1.Where It All Started
Dialogue:Picture this where it all started was back in Boston,
Mass. Some time ago (believe that) and by reopening the doors to
all youth a little salt was thrown on me and my boys (you know
what I'm sayin') but now we're back picking up where we left off
(aw yeah) and through this song, process of elimination will be
done (you better believe that)
Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike
Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike
The beginning of a dream
Where our ideas were born
(Tell em Ricky) To understand what this really means
Let's set the record straight
Once and for all and I'll tell you
'Cause other people imitate
And try their best to recreate
This is where it all started from
So they only perpetrate
But they can never duplicate
This is where it all started from
(Yo, it's on you Ron) It's nice to be the original
That all the counterfeits like to bite off
We only take it as a compliment
When they copy some of our material
To stay the best among the rest
We work to keep our movements fresh
This is where it all started from
You listen up dap instead of being clones
Why don't you think of something on your own
This is where it all started from
(Now there's one more thing we think you should know)
Don't be a victim to the wanna be
This is where it all started from
(A fake, a fake)
'Cause no other's ever gonna be (like us)
This is where it all started from
(Take that)
Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike
Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike
(We're cool) Cool it coooool it now
Let's sweeten it up
Candy girl
Count it off... 1... 2... 1... 2
But you better not, better not
Count me out
'Cause other people imitate
And try their best to recreate
This is where it all started from
So they only perpetrate
But they can never duplicate
This is where it all started from
To stay the best among the rest
We work to keep our movements fresh
This is where it all started from
You listen up dap instead of being clones
Why don't you think of something on your own
This is where it all started from
Yo wait a minute! Hold up! Wait! Stop! Huh! You didn't know we
was coming back like this on 'em my brother.
2.N.E. Heart Break
In store signing autographs at the mall
Next in line was a fly girl standing tall
Signed my name and said give me a call baby ya know
the girl screamed and fainted panic on the floor
The body gaurd pulled us the back door
I never saw her anymore- it was an in-store heartbreak
Live at five interview for Channel 2
Saw a cutie thought she was on the T.V. cre
She said after the show (I'll be waiting for you) cool
After the show she got into the car and what a scence
I didn't know she was only thirteen
It was a young girl heartbreak
People think we don't get lonely
But we're far away from home
One minute 20,000 people
But then they go home, we're alone
It's off to another city
Where everybody knows my name
But when I meet that perfect honey
Is it me she wants or is it my fame
Girlies and groupies and parties all night
Is the life that can lead you to a N.E. heartbreak
From city to city our friends and our fans
they're the ones who can keep us from having
N.E. heartbreak
Center stage N.E. was groovin'
The beatwas hard
And the girlies were movin'
There she was third row center coolin'
She was cold
Last note of the last song
House lights up they came on
When I looked she was gone
It was a 3rd row heartbreak
People think our life is easy
'cause they think we've got it made
But we're living underpressure
Just to be on top
And to give the best that we can give you
And to never let you down
We'll keep strivin' for perfection
N.E. heartbreak is coming to your town
Beware of N.E. heartbreak
Spreading fast and there's no cure
No need to run from heartache
It's gonna get you, get you for sure
Called up my girl and said
Meet me on the tour
I got a suite cold chillin' on the 50th floior
And I'll leave your ticket at the door
And baby don't forget the pumps
She lost her backstage pass and the room key
Then got stopped by hotel security
And I spent the whole night lonely
And it was a hotel heartbreak
3.I'm Comin' Home
Save tomorrow for me
I'm comin' home to you
Oh girl my baby
(repeat)
I just called you up
Because you've been on my mind
So I can tell you what I feel
Ooh I'm missing you
I've been away too long
Now I'm coming home to you
It's been hard for me
To fall asleep at night--my love
Because without you
I feel so--alone
So I'm coming home
Save tomorrow for me
I'm comin' home to you
Oh girl my baby
Save tomorrow for me
I'm coming home to you
Oh girl my baby
Since the day I left
And you went on your own way
My life's just not the same
Ooh baby I'm needing you
And longing for your touch
Can I get a message through
I can hardly wait
To hold you in my arms
Oh girl
So don't be busy
Cancel everything
'Cause I'm
Cause tomorrow's my day
Save tomorrow for me (aw baby)
I'm comin' home to you (and I want it all)
Oh girl my baby (my baby)
Save tomorrow for me (aw baby)
I'm coming home to you (girl, I'm comin' home)
Oh girl my baby (my baby)
Save tomorrow for me (missing you....needing you)
I'm comin' home to you (wanting you...each and every minute of
the day)
Oh girl my baby (yeah)
Save tomorrow for me (I know you know. Sugar, I know you know.)
