Atakama - Колыбельная

Баю-баюшки баю,
Не ложися на края
Придёт серенький волчок
И укусит за бочок

Спать х8

Слушай, я расскажу тебе сказку
Смотри, я открываю книгу
Вижу как ты глядишь с опаской
Сейчас захлебнёшься криком.
Буквы на этих страницах живые,
Куклы на этих картинках мёртвы.
Провалы глазниц пустые,
Слова на устах чёрствы.
Не отворачивайся, смотри..
Ты же этого хочешь..
Слёзы свои с лица сотри.
Просто спокойной ночи.

Спать х8

Переворачиваются страницы,
Сказка моя продолжается.
У боли нет границы,
Тебе уже это нравится.
Больше не плачешь, и не дрожишь,
Больше не удивляешься.
Смотришь в картинки и молчишь
Скоро совсем в них провалишься.
Ты теперь кукла в чужих руках.
Пустые твои очи.
И уже не на что тут смотреть.
Просто спокойной ночи..

Спать х8

Баю-баюшки баю,
Не ложися на края
Придёт серенький волчок
И укусит за бочок

Atakama - Холодное сердце

Холодное сердце, а как же иначе
Снаружи просто камень, но внутри оно плачет.
Удача отвернулась, вместо неё теперь другая.
То что, мечтал, тупо забываю.
Что сожалею, поспорю, пожалуй.
В этот раз, наверное, я обошелся кровью малой.
Хлопнула дверь, рассыпая остатки пыли.
Пламя погасло, и мы вместе с ним остыли.
Сердце – камень, сердце…
И мы вместе с ним остыли!
Сердце – камень, сердце…
Боль в голове, память в осколках.
Привести себя в порядок, как старые книги на полках.
Слабые попытки последнего слова
Все что сказано, снова повторять бестолково
Были вопросы, к чему – не понятно
Обычное дело, но выходит так не приятно
Бессонница должна быть вроде,
Она проходит, она всего лишь проходит
Всего лишь проходит…
Она всего лишь проходит!
Сердце – камень, сердце… (2р.)
Сердце…
В моих мыслях твой портрет исчезает.
Ухожу я снова в путь, километры не считая,
Холодное сердце, а как же иначе,
Снаружи просто камень и внутри тоже камень, значит.
Сердце – камень, сердце…
И внутри тоже камень, значит!
Сердце – камень, сердце… (3р.)
Сердце(5р.)… камень…
В моих мыслях твой портрет исчезает,
Ухожу я снова в путь, километры не считая.
Холодное сердце, а как же иначе,
Снаружи просто камень, и внутри тоже камень значит…

Atakama - Теряя Себя

Так мало времени что бы жить
Так много шансов умирать
Смотреть в окно, ее любить
Взрываться пеплом

Прогорать сном в океане рассвета
Убивать злом последние капли дождя
Унося на руках первые звезды лета
Уходя в пустоту навсегда здесь теряя себя

Я так улыбалась но так беспощадно
Смотрелось на старом портрете лицо
Соленая кровь воспоминаний
Безжизненно падала в землю свинцом

Навсегда теряя себя

Atakama - Кому ты хочешь верить

Кто ты? Кому ты хочешь верить?
Подбери слова, разбивающие двери.
Разносящие разум, в мелкие клочья.
Теперь ты веришь в себя. Не бойся.

Шире, улыбайся. Они в твоей власти.

Тысячи душ, слов, рук, части
Жизней, тобой за них прожитых.
Кому Теперь ты веришь?…

Кто твой Бог? Кто твой враг?
В чем твой долг? Где твой ад?
__

Сколько стоило сил что бы не упасть?
Сколько раз ты чувствовал власть?
___

Где твой взгляд? В чем твой страх?
Я твой яд! Здесь твой крах!

Сколь боли прошло сквозь тебя?
Сколько жизней прожил ты скорбя?

Кто ты?….Кому ты хочешь верить?
Кто ты?… Кому ты хочешь верить?
Кто ты?… Кому ты хочешь верить?
Кто ты? …Кому ты хочешь верить?

Кто ты? Кому ты хочешь верить?
Подбери слова, разбивающие двери.
Разносящие разум, в мелкие клочья.
Теперь ты веришь в себя. Не бойся.

Шире, улыбайся. Они в твоей власти.
Тысячи душ, слов, рук, части
Жизней, тобой за них прожитых.
Кому Теперь ты веришь?…
Кто ты?
Кто я?
Кому…?

