Christina Aguilera - Back To Basics (2006) by Christina Aguilera (보컬) on maniadb.com

A very pleasant good evening
ladies and gentlemen
It is now time
for the one and only
There never will be another
Christina Aguilera

That's how music
should sound

I've waited for some time
To get inside the minds
Of every legend
I've ever wanted
to stand beside
It's like a endless ride
Feeling the lows and highs
Of every lyric and melody
every single rhyme
So here I stand today
In tribute I do pay
To those before me
who laid it down and
paved the way
And so to god I pray
That he will
give me strength
To carry forward
the gift of song
in his good faith
In his good faith
I'm going back to basics
To where it all began
I'm ready now to face it
I wanna understand
What made the soul singers
And the blues figures yeah
That inspired
a higher generation
The jazz makers
And the ground breakers
They gave so much
of themselves in dedication
So here I stand today
In tribute I do pay
To those before me
who laid it down and
paved the way

He-hey he-hey ohh
Oh yeah
Well alright
He-hey

What is this feeling coming over me?
I′m taken back in disbelief
Is this really me, ha! in the mirror I see?
Staring back at me:
Could it be? A new reflection of a woman complete

All of a sudden I′m so care-free (well alright)
′cause love is doing something strange to me (well alright)
Got a new flame, ha! haven′t been the same
Something in me′s changed, rearranged
And I feel that I′ve been saved

You got me feeling like you′re that something I′ve been missing
Everything′s heaven ′cause life with you has been a blessing

(Oh-oh oh-oh)
I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
Your love has brought me to a higher place, oh yeah
(Who knew? Who knew?)
It′d be you to restore my faith
Everyday, I′m amazed
And it makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray
Said it makes me wanna get down and pray
Yeah-hey

I′ve kept some company I shouldn′t have (well alright)
Made some mistakes but that′s in the past (well alright)
I′m professing here to you
Proof that I am through

I′m coming clean
Now I can breathe
and I finally believe, yeah

You got me thinking I′ll be alright, and you′re the reason
Ooh I can feel it, we′re moving in a new direction

(Oh-oh oh-oh)
I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
Your love has brought me into a higher place, oh yeah
(Who knew? Who knew?)
It′d be you to restore my faith
Everyday, I′m amazed
And it makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray
Said it makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray

Ohh
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Without you by my side
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Without you standing by

Makes me wanna (pray)
Makes me need to (pray)
When I′m feeling low and all alone,
You′re the light in my day, yeah

(Oh-oh oh-oh)
I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
Your love has brought me into a higher place, oh yeah
(Who knew? Who knew?)
It′d be you to restore my faith
Everyday, I′m amazed
′cause it makes me wanna get down and pray
′cause it makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray

Woo, thank you father!

Wanna lift my hands up and pray
′cause everytime I′m hearing your name
Wanna reach out and rejoice
Sound of your voice, yeah

Hey yeah
Alright
That′s it

What we're gonna do right here is go back
Way back, back into time

Yeah, yeah-yeah

(Miss Aretha, (The Real Thing) James Brown, Billie Holiday)
(Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Louis Armstrong)
(Minnie Riperton, Otis Redding, Etta James)

Back in the day, they used to say
Play that song, get it going, and the band played
And still today, you hear us say
Play that song all night long, Mr. DJ
Though times have changed,
It's still the same
We all need a minute to get away
So let it go and feel the flow
If you've got soul, let the world know

We're gonna set the mood (set the mood off right)
Gonna go back to an old school groove (go back to an old school groove)
Gonna rewind to another time
When the originators, innovators were alive, yeah

Here we say now
So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James
Your Lady Day, and Coltrane
Turn up your 45's, bring back to life
The sound and vibe of yesterday
Open your mind, enjoy the ride,
Live out tonight and grab that Soul Train

Take it back, take it
Back in the day, back in the day
Oh baby

Won't you take me back?
Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

Ohh yeah

Y'all remember back in the day, you dig
Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald

