So what am I not supposed to
have an opinion Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman Call me a bitch cos I speak what's on my mind Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled When a female fires back Suddenly the target don't know how to act So he does what any little boy will do Making up a few false rumors or two That for sure is not a man to me Slanderin' names for popularity It's sad you only get your fame through controversy But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say This is for my girls all around the world Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth Thinking all women should be seen not heard So what do we do girls Shout louder Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground Lift your hands high and wave them proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can never will can't hold us down Nobody can hold us down Nobody can hold us down Nobody can hold us down Never can never will So what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying Are you offended by the message I'm bringing Call me whatever cos your words don't mean a thing Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing If you look back in history It's a common double standard of society The guy gets all the glory the more he can score While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore I don't understand why it's okay The guy can get away with it the girl gets named All my ladies come together and make a change Start a new beginning for us everybody sing This is for my girls all around the world Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth Thinking all women should be seen not heard What do we do girls Shout louder Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can never will can't hold us down Here's something I just can't understand If the guy have three girls then he's the man He can either give us some head sex her off If the girl do the same then she's a whore But the table's about to turn I'll bet my fame on it Cats take my ideas and put their name on it It's aiight though you can't hold me down I got to keep on movin' To all my girls with a man who be tryin to mack Do it right back to him and let that be that You need to let him know that his game is whack And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back But you're just a little boy Think you're so cute so coy You must talk so big To make up for small lil' things So you're just a little boy All you'll do is annoy You must talk so big To make up for small lil' things This is for my girls This is for my girls all around the world Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth Thinking all women should be seen not heard So what do we do girls Shout louder Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can never will can't hold us down This is for my girls all around the world Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth Thinking all women should be seen not heard So what do we do girls Shout louder Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can never will can't hold us down Spread the word can't hold us down |

What do you do when you know something's bad for you And you still can't let go I was naive Your love was like candy Artificially sweet I was deceived by the wrapping Got caught in your web And I learned how to bleed I was prey in your bed And devoured completely And it hurts my soul Cos I can't let go All these walls are caving in I can't stop my suffering I hate to show that I've lost control Cos I I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away walk away walk away I should have known I was used for amusement Couldn't see through the smoke It was all an illusion Now I've been lickin my wounds but the venom seeps deeper We both can't seduce but darling you hold me prisoner I'm about to break I can't stop this ache I'm addicted to your allure and I'm fiending for a cure Every step I take Leads to one mistake I keep going right back To the one thing that I need I can't mend this torn state I'm in Getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve The pain of this slow burn And everywhere I turn I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I need to get away from it I need to walk away from it Every time I try to grasp for air I am smothered in despair it's never over over Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare I let out a silent pray Let it be over over Inside I'm screaming, begging, pleading no more Now what to do, my heart has been bruised, so sad but it's true Each beat reminds me of you It hurts my soul Cos I can't let go All these walls are caving in I can't stop my suffering I hate to show that I've lost control Cos I I keep going right back To the one thing that I need I'm about to break I can't stop this ache I'm addicted to your allure And I'm fiending for a cure Every step I take Leads to one mistake I keep going right back To the one thing that I need I can't mend this torn state I'm in Getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve The pain of this slow burn And everywhere I turn I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I say I need to get away from it I need to walk away from it Get away walk away walk away Only thing I need to do is walk away I need to get away from it I need to walk away from it I need to get away from it I need to walk away from it I need to get away from it I need to walk away from it I need to get away from it I need to walk away from it

Yo te contare una historia
De como un puertoriqueo me robo el corazon Nunca mas he vuelto a amar de esa manera Quizas jamas lo hare Es la historia de mi primer amor Era buen mozo con grandes y profundos ojos marrones Un bailarin Juntos nos perdimos en el ritmo del amor Asi es como comenzo |

He comes from a foreign place
an island far away Intrigues me with every move till I'm breathless I'm helpless can't keep my cool Steals my heart when he takes my hand And we dance to the rhythm of the band I feel his fingertips grip my hips and I slip as we dip into a state of bliss Mama used to warn me to beware those Latin lovers She said I gave my heart to soon and that's how I became your mother I said Ay Mama you seem to forget I'm not in love yet Sweet talk don't win me over But I realized big brown eyes can hypnotize When he says I am full blood Boricua Reads the tattoo on his arm He tells me Mami I need ya and my heart beat pumps so strong Getting lost in el ritmo he whispers te quiero te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation It's pure Infatuation yeah yeah yeah yeah Skin the color of cinnamon His eyes light up and I melt within Feels so good it must be a sin I can't stop what I started I'm givin' in He brings life to my fantasies Sparks a passion inside of me Finds the words when I cannot speak In the silence his heart beat is music to me Mama used to warn me not to rush love with another She said I'm not trying to lecture I just care about my daughter I said Ay Mama you seem to forget I never will let a man control my emotions But when he smiles I feel like a little child And when he says I am full blood Boricua Reads the tattoo on his arm He tells me Mami I need ya and my heart beat pumps so strong Getting lost in el ritmo he whispers te quiero te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation It's pure Infatuation Caught between my mama's words and what I feel inside I'm wanting to explore his world but part of me wants to hide Should I risk it can't resist it this has caught by suprise Should I let him take me to Puerto Rico I can't hold back no more Let's go tonight Papi hold me say that you adore me Never let go never leave me lonely Papi hold me say that you adore me Never let go never leave me lonely I am full blood Boricua Reads the tattoo on his arm He tells me Mami I need ya and my heart beat pumps so strong Getting lost in el ritmo he whispers te quiero te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation It's pure Infatuation Can't help my infatuation It's pure Infatuation yeah yeah yeah yeah |

