Dare (La La La)

Hola!

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
I dare you

(Leggo, leggo, leggo, leggo)

All of my life, too late
Till you showed up with perfect timing
Now here we are, you rock it
Our fingers are stuck in the socket
It's just the nature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again
Let's not recover, from the hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was sober

Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare on the dancefloor

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
Truth or dare on the dancefloor
La la la

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
I dare you

(Leggo, leggo)

Of all the millions on the planet
You're the one who's keeping me on it
You know I like you, ain't nobody's business
Your blue Spanish eyes are my witness
It's just the nature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again
Let's not recover, from the hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was sober

Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare on the dancefloor

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
Truth or dare on the dancefloor
La la la

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
I dare you

Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
I dare you to touch me
It's truth or dare on the dancefloor

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
I dare you

(Leggo, leggo, leggo, leggo)

Can't Remember To Forget You

[Shakira]
I left a note on my bedpost
Said not to repeat yesterday's mistakes
What I tend to do when it comes to you
I see only the good, selective memory

The way he makes me feel yeah, gotta hold on me
I've never met someone so different
Oh here we go
He a part of me now, he a part of me
So where you go I follow, follow, follow

[Chorus 1]
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me, the only memory,
is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
Ooooh
I can't remember to forget you
Ohohohoh ohohohoh

[Verse 2: Rihanna]
I go back again
Fall off the train
Land in his bed
Repeat yesterday's mistakes
What I'm trying to say is not to forget
You see only the good, selective memory

The way he makes me feel like
The way he makes me feel
I never seemed to act so stupid
Oh here we go
He a part of me now, he a part of me

[Shakira]
So where he goes I follow, follow, follow, oh

[Chorus 2: Both]
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me, the only memory,
is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you

[Bridge: Shakira]
I rob and I kill to keep him with me
I do anything for that boy
I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight
I do anything for that boy

[Bridge: Rihanna]
I rob and I kill to keep him with me
I do anything for that boy
I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight
I do anything for that boy

[Chorus 3: Both]
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me, the only memory,
is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
But when you look at me, the only memory,
is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you

Empire

Take off all of your skin
And brave when you are free
Shake off all of your sins
And give them to me
Close up, let me back in
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats

We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo

I will follow you down wherever you go
I, I'm, baby, I'm bound to you and do you know?
Closer, pull me in tight
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats

Like the empires of the world unite
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Hoooooo hoooooo
We are alive
Hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo hoooooo
We are alive
Hoooooo

I'm just gonna raise my head
Welcome to the final edge
And I'm gonna fall
I'm just gonna raise my head
And hold you close

Like the empires of the world unite
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo

You Don't Care About Me

I fold your t-shirt
And I stripped your bed
I left you perfect
But there's no appreciation

I listened sweetly to your sour tone
I loved you only
But there's no reciprocation

Before you came along
It was all beautiful
I have nothing left
In my heart, in my soul
Should have never helped
You become so powerful
But I saw a champion in your eyes

You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me

You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me

You say you're thirsty
So I pour the wine
The bottle's empty
But there's no consummation

Before you came along
It was all beautiful
I have nothing left
In my heart, in my soul
Should have never helped
You become so powerful
But I saw a champion in your eyes

You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me

You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me

Oh, baby, how we used to dance
I couldn't separate from your hands
Now they don't even play that song anymore
You don't care about me

No, don't care about me
No, don't care about me
You don't care about me
Don't care about about me

You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me

You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me

Cut Me Deep

Why do you say things
If you do not mean them
Why do you fill up my wounds
With your dirt

Bullets of fire
This time I can't shield them
Santa Maria, I know how it hurts

'Cause you cut me deep
Your words are like steel
And now I can't sleep
'Cause I'll never heal

Why do you make me believe we are spirits
Molded together to conquer this Earth
Climb up the mountains so high we can see them
Then send me to plummet with savaging words

'Cause you cut me deep
Your words are like steel
And now I can't sleep
'Cause I'll never heal

I am covered in scars
Like a rose without thorns
My defenses are gone
No one's out there to warn
If there's love in your heart
Let me leave now in peace
You know you took it too far

'Cause you cut me deep
Your words are like steel
And now I can't sleep
'Cause I'll never heal

You cut me deep
You cut me so deep
You cut me deep
You cut me so deep
You cut me deep
You cut me so deep
You cut me deep
You cut me so, so, so
You cut me deep
You cut me so deep
You cut me deep
You cut me so

Spotlight

Boy meets a girl
Hid behind a wall
Piling up the bricks
Hoping they would fall

Girl meets a boy
Surrender to his charms
Leaves her old boyfriend
And crumbles in his arms

And if they wanna make me pay now
Then go on
Cause loving you was never wrong

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight
And it's hurting my eyes
Because it's so bright (so bright)
But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find
And I wouldn't give you up even if I end up blind

Lazy for a while
Laying golden eggs
Some just want your money
Or whatever they can take

