Ladies and gentlemen
It’s my pleasure to introduce to you
He’s a friend of mine (Yes, yes, I am)
And he goes by the name
Haha, Justin (Wow-ooh)
All the way from Memphis, Tennessee
And he got somethin’ special for y’all tonight
He gon’ sing a song for y’all about this girl
(Come in right here?)
Yeah, come on
(Verse 1: Justin Timberlake & Pharrell Williams)
On that sunny day, didn’t know I’d meet
Such a beautiful girl walkin’ down the street (Sing it)
Seen those bright brown eyes with tears coming down (So he said to himself)
She deserves a crown, but where is it now?
Mama, listen
(Chorus 1: Justin Timberlake)
Señorita, I feel for you
You deal with things that you don’t have to
He doesn’t love ya, I can tell by his charm
But you could feel this real love
If you just lay in my—
(Verse 2: Justin Timberlake)
Runnin’ fast in my mind, girl, don’t you slow it down
If we carry on this way, this thing might leave the ground
How would you like to fly? That’s how my queen should ride
But you still deserve the crown, oh, hasn’t it been found?
Mama, listen
(Chorus 1: Justin Timberlake)
Señorita, I feel for you (Feel for you)
You deal with things that you don’t have to
He doesn’t love ya, I can tell by his charm (He don’t love ya, baby)
But you could feel this real love (Feel it)
If you just lay in my—
(Post-Chorus: Justin Timberlake & Pharrell Williams)
Ah, ah, arms (Oh) (Won’t you lay in my)
Ah, ah, arms (Ho) (Mama, lay in my)
Ah, ah, arms (Bring it down, h!) (Baby, won’t you lay in my)
Ah, ah, arms (Ho)
(Bridge: Justin Timberlake)
When I look into your eyes (Just listen, baby)
I see something that money can’t buy (Just hear me, baby, oh)
And I know if you give us a try (I want you, girl)
I’ll work harder for you, girl (Woah, oh)
And no longer will you ever have to cry
(Chorus 1: Justin Timberlake)
Señorita, I feel for you (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You deal with things (Deal with things) that you don’t have to
(Don’t have to, oh)
He doesn’t love ya, I can tell by his charm
But you could feel this real love (Feel it)
If you just lay in my—
(Post-Chorus: Justin Timberlake & Pharrell Williams)
Ah, ah, arms (Woah) (Ho) (Sing it)
Ah, ah, arms (Ho) (Ah, baby)
Ah, ah, arms (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah) (Ho)
Ah, ah, arms (Ho)
(Bridge: Justin Timberlake)
When I look into your eyes (Just listen, baby)
I see something that money can’t buy (Just hear me, baby, oh)
And I know if you give us a try (I want you, girl)
I’ll work harder for you, girl (Woah, oh)
You won’t ever cry
(Interlude: Justin Timberlake)
Now listen
I wanna try somethin’ right now
See, they don’t do this anymore
I’ma sing somethin’
And I want the guys to sing with me
They go:
“It feels like somethin’s heatin’ up, can I leave with you?” (Alright)
And then the ladies go:
“I don’t know what I’m thinking ‘bout, really leavin’ with you”
Guys, sing:
It feels like somethin’s heatin’ up, can I leave with you?
And ladies:
“I don’t know what I’m thinking ‘bout, really leavin’ with you”
Feels good, don’t it? Come on
“It feels like somethin’s heatin’ up, can I leave with you?”
Yeah, ladies
“I don’t know what I’m thinking ‘bout, really leavin’ with you”
(Sho’ look good to me)
Sing it one more time:
“It feels like somethin’s heatin’ up, can I leave with you?”
And ladies:
“I don’t know what I’m thinking ‘bout, really leaving with you”
“It feels like somethin’s heatin’ up, can I leave with you?”
Ladies:
“I don’t know what I’m thinking ‘bout, really leavin’ with you”
(Outro: Justin Timberlake)
Gentlemen, goodnight
Ladies, good morning
And that’s it
Just somethin’ about you
Way I’m lookin’ at you, whatever
Keep lookin’ at me
Gettin’ scared now, right?
