Lyrics

Holler

I wanna make you holler
Imagine us together
Don't be afraid to play my game

Boy don't you hesitate
I won't keep waiting for you
To come and let me take
You to my fantasy room
You're gonna like it there
And all the things that I do
I'll treat you right
All through the night

We can do anything
I'll take you all the places you wanna be
(I'll take you there, I'll take you there)
I'll be your fantasy
Everything you want you will find in me
If you play my game yeah

Chorus
I wanna make you holler
And hear you scream my name
I'll give you rules to follow
So you can play my game
Imagine us together
Me driving you insane
You will give into me
Don't be afraid to play my game

So what you gonna do
Now that I've got you with me
You've gotta show me boy
'Cause nothing comes for free
Start from the bottom and
Work your way up slowly
Don't be afraid to play my game

We can go all night long
Doing things you thought you would never do
I won't tell anyone
What we do it's just for me and you
So come and play my game

Repeat chorus two times

I wanna make you holler
(holler holler holler holler holler come on)
[repeat]

We can go all night long
Doing things you thought you would never do
I won't tell anyone
'Cause everything is just between me and you
But you gotta play my game yeah

I wanna make you holler
And hear you scream my name
I'll give you rules to follow
So you can play my game
Imagine us together
Me driving you insane
You will give into me
Don't be afraid to play my game

Repeat chorus till fade

Tell Me Why

Spice Girls, dark child, let's dance

Oooh...
We could have had it all
But you turned your back

It started with dreams
It started a team
But you weren't as true as you always seemed
You promised to love
No matter what
Yet you turned your back and walked out on me

What made you think
That without me
Your life would be so much better but now you see
That here without me
Your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me

Chorus
So tell me why (oh why)
Did we end up this way
When we tried (we tried)
To make everything okay
Tell me why (oh why)
Did you feel you couldn't stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way

You never thought
I would find out
All of the things you said about us
When you're the one who
Decided to
Erase all our plans and say you were through

What made you think
That without me
Your life would be so much better but now you see
That here without me
Your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me

Repeat chorus two times

Now tell me was it
Your plan all along
To try and use me
And then let go
Now where is the trust
We had between us
I guess that you never played by the rules

Can you tell me

Repeat chorus three times

Let Love Lead the Way

What makes this world go round
Will the answer let her down
She is so sweet and young
And her life has just begun
What does her future hold that's the story left unknown
Will she make it through her days, let our love lead the way

Chorus
Part of me laughs
Part of me cries
Part of me wants to question why (question why)
What good is their joy
And why is there pain (ooh)
Why is there sunshine and the rain
One day you're here
Next you are gone
No matter what we must go on
Just keep the faith
And let love lead the way
Everything will work out fine
If you let love, love lead the way

Sitting there all alone
In the window of her room
Watching the world go by
Brings tears to her eyes
All she sees is hurt and pain, she wants to break the chain
She'll keep pressing everyday and she'll find her own sweet way
Chorus

You can be all that and still can be who you are
You gotta know for sure that it isn't make believe
You may feel weak but you are strong
Don't you give up if
If you keep holding on, you'll never be wrong
Just close your eyes cause it lies deep in your heart, yeah
Chorus

Everything will work out fine
If you let love, love lead the way
Love lead the way

Right Back at Ya

Ooh

We're comin right back atcha, come on
This party's begun
Jump to it

It's a brand new day
I've got a feeling things are going my way
'Cause the girls are back in town
So don't look down
'Cause the groove won't let your feet touch the ground, yeah yeah

No looking back
And you thought we wouldn't make it this far
So we (proved you wrong again)
Now's the time (time)
We're coming right back with a brand new design (feelin' fine)

There's been tears along the way (ooh)
But we're still the best of friends (ooh)
Never needed to pretend (ooh)
'Cause real friendship never ends

Chorus
We're comin right back atcha, come on
(Back atcha, come on)
This party's begun
(Party's begun)
Jump to it 'cause the girls are coming back again
('Cause the girls are coming back at you again)
Right back atcha this time
(At you this time)
We're changing the vibe
Get with it 'cause the girls are coming back again
(Get with it, girls are coming back again)

