Tonight (Track #2)

Remember when we said, girl, please don’t go, 
and how I’d be loving you forever, 
taught you ’bout hangin’ tough as long as you got the right stuff, 
Didn’t we, girls? Ooh; Didn’t we, girls? Aah

[Chorus]
Well, I guess, it’s a brandnew day after all 
every time we hear the curtain call, 
see the girls with the curls in the hair, 
the buttons and the pins and the loud fanfares. 
Tonight, tonight. 

Remember when we traveled around the world, 
there were a lot of people and girls, 
fan mail from everywhere showed us how you care, 
Didn’t we, girls? Ooh; Didn’t we, girls? Aah

[Repeat Chorus]

[Spoken:] Sounds good, hey fellas, let’s do it, here we go. 
La-la-la-la-la-la tonight, la-la-la-la-la-la tonight. 
Tonight, tonight [repeat & fade]

Baby, I Believe In You (Track #3)

Baby, I believe in you and every little thing you do. 
Every time we kiss it always feels like this, I believe in you. 
Baby, I believe in us and every little inch of our trust. 
Whether I’m around, you never let me down, I believe in you. 

Maybe I might sound crazy for the way I feel about you, 
but, baby, you’re just so amazing and I’m so in love, girl, with you. 
I believe in you. 

Maybe I …. 
Oh, girl, there’s something about you. 
Maybe I …. 

I believe in you, I believe in you, all the things you do, I believe in you

Call It What You Want (Track #4)

I can tell you’ve been watching me, girl, I’ve been watching you too. 
I got the feeling you want my love, I must admit, I want your love too. 
Call it what you want, baby, girl, I call it love. 
Call it what you want, darling, I still call it love. 

You know there’s something about you, girl, what it is it’s kind a hard to say. 
I only wish we could get away, give me love, and I’ll lead the way. 
Call it…. 

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. 
It’s so groovy just to be with you. 
It’s so good, babe, just to dance or anything that you wanna do. 
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. 
I can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel that love, girl. 
It’s so groovy just to be with you. 
It’s so good, babe, just to dance or anything that you wanna do. 
Call it what you want, I’ll still call it love. 
Call it anything that you want to, girl, I’ll still call it love. 
You can call it this, you can call it that, you can call it anything, girl. 

Call it…. [repeat chorus & fade]

Let’s Try Again (Track #5)

I’ve heard of true loves that lasted forever, I guess there is a way, 
and I’ve heard of true loves that needed each other more and more each day. 
What is love when there’s no one that cares? 
Next time you need my love I’ll be there, be right by your side. 
Let’s try it again, try it again, let’s try it again, 
my love for you, it has no end. 
Let’s try it again, ’till the end, all because I love you. 

I’ve heard of two loves that stayed with each other, 
didn’t wander through the night, 
and I’ve heard of two loves that prayed for each other, 
didn’t argue, fuss or fight. 
Now I know just what love’s all about. 
Next time you need my love I won’t doubt, doubt your love again. 
Let’s try…. [repeat & fade]

Happy birthday to you, this is your day
On this day for you, we’re gonna love you in every way
This is your day, your day
Happy birthday to you, to you, to you

Happy birthday to you, you’re so young

Games (Track #7)

Somebody said somebody wouldn’t last too long, somebody’s still going strong. 
Somebody said somebody was all a front, somebody’s still talking junk. 
Think of what you say, think of what you do, 
think of what you try to put us through. 
We’re just singing our song. 
When you put us down, it ain’t gonna get you nowhere. 
We’re positive and no matter what you think we really care. 
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, games, games, games, games, games. 

Somebody said somebody worked too hard, somebody gotta charm some hearts. 
Somebody said everybody’s gonna wait and see, what’s gonna be is gonna be. 
Think of ….. 

Games, oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, games, games, games, games, games. 
[RAP:] Yeah, people keep on fronting on the Beantown posse, 
but it’s time to step up to the stand, 
’cause we ain’t going out like that. 
Back, huh, stronger than ever, did you think we’d sever? 
Never, we’re too clever to be taken down clown 
by your ignorant state of mind, I ain’t blind but 
every time I look I find you dissin’ a mission that 
strictly be righteous, we gotta fight this so now I think I might just 
take a stand, man, like never before, and I’m sure 
that we’ll endure so now it’s time to even the score 
I hear you knocking me but you ain’t shocking me 
’cause jealousy is telling me that you’re just jocking me 
so keep on talking skee, with pride I’m walking see, 
because on anybody’s block is where I’m gonna be rockin’ gee. 
Don’t play those games, oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, stop playing those games.