Шире, улыбайся. Они в твоей власти.
Тысячи душ, слов, рук, части
Жизней, тобой за них прожитых.
Кому Теперь ты веришь?…

Atakama - Чувство сна

Определяя жизнь
Погрешности на чувство сна
Перегреваешь нервы
Расплавленный металл
Внутри тебя
Снижается четкость,
Того, что ты видишь.
Оглянись назад
Правишь свой
Мозг кислотой
Приближаешь боль(2р.)
Отчетливо видишь
Чужие души.
Загляни в себя
Ты выжигаешь свои мысли.
Словом, остановись, пускай
Убийство саморазрушается
Перегреваешь нервы.
Оглянись назад!
Приближает шаг
Ты вдыхаешь яд
Ты теперь свой брат
Приближает шаг
В свои вены яд
Твоей жизни мат
Приближает шаг
Ты вдыхаешь яд
Ты теперь свой брат
Приближает шаг
В свои вены яд
Твоей жизни мат
Посмотри
Небо смотрит на тебя с высоты
Изнутри
Вырывается крик пустоты
Ты один
Среди скованных вечностью лиц
Улетай
Белой вспышкой среди черных стай
Давай, Давай, Давай, Улетай, Давай(3р.

Atakama - Ты

Рвется сердце
Рвется к стенам зеркал
Чужими глазами
Видел то, что хотел
Видел отблески рая
Красной каплей любви
В глупой пене надежды
Ты один на один убивал мою нежность
Ты разорвал на куски мою душу
Ты заставил меня умирать
Ты, смотри мне в глаза и слушай,
Тебе ни за что меня не сломать.
Ты молча смотрел, когда я умирала,
Ты ждал, когда я закрою глаза.
Тогда я еще не понимала,
Что тебе доверять нельзя
Нельзя Нельзя Нельзя
Рвется сердце(4р.)
Твоя лицемерная злая ухмылка
Пронзает меня насквозь, как игла,
И так, как любят страстно и пылко
Уничтожаешь взглядом меня.
Смотри мне в глаза и слушай
Тебе ни за что меня не сломать
Внутри меня боль, жестокость снаружи
И теперь уже поздно что-то менять
Поздно что-то менять
Поздно ЧТО-ТО МЕНЯТЬ
Рвется сердце(4р.)
Здесь рвется сердце(8р.)

Atakama - Тихо

Тииихххааа!!!…

Тихо… тихо… дышишь тихо, смотришь в небо, исчезаешь, улетаешь навсегда.

Припев:

Тихо дышишь, слушая ритм одиночества двух сердец, улетаешь… криком скупым… в небеса.

Ты хочешь узнать что внутри?
Какое сердце давай посмотри!
Возможно оно и правда железное,
Оно ненавидит, оно бесполезное.

Припев

Тяжелое сердце, свинцовый кусок,
Вместо крови течет электрический ток,
Не чувствует боли, не знает тоски,
Рядом с ним умирают цветов лепестки.

Холод… иней… на ресницах… белый снег… слепая вечность… безразличность… пустота…

Atakama - Самоубийца

Ты привык один быть и молча страдать...
Ты привык один быть и молча страдать...
Ты привык...
Ты привык...

Ты просыпаешься утром, открываешь глаза
И не видишь ничего, пустота,
Такие черные пятна на белом фоне,
Это режет глаза, они слезятся

Тебя мучает жажда, но надо встать,
Не хватает сил, тебя надо поднять,
Понимаешь, что всем на тебя наплевать,
И ты привык молча страдать.

Ты не хочешь жить, тебе надо лечиться,
И мысль о суициде в голове твоей родится,
И, если все же хватит сил встать и пойти,
Ты понимаешь, что в этом мире ты один.

Ты подходишь к окну, ты стоишь на краю,
Ты открываешь глаза, ты кричишь: "Я лечу",
И ты правда летишь, но не так как птица,
До свидания, мама, я - самоубийца.

До свидания, мама
Самоубийца, самоубийца

Самоубийца...
Самоубийца...
Самоубийца...
Самоубийца...

До свидания, мама, я теряю твой взгляд,
Я уйду в никуда, возвращаясь назад.
До свидания, мама, я теряю твой взгляд,
Я уйду в никуда, возвращаясь назад.

Самоубийца...
Самоубийца...
Самоубийца...
Самоубийца...

Brandon Flowers - Was It Something I Said?

Me and Valentina went down to the chapel but the gates were shut
I had my vows on my pocket and my gold plated ring for my honey love
We headed down Tropicana to the corner with a late night restaurant
We sat close from each other when I looked her in the eyes there was something gone

[Chorus]
Was it something that I said or did?
Was it something that I should have kept here
If you leave me hanging I don′t know what I′ll do
It doesn′t matter who′s wrong or right
In the clear of a blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina this is not like you

I got a job in the nugger and I′ll save a thousand dollars for a brand new start
She said: I didn′t wanna do it but I did it cuz I didn′t want to break your heart
The way they whisper when they said we had to take the conversation to the parking lot
Please baby, please Valentina, baby you′re everything I got

[Repeat Chorus]

I heard the church bells ringing in my head and I′d take them everywhere I′d go
Valentina met a deal and I heard they had a baby five months ago

