SUGABABES: JUNGLE
KEISHA / MUTYA / SIOBHAN
THREE Sugababes brit lányegyüttes harmadik stúdióalbuma, amelyet az Island Records adott ki 2003. október 27-én. Négy kislemezt generált, amelyek a világ különböző részein kerültek listára; az első, a "Hole in the Head" a csoport harmadik első számú kislemeze lett az Egyesült Királyságban. A Sugababes három tagja egy-egy „szóló” dalt vett fel az albumra: „Whatever Makes You Happy” (Keisha Buchanan), „Sometimes” (Heidi Range) és „Maya” (Mutya Buena). A Three a harmadik helyen debütált a brit albumlistán.
HÁTTÉR
Miután megjelent a "Shape", a negyedik és egyben utolsó kislemez az Angels with Dirty Faces (2002) sikeres előző albumukról, a csoport bejelentette, hogy visszamentek a stúdióba, hogy olyan producerekkel kezdjenek dolgozni a következő albumon, akikkel az előző albumon is dolgoztak, mint például Jony Rockstar és Xenomania. Átmentek Amerikába, hogy olyan producerekkel dolgozzanak együtt, mint Linda Perry és Diane Warren, akik a „Too Lost in You” című balladát írták. Céljuk volt, hogy Amerikában is népszerűsítsék az új albumot. A lányok közösen írták és rögzítették saját számaikat az új albumon – Keisha „Whatever Makes You Happy”, Heidi „Sometimes”, Mutya pedig „Maya”, egy dal a nővéréről, aki váratlanul meghalt. A Sugababes később bejelentette a vezető kislemezt, a "Hole in the Head"-t és annak október 13-i megjelenési dátumát. A brit kiadás egy speciális kiadás volt, két extra számmal, a "Twisted"-vel és a "Busterrel". Kezdetben a Woolworths által az Egyesült Királyságban kínált digitális letölthető verzió véletlenül tartalmazta a „Whatever Makes You Happy” korábbi demóverzióját, de a hibát gyorsan kijavították. A streaming szolgáltatásokban a „Whatever Makes You Happy” alternatív változata váltotta fel az eredeti albumverziót.
KRITIKA
Három pozitív értékelést kapott a kritikusoktól, akik dicsérték az albumon található kísérleti, új urban és hip hop hangzásokat. Alan Braidwood a BBC-től pozitívan értékelte a Three-t, és kijelentette, hogy az album az Angels with Dirty Faces-től származik, és friss és izgalmas albumnak nevezte. Az új hangzást is dicsérte az albumon. Ross Hoffman, az AllMusictól úgy jellemezte az albumot, mint "dallamos, R&B-be illő dance-pop, friss hangzású, de elérhető produkciókkal, valamint a nagy, lógó balladák egészséges szeletével, kibővített stíluskínálattal."

KISLEMEZEK
HOLE IN THE HEAD Sugababes brit lányegyüttes által előadott dal, amelyet 2003. október 13-án adtak ki harmadik stúdióalbumuk, a Three vezető kislemezeként. Írta: Brian Higgins, Miranda Cooper, Tim Powell, Nick Coler, Niara Scarlett, Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena és Heidi Range, a társproducerek pedig Higgins és Jeremy Wheatley. A dalt a kritikusok elismeréssel fogadták, és kereskedelmi sikert aratott, és az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistájának élére került. Az Egyesült Királyságon kívül a kislemez tíz másik országban a toplisták első tíz helyezettje között ért el csúcsot. Ez lett az egyetlen kislemezük, amely felkerült a slágerlistákra az Egyesült Államokban, a Billboard Hot 100 listán a kilencvenhatodik helyig jutott, és a Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs toplistáján.
