Larger Than Life Single, 1999

If You Knew What I Knew

AJ: Ahhh yeah-eah-eah eah-es...

Seven a.m., thinkin' ‘bout you
Wondering if the thoughts I'm feeling
You're feeling too.
Like a new born child,
Soft to the touch;
Baby is it possible to love someone so much
Mmmm...

NICK: I wish I may,
I wish I might
Be that certain someone
You wish for every night
AJ: Ah

If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you said.
ALL (on say): Say what you said
BRIAN: If you knew what I knew
We'd be to[BRIAN lead with AJ:]gether instead,
AJ: Of you breaking my he-eart over things that aren't true.
ALL (through previous line): Breaking my heart
ALL: My lady, yeah
My lady, yes my lady
AJ: If you knew what I knew.

AJ: Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-[AJ lead with ALL with AJ:]ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

BRIAN: Ti-i-ime passes by,
The only tears I cry;
Are filled with disillusion and fears I have inside.
Like a lost soul,
I feel like I'm all alone
ALL: All alo-one
BRIAN: If only I could feel your pain
Within your heart of stone, oh oh

HOWIE: I wish I may,
I wish I might
Be that certain someone
You wish for every ni-ight

AJ: If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you sai-aid.
ALL (on say): Say what you said
BRIAN: If you knew what I knew
We'd be to[BRIAN lead with AJ:]gether instead,
AJ: Of you breaking my he-eart over things that aren't true.
ALL (through previous line): Breaking my heart
AJ: My lady-y yes
If you knew what I knew.

AJ lead with ALL: Then you wouldn't have to go,
Away
BRIAN: If you knew what I knew
ALL [through next three lines]: Always
AJ: Then you would be here
To stay right by my side
Always...... [through next line]

AJ: If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you sai-ai-aid.
ALL (on say): Say what you said
AJ: If you knew what I knew
We'd be to[AJ lead with BRIAN:]gether instead,
AJ: Of you breaking my heart over things that aren't true.
ALL (through previous line): Breaking my heart
AJ: My lady-y, yes
ALL: My lady, yes my lady

BRIAN lead with ALL: If you knew what I knew my baby,
You would never have said what you said.
If you knew what I knew my baby,
We would be together instead.
If you knew what I knew my baby,
You would never have said what you said.
If you knew what I knew my baby,
We would be together instead.

BRIAN: Girl if you knew
ALL: Say what you said
BRIAN lead with ALL: If you only woulda knew my baby,
We would be together instead.

BRIAN: Girl if you knew....
Love you always, woo!
BRIAN lead with ALL: If you knew what I knew my baby,
You would never have said what you said.

If you knew what I knew my baby,
We would be together instead.
Say what you said
If you knew what I knew my baby,
You would never have said what you said.
If you knew what I knew my baby,
We would be together instead.
Girl if you knew

Spanish Eyes

INSTRUMENTAL

HOWIE: Here we are
In the arms of one another
And we still
Go on searching for each o-othe-e-er
Knowing that hate is wrong
And love is right
For us tonight
And when I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight

[ALL harmonizing softly in background, through Brian's lines]

BRIAN: It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your [BRIAN lead with ALL:] Spanish eyes

NICK: Let it be
ALL (echo): Let it be
NICK: If we're nothing more than dreamers
Who believes
ALL (echo): Who believes
NICK: That we see no wall [NICK lead with ALL:] between us
NICK: How could they be in my heart
ALL (echo): In my heart
NICK: And in my mind
ALL (echo): In my mind
NICK: When all I can fi-i-ind
When I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful toni-ight

[ALL harmonizing softly in background, through Brian's lines]

BRIAN: It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize

BRIAN lead with ALL: Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes

AJ lead with ALL: I loved you from a distance, thought
I couldn't reach that far
I can't believe how close [AJ:] that [AJ lead with ALL:] we are
ALL: Ooh ooh ooh

AJ: When I loo--oo--oo--ook into-o-o your Spanish ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-eyes
And the world is so beautiful tonight

[ALL harmonizing softly in background, through Brian's lines]

BRIAN: It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me [BRIAN lead with ALL:] that I'm about [BRIAN:] to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
BRIAN lead with ALL: Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes [echoed]
