Christina Aguilera-2 album
Stripped
Waited a long time for this
Feels right now
Uh, uh, ha, ha
Allow me to introduce myself
Want you to come a little closer
I'd like you to get to know me a little bit better
Meet the real me
Sorry you can't define me, sorry I break the mold
Sorry that I speak my mind, sorry don't do what I'm told
Sorry if I don't fake it, sorry I come so real
I will never hide what I really feel
No way, oh
So here it is
No hype, no gloss, no pretense
Just me
Stripped
Can't Hold Us Down
When a female fires back
suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what any little boy would do
Makin' 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
Refrén:
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder,
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground (our ground)
So lift your hands high and wave'em proud (wohoh)
Take a deep breath and say it loud,
Never can,never will
Can't hold us down
Nobody can hold us down (us down)...Nobody can hold us down (us down)...Nobody can hold us down (hold us down)
Never can never will...
So what am i not supposed to say what i'm saying
Are you offended with the message i'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Cuz 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 its OK,
The guy can get away with it while any girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
Start a new beginning for us,everybody sing
Refrén
Lil' Kim:
Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's a man
He can either give her some head, or sex her raw
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 aight 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
You're just a little boy,
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big, to make up for smaller things
You're just a little boy
All you'll do is annoy
You must talk so big, to make up for smaller things,
This is for my girls...
Repeat Refrén X2
Ahh Wahoo 7X ahh
Spread the word
Can't hold us down
Yeh we here
We Back again
Yeh Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera
Yeh
Can’t hold us down!
Walk Away
(What do you do when you know something's bad for you
but 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 cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in, I can't stop my sufferin'
I hate to show that I lost control
Cause I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from
Yeaah...
I need to get away from you, need to walk away from you
get away, walk away, walk away. . .
I should have known that I was used for amusement(for amusement)
Couldn't see through the smoke,
It was all an illusion
Now I've been licking my wounds,(licking my wounds) but the venom seeps deeper (deeper, deeper)
We both can seduce, but darlin' you hold me prisoner (prisoner)
Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take leads to one mistake
I keep going right back to the one thing that I need
Oh, 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
yeahh...
I need to get away from you, need to walk away from you
Every time I try to grasp for air
I am smothered in despair
It's never over, over, oh oh. . .
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare,
I let out a silent prayer. . .
Let it be over, oh. . .
Inside I'm screaming, begging, pleading no more (oooh)
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, cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in, I can't stop my sufferin'
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cause I, I keep going right back to the one thing that I need
Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take leads to one mistake
I keep going right back to the one thing that I need
Oh, 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
yeaahh...
dying... oooh...
i said...
need to get away from you, need to walk away from you
get away, walk away, walk away [repeat]
(mmm)
Only thing I need to do
Is walk away from you
Fighter
(After all you put me through,
you think I'd despise you,
but in the end, I wanna thank you because you make damn much stronger!)
Well I though I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up
Cause I've had enough
You were there by my side, always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames cause your greed sold me out in shame
After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for you
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I just wanna say thank you
Cause it
Refrén:
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game
I heard you're goin round playin, the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore, no more,
It's over
Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
Cause it
Refrén
How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
YOU-WONT-STOP-ME
I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There's no turning back
I've had enough
Repeat Refrén x2
Primer Amor
Yo te contaré, una historia
De como un puertorriqueño me robó el corazón
Nunca más he vuelto a amar de esa manera
Quizás jamas lo haré
Es la historia de mi primer amor
Era buen mozo con grandes y profundos ojos marrones
Un bailarín
Juntos nos perdimos en el ritmo del amor
Así es como comenzó
Infatuation
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:
Refrén:
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 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 (not to rush) with another
She said: I'm not trying to lecture I just care about my daughter
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
Refrén
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 me 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
Refrén
Papi hold me, say that you adore me
Never let go never leave me lonely (lonely)

Loves Embrace
Ooo you make me want to fly
Crying sky on that mountain
I'm so so afraid
Afraid of love's embrace
Loving Me 4 Me
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 it's a part of me
You please me, complete 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 (ooh)
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 got is between me and you
It 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, complete 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)
Is that you're loving me for me (oh oh yeah)
Its 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
Impossible
Play something for me Alicia
It's impossible
It's impossible to love you
If you don't let me know what you're feeling
It's impossible
For me to give you whatcha need
If you're always hiding from me
I don't know what hurts you, I just wanna make it right
Cos boy I'm sick and tired of tryna read your mind
[Refrén]
It's impossible, oh baby it's impossible for me to love you this way
It's impossible, oh baby it's impossible, if you're making it this way
Impossible to make it easy
If you always try to make it so damn HARD!!!!!!!!