Yeah
Now "Chain Of Fools" and "Respect"
Was the anthem of a woman, Aretha said
"What's Going On", "Let's Get It On"
Such classic songs, don't forget them
Though times have changed
They still remain my inspiration everyday
So give it up for the ones
Who came before, opened up that door

We're gonna set the mood

Hey!!!!
Do your thing honey!
당신, 그대로 행동해

I could feel it from the start,
Couldn't stand to be apart.
Something about you caught my eye,
Something moved me deep inside
I don't know what you did boy but you had it
And I've been hooked ever since.
처음부터 느낄 수 있었어
당신과 떨어져 있단 건 견딜 수 없는 일
당신의 무언가에 시선이 사로잡혔지
내 안 깊은 곳까지, 당신의 무언가가 흔들어 놓았지
당신 뭘 했는지 모르겠지만, 분명 당신에겐 뭔가가 있어
이렇게 끌린 적은 없었는걸

I told my mother, my brother, my sister and my friends
Told the others, my lovers, both past and present tense
That every time I see you everything starts making sense
엄마에게도, 오빠에게도, 언니에게도, 친구들에게도 얘기했어
다른 사람들, 내 연인들, 과거의 사람들이건 현재의 사람들이건 모두에게 말했어
당신을 볼 때 마다, 모든 게 다 이해되기 시작해

Do your thing honey!
당신, 그대로 행동해

Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do (What you do!)
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon. (Hey)
You got soul (Yeah), you got class (Ohh). You got style, you badass (Oh yeah!)
Ain't no other man it's true (All right)
Ain't no other man but you
그 어떤 남자도, 당신 옆에 설 수 조차 없지
지구상 그 어떤 남자도, 당신처럼 행동할 수 없어
당신처럼 말이야
당신은 마치 파란 달에서나 찾을 수 있을만한 그런 남자야
당신은 영혼과 기품, 스타일까지 다 가졌지, 이 나쁜 사람 같으니
그 어떤 남자도 진실이 아냐
당신만이 유일한 남자야

Never thought I'd be alright. (No, no, no!)
'Til you came and changed my life. (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
What was cloudy now is clear! Yeah, yeah!)
You're the light that I needed
내가 괜찮을 거라곤 생각지 못했어, 아냐! 당신이 나타나 내 생을 바꿔놓기 전엔, 예!
끼였던 구름은 모두 사라졌어, 예! 당신은 내가 원했던 빛이었던 거야

You got what I want boy, and I want it!
So keep on givin' it up!
당신 내가 원하는 걸 가졌어, 난 그걸 원해. 그러니까 멈추지 말고 내게 줘!

So tell your mother, your brother, your sister, and your friends. (Your sister and your friends)
Tell the others, your lovers, better not be present tense.
'Cause I want everyone to know that you are mine and no one else's!
당신 엄마에게도, 형에게도, 누나에게도, 친구들에게도 말해!
그리고 다른 이들, 당신의 연인들도 이제 정리하도록 해
당신이 다른 누구의 것도 아닌 내 것이란 걸, 모두들 알았으면 좋겠으니까!

I made you think, you don't understand.

I used to think that happiness could only be something
That happened to somebody else
Everybody believed, everybody but me, yeah yeah
And I've been hurt so many times before,
That my hopes was dying, so sick of trying
Everybody could see, everybody but me, yeah yeah
But then you came into my life, you opened up my softer side
And now I can see into your eyes
And suddenly, I realize.

I made you think, you don't understand
All the times you didn't understand,
Why you couldn't just be my man.
I made you think, you don't understand
There were many walls you had to climb,
If you really wanted to be mine.
I made you think, you don't understand
After all the hoops I put you through,
Now I see that I'm in love with you

Now, I hope you finally understand.

So many tears I've had to cry,
But you had many more of your own you had to try
But you stuck it out and you're here with me now, yeah yeah
And rememberin' the days I pushed away your love,
You called my bluff and you still stayed around,
Yeah you figured me out
Said, you got me down
And there's no way to lie to you, you know me better than I do

Baby, ooh, you see me through,
I'd be no good without you.

