(Verse 1)
Years and years of failed connections
Time and time again
Wondering why it's happening
Yeah, it caused a lot of pain

(Verse 2)
It went on and on
Leaving me really wondering why
Was it me or was it them?
It was enough to make me cry

(Verse 3)
But you then you came in to my life
And it all fell in to place
Thank god for all the fails
'Cause with an Angel I'm now face to face

(Chorus)
Yeah, now I know you're why I failed
With others over the years
Yeah, now I know you're why I failed
'Cause you're the answer to all my prayers

Yeah you're the reason why
Why with others we were just wrong
But baby, these aren't words of blame
No, they're for you, words of a love song

(Verse 4)
Some we'd lasted for for minutes
One, we'd lasted for years
Some ended in celebration
And some (pause), yeah some in tears

(Verse 5)
And yes, it can be called a 'learning curve'
Matching traits, yeah I think you and I blend
But would I have ever met you, the answer to my prayers
If with one of those before, there'd never been an end?

(Chorus)

(Verse 6)
So now I know finding true love
Can be like climbing a ladder, thank God I didn't stop
'Cause when I got to the last step and met you
I knew, I knew, I knew for me I was at the top

(Music interlude)

(Final chorus)

(Fade out)
Yeah, now I know
Now I know
Now I know you're why I failed
'Cause you are the answer to all my prayers.

(Verse 1)
My heart and my mind, not always been lucky
To get to share a place of love
But my mind's always assured my heart
That one day it's come
Yeah, one day it'd come from above

(Verse 2)
Then all of a sudden there you were
From a place I'd never have guessed
Colouring my world like never before
You certainly from above, and me certainly blessed

(Chorus)
'Cause baby, in my heart and mind
You take me places I've never been
And every place you take me
Is a place I've always dreamed

'Cause yeah, I'd dreamed about loving someone
Loving someone completely, that's what I mean
And thats how you make my heart and mind feel
When you take them to those places
Yeah, to those places I've never been

(Verse 3)
Oh baby the places you take me
In my heart and in my mind
It makes me realise there's no other place
No other place where another like you I'd find

(Verse 4)
Yeah, I could search the world from top to bottom
Look in every town and city
But I know there's no one else in any other place
Who could take me to every place you take me

(Verse 5)
So baby in my heart and mind
Every place you take me, it's where I wanna be
'Cause I love going to every place, every place
Yeah, I love going to every place
To every place you take me

(Chorus x 2)

(Final fade out)
Yeah baby, in my heart and mind
Every place you take me
Is a place I've never been
Yeah, every place you take me
Is a place I've always dreamed.

(Verse 1)
We ain't been together for too long
So how do I know you're not just sayin' all the right things
Maybe I'm not gonna know, not gonna know
Until accidentally my phone rings.

(Verse 2)
'Cos you call me often enough
When you know what I'm gonna hear
But what if one time you called me
With a 'Pocket call', 'n didn't know I was there?

(Verse 3)
Then what would I hear?
What would you be sayin'?
Would I then know with my feelings
That all you're doing is playin'?

(Chorus)
So, yeah, what I need is some pocket call confirmation
Pocket call confirmation that you want me for real
Yeah, I need me some pocket call confirmation
Pocket call confirmation that what you're saying to me is really what you feel.

(Verse 4)
So, I've heard blood is thicker than water
Does your family hear bad stuff about me?
But, hey, I think I'm wasting my time with that one
Barkin' up the wrong family tree.

(Verse 5)
And your friend's are your friends
So would they ever tell me of a concern?
I doubt it, I doubt it, I really do doubt it
That ain't a way that I'm gonna learn.

(Chorus)
So, yeah, what I need is some pocket call confirmation
Pocket call confirmation that you want me for real
Yeah, I need me some pocket call confirmation
Pocket call confirmation that what you're saying to me is really what you feel.

(Verse 6)
You head off to work
Must chat with mates and maybe even your Boss
But the motto there's, 'what's said at work, stays at work'
So all I'd get from there, maybe just a little goss.

(Verse 7)
And it's cute that you share things with your four-legged pal
As they're said to be a 'man's best friend'
But let's face it, any secrets shared there
Are gonna stay secrets, secrets 'til the end.