How can I?
How can I give you all my love, baby?
If you're always, always, putting up your own guard
This is not a circus, don't ya play me for a clown
How long can emotions keep on going up and down
It's impossible, oh baby it's impossible, for me to love you this way
It's impossible, oh baby it's impossible you keep treating me this way, Over
And over
If you keep treating me this way
Underappreciated
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 (trying to win it)
I played hard to get but I couldn't help
Gave up my heart in the end
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 and
Frankly, it's gotta quit
Oo! I feel underappreciated
Now girls help me out
If you know what I'm talking about, I said
Oo! I feel underappreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
So back again 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 and life,
Thought I'd never come back down
Now it seems that you and me
Have lost our solid ground
After time I realised
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
Of our dreams while we lay in bed
I miss those days when you stayed awake
Now you roll over and snore instead
Oo! I feel underappreciated
Now girls help me out
If you know what I'm talking about, I said
Oo! I feel underappreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
I miss the nice massages
The long phone calls,
And the way you talked,
How it turned me on
Miss the bubble baths, had the sweetest laughs
I'm needin those days back
Oo! I feel underappreciated
Now girls help me out
If you know what I'm talking about I say
Oo! I feel underappreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
Oo! I feel underappreciated
If you feel me, sing it with me, come on, help me out!
Oo! I feel underappreciated
Oh, ohh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Beautiful
(don't look at me)
(mmhm hmmm)
(ohh yeah)
(mmaa ahhh)
Everyday is so wonderful, then suddenly,it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure, from all the pain
I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring me down (ohhh nooo)
So don't you bring me down today
(mmmhmm mmm)
To all of your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom.... (mmm)
Trying hard to fill the emptiness, the pieces gone,
Left the puzzle undone, is that the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down (ohhh noo)
'Cause you are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring you down (ohhh noo)
So don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do (No matter what we do)
No matter what we say (No matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune(yeah yeah yeaaahhh)
full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go (And everywhere we go)
the sun will always shine (the sun will always always shine....)
And tomorrow we might awake on the other side
'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes words won't bring us down (ohhh noo)
we are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring us down (ohhh noo)
So don't you bring me down today
(oOo ohhh oOo yeah yeah yeah dont you bring me down today yeah yeee eee dont you bring me down mmm today)
Make Over
I can't believe what you did to me
Down on my knees and I need to break free
All these years you violated me (violated me)
I don't know why I can't feel inside
I try to hide, can't make it alright
It's overkill, now I'm ready to fight
I don't need nobody tryin' to make me over
I just wanna live simple and free
I just wanna get away
Savin' all your bullshit for another day
Feeling confined like I'm bein' force fed
My visions blurry and I'm lost in regrets
It's overload, and I'm outta control (outta control)
So sick and tired of bein' so misused(so misused)
You're taking me down with all your mental abuse
And I said, I gotta get you outta my head
Everybody's always trying to look me over
I just wanna live simple and free
I just wanna get away
Saving all your bullshit for another day
I'm the only one that can rescue me from me
Leaving the house around quarter to five
Zipped up my boots and I'm ready to ride
And I feel so high, I feel so alive
Let down my hair, feel the wind on my skin
Crossin' the border where my new life begins
And I close my eyes and take it all in
I don't need nobody tryin' to make me over
(Don't make me over)
I just wanna live simple and free
I just wanna get away
Saving all your bullshit for another day
I'm the only one who can rescue me from me
I just wanna get away
Saving all your bullshit for another day
I'm the only one who can rescue me from me
You wanna break me down...
