How Wonderful You Are

Verse 1:

Turn on the lights and close the door

I see myself in the mirror

I’m thinking so hard what to do with my life

Memories don’t fade away.

Verse 2:

Day after day I don’t know the truth

I can’t believe that I didn’t say a word

But you still hear what I say to you

About the choice that I didn’t have.

Chorus:

How wonderful you made me feel

How wonderful you are pleased to see me

How wonderful you changed the ways as I do.

Verse 3:

We’re in the restaurant having a cup of coffee

We start talking about our relationships and having many laughs

But the conversation turns much funnier as it was before

We keep on talking until the following day.

Verse 4:

We went on a journey to the place that we’ve been to before

(How Wonderful)

I can see everybody crossing the street

(How Wonderful)

But they don’t say hello to either of us

(How Wonderful)

So we’ve decided to have a good night out in the town

Love Don’t Change Your Mind

Verse 1:

(Male)

Everytime you left me

I could see the tears coming from your eyes

It was just my fault that you mistakenly said

About our love was on the rocks.

(Female):

On the day you came into my world

And I was surprised to see you for the first time

I know it was true when you looked at me

The romance that we share has slowly begun.

Chorus:

(Male and Female)

Love don’t change your mind

I feel the passion burning inside your heart

Sometimes you take our love away for granted

It doesn’t feel to show what’s the best is yet to come for you

But I don’t believe that we ever meant to be.

Verse 2:

(Female)

I had another man in my life

He promises to keep in touch every day

It was just like a dream when I open my eyes

And see what happened to you a day before.

(Male)

I was deeply concerned that you were already in love

Maybe it was OK for you to find the other guy

You and I are together and I know that our love has come to an emotional start

But we have to hold on and I’ll always be at your side.

Chorus:

(Male and Female)

Love don’t change your mind

I feel the passion burning inside your heart

Sometimes you take our love away for granted

It doesn’t feel to show what’s the best is yet to come for you

But I don’t believe that we ever meant to be.

Bridge:

(Male)

Turn on the lights and you must come to me right now

We’ll share our wonderful moments together as you and I.

(Female)

But I know it was right to start all over again.

(Male and Female)

We promised that our love will be always new

But my mind doesn’t seemed to change your love.

Chorus with Vocal Ad-libs:

(Male and Female)

Love don’t change your mind

I feel the passion burning inside your heart

Sometimes you take our love away for granted

It doesn’t feel to show what’s the best is yet to come for you

Love don’t change your mind

I feel the passion burning inside your heart

Sometimes you take

Sometimes you take our love away, our love away

But I don’t believe

But I don’t believe that we ever meant

Love

Love don’t change love

My mind doesn’t seemed

My mind doesn’t seemed to change your love

I need love, I need love, I need love

Oh love, oh my love oooooh ooooooh.

Never Do You Wrong

(Intro)

(All)

Hee….

Chorus:

(All)

Never do you wrong

How many times have you felt bad

Never do you wrong

How many times have you cried

Never do you wrong

Why don’t you love me anymore

Never do you wrong

Please don’t go ‘cause I love you so.

Verse 1:

(Female)

I’ve been waiting for you to come along

I’m expecting to see you any minute now

You got me hooked when we had a serious talk

I know it’s going to be very real

When it finished I went up the stairs

I managed to get myself in the room

Everything changed when you came into my life

You didn’t realize that I was here for you.

Chorus:

(All)

Never do you wrong

How many times have you felt bad

Never do you wrong

How many times have you cried

Never do you wrong

Why don’t you love me anymore

Never do you wrong

Please don’t go ‘cause I love you so.

Verse 2:

(Female)

Turn on the fire and let it burn through the night

You put your arms around me and hold me close

We know that everything’s turned upside down

When you ask me for a quicker divorce

Sooner or later I get a call from someone I know

They say could you get there on time to see you again

And you arrived earlier than expected

I didn’t realize that you were here for me.

Chorus:

(All)

Never do you wrong

How many times have you felt bad

Never do you wrong

How many times have you cried

Never do you wrong

Why don’t you love me anymore

Never do you wrong

Please don’t go ‘cause I love you so.

Bridge:

(Female)

You don’t change my mind

Because I want to stay tonight

Maybe it’s just a fact

That you are in love with me

I can do no wrong

But you can’t love me anymore.

