Feel the Commotion

This might not be the place for sophisticated conversation
I bet you can’t hear yourself think
I bet you’re feeling hot with that shirt buttoned to the top
So lose the tie and grab another drink
You say it’s not your scene
That your friends dragged you along
But I don’t believe
You're incapable of fun
There is no in-between
Can’t stop yourself from dancing to this song
To this song
It hits you like a shotgun, kick drum
Can you feel the rhythm move right through you?
Burning like the hot sun let's run
Into this ocean, when you feel the commotion
Now you’re hiding on the sidelines with your eyes glued to the screen
In a place like this that’s really such as shame
Why should I dress to the nines if you won’t let me make you mine?
We came to play so let’s get in the game
You say it’s not your scene
That your friends dragged you along
But I don’t believe
You're incapable of fun
There is no in-between
Can’t stop yourself from dancing to this song
To this song
It hits you like a shotgun, kick drum
Can you feel the rhythm move right through you?
Burning like the hot sun let's run
Into this ocean, when you feel the commotion
Hits you like a shotgun, kick drum
Can you feel the rhythm move right through you?
Burning like the hot sun let's run
Into this ocean, when you feel the commotion
Take the lead
Find the beat
And move your body down with mine and we’ll
Hear the rhyme when we’re stepping it in time
Cause the song starts with you but ends with you and me
It hits you like a shotgun, kick drum
Can you feel the rhythm move right through you?
Burning like the hot sun let's run
Into this ocean, when you feel the commotion
Hits you like a shotgun, kick drum
Can you feel the rhythm move right through you?
Burning like the hot sun let's run
Into this ocean, when you feel the commotion

Love in the Fast Lane
03:25
|
|||
|
Cupid take the shortcut down the boulevard
My wheels are spinning fast to get to where you are
Hoping I can reach you make you feel the same
Oh oh oh oh love in the fast lane
Oh oh oh love in the fast lane
Let's take a ride
Happiness is you by my side
Take me where you want to just drive
I've got no plans
Tonight
We don't have to turn out the lights
If you want we'll just talk all night
Who's your favourite band?
I try to keep my cool, but my engine is hot
Don't want to rush you baby but I want what you got
Go anywhere you want, do anything you need
I don't want to beg but I ain't too proud to plead
Cupid take the shortcut down the boulevard
My wheels are spinning fast to get to where you are
Hoping I can read you make you feel the same
Oh oh oh oh love in the fast lane
Oh oh oh love in the fast lane
I see you smile
You twirl your hair and tilt to the side
Looking at me like I'm a child
Could I be your man?
I made up my mind
Hoping that we see eye to eye
Please just let me be your guide
Take my hand
I try to keep my cool, but my engine is hot
Don't want to rush you baby but I want what you got
On our first date I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else
Cupid take the shortcut down the boulevard
My wheels are spinning fast to get to where you are
Hoping I can reach you make you feel the same
Oh oh oh oh love in the fast lane
Oh oh oh love in the fast lane
(Final chorus with Ad lib)
Cupid take the shortcut down the boulevard
My wheels are spinning fast to get to where you are
Hoping I can reach you make you feel the same
Oh oh oh oh love in the fast lane
Oh oh oh love in the fast lane

Backseat Lover
03:44
|

|
I lean on Irene
I dream and I steam
Over you
A dream that will never come true
A dream that will never come true
You show your dark streak
When you pull my heartstrings
Don't be cruel
Momma didn't raise a fool
Don't be cruel
Momma didn't raise a fool
I don't want to see nobody
I don't want to hear nobody
I'd rather be your backseat lover
Than crying over you
Salt that I tasted
teardrops I’ve wasted
Over you
Momma didn't raise no fool
Don't be cruel
Momma didn't raise no fool
I don't want to see nobody
I don't want to hear nobody
I'd rather be your backseat lover
Than crying over you
I don't want to see nobody
I don't want to hear nobody
I'd rather be your backseat lover
Than crying over you
Baby baby baby baby
I don't want to see nobody
I don't want to hear nobody
I'd rather be your backseat lover
Than crying over you
Ad lib.

