Gibson:
But if we can just be strong...
If we can just keep holding on...

Peabo Bryson and Deborah Gibson:
Stronger than time, your love and mine
Is a shining star
It's time to show, the world we know
Who we are...

Peabo Bryson and Deborah Gibson:
Shine
Here in the light of the day...
And we'll say to the world... let us fly...
Let the wings of love take us away
Baby now and forever, let's go on together

Deborah Gibson:
And never again will we hide

Peabo Bryson:
All of the love we

Peabo Bryson and Deborah Gibson:
Hold inside
We'll let the light of our love
Light the world

Make sure you know your classroom
Make sure you know your seat
I'll help you find your teacher
I hope she looks so sweet

Make sure you know your classroom
Make sure you know your seat
I'll help you find your teacher
Or you'll have to wait in the street

MAN IN THE MOON:
The man in the moon
Looked out of the moon
Looked out of the moon and said
"'Tis time for all children on the earth
To think about getting to bed"

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

THREE BLIND MICE:
Three blind mice
Three blind mice
See how they run
See how they run
They all ran after the farmer's wife
She cut off their tails with a carving knife
Did you ever see such a sight in your life as
Three blind mice

HUSH LITTLE BABY:
Hush little baby don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird
If the mocking bird won't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns to brass
Papa's gonna buy you a looking-glass
If the looking-glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat runs away
Papa's gonna buy you another today

I'm naked and lost but not from what I gave you
You can turn it all around -- won't you be naked, too?
My heart's on the floor and I see the door but I'm stuck here
Nothin' more to know -- it's not for sure, but for real

I'm naked -- I'm ready to turn the whole thing over
I'm awaiting permission -- oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm naked
And I can't conceal my love

Did you hear the news today, the world is ending
Why will you not turn and say what's on your mind?
Happily ever after, never ending
I can be your midnight dream, won't you be mine?
Oh

I'm naked -- I'm ready to turn the whole thing over
I'm awaiting permission -- oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm naked
And I can't conceal my love

I'm lying in a rainstorm -- things you thought you never wanted
I will embody all your secret passions, baby
I'm naked and open to believe
Oh

I'm wild and free
I am nothing but me
And it's all out there to be taken for granted
Oh, I would love to quit now
If my heart knew how to breathe
Without you
Oh, I'm naked

Hmmm I'm naked
Hmmm hmmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmm hmm hmm oh

I'm naked
I'm taking
That one old truth that leads you to
The goldmine, the rainbow
Feeling what you did it has to see
I am naked
Won't you be naked, too?
Oh

I'm laying in a rainstorm
Things you thought you never wanted
I will embody
All your secret passions, baby
I'm naked
And open to believe
Oh oh oh oh oh

I'm naked
I'm soulful
I'm naked
I'm candid
I'm naked
I love you
I'm naked
I want you, too
I'm naked

I'm naked
I'm things you thought you never wanted
Ohohohohoh
Oh

I'm naked
It's over
I'm lifting up the covers, baby
Woooo
All your secret passions, baby

I'm naked
(Yeah, yeah)
Oh oh ohoh ohohohoh
I'm naked

Standing alone in darkness
Beginning to think that nobody cares
So why, why must we play so many games
It hurts me so
So will you whisper to me in my dreams
Just tell me you'll stay and never leave
Then maybe I can lay my heart
Down to rest for now

Lonely face, I couldn't tell you why I let you
Walk right out of my life, oh
Lonely face, I feel the burning of all the pain
That seemed to be buried inside

Coz I'm standing alone in darkness
Beginning to think that nobody cares
So why, why must we play so many games
It hurts me so
So will you whisper to me in my dreams
Just tell me you'll stay and never leave
Then maybe I can lay my heart
Down to rest for now

Lonely face, I feel serene knowing
That my one true love is never around, oh
Lonely face, I'm in a world where
Suffering is all that remains, oh

Coz I'm standing alone in darkness
Beginning to think that nobody cares
So why, why must we play so many games
It hurts me so
So will you whisper to me in my dreams
Just tell me you'll stay and never leave
Then maybe I can lay my heart
Down to rest for now

Coz I'm standing alone in darkness
Beginning to think that nobody cares
So why, why must we play so many games
It hurts me so
So will you whisper to me in my dreams
Just tell me you'll stay and never leave
Then maybe I can lay my heart down to...