But hearing your name
Don't need anyone else
You're here because you want me
And not for what I make

Hey, they better know
If there is a price to pay now, the game is on
Cause in the end you know I won

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight
And it's hurting my eyes
Because it's so bright (so bright)
But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find
And I wouldn't give you up even if I end up blind

And every camera flash my way
And every word of every page
Well they can say whatever they want to
Cause what we got is just so real
That they can't change the way I feel
Cause I would do it all again for you

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight
And it's hurting my eyes
Because it's so bright (so bright)
But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find
And I wouldn't give you up even if I end up blind

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight
And it's hurting my eyes
Because it's so bright (so bright)
But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find
And I wouldn't give you up even if I end up blind

Broken Record

I'm older but you're wiser than anyone can see
Your patient like no other has even been with me
Your eyes take me to places
I'd never dreamt about
Your voice is the only music I can't do without

There can't be any doubts now
We're just too far ahead to look behind
And above the good and bad

I need you to believe in my word
I feel like a broken record
And I've told you 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
My search is done

Can you put your trust in my word
I sound like a broken record
And I've said it 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
You are the one

Your hands that have no mercy
Are also my best friends
And I can get lost climbing on your legs that never end
I found a perfect distance between my body on you
And that is no distance, dear if that's alright with you
They said we wouldn't make it
But look at how we've beating all the odds
I just need you to be aware of that

I need you to believe in my word
I feel like a broken record
And I've told you 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
My search is done

Can you put your trust in my word
I sound like a broken record
And I've told you 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
You are the one

I just want you to take a leap of faith
No it's easy to make all the same mistakes
But I won't this time, no, not this time

Can you put your trust in my word
I sound like a broken record
And I've said it 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
You are the one

A dozen icy summers were leading me to you
I had to hear the liars to recognize the truth
Remember the first Christmas
It almost seemed untrue
You promised that you'd always be with me
And I promised too

Medicine

And I feel again losing my mind
Banging my head up against the wall
Staring at nothing cause I can't sleep at night
Can't make it stop, yeah I think too much
What do I do? Falling apart
I need a shock straight to my heart
No one would want to be in my shoes right now, oh

I don't reach for the bottle of whisky
Straight on the rocks
But you won't see me popping the pills
Po-po-popping the pills
Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my medicine, medicine
My medicine, medicine
My medicine

You know you're an expert at complicating things
That's not how we were, believe me it's not over
But you make the war seem like such an easy game
Keeps me and my arguments come under
Down in the trenches, you are the white flag
Make me surrender
Want you so bad
Baby don't stop what you started
Don't ever be done, oh

I always throw the bottle of whisky
Straight on the rocks
But you won't see me popping the pills
Po-po-popping the pills
Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my medicine, medicine
My medicine, medicine
My medicine

You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home

I don't reach for the bottle of whisky
No you won't see me popping the pills
Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my medicine, medicine
My medicine, medicine
My medicine

You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home

You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home

You're my medicine

23

Everybody needs an anchor
A little something that makes you stay
An incentive
Someone to fight for
Cause no one really needs so much space
A couple years ago I was lonely
I used to think that there was no God
But then you looked at me with your blue eyes
And my agnosticism turned into dust
How well you know me
That I don't care if the rest don't
It doesn't matter to me, no
As long as you love me
As long as we still have each other

I knew we had something
From the moment I met you I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23

God knows that I'm a good dancer
My feet can move to the music he plays
But there were times I asked for an answer
When he was acting in mysterious ways
There were nights that I stayed up crying
Cause I was certain that things wouldn't change
But then you came and I saw you smiling
Just like an angel, so beautifully strange

And then you touched me
It's like you were made for me, oh
Like it was all meant to be, oh
And I was sure that you would love me
And that we'd always have each other

I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
And I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23

Always thought that I was fine but I was wrong
It was you, that one piece I was missing
And I could do without you but it'd be no fun
I found you and life was suddenly easy
There ain't no worries now
There ain't no feeling down

I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
And I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23

The One Thing

Every morning when I woke up
I was stoked up
I was leaving without a purpose
Always jumping all the hurdles
Doing circles
In the dark with a broken compass

I can't explain the way it feels
I could trip on my own words
I make mistakes, that much is clear
But I made it here my love
Yeah I made it here my love

You're the one thing that I got right
It's a fickle world, yeah it's a fickle world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right

One thing I got right
One thing I got right

Every morning when you wake up
I wanna hold you
I just need to be wrapped around you
It's kinda funny when you think that
You just got here
Now I know I can't live without you

I can't explain the way it feels
I could show the million words
Sometimes it seems like it ain't real
But you're really here my love
Yeah, you're really here my love

You're the one thing that I got right
It's a fickle world, yeah it's a fickle world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right

