say something (with a great big world)

say something, i’m giving up on you
i’ll be the one, if you want me to
anywhere i would’ve followed you
say something, i’m giving up on you

and i am feeling so small
it was over my head
i know nothing at all

and i will stumble and fall
i’m still learning to love
just starting to crawl

say something, i’m giving up on you
i’m sorry that i couldn’t get to you
anywhere i would’ve followed you
say something, i’m giving up on you

and i will swallow my pride
you’re the one that i love
and i’m saying goodbye

say something, i’m giving up on you
and i’m sorry that i couldn’t get to you
and anywhere i would’ve followed you
say something, i’m giving up on you

say something, i’m giving up on you
say something…

hoy tengo ganas de ti (with alejandro fernandez)

[alejandro]
fuiste ave de paso y no sé porqué razón
me fui acostumbrando cada día mas a ti
los dos inventamos la aventura del amor
llenaste mi vida, y después te vi partir
sin decirme adiós yo te vi partir

quiero en tus manos abiertas buscar mi camino
y que te sientas mujer solamente conmigo
hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti.
quiero apagar en tus labios la sed de mi alma
y descubrir el amor juntos cada mañana
hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti.

[christina]
no hay nada mas triste que el silencio y el dolor
nada mas amargo que saber que te perdí
hoy busco en la noche el sonido de tu voz
y donde te escondes para llenarte de mí
llenarme de tí, llenarme de tí

[christina/alejandro]
quiero en tus manos abiertas buscar mi camino
y que te sientas mujer solamente conmigo
hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti.
quiero apagar en tus labios la sed de mi alma
y descubrir el amor juntos cada mañana
hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti.

[christina/alejandro]
quiero en tus manos abiertas buscar mi camino
y que te sientas mujer solamente conmigo
hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti.
quiero apagar en tus labios la sed de mi alma
y descubrir el amor juntos cada mañana
hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti.

moves like jagger (with maroon 5)

just shoot for the stars
if it feels right
then aim for my heart
if you feel like
can take me away, and make it okay
i swear i’ll behave

you wanted control
sure we waited
i put on a show
now i make it
you say i’m a kid
my ego is big
i don’t give a sh*t
and it goes like this

take me by the tongue
and i’ll know you
kiss til you’re drunk
and i’ll show you

you want the moves like jagger
i got the moves like jagger
i got the moooves… like jagger

i won’t even try to control you
look into my eyes and i’ll own you
you with the moves like jagger
i got the moves like jagger
i got the moooves… like jagger

baby it’s hard
and it feel like you’re broken in scar
nothing feels right
but when you’re with me
i make you believe
that i’ve got the key

so get in the car
we can ride it
wherever you want
get inside it
and you want to stir
but i’m shifting gears
i’ll take it from here
and it goes like this

take me by the tongue
and i’ll know you
kiss til you’re drunk
and i’ll show you
you want the moves like jagger
i got the moves like jagger
i got the moooves… like jagger

i won’t even try to control you
look into my eyes and i’ll own you
you with the moves like jagger
i got the moves like jagger
i got the moooves… like jagger

you want to know how to make me smile
take control, own me just for the night
but if i share my secret
you gonna have to keep it
nobody else can see this

so watch and learn
i won’t show you twice
head to toe, ooh baby, roll me right
but if i share my secret
you gonna have to keep it
nobody else can see this
and it goes like this

take me by the tongue
and i’ll know you
kiss til you’re drunk
and i’ll show you
you want the moves like jagger
i got the moves like jagger
i got the moooves… like jagger

i won’t even try to control you
look into my eyes and i’ll own you
you with the moves like jagger
i got the moves like jagger
i got the moooves… like jagger

bennie and the jets (live with elton john)

hey kids, shake it loose together
the spotlight’s hitting something
that’s been known to change the weather
we’ll kill the fatted calf tonight
so stick around
you’re gonna hear electric music
solid walls of sound

say, candy and ronnie, have you seen them yet
but they’re so spaced out, b-b-b-bennie and the jets
oh but they’re weird and they’re wonderful
oh bennie she’s really keen
she’s got electric boots a mohair suit
you know i read it in a magazine
bennie and the jets

hey kids, plug into the faithless
maybe they’re blinded
but bennie makes them ageless
we shall survive, let us take ourselves along
where we fight our parents out in the streets
to find who’s right and who’s wrong

oh, candy and ronnie have you seen them yet christina
oh, they’re so spaced out, bennie and the jets
oh, but they’re weird and they’re wonderful
oh, bennie she’s really keen
she’s got electric boots, a mohair suit
you know i read it in a magazine, oh, bennie and the jets

oh, candy and ronnie have you seen them yet
i said oh, but they’re so spaced out, bennie and the jets
oh, but they’re weird and they’re wonderful
i said oh, bennie she’s so keen
she’s got electric boots, a mohair suit
you know i read it in a magazine, oh, bennie and the jets
ohhh

bennie bennie and the jets
bennie, bennie, bennie, bennie and the jets
bennie, bennie, bennie, bennie, bennie and the jets

bennie, bennie, bennie, bennie and the jets
bennie, bennie, bennie, bennie and the jets
bennie, bennie, bennie, bennie and the jets

live with me (live with rolling stones)

i got nasty habits, i take tea at three
the meat i eat for dinner must be hung up for a week
my best friend, he shoots water rats and feeds them to his geese
don’t you think there’s a place for you in between the sheets?