TOO LOST IN YOU Az angol Sugababes lánycsapat dala harmadik stúdióalbumukról, a Three-ről (2003). Diane Warren amerikai dalszerző írta Patricia Kaas francia énekesnő "Quand j'ai peur de tout" ("When I'm Afraid of Everything") című dalának angol nyelvű feldolgozásaként (amelynek francia szövege Jean-Jacques Goldman volt). A dal producere az ausztrál zenész, Rob Dougan Andy Bradfielddel együttműködve, és a hollywoodi Realsongs stúdióban rögzítették. A "Too Lost in You" eredeti verziója kiemelkedően szerepel a 2003-as Love Actually című film filmzenéjében, és kifejezetten Richard Curtis választotta a filmhez. Ez egy pop rock és R&B ballada, amely zenekari zenei feldolgozásból és sötét harmóniákból áll.
A "Too Lost in You" 2003. december 15-én jelent meg az Egyesült Királyságban az album második kislemezeként, és egy új mixet tartalmazott a produkcióhoz. A legtöbb kritikus kedvező kritikát kapott, akik dicsérték Sugababes teljesítményét, és a 2000-es évek egyik legjobb poplemezének tartották. A dal kereskedelmileg sikeres volt világszerte, és bejutott az első tízbe Hollandia, Norvégia, Svájc és az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistáján. A kislemez videoklipjét Andy Morahan rendezte, és a londoni Stansted repülőtéren forgatták két napon keresztül. A Sugababes minden tagja egy repülőtéri emberrel szerepel.
IN THE MIDDLE Sugababes angol lányegyüttes dala, amelyet 2004. március 22-én adtak ki harmadik stúdióalbumuk, a Three (2003) harmadik kislemezeként. A Sugababes-ék ihletet kaptak a dal megkomponálására egy éjszakai kiránduláson átélt különböző helyzetek alapján; Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Niara Scarlett, Shawn Lee, Lisa Cowling, Andre Tegler, Phil Fuldner és Michael Bellina közreműködésével írták. Higgins, Xenomania és Jeremy Wheatley készítette a dalt. Az "In the Middle" egy dance-pop és funk hatású lemez, amely a német DJ Moguai "U Know Y" című dalának mintáját tartalmazza.
A dalt a kritikusok dicséretben részesítették, és dicsérték a produkciót és a vonzerejét, és jelölték a legjobb brit kislemez kategóriában a 2005-ös BRIT Awardson. A kislemez Magyarországon, Hollandiában és az Egyesült Királyságban a top 10 közé jutott. Ausztráliában, Ausztriában, Németországban, Írországban és Svájcban is az első negyven közé ért. Matthew Rolston rendezte a dal klipjét, amelyet a londoni Pinewood Studiosban forgattak. Zöld képernyő effektust és varázslatos beállításokat tartalmaz a videó környezetéhez.
CAUGHT IN A MOMENT Az angol Sugababes lánycsapat dala a Three (2003) harmadik stúdióalbumáról. 2004. augusztus 23-án jelent meg az Egyesült Királyságban az album negyedik, egyben utolsó kislemezeként. A dalt a csoport tagjai írták Karen Poole-nal, Marius De Vries-szel és producerével, Jony Rockstarral együttműködve. A "Caught in a Moment" egy downtempós pop, soul és R&B ballada, amelyet zenekari zenei feldolgozás alátámaszt, és érzelmes dalszövegeket tartalmaz, amelyek a melankólia és a reménykeltés fogalmait dolgozzák fel. A szám vegyes értékelést kapott a kritikusoktól, akik ambivalensek voltak a balladiáját illetően.
Megjelenését követően a dal a csoport negyedik, egymást követő tízes slágere lett a brit kislemezlistán, míg nemzetközi szinten Írország, Magyarország és Hollandia kislemezlistáján az első negyven között ért el csúcsot. A fekete-fehér videoklipet Howard Greenhalgh rendezte, és Sugababes sziluettjei láthatók egy nagy képernyő mögött.