Ad-libs:

(All)

Never do you wrong

Never

Never do you wrong

Never

Never do you wrong

Never

Never do you wrong

Never.

Rap:

(Male)

‘Cause you see I’m a good guy who knows about these things

I couldn’t sleep all night but I did somehow

You know that I always listened to that Chic sound

Bring back Good Times and say Le Freak to all the guys there

That funky guitar sound has always inspired me from its beginning

Bernard and Nile are the brave musicians as we know

We want your love from each one of you

And let the disco flow until the break of dawn

I danced to the cool simple beat

When the DJ played it very high

All the gangstas and mommas have come out to play

Cool sensitive stuff they bought

Every time I hear good damn funk music

From Sly Stone to James Brown

We take you behind the groove

And we never do you good come on.

Chorus with lead vocal ad-libs:

(Female)

Never do you wrong

How many times have you felt bad

Never do you wrong

How many times have you cried

Never do you wrong

Why don’t you love me anymore

Never do you wrong

Please don’t go ‘cause I love you so.

Never do you wrong

How many times have you felt bad

Never do you wrong

How many times have you cried

Never do you wrong

Why don’t you love me anymore

Never do you wrong

Please don’t go ‘cause I love you so.

Never do you wrong

Never do you….

PART TIME LOVE

Chorus:

She was my part time lover

She was a beautiful angel

She was my part time lover

She was a good girl.

With a warm smile

Verse 1:

When she got home from work I was in the living room waiting

Then she sat down next to me

And she told me so tenderly

That she was going out with another man

I couldn’t believe it was true, so I told her that she must go 2 him right now.

But I felt my heart was breaking like glass hitting the floor

And shattering 4 she was

Chorus- Repeat

Verse 2:

She reminded me what we had was great,

That she must end it with her former lover.

But I had a funny feeling that there was something more to this

So that night we both went to a fancy restaurant

I was waiting for her to arrive

And her car pulled up outside of the restaurant

Then she was pleased to see me again

And we kissed twice then,

I held her in my arms so tenderly for a while

Chorus- Repeat

Bridge:

We went to the bar with the other guys

We sat down and had a drink

She went to the stage and sang a little blues number

I hear her voice and it sounds like Janis Joplin.

(Instrumental)

Verse 3:

She took me home, after spending the night together

I was a bit tired but not so hung over

She was OK and didn’t want to get sick

I know you still love me, and I’ll always be loving you.

Chorus- Repeat

You are my part time love

You were a good girl

With a warm smile.

The Lead and How To Swing It

A cappella:

I’m the leader and I swing it

It’s the best thing I can do.

(Intro with ad-libs))

Verse 1:

I didn’t have a good night last night

When I was out in town

There was fighting going on

I know I had to stop them from hurting each other

Some men turned away

And the others I have to separate

The guards are coming through the door

And I tell them what they have to do.

Bridge:

My passion has always been dancing

I have been doing this all my life

I know I had to rock your body

And we jump to the beat

Just get to the dance floor

And teach me how to dance.

Chorus:

I’m the leader and I swing it

It’s the best thing I can do.

I need your lovin’

You are the leader and you swing it

I want to be your superfreak.

(Vocal ad-libs)

Verse 2:

I hit the dancing class

It’s been my dream

To dance with somebody who loves me

We can do dirty dancing

And I lift my baby so high

We step it up to the top

Until we have a winner

I’ve had the time of my life

And I owe it all to you.

Rap:

It’s good when we swing it

When you teach me how to dance

If you do the foxtrot or tango

You better follow me with a waltz

Conga is fun to do

But the rhythm is going to get you

The clock strikes ten

The party is in a good mood

And no one puts you in the corner come on.

You Give Me Freedom

Verse 1:

There’s a place

Just down the open highway

We travelled a long way

And we try to look for a shelter

We do our best to live here

We look for the clothes to wear

And food to eat every day

We have to keep our identities secret

So that no one knows about us

There’s only one chance for us to live

Our homeland is totally deserted.

Chorus:

You give me freedom

You give me some tender love

You give me strength to carry on

You give me a chance to live and learn in this world

You give me courage to achieve

You just reach out and touch somebody’s hand.

Verse 2:

There’s a hope for you to call everyone

And gather them round

We had to solve everybody’s problems

And carry precious gifts to loved ones

We sang songs to the relatives every night

After our day is done

Now people don’t suffer when it’s hot

And now people don’t die when it’s cold

We are hoping to cross the bridge when it’s clear and safe

When it’s not so dangerous to go through

We have to hold on until it’s safe to go

To the place we will live forever.

