Girl: "Hello?"
AJ: "Hi it's me what's up baby? I'm sorry, listen, I'm gonna be late tonight so don't stay up and wait for me, ok?"
Girl: "Where are you?"
AJ: "Wait, wait say that again?"
Girl: "Hello?"
AJ: "You're really dropping out I think my battery must be low. Listen if you can hear me we're goin' to a place nearby, alright? Gotta go" (click) AJ
Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when there she was standing in front of me
I said "Hi"
"I got a little place nearby, wanna go?"
I should have said no
Someone's waiting for me
But I call my girl up and said

CHORUS
Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
Say again... you're dropping out... my battery is low
Just so you know we're goin' to a place nearby
Gotta go

NICK
Now two years gone nothing's been won
I can't take it back what's done is done
One of her friends found out
That she wasn't my only one
And it eats me from inside,that she's not by my side
Just because I made that call and lied

CHORUS
BREAK (with repetitive "Baby, baby I'm sorry, and "Hello?")

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when there she was standing in front of me
I said "Hi"
"I got a little place nearby"
Gotta go!

CHORUS  (repeat once then...)
Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're dropping out my battery is low
Just so you know we're goin' to a place nearby
We're goin' to a place nearby
Gotta go
(sound of phone hanging up)

AJ
Let’s talk about one baby
You gotta hear me out
Do you really wanna be the last to know
AJ & BRIAN
What it’s all about

AJ
Let’s talk about two, you say
He’s the essence of your life
But he’ll eat you up from inside slow
AJ & BRIAN
And then he doesn’t wanna know

BRIAN
I’m telling you, he’ll eat you up from inside
And then he doesn’t wanna know

CHORUS
Listen, I mean it
There’s nothing that he’s worthy of
He’s just another player playing in the name of love
I’ve seen enough, now this must come to an end
Get another boyfriend

NICK
Let’s talk about what he’s done
To become your number one
Or was it all the promises of diamonds, pearls and party dresses that turned you on
I’ve seen it before, don’t take anymore
Three, two you’re through for sure
Just go get on with your life
Stop acting like you’ve given up
BRIAN
I’m telling you to go get on with your life
Stop acting like you’ve given up

CHORUS - repeat
Get another boyfriend

Hear me out
You must know
What it’s all about, baby
That he’s just a player in love
This must come to an end
Get another boyfriend

Listen, I mean it
There’s nothing that he’s worthy of
He’s just another player playing in the name of love
I’ve seen enough, now this must come to an end

Listen, I mean it
There’s nothing that he’s worthy of
He’s just another player playing in the name of love
I’ve seen enough, now this must come to an end
Get another boyfriend

Get another boyfriend

I Promise You (With Everything I Am)

BRIAN
It’s in the silences
The words you never say
I see it in your eyes
Always starts the same way
It seems like everyone we know is breaking up
Does anybody ever stay in love anymore

From the bottom of my heart
I will love you ‘til death do us part
I promise you
As a lover and a friend
BRIAN
I will love you like I’ll never love again
With everything I am

NICK
I see you look at me
When you think I’m not aware
You’re searching for clues
Of just how deep my feelings are
How do you prove the sky is blue
The ocean’s wide
All I know is what I feel
When I look into your eyes

CHORUS
I promise you
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you ‘til death do us part
I promise you
As a lover and a friend
NICK
I will love you like I’ll never love again
With everything that I am

That’s what you always say to me
And late at night I feel the tremble in your touch
What I’m trying to say to you
I never said to anyone

I promise you
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you ‘til death do us part
I promise you
As a lover and a friend
BRIAN
I will love you like I’ll never love again
With everything I am I promise you
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you ‘til death do us part

The Answer To Our Life
(Nick Carter/Howie Dorough/Brian T. Littrell/AJ McLean/Kevin Richardson)

NICK
You see me sitting here
A smile upon my face
The time has come but you know that it’s not too late
There’s been too many things
Together we have seen
It’s not that hard if we start to believe
BRIAN
And we’re not gonna take anymore
Can we try to erase all the pain
So please...

CHORUS
Show me a reason, give me a sign
Tell me the way we fall out of line
Is it today or is it tonight we’ll find
The answer to our life

AJ
This world is not at ease
We seem to hide the truth
Thinking there’s only so much we can really do
It’s up to you and me
To fix our destiny
The jury’s here, so let’s take the stand
NICK
And we’re not gonna take anymore
Can we try to erase all the pain
So please...