Was it something that I said or did?
Was it something that I should have kept here
If you leave me hanging I don′t know what I′ll do
It doesn′t matter who′s wrong or right
In the clear of a blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina don′t say it′s true
This is not like you

Brandon Flowers - Hard Enough

You let me in to your life unaware that there was magic and fire in the night
And back then I was just a little boy
I made mistakes that caused you so much pain
All I know is that I′m older now

Some people think that it′s best to refrain from the conventions of old-fashioned love
Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness
They tell themselves that they′re too young to settle down
Girl I promise you I′m older now

And this has been hard enough on you
I know it′s been hard enough on me
In telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don′t you see,
While this has been hard enough on you
It′s been hard enough on me

I wasn′t looking when we built these walls
When we spread my dreams at your feet
Let′s not let times build the flood rise
Before my thoughts begin to run
I think I′m getting older now

And this has been hard enough on you
I know it′s been hard enough on me
In telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don′t you see,
While this has been hard enough on you
It′s been hard enough on me

Can′t stand the thought of another,talking to you sweet my dear
Where would I be tonight if you hadn′t held me here, in your arms?

And this has been hard enough on you
I know it′s been hard enough on me
In telling myself that I can′t roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don′t you see,
While this has been hard enough on you
It′s been hard enough on me

Brandon Flowers - Swallow It

Seek out the light between
Time and confusion glowing up ahead
Instead of slipping through
You bit off more, much more than you could chew

You could not Swallow It
No baby you′re not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you′re not ready, slow down

We had a lot to learn
Table manners and grace, how to wait your turn when
Time came to clear your slate
You had too much, had too much on your plate

You could not Swallow It
No baby you′re not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you′re not ready, slow down

Take your medicine and crawl before you walk
Think it through before you open you open your mouth to talk
Be an advocate of joy
Find your little heart′s desire and

Follow it
Whoa baby you′re not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you′re not ready, slow down

(Baby you′re not ready!)

You could not Swallow It
No baby you′re not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you′re not ready, now

(Slow down!)

No, no, no, no!

Don′t be afraid, this is your year
It′s gonna be alright, you′re a performer
Just take your time, but not too much time

No, no, no, no!

Brandon Flowers - I Came Here To Get Over You

I came here thinking I could ease the pain
I came inspite of other′s good advice
I came here thinking sweet, sweet revenge
Bring me some sugar, let the games begin

I made a lot of bad decisions
But tonight I′m breaking through
I came here to get over you

I had this dream about a wild bird
Black feathered, picking at your beating heart
You reach for me and shout "I need your love!"
Your tomb collapses when I call your bluff
Picking at your heart strings, I need your love

I started shaking when you told me
That you′d found somebody new
I came here to get over you

And the lights are burning like kerosene
I can′t stop thinking about you and me
Did you cross your fingers when you told me you′d be true?

I came here to get
I came here to get
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you

I made a lot of bad decisions
But tonight I′m breaking through

Brandon Flowers - Right Behind You

Asked by the door to get to heaven
Seven trumpets big and bright
You hear it coming in the middle of the night
A caution to the children
Time to turn your crimson white
We′ve all got reservations
Trials will come suddenly
And without explanation
But you were born with goodness
You were born with goodness wherever you go

I′m right behind you in the light of hope
I′ll be beside you on that dusty road
And if you get by, well that′s alright
Wicked winds blow with grace and might
Cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the star

I break your word over me
Sinking in the quicksand
Break your word, but don′t you see
You′re breaking me down now?

I′m right behind you in the light of hope
I′ll be beside you on that dusty road
When no one expects you to deny
And no one accepts your reasons why
You cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the star
No one expects you to deny
And no one accepts your reasons why
You cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the star

Brandon Flowers - Jacksonville

Slow down your mind
Fill the unknown spaces with truth and lie
If you can find the time
And time seems so slow
Now we′re stuck here asking "where did it go?"
(And where do we come from?)
And what are we here for?

There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems, we were fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly

Summer time, so sweet
The luxuries of childhood were on our feet
In the sun sun sun
So, baby, run run run
Baby, run run run
Games will be portrayed

There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems, we were fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly

Up into Jacksonville
Up into monorail
I felt some others love
I′d seen the colours change
I cried a million tears
I caused a million more
Up into Jacksonville

There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems, we were fine

Brandon Flowers - The Clock Was Tickin

A teacher had you write a letter, you were eight years old
About the man that you′d become and the positions you′d hold
But this was long before you and Jackie Jaronimo met
In the Prelude Park at midnight
Now when it came to bells and whistles Jackie did not like
And when she kissed you on the kisser, boy, you kissed her back
Now you tell her that you love her
And she cuts you slack when you drink with your buddies on the weekend