What Are We Waiting For?
04:19
|
|||
|
How long do we have to keep our secret?
I thought it'd be easy but it's getting tough
I'm so excited I can't hide it
How long till enough is enough?
Why are we hiding our attraction?
It’s nobody's business but our own
People can talk words are just spoken
Why do we care if others know?
If you're really into me and
I'm really into you tell me
What are we waiting for? (What are we waiting for?)
Nothing is getting in our way
So what are we waiting for? (What are we waiting for?)
Today is tomorrow's yesterday (What are we waiting)
So what are we waiting for?
When did we start to care what others think? (Why listen to the crowd)
There’s nobody else I'd rather call (I need you on the line)
Just say the word I'll jump I'm on the brink (We’re on the edge of something)
Just be with me as I fall (I’ll catch you when you fall)
If you're falling for me and
I'm falling for you tell me
What are we waiting for? (What are we waiting for?)
Nothing is getting in our way
So what are we waiting for? (What are we waiting for?)
Today is tomorrow's yesterday (What are we waiting)
So what are we waiting for?
You know you're in love with me and
I know I'm in love with you tell me
What are we waiting for? (What are we waiting for?)
Nothing is getting in our way
What are we waiting for? (What are we waiting for?)
Today is tomorrow's yesterday
So what are we waiting for?
Nothing is getting in our way
What are we waiting for? (What are we waiting for?)
Today is tomorrow's yesterday
So what are we waiting

The Time Is Now
02:43

Do you know where you’re going?
Do you have a plan?
Or are you living day by day
Afraid to take a chance
Are you waiting for turn
Your fleeting ounce of fame
Will you let it pass you by
Or stand up to the plate
The time is now
To get up on your feet
The time is now
For you to take the leap
Break the ice, don’t think twice, better roll the dice
The time is now
It’s time to live your live
Do the the follows that you crave?
Give you what you need?
Or are you drowning in the noise?
Of living through your screen
Is this optical illusion?
What it really seems?
Let’s make a real connection
There’s no soul in the machine
The time is now
To get up on your feet
The time is now
For you to take the leap
Break the ice, don’t think twice, better roll the dice
The time is now
It’s time to live your live
The time is now
To get up on your feet
The time is now
For you to take the leap
Break the ice, don’t think twice, better roll the dice
The time is now
It’s time to live your live
The time is now
Get up get up get up
The time is now
On yeah
Break the ice, don’t think twice, better roll the dice
The time is now
It’s time to live your live

Where Does the Love Go?
04:54
|
|||
|
It used to be easy
Didn’t have to think about it
Kind of love people talked about
It used to be easy
Two of us living like a movie
Close enough you could see right through me
Here we are miles apart
Holding out for both these hearts
To get back to where we were so early on
We’ve been looking for that spark for so damn long
Where does the love go when it’s gone?
Where does love go when it’s gone?
Does it up and run away?
Is it somewhere in a song?
Is it stuck in yesterday?
We’ve been searching all this time
Just so we could find
Where does love go when it’s gone?
It used to be easy
Making out and staying up
Starting fires when we touched
Where are we now
It used to be easy
Just being around you
From the moment I found you I had to keep you close
Here we are miles apart
Holding out for both these hearts
To get back to where we were so early on
We’ve been looking for that spark for so damn long
Where does the love go when it’s gone?
Where does love go when it’s gone?
Does it up and run away?
Is it somewhere in a song?
Is it stuck in yesterday?
We’ve been searching all this time
Just so we could find
Where does love go when it’s gone?
Where does love go when it’s gone?
Does it up and run away?
Is it somewhere in a song?
Is it stuck in yesterday?
We’ve been searching all this time
Just so we could find
Where does love go when it’s gone?
Where does love go when it’s gone?
Does it up and run away?
Is it somewhere in a song?
Is it stuck in yesterday?
We’ve been searching all this time
Just so we could find
Where does love go when it’s gone?
We’ve been searching all this time
Just so we could find
Where does love go when it’s gone?