Chorus with vocal ad-libs:

You give me freedom

You give me some tender love

You give me strength to carry on

You give me reason to live

You give me a choice to decide

You give me freedom

You give me peace

You give and show me some respect

You give me a chance to live and learn in this world

You give me courage to achieve

You just reach out and touch somebody’s hand.

Bridge with vocal ad-libs:

Brothers and sisters

Holding hands one by one

We stand together

And we must fight to survive

A new day will come any moment now.

Chorus with vocal ad-libs:

You give me freedom

You give me some tender love

You give me strength to carry on

You give me reason to live

You just reach out and touch somebody’s hand.

Knockin’

Chorus:

I heard you knockin’ on my door

I’m afraid I’ll have to let you in

I heard you kickin’on my door

I want you to get out

And don’t come back no more.

Verse 1:

You said it doesn’t really matter about the truth

I said you have been hurting yourself

Blood comes out of your veins

And it simply drips on to the floor

You were desparate to let yourself down

I was totally unhappy about you and your stupid lies

Your life was already in decline

And the reason that you defend me

Bridge:

So tell me baby

Are we going to fight each other?

Please don’t come back no more.

Chorus:

I heard you knockin’ on my door

I’m afraid I’ll have to let you in

I heard you kickin’on my door

I want you to get out

And don’t come back no more.

Verse 2:

Sooner or later I took many calls in one day

It’s much more important if I have lots of plans

It’s just a game when you turn me off

And I said that’s enough and you will have to go

I hate you more than I love you

You didn’t refuse to say it at all

If I say it one more time when you have to go

And I don’t want to hear anything from you.

Bridge:

So tell me baby

Are we still lovers or not?

Please don’t come back no more.

Chorus with lead vocal ad-libs:

I heard you knockin’ on my door

I’m afraid I’ll have to let you in

I heard you kickin’on my door

I want you to get out

And don’t come back no more.

I heard you knockin’ on my door

I’m afraid I’ll have to let you in

I heard you kickin’on my door

I want you to get out

And don’t come back no more.

Bridge with lead vocal ad-libs:

Please baby I see you knocking on the door three times

I push you away and say stay out of my sight

You gave me everything that I need

I’ll swear if you promise me that you’ll never do it again.

(Lead vocal and instrumental ad-libs)

Chorus with lead vocal and instrumental ad-libs):

Is It Really Love Enough?

(Intro)

(Ad-libs)

Verse 1:

(Female)

I remember when I came home one night

When someone came to tell me off

About lies and personal affairs

I felt it was too bad for me to get through

Talking about conversations that you had before

But maybe I can start all over again.

(Male)

I saw you walking down the street

But I didn’t know it was you

I thought you were my only one

But now I need to know who you are.

Chorus:

(Female and male)

We must have respect

To care for each other

We must have justice to protect

We need to know that we are safe.

(Female)

I can’t go on without you my love.

(Female and male)

Is it really love enough?

(Ad-libs)

Verse 2:

(Male)

Everytime you were there

I would keep my eye on you darling

To make sure you were doing fine

It’s just the same old story

About two of us having a wonderful life together

Maybe it was like a dream.

(Female)

We have to move on and go on

But baby I need you by my side

It’s never too late though we came to a dead end

We didn’t know what to do.

Chorus – Repeat 2x

Bridge:

(Male)

It’s not enough to say

You were my angel in disguise

Should I take a chance and live as a part of your fantasy?

(Female)

It’s OK for you to shut my mouth

We just say goodnight.

(Female and male)

And I’m heading out the door.

(Harmonica Solo with vocal ad-libs)

Chorus with ad-libs – Repeat till fade

I Don’t Need Another Love Like That

Verse 1:

It never felt this way

And I know what is happening

I see it in your eyes

You know it is a truth to see it through

Every time when I look at you

On the day when we first met

It might seem to be much easier

For you and I

There are no words that you could say.

Chorus:

I don’t need another love like that

I just can’t go on when you keep running out of my time

So there’s a choice that you will have for a while

You don’t need another heart like mine

Before you can say that love cannot be denied

Think again and remember all these memories that I’ve dreamt of.