And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
You spend your whole life dropping nickles in the bucket
Waking up at dawn
And while Jackie displayed the joys of finger licking
That clock up on the wall was a tickin′

You got yourself a job cleaning hospital floors
While Jackie had a baby and she had five more
They pay you just enough to drag your ass to the store
To buy bread, milk and better homes and gardens
Jackie flips the pages and she dreams little dreams
A cottage in the country built with real wood beams
There′s a baby in the bedroom, he′s starting to scream
She holds him, though he probably won′t remember

And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
Sometimes dreams are all you′ve got
To keep you going when the day gets long
And you gave up so many just to make a living
That clock up on the wall was a tickin′

Now the kids were all grateful when they left the nest
And Jackie wasn′t perfect but she did her best
She sees the opportunity to get you some rest
But you can′t sleep on the account of screaming grandkids
The golden years are meant to leave a gleam in your eye
You′re starting to discover it′s a great big lie
They work you like a dog until you quit or you die
But you can′t quit because Jackie needs the benefits

And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
They say patience is a virtue
But the doctor says she don′t have long
You stood up and tried your damndest not to listen
But that clock up on the wall was a tickin′

When they told you to clear the room, that′s when it hit you
You watched as a caravan took your sweetheart away
The arguments and the fights and money troubles seem so worthless as
As the kids throw yellow roses on her grave

And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
The house is quiet now and everything inside it seems to know she′s gone
There′s a picture of you both, sixteen years old, just kissing
And that clock up on the wall was a tickin′

You always thought she had a chance
That there was somewhere she hid
And now you′ve come to the conclusion that she never did
Have a chance, that is

Brandon Flowers - Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas

You woke up in the rusted frame
Burned out old Deville
Your legs are shot and they′re flushed with pain
But you can′t keep them still
The sun sets and you′re afraid
Of the itching in your skin
You stumble down the boulevard
Of neon encrusted temples
You′re looking for the grace of God
In the arms of a fellow stranger
Disciples hand you catalogues and concubines
As you stumble down the boulevard crying "Hosanna"

Welcome to fabulous
Welcome to fabulous
Las Vegas
Give us your dreamers, your harlots and your sins
Las Vegas
Didn′t nobody tell you the house will always win?

Cameras on the ceiling tile no place for you to hide
So hunt a seven and you′re looking for shade
That no palm tree can provide
But there′s a little girl you remember back in Tennessee
You have this reoccuring dream
Where you see her playing hide and seek
With a woman who used to know you very well

Sunsets and neon lights
Call girls and neon lights
Black jack and lady luck
Cocaine and lady luck
You call upon her on holy knees tonight

In Las Vegas
Give us your dreamers, your harlots and your sins
Las Vegas
Didn′t nobody tell you?
Didn′t nobody tell you?
Didn′t nobody tell you the house will always win?

Brandon Flowers - Playing with fire

Daddy, I′m not gonna tell you that I′m sorry,
But there aint nothin you can do to change my mind.
I′m not here to know the things I cannot do,
We′ve seen the outcome of the Boy′s Who Didn′t Fly.
That road outside that you′ve been taking home forever,
That′ll be same road that I′ll take when I depart.
Those charcoal veins that hold this chosen land together
May twist & turn but somewhere deep there is a heart.

Playing with fire
You know you′re gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you′re out on a wire
You know we′re playing with fire

I see his calling as the channel of invention,
I will not blush if others see it as a crime.
However dangerous the road, however distant,
These things won′t compromise the will of the design.
Ten thousand Demons hammer down with every footstep,
Ten thousand Angels rush the wind against my back.
The church of mine may not be recognised by steeple,
That doesn′t mean that I will walk without a God
Oh well River of Truth, can you spare me a sip?
The holy fountain of youth has been reduced to a drip.
I′ve got this burning belief in Salvation and love
Its not you make me naive, but if push comes to shove
I will till this ground

You know you′re gonna hurt somebody tonight
Oh woah oh woah woah
(out on a wire)

I might not get there.
This little town, this little house,
They seem to be leaning in the wrong direction
I′m not afraid of you no more.

Playing with fire
You know you′re gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you′re out on a wire
You know we′re playing with fire

Brandon Flowers - On the floor

When the lights go down in the city
Getting real low
Settling in my room
I′m unnoticed

When the still comes in through my window
Letting me go
I feel a calm, come over me, on the floor

On the floor
Where the rats all come away clean
They′re on the floor
Where the children all stomped and screamed
Straight out the door
Well i find my self on my kness
Begging please

When the lights go down in the city
And everyone goes to their room
Walking the trail
To dreamland

When the lights go down in the city
Something is roaring
I find myself
Waiting to believe

On the floor
Where the mice call shots in the corner, that′s where I′ll be
When the crickets come home and sign their symphony
When I find myself on my knees
Begging please

