Drowning

Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
Girl you leave me breathless
But it's okay
Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say
I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough
Every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
Keep drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
Keep drowning in your love
Maybe I'm a drifter
Maybe Not
Cuz I am only safe here
Floating freely in your arms
I don't need another lifeline
Not for me
Cuz only you can save me
Oh can't you see
I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough
(don't seem like long enough yeah)
Every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
Keep drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
Keep drowning in your love
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
Coz you're the air that breathe
Every time I breathe I take you in
My heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
Keep drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
Keep drowning in your love


BACKSTREET BOYS: Baby I'm yours

Understand girl that my heart is in your hands
And I'm cautious of fallin' in love again
So please don't hurt me...I'm scared
Don't desert me
I'm afraid of being the fool again
Baby I'm yours if you want me
(Baby I'm, Baby Baby I'm yours. Baby I'm)

If you hurt me one more time
Please be mine
Baby I'm yours if you want me
(If you want my love)

BACKSTREET BOYS: Betcha by Golly Wow!
Sung by Howie Dorough in his concert solo.

There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time yosmile
Never thought that fairy tales came true
But they come true when I 'm near you
You're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise, and
CHORUS:
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I 've been waiting for forever
And ever will my Love for you
Keep growing strong
Keep growing strong
If I could, I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you
So I'll know where you are
Paint a rainbow in your favorite shades
To show I love you
Thinking of you
Write your name across the sky
Anything you ask, I'll try, 'cause
Repeat chorus
Baby, sometimes, a man can't find words to express
All the things he feels inside
But every just so often
The words of another
Who's truly in love
Seem to work out fine
To say I love you (I love you)
They say I'm thinkin' of you
Repeat chorus
I love you baby

BACKSTREET BOYS: By my Side

Tonight I saw an eclipse of your smile within my own reflection
On your look, so beautiful then
A tear ran down my face, all my memories erase
Oh, why'd you have to leave my side
Oh, why do all the rivers flow into the ocean?
And why does all the love in the world come straight from the heart?
And why does all the pain I feel come from deep inside?
Oh, all those questions I could have answered ...if you were by my side
Maybe something made me look at you,
Maybe something made me do what I had to do what I had to do
Maybe something made me talk to you,
Maybe something made me do what I should do
I want you by my side
(I want you by my side)
(I want you by my side)
Now everyday the pain I feel slowly fades away
And all the memories of you and me are always here to stay
What I'm asking, girl, is one more chance to let me in your life
Oh, girl, if you give me one more chance ...then I could be right by your side
Maybe something made me look at you
Maybe something made do what I have to do, girl
Maybe something made me talk to you
Maybe something made me do what I should do
I want you by my side
(I want you by my side)
(I want you by my side)


BACKSTREET BOYS: Can't Stop Thinking About you

Ohhhhh...
Mmmmmm...
You're in my mind all the time,
My thoughts are always of you
There are so many things that we promised
Each other that we would do
But since you went away,
My heart has been in so much pain
It seems that everything we've been through has been in vain
And I can't stop thinking of you,
And I wouldn't if I could
But I can't keep waking up with dreams of you
And you should have known
When you told me you loved me that you were deceiving
I have faith that the hurt that I feel
Deep inside will soon be leaving
But now I'm all alone,
And I can't stop thinking of you
To hold you in my arms once again is all I wanna do
And I can't stop thinking of you,
And I wouldn't if I could
But I can't keep waking up with dreams of you

BACKSTREET BOYS: Christmas Time
Written by J Wright/V Renn/J Smith.

There is something special
About this time of year
A Christmas feeling's everywhere
I just got home to join you
I've been away too long
But now I'm back
To share my love
Friends are really like
One big family
Filled with love
To last throughout the year
CHORUS:
Christmas time, time to share our love
Come and join the tidings to the world
Christmas time, the best time of the year
Yes, it's Christmas time
You and me together
Stay right in the park
Loving kissing
Straight from the heart
Snowflakes falling to you and me
A smell of chestnuts in the air
And Christmas lights
They gleam across the sky
Repeat chorus
Do you remember
Everything felt so nice
When I held you close to me
Do you remember
Those cold Christmas nights
When we saw the world in harmony
Repeat chorus
Christmas time, time to share our love
Come and join the tidings to the world
Christmas time, time to share our love
Come and join the tidings to the world
Repeat chorus to fade


BACKSTREET BOYS: Don't Leave me

CHORUS:
Don't leave me, 'cause you need me
I never wanna be without you
So don't leave me, 'cause you need me
I never wanna be without you
I woke up this mornin'
From a dream
That you were sayin' goodbye
We had a simple argument
But not enough to keep out
Each other's lives
BRIDGE:
I wanna be happy
But I can't be happy
If I can't be with you
'Cause you're my baby
My sweet honey
And no other girl will do
Repeat chorus
I can't seem to figure out
Just what went wrong with us
You must have thought I was selfish
But everything I did, I did for us
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
I can't eat or even sleep
'Till I have you
Back inside my world
My life won't be complete
Unless you stay my girl
Repeat chorus twice
Come on girl let me break it down
Don't leave me girl
Don't leave me
Don't girl
Don't leave (x4)


