Want 03:35
when you burn you know you shine and you the kind to stay on my mind and i know it don't mean a thing that i mean everything i sing but all sing is all i am and what you are? aw you break my heart and i ended up broken down but i'm singing now. i'm singing loud and i'm singing out. can you hear me now? can you feel me now? i'm singing: you do me so wrong but there is no other you're the one i want. the one i want. eight million people that won't ever stop fighting for your love for their chance on top. 'get paid or get slain!'-- your motto echoes through the streets screamed from a high-rise penthouse that can't ever be reached. 'man: how ya doin? where ya goin?' 'well, i have to say i'm showin' what it means to be movin'--what it means to keep improving on the way i've been feeling--the way i've been dealin'--i've been givin' but receivin' no love from you. but yeah you do me so wrong but there is no other no(w) you're the one i want. you are always on my mind... at the start I was fine but now i'm feelin' so tired. why don't you ever stop? why won't you ever sleep? i could leave but where would i go? you've got your grip you've got control. i know it don't mean a thing cos you may never ever know my motherfucken name but i'm here and i'm gonna try....i'm gonna stay here and make it or stay, fail, and die, my love. there is no other-- you're the one i want. you do me so wrong but you're the one i want. you string me along but you're the one i want.

Holding On 04:23
lyrics: When you’re hanging on longer than most would expect You’re probably hanging By your neck You’re too afraid to let go Too afraid to look down But darling your feet are already touching the ground There's no way you could fall So why are you holding on? You’re spending your days working your life away You’re coming home so late and don’t have nothing to say You feel like you’re running in place in a hundred year race. But friend you’re gonna lose if you don’t choose To move on to What’s next for you('ve) Got smarts and charm and a big ol’ heart And people who love you to keep you from harm. Yeah there’s no way that you could fall So why are you holding on? There ain’t no way that you could fall So why are you holding on? (Solo) You’re not killin’ yourself but maybe killin’ your soul man, you don’t need that job no more! Stop looking down and start looking up Forget about the way it was Just forget about The way it was Because… There ain’t no way that you could fall There ain’t no way you could fall There ain’t no way that you could fall So why, yeah why Keep holding on? Why keep holding on? (repeat) (There ain’t no way that you could fall.)

I hear her voice resonate from my dreams into my days. I can hear her most any place. Walking in that pouring rain; Riding in that underground train-- One thing I'll always know for sure: I'll never shake the thought of her. She's got a hold on me and she knows I want her so. She won't let go of me, no, she knows I can't say no. She's in control. I gave up my bad tastes. I gave up the things I loved that she loved to hate. My heart. My mind. My trust. My soul. Now they're dried up and broken; ain't no use no more. She said she don't wanna see me again. That's alright-- It's alright. I don't deserve another chance. I'm gonna keep the pressure on because she's the one I want. Give it another go? Lay it on some more? Sit her right on down? I ain't gonna mess around... The girl is in control. She ain't gonna let me go. All I know all I can say is that I need some more of that love she makes. She got the flavour I love that I will always crave. Man, I ain't gonna lie to you: She's the one that's gonna make you play the fool...The one that's gonna make me play the fool.