I made you think, you don't understand
All the times you didn't understand,
Why you just couldn't be my man
I made you think, you don't understand
There were many walls you had to climb (yeah)
If you really wanted to be mine (ooh)
I made you think, you don't understand
After all the hoops I put you through (through)
Now I see that I'm in love with you

Now, I hope you finally understand

Ohh.

Baby, won't you listen now
Can't you see just what I'm talking about?
Said baby won't you listen now
Can't you see just what I'm talking about?

Time went on, and I was wrong
To keep my distance for so long.
So afraid, you wouldn't stay
But you never turned away

Always right by my side
You're forever in my life
Don't you go
'Cause now I know
That in you I found a home.

Now I can see into your eyes
Suddenly, I realize.

I made you think, you don't understand
All the times you didn't understand
Why you just couldn't be my man
I made you think, you don't understand
There were many walls you had to climb,
If you really wanted to be mine
I made you think, you don't understand
After all the hoops I put you through
Now I see I'm in love with you.

Now, I hope you finally understand.

I made you think, you don't understand.

I know you’ve used ′em ‘bout thousand times
You say ′em like they were a nursery rhyme
But I won’t buy it

If you knew anything, you’d realise I wear a ring

Whoa, oh, yeah,

She was so young with such innocent eyes
She always dreamt of a fairytale life
And all the things that your money can′t buy
She thought that he was a wonderful guy
Then suddenly, things seemed to change
It was the moment she took on his name
He took his anger out on her face
She kept all of her pain locked away

Oh mother, we′re stronger
From all of the tears you have shed
Oh mother, don′t look back
Cause he′ll never hurt us again

So mother, I thank you
For all that you′ve done and still do
You got me, I got you
Together we always pull through
We always pull through
We always pull through
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother

It was the day that he turned on the kids
That she knew she just had to leave him
So many voices inside of her head
Saying over and over and over,
″You deserve much more than this.″

She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide
Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises)
So tired of defending her life, she could have died
Fighting for the lives of her children

Oh mother, we′re stronger
From all of the tears you have shed (all of the tears you have shed)
Oh mother, don′t look back
Cause he′ll never hurt us again (he′ll never hurt us again)

So mother, I thank you (thank you)
For all that you′ve done and still do (still do)
You got me, I got you, (yeah you got me and I got you)
Together we always pull through.
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother

All of your life you have spent
Burying hurt and regret
But mama, he′ll never touch us again

For everytime he tried to break you down
Just remember who′s still around
It′s over, and we′re stronger
And we′ll never have to go back again

Oh mother, we′re stronger
From all of the tears you have shed
Oh mother, don′t look back (oh mother don′t look back again)
Cause he′ll never hurt us again (cause he′ll never hurt us again)

So mother, I thank you (and I thank you for everything you′ve done)
For all that you′ve done and still do (together we always move on)
You got me, I got you, (you got me, I got you)
Together we always pull through (always pull through)
We always pull through
We always pull through

I love you mom

You know who you are
This is for you

Hmmm, yeah, ooh yeah, ohh

I thought I knew who you were
I see now you were a lesson to learn
And all I am to you now is a bridge that′s been burned
Now I was the first to believe
I made you part of my musical dream
And your thanks to me, came without an apology, yeah

We wrote Loving Me 4 Me, don′t Walk Away
Can′t Hold Us Down, all part of our history
Don′t forget Infatuation, I′m a Fighter
Feeling Underappreciated

Yeah, this song is for you to remind you
That I moved on, sang my songs,
I′ve got no regrets

Mmhmm, ohh

Hope it all was worth it, uh
Looks like I didn′t need you
Still got the album out
Ha

Me and you, we′re different
Don′t always see eye to eye
You go left, and I go right
And sometimes when we even fight
That don′t mean that I won′t need a friend, oh
You and me, we′re in this ′til the end, oh

