Verse 1:
Yes i know you're strong
I've seen all you can take
But it's wrong -
Even strong men get weak
Even steel can break.....
Even steel can break

I know you know
Your weakest points, baby
But you never wanna change
You can never be more than just satisfied
If you stay within safe range

Chorus:
Try
Why don't we try a little harder
Let the good outnumber the bad
Cry
Must i,
Must i cry any longer?
Can we try anymore?
Am i worth it -
After all we've shared.....

Verse 2:
Yes, you make people laugh
But soon.....
Every clown must go home
To his empty room
You're not truly happy
Playing the fool
But can't you see
The fool is you?
If you don't.....

Chorus

After all

Bridge:
We know these things can't take away
The pain can't be denied
For every man who ever rose and flew
There was a man who cried
Even preachers must pray
Even salesman buy
Do what's right for you
Darlin', all you can do is try.....

Must i,
Must i cry any longer?
Can we try anymore?
Am i worth it anymore?
Why don't we try a little harder?
To let the good outnumber the bad
Must i,
Must i cry any longer?
Can we try anymore?
Can we try again?
Try again.....

Verse 1:
Something's funny 'bout your touch lately
It's like you've been touching someone else
And the sound of your voice,
Well something's stopping you from being yourself
We've always been honest -
And painfully so -
So tell me though i don't want to hear

I have to ask you
Where have you been?
'cause i think i know the answer
And it's not what i wanted to hear
Dear, where have you been?
I've been waiting up for you
I don't want to accuse but
Your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
I don't want to hear it but -
The truth -
Where have you been?

Verse 2:
(well) i know it's easy to lose faith
We look simply for a change of pace
And i know my moods, they go up and down
But when you're climbing walls, don't i stick around?
You caught me
On some little white lies
It's you who taught me
About silent goodbyes

I have to ask you
Where have you been?
'cause i think i know the answer
And it's isn't what i wanted to hear
Dear, where have you been?
I've been waiting up for you
I don't want to accuse but
Your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
I don't want to hear it-
But the truth-
Where have you been?

Bridge:
A silent cry fills the room
I hear it no sooner than the words ring true
I knew it all along
Please erase this song
End this harsh reality
What did you do to me? oh.....

I have to ask you
Where have you been?
'cause i think i know the answer
And it isn't what i wanted to hear
No
I've been waiting up for you
I have to ask you
Where have you been?
I think i know the answer
It's written all over your face

No-no-no
No-no-no-no
I don't want to know - yeah

Your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
I don't want to hear it -
But the truth -
Where have you been?
I don't want to hear it - but tell me
Where have you been?
No...
Where have you been?
Where have you been?

Chorus/chant:
Reverse psychology
Doesn't work on me
It works my nerves
But i think logically
So don't rehearse what you're gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? i won't nurse it
I don't buy psyche - so why reverse it?

Verse 1:
Games are good for attention (mmm-yeah!)
But in the end they let you down
Hold me back or let me go
But no more middle ground

Boy, you've got to play your cards right
Get on back to the basics of love
We don't need no mindless mind games
A little give and take - push and shove -
A little honesty is what i'm in need of!

Chorus/chant

Verse 2:
Don't you know i've seen it all
Though i seem naive to you
(so now) hit me with anything at all -
Just hit me with the truth - yeah!

You keep thinking one of these days you'll
Push my back against the wall (against the wall)
It's too late for tricks of the trade now
I can escape anything at all - oh!
A little push and shove - give and take -
But i won't fall!

Chorus:
Reverse psychology
Doesn't work on me (never did, never will)
It works my nerves
But i think logically
So don't rehearse what you're gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? i won't nurse it
I don't buy psyche - so why reverse it?

Bridge:
Why wait till something better comes along?
Why not stay steady and strong? (steady and strong)
A silver lining cannot be far away (be far)
You'll get much further if you
Do what you mean and mean what you say

1-2-3-i said.....