SUGABABES KEISHA MUTYA HEIDI
HOLE IN THE HEAD
Seven hours since you went away
Eleven coffees, Ricki Lake on play
But late at night when I'm feeling blue
I'd sell my ass before I think of you
Seven hours since you closed the door
Started a diet, got a manicure
Erased your number from my telephone
And if you call me, I won't be at home
They say, why you cry, for the guy, say goodbye (Run away)
Why you cry, for the guy, say goodbye (I said OK, cause)
Oh, boy, d'you miss me like a hole in the head?
Because I do, boy, and it's cool, boy
And oh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you, boy, such a fool, boy
Eleven hours on a brand-new day
I'm getting ready to go out and play
It's late at night, I'm caught in a groove
I'll kiss my ass before I'm feeling blue
Seven hours, what you calling for?
A bunch of flowers and I'll slam the door
You're in my face, sorry what's your name?
Takes more than begging to reverse my brain ('Cause)
Oh, boy, d'you miss me like a hole in the head?
Because I do, boy, and it's cool, boy
And oh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you, boy, such a fool, boy
I'm through with it, over it, not having it, crazy shit
Not feeling this, can't deal, I quit, no more, no more
I'm through with it, not having it, this crazy shit
Not feeling it, can't deal with it, no more, I quit, no more, no more
Breaking off the bun, a brand-new day has just begun
Just because you made me go "oh", doesn't mean I'll put up with you
Don't you dare turn back, can't you see I won't take that?
I ain't crying over you, better fill your head up like I told you
They say, why you cry, for the guy, say goodbye (Run away)
Why you cry, for the guy, say goodbye (I said OK, cause)
Oh, boy, d'you miss me like a hole in the head?
Because I do, boy, and it's cool, boy
And oh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you, boy, such a fool, boy (such a fool)
Oh, boy, d'you miss me like a hole in the head? (hole in the head)
Because I do, boy, and it's cool, boy (I do, yeah, it's cool)
And oh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you, boy, such a fool, boy (get out bed, I do boy, such a fool)
Run away, I said OK, 'cause, run away
WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY
You ain't gotta make it hard if it's easy
Applying pressure on the wound when it's bleeding
Hangin' with the guys cos it's just cool being me
Too much talking from the girls drive me crazy
You're telling me your definition of a pop star
You give a smile as you cover up your heart
So tell me what to say and I'll deliver it
I won't stop, can't stop, cause I'm living it
Whatever makes you happy
Is it crazy to be happy, cause it's doing it for me
Is it making you crazy that I'm happy?
Lately, you ain't doing it for me
Now let me break it down, tell you what it means to me
I don't wanna spend my time in the VIP
I gotta meet someone who doesn't need publicity
Cause your style is tired, it's depressing me
And you can justify everything
But it don't really matter when reality kicks in
So tell me what to say and I'll deliver it
I won't stop, can't stop, cause I'm living it
Whatever makes you happy
Is it crazy to be happy, cause it's doing it for me
Is it making you crazy that I'm happy?
Lately, you ain't doing it for me (You ain't doing it for me)
So whatever makes you happy
Is it crazy to be happy, cause it's doing it for me
Is it making you crazy that I'm happy?
Lately, you ain't doing it for me (You ain't doing it for me)
I'm finding out I don't wanna be in this place
Cause it's about the music, not the fame
So whatever makes you happy
Is it crazy to be happy, cause it's doing it for me (cause it's doing it for me)
Is it making you crazy that I'm happy?