Don’t fail me, baby
It’s just Justin
You feel good, right?
Listen
(Verse 1: Justin Timberlake)
I kinda noticed somethin’ wasn’t right
From your colorful face
It’s kinda weird to me since you’re so fine
If it’s up to me, your face will change
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
If you smile, then that should set the tone
Just be limber
And if you let go, the music should move your bones
Just remember
Sing a song with me
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Can’t nobody love you like I love you
You’re a good girl and that’s what makes me trust ya (Hey!)
Late at night, I talk to you
You will know the difference when I touch you
(Verse 2: Justin Timberlake)
See, people are so phony
Nosy ‘cause they’re lonely
Aren’t you sick of the same thing? (Thing, thing)
They say so and so was datin’
Love you or they’re hatin’
When it doesn’t matter anyway
‘Cause we’re here tonight
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
If you smile, then that should set the tone
Just be limber, baby
And if you let go, the music should move your bones
Baby, just remember
Sing a song with me
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Can’t nobody love you like I love you
You’re a good girl and that’s what makes me trust ya (Hey)
Late at night, I talk to you
You will know the difference when I touch you
(Interlude: Justin Timberlake)
Yeah, you know I can make you happy
I could change your life
If you give me that chance to be your man
I won’t let you down, baby
If you give me that chance to be your man
Here, baby, put on my jacket
And then
(Bridge: Justin Timberlake)
Maybe we’ll fly the night away (I just wanna love you, baby)
Girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Maybe we’ll fly the night away (I just wanna love you, baby)
Girl (Ooh)
(Verse 3: Pusha T, Malice, and Justin Timberlake)
Ma, whatchu wanna do? I’m in front of you
Grab a friend, see? I can have fun with two
Or me and you put on a stage show
In the mall, kids ask, “How’d the chain glow?”
Point to her, they say, “Wow, it’s the same glow”
Point to me, I say, “Yeah, it’s the same dough”
We the same type, you my a-like (Yeah)
You have me sleepin’ in the same bed every night
Go ride with me, you deservin’ the best
Take a few shots, let it burn in your chest
We could ride down, pumpin’ N.E.R.D. in the deck
Funny how a few words turn into sex
Play number three, joint called “Brain” (I just love your, brain)
Ma, took a hint, make me swerve in the lane
The name Malicious and I burn every track
Clipse and J. Timberlake, now how heavy is that?
(Bridge: Justin Timberlake)
Maybe we’ll fly the night away (I just wanna love you, baby)
Girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Maybe we’ll fly the night away (I just wanna love you, baby)
Girl
Ho
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Can’t nobody love you like I love you (Can’t love you like I do)
You’re a good girl and that’s what makes me trust you (Makes me trust you like I do) (Hey!)
Late at night, I talk to you (Hey)
You will know the difference when I—
Break it down
(Outro: Justin Timberlake)
You know, I used to dream about this when I was a little boy
I never thought it would end up this way, drums (Hey)
It’s kind of special, right? Yeah
You know, you think about it
Sometimes, people just destined
Destined to do what they do
And that’s what it is
Now, everybody dance
Mr. JT, now what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now what you got, what you got?
Mr. JT, now what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now what you got?
(Verse 1: Justin Timberlake)
You’re sneaky
From the corner of my eye, I saw you eyeing me
I know that you’re watching
Tell me
What would you do if I encouraged you to get next to me
When nobody’s watching?
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
The way your body keeps moving
Is something that makes me weak
Let’s start our own little secrets
For just you and me to keep
Too late to come off shy now
You’ve already gone this far
So baby, make your move, take charge
Show me what you got for me
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Oh, no (Girl)
Is that your hands (Your hands) rubbing on me?
Oh, no (Girl)
Is that your hands (Your hands) feeling on me?
Oh, no (Girl)
Is that your hands (Your hands) rubbing on me?