Verse 2:

Life is almost different

When the time is changing

I noticed it was yesterday

But today remains the same

I never knew when everything was wrong

But I couldn’t get up to change the time

While I was doing that it went back to normal

Once again

I felt that I couldn’t work it out.

Chorus - Repeat

It might seem to be much easier

For you and I

There are no words that you could say.

Chorus – repeat till fade

I Can’t Be Loved

Verse 1:

I don’t want to hurt my feelings for you

When you kiss me goodbye and walk away

The room seems so cold and my heart is slowly melting

So I couldn’t love someone else.

Verse 2:

Now that I’m alone with no one at my side

I couldn’t face the truth by saying nothing at all

It may have changed so quickly when I was barely able to speak

But I couldn’t say another word

I need to be loved but I can’t be.

Chorus:

I want to be loved by you

You are so special in my life

‘Cause I need to explain

When someone broke my heart in two

I felt sad without you

I can’t be loved.

(Vocal ad-libs)

Verse 3:

I haven’t heard anything from you

Since you went away not long ago

I have to change my name to something different

I’ll have an identity that you will know.

Verse 4:

I managed to leave and walk out the door quite quickly

But you come back to reclaim me

I didn’t know that you were here

And that you had something to say

I need to be loved but you can’t.

Chorus:

I want to be loved by you

You are so special in my life

‘Cause I need to explain

When someone broke my heart in two

I felt sad without you

I can’t be loved.

(Vocal ad-libs)

Bridge:

You hurt me so badly

When I tried to get you out

You pushed me to the ground

And I hurt myself

You are the biggest fool that I’ve ever met in my life.

(Instrumental Break with Vocal ad-libs)

I need to be loved but I can’t be.

Chorus with lead vocal ad-libs:

I want to be loved by you

You are so special in my life

When someone broke my heart in two

I felt sad without you

I want to be loved by you

You are so special in my life

‘Cause I need to explain

When someone broke my heart in two

I felt sad without you

I can’t be loved

I want to be loved by you

You are so special in my life

‘Cause I need to explain

When someone broke my heart….

Fall Again

(Intro)

(Ad-libs)

Verse 1:

(Male)

Every time I close my eyes

I feel the sight, a vision inside

Please don’t look back when you’re afraid.

I’ll hold you so tenderly

I know that you love me so much

And I’ll always be at your side.

Bridge:

(Female)

When I look into your eyes

And see what I feel is you

I know it’s you and you are my only one

We didn’t believe in miracles

Until one winter night when we walked in a frosty breeze

You gave your trust to me.

Chorus:

(All)

I don’t wanna fall again right now

I want to get close to you

When you put your arms around me

It feels so bad when I’m lonely

You better keep my faith alive

If I never let you down.

Verse 2:

(Female)

I look out the bedroom window

Watching people passing by

They believe that they are in a rush

I notice every one of them seem to be strangers

They never talk to me

So how would I understand.

Bridge:

(Male)

When I looked into your face

It was very pale and cold

You came in from the afternoon storm

We always believed in happiness

We walked together you and I in a warm starry night

It’s good to share the feeling.

Chorus with lead vocal ad-libs:

(All)

I don’t wanna fall again right now

I want to get close to you

When you put your arms around me

It feels so bad when I’m lonely

You better keep my faith alive

If I never let you down

I don’t wanna fall again right now

I want to get close to you

When you put your arms around me

It feels so bad when I’m lonely

You better keep my faith alive

If I never let you down.

Bridge:

(Male)

Here and now

You must never break these rules

In order to keep our scarifice

And divine emotions.

(Female)

Now and then

We could be anywhere

Please darling I will live for you

And you will live for me.

Chorus with lead vocal ad-libs (Repeat till fade):

Classy Seduction

(Spoken Word Introduction taken from the film ‘Class’)

(Instrumental intro and ad-libs)

Spoken Verse 1:

(Male 1)

When I walked in to the bar one night

I sat across one side and you sat on the other

I think that you are so beautiful and you get to know me quite well

Everything is so special and we had a good life together

You promise me not to say I love you too much

We had to flee and go wandering through the night

I hold you in my arms again and you promise me to stay

But you don’t know everything about me.

Spoken Chorus:

Classy seduction

Classy seduction.

(Instrumental ad-libs)

Spoken Verse 2:

(Female)

Don’t worry darling it’s going to be alright

I’ll let you settle down for a while

You never seemed to take a chance with anyone like me

But I know it’s true when you are all alone

I want you to get out of my property, soon as you can

You stand beside these gates as I’m telling you to leave

However, you aren’t bothered so I want you to go now

And to keep away out of my sight.