Everytime I see your smile
Everytime I hear your laugh
Baby you bring in new sunshine over house
You are the little dream
And since I was a child
My fairytale comes true when I look at you
May not be here forever
But it'll be a long road together
I already know
We're gonna be fine, fine, fine
We're gonna be just fine, fine, fine

You're the one thing that I got right
It's a fickle world, yeah it's a fickle world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if I mess up everything someday
I would hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right
You're the one thing that I got right

And if I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right
You're the one thing that I got right

One thing that I got right
One thing that I got right

Nunca Me Acuerdo De Olvidarte

Me temo que sí, se trata de ti
Voy a repetir, el mismo error de ayer
Como es natural, suele suceder
Que no hay ciego peor, que él que no quiere ver

Heme aquí vencida
Casi convencida que intentarlo es inútil
Y digo yo, ¿qué pasa conmigo?
Mi peor castigo
Es que a donde vayas
Sabes, sabes que voy yo

Oh, oh, oh
Nunca me acuerdo de olvidarte
Oh, oh, oh
Nunca aprendí como dejarte ir
Mi mundo gira así, alrededor de ti
Sólo me acuerdo de una parte
Oh, oh, oh
Que no me acuerdo de olvidarte

Y no me acuerdo de olvidarte

Salto del tren, caigo en tu red
Y vuelvo a pisar la piedra que pisé
Y mi corazón, se vuelve a partir
Que no hay sordo peor, que él que no quiere oír

Estoy aquí vencida
Y casi convencida, que no hay nadie más idiota
Aquí que yo, muero por tu boca en la boca mía
Y lo intento-todo, todo, todo, todo y no

Oh, oh, oh
Nunca me acuerdo de olvidarte
Oh, oh, oh
Nunca aprendí como dejarte ir
Mi mundo gira así, alrededor de ti
Sólo me acuerdo de una parte
Oh, oh, oh
Que no me acuerdo de olvidarte

Podría mentir, matar o morir
Incluso algo mucho peor
Forzar el destino, perder el camino
Con tal de no perder tu amor
Y todos me dicen que no desperdicie
Que el tiempo les da la razón
Ya llegará el día
Que habrá otro en mi vida
Que me quiera más y mejor

Oh, oh, oh
Nunca me acuerdo de olvidarte
Oh, oh, oh
Nunca aprendí como dejarte ir
Mi mundo gira así, alrededor de ti
Sólo me acuerdo de una parte
Oh, oh, oh
Que no me acuerdo de olvidarte

Mi mundo gira así, alrededor de ti
Sólo me acuerdo de una parte
Oh, oh, oh
Que no me acuerdo de olvidarte

Loca Por Ti

En la arena escribi
Lo que te llego amar
Y aun no lo borra
Ni la sal de el mar

Permiteme soñar
Que todavia estas aqui
Aun quiero seguir loca por ti

Sigo sola aqui en este parque
Falta todo si faltas tu
Imagino tu cuerpo aqui
Con la luna a contra luz
Me quedare, bebiendo esta copa a tu salud

Se que al amanecer
Mis lagrimas caeran
Y entre la lluvia se confundiran

Dejame continuar
Ebria y soñando aqui
Sabiendo que estoy
Loca por ti

Sigo sola aqui en este parque
Falta todo si faltas tu
Imagino tu cuerpo aqui
Con la luna a contra luz
Me quedare, bebiendo esta copa a tu salud

Sigo sola aqui en este parque
Falta todo si faltas tu
Imagino tu cuerpo aqui
Con la luna a contra luz
Y no me ire, sin antes brindar a tu salud

Me bebo esta copa a tu salud

Chasing Shadows

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

Sunrise blinded by the morning light
Already dreaming up tonight
And I know
That it won't be long
Oh, we can't hide
From the love that burns this strong

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love

Night time
And I am back in your arms
When all my dreams are brought to life
And I know that it won't be long
For we can't hide
From the love that burns this strong

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love
Nothing, my love

That Way

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

I've got my baggage
And you've got yours
I know we've been damaged
Been through it all

And you know that feeling
Just before a beautiful disaster
Right on the top
Looking down from the terrifying
Rolling roller coaster

Oh, baby, can you hear the sound?
My broken heart's beating faster now
In your arms
But I know that I'm safe here in your arms

Lay down
Lay down your head on my shoulder
Hey now
Let's just depart from the notion
That I love you too much
And I'm here to stay
I'm not giving up
I'm not running away
So we're going to leave it that way
That way

This is much bigger than you and I
To live without love would be suicide
I think you'll would soon close your pretty eyes
I like you hear your breathing
It's like the soundtrack of your life
The only memory I'm keeping

Oh, baby, can you hear the sound?
Your broken heart is beating faster now
In my arms
I promise that you're safe here in my arms

Lay down
Lay down your head on my shoulder
Hey now
Let's just depart from the notion
That I love you too much
And I'm here to stay
I'm not giving up
I'm not running away
So we're going to leave it that way
We're going to leave it that way
That way
