>> Go!

Written By:  Melanie C & William Orbit

I've gotta go-whoa
Find another direction
I've gotta go-whoa
I wanna get your attention

I am so sorry that it went this way
I just can't hold on anymore
The feeling's gone, I must move on
There's nothing left worth fighting for

I can't love you anymore, anymore

Go, find what you're looking for
Go, you've lost me thats for sure

I've gotta go-whoa
Find another direction
I've gotta go-whoa
I wanna get your attention, for once

I've never been in love before
But this is where it has to end
I just can't love you anymore
Don't even want you as a friend

I can't love you anymore, anymore

Go, find what you're looking for
Go, you've lost me thats for sure

It all started in another dimension
It all started in another dimension
It all started in another dimension
You may have took my breath
You didn't take my dedication

They say that love is blind
They say that love is blind
They say that love is blind
I've never been the leaving kind

I've gotta go!
Find another direction
I've gotta go-whoa
I wanna get your attention, for once

I've gotta go (can't love you)
Find another direction
(anymore, anymore)
I've gotta go-whoa (can't love you)
I wanna get your attention for once
(anymore, anymore)

>> Northern Star

Written By: Melanie C & Rick Nowels

They tried to catch a falling star
Thinking that she had gone too far
She did but kept it hidden well
Until she cracked and then she fell

If all the history is true
She's gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side
But tell me who will be my guide

They build you up so they can tear you down
Trust the ocean, you'll never drown
Who is next, who's gonna steal your crown?
You'll see

I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies
And good-byes, northern star

Fulfill the longing in your heart
Then we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you
Just tell them that our love is true

They buy your dreams so they can sell your soul
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come, feelings go

I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
And good-byes
Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me and you'll see
She's not far, northern star

Northern star

I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
And good-byes
Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me and you'll see
She's not far, northern star

Northern star

>> Goin' Down

Written By: Melanie C ,Richard Stannard & Julian Gallagher

How come I didn't see
You were makin' fun of me
How dare you change the rules
You made me look a fool

Well now you're gonna see
The last laugh's not on on me
What am I gonna do
To get my revenge on you

You're goin' down, goin' down

Was it just another line
Or did I misread the sign?
What else could I do
I was so into you

With all this bad luck I've had
My karma must be bad
You've played your little games
Oh what a shame

You're goin' down, goin' down.
Goin' down

I'm singing it loud and I don't care
I'm singing it proud everywhere

Now I feel no remorse
My life is back on course
From this little hitch
I have become a super-bitch

But don't be afraid
By that confession I've made
I am not a whore
I have gone hardcore

You're goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down

I'm singing it loud and I don't care
I'm singing it proud everywhere
I'm singing it loud and I don't care
I'm singing it proud everywhere

Ha - ha - ha
You're goin' down, goin' down
You're goin' down, goin' down
Ha - yeah

>> I Turn To You

Written By: Melanie C Rick Nowels &  Billy Steinberg

When the world is darker than I can understand
When nothing turns out the way I planned
When the sky turns gray and there's no end in sight
When I can't sleep through the lonely night

I turn to you
Like a flower leaning toward the sun
I turn to you
Cos you're the only one
Who can turn me around
When I'm upside down
I turn to you

When my insides are wracked with anxiety
You have the touch that will quiet me
You lift my spirit, you melt the ice
When I need inspiration, when I need advice

I turn to you
Like a flower leaning toward the sun
I turn to you
Cos you're the only one
Who can turn me around
When I'm upside down
I turn to you

Where would I be?
What would I do?
If you'd never helped me through
I hope some day
If you've lost your way
You could turn to me
Like I turn to you

I turn to you
Like a flower leaning toward the sun
I turn to you
Cos you're the only one
Who can turn me around
When I'm upside down
I turn to you

I turn to you
When fear tells me to turn around
I turn to you
Cos you're the only one
Who can turn me around
When I'm upside down
I turn to you

I turn to you
I turn to you

>> If That Were Me

Written By: Melanie C & Rick Nowels

Where do they go and what do they do?
They're walkin' on by, they're lookin' at you
Some people stop, some people stare
But would they help you and do they care?

How did you fall?
Did you fall at all?
Are you happy where you are?
Sleeping underneath the stars
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm?

A spare bit of change is all that I give
How is that gonna help when you've got nowhere to live?
Some turn away so they don't see
I bet you'd look if that were me

How did you fall?
Did you fall at all?
Is it lonely where you are?
Sleeping in between parked cars
When it thunders where do you hide from the storm?

