"Someone in the Dark" (solo nella SE del 2001)

All alone-wishing on stars,
Waiting for you to find me.
One sweet night I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend.

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
and touches off a spark that comes shining though,
It tells you never be afraid.
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow,
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow.
Like it was written in the stars I knew -
My friend, my someone in the dark was you.

Promise me we'll always be
walking the world together.
Hand in hand where dreams never end,
My star-secret friend and me.

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
and touches off a spark that comes shining though,
It tells you never be afraid.
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow,
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow.
Look for the rainbow in the sky !
I believe you and I
Could never really say goodbye-

Wherever you may be,
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me !
Wherever you may be,
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me !

(VERSION FINALE)

Though you're gone star-far away,
Each time I see I see a rainbow
I'll remember being with you
Smiles coming through my tears.

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
and touches off a spark that comes shining though,
It tells you never be afraid.
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow,
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow.
Look for the rainbow in the sky !
I believe you and I
Could never really say goodbye-
Wherever you may be,
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me !
Wherever you may be,
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me !

"Carousel" (solo nella SE del 2001)

She's from a world
Of popcorn and candy
Only your eyes for a dime
Little children laughing

I'm from a world
Of disapointments and confusions
But I want her to be mine
I started talking
She kept on walking
She disappeared into the crowd

I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On The carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away.

I was the clown
And she was the dancer
We both knew it wouldn't work
But we took our chances
What I can't recall
Is if there was a girl at all
Or was it my imagination?
I still remember
All of those faces
And now all I have is memories.

I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On The carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away.

Two different people
In love for an instant
To see that the circus came today
Sometimes I can hear her crying here
And I can hear her calling me.

Don't you know?
I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On The carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away

"Bad"

Your butt is mine
Gonna tell you right
Just show your face
In broad daylight
I'm telling you
On how I feel
Gonna hurt your mind
Don't shoot to kill
Come on,

Come on,

On count of three
To show your stuff
Or let it be...

And to me that's really true
But my friend you have seen nothin'

You're doin' wrong
Gonna lock you up
Before too long,
Your lyin' eyes
Gonna tell you right
So listen up
Don't make a fight,
Your talk is cheap
You're not a man
You're throwin' stones
To hide your hands

But they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
And my friends you have seen nothin'
Just wait 'til I get through...

Because I'm bad, I'm bad-come on
(Bad bad - really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad-you know it

You know I'm bad, I'm bad-you know it, you know

And the whole world has to answer right now
(And the whole world has to answer right now)
Just to tell you once again,
(Just to tell you once again)
Who's bad...

We can change the world tomorrow
This could be a better place
If you don't like what I'm sayin'
Then won't you slap my face...

Because I'm bad, I'm bad-come on
(Bad bad - really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad-you know it

"Speed Demon"

I'm headed for the border
It's on my mind
And nothin' really matters
I've got to be on time
Look in the view mirror
Is he hot on my tracks
Is he getting nearer
I feel some heat is on my back

(Speed demon)
Speedin' on the freeway
Gotta get a leadway
(Speed demon)
Doin' it on the highway
Gotta have it my way
(Speed demon)
Mind is like a compass
I'm stoppin' at nothin'
(Speed demon)
(He say) Pull over boy and get your ticket right...

And nothin' gonna stop me
Ain't no stop and go
I'm speedin' on the midway
I gotta really burn this road

(Speed demon)
Speedin' on the freeway
Gotta get a leadway
(Speed demon)
Doin' it on the highway
Gotta have it my way
(Speed demon)
Mind is like a compass
I'm stoppin' at nothin'
(Speed demon)
(He say) Just, pull over boy and get your ticket right...

Speed demon, you're the very same one
Who said the future's in your hands
The life you save could be your own
You're preachin' 'bout my life like you're the law
Gonna live each day and hour like
For me there's no tomorrow

Go! Go! Go! Aaow!

(Speed demon)
Speedin' on the freeway
Gotta get a leadway
(Speed demon)
Got fire in my pocket
I just lit a rocket
(Speed demon)
(He say) Just, pull over boy and get your ticket right
(Speed demon)
(He say) Pull over boy and get your ticket right
(Speed demon)
(He say) Just, pull over boy and eat your ticket
(He say) Pull over boy
(He say) Pull over boy
And get your ticket right
Ugh!
Aaow!
Uhh!
Hoo!
Get your ticket right
(He say) Pull over boy-get your ticket right
(He say) Pull over boy and get your ticket right
(He say) Pull over boy
(He say) Pull over boy and get your ticket
Eat your ticket
Get your ticket
Eat yo', get yo', Hoo! Aaow!
Get your ticket right

Liberian girl...
You came and you changed my world
A love so brand new
Liberian girl...
You came and you changed me girl
A feeling so true

Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world,
Just like in the movies,
With two lovers in a scene

(I love you too-I want you too-my love)

Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world,
I wait for the day,
When you have to say
"I do,"
And I'll smile and say it too,
And forever we'll be true
I love you, Liberian girl, all the time

(Girl)
I love you Liberian girl, all the time
(Girl)
I love you Liberian girl, all the time
(Girl)
I love you Liberian girl, all the time

Hoo hoo!
Dancin'-Hee!
Doggone lover!