I think we′re on our our way
Through all the lows and highs
I need you by my side, singing
I think we′re on our way
To better days, better days, oh
Let′s say we turn the page
Move on from all the times
Should′ve laughed, not cried, feeling
What is there more to say? (say)
I think that we′re on our way

Together, we′ll weather
Many storms as family
That bond is forever
It can take almost anything
The love I feel for you grows everyday, yeah
The more we get to learn from our mistakes, yeah yeah

I think we′re on our our way
Through all the lows and highs
I need you by my side, singing
I think we′re on our way
To better days, better days, oh
Let′s say we turn the page
Move on from all the times
Should′ve laughed, not cried, feeling (ooh)
What is there more to say? (say, yeah yeah)
I think that we are on our way

Someday, soon, I′ll need advice
Hope you′re there to shed some light
And maybe one day, you′ll be wanting mine
And we can (we can) be there be for each other

I think we′re on our way
I think we′re on our way (ha)
I think we′re on our way
Let′s say we turn the page
Move on from all the times
Should′ve laughed, not cried
What is there more to say? (ooh)
I think that we′re on our way
I think we′re on our way
Through all the highs and lows
I need you by my side, yeah

I think we′re on our way
To better days, better days, yeah
Let′s say we turn the page
Move on from all the times
Should′ve laughed, not cried
What is there more to say? (no more to say)
I think that we are on our way

Yeah.
Ohh.

No more to say.
No more to say. Yeah.

No more to say. Ha.

Woah woahh

Have I been blind?
For the first time in my life I feel I′ve opened up my eyes
Since you′ve arrived like an angel from the sky
I′m on a spiritual high

So don′t you ever go away
I could never face
Losing you would kill my faith
In a higher place

What kind of world
Would it be without you
I couldn′t breathe without you here
What kind of world
Would I see without you
I can′t dream without you here

Yeah woah yeah

Beautiful boy
How on earth did I do something worth deserving you?
My better half
How I cherish through and through every part of you
I do

Loving you′s made me hope
Now I belong
I found my heart
Promise me we′ll always stay
The way we are today

What kind of world
Would it be without you
I couldn′t breathe without you here
What kind of world
Would I see without you
I can′t dream without you here

Hey-yeah

I can′t ever imagine
If this never would happened
I thank God everyday
Almost lost you forever
But I always remember (remember)
That you′re my saving grace

What kind of world
(what kind of world)
Would it be without you
(oh without you)
I couldn′t breathe without you here
(ohh here)
What kind of world
(what kind of world)
Would I see without you
(oh see without you)
I can′t dream without you here
(dream without you here)

Yeah. Yeah.
Ooh, Ooh, Ohh

If you see me walking down the street
Or in the pages of your magazine
Looking just a little differently
Showing off a softer side of me

They saying I′m looking like a lady
They saying that love is going to change me
But don′t be fooled by everything you see
Gotta let the naughty in me free

There′s a woman inside of all of us
Who never quite seems to get enough
Trying to play by the rules is rough
Cause sooner or later something′s going to erupt

Cause I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirrty degree (still got it)
And if you want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me
I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirrty degree (oh yeah)
And if you want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me

No matter what you thinking of me, still dirrty
And if you′re still rolling with me, still got it
No matter what you thinking of me, still dirrty
Still got that freak in me

Why is a woman′s sexuality
Always under so much scrutiny?
Why can′t she do exactly as she please
Without being called a million things?