Could you ever forgive my self-pity?
When you've got nothing and you're livin' on the streets of the city
I couldn't live without my phone

>> Never Be The Same Again (featuring Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes

Written By: Melanie C, , Rhett Lawrence, Paul F. Cruz, Lisa Lopes & Lorenzo Martin

Come on
Ooh yeah (
uh)
Never be the same again

I call you up whenever things go wrong
You're always there, you are my shoulder to cry on
I can't believe it took me quite so long
To take the forbidden step
Is this something that I might regret (
uh)

(Come on, come on)
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
(You are the one)
A lonely heart that can't be tamed (
can't be tamed)
(Come on, come on)
I'm hoping that you feel the same (
yeah)
This is something that I can't forget (
uh)

I thought that we would just be friends
Things will never be the same again
(
Never be the same again)
It's just the beginning, it's not the end (
uh)
Things will never be the same again
(
Never be the same again)
It's not a secrect anymore
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
(
Never be the same again)

(Never be the same again)
Never be the same again
(
Uh, never be the same again)
Uh, come on

Now I know that we were close before (before)
I'm glad I realised I need you so much more (
yeah)
And I don't care what everyone will say (
uh-uh)
It's about you and me
And we'll never be the same again (
uh)

I thought that we would just be friends
(Oh yeah)
Things will never be the same again
(
Never be the same again)
(Things will never be the same again)
It's just the beginning, it's not the end (
uh)
(We've only just begun)
Things will never be the same again
(
Never be the same again)
It's not a secrect anymore
Now we've opened up the door
(Now we've opened up the door)
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
(
Never be the same again)
(We'll never, never be the same again, uh-huh)

(Never be the same again)
Never be the same again, uh-huh
(
Uh, never be the same again)

Uh, check it
Nite and day
Black beach sand to red clay
The US to UK, NYC to LA
From sidewalks to highways
See it'll never be the same
What I'm sayin
My mind frame never changed
'Til you came and rearranged

But sometimes it seems
Completely forbidden
To discover those feelings
That we kept so well hidden
Where there's no competition
And you render my condition
Though improbable it's not impossible
For a love that could be unstoppable

But wait
A fine line's between fate and destiny
Do you believe in the things
That were just meant to be?
When you tell me the stories of your quest for me
Picturesque is the picture you paint effortlessly

And as our energies mix and begin to multiply
Everyday situations, they start to simplify
So things will never be the same
Between you and I
We intertwined our life forces
And now we're unified, yeah

I thought that we would just be friends (come on)
Things will never be the same again
(
Never be the same again)
It's just the beginning, it's not the end
Things will never be the same again
(
Never be the same again)
It's not a secrect anymore (
uh-uh)
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on (
yeah)
We'll never, never be the same again
(
Never be the same again)

(Come on, come on) (Never be the same again)
And things will never be the same again
(You are the one) (
Never be the same again, uh)
Ooh, Never be the same again, uh-huh

It's not a secrect anymore (uh)
Never be the same again (
never be the same again)
It's not a secrect anymore
Never be the same again (
never be the same again)

(Uh, yeah, never be the same again)
Never be the same again, hoh, oh yeah
(
Uh, never be the same again)
Never be the same again, hoo-ooh
(
Come on, yeah)
Never be the same again, uh-huh
(
Never be the same again)
Never be the same again

>> Why?

Written By: Melanie C , Marius de Vries & Steve Sidelnyk

Why does the rain
Fall from the sky?
How can a sugar pill
Take this pain away?

I should have known
That you would break my heart
You've ended something
That didn't have a chance to start

Put out the stars, rub out the sky
Look to the future, wipe the teardrop from my eye
Shut out the sun, put out the light
Want you to tell me how you're gonna make it right

Why am I crying over you?
Why, cos there's nothing else that I can do
Why do I always look a fool?
Why?

Wish I'd read the signs
And left you well alone
God I wanna call you
But I can't pick up the phone

Put out the stars, rub out the sky
Look to the future, wipe the teardrop from my eye
Shut out the sun, bring on the night
Want you to show me how you're gonna make it right

Why am I crying over you?
Why, cos there's nothing else that I can do
Why do I always look a fool?
Why?

Tell me why
Why am I crying over you?
(Why does the rain fall from the sky?)
Why, cos there's nothing else that I can do
(Why do the tears fall from my eyes?)
Why do I always look a fool?
(Why does the rain fall from the sky?)
Why? (Oh tell me why)

Tell me why

Why?

>> Suddenly Monday

Written By: Melanie C, Matt Rowe, Julian Gallager and Richard Stannard

Suddenly Monday, appears again
Where was the weekend, I lost it again
Run to the bus stop, it's never on time
I couldn't care less, cos you make me feel fine

Whenever I'm down, you're always around
Maybe this time, true love I found
What would I do, if I didn't have you?
The things that you say, the things that you do

You make me high
I wish that you knew, I wish I could tell you
Together we'd fly
Open your eyes, start reading my mind

Same conversation, every day
So much to ask you, but I can't find a way
Wherever you're going, can I come along?
Whatever your star sign, wWherever you're from

The end of the day, and you're still around
My head's in the clouds, feet on the ground
Maybe I should, and maybe you would
Maybe tonight, if only we could

You make me high
I wish that you knew, I wish I could tell you
Together we'd fly
Open your eyes, start reading my mind