Spoken Chorus:

Classy seduction

Classy seduction.

Spoken Bridge:

(Male 2)

Did you follow her everywhere

And did you call her millions of times a day?

I’m very angry with you… and she is my mother.

(Instrumental ad-libs)

Spoken ad-libs:

Please tell me that I love you more.

If you give me a chill factor

Then you keep me warm

If you give me some passion baby

Please tell me that I love you more.

Verse 1:

Into the sunrise

As I make love to you

Your body is close to mine

We see our crystal ball glittering in the daylight

I know what’s going on with you baby

You have just opened the curtains and let the fresh air in

I want to hold and touch you all the time

As we continue to make love when the day comes.

Chorus with lead vocal ad-libs – Repeat 2x

Verse 2:

Looking ahead to the future

As I spend my quiet time alone

You went away on your travels

And I managed to look after your belongings

You walked around my back and patted me on my shoulder

I knew that you seemed to be my dear old friend.

Chorus with lead vocal ad-libs – Repeat 2x

Ad-libs:

Gimme Some Fever

(Intro with vocal ad-libs)

(Ad-libs):

Gimme

Gimme some fever

Gimme

Gimme some fever

Verse 1:

(Male)

Driving alone in my car

I'm heading for my own destination

So that I can see my baby

I turn the music on

And I hear the feel good beat

Of the song I can remember

I know it's getting late

I have to get home right now

But the phone keeps on ringing

I just ignore it and focus on what I'm doing

My baby would be sleeping

With the lights on

You're supposed to turn them off

And go back to sleep.

Chorus:

(All)

Gimme some fever in the morning

Gimme some fever in the night

It only takes time when you sneeze a lot

Gimme some fever after today

Gimme some fever during the week

It comes and goes every year in the summertime

(Male)

You make me feel so bad

when you caught me cheating with the girl i love

Just gimme whatever you want

So that I can take it for myself

(All)

Would you gimme, gimme some fever.

(Male)

Tonight.

(Vocal ad-libs)

Verse 2:

(Female)

Chilling out with my friends

In the secret garden

where the birds and bees are flying so high

I sit back and relax

While I'm talking to someone I know

It's hot out there in the daytime

I miss you so much now and then

You have been away for a long time

But you should be here by now

so that we can be together forever and always

We never let ourselves down

In our own secret world

You just look at me

In the way that lovers do.

Chorus:

(All)

Gimme some fever in the morning

Gimme some fever in the night

It only takes time when you sneeze a lot

Gimme some fever after today

Gimme some fever when you are on the streets

It comes and goes every year in the summertime

(Female)

The time finally comes right

For you and I to get some fever

in the summer time

We'll run away to our secret garden every day.

(All)

Would you gimme, gimme some fever

(Female)

Right now.

Bridge with vocal ad-libs:

We hide in the shelter

when the birds and bees have disappeared

The clouds gather and there are sheets of rain coming straight down on us

We keep our irons in the fire

(Male)

I know that I love you

(Female)

But this time it's for real

(Male and Female)

We are not letting ourselves go.

Off The Hook

(Instrumental Intro with Lead Vocal Ad-libs)

Verse 1:

I’m tired after a hard day’s work

So I sit down and relax for a while

Have a nice glass of wine and a biscuit or two

I’m just getting ready for the night

But I have to take my mobile with me

Just in case it gets lost.

Bridge:

I walk out the door

And head to my fave hotspot

So that I can dance all night long

Mmmmm

I used to be a lovergirl

But not anymore.

Chorus:

Cause I have so many calls

And my phone has been ringing off the hook

Don’t worry I won’t forget

You left me a text message not long ago

My phone has been ringing off the hook

I know what it is.

Verse 2:

I was supposed to turn it on

At five o’clock in the morning

And I saw one message from someone that I know

Sooner or later I have to be at the party

Visiting that friend who has been texting me

Since 2am in the wee small hours

Bridge:

I thought he was cute

But he turns out to be nasty

He hits me down to the ground

Oooooooo

I managed to get up

And they promise he’ll not do it again.

Chorus:

Cause I have so many calls

And my phone has been ringing off the hook

I just left each one of them a message

I’m not tired of calling them

My phone has been ringing off the hook

Or if you try my number

That’s when you’ll get through to me

After so many days

I love talking to you on the phone

But you seem not to!.

