Te Amo Corazón
At 42,000 feet above the sea
That's where U and I first came 2 be
From the dust of the earth and the knowledge tree
Te amo corazón {Spanish for: "I love U, sweetheart"}
At last I can tell U what I've known so long
My heart's been crying out 2 sing this song
I don't care who knows it cuz there's nothing wrong
Te amo corazón
I'm so scared of losing U
I really don't know what I'd do
Can't bear the thought of another day apart
My heart, my heart... corazón
{scatting}
At once when I first laid eyes on U
I saw heaven and Earth anew
Everyone else saw my brown eyes, no longer blue
Te amo corazón
Oh yeah, oh yes
At first I couldn't find the words 2 say
How much U've changed me in every way
I just wanna thank U, oh, each and every day
Te amo corazón

I'm gonna make U scream my name as if it was divine (Prince)
But we both know that we got 2 praise the 1 who made ya
And give props 2 the mama 4 the healthy food she must've gave ya

But the truth is that U sittin' on every one of them dinners
But that's fine (Yeah), cuz I'm blind (Huh?)

He might come 2 in the morning
After roaming in the park
Harder 2 understand, always changing plans
Harder than hell 2 handle

All night
Circles of flowers, of pyramids of sand
Violet colored diamonds, U got 2 understand (Hey)
Incense and candles, wherever U can
U got 2 make this woman lust 4 this man

Love
Ooh! {x2}
Ow!

Stop telling me what U want me 2 fear
Stop tripping on somethin' U overheard
Love is winning without a word
Stop giving me your wish list
Love is free from all this
CHORUS:
Like a bird flyin' over the hilltops
Love is like the sky, U know it never stops
From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
Love is whatever, whatever U want it 2 be
Love is not a game U can play on the floor
U gotta stop keeping score
(If U wanna) If U wanna play me like U did b4
U better stop and walk out the door
We could skate around the issues if U like
But who's gon' get U high in the middle of the night?
CHORUS
Oh
Whoa whoa oh
Oh
I see U standing wit' your back on the wall
U better, better get your hands up and clap if that's all
And uh, if U don't wanna get yours, then let me get mine
See, ain't gonna be no drama cuz we have a good time
What's the point in giving me ultimatums?
Smilin' at my friends when U really hate 'em
Tryin' 2 convince me that I should 2
What's the point?
Stop worryin' about what people say
When U ain't gon', ain't gonna stop 'em anyway, uh
Love can do anything if U try
Come on, spread your wings and let's fly, uh
Fly so high, fly, flyin' over the hilltops
Love is like the sky, U know it never stops (Ain't gonna stop, now)
From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Speak 2 me)
Love is whatever, whatever, whatever...
CHORUS
(Speak 2 me, uh)
(Talking 'bout love now)
Whatever U want it 2 be {x3}
(Talking 'bout love, now)

Fury
U must have heard it on the news this morning
Congratulations, a new star is born
Sun 2 shadow, rose 2 a thorn
But there ain't no fury like a woman scorned
Y'all musta dug it when U did your thang
It's like the song everybody wanna sang
When the music's over your ears'll ring
With a voice that says "Queen got no king"
Got no king, (No, she don't)
He got a message sayin' U tried 2 reach him on the phone
He didn't wanna answer cuz he's so afraid
U'll probably tell him just 2 leave U alone
U must have heard he got another band
They're makin' money, they're makin' plans
U feel left out, but U need 2 understand
Word on the street - he's still your man
He's still your man, he's still your man, girl
(Look out, look out) Look out here comes your rainy day
Now U think U got a good reason 2 say
Everything that's in your heart, come what may
Even though his might get broken
Who's the guilty 1, (who's the guilty 1) when there ain't no judge and jury?
Shadow 2 the sun (shadow 2 the sun), next 2 the 1 (next 2 the 1)
Hell ain't got no fury
Will the roses the dead keep sending
Repair the heart in need of mending?
Will this song have a happy ending?
Only the woman knows, only she knows
2 sides 2 every story
One man's gloom is another man's glory
Sun 2 a shadow (shadow), rose 2 a thorn (rose 2 a thorn)
There ain't no fury like a woman scorned
Oh no, ain't no fury like a woman scorned {x2} (Oh no)
No fury like a woman scorned

