This Time - Melanie C

I've been practicing all day
Now the words I meant to say are gone
I promised that I wouldn't cry
Told myself I had to try and hold on
The truth, I lied
I hate myself inside
And why
I played the game and paid the price
I never look back
I never cry never try to wonder why
I'll be on my own
And never doubt, never shout or wonder how
I'll never be lonely until
This time, this time, this time
This time I will

I've been wide awake all night
There's no sign of sleep inside my mind
The headlight shadows scan my wall
I convince myself you'll call in time
The truth, I lied
The girl in me has died
And why
I played the game and paid the price
I never look back...
This time I will be yours completely
This time I'll make sure you don't hate me
This time I know, this time I can and this time I will
I never look back...
I've been practicing all day
Now the words I meant to say are gone.

If That Were Me - Melanie C

Where do they go and what do they do?
They're walking on by. They're looking at you.
Some people stop, some people stare.
But would they help you and do they care?

How did you fall? Did you fall at all?
Are you happy when you are sleeping underneath the stars?
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm?

A spare bit of change is all that I give.
How is that gonna help when you've got nowhere to live?
Some turn away so they don't see.
I bet you'd look if that were me.

How did you fall? Did you fall at all?
Is it lonely where you are sleeping in between parked cars?
When it thunders where do you hide from the storm?

Could you ever forgive my self-pity?
When you've got nothing and you're living on the streets of the city.
I couldn't live without my phone.
But you don't even have a home.

How did we fall? Can we get up at all?
Are we happy where we are on our lonely little star?
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm?

Where do they go and what do they do?
They're walking on by. They're looking at you.
They're walking on by. They're looking at you.

Goin' Down - Melanie C

How come I didn't see you were making fun of me?
How dare you change the rules
You made me look a fool
Well now youíre gonna see the last laughís not on me
What am I gonna do to get my revenge on you?
Youíre goin' down
Goiní down

Was it just another line or did I misread the sign?
What else could I do?
I was so into you

With all this bad luck I've had my karma must be bad
You played your little game, oh what a shame
Youíre goin' down
Goiní down, goin' down

Iím singiní it loud and I don't care
Iím singiní it proud everywhere

Now I feel no remorse, my life is back on course
From this little hitch I have become a superbitch
But don't be afraid by the confession I've made
I am not a whore
I have gone hardcore
You're goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down

I'm singin' it loud and I don't care
I'm singin' it proud everywhere
I'm singin' it loud and I don't care
I'm singin' it proud everywhere, ha, ha, ha

Youíre goin' down, goin' down. You're goin' down.
Goin' down, ha, yeah

Here It Comes Again - Melanie C

Hey, don't you worry, everything's alright you know
We're gonna be just fine
If the rain crashes down over you
I will love you dry

There is nobody in this world could ever take me away from you
I am always by your side
If you need someone to guide you dear
I'd like to try

Don't give up something you've never had before
(Never could but we would together)
I promise you this
You're the one I adore

Here it comes again
Filling my soul, never want to let go
Here it comes again
Be at one with your love as below so above

My love is flowing freer than a waterfall
Beyond the edge of time
Surrender to the emotion now we can fly
We can fly

And you know there's a reason
That we are who we are (who we are)
I can not resist
You're the one I adore

Here it comes again
Filling my soul, never want to let go
Here it comes again
Be at one with your love as below so above
Here it comes again

Just like there's always gonna be
A place for you and me
A ship that we can sail on
Just like if one and one were three
And everything was free
At the end of some rainbow
Just like a needle and a gun
A circle in a sun
And a knock upon a hidden door
It is you I adore

Here it comes again
Filling my soul, never want to let go
Here it comes again
Be at one with your love as below so above
Feel it coming again
Filling my soul, never want to let go
Here it comes again
Be at one with your love as below so above
Yeah yeah

Northern Star - Melanie C

They tried to catch a falling star
Thinking that she had gone too far
She did but kept it hidden well
Until she cracked and then she fell
If all the history is true
She's gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side
But tell me who will be my guide?