They say I′m not the girl they used to know (used to know)
′Cause I don′t always wear revealing clothes (oh)
But don′t be fooled a moment, I can′t hold (I can′t hold)
I′m letting loose, ′cause then I′d probably choke (don′t you know)

There′s some women out there who talk and stare
Who never seem to let down their hair
Like to past judgement, but they′re just scared
And don′t know what they′re missing, so they better beware

′Cause I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirrty degree (ooh)
And if you want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me
I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirrty degree (oh yeah)
And if you want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me (oh yeah)

No matter what you thinking of me, still dirrty
And if you′re still rolling with me, still got it
No matter what you thinking of me, still dirrty
Still got that freak in me

Don′t tell me to behave
′Cause I′ll never play that game (no)
Don′t tell me what to do
′Cause I′ll never be uptight like you
Don′t look at me that way
′Cause I ain′t never gonna change
And if you′re talking about my life
You′re only wasting your own time

If I want to wear lingere outside of my clothes
If I want to be erotic in my own videos
If I want to be provacative, well that ain′t a sin
Maybe you′re not comfortable in your own skin

I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirrty degree (in me)
And if you still want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me
I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirrty degree (in me)
And if you still want some more sexy
Still got freak in me

Ooh, yeah.
Hey, hey, hey.
Ohh. Ohh. Ohh. Ohh.

Well everybody got
an opinion now don't they
But it ain't no thing to me
It really don't make
any difference now to me
If you don't like
what you see
I pay no mind
to the negative kind
Cause that's
just no way to be
I don't stop to
please someone else's needs
Gonna live my life for me
I'm gonna keep on
Imma do my own thing
We all got a song
that we're meant to sing
And no matter what people
say or might think
I ain't goin' no place no
I'm here to stay
Gonna keep on doing my thing
Cause whether they love or
they hatin' on me
I'll still be the same girl
I used to be
Cause I ain't goin'
no place no
I'm here to stay
I'm here to stay
I'm here to stay
I've never been
the type to be shy
I know that some would say
I'm too headstrong
But I'd rather be a woman
who voices her mind
Whether you think
I'm right or wrong
And I know some people
wanna criticize
Makes 'em feel better
about themselves
So say what you will
Time will reveal
In the end that
I will be here still
I'm gonna keep on
Imma do my own thing
We all got a song
that we're meant to sing
And no matter what people
say or might think
I ain't goin' no place no
I'm here to stay
Gonna keep on doing my thing
Cause whether they love or
they hatin' on me
I'll still be the same girl
I used to be
Cause I ain't goin'
no place no
I'm here to stay
Gotta get up
Keep my head up
Gonna keep on turnin' it up
Never let up
If I keep steppin' it up
Imma prove that I ain't
ever gonna be stopped
Like it or not
Gotta get up
Keep my head up
Gonna keep on turnin' it up
Never let up
If I keep steppin' it up
Imma prove that I ain't
ever gonna be stopped
Like it or not
No matter the pressures
that face me
I believe I believe
they will see
I'll never let
anyone break me
All your doubt can do now
is strengthen me
And life it ain't
always that easy
Gotta fight to see
past the boundaries
Crossin' the lines
I will define every time
That forever is mine
I'm gonna keep on
Imma do my own thing
We all got a song
that we're meant to sing
And no matter what people
say or might think
I ain't goin' no place no
I'm here to stay
Gonna keep on doing my thing
Cause whether they love or
they hatin' on me
I'll still be the same girl
I used to be
Cause I ain't goin'
no place no
I'm here to stay
I'm gonna keep on
Imma do my own thing
We all got a song
that we're meant to sing
And no matter what people
say or might think

I'm here to stay
Gonna keep on doing my thing
Cause whether they love or

I'll still be the same girl
I used to be
Cause I ain't goin'
no place no
I'm here to stay

It seems like a lifetime
Since I felt like a prisoner
of my dreams

It took such a long time
For me to realize
just how to be
And to listen to me
Don't go thinkin'
I'm not thankful
Cause me I've got my hands
full of good things

And I hope I can give back
A little bit of
what you've given me

So thank you
For standing
Right by me
So thank you
For being
Behind me
And watching me grow
And lettin' others know
That you'll still believe
in what I'll be

