| Craig David & Sting : Rise and Fall
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall [x2]
I always said that I was gonna make it,
Now it's plain for everyone to see,
But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners,
Just casualties,
I know that everything is gonna change,
Even the friends I knew before me go,
But this dream is the life I've been searching for,
Started believing that I was the greatest,
My life was never gonna be the same,
Cause with the money came a different status,
That's when things change,
Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own,
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see,
I'm beginning to lose my integrity
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall
I never used to be a troublemaker,
Now I don't even wanna please the fans,
No autographs,
No interviews,
No pictures,
And less demands,
Given advice that was clearly wrong,
The type that seems to make me feel so right,
But some things you may find can take over your life,
Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places,
And there's nowhere left for me to turn,
Been caught in comprimising situations,
I should have learnt,
From all those times I didn't walk away,
When I knew that it was best to go,
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart,
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall
Now I know,
I made mistakes,
Think I don't care,
But you don't realise what this means to me,
So let me have,
Just one more chance,
I'm not the man I used to be,
Used to beeeeeeeeeee
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall [x4]

Parfois dans ta vie tu sens que le combat est fini,
Et il semble que la catastrophe est imminente,
Superstar tu l'as finalement fait,
Mais une fois que ta réputation est entachée,
C'est ce qu'ils appellent,
L'ascension et la chute.(X 2)
J'avais toujours dit que je le ferais,
Maintenant c'est évident pour tout le monde,
Mais ce jeu auquel je joue ne fait pas de prisonnier,
Juste des victimes,
Je sais que tout va changer,
Même les amis que j'avais avant s'en vont,
Mais ce rêve est la vie que je voulais,
J'ai commencé à me croire le meilleur,
A croire que ma vie ne serait plus jamais la même,
Car avec l'argent vient aussi un autre statut,
C'est comme ça quand les choses changent,
Maintenant je suis trop occupé par les choses qui m'appartiennent,
Aveuglé par toutes les filles mignones que je vois,
Je commence à perdre mon intégrité.
Parfois dans ta vie tu sens que le combat est fini,
Et il semble que la catastrophe est imminente,
Superstar tu l'as finalement fait,
Mais une fois que ta réputation est entachée,
C'est ce qu'ils appellent,
L'ascension et la chute.
Je n'ai jamais été un fauteur de trouble,
Aujourd'hui je n'ai même pas envie de remercier les fans,
Pas d'autographe,
Pas d'interview,
Pas de photo,
Et moins d'exigences,
D'après les conseils c'était clairement mauvais,
Ce qui avait l'air de me faire sentir bien,
Mais certaines des choses que tu peux trouver peuvent prendre le pouvoir dans ta vie,
J'ai brulé tous mes vaisseaux je n'ai plus d'endroit à moi,
Et je n'ai plus nulle part où me retourner,
Je me suis fais attrapé dans des situations compromettantes,
J'aurais dû tirer des leçons,
De toutes ces fois où je n'ai pas pris mes distances,
Alors que je savais que le meilleur etait de partir,
Il est trop tard pour te montrer comment est mon coeur.
Parfois dans ta vie tu sens que le combat est fini,
Et il semble que la catastrophe est imminente,
Superstar tu l'as finalement fait,
Mais une fois que ta réputation est entachée,
C'est ce qu'ils appellent,
L'ascension et la chute.
Aujourd'hui je sais,
J'ai fais des erreurs,
Tu crois que je m'en moque,
Mais tu ne te rends pas compte de ce que ça veut dire pour moi,
Alors laisse moi,
Une derniere chance,
Je ne suis plus le même,
Le même.
Parfois dans ta vie tu sens que le combat est fini,
Et il semble que la catastrophe est imminente,
Superstar tu l'as finalement fait,
Mais une fois que ta réputation est entachée,
C'est ce qu'ils appellent,
L'ascension et la chute.(X 4)

| Walking Away
2000
I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
Sometimes some people get me wrong, when it's something I've said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun, that's why you turn and run
But now I truly realise, some people don't wanna compromise
Well, I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies, and
Well I don't wanna live my life, too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say lady
I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
Well, I'm so tired baby
Things you say, you're driving me away
Whispers in the powder room baby, don't listen to the games they play
GirlI thought you'd realise, I'm not like them other guys
Cos I saw them with my own eyes, you should've been more wise and
Well I don't wanna live my life, too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say
I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away