If so (Girl)
If that’s your hands (Your hands), then tell me what you got for me
(Verse 2: Justin Timberlake)
Baby, I can tell that you want to do more
Than just dance with me
And I don’t mind you flirting
But honestly
Do you really wanna spend the whole night passing looks at me?
(Looks at me)
Come over here and get to working
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
The way your body keeps moving
Is something that makes me weak (Makes me weak)
Let’s start our own little secrets (Yeah)
For just you and me to keep (Us to keep)
Too late to come off shy now
You’ve already gone this far
So baby, make your move, take charge (Oooh)
Show me what you got for me
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Oh, no (Girl)
Is that your hands (Your hands) rubbing on me?
Oh, no (Girl)
Is that your hands (Your hands) feeling on me?
Oh, no (Girl)
Is that your hands (Your hands) rubbing on me?
If so (Girl)
If that’s your hands (Your hands), then tell me what you got for me
(Bridge: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(What you got?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(What you got?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(What you got?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Bridge 2: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland)
Oh, no (Girl)
Is that your hands (Your hands) rubbing on me?
Oh, no (Girl)
Is that your hands (Your hands) feeling on me?
Oh, no (Girl)
Is that your hands (Your hands) rubbing on me?
If so (Girl)
If that’s your hands (Your hands), then tell me what you got for me
Oh, oh, oh, oh… (What you got?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh… (What you got?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh… (What you got?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh… (What you got?)
(Outro: Justin Timberlake)
Oh, no…
Your hands
Feeling on me
Oh, no…
Your hands
Rubbing on me
Le, do, do, do, do…
Sometimes
Sometimes, the world gets hard
Nah, nah-nah, nah
I’m gonna take it from here, girl
Don’t you worry
(Verse 1)
I wanna be your lake or your bay
And any problems that you have, I wanna wash ’em away
I wanna be your sky
So blue and high
And every time you think of me, I wanna blow your mind
(Verse 2)
I wanna be your air
So sweet and fair
So when you feel that you can’t breathe
Ma, I’ll be there
And I wanna be your answer all the time
When you see how I put your life before mine
With no question
(Chorus)
When all the love feels gone
And you can’t carry on
Don’t worry, girl
I’ma take it from here
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time
Don’t worry, girl
I’ma take it from here
(Verse 3)
I wanna hold your hands
Review all your plans
I wanna make sure every one of your dreams will stand
I wanna be your Broadway show on review (Why?)
So I can act out how God was when He made you
I wanna be your lighthouse when you get lost (Light the way for you, baby)
I’ll light a bright and shining path to help you across
I wanna be your mother, wait
See what I see
And when you see that can’t nobody hold you like me
‘Cause I love you
(Chorus)
When all the love feels gone
And you can’t carry on
Don’t worry, girl
I’ma take it from here (Take it from here, baby)
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time
Don’t worry, girl (No, no)
I’ma take it from here
(Verse 4)
And when there’s no one there to hold
And you realize the world is cold
Don’t worry, girl
I’ma take it from here (That’s what I’m gonna do)
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time (Don’t you worry, baby girl, baby girl)
Don’t worry, girl (Baby girl, baby girl, baby girl)
I’ma take it from here (I’ll take you wherever you want)
(Bridge)
Give me one reason why we should not be leaving
This world is so deceiving, the time is now
Let’s fly away, speeding
Through the Garden of Eden
Where all the sweet are breathing and love surrounds
(Chorus)
When all the love feels gone
And you can’t carry on
Don’t worry, girl
I’ma take it from here
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time
Don’t worry, girl
I’ma take it from here
(Bridge)
Give me one reason why we should not be leaving
This world is so deceiving, the time is now
Let’s fly away, speeding (Fly away)
Through the Garden of Eden
Where all the sweet are breathing and love surrounds
(Chorus)
When all the love feels gone
And you can’t carry on
Don’t worry, girl
I’ma take it from here
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time
Don’t worry, girl
I’ma take it from here (I got somethin’ I wanna tell ya, baby)
(Interlude)
Love ain’t always the way they write in books (No, no, no, no)
See, there’s the good guys and also heartbreak crooks (No, no, no, no)
Your heart’s the real book, just take a look inside (No, no, no, no)
‘Cause it’s a colorful, illustrated guide (No, no, no, no)
(Outro)
So there you go
Don’t worry
To help you weather the storm
I’ll be there, mami
No matter what time
No matter what place
You can always count on me
I’ma take it from here
You were my sun, you were my earth
But you didn’t know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance and made other plans
But I bet you didn’t think that they would come crashing down, no
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
You don’t have to say
What you did
I already know
I found out from him
Now there’s just no chance
With you and me
There’ll never be
And don’t it make you sad about it?
