Track 1: Stay Home
I believe in self-assertion
Destiny is like diversion
Now it seems I've got my head on straight

I'm a freak without provision
Seems I've made the right decision
Try to turn back now, it might be too late

And it's off to the morning and back again
Same old day, same situation
The happiness is back as if to say

I wanna stay home today
Don't wanna go out
If anyone comes to play
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don't want no company
No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah

A simple life's my cup of tea
I don't need nobody but me
What I wouldn't give just to be left alone

I wanna be a millionaire someday
And know what it feels like to give it away
Watch me march to the beat of my own drum

And it's off to the morning and back again
And it's over and over and over again
Same old day, same situation
The happiness is back as if to say

I wanna stay home today
Don't wanna go out
If anyone comes my way
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don't want no company
No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah

?? rain every day
Everyone would just stay away now
Come another day
Come another day

I wanna stay home today
I wanna stay home today,
I wanna stay home, stay home, stay home, stay h-

I wanna stay home today
Don't wanna go out
If anyone comes to play
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don't want no company
No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna stay home
Don't wanna go out
If anyone comes my way
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don't want no company
No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Track 2: I'm A Believer
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
The more I gave, the less I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
ya ya ya ya ya ya
I'm a believer
I'm a believer

Track 3: Like Wow!

Everything looks bright standing in your light
Everything feels right, what's left is out of sight,
What's a girl to do? I'm feeling you,
You're on my mind

Pre-chorus
I wanna be with you,
When you're standing next to me (It's like wow)
Ya know your kisses seem to set me free (It's like wow)
Cuz when we touch, it's such a rush, I can't get enough,
It's like, it's like...

Chorus
Ooh ooh ooh, hey, what?
It's like wow (3x)
Ooh, hey, what,
It's like wow

Should I hesitate when it feels this great?
Don't wanna make a big mistake,
Don't wanna make ya think I'm playin' games,
I'm just tryin' to say

Pre-chorus - repeat

Chorus - repeat

Bridge
Fascinated by your love, you know it's all I'm thinking of,
Have I waited long enough? My mind and heart are all mixed up,
Feeling higher than a cloud, all my senses are like wow
Ooh, hey, what... it's like wow.

(Ooh, hey, what)
Spoken: You know it's all I'm thinking of

Never felt this feelin',
It's real and it's just like wow

Track 4: It Is You (I Have Loved)

There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There's a smile, there's a truth in your eyes

But an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it mean this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along

It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along

There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you

But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along

It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along

Over and over
I'm filled with emotion
Your love, it rushes through my veins

And I am filled
With the sweetest devotion
As I, I look into your perfect face

It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you I have loved all along

Track 5: Best Years of our Lives

I get such a thrill
When you look in my eyes
My heart skips a beat, girl
I feel so alive
Please tell me baby
If all this is true
'Cause deep down inside
All I wanted was you

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives

When we first met
I could hardly believe
The things that would happen
That we could achieve
So let's be together
For all of our time
We'll go out so thankful
That you are still mine

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives

My world's a better place
'Cause I know you're mine
This love is so real
And it's no surprise

Come on and say, "Yeah"
I got a song
Yeah..
'Cause through the years
I'll be right by your side

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives

See, you always consider me
Like a ogre, nothing
And treat me
Like a Notre Dame
I says why
I helped you keep my shine on
A perky little something
To keep my mind on
'Cause you had my mind gone

Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa-aa
Turn the lights on
Come on baby
Let’s just rewind the song
'Cause all I wanna do is make
The rest years the best years
All night long

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives

Track 6: Bad Reputation

I don't give a d**n about my reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
Hey, a girl can do what she wants to do
And that's what I'm gonna do

And I don't give a d**n about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me

And I don't give a d**n about my reputation
I never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only feeling good when I'm having fun
And I don't have to please no one

And I don't give a d**n about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me

And I don't give a d**n about my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care if I'm strange
I ain't gonna change

And I'm never gonna care about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Break it down

And I don't give a d**n about my reputation
The world's in trouble, there's no communication
And everyone can say what they want to say
It never gets better anyway

So why should I care about a bad reputation, anyway
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me

Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me

Track 7: My Beloved Monster

my beloved monster and me
we go everywhere together
wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves
gets us through all kinds of weather

she will always be the only thing
that comes between me and the awful sting
that comes from living in a world that's so damn mean

my beloved monster is tough
if she wants she will disrobe you
but if you lay her down for a kiss
her little heart it could explode

she will always be the only thing
that comes between me and the awful sting
that comes from living in a world that's so damn...
mean

la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la

Track 8: You Belong To Me

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me

And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

Track 9: All Star

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

(Chorus)
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

Chorus

Chorus

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Chorus

Track 10: Hallelujah

I've heard there was a secret chord
that David played
and it pleased the Lord
but you don't really care for music much, do you?
it goes like this:
the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall
the major lift
the baffled king, composing hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah

Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to a kitchen chair
she broke your thrown, she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah

baby, I've been here before
I know this room
I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah

there was a time you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you,
Your holy dark was moving too
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah

Maybe there's a god above
and all I ever Learned from love
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
it's not a cry you can hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah

Track 11: I'm On My Way

I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way to what I want from this world
And years from now you'll make it to the next world
And everything that you receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered

I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took the road that brought me to your home town
I took the bus to streets that I could walk down
I walked the streets to find the one I'd looked for
I climbed the stair that led me to your front door

And now that I don't want for anthing
I'd have Al Jolson sing "I'm sitting on top of the world"

I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can
I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can
To keep my feet from jumping from the ground dear
To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear
To keep the past, the past and not the present
To try and learn when you teach me a lesson

And now that I don't want for anything
I'd have Al Jolson sing "I'm sitting on top of the world".

Track 12: I'm A Believer (Reprise)

Come on, y'all

Then I saw her face (ha-ha)
Now I'm a believer (listen)
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
(Ooh, ahh, yeah)
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer (hey)
Not a trace (uh, yeah)
Of doubt in my mind (one more time)
I'm in love
I'm a believer (come on)

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe,
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, hey
(I'm a believer)
Y'all sing it with me

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Oh, that's fun
Oh, oh