Nothing But You
03:23
|
|||
|
I might have took a wrong turn
Distracted by your smile
I might be lost, oh I might be lost
But I can stay here awhile
We could be in a cabin in the mountains with a view
The middle of Manhattan on 5th Avenue
We could go anywhere in the world from Rome or Malibu
Doesn't matter where we are
I can't see nothing but you
Nothing but you
Nothing but you
It doesn't matter we are
I can't see you nothing but you
Adrift under a sky of stars
You're my guiding light
Don't need a compass or directions
When I'm with you I'm alright
On the beach with our toes in the sand umbrella drinks for two
In the streets of Paris, a midnight Rendez-vous
We could go anywhere in the world from Bangkok to Peru
Doesn't matter where we are
I can't see nothing but you
Nothing but you
Nothing but you
It doesn't matter we are
I can't see you nothing but you
Romantic dinner with wine and fancy food
Breakfast in bed on a sunny afternoon
We can go anywhere or stay at home and watch the tube
Doesn't matter where we are
I can't see nothing but you
Nothing but you
Nothing but you
It doesn't matter we are
I can't see you nothing but you
Nothing but you
Nothing but you
It doesn't matter we are
I can't see you nothing but you
Nothing but you
Nothing but you
It doesn't matter we are
I can't see you nothing but you

Twisted
03:55
|

|
I see right through your disguise
There ain't no coming back
Now you'll have to pay the price
Curtains up that was quite an act
You're not sorry you broke my trust
You're just sorry that you got caught
Tempted by an unfamiliar touch
But did you have a second thought?
Saying baby you know I work late
No one else is bringing a date
She’s just a friend
Oh no never again
You got me twisted
Saying were meant to be
Twisted
Thought you can keep this from me
In the end you're nothing but a liar and a cheat
Your love is twisted
Don't come crawling back to me
I was twisted I was tangled in your web of deceit
I was twisted by your games but you'll never win with me
It’s time to for you to say goodbye
Pack your things and leave today
All you've done is waste my time
Loving you was my mistake
You're not going to change my mind
Don't look back as you walk away
You go your way, I'll go mine
I don't wanna hear you say
It will never happen again
I love you babe but I'm just a man
It’s all in the past
Don't make me laugh
You got me twisted
Saying were meant to be
Twisted
Thought you can keep this from me
In the end you're nothing but a liar and a cheat
Your love is twisted
Don't come crawling back to me
I was twisted I was tangled in your web of deceit
I was twisted by your games but you'll never win with me
Coming home to me when you still smell like her
You say I'm acting crazy but I see the lipstick on your shirt
A real prince charming but you know your not just a flirt
I really loved you and boy you know this hurts
You got me twisted
Saying were meant to be
Twisted
Thought you can keep this from me
In the end you're nothing but a liar and a cheat
You got me twisted
Saying were meant to be
Twisted
Thought you can keep this from me
In the end you're nothing but a liar and a cheat
Your love is twisted
Don't come crawling back to me
I was twisted I was tangled in your web of deceit
I was twisted by your games but you'll never win with me
I was twisted by your games but you'll never win with me

New Suit
03:03
|
|||
|
These days nothing seems to go my way
I'm gettin' tired of the same ol' same
My friends keep tellin' me that all things change
And my image needs a brand-new frame
I can lose the beard and get a haircut
But something tells that's just not enough
Put some effort in don't be shy
You don't need a special reason why
'Cause everyone’s crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed guy
Check me out, fresh and clean, turnin’ heads
Causing a scene in my new suit
I'm a new man with a new plan
Yeah, I'm rockin' this new suit
Go on out, twist and shout, ain’t no doubt
I'm lookin' fine in my new suit
I'm a new man with a new plan
Good style is more than just a habit
A good suit is more than just the fabric
Hounds tooth through a subtle sheen
It's confidence that will cause a scene
Broad shoulders and a nice lapel
It feels so good when it fits so well
You might also like
Oh my
Oh, you can't deny
'Cause everyone’s crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed guy
Check me out, fresh and clean, turnin’ heads
Causing a scene in my new suit
I'm a new man with a new plan
Yeah, I'm rockin' this new suit
Go on out, twist and shout, ain’t no doubt
I'm lookin' fine in my new suit
I'm a new man with a new plan
A little bit softer now
A little bit softer now
Pick it up pick it up now
A little bit louder now
A little bit louder now
Hey 1....2.....3.....4.......
Check me out, fresh and clean, turnin’ heads
Causing a scene in my new suit
I'm a new man with a new plan
Yeah, I'm rockin' this new suit
Go on out, twist and shout, ain’t no doubt
I'm lookin' fine in my new suit
I'm a new man with a new plan