Whoa-ooh-oooh-oh
Whoa-ooh-oooh-oh
'Cause the girls are coming back again

Now we've had a taste of what we all can achieve
But we're (coming back for more)
Show you how
Turn your dreams into our reality
Stronger than before

There's been tears along the way
But we never cried alone
The four of us have grown
And our friendship never ends

Chorus

We're coming right back atcha
No R.I.P.
Not forgetting the days
When we were all wannabes
Spice it up through and through
Through and through to the limit
They all try and diss us
But there ain't nothing in it
We started a trend now they all imitated
A new generation of spice we created
You all know who you are
We couldn't have done it without ya
So once again we're coming right back atcha

There's been tears along the way
But we're still the best of friends
Never needed to pretend
'Cause real friendship never ends

Repeat chorus three times

Get Down With Me

Let me tell ya
'Bout the night I wanna have

Gonna take you on a ride
And you better make it right
'Cause tonight (all night)
There's only one thing on my mind
And you'll find out just in time

Chorus
If you knew (if you really knew)
Just what plan I've got in store for you (you wouldn't leave)
You wouldn't leave the room until I am through (I'm tired of being under)
I'm tired of being undercover (It's time)
It's time to be your lover
So get down with me

Don't try to hold on to this moment (to hold on to this moment)
'Cause when you wake up I'll be gone, yeah, yeah yeah

Repeat chorus two times

Wasting My Time

Baby who was the one that treated you
So badly you felt like you
Had to do that you were cheating
I felt for you
Till you proved everything that my friends said about you
About you was true

You got your lady
And happened your way
So can you blame me
For walking away
What did I do
To be treated so bad
Now that you have loved me
I was the best thing you ever had

Chorus
Do you think I don't know, what's going on
But I know we're through I just keep wasting my time
I have you holding on but I know wer're through I just keep wasting my time

Can't you see that the things you said and did
Never have been make-believe
That you thought you saw the surer side of me
Now you seem to think that you can't seem to live your life without me
Sorry but baby you can't do it to me

You got your lady
And happened your way
So can you blame me
For walking away
What did I do
To be treated so bad
Now you have loved me
I was the best thing you ever had

Repeat chorus two times

Now you know I can live without you
You should see that it's not all about you
This time you played too late again
Now it's time to see
That I won't waste my life about you

Repeat chorus four times

Weekend Love

La la la la la la
La la la la

You thought that this was love
But my plan, wasn't that for us
I thought that you would understand
I didn't want you for my full-time man

I like the way you made me feel that night
It's something that I can't deny
But I've been hurt before
I can't take it no more
That's why, that's why

Chorus
A weekend love is all it was
Nothing serious because
We're playing games, we're only young
Get with it, it was just a weekend love

You thought you'd break the rules
You thought that I would be a fool
But now that the tables have turned
This is a lesson you didn't want to learn

I loved the way you make me feel inside
It's something I just had to try
But I've been hurt before
I can't take it no more
That's why, that's why

Repeat chorus two times

Don't try to make me believe that you'd never hurt someone
Now that pain has come back to you
Thought the love you had was true
And now you don't know what to do, oh

Everytime I turn around you're standing right there
I really don't want you and I really don't care
I can't think about you no not forever
What we had was good but there's much more better
You try to blame me, I'll put the blame on you
You play the game baby, I can play the game too
You say you want me back it's a simple fact
Darkchild and all my girls got my back like that, yeah

Repeat chorus two times

A little weekend love

La la la la la la
La la la la

Time Goes By

I've never had a feeling so right
Like I have with you
Can't explain the things you do
But boy when you tell me softly you love me too

It's like I know we were meant to be
So for eternity you will have a part of me
And all I need is for you to stay right here with me, yeah

Chorus
Time goes by but we stand still
Love you for eternity I will
I know that we were meant to be
That's how I feel when you're with me