On the floor
They′ve seen the things i′ve done here on the floor
Where the years have gathered and run that′s where I′ll be
And I find myself on my knees
Begging please

Brandon Flowers - Crossfire

There’s a still in the street outside your window
You’re keepin’ secrets on your pillow
Let me inside, no cause for alarm
I promise tonight not to do no harm
I promise you baby, I won′t be no harm

And we′re caught up in the crossfire
A heaven and hell
And were searching for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Watching your dress as you turn down the light
I forget all about the storm outside
Dark clouds roll their way over town
Heartache and pain came pouring down like
Chaos in the rain, yeah
They′re handing it out

And we′re caught up in the crossfire
A heaven and hell
And were searching for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
His fire he airs all through their beating vein
And when the hardest part is over we′ll be here
And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears
Boundaries of our fears

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Next to mine

Brandon Flowers - Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts

Hah. Hah. Hah. Hah. Hah Hah.
Is there anyone out there?
Somewhere I can belong
Man the city just stayed so kind tonight

I need a place to take refuge
See I been loving you blind
And I guess that made it hard for me to find

Now we were caught up in the middle of a worn out dream
I knew we were in trouble but baby I almost screamed
when I saw you dancing
On the moon now
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice? And show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You′re flying away, while I′m stuck here on the ground

Is there anyone out there?
Somewhere I can belong
Man the city just stayed so kind,tonight

And if I had my suspicions
I kept them out of my heart
Just wished I would of known right from the start

That you′d be speaking in riddles and you′re never coming back
You know I know we were in trouble but honey I almost cried
when I saw you dancing
On the moon now
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice? And show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You′re out on the wind and I′m still waiting to be found.

You did a fine job of hiding
That crooked ace up your sleeve
You doubled down my direction
You kiss me on the cheek and leave
I followed you through the darkness
I followed you through the cold
Woman I will tell you one thing
You′re gonna wish you could go back and fold

Why did you roll your dice? And show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You′re flying away, while I′m stuck here on the ground

Why did you roll your dice? And show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You′re out on the wind and I′m still waiting to be found.

Out in the wind
Only time can tell
You got something to remember I will
...
That′s the bottom line
Jilted lovers and broken hearts

Brandon Flowers - Only the Young

Look back in silence; the cradle of your whole life.
There in the distance, loosing its greatest pride.
Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred. Why?
Where did the bow break?
It happened before your time.

There were people there, lovely as you′ve ever been.
Tonight.
Baby you can start again.
Laughing in the open air; have yourself another dream.
Tonight.
Baby we can start again.

Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh..
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...

Mother its cold here. Father thy will be done.
Thunder and lightening crashing down.
They got me on the run, direct me to the sun.
Redemption keeps my covers clean tonight.
Baby we can start again.

Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...

And the sun was shining.
And the sun was shining.
Are you looking for a sign?
Or are you confident?

Hahahahaha.
Hahahahaha.

Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...

Only the young can...
Lost when the wind blow...
Only the young can...
Lost when the wind blow...

Hahahahaha.
Are you confident?
Hahahahaha.

2008, It′s been about 4 years now
I′ve been through a lot
I′ve experienced life

So when they ask me
What am I declaring?
I′m declaring me
I am... the declaration.

Ashanti - Joy To The World

Joy to the world! The Lord has come:
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev′ry heart prepare Him room,
Let heaven and nature sing,

Joy to the world the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains

Repeat repeat the sounding joy

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,

Let earth receive her King.
Let ev′ry heart prepare Him room,
Let heaven and nature sing,

Let heaven and heaven and nature sing.

Ashanti - Sharing Christmas

I′m waking up early this morning
I can′t wait to see our Christmas tree
There is a big blanket of snow
Covering each and every home
Oh

Chorus:
We′re braising a turkey

Ashanti - Leaving (Always On Time)

If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I′m movin′ on
You′ll always be my baby

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you′ll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can′t seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

Anything that I want I can get it, boy
You know you turn me on and on
That′s why I switched my frame of mind
To be there when you call, always on time

I′m lookin′ to spread my wings and party
Everything and for everybody
Give me space, no time alone
It′s like our hearts don′t match no more

Still anything that you want, you can get it, boy
You know I still got love for you
(You′d call, I′d leave with you)
Now baby

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you′ll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can′t seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

When you was cheatin′ you was probably thinkin′ I was
Sad to think, but love got bumpy catchin′ up to lies
And your lies can′t look me straight in the eyes
I′m not surprised

You hurt me, baby
Don′t bother me, baby
Just let me breathe and have my freedom

If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I′m movin′ on
You′ll always be my baby

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you′ll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can′t seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

Yo′, yo′
Why in the world would you wanna leave me, girl
Is there somethin′ I did
The truth is that you was here at home
And I know a b**** can do bad on her own
You′re not alone the way you hurt me, baby
S*** why me, baby
I′ll free your pain
But little did I know that love was good
And as long as I let you go
That you′ll feel the need to come back to me, baby
Who else can hold you and sex you crazy
R-U-L-E
Come back and holler at me, baby

