HELP ME
(M. Gerrard/M. Vice-Maslin)

I wish I could define
All the thoughts that cross my mind
They seem too big for me to choose
I don't know which one's to lose
When I've fallen down so far
I think I'll never see your light
Bouncing off of me and
Shining down here from your eyes

Refrain:
Help me
Figure out the difference
Between right and wrong
Weak and strong
Day and night
Where I belong
Help me
Make the right decisions
Know which way to turn
Lessons to learn
And just what my purpose is here

It's like I got the signals crossed
With messages I can't decode
Half asleep, never wide awake ya know.
Complete overload
I got so much information here
And nothing I can really grasp
I should know the truth
But I'm too afraid so I have to ask

Refrain:
Help me (help me)
Figure out the difference
Between right and wrong
Weak and strong
Day and night
Where I belong
Help me (help me)
Make the right decisions
Know which way to turn
Lessons to learn
And just what my purpose is here

Wanna know you more than anything
I need you
In my every dream you're there for me
Do you love me
Oh I am
No angel
Just an ordinary man

Help me figure out
Why I'm stuck in the middle
Tryin to understand
Why I can't
Why does such a riddle
Get my eyes crossed
Thinkin so hard
And I know I'm missin the mark

Can you help me sort out
All this information
I'm just wrackin my brain
Payin attention
But I'm still lost
And at all costs
I,
I gotta know (I GOTTA KNOW! KNOW!!)

Refrain

I STAND FOR YOU
(N. Carter/B. Kierulf/J. Schwartz)

I'm gonna run forever
Say whatever
Take a chance in
What I believe in

I'm gonna have a tattoo
I'm gonna have an attitude
So tell my girlfriend
That I'm leavin

Because I'm free yeah
To say what I wanna say
And I'm feelin that it's time to get away

Refren:
Whoa whoa
We're gonna live forever
If we try
It's up to you
Yeah yeah
Nothing's gonna stop us now
We're young
I stand for you

See, I'm a taker
I'm not a begger
I'm tired of losin
I'm gonna lose it

I wanna ride a harley
On the highway
I'm gonna do it my way
Gonna do it my way

Because I'm free yeah
To say what I wanna say
And I'm feelin that it's time to get away

Refren

Pressure in the air
In my hair
People everywhere
Politics, don't care
I need to ease my mind

Try to find a way
Better day
But it's time to get away
Don't you care

To all my girls in the USA
Ya got a fine thing goin

Gotta drop the line
Gotta give em a shout

See you on the strip
Lookin too damn fine

Always on the road
Gimme lots of love at the Alamo

On the Ybor strip
Walkin on the street

Does she walk that way
Walk that way

She spends my money the American way

A real fine mama
With sex appeal
And Boston's got the ones I love
With the college girls
At the Aria
And I've always been down with the NYC
Cuz I love the legs
Of miss Liberty
Hawaii girls
Give me the lei
When I wanna treasure hunt
For some canday
And I still gotta get my desert fix
With some Vegas girls
Who know special tricks
To my Carolina girls
Lemme rock you all
To my Jersey girls
Chillin at the mall

She wears stars and stripes
And she's ready to play

Coast to coast
New York to LA

Girls in the USA
Shake what you got for me
From the east coast
To the west coast
All around the world we're singin
Girls in the USA
She'll make it hot when ya
Girls in the USA
Shake what ya got for me
From the north town
To the dirty south
All around the world we're singin

To all the girls
That I might've missed
Don't take offense
You're on my list
If you wanna yell
Lemme hear ya say
God bless the girls of the USA

IS IT SATURDAY YET
(N. Carter/S. Lunt/G. Clark/M. Brammer)

I'm a product of the nation
My Nintendo's on the floor
On a permanent vacation
Momma's bangin at my door

Na na na
She's screamin at me
But I don't wanna understand
And I go oooooooh
It goes on and on and on

Refrain:
Is it Saturday yet
Cuz I wanna get up
Is it Saturday yet
It just feels like a Saturday
Baby
Is it Saturday yet
I just wanna get up
Is it Saturday yet
Cuz it feels like a Saturday
Baby
Is it Saturday

I was raised by the television
Jerry Springer was my dad
And it wouldn't matter
If Martha Stewart was my mother
And Aaron Carter was my brother
Cuz I'd still be bad

I'm a product of the nation
I'm the last generation

Na na na
They won't stop screamin
And I don't think they understand
And I go oooooooh
It goes on and on and on

Refrain

Information overload
Comin through my mind
That I can't control
In the back of my head
Are the eyes that I see
That has got to be
A side of me
(repeat)

And I go ohhhhhhhhh
She's screamin at me
But I don't wanna understand

Refrain

MISS AMERICA
(S. Lee/M. Taylor/ALEENA)

Early morning
A small cafe
A beautiful vision
Comes my way

I watch her hips swing
When she walks
She leaves me speechless
When she talks

I see the sunshine through her dress
Makes my heart say
Take it off take it off
Let's get it on get it on
Light a fire so sweet
Make the man within me
Desire the woman in you

Refrain:
Miss America
Yes that's what you are
All my dreams they come true
When you do what you do
I just gotta get next to you
Miss America
Take me where you are
In the land of the free
Make a prisoner of me
Close my eyes and you're all that I see
Miss America

I see your beauty shine in every girl
Coast to coast
You're the queen of my world
You're the reason for this state I'm in
New York to LA
Skin to skin

Take it off take it off
Let's get it on get it on
Makes me strong
Makes me weak
Makes the man within me
LOVE the woman in you

Refrain

There's one thing you need to know
Oh woman
You rock my world cuz you're so
Beautiful

Miss America
Yes that's what you are
Miss America
Take me where you are

Refrain

HEART WITHOUT A HOME (I'LL BE YOURS)
(S. Mac/W. Hector)

Girl I love to watch you
You're like candy to my eyes
like a movie scence that you gotta watch just one more time
but that smile you're wearing
it's a beautiful disguise
it's just something you put on to hide the emptiness inside
and you seem so lonely...