CHORUS

HOWIE
So tell me why we have to cry (and not try)
When there’s so many things we can do
BRIAN
To help this troubled world start anew

BRIAN
I need a reason, I need a sign
There’s no turning back, I’m here by your side
Is it today or maybe tonight, we’ll find
The answer to our life

Show me the way
Give me a sign
Tell me the way we fall out of line
Is it today, is it tonight
The answer to our life

CHORUS - x2

Everyone
(Kristian Lundin/Andreas Carlsson)

BRIAN
We've been through days of thunder
Some people said we don't belong
They try to put us under
But here we stand together and we're millions strong

Let's get on with the show (Let's get started)
Turn the lights down low (Turn the lights down low)
You were there from the start (You were there)

CHORUS
Everyone, everyone, everyone
So this one goes out to you
Everyone, we're standing strong 'cause of what you've done

We took the pleasure with the pain
I guess there's something about us
Whatever comes around we'll always stay the same

You were there from the start (You were there)

More Than That
(Franciz & LePont/Adam Anders)

BRIAN
I can see that you've been crying
You can't hide it with a lie
What's the use in you denying
That what you have is wrong AJ
I heard him promise you forever
But forever's come and gone
Baby he would say whatever
It takes to keep you blind
To the truth between the lights

CHORUS
Oh I will love you more than that
I won't say the words, then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that

NICK
Baby you deserve much better
What's the use in holding on
Don't you see it's now or never
'Cause I just can't be friends
Baby knowing in the end, that

CHORUS
I will love you more than that
I won't say the words, then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say

BRIDGE
There's not a day that passes by
AJ
I don't wonder why we haven't tried
It's not too late to change your mind
AJ
So take my hand, don't say goodbye

BRIAN
I will love you more than that
I won't say the words, then take them back

Oh I will love you more than that
I won't say those words, then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
BRIAN
I will love you more than that

Oh I will love you more than that
I won't say those words, then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance

Just what the path has brought me
To the man I wanna be
I know that we have had some times
That we can't forget the struggle
'Cause we have so far to go

AJ
I know we've changed but
Change can be so good
So let's not forget why
It's understood that

Time, sharing our dreams (share every little bit of life with you)
Time, goes on and on everyday, baby
Time is what it is
Come what may(come what may)

NICK

That things are getting better
And you'll soon be on your way
Remember those days
That we would sing at the drop of a dime (Oooh)
Way back when nothing else mattered (Mmm, mm, mm)

I know we've changed, but
Change can be so good

On the crime scene where you're in too deep
I found a note with this number
It's just another clue(that leads to you)
AJ

It's True

Even a lover makes a mistake sometimes
Like any other
Fall out and lose his mind
And I'm sorry for the things I did
For your teardrops over words I said
Can you forgive me and open
your heart once again?
Oh Yeah It's true
I mean it
From the bottom of my heart
Yeah, it's true
Without you I would fall apart AJ

I know that I was wrong, oh yes
Can you believe me
Maybe your faith is gone

So I wonder if you want me still
Can you forgive me and open
your heart to me once again, oh yeah It's true

How Did I Fall In Love With You
(Howie Dorough/Calum MacColl/Andrew Fromm) BRIAN

Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends, like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be,
Alone

HOWIE
Those days are gone, now I want you so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

CHORUS
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

BRIAN
I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble
HOWIE
I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight

CHORUS
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

BRIDGE
BRIAN
Oh I wanna say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah

HOWIE
I don't wanna live this life
I don't wanna say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

CHORUS
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew
How did I fall, in love, with you?

What Makes You Different (Makes You Beautiful)

You don't run with a crowd
You go your own way
You don't play after dark
You light up my day
Got your own kind of style
That sets you apart
Baby, that's why you captured my heart
I know sometimes you feel like you don't fit in
And this world doesn't know what you have within
When I look at you, I see something rare
A rose that can go anywhere (go anywhere)
And there's no one I know that can compare

CHORUS
What makes you different, makes you beautiful
What's there inside you, shines through to me
In your eyes I see, all the love I'll ever need
You're all I need, oh girl
What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me Hey, yeah

You got something so real
You touched me so deep (touched me so deep)
Say material things
Don't matter to me
So come as you are
You've got nothing to prove
You won me with all that you do
And I want to take this chance to say to you

CHORUS

You don't know how you touched my life
Oh in so many ways I just can't describe
You taught me what love is supposed to be
You saw the little things that make you beautiful to me (so beautiful)
What makes you...

CHORUS

Everything you do is beautiful (so beautiful)
Love you give shines right through me (shines right through me)
Everything you do is beautiful (oh)
You're beautiful to me (to me)