Chorus:
Reverse psychology
Doesn't work on me
It works my nerves
But i think logically (oh so much)
So don't rehearse what you're gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? i won't nurse it
I don't buy(i don't buy it) psyche - so why reverse it?

Chorus/chant

Jam! jam!
I said, jam!
Reverse psychology style
Jam
Jam (oooo - yeah!)

Everyone'll try to put you down
Everyone'll try to tell you no
If you've got a dream inside
You're the only one who can know

Don't let nobody own ya
Just say "one day i'll show ya"
Revenge'll sure feel nice
If inside you've paid the price -

Chorus:
You know it and you've gotta stand your ground
You've earned it - no one can cut you down
They'll try to get what they can
When you're strong, everyone's your friend
Guard the jewel you've found
You've gotta stand your ground

Come on everybody clap your hands
Doesn't it feel good to take a stand?
Music is my only release
Gotta fight for peace
Fight for the beat

Whether you want for yourself or for others
Stand up for your sisters and brothers
Just do what you wanna do
No one can say what's right for you - oooo!

Chorus

Yo, fred! check this one out!

Rap:
You know you feel helpless on your own
Swallow your pride - don't you go it alone
Don't you run away from what is right
Stand your ground - stay there and fight
The only police are in your mind
You gotta work - now work now double time
'cause runnin' only lets 'em get the best of you
So stand your ground
Do watcha gotta do.....

Yo, ira!

(you know it) you've gotta stand your ground
(you've gotta stand your ground)
(you've earned it)
No one can cut you down, down, down, down
They'll try to get what they can
When you're strong, everyone's your friend
Guard the jewel you've found
You've gotta (you know it) stand (stand)
You've gotta stand your ground
You've gotta stand (stand, stand) yeah!
Stand your ground
They'll try, they'll try, they'll try
Guard the jewel you've found
Listen up, listen up (listen up)
Stand your ground

Verse 1:
Come with me,
To a place where
All is free
No one to tell you what to do,
How to tell me your feelings
Just, pure honesty...

Verse 2:
I know that,
If we were
Given space
Baby we'd find our place
Together
But people get in the way
'cause they don't understand.

Chorus:
All alone.....
I want to be
All alone.....
Sharing my heart, my home
In your arms
All alone.....
No people and no telephone,
Just you and i.....
One hand, one heart.

Verse 3:
How can you
Sit around taking
In the view
While people tell you
What to do
You know it ain't right.....
Use your mind
Leave the whole world behind.....
They're only temporary friends
Your happiness depends on you.

Chorus

Bridge:
Everyone has their own opinions
Well everyone knows what to do.
Just look around and keep your eyes wide open this time
If they're in love would they listen to you?

Let's share our heart, a home in your arms
All alone.....
No people and no telephone,
Just you and i.....
One hand, one heart.

Chorus/intro:
It's gonna take a miracle
To give up my hope and get on with my life
Oh that mystic moment
A split-second stop
Of my heart
And with this miracle
Comes unwanted reality
'cause this so-called miracle
Has turned into a tragedy

Verse 1:
Baby, what ever did i do (i do, i do, i do...)
To make you not only turn away
But turn, oh so far away
Never considering turning back

Verse 2:
I need you to know i'll never smile
Until we reconcile (until we reconcile)
I know now that that won't happen
Somehow i'll try and cope
But i just can't get out of my head
That glimmer of hope

Everybody tells me i need time away from you
But your the only thing in my world
And that's the last thing i wanna do

Chorus

Verse 3:
Baby, whatever did i do
To make you not only go away
But twist every word i say
To make the tables turn.....