I'm coming home to you (I'm comin' home to you)
Oh girl my baby (?)
Away too long
Missing you so I'm comin' home
Save me tomorrow
Away too long
Missing you so I'm comin' home
Save me tomorrow
Save tomorrow {Repeat away too long...}
(Baby save tomorrow 'cause I'm comin home)
(Because without you I feel so alone)
(Since the day I left)
(I was needing you)
(Now I'm comin' home)
(My baby to you)
(Can I get a message through)
(Because I'm comin' home)
(Home home home home)
(Home)
I love you. I love you, too.
4.Competition
I keep dreaming that one day the whole world
Will be together, will be together as one,
And there's nothing I can do, but pray that
It comes true, and keep on searchin' for
That miracle, that some say will never be
Competition, is the world summarized in
Just one word, and you know what I mean,
Friends competing with friends
will it ever end
I'm losing all of my patience,
I need a way out, and soon
Chorus:
Time and again we are fighting one another,
Hurting our sisters and hurting our brothers,
It's a shame, why do we play these games,
But they'll come a time when we all will be together,
Living as one in harmony forever,
You and I, we will light the sky (aaaaaaahhhhh)
If we're ever gonna be as one,
We'd better make some changes and fast,
And this time make it last
Cause if we all just take the time,
I'm sure that we will find, all of us
Shed blood of the same kind
And that's the bottom line so
(Chorus) 3x
Together as one
Together (harmony)
Together (harmony)
5.Boys to Men
GROWING UP CAN BE A PAIN
YOU'RE NOT AN MAN UNTIL YOU COME OF AGE
WE'VE GIVEN UP OUR TEENAGE YEARS
IN THE EFFORT TO PURSUE OUR CAREER
WHO ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY
OF HAVING TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILIES
WHO'S PROTECTING US FROM HARM
IS THERE ANYONE AROUND
THAT WE CAN TRUST
SO WE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS TO OUR QUESTIONS
LOOKING FOR ANSWERS
NO ANSWERS BUT WE'RE TAUGHT A LESSON EVERYTIME
THROUGH MISTAKES WE'VE LEARNED TO GATHER WISDOM
LIFE'S RESPONSIBILITY FALLS IN OUR HANDS
KEEP ON LEARNING
KEEP ON GROWING
'CAUSE WISDOM HELPS US UNDERSTAND
WE'RE MATURING
WITHOUT KNOWING
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT CHANGE BOYS TO MEN
OH THE GOALS WE SET MAY EXCEED REALITY
CAUSE FAILUREALWAYS A POSSIBILITY
WHO CAN TELL US THAT WE'RE WRONG
IT'S UP TO US TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
SO WE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
LOOKING FOR THE ANSWERS
NO ANSWERS BUT WE'RE TAUGHT A LESSON EVERYTIME
THROUGH MISTAKES WE'VE LEARNED TO GATHER WISDOM
'CAUSE WISDOM HELPS US SEE OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
6.If It Isn't Love
I DON'T LOVE HER
I TRIED TO TELL MYSELF
BUT YOU CAN SEE IT IN MY EYES
SO DON'T DENY
I CAN'T FOOL NO ONE ELSE
THE TRUTH IS IN THE TEARS I CRY CAUSE
CHOURUS:
IF IT ISN'T LOVE
WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY
WHY DOES SHE STAY ON MY MIND
IF IT ISN'T LOVE
WHY DOES IT HURT SO BAD
MAKE ME FEEL SO SAD INSIDE
OF IT ISN'T LOVE
I TOLD HER I'D NEVER FALL IN LOVE (RAP)
BUT NOW I KNOW BETTER
HOW DOES IT FEEL
I CAN'T DESCRIBE THIS FEELIN'
THAT CAME WHEN I SAW HER LAST NIGHT
SHE GOT TO ME
I'LL LET YOU KNOW THE REASON
I SAW HER WITH ANOHTER GUY SO
CHORUS
MAYBE SHE'LL TAKE ME BACK
HEY GIRL HE'S BEGGING
I MADE A BIG MISTAKE
WON'T YOU FORGIVE HIM GIRL
NOW I CAN FEEL IT
HE'S NEVER FELT BEFORE
I REALLY LOVE HER
YOU LOVE HER, WHAT?