Some people have said things
In times about me
that weren't always true

But you've always been there
To give that extra love
to pull me through
To do what I gotta do
Cause there'll always
be those ups and downs
But you always seem to
stick around
And see
See me through to believe
And I hope I can keep back
A little bit of
what you've given me
Ya give me all that I need
So thank you
For standing
Right by me
So thank you
For being
Behind me
And watching me grow
And lettin' others know
That you'll still believe
in what I'll be
It took a while 'till
I could do what I wanted
And now I'm so happy
that I started
where I started
I'm thankin' god
that I can be in a position
To do my own thing now
And make my own decisions
And so I'm thanking you
For being true
And standin' by me
through and through

Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls
Step right up, step right up
Come closer, you won′t believe your eyes
Behind this curtain,
Witness something you′ve never seen before,
Heard before, dreamt before
The most amazing show on earth

La la la la la la la
It′s the most amazing show on earth
La la la la la la la

Do you want to be widely entertained?
People to know your name?
Do you crave fame?
Well they say ″things aren′t always what they seem to be″
Even your greatest fantasies
You won′t believe your eyes
Won′t even recognise
The wonderment that lies
Behind the shimmer and the lights

Is it true what they say?
Is it all just fun and games?
Or is there more behind the makeup,
And the faces full of paint?

I ask you, do you want to come and play?
Hahahaha
Get the world to come and play
Hahahaha

So sit back, relax, fasten your seatbelts
It′s going to be a bumpy ride to the other side

Woah, ohh

Welcome to the greatest show
Greatest show on earth
You′ve never seen before
Here the fairytale unfolds

What′s behind the smoke and glass?
Painted faces, everybody wears a mask
Are you selling them your soul?
Well you′ll be left out in the cold

Is it all blue skies
Fun and games untill you fall
Then you′re left without anyone at all
You′re riding on a shooting star
With a smile upon your face
But soon the shine fades

And you′re left out all alone
Wondering where did they all go?
Oooh

Been jaded, hated,
Who′ll be around when the limelight′s faded?
Been shut down, pushed out
Made to smile when I wanted to frown

Always taking a bow
Always working the crowd
Always breaking new ground
Always playing the clown
Who′ll be sticking it out?
Who′ll be staying around
When the lights go down?

(whistles to fade)

Tarzan and Jane were swingin’ on a vine”
Candyman, Candyman
“Sippin’ from a bottle of vodka double wine”
Sweet sugar, candyman

I met him out for dinner on a Friday night
He really had me workin’ up an appetite
He had tattoos up and down his arm
There’s nothin’ more dangerous
Than a boy with charm

He’s a one-stop shop
Makes the panties drop
He’s a sweet-talkin’, sugar-coated candyman
A sweet-talkin’ sugar-coated candyman

He took me to the Spider Club at Hollywood and Vine
We drank champagne and we danced all night
We shook the paparazzi for a big surprise
The gossip tonight will be tomorrow’s headline

He’s a one-stop shop
Makes my cherry pop
He’s a sweet-talkin’, sugar-coated candyman
A sweet-talkin’, sugar-coated candyman
(Repeat above)

Well by now I’m getting all bothered and hot
When he kissed my mouth he really hit the spot
He had lips like sugar cane
Good things come for boys who wait

(Tarzan intro repeat)

He’s a one-stop gotcha hot
Makin’ all the panties drop
Sweet sugar candyman
He’s a one-stop got me hot
Makin’ my uh pop
Sweet sugar candyman
He’s a one-stop get it while it’s hot
Baby don’t stop
Sweet sugar

He got those lips like sugar cane
Good things come for boys who wait
He’s a one-stop shop
With a real big uh

He’s a sweet-talkin’, sugar-coated candyman
Sweet-talkin’ sugar-coated candyman (x3)
Candyman (x8)

“Tarzan and Jane were swingin’ on a vine
Sippin’ from a bottle of vodka double wine
Jane lost her grip and a-down she fell
Squared herself away as she let out a yell”

Come here big boy
Ahh, mmmhmm, yeah

You′ve been a bad bad boy
I′m gonna take my time, so enjoy
There′s no need to feel no shame
Relax and sip upon my champagne
′Cause I wanna give you a little taste
Of the sugar below my waist, you nasty boy