(Chorus)
So, yeah, what I need is some pocket call confirmation
Pocket call confirmation that you want me for real
Yeah, I need me some pocket call confirmation
Pocket call confirmation that what you're saying' to me is really what you feel.

Yeah, tell me, how I'm gonna get me some pocket call confirmation?
Pocket call confirmation that you want me for real
Yeah, how'm I gonna get me some pocket call confirmation?
Pocket call confirmation that what you're sayin' to me is really what you feel.

(Music, with the sound of a 'pocket call', with a guy talking to a mate, saying only good things about his girlfriend.)

(Then ends with girl/singer saying "Ahhh, so you DO want me for real, it is REALLY what you feel.")

The last few steps towards you

(Verse 1)
On my way to arrivals
To pick you up baby, you're on your way
Been waiting, waiting, ohhhh waiting
Such a long time for this day

(Verse 2)
There's been many steps in the journey
In the journey of getting you here
But every step's just about over
And then to you I'm gonna be near

(Verse 3)
But when I know the only steps left
Are the footsteps between you and I
Then hold me back, hold me back
Yeah, hold me back, huh, just try

(Chorus)
"Cos for those last few steps towards you
I'm gonna be outta control
There ain't gonna be any walking
And there ain't gonna be any stroll

Yeah, for those last few steps towards you
There's gonna be no set pace
"Cos you'll be there, you'll be there before me
Be able to touch your beautiful face.

And I'll wrap you in my arms
Like I never wanna let you go
'Cos that's where the last few steps towards you take me
I just really want to know.

(Music)

(Verse 4)
So then for a while we'll be together
Love, every step of the way
And my eye's'll be able to look towards you
Not always having words to say.

(Verse 5)
But after a while, hey we both know
The time will come for you to depart
That's the time I'm sure not looking forward to
As then it's time for a new wait to start.

(Verse 6)
So 'til then let's you and I
Make memories better than any postcard someone might send ya
Make memories of you and I together
Memories that we'll always wanna remember.

(Chorus)
Memories like, those last few steps towards you
When, yeah, I was outta control
When there wasn't any time for walking
And there sure wasn't any time to stroll.

Yeah, for those last few steps towards you
There sure wasn't any set pace
'Cos you were there, you were there before me
Was able to touch your beautiful face.

And I'll remember wrapping you in my arms
Like I never wanted to let you go
'Cos that's where the last few steps towards you take me
I just really want you to know.

(Music)

(Final chorus - fade out)
Yeah baby, oh baby, I'll always remember
Those last few steps towards you
And never wanting to let you go
Yeah, that's where , yeah that's where
The last few steps towards you take me
I just really want you
Yeah I just really want you
I just really want you to know.

Flying apart

(Verse 1)
The space between us
It's so far, it's so far to measure
But the love between us
That's really, that's really what I treasure

(Verse 2)
When we get to be hand in hand
Oh, the times they're far too rare
And whenever I have to leave
I just wanna be back, be back with you right there

(Chorus)
But we're flying apart, we're flying apart
Heading for different lands, it's not by desire
And as the Triple 7 climbs
With it too, I know my grief will get higher and higher

Yeah we're flying apart, we're flying apart
Until next time we fly together
And I know baby that I'll forget you, that I'll forget you never

(Verse 3)
At the final check-in, with others around
We somehow nonchalantly say our goodbyes
But soon enough I know there'll be tears
There'll be tears that stream from, tears that stream from my eyes

(Chorus)
But we're flying apart, we're flying apart
Heading for different lands, it's not by desire
And as the Triple 7 climbs
With it too, I know my grief will get higher and higher

Yeah we're flying apart, we're flying apart
Until next time we fly together
And I know baby that I'll forget you, that I'll forget you never

(Verse 4)
So, as I leave you behind
In my mind JK's singing that song
Like a grounded angel left behind
Seeing you again, seeing you again, it'd better not be too long

(Chorus)
But we're flying apart, we're flying apart
Heading for different lands, it's not by desire
And as the Triple 7 climbs
With it too, I know my grief will get higher and higher

Yeah we're flying apart, we're flying apart
Until next time we fly together
And I know baby that I'll forget you, that I'll forget you never

(Final chorus fade out)
Yeah, we're flying apart, we're flying apart
It's not by desire
And yeah babe, my grief, my grief, it's getting higher and higher

Yeah we're flying apart, we're flying apart
Until next time we fly together
And I know baby that I'll forget you, that I'll forget you never
I know baby that I'll forget you, that I'll forget you...
...Never.