IT TOOK MY HEART
TO SHATTER IN A THOUSAND PIECES
BEFORE I'D EVER DROP MY PRIDE
LOSING LOVE WORRYING ABOUT MY IMAGE
REALLY HELPED ME REALIZE THAT
CHORUS
7.That's The Way We're Livin'
Tonight
Tonight
Hey, what you're looking for is
Not so hard to find
It's in your eyes
Hurry
Don't hesitate you're running
Out of time yah yah
There's no need to be misled
There's no need to work
Oh no we'll show you the way (tonight)
Chorus:
We're working hard
We're striving for perfection cause
That's the way we're livin'
Perfection's hard, that's why we're
Working overtime
That's the way we're livin' for you
It's up to you, so don't you let nobody
Tell you what to do
Make up your mind
Cause life should be taken one day at a time
Step by step, one by one
We'll show you the way (tonight)
(Chorus)
Time, there's no better time (Repeat 2x)
(Chorus) and Time, there's no better time (repeated)
8.Crucial
Heart, beating strong
I was serious my love was furious
For you, only you, oh babe
Darling I don't know why
Can't leave you alone
You thrill me to the bone
You're the one
Obsession oh babe
Don't you know it was a crucial lovin'
Cru-cial
Crucial lovin'
Cru-cial
Chills, over me
Different from the rest
I won't settle for less
Hello, won't take no oh babe
From now on you and I
Stood the test of time
Still you're on my mind
Always, night and day oh babe
Don't you know it was a crucial lovin'
Cru-cial
Crucial lovin'
Cru-cial
I have more than told you
Girl I've got to show you
Feelings over load extreme
For the very first time
Girl you are my last time
You have taken over me
9.You're Not My Kind of Girl
Oh girl I know that you're
Attracted to me
And I should feel the same
About you
There's just something wrong
I don't know what it is
That keeps us from becoming a two
It's not your looks, you're very pretty
It's not your style, the way you dress is oh so fresh
It's not the way that you carry yourself
Oh, girl I'm sorry
You're not my kind of girl
Case you're the kind of girl That a man's dreams are made of
Oh girl I'm sorry
You're not my kind of girl
cause you're the kind of girl
that a man would be proud to call his own
Girl listen to me
You're so pretty
I wouldn't cgange a thing about you
But I've been in love before
So I know how it feels
And the chemistry just isn't there
10.Can You Stand the Rain
ON A PERFECT DAY
I KNOW THAT I CAN COUNT ON YOU
WHEN THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE
TELL ME CAN YOU WEATHER A STORM
'CAUSE I NEED SOMEBODY WHO WILL STAND BY ME
THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD TIMES
SHE WOULD ALWAYS-ALWAYS BE RIGHT THERE
SUNNY DAYS EVERYBODY LOVES THEM-TELL ME BABY
CAN YOU STAND THE RAIN
STORMS WILL COME-THIS WE KNOW FOR SURE
CAN YOU STAND THE RAIN
LOVE UNCONDITIONAL
I'M NOT ASKING JUST OF YOU
GIRL TO MAKE IT LAST
I'LL DO WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE
BUT I NEED SOMEBODY WHO WILL STAND BY ME
WHEN IT'S TOUGH SHE WON'T RUN
SHE WOULD ALWAYS BE RIGHT THERE FOR ME.