Time Is on Our Side (Track #8)

Girl, there’s more to love than meets the eye, 
girl, there’s more to what I feel inside. 
And if I told you, would you be my girl, for you I’d travel round the world. 
Time is on our side, girl, you’re my one true love, girl, 
we’ve come too far to ever be just friends. 
Time is on our side, girl, let’s show the whole world, 
love is the answer and time is our closest friend. 

If I sent you flowers, would you walk away, 
or would it be enough to make you stay? 
Even though we’re young, girl, one thing’s for sure, 
in time our love will endure. 
Time is … 

Babe, what would you say, time brings us closer every day. 
Time is … [repeat and fade]

Where Do I Go From Here (Track #9)

Where do I go from here? Do I tell you I still love you? 
And where do I go from here? Do I tell you I still miss you? 
Can’t you see, you’re a part of me? 
Don’t you know, I can’t let you go? 
My problems are few when I am with you, what should I do? 
I don’t know, I don’t know. 

Where… 
Picture me not loving you, picture you, what you’re going through. 
My problems…. 

Where… 
Where do I go, where do I go from here? 
Where do I go, where do I go from here? 
Tell me do I tell you that I love you, 
tell me do I tell you that I need you, 
where do I go from here? 
Tell me… [repeat & fade]

Stay With Me Baby (Track #10)

[Spoken:] Yeah, man, oh, we’re going to have some fun with this one, man, 
and I don’t know where it’s gonna take us, 
but it’s a long way from Boston, man, here we go. 

Stay with me baby, stay with me baby, me whole life long. 
Stay with me baby, stay with me baby, I can do you no wrong. 

Sure me saw you walking down the street, 
you were looking so good, I said you were looking so sweet, 
then me didn’t know what to say, all I know is that you’re 
brightening up a beautiful day, ah. 

[Spoken:] Oh, yeah, wer’re groovin’ now, man, oh, yeah! 

Nobody can tell me my baby’s not for real, 
they don’t know just how she feels, 
what a girl, me pretty little thing, oh! 

Stay…. 

I would never repay you for the love you’ve given to me, 
me play every day and stay with me for eternity. 
The only thing that we know for sure, me could never ever doubt you, ah. 

Nobody can tell me my baby’s not the best, 
she’s the best, oh, she’s so fresh, what a girl me pretty little thing, oh! 

Stay….. [repeat & fade]
We be jammin……

Funny Feeling (Track #11)

All I asked for was your hand, love was in demand, how was I to understand?
Then you told me how you feel, it was so unreal, guess, it’s time for
me to reveal the way I feel.

Gotta funny feeling that you don’t even, even love me (Don’t love me)
Gotta funny feeling that you don’t even, even care.

We assured each other at the start, forever in our hearts,
you and I would never part.

Then you told me…
Gotta funny … [repeat & fade]

Never Gonna Fall In Love Again (Track #12)

[Rap:]Never gonna fall in love again, never gonna fall in love again,
never gonna fall in love again, never gonna fall in love again.

You said you’d never ever try to break my heart,
you told a lie, you tore my love apart.
You said you’ve always wanted someone just like me,
you let me down, baby, you set me free.
Whether it’s wrong, whether it’s right, won’t take me through the night,
told me that you loved me so and you’d never let me go.
You played the game you’re not the same, I never thought you’d ever change,
if it’s got to be this way I’m never gonna fall in love.
Never gonna fall in love again, never gonna fall in love again,
never gonna fall in love again, never gonna fall in love.
Never gonna fall in love again, never gonna fall in love again,
never gonna fall in love again, never gonna fall in love. (Spoken:) Break one!

When I heard this crazy stuff about this other guy,
I didn’t believe it, had to see it in my eyes.
When I saw you and him, you passed me by,
he’s not your friend, he’s the other guy.
Whether…
Break two!

[Rap:] I’m never gonna fall ’cause I fell, loving you for me was like hell.
How could you play me like a champ, a tramp, a cramp?
Girl, you did me worse than a food stamp.
You told me I could trust you, if I didn’t I would crush you,
but never thought that one day I’d bust you
walking in the sand hand in hand with another man
I know your game plan and now I understand
love so deep is like sleep and it will leave you blind
but I see how you’re living so baby next time
what’cha gonna do now that the tables are turned around
I’m living swell and now you wanna be down
Step off ’cause baby I’ve learned if you’re
messing with fire then you’re gonna get burned
You still look dope but a dope I’m not
I can’t get with you ’cause you’re too hot

Never gonna … [repeat & fade]