Lately, you ain't doing it for me (You ain't doing it for me)
So whatever makes you happy
Is it crazy to be happy, cause it's doing it for me
Is it making you crazy that I'm happy (crazy, happy)
Lately, you ain't doing it for me (You ain't doing it for me)
So whatever makes you happy
Is it crazy to be happy, cause it's doing it for me
CAUGHT IN A MOMENT
Your stare swallows me in, and I can hardly breathe
I feel it's dangerous, could be deadly
Somehow I'm willing to do the things you want
Take me in your arms, spoon-feed my heart and
(Drip by drip (Harmony)) I'll take it all
(Sip by sip (Harmony)) I guess that it's
(Make or break (Harmony)) Boy here tonight
We're caught in a moment, and I won't let it go
I am falling deeper, losing my control
(Involved in a feeling (Harmony)) like the blink of an eye
And the silence it belongs to you and I
Broke through barriers, and passed a state of mind
I'm not scared no more, it feels divine
So take me in, and catch me when I fall
I'm waiting on the edge, uncut my soul
(Snip by snip (Harmony)) I'm oozing it
(Bit by bit (Harmony)) I'm taking it
(Step by step (Harmony)) Boy here tonight
We're caught in a moment, and I won't let it go
I am falling deeper, losing my control
(Involved in a feeling (Harmony)) like the blink of an eye
And the silence it belongs to you and I
Secretly I let it slip
Emotional I fall through it, all I know I'm losing my control
I'm down in way too far, and there's no turning back
And now I'm shedding all my fears, I know, I know
We're caught in a moment, and I won't let it go (Let it go)
I am falling deeper, losing my control (My control)
Involved in a feeling, like the blink of an eye (Involved in a feeling, eye)
And the silence it belongs to you and I
Oh-oh
SITUATION'S HEAVY
Making decisions about my life
It's up to me and I start to try, I can't keep running away
Trust my instincts right or wrong
Refusing help try to be strong, I'll fight this one today
Here's my point of view, wouldn't wanna offend you
Wanna do the best to prove, this young face ain't gonna lose
Seeming twisted but I refuse, don't mind advice but no help to choose
I'll just walk these tracks alone, use it as a stepping stone
Trying to face it all alone
Had to find my own way home
No matter how hard it may be, the situation's heavy
I'm not growing old before my time
Even when there's warning signs
That consequently I can see, the situation's heavy, heavy
How am I supposed to know
Where I want my life to go, if you always hold the plan
And maybe I will learn too late
But it will be my own mistakes, still i can say that's who i am
Here's my point of view, wouldn't wanna offend you
Wanna do the best to prove, this young face ain't gonna lose
Seeming twisted but I refuse, don't mind advice but no help to choose
I'll just walk these tracks alone, use it as a stepping stone
Trying to face it all alone
Had to find my own way home
No matter how hard it may be, the situation's heavy
I'm not growing old before my time
Even when there's warning signs
That consequently I can see, the situation's heavy, heavy
Here's my point of view, wouldn't wanna offend you
Wanna do the best to prove, push your face ain't gonna lose
Deep and twisted but I refuse, don't want advice but help to choose
I'll just walk these tracks alone, use it as a stepping stone
Trying to face it all alone
Had to find my own way home
No matter how hard it may be, the situation's heavy
I'm not growing old before my time
Even when there's warning signs
That consequently I can see, the situation's heavy, heavy
Trying to face it all alone
Had to find my own way home
No matter how hard it may be, the situation's heavy
I'm not growing old before my time
Even when there's warning signs
That consequently I can see, the situation's heavy, heavy
MILLION DIFFERENT WAYS
Dadadadada...
Every time I go down your street
I pray we'll meet, I look around and nothing's changed
But all this time has separated us
Press rewind and stop the tape
Let's play it from the start
And pause before we part, we're laying it down again
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you) to love me (to love me)
Dadadadada
And now we're face to face
We can't find words to communicate
We can't go on, hiding there's something wrong
Press rewind and stop the tape
Replay it from the past
Confusing what we had, can't try it out again
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me)
Nobody's ever come close to us
Thought that this time we might pull through
But the tape's distorting the tune, I can't hear you
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you) to love me (to love me)
TWISTED
My personality is quite rude
Only to the point where I'm on girly dues
It's so hard just being me
People asking questions, maybe they can't see
'Cos I've got my life controlled
How 'bout you deal with yours?