The Word
(Let's go)
What is this new exaltation
That I just can't explain?
What r these new inspirations
That I can't get outta my brain?
How am I gonna sleep with this feeling
Rushing all through my veins?
Get up, come on let's do something
Don't U wanna go get saved?
The night is calling U 2 act
Act upon every urge
U can't get no satisfaction
If U ain't got the courage
I don't know what U're afraid of
I don't know what U've heard
Get up, come on let's do something
Don't U wanna know the word?
CHORUS:
Who's gonna save us when them spiders get next 2 U?
Spinning their sticky webs around what U do?
(We gotta) safeguard against forked tongue and the treachery of the wicked 1
Get up, come on let's do something
Don't matter how far U have 2
The truth has got 2 be told
Don't matter how shiny your lips
They'll never be streets of gold
They might try 2 get us crazy
Cuz they don't know what I've heard
We got this new exaltation
I'm talking about the word
CHORUS
(Next 2 U, next 2 U)
(What U do, yeah)
(Forked tongue)
(Wicked 1)
Get up, come on let's do something
No reason 2 feel this pain
Get up, come on let's do something
Come on, go, let's get saved

Beautiful, Loved and Blessed
Wake up
U're beautiful, loved and blessed
U feel me? (Think I don't?)
When U found me, I was just a piece of clay
I was formless, U gave me a new name
With the breath of life I now live abundantly
All I needed was the potter's hand
And the blood on Calvary (That's right)
But 2 much power (Tell it)
Can sometimes turn 2 shame
2 much desire
Sometimes make U feel the same (Come on)
But 4giveness is how U win the game
I begged 4 truth, now I know the truth
And that is when U came and said I was...
CHORUS:
Beautiful, loved and blessed
I'm better than the day b4
Cuz U made me confess that I am...
Beautiful, loved and blessed
When U're free U're really free indeed
All U gotta do is just plant the seed
A constant battle 2 stay ahead of the game (Stay ahead of the game)
Is anybody famous when everybody wants fame?
Always trying 2 break U down
Thinkin' that it'll raise 'em up
I just wanna be happy
Come take this bitter cup from me
If I were 2 ever write down my life story
I could truly say (truly say) with all the fame and glory
I was just a piece of clay in need of the potter's hand
Cause when U whispered in my ear
The words I so now understand, oh...
CHORUS
Everything U made U said, "That's good"
B4 the fall of man U said, "That's good"
Every time I walk in faith, that's good
U let me see another day, that's good
B4 the earth was made U said, "Támar,
I will lead the way and U'll go far"
Knowledge and understanding
Understanding is good
And when I wake up in the morning
All I hear in my hood
Is people saying that they're...
Beautiful, loved and blessed (Beautiful)
Will U rescue me from the darkness?
And now I just must confess
That I am beautiful, loved and blessed
When U're free, U're free indeed
All U gotta do is just plant the seed
Hey, hey, hey
Wake up it's a new day
Hey, hey, hey (That's right)
Wave your hands in the air and say
Hey, hey, hey
Wake up it's a new day (New day, y'all)
Hey, hey, hey
Wave your hands in the air and say
Beautiful, loved and blessed (Beautiful)
U rescued me from the darkness in the wilderness
That's why I am beautiful (beautiful), loved and blessed (blessed)
No matter what the challenge
I'll always pass the test
That's what I am
Beautiful, that's what I am {x2}
I don't mean 2 put nobody down
Still I must confess that I am...
Beautiful, that's what I am
That's what I am
When U wanna give up, don't cuz U know
U always got a friend
That's what I am, that's what I am
That's what I am, beautiful, beautiful
That's what I am, that's what I am
That's what I am, beautiful, beautiful
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Beautiful {x8}

Baby, r U gonna really just stand there
And act like U don't want this?
Baby, if U do then U know I just don't care
Oh baby, I could find another
Just like U anywhere
Oh baby, they might not have your hips, girl
And all that pretty hair, oh
At least they won't spend all day in the mirror
Tryin' 2 find somethin' 2 wear
At least, they won't wanna make love
Like U do on the stairs, against the pole on the north corner of the...
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, it's just not fair
It's just not fair!