Chorus:

I’m asking you not to run away

Because your phone has been ringing off the hook

I try to give you advice hee…

Midnight Lover

(Intro)

Verse 1:

She went to the club

To see a friend of mine

And she says ‘He’s too hot and sexy for me’

He whispers in her ear

He says ‘I think you are so hot’

He takes her jacket off and they head to the bar.

Bridge:

It’s almost midnight

And the music begins to fade

They keep on talking for hours

This will change their lives forever.

Chorus:

She’s a midnight lover

She only goes out in the night

She’s a perfect stranger

He wants to keep her satisfied

Because she’s the one for him.

Verse 2:

I spot her with a man

At the party one night

And she says ‘I’m too hot and sexy for him’

I walk over to them

And I say ‘I think you two look great together’

I sit down at their table and he tells me who he is.

Bridge:

It’s just before midnight

And the party goes on until the early hours

We stay up all night

Until they turn down the lights.

Chorus – Repeat 2x

Bridge:

There’s no time to waste for them

They should run away all night

And they won’t come back until the morning

And they fall into their bed

He wants to be with her always.

She was so lovely to me

The girl turns out to be the one from my college

And I have fallen in love with her

I answer her calls and messages

She seemed to be so nice.

I ask her to go out with me tonight

She says she has got other plans

Someone knocks on my door

I rush downstairs to see if anyone is around

When I open the door there were a group of friends

Standing on my doorstep

I’m almost ready to go

But I forgot to bring my sister

Because she wants to come with us

So I call out her name and she appears

I close my door and face the crowd

‘Cos I’m your leader and you better follow me.

We’ll Be On Our Way

Verse 1:

(Female 1)

I know the time is coming

I should leave this place and go away

My life has just begun

Tears come down my face

I’m hoping to break these rules

Any day now

Any day now.

Chorus:

You’ll always be there

And I’ll be there for you

So that we can be together

I carry the torch for you

And we’ll be on our way.

(Male 1)

It’s been a while since I last saw you

My friends have been crazy about you

With the girl of my dreams

It will happen anytime soon

Any day now

Any day now.

So that I can find you

Any time in any place

And I’ll run to you.

You can’t fight anymore

And you can’t break each other’s hearts

Let’s bury the past

And move on with our lives yeah.

Everywhere I Go With You

Verse 1:

Everywhere I go with you

If there’s anything that you ever need to take with you

I know that my heart feels so much stronger

From now on I’ll be your friend and companion.

Verse 2:

Anytime I spent lonely nights

When the night is falling I could see the stars

It’s so amazing to see the night sky

How beautiful it can be.

Chorus:

You have to come with me and I’ll take you for a ride

We have to stop by to see the places that we love

We’re always there and I know that this is the place for the two of us

I need you by my side then we’re together.

All day and all night long in the same room

We have to stop by to see the places that we love

We’re always there and I know that this is the place for two of us

I need you by my side when we’re dancing in the crowded ballroom

The crowded ballroom

The crowded ballroom.

Someone Else’s Eyes

Verse 1:

I believe what you said to me

About our own choices that we have planned

We’re much too close to this to see what we’re doing

But you didn’t say that our love came to an end

I was always interested in keeping our promises

And letting us go our separate ways.

Bridge:

The time keeps on changing

You tried to call me several times a week as I know

But it doesn’t really matter if you understand me.

Chorus:

I know it was right to say my name

We have to know each other by now

We no longer see each other’s faces

We just keep on fighting, living our lives

I’m aware of those problems that you had

But I have to look my own way

And I believe it was someone else’s eyes.

Verse 2:

There’s the chance for both of us to decide

But we could discuss it a bit later

We are not getting any closer as it all comes to a bitter halt

You can try to answer me once again

It all went much too easily

Our vows could be renewed if we want to

Bridge:

Our life together is fading so fast

We can try to see each other once a week

I know what you meant when you said

The life is so different.

Chorus:

I know it was right to say my name

We have to know each other by now

We no longer see each other’s faces

We just keep on fighting, living our lives

I’m aware of those problems that you had

But I have to look my own way

And I believe it was someone else’s eyes.

(Instrumental Break)

And we continue bringing our mind, body and soul

To our usual way of happiness.

Chorus:

I know it was right to say my name

We have to know each other by now