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

>> Ga Ga

Written By: Melanie C, Dave Munday & Phil  Thornally

I dont want your adoration
Don't want your train stoppin' at my station
You hurt me, and I'm grateful
I never ever felt anything stranger

Ga ga, crazy
Foolish, for wanting you
Stupid cupid
He's a drag, he's not like you

People say that it's insane
We love to feel the pain
And it hurts, yes it hurts, let it hurt

I don't want emotional hassle
I just want another bite of the apple
Dark thoughts need satisfaction
We're going to crash, lets make it happen

Ga ga, crazy
Foolish, for wanting you
Stupid cupid
He's a drag he's not like you

People say that it's insane
We always go for break
And it hurts, yes it hurts, let it hurt

This will never be over
And you will always be mine
You've got to feed my hunger baby
I am ready to dine

Ga ga, crazy
Foolish, for wanting you
Stupid cupid
He's a drag he's not like you

Ga ga, crazy
Foolish, for wanting you
Stupid cupid
He's a drag he's not like you

Ga ga, crazy
Foolish (crazy), for wanting you
Ga ga, crazy
Foolish (crazy), for wanting you

And it hurts, and it hurts, let it hurt
And it hurts, and it hurts, let it hurt
And it hurts, and it hurts, let it hurt
And it hurts, and it hurts, let it hurt
And it hurts

>> Be The One

Written By: Melanie C, Phil Thornally & Dave Munday

The situation is gettin' borin'
You're not gonna spoil another day
I don't expect you to be callin'
You're always gonna act that way

You've said those lines so many times
I've heard it all before
What makes you think that I will keep
Hangin' round for more?

If you wanna be the one, be the one, who-ooh
Moves my heaven and earth
You wanna be the one, be the one, who-ooh
Shares my hunger and thirst
You see the other ones are hanging on, ooh-ooh
They've got nothing on you
You wanna be the one, be the one
The only one

You say you're hooked on me
But where were you last night?
Because when you looked at me, yeah
You couldn't hold my eye

Saying things you never mean
It's no big surprise
Telling me that you're the one
I'm tired of the lies

Be the one, be the one, who-ooh
Moves my heaven and earth
You wanna be the one, be the one, who-ooh
Shares my hunger and thirst
You see the other ones are hanging on, ooh-ooh
They've got nothing on you
You wanna be the one, be the one
The only one

I've got no time for bitterness
I wanna move away from this
I've found myself somebody, who-ooh, ooh-ooh

Be the one, be the one, who-ooh
Moves my heaven and earth
You wanna be the one, be the one, who-ooh
Shares my hunger and thirst
You see the other ones are hanging on, ooh-ooh
They've got nothing on you
You wanna be the one, be the one
The only one

I've got no time for bitterness
I wanna move away from this
I've found myself somebody

>> Closer

Written By: Melanie C , Rick Nowels & Billy Steinberg

Loving you madly will be forever
I see the ocean in your eyes when we're together
There are no boundaries, there are no limits
My heart has been embraced now that you're in it

Hold me closer to your dreams
Closer to your fears
Close to hear your laughter
Hold me when you're close to tears

Time passes by seconds into minutes
Every field and flower fades but love is infinite
There are no boundaries, there are no limits
My heart's a bigger place now that you're in it

Hold me closer to your dreams
Closer to your fears
Close to hear your laughter
Hold me when you're close to tears
I wanna be the one (be the one)
You tell your secrets to
All I want is to be closer (closer)
Closer (closer) to you

How tight can you hold me?
How long can we stay awake?
How hard can we laugh?
How much love can we make?

Hold me closer to your dreams
Closer to your fears
Close to hear your laughter
Hold me when you're close to tears
I wanna be the one (be the one)
You tell your secrets to
All I want is to be closer (closer)
Closer (closer) to you

Closer

>> Feel The Sun

Written By: Melanie C  & Rick Nowels

These thoughts
Can be evil and they often decieve
Gotta believe
That I can overcome

My fears
Are the worst and they always return
I never learn
Feel like I don't belong

Lost in the wreckage of a million bad dreams
Hard to function
I just need some routine
God, it's obscene
When did they stop the fun?

I knew that something must be done
To save the person I'd become
That's why I had to run away

Feel the sun
Waves crash like my emotion
Life has begun
Now I will be safe from the storm
I found the one
This angel's my salvation
I'm feeling strong
You will be there if I fall

Guilt
Is no use it will tarnish your soul
Just let it go
The battle will soon be won

Cold
In the shadow of who I should be
There's a fire burning deep inside me
Helping me see
Only I hold the key

And now I stand here unafraid
Proud of everything I've made
That's why I had to run away

Feel the sun
Waves crash like my emotion
Life has begun
Now I will be safe from the storm
I found the one
This angel's my salvation
I'm feeling strong
You will be there if I fall

There's so much energy
At last I can be free
I am the person I was looking for

Feel the sun
Waves crash like my emotion
Life has begun
Now I will be safe from the storm
I found the one
This angel's my salvation
I'm feeling strong
I'll never fall
You are there when I call