People ask if I'm in love with you
Because I'm sitting here with your picture And smiling to myself I smile I'm kinda lost in my own thoughts of you My heart speaks before my mind thinks through And I blush as I say yes yes What a feeling of vulnerability coming over me And I'm feeling weak and I can't speak speak and I can't think Never thought I'd give in so willingly to a human being With abilities to set me free Free and let me be me Makes me want to say Your lips your eyes your smile your kiss I must admit t's a part of me You please me completly me believe me Like a melody Your soul your flow your youth your truth is simply proof We were meant to be But the best quality that's hookin me Is that you're loving me for me loving me Is that you're loving me for me People ask why I'm in love with you Well let me start by saying You got my heart by just being who you are And what we go is between me and you doesn't matter about the money I make Or what I do or that I'm a huh a star Unconditionally you're there for me Undeniably you inspire me spiritually oh so sweet This is meaningful it's incredible pleasurable unforgettable The way I feel so surreal Makes me want to say Your lips your eyes your smile your kiss I must admit it's a part of me You please me completely me believe me Like a melody Your soul your flow your youth your truth is simply proof We were meant to be But the best quality thats hookin me is that you're loving me for me loving me loving me Is that you're loving me for me It's so amazing how something so sweet Has come and rearranged my life I've been kissed by destiny Oh heaven came and saved me An angel was placed at my feet This isn't ordinary he's loving me for me Stripped of all make up no need for fancy clothes No cover ups push ups With him I dont have to put on a show He loves every freckle every curve every inch of my skin Fulfilling me entirely taking all of me in He's real he's honest and he's loving me for me Yeah |

I remember when it all first began
We were tight right from the start It wasn't long before you came on strong Trying hard to win my heart I played hard to get but I couldn't help I gave up my ironing You were thoughtful Careful not to hurt the relationship What happened to those days when You used to be compassionate Caring what I thought and said So attentive gentleman Now it's hard to turn your head away from the TV set Taking me for granted lately Frankly it's gotta quit I feel underappreciated Now girls help me out 'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say I'm feeling underappreciated For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment Back to the beginning to the very beginning When our love was something new Back when romance was important Not just another thing to do I was feeling high on love tonight Thought I never come back down Now it seems that you and me Have lost our solid ground Half the time I realise I seem to give more than I get Funny how things seem to change After a few years commitment Used to talk for hours on end 'Bout our dreams while we lay in bed How I missed those days when you stayed awake Now you roll over and snore instead I feel underappreciated Now girls help me out 'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say I'm feeling underappreciated For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment I miss those nice massages The long for closeness The way you talk How it turned me on The thoughtfulness and the sweetest lips I needed those days back I feel underappreciated Now girls help me out 'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say I'm feeling underappreciated For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment I feel underappreciated I feel underappreciated |

No matter what we do (no matter what we do) No matter what they say (no matter what they say) When the sun is shining through Then the clouds won't stay And everywhere we go (everywhere we go) The sun won't always shine (sun won't always shine) But tomorrow will find a way All the other times We are beautiful no matter what they say Yes, words won't bring us down We are beautiful no matter what they say Yes, words can't bring us down Don't you bring me down today Don't you bring me down today Don't you bring me down today

I'm leaving today
Living it leaving it to change Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze Tounge tied and twisted are all my memories Celebrating a fantasy come true Packing all my bags Finally on the move I'm leaving today I'm living it I'm leaving it to change As I'm driving I'm captured by the view So much beauty the road becomes my muse The heat is rising and my hand surfs through the wind Cool calm collective as a child that lies within See I'm leaving today I'm living it oh I'm leaving it to change See I'm leaving today Oh yes I'm living it I'm leaving it to change But somehow I'll miss it I think I'll really miss it one day I turn on the radio And I'm feeling like Ive never felt before Turn down the memories of yester years and broken dreams I'm free finally free Slowly drifting into the peaceful breeze I'm leaving today Oh yeah I'm living it oh yes leaving it to change to change Oh no see I'm leaving today oh yes I'm living it living it Leaving to change ohhh I'm leaving today Living it leaving it to change Living it leaving it Living it leaving it Living it leaving it to change But somehow I'll miss it I think I'll really miss it one day |