I watched you on the floor
Cheek to cheek

You didn't see-her eyes on me-no
She looked right through you
(Before you make)
Before you make
(A big mistake)
Remember
That looks can fool you babe, hee!

There's something I would sure appreciate
(If you can keep a secret)

Baby loves me
But she never shows she cares
(No, you won't see her kiss and hug me)
Baby loves me

(That doesn't mean she doesn't love me-Ooo)

Just good friends...
Ah! Chika-chika-ah!
Ooo

You better take advice
Never trust-first impressions
I tried to hide this affair
From their suspicions

So even if she's asking you to stay
You better know where you stand
(You better know where you stand)

Baby loves me
Though she never shows she cares
(No, you won't see her kiss and hug me)
My baby loves me
Though she acts like I'm not there
(That doesn't mean she doesn't love me-Ooo)

Now if they ask you
Jus' tell 'em that we're just good friends...

Yes... Just good friends
(Just good friends...)
Root-do-do-do...
(Doot-do-do-do...)
Just good friends...

[Michael]
Listen up, hee... we've got a problem here
[Stevie]

[Both]
Is still making up her mind
(Mind)
(Say we're just good friends)

[Stevie]
Baby loves me
Though she never shows she cares
(Never shows she cares)
No you won't see her kiss and hug me
(Just good friends)
(My baby loves me)

Though she acts like I'm not there
You doggone lover, hee...

"Man In The Mirror"

I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right.

As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na)

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(Washed-Out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
(Starting with me!)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Ooh!)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and then make a change)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways-Ooh!)
And no message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make that...
(Take a look at yourself and then make that...)
Change!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
(Man in the mirror-Oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
No message could have been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)
You can't close your... your mind!
(Then you close your... mind!)
That man, that man, that man, that man
With that man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
You know... That man
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and then make a change)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na
(Oh yeah!)
Gonna feel real good now!
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na
(Ooooh...)
Oh no, no no...
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Come on!
(Change...)
Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it. Yourself!
(Yeah!-Make that change!)
I've got to make that change, today!
Hoo!
(Man in the mirror)
You got to
You got to not let yourself...
Brother...
Hoo!
(Yeah!-Make that change!)
You know-I've got to get that man, that man...
(Man in the mirror)
You've got to
You've got to move! Come on! Come on!
You got to...
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
(Yeah-Make That Change)
Stand up and lift yourself, now!
(Man in the mirror)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Aaow!
(Yeah-Make that change)
Gonna make that change... come on!
(Man in the mirror)
You know it!
You know it!
You know it!
You know...
(Change...)
Make that change

"I Just Can't stop Loving You"

I just want to lay next to you for awhile
You look so beautiful tonight
Your eyes are so lovely
Your mouth is so sweet
A lot of people misunderstand me
That's because they don't know me at all
I just want to touch you
And hold you
I need you
God I need you
I love you so much

[Michael]
Each time the wind blows
I hear your voice so
I call your name...
Whispers at morning
Our love is dawning
Heaven's glad you came...

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I'm so proud to say I love you
Your love's got me high
I long to get by
This time is forever
Love is the answer

[Siedah]
I hear your voice now
You are my choice now
The love you bring
Heaven's in my heart
At your call
I hear harps,
And angels sing

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I can't live my life without you

[Michael]
I just can't hold on

[Siedah]
I feel we belong

[Michael]
My life ain't worth living
If I can't be with you

[Both]
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop...
Then tell me just what will I do

[Siedah]
'Cause I just can't stop loving you

[Michael]
At night when the stars shine
I pray in you I'll find
A love so true...

[Siedah]
When morning awakes me
Will you come and take me
I'll wait for you

[Michael]
You know how I feel
I won't stop until
I hear your voice saying "I do"

[Siedah]
"I do"
This thing can't go wrong

[Michael]
This feeling's so strong

[Siedah]
Well, my life ain't worth living

[Both]
If I can't be with you
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop...
Then tell me, just what will I do

[Michael]
I just can't stop loving you

[Siedah]
We can change all the world tomorrow

[Michael]
We can sing songs of yesterday

[Siedah]
I can say, hey... farewell to sorrow

[Michael]
This is my life and I,

[Both]
Want to see you for always
I just can't stop loving you

[Siedah]
No, baby

[Michael]
Oh!

[Both]
I just can't stop loving you

[Siedah]
If I can't stop!

[Both]
And if I stop...

[Siedah]
No

[Michael]
Oh! Oh! Oh... Oh...

[Siedah]
What will I do? Uh... Ooh...
(Then tell me, just what will I do)

[Both]
I just can't stop loving you

[Michael]
Hee! Hee! Hee! Know I do girl!

[Both]
I just can't stop loving you

[Michael]
You know I do
And if I stop...

[Both]
Then tell me, just what will I do