S'en aller au loin
CHORUS :
Je m'en vais , loin des ennuis dans ma vie
Je m'en vais au loin, oh pour trouver un meilleur jour
CHORUS x 2)
Je m'en vais loin
Parfois certains me font mal, quand c'est quelque chose que j'ai dit ou fait
Parfois tu as l'impression qu' il n'y a aucun amusement, c'est pourquoi tu te retournes et cours
Mais maintenant je réalise vraiment, certains ne veulent pas me faire de compromis
Et bien je les vois de mes propres yeux répandant ces mensonges et
Puis je ne veux pas vivre ma vie, trop de nuits sans sommeil
Sans citer les combats, je suis désolé de le dire lady
CHORUS
Puis je suis si fatigué baby
Les choses que tu dis, tu me fais partir
Les chuchotements dans les toilettes pour dame, n'écoute pas les jeux auxquels ils jouent
Girl, j'ai cru que tu comprenais, je ne suis pas comme les autres mecs
Parce que je les ai vus de mes propres yeux, tu aurais dû être plus sage, et
Je ne veux pas vivre ma vie, trop de nuits sans sommeil
Sans citer les combats, je suis désolé de le dire lady
CHORUS

| 7 Days"
On my way to see my friends
who lived a couple blocks away from me (owh)
As I walked through the subway
it must have been about quarter past three
In front of me
stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time
I said it'd cost her her name
a six digit number & a date with me tomorrow at nine
Did she decline? No
Didn't she mind? I don't think so
Was it for real? Damn sure
What was the deal? A pretty girl aged 24
So was she keen? She couldn't wait
Cinnamon queen? let me update
What did she say? She said she'd love to
rendezvous
She asked me what we were gonna do
said we'd start with a bottle of moet for two
[Chorus]
Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
[Verse 2]
Nine was the time
cos I'll be getting mine
and she was looking fine
Smooth talker
she told me
She'd love to unfold me all night long
Ooh I loved the way she kicked it
from the front to back she flipped (back she flipped it, ooh the
way she
kicked it)
And I oh oh I yeah
hope that she'd care
cos I'm a man who'll always be there
Ooh yeah
I'm not a man to play around baby
Ooh yeah
cos a one night stand isn't really fair
From the first impression girl hmm you don't seem to be like that
Cos there's no need to chat for there'll be plenty for that
From the subway to my home
endless ringing of my phone
When you feeling all alone
all you gotta do
is just call me call me
[Chorus]
Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
[Bridge]
(Break it down, uh break it down)
Since I met this special lady
ooh yeah
I can't get her of my mind
She's one of a kind
And I ain't about to deny it
It's a special kind thing
with you-oh.......
[Chorus]
Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

| 2 Steps Back
Ooh, ooh (Craig David)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You know I'm the kinda guy that does 9 to 5
Working real hard is the way I live my life
Back home just me and you girl all alone
With no one interrupting
So drop the phone
But I could be that other guy
Who comes home late night after night and tells your lies
So why are you tripping out on me girl all the time
When every day it's only you that's on my mind oh
Refrain (x2)
Every time we take one step forward
You take 2 steps back
Everytime it's right you bring left back (oh, oh)
Girl you really ought to think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I'm been there for you and that's the truth
You know you're the kinda girl that doesn't need to frown
Keep it real let me know just what you want
Sometimes I just don't know when to stop
You always want so much for nothing
You're just losing what you've got
Now can't you see there's no other girl
I think you're the most beautiful woman in this world
Yeah but you say I don't appreciate you
And I don't know how to treat you
We don't do the same thing we did no more
Refrain (x2)
Remember it wasn't that long ago
You told me that you love me so
Don't forget all the nights we shared
When you told me girl how much you cared (remember)
It could be a little straight
But this is the way plays to play
I'm not that kinda man
Why can't you understand
('Cause) I want you to trust in me
Baby girl can't you see
You only gonna mess things up
You've done enough
Why can't you stop
('Cause) You're gonna lose what's good for you
And it's the last thing you wanna do
Won't find another let me hold
Refrain (x3)