When they push when they pull
tell me can you hold on when they say you should change can you lift your head high and stay strong Will you give up give in when your heart's crying out that it's wrong Will you love you for you at the end of it all In life there's gonna be times when you're feeling low And in your mind insecurity seems to take control We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is Don't be scared to fly alone find a path that is your own Love will open every door it's in your hands the world is yours Don't hold back and always know all the answers will unfold What are you waiting for spread your wings and soar The boy who wonders is he good enough for them Keeps tryin' to please 'em all but he just never seems to fit in Then there's the girl who thinks she'll never ever be good enough for him Keeps tryin' to change and that's a game she'll never win in life gonna be times when you're feeling low And in your mind insecurity seems to take control We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is Don't be scared to fly alone find a path that is your own Love will open every door it's in your hands the world is yours Don't hold back and always know all the answers will unfold What are you waiting for spread your wings and soar In the mirror is where she comes face to face with her fears Her own reflection now foreign to her after all these years All of her life she has tried to be something besides herself Now time has passed and she's ended up someone else with regret What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending Gotta let ourselves be Don't be scared to fly alone that is your own Don't hold back and always know Don't wait no Don't hold back and always know |

Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall Young girl it's all right Your tears will dry you'll soon be free to fly When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems No one ever wants or bothers to explain Of the heartache life can bring and what it means When there's no one else Look inside yourself Like your oldest friend Just trust the voice within Then you'll find the strength That will guide your way you'll learn to begin To trust the voice within Young girl don't hide You'll never change if you just run away Young girl just hold tight And soon you're gonna see your brighter day Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid No one reaches out a hand for you to hold When you're lost outside look inside to your soul When there's no one else Look inside yourself Like your oldest friend Just trust the voice within Then you'll find the strength That will guide your way If you will learn to begin To trust the voice within Life is a journey It can take you anywhere you choose to go As long as you're learning You'll find all you'll ever need to know You'll make it You'll make it Just don't go saking yourself No one can stop you You know that I'm talking to you When there's no one else Look inside yourself Like your oldest friend Just trust the voice within Then you'll find the strength That will guide your way you'll learn to begin To trust the voice within Young girl don't cry I'll be right here when your world starts to fall |

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn How to grow up living in a war that she called home Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm It hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face Every time my father's fist would put her in her place Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room Hoping it would be over soon Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you kept me so afraid Strength is my mother for all the love she gave And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday And I'm OK I often wonder why I carry all this guilt When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door The echo of a broken child screamingp lease no more Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done For you it's just a memory but for me it still lives on Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you kept me so so afraid Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday It's not so easy to forget All the marks you left along her neck When I was thrown against cold stairs And everyday afraid to come home In fear of what I might see next Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you kept me so afraid Strength is my mothe for all the love you gave And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday And I'm OK I'm OK |

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face HOW And nobody's gonna bring me down today HOW Been feeling like nothing's been going my way lately But I decided right here right now That my outlook's gonna change That's why I'm gonna Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried Every time somebody hurt my pride Feeling like they won't let me live my life and Take the time to look at what is mine I see every blessing so clearly And I thank God for what I got from above I believe they can take anything from me but they Can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me They can say all they wanna say about me but I I'm gonna carry on carry on I'm a keep on keep on Singing my song I never wanna dwell on the pain again ooh no no There's no use in reliving how I hurt back then oh oh no Remembering too well the hell I felt When I was running out of faith oh Every step I'm about to take Well it's towards a better day Cause I'm about to Say farewell to every single lie all the fears I've held too long inside Every time I felt I couldn't try All the negativity and strife Cause too long I've been struggling couldn't go on But now I've found I'm feeling strong and I'm moving on I believe they can take anything from me but they Can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me Now they can say all they wanna say about me but I I'm gonna carry on carry on I'm a keep on keep on Singing my song Every time I tried to be What they wanted from me It never came naturally So I ended up in misery Was unable to see All the good around me Wasting so much energy On what they thought of me Than simply just remembering breathe I'm humanly unable to please Everyone at the same time So now I find my peace of mind Living one day at a time In the end I answer to one God Comes down to one love Till I get to heaven above I have made the decision Never to give in Till the day I die no matter what I'm gonna carry on I'm a keep on Singing my song I believe they can take anything from me I believe yeah they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me They can do what they wanna Say what they wanna say ohh oh They can say what they wanna But I'm gonna Keep on keep on I believe that they can take from me but they can't take my inner peace Ohh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Say what they wanna say wanna say I am gonna sing my song Oh oh oh yeah yeah |