Keep it buried deep in my heart
Drifting further creeping toward the dark
So many feelings hidden deep inside me
It's so cold and I'm not feeling fine

Keep it buried deep in my heart
Drifting further creeping toward the dark
So many feelings hidden deep inside me
It's so cold and I'm not feeling fine

Disappearing deep into my heart
Crazy thought will never be apart
Walking slowly in a new direction
Hoping to find my true love over again

Disappearing deep into my heart
Crazy thought will never be apart
Walking slowly in a new direction
Hoping to find my true love over again...

You're a rich girl, but you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man, honey
It's a bitch, girl, but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
(Rich, rich girl, yeah)
Said money, money, won't get you too far
Get you too far

Don't you know?
Don't you know that it's wrong
To take what he's given you
So far gone on your own
But you could get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong

'Cause you're a rich girl, but you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
(Rich, rich girl, yeah)
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man, honey
It's a bitch, girl, but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Said money, money, won't get you too far
Get you too far

High and dry out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that love can grow?
But it's too much to give
'Cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
(Rich, rich girl, yeah)
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man, honey
It's a bitch, girl, but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
(Rich, rich girl, yeah)
Said money, money, won't get you too far
Said money, money, won't get you too far
Said money, money, won't get you too far
Get you too far

And you say you can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man, honey, honey
You can rely, but it won't get you too far
Get you too far

And you say you can rely, but it won't get you too far
Get you too far

Money, money
Money, honey

Hmmm hmmm hmmm...

How magical our magic is
The music that is you and I
How perfectly we fit, oh the wonder of it
All the castles in the sky

If I would have asked
"Can you take me to heaven?"
I'd have ended up here in your eyes
It's no wonder that each day you're mine
I find that

You're right on time
My answered prayer
My valentine
Year-round you're there
My perfect fit
Like hand in glove
You're right on time
So right, my love

hmmm hmmm hmmm...

I wondered, does heaven exist?
Will I ever find the stuff of dreams?
Then miraculously I was kissed
By a prince, no a king it seems

And who would have known
When I entered this world
Cold and crying in mother's arms
That I'd fly from the nest right into your charms

oh...

You're right on time
My answered prayer
My valentine
Year-round you're there
A perfect fit
Like hand in glove
You're right on time
So right, my love

And everything before this was dress rehearsal
Leading to this opening night
The band is in place
And the smile on your face
Fills my heart with love and light

ooh...

You're right on time
My answered prayer
My valentine
Year-round you're there
A perfect match
Like hand in glove
You're right on time
So right, my love

ooh ooh ooh...

So right, my love

Rock 'n roll baby doll
That's what I'll always be
Ponytails and bobbysocks
A poodle on my knee

Satin shoes, slicked back hair
Stay always in my heart
Rock 'n roll baby doll
I thought we'd never part

shoo be doo wop, shoo be doo wop
(ooh...)
shoo be doo wop, shoo be doo wop
(woah woah)
(ooh...)
shoo be doo wop, shoo be doo wop
(ooh...)
shoo be doo wop
ai, ai, ai, ai

shoo be doo wop, shoo be doo wop
shoo be doo wop, shoo be doo wop...

Jordan Knight:
I've been so lost lately
I don't really understand, baby
Where did I go wrong?
I want to talk to you, please call

Deborah Gibson:
Where do I begin with you
After all that we've been through?
I don't think it would be right if we
Got together so suddenly

Jordan Knight:
I wish that I could take back
All of the things that I said
And replace them with simply
"I love you" instead

Deborah Gibson:
You didn't want to say goodbye
But you never really seemed
Like you want to try

Jordan Knight:
But I really wanted you
To stay and then
I let you just slip away

Deborah Gibson:
If you didn't listen to your heart inside
Then it really doesn't matter
What was on your mind
And if you need me then tell me why

Jordan Knight:
Girl, I never meant to say goodbye

Jordan Knight:
I think about the past, baby
Why we couldn't make it last, lady
I know you still have doubts
But I'm gonna prove that we can work things out

Deborah Gibson:
I wanna be sure that you
Know what you put me through and
Really feel that you intend
To never let me down again

Jordan Knight:
It's clear to me and I can't ignore
That I have to give you something that I couldn't before

Deborah Gibson:
You didn't want to say goodbye
But you never really seemed
Like you want to try

Jordan Knight:
But I really wanted you
To stay and then
I let you just slip away

Deborah Gibson:
If you didn't listen to your heart inside
Then it really doesn't matter
What was on your mind
And if you need me then tell me why

Jordan Knight:
Girl, I never meant to say goodbye

Deborah Gibson:
I didn't think that we would come to this

Jordan Knight:
Your eyes, your face, your smile is what I miss

Deborah Gibson:
Why'd you wait so long to take me back?