Show Some Love
04:19
|
|||
|
Let's united and stand together
Be the change you want to see
Turn the page, for the better
Stand up now if you agree
Show some love show us everything you got
We can turn this around gotta put our foot down (Hey, Hey)
Show some love, show us everything you got
It’s time for us to wake up we've got to kick up some dust
It’s clear to see the times are changing
This world needs some re-arranging
Everywhere you look you see someone who's lost hope
Clinging to their life they've reached the end of their rope
Grab your phone and start ignoring
But from a distance keep recording
Never think one single act could help those in need
The smallest act can turn the tide if you just believe
Let's united and stand together
Be the change you want to see
Turn the page for the better
Stand up now if you agree
Show some love show us everything you got
We can turn this around we've got to put our foot down (hey hey)
Show some love show us everything you got
It’s time for us to wake up we've got to kick up some dust
Wealth was never meant for sharing
Spend it all on what you're wearing
Keeping up appearances is how you succeed
That is still the motto some people believe
Now the youth just grow up learning
That what they are is what they're earning
Show some love to someone who cannot show it back
Some day in their lifetime they will mirror your act
Let's united and stand together
Be the change you want to see
Turn the page for the better
Stand up now if you agree
Show some love show us everything you got
We can turn this around we've got to put our foot down
Show some love show us everything you got
It’s time for us to wake up we've got to kick up some dust
Ad lib.
Well you gotta show some love
You gotta show some love
You gotta show some love
Show some love show us everything you got
We can turn this around gotta put our foot down
Show some love show us everything you got
It’s time for us to wake up we've got to kick up some dust
Show some love show us everything you got
We can turn this around we've got to put our foot down
Show some love show us everything you got
It’s time for us to wake up we've got to kick up some dust

Calm Before The Storm
03:48
|
|||
|
It wasn’t like you caught me off my guard
I thought I saw you in another dream
All your glances start to blend to one
Suspended in the in-between
They say the best is yet to come but
I have yet to see the sun
I feel the heaviness in the air
Pulse steady as I close my eyes
Staring at a distant piece of you
That stares back as if to ask me why
All the words inside my head
All the words were left unsaid
The window glass
Fractured and cracked
You’re the calm before the storm (Calm before the storm)
You’re the places left behind
You’re somewhere far away (Somewhere far away)
So far from being mine
The rain is coming but I’ll take it now
The cool drops that fall upon my face
Scattered all those memories, I’d rather
Forget the steps that I retrace
Found away on another path
But I’m afraid I’ll find my way back to you
The window glass
Fractured and cracked
You’re the calm before the storm (Calm before the storm)
You’re the places left behind
You’re somewhere far away (Somewhere far away)
So far from being mine
You’re the calm before the storm (Calm before the storm)
You’re the places left behind
You’re somewhere far away (Somewhere far away)
So far from being mine
You’re the calm before the storm (Calm before the storm)
You’re the places left behind
You’re somewhere far away (Somewhere far away)
So far from being mine

You Complete Me
03:19
|
|||
|
Just in case I haven’t told you what you mean to me
Just in case you haven’t heard it all before
I have fallen for you utterly completely
You complete me
And if ever there’s a moment that you fail to see
I would never miss a single opportunity
To breathe the air you breathe I inhale deeply
You complete me
You
You
The reason my heart beats
You knock me off my feet
You compete me
There was once upon a time that I was wondering
A longing vagabond until you came to me
You cast your way unequivocally
You complete me
I got swept up in the moment like summer breeze
Moving in your current til the autumn leaves
Leave the autumn trees please never leave me
You complete me
You
You
The reason my heart beats
You knock me off my feet
You compete me
Cause I knew when we first met
That the pieces would connect
Come together step by step
Come together step by step
You are everything I need
Any fool can surely see
It’s just you and me
It’s just you and me
You
You
The reason my heart beats
You knock me off my feet
You compete me
You
You
The reason my heart beats
You knock me off my feet
You’re the reason my heart beats (You)
Reason my heart beats (You)
You knock me off my feet
You’re the reason my heart beats (You)
You knock me off my feet
You complete me