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you′ll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can′t seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you′ll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can′t seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I′m movin′ on
You′ll always be my baby

Ashanti - You′re Gonna Miss

[Verse 1]
It′s killin′ me to think that you don′t want it no more
I should′ve learned my lesson when you f*cked up before
You said some things (I said some things) seems like this thing is over
Cause you ain′t call, since you′ve been gone

[Pre Chorus]
But I ain′t gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain′t gonna cry another night, no
You′re gonna miss this chick right here
You′re gonna miss this chick, I swear

[Verse 2]
I hate to admit it, my heart was all in it
Like a fatal attraction happened, cause now it′s killin′ me
I can′t eat, I can′t sleep, I can′t breathe
I just want you back with me baby

I can′t help but think that when your love is gone
I′m gonna find it hard to keep myself from holdin′ on
And when I try to justify what you did wrong
It′s like I′m constantly reminded that I can′t move on

[Pre Chorus]
But I ain′t gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain′t gonna cry another night, no
You′re gonna miss this chick right here
You′re gonna miss this chick, I swear

[Bridge]
I′m tired of thinkin′ that we could′ve made it, my heart keeps on achin
And I just can′t take it, hey
I feel so weak (I can′t breathe) I just want you back with me baby

I can′t help but think that when your love is gone
I′m gonna find it hard to keep myself from holdin′ on
And when I try to justify what you did wrong
It′s like I′m constantly reminded that I can′t move on

[Pre Chorus/Chorus]
See ain′t nobody′s out there like mine, you′re in it for the very last time
You′re gonna miss this chick right here, you′re gonna miss this I swear

But I ain′t gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain′t gonna cry another night, no
You′re gonna miss this chick right here
You′re gonna miss this chick, I swear

Ashanti

Ooh, I can′t wait to get next to you

(VERSE 1)
Boy you got me doing things that I would never do
And I can′t stop the way I′m feeling if I wanted to
I′m crazy ′bout the way that you could make me say your name
And if I couldn′t have you, I would probably go insane

(CHORUS)
Only you can make me feel (Only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (Only you can take me there)
And only you can make me feel (Only you, only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (Only you can take me there)

(HOOK)

(VERSE 2)
Boy you stay inside my mind there ain′t no denying that (denying that)
And only you can do them things that got me coming back
It′s got to be the realest thing that I have ever felt
And I′ll do what I got to do to keep you to myself

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Crazy ′bout the way you feel
I just gotta have you here
And I wanna let you know
I won′t ever let you go

(CHORUS)

(repeat 2x)

some say that I am a fool to love you
and some say that im to dumb to know whats right for me
but only I can live my life, and only I can fill my heart ache
I never play to know everything but I know when your loves away
I cant sleep and I cant eat and I can live and I cant breathe
so dont make a fool of me, just love me

[chorus] 2x

now they say that me loving you will hurt me
and they say its a matter of time before you break my heart
but even when were far apart I always feel that you are with me
I hope and pray almost everyday that our love never goes away
cuz I can′t see where I would me without your love all over me
so dont make a fool of me just me and say

[chorus] 2x

Ashanti - In These Streets

[Chorus]
How could I ever wanna lose your love?
Why would I ever wanna lose your trust?
Cause there ain′t nothin′ in these streets for me
Oh, no baby, baby

[Verse 1]
I guess it′s safe to say that you′re my everything
Cause when you′re gone away, I feel like everything
Is at the bottom of my list, and all I wanna do is taste your lips on my lips

And ain′t no way I′m givin′ this love to nobody else, cause they ain′t worth it
And what we got ain′t far from perfect, cause we got ours and they still searchin′ babe

[Chorus]
How could I ever wanna lose your love?
Why would I ever wanna lose your trust?
Cause there ain′t nothin′ in these streets for me
Oh, no baby, baby

How could I ever wanna lose your love?
Why would I ever wanna lose your trust?
Cause there ain′t nothin′ in these streets for me
Oh, no baby, baby

[Verse 2]
Now I can say it over and over again, I′m yours and I ain′t goin′ nowhere
And I know that ain′t nobody out there better for me than you
Ain′t no way I′m givin′ this love to nobody else, cause they ain′t worth it
What we got ain′t far from perfect, cause we got ours and they still searchin′

[Chorus]
How could I ever wanna lose your love?
Why would I ever wanna lose your trust?
Cause there ain′t nothin′ in these streets for me
Oh, no baby, baby

How could I ever wanna lose your love?
Why would I ever wanna lose your trust?
Cause there ain′t nothin′ in these streets for me
Oh, no baby, baby

Ashanti - Carry On

[Verse: 1]

There was something in your eyes that I saw tonight
I never thought that I would see it
Now there’s holes in my walls and there’s glass on the floor
And you said you didn’t mean it
You went from zero to none in these past three months on your level of affection
I don’t wanna be that girl that cries herself to sleep putting up with your rejection cause

[Chorus:]
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.