I′ll give you some oh-la-la
Voulez vous coucher avec moi?
I got you breaking into a sweat
Got you hot, bothered, and wet

Nasty naughty boy

Now you better give me a little taste
Put your icing on my cake
You nasty boy

And yeah

In my pocket full of tricks
Got some secrets up

Got places you never been
I'll take you
out of your skin
Well I'm trouble trouble
trouble baby
Always knockin' at my door
Yeah I'm a whole lotta
lotta trouble babe
Since the day
that I was born

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today, ooh, ooh

I would hold you in my arms, I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done, forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there

Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this, ooh

Would you tell me I was wrong? Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me? Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do to have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, oh

If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you
Since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you

Lord have mercy on my soul
For I have walked
a sinful road
And I'm down on my knees
Lord have mercy on me please

Jesus
I must confess
That in all my loneliness
I've forsaken and
I've sinned
Leavin' fragments of a man
so broken

I could tell you
what I've done
Or should I tell you
where I went wrong
Well the more
that I start to play yeah
My deceitful evil ways
Keep growin' stronger
by the day
Oh Lord have mercy
on my soul
For I have walked
a sinful road
So I'm gonna get down
on my knees
Beg forgiveness
to help set me free
Lord have mercy on me please
Mother Mary full of grace
In my weakness
I've lost faith
I've been careless and
I have been warned
And the devil
inside me is torn
God Bless the man
that I have scorned
Oh Lord have mercy
on my soul
For I have walked
a sinful road
So I'm gonna get down
on my knees
Beg forgiveness
to help set me free
Lord have mercy on me please

So don't let me
fool around no more
Send your angels down to
guide me through that door
Well I've gone and
confessed my regrets
And I pray
I'm not held in contempt
I'm so lost and I need you
to help me repent
Oh Lord
Have mercy on my soul
Oh I'm beggin'
I'm pleadin'
I'm needin'
I want you to know
So I'm down upon my knees
Oh Lord
I need forgiveness
I need forgiveness
From you

It's not so easy loving me
It gets so complicated
All the things you gotta be
Everything's changing
But you're the truth
I'm amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through

And when I'm about to fall
Somehow you're always waiting with
Your open arms to catch me
You're gonna save me from myself
From myself, yes
You're gonna save me from myself

My love is tainted by your touch
Well some guys have shown me aces
But you've got that royal flush
I know it's crazy everyday
Well tomorrow maybe shaky
But you never turn away

Don't ask me why I'm crying
'Cause when I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smiling
You always save me from myself
From myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself

I know it's hard, it's hard
But you've broken all my walls
You've been my strength, so strong
And don't ask me why I love you

It's obvious you tenderness
Is what I need to make me
A better woman to myself
To myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself

So many years have gone by
Always strong, tried not to cry
Never felt like I needed any man
To comfort me in life
But I'm all made up today
A veil upon my face
But no father stands beside me
To give his bride away

Well I'm standing in the chapel
Wearing my white dress
I have waited for this moment
With tears of happiness
Here I leave behind my past
By taking the chance
I've finally found the right man

Thoughts racing fast through my mind
As I'm gazing down the aisle
That my future will mend the memories
Torn between father and child

My emotions overload
'Cause there is no hand to hold
There's no shoulder here to lean on
I'm walking all on my own

Here I go

Now I'm standing at four corners
To have and to hold
Now my love, you stand beside me
To walk life's winding road
And I owe it all to you
For taking the chance
You've shown me there's a right man
'Cause I never knew a right man

Well I'm standing in the chapel
Ready to confess
That I've waited for this moment
With tears of happiness
Now I leave behind my past
By taking the chance

Ohh

Well I'm standing at four corners
To have and to hold
Now my love, you stand beside me
To walk life's winding road
And I owe it all to you
For taking the chance

And one day my little girl
Will reach out her hand
She'll know I found the right man