Cruz
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 up the radio
And I'm feeling like Ive never felt before
Turn down the memories of yesteryears and broken dreams
I bring, finally free(Ooo)
Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze...
Oh yeah!
I'm leaving today
Oh yes, I'm living it(oh yeah), 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 to change
Living(to change), leaving to change(oh yeah)
Living it, leaving it
Said I'm living it, I'm leaving it
Living it, leaving it to change
I'm leaving it to change
But somehow I'll miss it, I think I'll really miss it one day
Soar
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
He's 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
She's tryin' to change and that's a game she'll never win
Now 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
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, 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
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
Get Mine, Get Yours

Redman:

If the media shine, I'm shining with both of the sleeves up
Yo Christina (what?), better hop in here
My block live and in color, like Rodman hair (yeah)
The club is packed, the bar is filled
I'm waiting for sister to act, like Lauryn Hill
Frankly, it's a rap, no bargain deals
I drive a four wheel ride with foreign wheels
Throw it up
Baby it's Brick City, you heard of that?
We blessed, and hung low, like Bernie Mac (Bernie Mac?)
Dogs, let'em out, women, let 'em in
It's like I'm ODB, the way I'm freakin'
Refrén x3
Uh, what?
Stripped, Pt. 2
Sorry if I ain't perfect
Sorry just don't don't give a -what-
Sorry I ain't a diva
Sorry just know what I want
Sorry I'm not a virgin
Sorry I'm not a slut
I won't let you break me
Think what you want
To all my dreamers out there...I'm with you
To all my underdogs,ha...I feel you
Lift your head high...and stay strong
Keep pushin' on...
The Voice Within
Christina Aguilera - The Voice Within Lyrics
Young girl don’t cry
I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl it’s alright
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 to bother to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
Refrén:
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
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 look outside look inside to your soul
Refrén
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
(be strong)
You’ll break it
(hold on)
You’ll make it
Just don’t forsake it because
No one can tell you what you can’t do
No one can stop you, you know that I’m talking to you
Refrén
Young girl don’t cry I’ll be right here when your world starts
to fall
I'm OK
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 noticed just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
Everytime 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
I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother, for all the love she gave
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
Echos of a broken child screaming please no more
Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done?
To you it's just a memory but for me it still lives on
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
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 there
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 you gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday
And I'm ok
Keep on Singin' My Song
I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
And nobody's gonna bring me down today
Been feeling like nothing's been going my way lately
But I decided right here, an' now, that my outlook's gonna change
That's why I'm gonna
Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried
Everytime somebody hurt my pride
Feelin' like they won't let me live life
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
Refrén:
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'm gonna carry on (Carry on)
I'mma keep on (keep on) singin' my song
(La, la, la, etc.)
I never wanna dwell on the pain again
There's no use in relivin' how I hurt back then
Rememberin' too well the hell I felt when I was runnin' out of faith
Every step I'm 'bout to take moves towards a better day
Cause I'm about to
Say farewell to every single lie
And all the fears I've held too long inside
Everytime I felt I couldn't try
All the negativity inside
For too long, I've been strugglin', couldn't go on
But now I've found I'm feelin' strong and I'm moving on
Refrén:
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'm gonna carry on, (carry on)
I'mma keep on (keep on) singin' 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
Wasted so much energy on what they thought of me
Than simply just remembering to 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 I day I die no matter what
Im gonna carry on, I'mma keep on singin' my song
(They can't take anything from me)