[Verse: 2]

When I try to make sense out of what we have I also fall into depression
Because I know in my heart that we both grown apart ain’t no use in us pretending
We never talk on the phone and you’re never at home
And if you are there’s always tension
I ain’t gonna be that girl that ends up staying sitting around just regretting cause

[Chorus:]
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.

[Verse: 3]

I’m tired of fighting, I’m tired of spiting
My life is a storm full of raining and lightening
My insides are pleading of the screaming
And sometimes I just feel like I’m no longer breathing
I look in your eyes all I see is a demon
I’m tired of wearing my heart on my sleeve and I just don’t know why I stay
Cause day after day continue to say

[Chorus:]
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.

Ashanti - The Declaration

[Chorus]
Never thought you′d be like, be like that ooh
But you know it all comes right back, comes right back ooh
Baby I′m still here, I′m still here, I′m still here
Baby I′m still here, I′m still here ooh

Never thought you′d be like, be like that ooh
But you know it all comes right back, comes right back ooh
Baby I′m still here, I′m still here, I′m still here
Baby I′m still here, I′m still here ooh

[Verse 1]
I used to look into your eyes and think, that you were the one that was meant for me
Everything that you would say, I believed it
You manipulated me, did it so creatively
Slowly took away from me, most of my integrity
Used to say that "I could be, everything and all you need"
Started doing little things back then I couldn′t see, but now
That the rain is gone, yes I′m still here

[Chorus]

(I′m still here, and I see you for who you are
And you′re not far from the devil babe
So pack my heart, and run away, so far away, yeah)

[Verse 2]
They used to tell me I was nothin′, and couldn′t make it there
And so I made it, and they hated, cause I′m stayin′ here
I put my trust into my faith everyday
With all the blood and sweat and tears
All the passion, all the years
Now with clouds and lovin′ cheers
No more cryin′, no more fears
Used to cry myself to sleep, thinkin′ this could never be

And then I picked myself back up and stood on my two feet
And now that the rain is gone,

[Chorus]

(I′m still here, and I see you for who you are
And you′re not far from the devil babe
So pack my heart, and run away, so far away, yeah)

Said I′m still here, said I′m still here
Said I′m still here, and I ain′t no where
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah baby

Ohh, ohhh. Hey, hey, hey, said I′m still here

Ashanti - Over

[Chorus 2x]
Can′t believe that it′s over baby
But every bruse on my heart you gave me
See we tried but we fight then we cried now it′s over babe it′s over babe.
[Verse 1]
When I met you I knew you would be the one,
me cause looking at you made me feel kind of
crazy,now what you asked I almost did it automatically
but it was nothing compared to the joy you gave me.
Although I know that what we had it wasn′t perfect babe,
you fooled around, but see back then it didn′t phase me
I thought by staying, trying to change you would be worth it babe,
but now I see that trying to change you only changed me.
All these tears,and all of your lies
all these years and now we′re saying goodbye, it′s over babe.
[Chorus 2x]
[Verse 2]
Now I′m thinking that I never should have dealt with you,
all this screaming and this yelling
that we go through raining late at night I′m sitting waiting up for you
just to tell you how I hate who you turned into,
see ain′t no way I′m gonna sit and take this shit from you,
I′m never playing another day of being your fool,
I wasted all my time on something that just wasn′t true,
I should have known I could never ever change you.
All these tears, and all of your lies,
all these years and now we′re saying goodbye it′s over babe.
[Chorus 2x]
I′ll never forget what you did to me so I′m gone I′m leaving leaving baby,
I′ll never forget
what you did to me so I′m gone I′m leaving leaving baby.
Whenever you see me don′t even speak,
I′ll never forget what you did to me.
Whenever you see me don′t even speak, I′ll never forget what you did to me.
[Chorus 4x]
I′ll never forget what you did to me so I′m gone I′m leaving, leaving baby.
I′ll never forget
what you did to me so I′m gone I′m leaving, leaving baby.

Ashanti - Hey Santa

Hey Santa can you bring me something good, something good, something good.
Hey Santa can you bring me something sweet, something sweet, something, something sweet.
Like chocolate kisses or candy canes, gumdrops, or butterscotch, fruity flavor, chewy rings.
Hey Santa can you bring me something nice, something nice, something nice.
Hey Santa can you bring me something new, something new, something, something new.
Like a diamond bracelet or a diamond ring, how about a shiny new, baby blue, convertible.
Hey santa can you bring me everything.