You are the reason that my heart beats
And no I never thought, I would ever fall so deep
But now I see that the love that we share
Is oh so sweet

What if I told you that I believe
That you are my soul, my destiny
What if I was to say
In every way
Deep in my heart is where you'll be

Repeat chorus two times

As you hold me close so tenderly
And watch you fall to sleep
I see in you the one who now completes
The half of me I used to be

Yeah

Repeat chorus two times

Time goes by but we stand still
Love you forever, yes I will
I know we're meant to be
That's how I feel baby

If You Wanna Have Some Fun

At the party after the show
I see a face I wanna get to know (Wink wink, nudge nudge - tell me do you like the rude stuff)
Show me how you gotta make your move
Boy you know you gotta let ya prove (Wink wink, nudge nudge - are you man enough?)

You got the message, you felt my stare
And now you're walking from over there
I ain't that easy, I'll make it hard for you

Chorus
If you wanna have some fun
Track me down, and get my number
You could be the one (Something on your mind)
If you wanna have some fun
Track me down, and get my number
You could be the one (Something on your mind)

Now you stand real close to me
I feel the heat you wanna get with me (Wink wink, nudge nudge - tell me do you like the rude stuff)
I love the feeling wanna make it right
Baby I'm gonna keep you up all night (Wink wink, nudge nudge - are you man enough?)

Why don't you tell me how you unwind
And if you open I'll blow your mind
I'll take you places you never been before

Repeat chorus two times

Why don't you tell me how you unwind
And if you open I'll blow your mind
I'll take you places you never been before

If you want to have some fun (Something on your mind)
If you want to have some fun (Something on your mind)
Repeat chorus two times

Oxygen

There will come a time
I know I'm gonna need
Someone I can trust, someone who'll fight for me
That's the way I love

This is my time to work things out
What I want from this life
There will be someone out there for me
That's the way I love

It doesn't really matter whoever you are
Don't matter where you go
Just make sure you're there to answer when love comes around
Don't be surprised when love knocks at your door

Chorus
You're the breath that I take
You're the smile on my face
Every time I breathe in
Brings me warmth from within
When you touch me I start believing
Loving is like oxygen

Even when we're so far apart
I still feel you in my heart
'Cause you've given me the greatest gift of all
That's the way I love

The way I love is easy, but could it ever be for me?
This situation seems so insane
It's all about feeling without insecurities
That's the way I love

It doesn't really matter whoever you are
Don't matter where you go
Just make sure you're there to answer when love comes around
Don't be surprised when love knocks at your door

Chorus

Imagine a life without love
I'd be so afraid (so afraid)
'Cause the love that we share
Would be hard to replace
Baby hold me and never leave me
This love is my oxygen
(This love is my oxygen)

Open your heart
Take a deep breath
Stop searching and start believing
Make sure you're there to answer when love comes around
Don't be surprised when true love knocks at your door

Chorus

Imagine a life without love
I'd be so afraid
'Cause the love that we share
Would be hard to replace
Baby hold me and never leave me
This love is my oxygen
(This love is my oxygen)

Goodbye

No no no no
No no no no

Listen little child
There will come a day
When you will be able, able to say
Never mind the pain, all the aggravation
You know there's a better way
For you and me to be

Look for the rainbow in every storm
Fly like an angel heaven sent to me

Chorus
Goodbye my friend
(I know you're gone, you said you're gone but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end
(You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it, time will never change it, no no

No no no no

Just a little girl, big imagination
Never letting no one take it away
Went into the world, what a revelation
She found there's a better way for you and me to be

Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby

Repeat chorus

The times when we would play about
The way we used to scream and shout
We never dreamed you'd go your own sweet way

Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby

Repeat chorus

No no no no
(You know it's time to say goodbye)
No no no no
(And don't forget you can rely)
No no no no
(You know it's time to say goodbye and don't forget on me you can rely)
No no no no
(I will help, help you on your way)
No no no no
(I will be with you every day)
No no no no...