Jordan Knight and Deborah Gibson:
It's all a simple misunderstanding

Deborah Gibson:
You didn't want to say goodbye
But you never really seemed
Like you want to try

Jordan Knight:
But I really wanted you
To stay and then
I let you just slip away

Deborah Gibson:
If you didn't listen to your heart inside
Then it really doesn't matter
What was on your mind
And if you need me then tell me why

Deborah Gibson:
You didn't want to say goodbye
But you never really seemed
Like you want to try

Jordan Knight:
But I really wanted you
To stay and then
I let you just slip away

Deborah Gibson:
If you didn't listen to your heart inside
Then it really doesn't matter
What was on your mind
And if you need me then tell me why

Jordan Knight:
Girl, I never meant to say goodbye

Chris Cuevas:
Girl, you know
That you are always on my mind
And you know
That I will be there
Right by your side...

Chris Cuevas:
Someday, we'll be together
And share this love forever
Someday we'll be together
And share this love forever

Debbie Gibson:
It's no fun
Living love in your mind
And it's just plain too late
When you're just plain out of time
I think, I wish, I hope, I pray
So now I'm gonna make it my reality
Someday
(oh)

Chris Cuevas and Debbie Gibson:
Someday, we'll be together
And share this love forever
Someday we'll be together
And share this love forever
(Oh, girl)

Chris Cuevas and Debbie Gibson:
ooh...
wo wo wo
wo wo wo
(wo)
yeah!
(Someday)

Chris Cuevas and Debbie Gibson:
Someday, we'll be together
And share this love forever
Someday we'll be together
And share this love forever

Chris Cuevas and Debbie Gibson:
Someday, we'll be together
(We'll be together)
And share this love forever
(Together)
Someday we'll be together
And share this love forever

Sometimes I am in the wrong
I go where I do not belong
Believe me... I know my faults
I force my will, I walk on coals
I prey on unsuspecting souls
We all do... somersaults
Then, we land on solid ground
And turn it all around
The first chance we get to make a brand new start
But everything I do, I do with all my heart

Sometimes I will not look down
I trip and fall and scrape the ground
'Cause I thought I knew it all
But, every twist and every turn
And every time I live and learn
It comes down to that fall
'Cause the pain was mine all mine
And nothing human or divine
Could make me put that horse before that cart
Backwards, upside down
But, with all my heart

There is one you
There is one me
One go 'round, one short life... use it wisely
Sink or fly but, fall grasping for stars
'Cause the thing about our hearts... they're uniquely ours

Once upon a time when I could
Stop the world right on a dime
I never analyzed
I fell straight into passions throes
I struggled... heaven only knows
But, open were my eyes
To all I could not see
I believed it all could be
So I went there not picking it apart
I saw it whole and with my soul
And yes - with all my heart

Some things in life won't matter
Like if you climb the ladder or not
But sit back... relax...
If you've tried with all your heart

oh oh
ooh ooh ooh

Here's what I wanna say
But I can't say it face to face
So I'll write it, hope it makes it way to the radio waves
Here's what I wanna do
Nothin' less than kidnap you
Take you away to a far off place, leave for love
Face it!

You belong to me
(ooh)
You should be here now
(ooh)
It's just the way that it should be - oh oh
Leave your past behind
Your future is with mine
I see what you can't see
You belong to me

oh!

Crazy scheme in my head
Going stark raving mad
Open my eyes to realize that I was feeling it bad
But it's more than a physical thing
I hear the bluebirds sing
Whether near or far, it's who you are
That's got me on this string

You belong to me
You should be here now
It's just the way that it should be - oh oh
Leave your past behind
Your future is with mine
I see what you can't see
You belong to me

Try to talk it down, I know better
Cannot take away from the truth
But believe in nothin', baby
Like I believe in me and you

oh oh
hmm hmm hmm

Leave your past behind
Your future is with mine
I see what you can't see
You belong to me
(ooh!)

You belong to me
(ooh ooh)
You should be here now
(ooh)
It's just the way that it should be - oh oh
(It's just the way that it should be!)
(oh oh)
Leave your past behind
Your future is with mine
(oh)
I see what you can't see
You belong to me

I'm a DJ at the Zoo
Time is going by so fast
Playing my favorite tunes
And having a blast

Sitting here with Scott and Ross
Clair and John, what do you think about that?
I never went to the prom
With Magic Matt

Scott gave me just three minutes
To write this silly song
They thought I could do it
But you see they were wrong

So this is a wimpy cop-out
But it will have to do
Cause it's something you'd expect
From the Z-Morning Zoo