Don't talk what you don't know
You're in the back, I'm doing what I know
Me, myself I'm twisted, you won't know you missed it
And it's okay if I'm a little bit crazy, am I a little bit insane? Well, maybe
And it's just a little something, but I'd rather be me than nothing
And it's okay if I'm a little bit crazy, it doesn't mean I can't be a lady
Now I'm the kind of girl who knows her biz
Flirtatious in a way but it depends on how I feel
Still I keep it classy, stay with a guy that's real
'Cos if he ain't supporting, then he's not the real deal, check it
I'm forever getting misunderstood
Always been a leader, not a puppet, it's good
Before the music game, there was me and that's it
I've never been the one to fight but I won't take it
Me, myself I'm twisted, you won't know you missed it
And it's okay if I'm a little bit crazy, am I a little bit insane? Well, maybe
And it's just a little something, but I'd rather be me than nothing
And it's okay if I'm a little bit crazy, it doesn't mean I can't be a lady
I'm not the type to say "Just get out my face"
'Cos the girl that you think you see
Sometimes needs a little space to breathe
Please, it's not okay to invade my space
'Cos the smile that you see on show
Underneath it all, I need some time to grow
Me, myself I'm twisted, you won't know you missed it
And it's okay if I'm a little bit crazy, am I a little bit insane? Well, maybe
And it's just a little something, but I'd rather be me than nothing
And it's okay if I'm a little bit crazy, it doesn't mean I can't be a lady
WE COULD HAVE IT ALL
Slow day, might rain, I couldn't hear the weather man
Tight fit, don't sit, even when you loosen it
Your pace, no race, you kind of just get into it
Was it 'cause we, never sampled the flavoring?
Someday baby, we could have it all
(You on me, me on you smoking 'till we both turn blue)
A steady speed, and we could have it all
(Me on you, you on me you're kind of boring me to sleep)
But we keep falling over everything
When you and me, we could have it all
You're street smart with a big heart, you look like you're having it
Talk fast, words last, when you look like you're diggin' it
But I don't subscribe to the state that we're living it
Was it 'cause we, we could never handle the flavoring?
Someday baby, we could have it all
(You on me, me on you smoking 'till we both turn blue)
A steady speed, and we could have it all
(Me on you, you on me you're kind of boring me to sleep)
Better things are gonna come our way
You know we're gonna make it, through this change
We're sitting tight as a tourniquet
Believing we could, have it all someday
Someday baby, we could have it all
(You on me, me on you smoking 'till we both turn blue)
A steady speed, and we could have it all
(Me on you, you on me you're kind of boring me to sleep)
Someday baby, we could have it all
(You on me, me on you smoking 'till we both turn blue)
A steady speed, and we could have it all
(Me on you, you on me you're kind of boring me to sleep)
But we keep falling over everything
When you and me, we could have it all
CONVERSATION'S OVER
Conversation, oh, conversation, oh
Did it start with an obsession, was the writing on the wall?
I can see through your deception, through it all, I see clearly now
(For too long you've had it your way, for too long I've tiptoed round
Finally we're face to face boy, no drama now, I'll stand my ground (Harmony))
Now the conversation's over, and there's nothing more to say
I've had my time with you, so hear me now, I won't stay
It's my turn to walk away
No point in talking round in circles, or trying to read between the lines
I saw you dancing with the devil, I'm not blind, don't sympathise
(Cos for too long you've played your own game, for too long I've stood and cried
It's time I changed the combination, I'll be fine, won't change my mind (Harmony))
Now the conversation's over, and there's nothing more to say
I've had my time with you, so hear me now, I won't stay
It's my turn to walk away
I've found the strength to finally say it, what the walls have heard a thousand times
And I just don't want pain, I'm no longer insane, I've reconnected my mind
Now the conversation's over, yeah, and there's nothing more to say
I've had my time with you, so hear me now, I won't stay (I won't stay)
It's my turn to walk away
Now the conversation's over, yeah (it's over yeah)
And there's nothing more to say (to say to say)
I've had my time with you, so hear me now, I won't stay (I won't stay)
It's my turn to walk away

Sooner or later this drunken elevator, is gonna stop where I'm supposed to be
It's ten past eleven, I'm half way up to heaven, but I'm stuck in reality
Night's kind of funny, not in it for the money, but I know that I've got to pay
Love's gonna get ya, but only when I let ya, and I don't wanna turn away
Why can't the boys be the toys, that the girls want the boys to be?