They build you up so they can tear you down
Trust the ocean you'll never drown
Who is next? Who's gonna steal your crown?
You'll see

I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies and goodbyes
Northern Star

Fulfil the longing in your heart
Then we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you
Just tell them that our love is true

They buy your dreams so they can sell your soul
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come
Feelings go

I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me
And you'll see
She's not far
Northern Star.

And you'll see
She's not far
Northern Star

Never Be The Same Again - Melanie C feat. Lisa Lopes

C'MON!!!!
Ooh, yeah
Never be the same again

I call you up whenever things go wrong
You're always there
You are my shoulder to cry on
I can't believe it took me quite so long
To take the forbidden step
Is this something that I might regret? (Uh))

(Come on, on)
Nothing ventured nothing gained
(You are the one)
A lonely heart that can't be tamed
(Come on, come on)
I'm hoping that you feel the same (Yeah)
This is something that I can't forget

I thought that we would just be friends
Things will never be the same again
It's just the beginning it's not the end (Uh)
Things will never be the same again
Itís not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
Never be the same again

(Never be the same again)
(Oh)
Never be the same again
(Never be the same again)
C'mon

Now I know that we were close before
I'm glad I realised I need you so much more
And I don't care what everyone will say (Uh Uh)
It's about you and me
And we'll never be the same again

I thought that we would just be friends (oh yeah)
Things will never be the same again (Never be the same again)
It's just the beginning itís not the end (We've only just begun)
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door (Opened up the door)
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
Never be the same again

[Lisa Left Eye Lopes]
Night and day
Black beach sand to red clay
The US to UK
NYC to LA
From sidewalks to highways
See it'll never be the same
What I'm sayin'
My mind frame never changed 'til you came rearranged
But sometimes it seems completely forbidden
To discover those feelings that we kept so well hidden
Where there's no competition
And you render my condition
Though improbable itís not impossible
For a love that could be unstoppable
But wait. A fine line's between fate and destiny
Do you believe in the things that were just meant to be?
When you tell me the stories of your quest for me
Picturesque is the picture you paint effortlessly
And as our energies mix and begin to multiply
Everyday situations, they start to simplify
So things will never be the same between you and I
We intertwined our life forces and now we're unified

I thought that we would just be friends (Come On)
Things will never be the same again
It's just the beginning it's not the end
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again (Come on, come on)
Things will never be the same again (You are the one)

Never be the same again
It's not a secret any more
We'll never be the same again
It's not a secret any more
Never be the same again

Yeah
Mmm... mmm..
(Never be the same again)
Never be the same again
Oh oh yeah
Never be the same again
(Come On)
Ooh oooh
Never be the same again
Ah ah
Never be the same again

I Turn To You - Melanie C

When the world is darker than I can understand
When nothing turns out the way I planned
When the sky turns grey and there's no end in sight
When I can't sleep through the lonely night

I turn to you
Like a flower leaning toward the sun
I turn to you
Cause your the only one
Who can turn me around
When I'm upside down
I turn to you

When my insides are racked with anxiety
You have the touch that will quiet me
You lift my spirit, you melt the ice
When I need inspiration when I need advice

I turn to you
Like a flower leaning toward the sun
I turn to you
Cause your the only one
Who can turn me around
When I am upside down
I turn to you

Where would I be
What would I do
If you never helped me through
I hope some day if you've lost your way
You can turn to me (You can turn to me)
Like I turn to you

I turn to you
Like a flower leaning toward the sun
I turn to you
Cause your the only one
Who can turn me around
When I'm upside down
I turn to you

I turn to you
When fear tells me to turn around
I turn to you
Cause your the only one
Who can turn me around
When I'm upside down
I turn to you

I turn to you
I turn to you
you... [13x to the end]

First Day Of My Life - Melanie C

So I found the reason to stay alive
Try a little harder see the other side
Talking to myself, too many sleepless nights
Try to find a meaning to this stupid life

I don't want your sympathy
Sometimes i don't know who to be

[Chorus:]
Hey, what you’re looking' for?
No one has the answer, they just want more
Hey who's gonna make it back?
This could be the first day of my life

So I found the reason to let it go
Tell you that I’m smilin', but I still need to grow
Will I find salvation in the arms of love?
Will it stop me searching?
Will it be enough?