come on now, baby
we can build a home for three
come on now, baby
don’t you wanna live with me?

a score of harebrained children they’re locked in the nursery
they got earphone heads they got dirty necks they’re so 20th century
they queue up for the bathroom ’round about 7:35
don’t you think we need a woman’s touch to make it come alive?

you’d look good pram
pushing down the high street
come on now, honey
don’t you wanna live with me?

the servants they’re so helpless now, the cook she is a whore
the butler has a place for her behind the pantry door
the maid, she’s french, she’s got no sense, she’s found a crazy horse
and when she strips, the chauffeur flips, the footman’s eyes get crossed

and don’t you think there’s a place for us
right across the street
don’t you think there’s a place for you
in between the sheets?

yeah, come on now, baby
we can build a home for three
come on now, baby
don’t you wanna live with me?

castle walls (with t.i.)

[christina aguilera]
everyone thinks that i have it all
but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
these castle walls
if i should tumble if i should fall
would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls

[t.i.]
observing the estate through the gate from the outside looking in
bet you would think i got it made, better look again
i got a butler, got a maid, and a mansion
the belief is that i’m living out a millionaires fantasy
with phantoms and ferrari’s in the driveway
but you see it came in exchange of the same man’s sanity
your vision jaded by the grammy’s on the mantelpiece
just switch your camera lenses you would see the agony
apparently it’s damaging the man you see before you
on the canvas he may seem alright but all the disadvantages his family
encounters overpowers his extravagance
walk in my nines awhile i dare you
while it really seems like the kings life ain’t glamorous
as seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs
because the camera’s doesn’t see beyond the walls of the smiles
only counts until it falls in the pile

[christina aguilera]
everyone thinks that i have it all
but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
these castle walls
if i should tumble if i should fall
would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls

[t.i.]
honestly to me, i think i’d lose every benefit of all that i’ve accomplished
if my kids never win at shit
me knowing this, why should the verses i have laid
be more important to me than the persons i have raised
i guess i’m saying that to say that opportunity
but they just don’t equate to all the time they take away
from the kids all the shit i did right is a mistake
if deyjah end up a stripper and major slinging yay
how could i ever consider myself a great
if messiah ain’t paid and nique nique ain’t straight
would your favorite song about the whips, money and shit
be relevant if you found out, the money wasn’t real, nope
so me being the goat shouldn’t mean more to me
than see it to a king though
from a bad ass kid to man with some dough
otherwise i may well have stayed poor
so while they stay focused on me beefin with flip,
shawty low, gucci or ludacris
or if i’m fucking with a hoe
did i snitch when i got arrested or will i die over nonsense
internally i’m dealing with this conflict
so excuse me if i don’t get the chance to kiss the hand
or slap me in the face, ay i, m just the man
if they saying i ain’t the best at making hit records
it’s cause this my life these ain’t just rapping
shit, you think of that deep, did ya dawg
see you can’t see the castle through the walls till it falls
bitch ain’t thinking with the deep, did ya dog
cause see you can’t see the castle through the walls till it falls

[christina aguilera]
everyone thinks that i have it all
but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
these castle walls
if i should tumble if i should fall
would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls

nobody knows i’m all alone
living in this castle made of stone
they say that money is freedom but i feel trapped inside it all
and while i sit so high up on a throne
i wonder how i can feel this low
on top of the world it’s beautiful
but there’s no place to fall

[t.i.]
for the record ay, i give a damn if i never said shit again
my career was meant for me to come and tell it
honest interpretation of how affected i’m faced with
matters most rappers used to keep locked away in the basement
the day that i walk i ain’t saying that i’m amazing
down playing the way i keep fellas from catching cases
won’t take into consideration how much it mean what i’m saying
and when i say what i mean even when i’m surrounded by the fakers
from one of the greatest centers, blessed with most of god’s graces
who made his way amongst the greatest from the grimiest places
so next time you rating royalty, i’m always being given to recordings than the level
of your loyalty, obvious you’ve been ignoring me
who else ya seen make it through the storm, unharmed disjointed
while all the critics was looking for prince charming
disregarded the king of the south raised doubt
even though he made a castle out of used to be a house
he did shit that all your favorites rappers only rap about
but most of y’all don’t see the castle through the walls
and the smiles till it falls in piles so while…