| Spanish
Yo hit that
Would you like a drink with me?
(If you don't mind, can I talk to you if it's alright)
I want your body close to mine
(all night, while we're dancing in the moonlight)
We can spend the night in ecstasy
(kissing,touching,caressing)
You know that you don't have to leave (tonight)
Saying why didn't I go home with you tonight
Yo, in fresh from outta town
Just breezed in so I thought I'd take a look around
And found a party where the vibe was right
I'm talking maybe meet a honey
Take her home tonight,
So...shades on, top's off the whip
Taking in the sights as I cruise this trip
As I pull up to a red light
I see this pretty little shorty in my headlights
This girl looked half black and half oriental
Man this chick's got class and style
I'd like to ask her for credentials
name,address,numbers to dial
She plays tough when deep down she's gentle
It ain´t hard to read the signs
This girl bangs like dre instrumentals
Well here's an acappella of mine
Chorus
Scene 2
All up in the club
Got my game tight about to tear it up
Could be a night that I won't forget
Boy I'm looking for a honey and I'm confident
I was dancing but I had to stop
When i clocked this fly girl wearing a halter top
She had her hair done, nails right
This senorita had a booty that was so tight
She was a hot girl who looked continental
Damn,her body looked so fine
The way she spoke I saw her potential
If looks could kill then she'd do time
I don't claim to speak perfect Spanish
But i do know a few lines
This female's slicker than your average
And i gotta make her mine
So,quieres beber conmigo?
(if you don't mind, can I talk to you if it's alright)
Quiero sentir tu cuerpo
(all night while we're dancing in the moonlight)
Haz el amor conmigo
(kissing, touching,caressing)
Ya no me dejes solo(tonight)
Saying why didn't I go home with you...
Tonight I'm from a distance admiring
Girl you're looking so vibrant
And i dig the way you move your body
Let's get out this party
Maybe we can get naughty
Say bye,bye girlfriends
'Cos just in a minute we'll be gone if we're *Nsync
(Can we dance?)
Would you like a drink?...
...and some loving?
But leave your husband at home
Unless he want a bump on the dome
Come along, rub alongside me
Put your phone on silence, just breathe
What you're doing is right, what I'm doing is wrong
Only time I do right is when i'm doing a song
So, expect your ex to exit the area
Exterior,vex perplex by the Seeeex
What you drinking?
Drinks on me, find me on drink and I drink on me
You can ride next to me, girl it's ecstasy
Here's something for your Ex to see
It's messed up how I slide up your thigh with my right hand
You wanna ride all night then I can
Don't be shy of just one one night stand,now let's go!
Chorus

| What's changed
Intro (Girl X)
Hey, baby
Oh tell me, babe
Why do you wanna play these games with me?
Thought you always wanted to be with me
Verse 1 (Craig)
Well at first girl, I wanted to
But things have changed between me and you
That's why I don't know what I'm gonna do
Lately, you say I been acting kinda strangely
Like I don't love you no more
You say "call me" (call me call me call me)
But I just can't explain
It's all so crazy
Between me and you, baby oooooooh
Bridge 1 (Craig)
And even though at first you meant the world to me (world to me)
The time has come to spread my wings and be set free (be set free)
So i can figure out a place where I belong (I belong)
To find my way home now love is gone (girl, now that love is gone)
Now baby singing...
Chorus 1 (Craig & Girl X)
Why don't you call me no more?
It was every night you were calling me before
Given half a chance, you'd be knocking at my door
So, tell me what's changed
Baby, tell me what's changed