Hey Santa can I sing this song to you, sing to you, sing to you.
Hey Santa can you make my wish come true, make it true, make it, make it true.

tree.
Hey Santa can you bring me everything.

Ashanti - Baby

I don′t remember feeling like this...
Baby...Baby I love you...Baby...Baby I love you.
[Verse 1]
I got this jones forming in my bones (from a man)
who indeed took over my soul, (understand)
I couldn′t breathe if he ever said (he would leave),
get on my knees till they bloody red, (baby please)
see I don′t know if you get it yet, (just don′t know)
He′s like the lighter to my cigarette,
(watch me smoke), I never knew another human life
(didn′t know) can have the power to take over mine,
So baby baby.
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,(baby I love you) baby,
baby,baby baby,baby, I love it when I hear
ya name, got me sayin′ baby, baby, baby,
baby, baby,(baby I love you) baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
[Verse 2]
See, I could never feel alone with you (in my life),
I gave up everything I own for you (won′t
think twice), almost a shame how I′m mesmerized (such a shame),
I loose my thought looking in your eyes (I know why)
because your kisses make my lips quiver and (that′s real) and when you
touch me my whole body shivers. (I can feel) now,
I can see how another life(nother life) you
have the power to take over mine cause your my.
[Chorus 2x]
[Verse 3]
Baby, I can′t see my worth (I can′t see) living here on
God′s green earth, you don′t know what
you′ve done to me, (done to me) I never thought
I′d need you desperately,(desperately) it′s kind
of sick how I′m stuck on you(stuck on you)
but I don′t care cause I′m needing you (I′m needing you)
and how I feel will remain the same (remains the same)

That I′m gonna be around

And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied
Gettin′ over and over my pride, yeah
I don′t know why

And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied
Gettin′ over and over my pride, yeah

See, I don′t want to hold my pillow late at night no more
I′m tossin′ and turnin′ and thinkin′ ′bout burnin′ down these walls
I-I don′t wanna fuel this fire no more, no more, no more
See, I made up my mind ′cause I′ve wasted my time
Ain′t nothin′ here to keep me warm

And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied
Gettin′ over and over my pride, yeah
I don′t know why

And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied

Baby, just rain on me
Lord, won′t you take this pain from me
I don′t wanna live, I don′t wanna breathe, no


I′m so tired of the rain
In my life
And I′m so tired of the strain
And now you′re gonna lie

This here it just don′t seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I
Don′t know, let my life go by

′Cause sometimes I can′t sleep at night and
This here it just don′t seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I
Don′t know, let my life go by

Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...

Lord, won′t you take this pain from me
I don′t wanna live, I don′t wanna breathe
Baby, just rain on me

Ashanti - Mother

I would never let a tear
Fall from your eyes
(Oh, no, no, no)
Cause everything
Tou are to me
(Ooooh)
I could never let you
Hurt inside
You mean so much
And I′m so thankful
That your in my life
And I appreciate your love
And all your sacrifice

Without you by my side
I never could survive
I wouldn′t be the woman
Standing here
Before your eyes
You taught me strength
And you gave me guidance
Whenever faith was lost
You were there to find it

And all because
A mother′s love
Is unconditional
With all my heart
And all my soul
I wanna let you know

Said I thank you
And I love you
And I would never
Ever place
No one above you
Said I thank you
And yes I love you
And I would never
Ever place
No one above you

And I love you

Ashanti - Freedom

See I ain′t never think I would have a situation where the people around me just envy I must replace
them
see I always thought the people that watch me grow
would want to see me blow fa′sho but little did I know
they ain′t never really wanna see me smiling.
they couldn′t take the fact that I was really shining
and in my heart I knew they was wishing I was stop
cause they don′t me to rise and be on top.
and all that jealousy and hate
can be right in front of your face
and it′s gone hurt for you to see
but it ain′t your fault just let it be

so I′m gone close my eyes
and I′m gone live my life
despite what you think Im′a be free cause Im′a be me.(x2)

See everybody wanna have something to talk about
so they pointing their fingers and always running their mouths.
no matter how you try to satisfy someone else giving so much of yourself yo love but it′s never
enough.
the more you give them the more want they ain′t happy
and they don′t see all you do to make ‘em happy
they don′t appreciate it till you walk away
but you don′t want to hear by now it′s too late.
and all that jealousy and hate
can be right in front of your face
and it′s gone hurt for you to see
but it ain′t your fault just let it be.

so I′m gone close my eyes
and I′m gone live my life
despite what you think Im′a be free cause Im′a be me.(x2)

What they don′t understand is that Im′a keep livin my life and surviving
Im′a keep pushing and striving and climbing and grinding
cause ain′t no time to be crying I been providing with the strength to carry my way
and Im′a be ok cause I′m gone live my life my way
and u can say what u wanna say it wont affect the way I′m living I′m winning by being free again

so I′m gone close my eyes
and I′m gone live my life
