BRIAN: Oh your pretty smile
ALL: And if you take away the loving arms that surround me
Then I might break down and cry just like a chi-ild

Set Adrift on Memory Bliss

The candle plays the hourglass
The days go and all I do is
Think of you and wonder
Where you are at night
I remember everything, every smile
And even all the reasons why you say
I pushed you out of my life

Baby you set me,
Baby you set me,
Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
Baby you set me,
Set adrift on memory's bliss

Destiny is everything
Reality's replaced you with
The biggest empty void I've ever had in life
I bet you say that I don't care
I bet you say that I don't even think of you
But God knows how wrong you are

Baby will you be there
When the morning comes?
Just give me time to fix my life
Baby will you be there when I open my eyes?
After all the time I spent wishing you

Baby you set me,
Baby you set me,
Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
Baby you set me,
Set adrift on memory's bliss

Sadness that overwhelmed me
My mind flies and carelessly
Imagines that you're happy
With your life right now
I guess that's just the way it goes
Forever's gone, so now I must
Place you with all the things
That I could never have

Baby you set me,
Baby you set me,
Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
Baby you set me,
Set adrift on memory's bliss

That's The Way I Like It

That's the way I like it...

Somebody told me that you're not my kind
So have I lost my mind?
You keep on doing all the things I like
You got me hypnotized
But that's the way I like it

Girl you make me wanna move
It's a price I gotta pay
For all the things you do
But I like it

Gotta listen to the groove
And you gotta listen well
The way you do it
That's the way I like it

Everybody now
I like it
Everybody now
That's the way I like it
Everybody c'mon
I like it
Everybody c'mon
That's the way I like it

Oh mystery lady
You've got something I like
Tell me you're here to stay
You're dangerous, oh baby
Could you do me right?
Will you come out to play?
'Cause that's the way I like it

Gotta listen to the groove
And you gotta listen well
The way you do it
That's the way I like it

Everybody now
I like it
Everybody now
That's the way I like it
Everybody c'mon
I like it
Everybody c'mon
That's the way I like it
Everybody c'mon
I like it
Everybody c'mon

Gotta listen to the groove
And you gotta listen well
The way you do it

That's the way that I like it
That is the way I like it
That's the way that I like it
That is the way I like it
That's the way that I like it
That is the way I like it

Missing You

Thanx to Aundrea Marsh

NICK lead with ALL: Oh baby, I'-I-m missing you
We used to love so strong
Tell me where did we go wrong?
Oh baby I'-I-m missing you
They say I'll learn to forget,
But it sure ain't happened yet!

AJ: Been checkin' out the places where we used to go.
ALL (echo): Used to go.
AJ: Been lookin' for your face inside the cro-o-owd
I've been talkin' to the people that we used to know
But nobody wants to say where you hang o-o-ut.

NICK: And when I call your pho-o-ne
Seems like you're never, ever ho-o-me.
And you don't return my ca-a-lls...
Noooo.....
ALL (echo):  Re-turn my ca-a-lls....
NICK: It tears me a-part....
ALL (echo): It tears me apart....
NICK: This breakin' of my heart....
ALL (echo): This breakin' of my heart....

NICK lead with ALL: Oh baby, I'-I-m missing you
We used to love so strong,
Tell me where did we go wrong?
Oh baby I'-I-m missing you
They say I'll learn to forget,
But it sure ain't happened yet!
Sure ain't happened yet!

AJ: I still have yer pictures hung around my ro-o-o-om... 
ALL (echo): Around my ro-o-o-om....
AJ: They're the only thing that's left of you and me-e-e.
Ohhhhh
Girl what can I do to make you come back so-o-on
And make it just the way it used to be-e-e-e-e-e.

BRIAN: Oh, is there some-one ne-e-ew?
Could never go o-o-on, with-out you-u-u
Girl, I don't wanna' think about....noooooooo.

They say I'll learn to forget,
But it sure ain't happened yet!

BRIAN: I know that there's a chance for you and I-I
And I believe there's no way our love could die
So, no matter how long it takes,
I'll wait for you!
And whatever it takes, I'll be there for you
I'll be the-e-e-e-e-e-re!
ALL (echo): I'll be the-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-re.......