STING AND BACKSTREET BOYS: Don't Stand so Close to me
Performed at the Grammys 2000. Young teacher

The subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking
She's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand
Don't stand so
Don't stand
So close to me
Don't stand
Don't stand so
Don't stand
So close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don't stand
Don't stand so
Don't stand
So close to me
Don't stand
Don't stand so
Don't stand
So close to me
Loose talk in
The classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words
In the staff room
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to
Sake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabakov
Don't stand
Don't stand so
Don't stand
So close to me
Don't stand
Don't stand so
Don't stand
So close to me
Don't stand
Don't stand so
Don't stand
So close to me


BACKSTREET BOYS: Donde Quieras Yo Ire'
Spanish version of Anywhere for you.

Donde quieras yo ir, al fin del mundo llegar
Lo que quieras yo har sin preguntas sin porques
El mundo intero he de caminar por sentir tus besos
Mas alla del ancho mar, que el sol, la luna, el cielo
Siempre que tu amor me me lleve, no perdere la fe que eleve
Mi espritu en busca de tu amor
CHORUS:
Donde quieras yo ir, al fin del mundo llegar
Lo que quieras yo har sin preguntas sin porques
Tu amor por lo que puedo ver es lo que necesitar
Y algo que absolutamente se
Que, nena, donde quieras yo ir
Sola pensar que el sonar es perder mi tiempo
Y nunca habra de econtrar carino tan completo
Y cuando yo te conoc supe que eras para mi
Que sin tu amor no puedo ser feliz
Repeat chorus
Eh nena, mi cielo, mi vida, na oooh...
Eh nena, mi cielo
Repeat chorus


BACKSTREET BOYS: End of the Road
Boyz II Men cover.

(Spoken:)
Girl you know
We belong together
I have no time for
You to be playing
With my heart like this
You'll be mine forever
Baby, you just see
We belong together
And you that I'm right
Why do you play
With my heart,
Why do you play
With my mind?
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me
And leave me
And never say goodbye?
When I can't sleep at night
Without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try
I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh
I'd rather be dead
Spinnin' around and around
CHORUS:
Although we've come to
The end of the road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you
Come to the
End of the road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you
Girl, I know you
Really love me,
You just don't realise
You've never
Been there before
It's only your first time
Maybe I'll forgive you, hmm
Maybe you'll try
We should be
Happy together
Forever, you and I
Can you love me again
Like you loved me before
This time I want you
To love me much more
This time instead
Just come to my bed
And baby just
Don't let me
Don't let me down
Repeat chorus
(Spoken:)
Girl I'm here for you
All those times of night
When you just hurt me
And just run out
With that other fella
Baby I knew about it
I just didn't care
You just don't understand
How much I love you do you?
I'm here for you
I'm not out to go out and
Cheat on you all night
Just like you did baby
But that's all right
Hey, I love you anyway
And I'm still gonna
Be here for you
Till my dying day baby
Right now, I'm just in
So much pain baby
'Cause you just won't
Come back to me
Will you?
Just come back to me
(Lonely)
Yes baby my
Heart is lonely
(Lonely)
My heart hurts baby
(Lonely)
Yes I feel pain too
Baby please
This time instead
Just come to my bed
And baby just
Don't let me go
Repeat chorus twice


BACKSTREET BOYS: Every Breath you Take

Police cover
Performed at VH1's Men Strike back. Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone
I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night
I can only see your face
I look around but
It's you I can't replace
I keep crying baby please
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you


ELTON JOHN AND BACKSTREET BOYS: Friends Never Say Goodbye
Written by Tim Rice
From the Road to El Dorado Motion Picture Soundtrack. There isn't much I haven't shared

With you along the road
And through it all
There'll always be
Tomorrow's episode
Suddenly that isn't true
There's another avenue
Beckoning the great divide
Ask no questions, take no side
Who's to say who's right or wrong
Whose course is braver run
Still we are, have always been
Will ever be as one
What is done has been done for the best
Though the mist in my eyes might suggest
Just a little confusion about what I'd lose
Girl if I started over
I'd know I would choose
The same joy, the same sadness
Each step of the way
That fought me and taught me
That friends never say
Say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Suddenly that isn't true
There's another avenue
Beckoning the great divide
I would choose
The same joy, the same sadness
Each step of the way
That fought me and taught me
That friends never say
Say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye


SHANIA TWAIN AND BACKSTREET BOYS: From this Moment on

From this moment life has begun

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on, oh
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above

From (this) this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