And why can't the girls see the world, that the boys want the girls to see? Yeah
I'm caught up in the middle, jumping through the riddle
I'm falling just a little tonight (Uh-uh)
'Cause everybody's making trouble, someone's burst their bubble
But we'll be getting by alright (Uh-uh-uh)
Midnight is on the low, no front just sing the flow
We're speaking all in code, to get to the place we know
Sweat running down my back, I'm wearing leather, black
Falling into a trap, there is no turning back
I got my ladies with me, fellas get cool and freaky
But we've gotta keep them tame, cause we don't wanna play that game
Everybody from the block, needs to be feeling nice
It ain't no weakest party, but get up enjoy the ride
What you see and what you hear, can never be exposed
Acting out of character, is everything we know
I'm caught up in the middle, jumping through the riddle
I'm falling just a little tonight (Uh-uh)
'Cause everybody's making trouble, someone's burst their bubble
But we'll be getting by alright (Uh-uh-uh)
I'm caught up in the middle, jumping through the riddle

My mind's kind of tender, my body's tired
It's freaky but I'm ready for this bumpy ride
Everybody's tripping, it's all insane
But the voices in my head are saying it's okay
Trying to slow it down, I raced against the rush
Gotta keep it cool to avoid the crush
Adrenaline is spinning and it's starting to show
That I've moved it on, cause I've changed the flow
I'm caught up in the middle, jumping through the riddle
I'm falling just a little tonight (Uh-uh)
'Cause everybody's making trouble, someone's burst their bubble
But we'll be getting by alright (Uh-uh-uh)

TOO LOST IN YOU
You look into my eyes, I go out of my mind
I can't see anything, cause this love's got me blind
I can't help myself, I can't break the spell, I can't even try
I'm in over my head, you got under my skin
I got no strength at all, in the state that I'm in
And my knees are weak, and my mouth can't speak, fell too far this time
Baby, I'm too lost in you
Caught in you, lost in everything about you
So deep, I can't sleep
I can't think, I just think about the things that you do
You do, I'm too lost in you, too lost in you, oh
Well you whispered to me, and I shiver inside
You undo me and move me, in ways undefined
And you're all I see, and you're all I need
Help me baby (help me baby) help me baby (help me now)
'Cause I'm slipping away, like the sand to the tide
Flowing into your arms, falling into your eyes
If you get too near, I might disappear, I might lose my mind, oh
Baby, I'm too lost in you
Caught in you, lost in everything about you
So deep, I can't sleep
I can't think, I just think about the things that you do
You do, I'm too lost in you, too lost in you, oh
I'm going crazy in love for you baby, I can't eat and I can't sleep
I'm going down like a stone in the sea, yeah, no one can rescue me (No one can rescue me)
Oh, oh woah, oh, my baby, oh, baby, baby, baby
Baby, I'm too lost in you
Caught in you, lost in everything about you
So deep, I can't sleep
I can't think, I just think about the things that you do
You do, I'm too lost in you, too lost in you, oh
I'm lost in you, I'm lost in you, I'm lost in everything about you

BUSTER
Yeah, oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh

When you thought you would approach me, saying things that you shouldn't be
I'm not your average girl, you can't put your hands on this
So I move to my right, stay out my sight, oh don't trip no
So stop scratching around here, cause I feel a messy atmosphere
You never gonna get my love, is that clear? (oh yeah)
You can't creep up to me fool, I'm too focused to lose my cool
See you from a mile away (oh)
Buster trying to get his hands on me, spinning a lie to get me in a taxi
No 'disiac in your sting (NO!) you ain't getting a thing (NO!)