Tell me, cuz I can't get you out of my mind
But up until now, we been doing just fine

Bridge 2 (Craig)
And even though at first, you made me so happy (so happy)
My love for you has changed, so put the blame on me (blame on me)
Under pressure, it's too hard for me to stay (to stay)
And I get so guilty when you page me everyday, with hope
Chorus 2 (Craig & Girl X)
Why won't you answer my page?
It was you who said things were never gonna change
And it seems like lately you're acting kinda strange
So, tell me what's changed
Baby, tell me what's changed
Why can't you even pass by?
Spend some of your time, even just to say hi
You're not the type of guy who would make a girl cry
So, tell me what's changed
Baby, tell me what's changed
Bridge 3 (Craig)
Girl, I know
It seems like I don't care (I don't care)
After all the things we used to share (after all the things we used to share)
Now I know it feels like I've done you wrong (done me wrong)
But the pain will heal the sooner that I'm gone (I'm gone, I'm gone, girl) (oooh ahhhh)
Baby singing...
Chorus 3 (Craig & Girl X)
Why don't you call me no more? (oh girl)
It was every night you were calling me before (I guess I shoulda told you, yeah)
Given half a chance, you'd be knocking at my door
So, tell me what's changed (cuz now I don't know what I'm gonna do girl)
Baby, tell me what's changed
Why don't you give me some time? (said give me some time)

And it seems like lately you're acting kinda strange (don't you know)
So, tell me what's changed (tell me tell me whats changed)
Baby, tell me what's changed
Why can't you even pass by? (oh girl)
Spend some of your time, even just to say hi (don't you know)
You're not the type of guy who would make a girl cry (things ain't the same)
So, tell me what's changed
Baby, tell me what's changed
Outro (Craig & Girl X)
Girl, I never meant to make you cry (yeah, babe)
But its so hard to find the words to say (I wanna know what's changed, babe)
So I never wanted girl, to hurt you (mmmmm)

| FILL ME IN
Alright (can you fill me in)
Come on
Can you fill me in (lets talk about it)
I was checking this girl next door when her parents went out
She phoned said "Hey boy, come on right around"
So I knocked on the door
You were standing with a bottle of red wine ready to pour
Dressed in long black satin laced to the floor
So I went in then we sat down
Started kissing caressing
Told me 'bout jacuzzi sounded interesting
So I jumped right in
All calls diverted to answer phone
Please leave a message after the tone
I mean me and her parents were kind of cool
But they were a fine line between me and you
We were just doing things young people in love do
Parents trying to find out what we were up to
<< Chorus 1>>
Saying why were you creeping down late last night
Did I see two shadows moving in your bedroom light
Now your dressed in black when I left you were dressed in white
Can you fill me in?
Calls diverted to answer phone
Red wine bottle half the contents gone
Midnight return, jacuzzi turned on
Can you fill me in?
Whenever the coast was clear and she'd ask me to come round
I'd say "Hey girl, come on right around"
So she knocked on the door
I was standing with the keys in my hand to the 4 X 4
Jumped in my ride checking that nobody saw
The club we went in
We got down bounce bounce to the rhythm
Saw it was early morning
Thought we better be leaving
So I gave you my jacket for you to hold
Told you to wear it 'cos you felt cold
I mean me and her didn't mean to break the rules
I weren't trying to play her mum and dad for fools
We were just doing things young people in love do
Parents trying to find out what we were up to
<< Chorus 2 >>
Saying why don't you keep your promises no more
Say you'll be home by 12
Come stroling in at 4
Out with the girls but leaving with the boy next door
Can you fill me in?
Wearing a jacket, who property
Said you were queing for a taxi
But you left all your money on the TV
Can you fill me in?
All they seem to do is be checking up on you, baby
Watching your every move think someday they might approve?, baby
