"~~~The Call~~~"
(Max Martin/Rami)

Phone rings, girl picks up

Girl: "Hello?"
AJ: "Hi it's me! what's up baby? I'm sorry, listen I'm gonna be late tonight so don't stay up and wait for me ok?"
Girl: "Where are you?"
AJ: "Wait, wait, say that again?"
Girl: "Hello?"
AJ: "You're dropping out. I think my battery must be low. Listen if you can hear me we're goin' to a place nearby, alright? Gotta go" (click)

Let me tell you the story 'bout the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in misery
I was about to go home when there she was standing infront of me
I said hi! I gotta little place nearby...wanna go
I should have said no, someone's waiting for me
But I called my girl up and said

Chorus:
Listen baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late, don't stay up and wait for me
Say again, you're dropping out, my battery is low
So you know we're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

Two years gone, nothing's been won
I can't take it back, what's done is done
One of her friends found out that she wasn't the only one
And it eats me up from inside, that she's not by my side
Just 'cos I made that call and lied

Repeat Chorus

Let me tell you the story 'bout the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out just to end up in misery
I was about to go home when there she was standing infront of me
I said hi! I gotta little place nearby...gotta go

Repeat Chorus x2

(sound of phone hanging up)

He'll eat you up from inside
And then he doesn't wanna know

There's nothing that he's worthy of
He's just another playa'
Playin' in the name of love

To become your number one
Or was it all the promises of diamonds, pearls and party dresses

"~~~I Promise You (With Everything I Am)~~~"
(Dan Hill)

It's in the silences
The words you never say
I see it in your eyes
Always starts the same way
It seems like everyone we know
Is breakin' up
Hmm...does anyone ever stay in love...anymore?

Chorus:
I promise you
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you
'Til death do us part
I promise you
As a lover and a friend
I will love you like I never love again
With everything I am

Ooh
I see you look at me
When you think I'm not aware
You're searching for clues
Of just how deep my feelings are
How do you prove the sky is blue, the oceans wide
All I know is what I feel
When I look into your eyes

Repeat Chorus

Oh there are no guarantees
That's what you always said to me (mmm)
But late at night I feel the tremble in your touch baby
(Oh yeah)
Oh what I'm trying to say to you
I never said to anyone I promise (oh no)

Repeat Chorus x2

You're verything I am
Oh yeah (doo...)
With everything I am

***

"~~~It's True~~~"

Even a lover makes a mistake sometimes
Like any other
Fall out and lose his mind
And I'm sorry for the things I did
For your teardrops over words I said
Can you forgive me and open
your heart once again?

Chorus:
It's true
I mean it
From the bottom of my heart
Yeah, it's true
Without you I would fall apart

Whatever happened
I know that I was wrong, oh yeah
Can you believe me
Maybe your faith is gone
But I love you, and I always will
So I wonder if you want me still
Can you forgive me and open
you heart once again? Oh yeah

Repeat Chorus

I'd do anything to make it up to you
So please understand
And open your heart once again

Repeat Chorusx3

"~~~More Than That~~~"

I can see that you've been crying
You can't hide it with a lie
What's the use in you denying
The words you had is wrong

I heard him promise you forever
But forevers come and go
Baby he would say whatever
It takes to keep you alive
Tell the truth between the lines

Chorus:
Oh I will love you more than that
I won't say those words, then take them back
Don't give lonliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that

Baby you deserve much better
What's the use in holding on
Don't you see it's now or never
Just why you can't be friends
Baby knowing in the end

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
There's not a day that passes by
I don't wonder why we haven't tried
It's not too late to change your mind
And take my hand, don't say goodbye

Repeat Chorus x2

***


"~~~Not For Me~~~"

I was looking for something
On the crime scene where you're in too deep
I found a note with his number
It's just another clue (that leads to you)
I got a little suspicious, I got a feeling
That you ain't true to me
I should have known better than to buy your lies
(yourt sweet disguise)

You can fool anyone but I got eyes to see
That you're not for me, babe

Chorus:
No No Uh uh
Things will never be the same again with you
No No Uh uh
Now I know what it's coming to
No No Uh uh
Cause if you think that it's the way that love, should be
Let me tell you it's not for me
No, no

I don't want to be on, your screenplay
Just tell me did you rehearse on me?
I'll give you the story
Baby who's to win, me or him?
Caught in the middle
And I'm tired of your games of Hide and Seek
I'm getting the feeling that it's time for me to leave

You can fool anyone but I got eyes to see
That you're not for me, baby

Repeat Chorus

Yeah, yeah
I said no, no
No way
No no, No no
No

I had enough of your talk, your games
And it won't go away (won't go away)
Justify my reasons to say ( say, reasons to say)

Repeat Chorus x2

Well letme tell you it's not for me

"~~~How Did I Fall In Love With You~~~"

Remeber when, we never needed each other
The best of friends, like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be,
Alone

Those days are gone, now I want so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

Chorus:
What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble

I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight

Repeat Chorus

Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah

I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

Repeat Chorus x2

"~~~Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely~~~"
(Max Martin/Herbert Crichlow)

Show me the meaning of being lonely

So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

CHORUS:
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say, forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

REPEAT CHORUS

There's no where to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel things you never show

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are

REAPEAT CHORUS

Stay here don't put out the glow

If every minute it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man that I've become

Got nothing to hide no more

"~~~The Answer To Our Life~~~"
(Nick Carter/Brian Littrell/Howie Dorough/Kevin Richardson/AJ McLean)

Yeah
You see me sitting here
A smile upon my face
The time has come but you know that it's not too late
There's been too many things
Together we have seen
It's not too hard if we start to believe
And we're not gonna take anymore
Can we try to erase all the pain
So please

Show me a reason
Give a sign
Tell me the way
We fall outta line
Is it today or is it tonight
We'll find
The answer to our life

(Oh yeah)
The world is not at ease
We seem to hide the truth
Thinking there's only so much we can really do
It's up to you and me
To face our destiny
The journey's here so let's take the stand
And we're not gonna take anymore
Can we try (try) to erase all the pain
So please

Repeat Chorus

Tell me why we have to cry
And I try
When there's so many things we can do
To help this troubled
(Ooh) World, start a new

I need a reason
I need a sign
There's no turning back
I'm here by your side
Is it today or maybe tonight
We'll find
The answer to our life

Show me the way
Give me a sign
Tell me the way we fall outta line
Is it today
(Is it today)
Is it tonight
The answer to our life