Buster trying to some dirty, trying to simulate a fantasy
No 'disiac in your sting (NO!) should I'll repeat it again (NO!)
A negative response is all that you're gonna get
But now I'm too turned off, you ain't gonna flip my switch
Cos I'm not your average girl, I'm not gonna take your game
So I move to the left, shadow my step, ain't got no shame
So what's that scratching around here, cause I feel a messy atmosphere
Never gonna get my love, is that clear? (oh)
You can't creep up to me fool, I'm too focused to lose my cool
See you from a mile away (oh)

SOMTIMES
Honestly, can I say what I mean
Don't you play with me, cos I'm a lady
When I look in your eyes, I can see through your charm
You're constantly twisted, I'm angry, alarmed
Your poison has taken control of my soul
But I'm onto you, boy, and I won't take no more
Sometimes I wonder where this feeling began
Deep in my heart right from the start
Tired and lonely I moved on from this pain
I'm starting again, I'm breaking the chain
Emotionally, it takes all of me
Apologies, but you don't really have a hold on me
There's a distance between us, and you take the blame
I know that you try but, at the stage of the game
I've started a new life, there's no turning back
With you now, don't you know, can't you see I got over
Sometimes I wonder where this feeling began
Deep in my heart right from the start right from the start
Tired and lonely I'll move on from this pain
I'm starting again I'm breaking the chain
Had to take matters into my own hands
Falling this deep wasn't part of my plans
If turning this around is what I have to do
To get through to you, my fire's burnt out it's true
Sometimes I wonder where this feeling began
Deep in my heart right from the start
Tired and lonely I'll move on from this pain
I'm starting again I'm breaking the chain
MAYA
Maya this song's for you, I have your name print tattooed upon my skin
There's so much to say to you, and where do I begin?
Cos all these prayers must be going somewhere, somewhere I can never trace
But it seems so far look in the stars, and the empty space
There are worlds within worlds, that keep rotating
And so many thoughts that flow through my mind
If this universe is really shrinking, we'll be together in time
I had a vision of this place, it looked like heaven, but the colors seemed to change
And no matter what I do yeah, it's slowly fading away
So all of these prayers have to be going somewhere, somewhere I can never trace
And one could get lost in all of these stars, and drift in space
There are worlds within worlds, that keep rotating
And so many thoughts that flow through my mind
If this universe is really shrinking, we'll be together in time
There are worlds within worlds, that keep rotating
And so many thoughts that flow through my mind
If this universe is really shrinking, we'll be together in time
There are worlds within worlds, that keep rotating
And so many thoughts that flow through my mind
If this universe is really shrinking, we'll be together in time
WHO
Every minute passes by, you're always talking, makes me cry
Finding out the reasons why, I'm needing space get out my ride
Talking about what I do, where I go, who I'm with and why I don't bring you
Think about the times you pushed me saying "baby please don't go"
You make me sick, yeah, yeah
I'll make you lost in times before you break my small
You claim you love me, tease me, leave me, hold me, please me
Get off I'm moving on, cause I'm trying to take control
But it's you talking dirty when I'm trying to sleep
And it's you, said you love me after just one week
Tell me who's always calling on my telephone
Now it's you trying to tell me we should take things slow
And you said: "don't go, don't go, please don't go
Please don't leave me, on my own
Don't go, don't go, please don't go
Please don't leave me, on my own"
You're creepin, sneaking, cheating, on me, leavin, this round
Gotta end the strike cause it ain't going down
Now you wanna come back, claim you give me a track
I forgive what you do then you want it back
I'm sick of playing this game, I ain't sticking with a claim fame
Stop this, right now, you crossed the line, so baby get the hell out
But it's you talking dirty when I'm trying to sleep
And it's you, said you love me after just one week (just one week yeah)
Tell me who's always calling on my telephone
Now it's you tryin to tell me we should take things slow (take things slow)