Verse 4:
You're sayin' i'm the one who's at the core
Yes, i'm the one who glanced at the door
(oh, slammed the door)
But you're the one who turned the handle
Tried to burn the candle at both ends

At both ends you lead me
On and on and on
You really, really took me
Now you've left, my mind is gone (when you left)

Chorus:
And it's gonna take a miracle (it's gonna take a miracle)
To give up my hope and get on with my life
Mystic moment
A split-second stop
Of my heart
And in this miracle
Comes unwanted reality (i don't want a reality)
'cause this so-called miracle
Is really a tragedy

Bridge:
It's easy to give advice
When your heart's not in it
But the best thing for me to do is let go
But somehow i get lonely
It's hard to stand and face the crowd
Doin' a one-woman show

Chorus:
It's gonna take a miracle
(miracle, miracle...)
(it would take a miracle, miracle...)
Well everybody tells me i need time away from you
But your the only thing in my world
And that's not what i'm gonna do

It's gonna take a miracle
(it's gonna take, it's gonna take...)
To get on with my life
Oh, oh mystic moment (it's a mystic moment)
A split-second stop
Of my heart
And in this miracle
Comes unwanted reality
(it's a miracle, it's a miracle)
[i don't want a reality]
This so-called miracle
Just isn't my reality

It's gonna take a miracle
(it's gonna, it's gonna take a miracle)
To give up my hope and get on with my life
(it's gonna, it's gonna take a miracle)
Mystic moment
A split-second stop
Of my heart
And with this miracle (it's gonna take a...)
Comes unwanted reality (i don't want a reality)
This so-called miracle
Has turned into a tragedy
Tragedy - doo...

Who says it's a miracle? (who says it's a miracle?)
Who says it's a miracle?
This so-called miracle
Is really not a miracle
Who says it's a miracle?
Not me, not me...
This so-called miracle
This so-called miracle

Watch it
Watch it.
Watch it!
Go!

Rap:
Always gotta be one step ahead
You know where you're lying
When you make your own bed
You'll never end up in the red
So watch your step, one step ahead

Intro:
Energy up!
Bring the energy up!
On the double

Verse 1:
Steppin' on toes is a common routine
Sneakin' up from behind
You won't get anywhere
Dancin' out of time
If you're living up to expectations
You may as well be dead
Gotta go for it - gotta go for it
Always gotta be one step ahead
So -

Chorus:
Don't calm down
Bring the energy up
Don't depend on lady luck
Can't walk - you just run instead
If you want to be one step ahead

Verse 2:
Look over your shoulder
And predict what's to come
You're not feeling life if you're simply numb
So don't be dumb - grab the brass ring
You really can't depend on anything
Gotta make it happen all by yourself
Why rely on anyone else?
So-

Chorus

Don't calm down
Bring the energy up

Don't depend on lady luck
Can't walk - why not run instead?
If you wanna be one step, one step ahead

Bridge:
This dream is holding me tight
Keeping me up all night - oh
It's not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think i'll get it?
Think i may, say i might - oh -

This dream is holding me tight
Keeping me tossing and turning
It's not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think i'll get it?
With the way i'm burning
I just might!

It's time to rap -
Huh!

Rap:
Always gotta be one step ahead
You know where you're lying
When you make your own bed
You'll never end up in the red
So watch it!

Don't calm down, bring the energy up
You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
(you gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)
Are you listenin'?
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
(you gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah!

Don't calm down
Bring the energy up
Don't depend on lady luck
Can't walk - gonna run instead
If you want to be one step ahead (i know you do, huh!)

(don't calm down, bring the energy up)
You gotta be one step ahead,
If you know what's good for you
If you know what's good for you
(don't calm down, bring the energy up)
Don't - no - why rely on lady luck?
Don't calm down, bring the energy up!

There's this guy.....
You see, he's got all the girls talkin'
Makes 'em sweat

They wish they had him
But, they never will

Who can give 'em that extra thrill

There's this girl named genevieve
I know what she's got up her sleeve
Think she can steal his heart from me
But that's an impossibility
She's only good for just one thing
But me i get to wear his ring
People are talkin' in the street
About the guy who gives off the heat

Bridge

Leads the other boys
Shows them where to go

Break:

Back home where you belong
