Lyrical No-No's I : European Album

(The First Seven)

We've Got it Goin' On

Creepin up and down now - How the hell do you creep up and down?

Send the crazy wildin' static - Wildin'? Is that even a word?

We've got it goin' on for years - It's we've HAD it goin' on for years, dear.

Well I'm creepin up on your left

Straight up funky when I get with ya

I get ruthless when I get wet

Keep the part packed in my corner

Tough like granite to keep the crowd hype

Get up on this just to get right

What you want is what you gonna get

Backstreet's got the special efffects - Okay, the entire thing makes no sense whatsoever, but... *raises eyebrows* the innuendos are very nicely put. BTW.... what kind of special effects?

Just can't hold it back no more - Who forgot their English? Do ya'll talk like that? ANY more, just can't hold it back ANY more. God, some people!

**Overall** Kick butt song! You know you gotta love it, dumb lyrics and all.

Get Down (You're the One for Me)

Okay, first of all, I don't see the the title and subtitle have to do with each other.

Hey baby love I need a girl like you - Baby Love? If someone called me that, I'd be laughing my head off.

I feel in heaven when I look in your eyes - Ok, besides the fact that it sounds like they're saying "I'm feeling Kevin", how do you feel in heaven? That makes no sense. "I feel like heaven" maybe, but not your way.

Bang Bang Bang

Here we come

Here we slam

It's the Fun Factory

With the BsBs

Get on your knees

Tryin to scream

Or touch me please

BsB, are you with it *Yeah*

AJ, hit it - "Or touch me please"? I don't even want to know. Another meaningless rap that's fun to TRY to sing nonetheless. BTW, did you notice they asked AJ to hit it? *cough cough!*

Smack it up, flip it, and move it all around - And children listen to this???

Put you at the top of my list - What list? Oh, so I'm not the only one. There's loyalty for ya.

**Overall** A good song to dance to, if totally meaningless

Anywhere For You

Far beyond the call of love, the sun, the stars, the moon - Ok, it rhymes, but what are you gonna do with the sun, stars, and moon?

I won't lose my way believe me - Run-on sentence. Someone needs to take a crash course in English... Badly.

But I knew the very minute - The very minute what???

Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, oohhhh (3x) - Okay, some one ran out of lyrics and stuck that stupid thing in there.

**Overall** A slow, sappy song that die-hard fans gush over and people like me... well, we tend to push the skip button when it comes on.

I'll Never Break you Heart

Baby, I know you're hurting.

Right now you feel like you could never love again.

Now all I ask is for a chance to prove, that I love you - Someone tell me why he got the stupid speaking lines? I mean, besides that fact that he has a sexy voice... hmmm?

I deserve a try honey, just once - Once? How about one. ONE try. There we go.

You walked in you were so quick to judge - Another run-on! Come ON guys!

As I walked by you, Will you get to know me a little more better. - Okay, first, it doesn't make sense. Second, a little MORE better? Good job, guys.

**Overall** It's my fave slow song by them, so I can't dis it too much.

Quit Playin' Games (With my Heart)

Even in my heart, I see - Ok, the meaning is caught, but if you take it literally.... Come on, people. How can you see in your heart?

I live my life the way to keep you coming back to me - Another sentence that makes NO sense whatsoever.

Oh baby baby, this is not a lie, lets stop this tonight - For four years, I thought he was saying "this is not RIGHT".. it sounded like it!!

**Overall** It was their first American hit, so you gotta love it.

Nobody but You

Ain't nobody else but you - Talk about incorrect English

Give me one more chance to make it right - and later on.... - There is nobody who can make it right - So who IS gonna make it right? Someone's got to do it.

**Overall** The title is the song, so obviously it wasn't hard to critique. Poor Kev.

I Wanna be With You

It's crazy but it's true - Oh, so you're crazy cause you want to be around me. I see how it's gonna be.

And everything I do - Is what? Stopping in mid-sentence AGAIN!!

When the light is fadin - What has that got to do with anything?

Yeah, everybody say

Yeah, see you once again

Yeah, everybody swing - Huh?? I'm not even going to say it. Obviously, they lost the inspiritation for lyrics again.

**Overall** Eh, Ok song, nicely written, except for those parts.

[ HoMe ] See?? They're corrupting me!