Next time, I'll still be in love with you

(Verse 1)
Last time, this time, next time
The pain of long distance love
Being able to count the times we're face to face
It's something for which I've had enough

(Verse 2)
But that by no way means
That for what we have I'm blue
'Cause I know for me that next time
Next time, I'll still be in love with you

(Chorus)
Yeah, last time, this time, next time
Each time my love's sure staying true
Yeah, last time, this time, next time
Yeah next time, I'll still be in love with you

(Verse 3)
Some may question is it a case
Just a case of 'absence making the heart grow fonder'?
Or is meeting in different places all over the world
Just meeting the lust, just meeting the lust to wander?

(Verse 4)
But over the years, for everyone we date
We weigh up the pro's and con's
And with you I've always, and still feel
That together we're way better than silver or bronze

(Chorus)
Yeah, last time, this time, next time
Each time my love's sure staying true
Yeah, last time, this time, next time
Yeah next time, I'll still be in love with you

(Verse 5)
And what the future holds?
For now we can really only hope and guess
But despite the distance, what we have
Still seems to be certainly from above, certainly blessed

(Verse 6)
So even though each time when we're leaving
My tears are about to start
Know that for me, forever babe
You're gonna be in my heart

(Chorus)
'Cause, last time, this time, next time
Each time my love's sure staying true
Yeah, last time, this time, next time
Yeah next time, I'll still be in love with you

'Cause last time, this time, next time
Each time my love's sure staying true
Yeah, last time, this time, next time
Yeah next time, I'll still be in love with you

(Final chorus fading out)
'Cause babe, last time (Music)
This time (music)
Next time (music)
Each time my love's sure staying, my love's sure staying true
'Cause babe, last time, this time, next time
Yeah next time, I'll still, I'll still, I'll still
Yeah, I'll still be so in love with you.

Later on, yeah later on in life
When we're old n wise, and close...close to the final tear

A love song written with just you in mind
A love song to share my thoughts
That anyone else like you I'd never ever find

(Verse 4)
So just like these lyrics now on paper
I'll never be changing my tune
I'll be loving you all the way to and back
Yeah, to and back from the moon

(Chorus)
'Cause later on, later on
I'll still be singing this song
Yeah later on, later on

Title - She loves me, she loves me HOT.

(Pre-verse intro)
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me...
She loves me HOT

(Verse 1)
To know how much she loves me
Don't need to pick petals to the last one
It's obvious my baby loves me hot
Yeah, way hotter than the sun

(Verse 2)
Mmmm, the way she comes in next to me
And hear the way she cries
The scent she has for me lingers
Don't need to open your eyes

(Verse 3)
Yeah, the answer to 'she loves me or she loves me not'
Don't need to shout it out loud
Just change'n one letter does it
Keep'n it discreet, two's company, three's a crowd

(Chorus)
Yeah, yeah
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me...
She loves me HOT

Yeah, I'm tell'n ya
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me...
She loves me HOT

(Bridge)

(Verse 4)
Yeah, I'm so glad she chooses me
Chooses me to be her lover
'Cause she makes me hotter than, hotter than
Hotter than a volcano shooting lava

(Verse 5)
An' with all kinds of things been suggested
Yeah, she's open, up for the game
Love 'n trust, trust 'n love
Hotter together when they're kinda one in the same

(Verse 6)
So I guess it's pretty obvious how I'd rate her
Yeah, she leaves all other's, all other's for dead
Could go on and on and on about her, but hey...
Back to the chorus, enough said

(Chorus, till the end)
'Cause, yeah my baby
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me, she loves me hot
She loves me...
She loves me HOT

Yeah, my baby
She loves me, she loves me hot
Yeah my baby she loves me
She loves me hot
She loves me, she loves me hot
Yeah my baby she loves me...
My baby she loves me
She loves me...