But you don't have to anymore..

Refrain:
If you're a heart without a home,
rebel without a cause,
if you feel as though you're always stranded on the shore
like a thief in the night,
let me steal your heart away
baby if for reasons, what you're looking for..
I'll be yours

I'll be yours...

I'll be a new sensation
one you never had before
I got a feeling if I gave you some
You'd probably want some more
Did you know that baby..
you're the bluebird in my sky
I only wanna make you happy cause
I love to see you fly

And if you feel lonely...You don't have to anymore

Refrain

I'll be yours...I'll be yours..

I'll be the raft in the tide
I'll be yours
I'll be the truth in the light
And what's more
And no one opens the door
I'll be the hope that you're looking for..

Refrain

I'll be yours...

Bonus tracks to an album a NOW OR NEVER:

SCANDALICIOUS
(N. Carter/J. Bengtsson/D. Gibson/D. Carr)

Scandalicious...

I entered the party ready to leave
When somebody offered me "Sex On The Beach"
I turned around and got in shock at first
I got a feeling that she must have smelled my thirst
She must be...

CHORUS
Scandalicious, Oh yeah
Caught in a cat suit a package so cute
Scandalicious, Oh yeah
you know that, baby now I want you
BabyI can see you want me too
Hot and scandalicious
Oh, bedtime delicious

There's not any interest in touchin' our hearts
I guess we're just on to every other part
She started playin' tricks with my mind, oh yeah
You know this kinda thrill makes me blind, oh yeah
She must be...

CHORUS - repeat

We slowly reach into our minds
We're getting there and mothin's left behind
We're sayin' things without a word
It's so obscured, I'm stuck on this one line
All I want is to be hers
'Cos she's so...
CHORUS -repeat

Hot and scandalicious

WANNA SHOUT

(Produced and written by Teddy Riley)

Ignorance of people purchasing diamonds and necklaces,
And barely able to keep the payments up on their lessons,
And enrolled in a class and don't know who the professor is,
How low people go for the dough and make a mess of things,
Kids are murdering other kids for the fun of it,
Instead of using their mind or their fist, they put a gun in it.
Wanna be a part of a clique, don't know who's running it,
Tragedy on top of tragedy you know it's killing me.
So many people in agony, this shouldn't have to be,
Too busy focusing on ourselves and not His Majesty,
There has to be some type of change for this day and age,
We gotta rearrange and flip the page,
Living encaged like animals and cannibals,
Eating each other alive just to survive the nine to five,
Every single day is trouble while we struggle and strive,
Peace of mind's so hard to find.

Chorus
I wanna shout, throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about
All this makes me wanna shout
You know it makes me wanna shout
Throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about
All this makes me wanna shout, c'mon now

Problems, complications and accusations
Dividing the nations and races of empty faces
A war is taking place.
No substitution for restitution, the only solution for peace
Is increasing the height of your spirituality.
Masses of minds are shrouded, clouded visions
Deceptions and indecision, no faith or religion, how we're living.
The clock is ticking, the end is coming, there'll be no warning,
But will we live to see the dawn.

Bridge
How can we preach, when all we make this world to be
Is a living hell torturing our minds.
We all must unite, to turn darkness to light,
And the love in our hearts will shine.

We're disconnected from love, we're disrespecting each other
Whatever happened to protecting each other
Poisoned your body and your soul for a minute of pleasure,
But the damage that you've done is gonna last forever.
Babies being born in the world already drug addicted and afflicted,
Family values are contradicted.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, the pressure is building and I've had enough.

Chorus

END OF FOREVER

(N. Carter/G. Chambers)

Runnin’ from all the situations
Ya mess me up, bring me down
I’m waitin’ for the right moment
To lift me up, let you in my life, yeah
Don’t wanna live inside without your love
Cuz no one else can make me feel this way

To love me, is gonna take a lot
I can’t wait til the end of forever
Lead me, ain’t nothin gonna stop
Could it be tonight, or til the end of forever, oh yeah

Drivin’ on a runaway freeway
It’s killin’ me, I know it’s eatin you
Oh, dreamin’ so we can go there
All we need is you to show me the way, oh yeah
Can you see the fear of tears in my eyes
I know you feel me baby, I gotta make you mine, yeah

To love me, is gonna take a lot
I can’t wait til the end of forever
Lead me, ain’t nothin gonna stop
Could it be tonight, or til the end of forever

All my life I’ve been waiting for a sign to show me
To lead me to the other side

To love me, is gonna take a lot
I can’t wait til the end of forever
Lead me, ain’t nothin gonna stop
Could it be tonight, or til the end of forever

To love me, is gonna take a lot
I can’t wait til the end of forever
Lead me, ain’t nothin gonna stop
Could it be tonight, or til the end of forever