But it's you talking dirty when I'm trying to sleep (yeah)

Please don't leave me, on my own" (on my own)
Make up your mind boy, silly games you're always playing, have no time boy
To sit and chase you I ain't staying, well, thinking it's funny, well, you're spending money
And, every time you wanna get the upper hand remember
I'll be walking away looking cool with my, matching bag and the jewels that I took
Don't you ever say it's not necessary, then beg to come back, I ain't having that, oh whoa
But it's you talking dirty when I'm trying to sleep
And it's you, said you love me after just one week
Tell me who's always calling on my telephone
Now it's you tryin to tell me we should take things slow (take things slow)

Between you and me, oh, everything seems so cool, listen to my groove

Gotta be, all I wanna see, eh, no attitudes on getting things wrong
This is not a party song, this is not a party tune

This is not a party thing, this is not a party with you
If you wanna party with me, can't afford to get this wrong
If you wanna get this on, bring your party to me
SOMEONE IN MY BED
He's got me sick, wanna get it, I can't help it, I just need it
He's got me sick, wanna get it, I can't help it, I just need it
You're always on my mind
I wouldn't call it love but when we're in the club, we always move in time
And when it gets too much, I hurry home and rush

Now it's about that time
Undressing with a sign that later you'll be mine, we're caught into a vibe
With dirty thoughts that crosses over the stop sign
It's crazy that I feel, confused it's so surreal, what's happening to me
One touch and I'm just there, and I'm coming down the stairs
Bragging cause he made me go

COLDER IN THE RAIN
Feeling confused about the things that I have seen
Nothing seems to be real everything's a dream
Which causes me to question, what life really means
This is our world, can't take no more
I'm breaking, help me, tell me where to go
In time I'm gonna find my own sweet way
My tears will dry, I don't know why
It's getting colder in the rain
(But the summertime, got left behind (Harmony))
And there's no one else to blame
Sitting here thinking about the place we're going to
Not knowing where or what might happen if we both flew
Even though I know I've made mistakes, I will learn from every one
This is awful, can't take no more
I'm breaking, help me, tell me where to go
In time I'm gonna find my own sweet way
My tears will dry, I don't know why
It's getting colder in the rain
(But the summertime, got left behind (Harmony))
And there's no one else to blame
My tears will dry, I don't know why
It's getting colder in the rain
(But the summertime, got left behind (Harmony))
And there's no one else to blame
And there's no one else to blame
My tears will dry, I don't know why
It's getting colder in the rain
(But the summertime, got left behind (Harmony))
And there's no one else to blame
My tears will dry, I don't know why
It's getting colder in the rain
(But the summertime, got left behind (Harmony))
And there's no one else to blame
My tears will dry, I don't know why
It's getting colder in the rain
(But the summertime, got left behind (Harmony))
And there's no one else to blame
DISTURBED
Where's the hurt, for what it's worth, and where's the end improve?
Who am I, I've realised, one and one make two
Be prepared, stop running scared, cause they are watching you
Yes they are watching you
I don't know what it is with me
I'm falling from my own two feet
I feel a bitter end in sight, like a perfect world's been disturbed
I'm full of it but I can't speak
How does a body get so weak?
No color in my black and white, do the deepest times get much worse?
Who's your friend, no one else, ran from one mistake
On your own, a precious stone, left to wash away
Dim the lights, down a while, who am I to blame?
Yeah who am I to blame?
I don't know what it is with me
I'm falling from my own two feet
I feel a bitter end in sight, like a perfect world's been disturbed
I'm full of it but I can't speak
How does a body get so weak?
No color in my black and white, do the deepest times get much worse?
My perfect world it has been disturbed
I don't know what it is with me
I'm falling from my own two feet, I feel a bitter end in sight
I'm full of it but I can't speak
How's a body get so weak, no color in my black and white
(Do the deepest times get much worse?)
I don't know what it is with me