I don't want your sympathy
Sometimes I don't know who to be

[Chorus:]
Hey, what you're looking' for?
No one has the answer, do you just want more
Hey who's gonna make it back?
This could be the first day of my life

The first time to really feel alive
The first time to break the chain
The first time to walk away from pain

[Chorus:]
Hey, what you're looking' for?
No one has the answer, will you just want more
Hey, who's gonna make it back?
This could be the first day of your life

Hey, what you're looking' for?
No one has the answer, they just want more (ooh, yeah)
Hey, who's gonna shine a light?
This could be the first day of my life

When You're Gone - Melanie C feat. Bryan Adams

When you're gone

I've been wandering around the house all night
Wondering what the hell to do
Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you

Well the phone don't ring 'cause my friends ain't home
I'm tired of being all alone.
Got the TV on 'cause the radio's playing
Aongs that remind me of you...

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

Yeah

I've been driving up and down these streets
Trying to find somewhere to go
Yeah I'm looking for a familiar face, but there's no one I know

Oh, this is torture, this is pain, it feels like I'm gonna go insane!
I hope you're coming back real soon, 'cause I don't know what to do...

Baby when you're gone (when you're gone), I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on (on and on), and the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong (uh, yeah), baby when you're gone

Hey, don't go back, don't go
Don't go

Oh baby when you're gone (when you're gone), I realize I'm in love (so in love)
The days go on and on and the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good (ahh ahh), drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong (so wrong), baby when you're gone

Yeah, gone

Baby when you're gone, baby when you're gone...

Carolyna - Melanie C

Just another girl with a dream in her heart
Wanna make a new start with a fire inside of her
She had to go
She couldn’t stay around, everybody let her down
Stole the light and the life and the child inside of her
She’s so alone

Running for the train, take her far away
From everything she knows and the way they make her feel
She leaves today
Never look back, never lose track, already strong
She’s seen too much at seventeen
The past will fade
With the future that she craves

Carolyna you travel so far
Trying to escape the pain
Start again where you are
Carolyna you keep following your star
Nobody said you’re beautiful
You’re beautiful the way you are

Finally you’re free where you long to be
But it won’t take long till hits reality
The streets are cold
Big, bad city gonna eat you up
Hard to survive, hard to keep your sanity
Still feeling low
But she’s never going home

Carolyna you travel so far
Trying to escape the pain
Start again where you are
Carolyna you keep following your star
Nobody said you’re beautiful
You’re beautiful the way you are

(Beautiful, beautiful)
(You’re beautiful, beautiful)
(Beautiful, beautiful)
(You’re beautiful, beautiful)

She tries to rest
All she needs is a warm caress
All she wants is happiness

Carolyna you travel so far
Trying to escape the pain
Start again where you are
Carolyna you keep following your star
Nobody said you’re beautiful
You’re beautiful the way you are
Carolyna you travel so far (so beautiful)
Trying to escape the pain (the way you are)
Start again where you are
Carolyna you keep following your star (so beautiful)
Nobody said you’re beautiful (the way you are)
You’re beautiful the way you are
Carolyna…

The Moment You Believe - Melanie C

Time to face what you are hiding from
Don’t have to do this on your own
Together we are strong
We don’t need anyone
No matter what they say the time has come
I’m ready now to start a new beginning
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I know the stars will shine for you and for me
From the moment you believe
I know they think that I’m no good for you
But we both know that they’re wrong
Together we can fight
Show everyone we’re right
I don’t care what they say our time has come
I’m ready now to start a new beginning…
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I know the stars will shine for you and for me
From the moment you believe
When you believe there’s nothing you can’t overcome
When you believe the earth is brighter than the sun
I believe
I’m ready now to start a new beginning…
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I know the stars will shine for you and for me
From the moment you believe
From the moment you believe

I want candy - Melanie C

I know a girl who’s tough but sweet
She’s so fine she can’t be beat
Got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire

Ought to see her with her hair hung down
Ain’t no finer girl in town

She’s so sweet she makes my mouth water
I want candy I want candy
Oh