[christina aguilera]
everyone thinks that i have it all
but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
these castle walls
if i should tumble if i should fall
would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls

and do everything that i told you

a song for you (with herbie hancock)

i’ve been so many places in my life and time
i’ve sung a lot of songs, made some bad rhymes
i’ve acted out my life in stages
with ten thousand people watching
but we’re alone now
and i’m singing this song for you

i know your image of me is what i hope to be
i treated you unkindly, darling can’t you see
there’s no one more important to me
darling can’t you see through me
’cause we’re alone now
and i’m singing this song for you

you taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
you came out in front and i was hiding, oh, oh, ooh yeah
but now i’m so much better,
and if my words don’t come together
listen to the melody ’cause my love is in there hiding
ooh ooh oh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa, ooh, yeah

i love you in a place where there’s no space or time
i love you for my life ’cause you’re a friend of mine
and when my life is over
remember when we were together, together
when we were alone and i was singing this song for you, ohh, ooh
oooh, yeah

oh i, oh i,
love you in a place
where there’s no world, space or time
and i love you, i love you, love you for my life
’cause you are a friend of mine
when my life, when my life is over
remember when we were together baby
we were alone and i was singing this song for you

ooh, we were alone now, and i was singing this song for you
sang, said we were alone and i was singing this song, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
singing this song, for you, ooh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
ooh, yeah yeah, ooh ooh, ooh yeah
singing this song, singing this song, singing this song, ooh, yeah

baby, it’s cold outside (with cee lo green)

i really can’t stay – baby, it’s cold outside
i’ve got to go away – baby, it’s cold out there
this evening has been – been hoping that you’d drop in
so very nice – i’ll hold your hands, they’re just like ice
my mother will start to worry – beautiful, what’s your hurry?
and father will be pacing the floor – listen to that fireplace roar
so really i’d better scurry – beautiful, please don’t hurry
well maybe just a half a drink more – put some records on while i pour

the neighbors might think – baby, it’s bad out there
say, what’s in this drink? – no cabs to be had out there
i wish i knew how – your eyes are like starlight
to break the spell – i’ll take your hat, your hair looks swell
i ought to say no, no, no, sir – mind if i move in closer?
at least i’m gonna say that i tried – what’s the sense in hurting my pride?
i really can’t stay – baby don’t hold out
oh, baby it’s cold outside

i simply must go – baby, it’s cold outside
the answer is no – i said it’s cold out there
this welcome has been – how lucky that you dropped in
so nice and warm – look out the window at that storm
my sister will be suspicious – gosh, your lips look delicious
my brother will be there at the door – waves upon a tropical storm
my maiden aunt’s mind is vicious – oh, your lips are delicious
maybe just a cigarette more – never such a blizzard before

i’ve got to go home – baby, you’ll freeze alive
say, lend me your coat – i mean it’s up to your knees out there
you’ve really been grand – i’m thrilled when you touch my hand
but don’t you see – how can you do this thing to me?
there’s bound to be talk tomorrow – think of my life long sorrow
at least there will be plenty implied – if you caught pneumonia and died
i really can’t stay – get over that hold out
ohhh, baby it’s cold outside

all i wanna do (with keizo nakanishi)

all i wanna do everyday and night
is love you forever
wanna wrap my arms around you
all i wanna do is to hold you tight
hold you forever, never never let you go

you, you are the only one i dream about
and you, you got the love i just can’t be without
you know i think about you everyday, on the real
when you walk by my poor heart it skips a beat

i look in your eyes and can’t even speak
you take my breath away
all i wanna do everyday and night

wanna wrap my arms around you
all i wanna do is to hold you tight

blower’s daughter (with chris mann)

and so it is
just like you said it would be
life goes easy on me
most of the time
and so it is
the shorter story
no love, no glory
no hero in her sky

i can’t take my eyes off of you
i can’t take my eyes off you
i can’t take my eyes off of you
i can’t take my eyes off you
i can’t take my eyes off you
i can’t take my eyes…

and so it is
just like you said it should be
we’ll both forget the breeze
most of the time
and so it is
the colder water
the blower’s daughter
the pupil in denial

i can’t take my eyes off of you
i can’t take my eyes off you
i can’t take my eyes off of you
i can’t take my eyes off you
i can’t take my eyes off you
i can’t take my eyes…

did i say that i loathe you?
did i say that i want to
leave it all behind?

i can’t take my mind off of you
i can’t take my mind off you
i can’t take my mind off of you
i can’t take my mind off you
i can’t take my mind off you
i can’t take my mind…
my mind… my mind…
off you