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
You told me you loved me, why did you leave me all alone?
Now you tell me you need me when you call me on the phone
Girl, I refuse, you must have me confused with some other guy
The bridges were burned, now it’s your turn to cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river (Yeah, yeah)
(Verse 2: Justin Timberlake)
You know that they say that some things are better left unsaid
And it wasn’t like you only talked to him and you know it
Don’t act like you don’t know it
And all of these things people told me keep messin’ with my head (Messin’ with my head)
Should’ve picked honesty, then you may not have blown it, yeah
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
You don’t have to say (Don’t have to say)
What you did (What you did)
I already know (I already know)
I found out from him (Uh)
Now there’s just no chance (No chance)
With you and me (You and me)
There’ll never be
And don’t it make you sad about it?
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
You told me you loved me, why did you leave me all alone? (All alone)
Now you tell me you need me when you call me on the phone (When you call me on the phone)
Girl, I refuse, you must have me confused with some other guy (Not like them, baby)
The bridges were burned, now it’s your turn (It’s your turn) to cry (So)
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Baby, go on and just)
Cry me a river (Yeah, yeah)
(Bridge: Timbaland & Justin Timberlake)
Oh (Oh, well)
The damage is done, so I guess I’ll be leavin’ (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh (Oh, well)
The damage is done, so I guess I’ll be leavin’ (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh (Oh, well)
The damage is done, so I guess I’ll be leavin’ (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh (Oh, well)
The damage is done, so I guess I’ll be l-l-l-l-leavin’ (Oh, oh, oh)
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
You don’t have to say (Don’t have to say)
What you did (What you did)
I already know (I already know)
I found out from him (Uh)
Now there’s just no chance (No chance)
With you and me (You and me)
There’ll never be
Don’t it make you sad about it?
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Baby, go on and just)
Cry me a river (You can go on and just)
Cry me a river (Yeah, yeah)
Cry me a river (Baby, go on and just)
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Come on, baby, cry)
Cry me a river (Don’t wanna cry no more, yeah, yeah)
(Outro: Justin Timberlake)
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Don’t be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body, please stay
Dance with me
You don’t have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you ’til the break of day
Dance with me
(Verse 1: Justin Timberlake)
Guy time, but I don’t mind
Just wanna rock you, girl
I’ll have whatever you have
Come on, let’s give it a whirl
See, I’ve been watchin’ you
And I like the way you move
So go ahead, girl, just do
That ass-shakin’ thing you do
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
So you grab your girls and you grab a couple more
And you all come meet me in the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it’s smellin’ right
So you pass to the left, then you sail to the right
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Don’t be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body, please stay
Dance with me
You don’t have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you ’til the break of day
Dance with me
(Verse 2: Justin Timberlake)
I don’t mean no harm
Just wanna rock you, girl
Make a move, but be calm
Let’s go, let’s give it a whirl
See, it appears to me
You like the way I move
I’ll tell you what I’m gon’ do
Pull you close and share my groove
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
So you grab your girls and you grab a couple more
And you all come meet me in the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it’s smellin’ right
So you pass to the left, then you sail to the right
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Don’t be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body, please stay
Dance with me
You don’t have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you ’til the break of day
Dance with me
(Post-Chorus: Vanessa Marquez & Justin Timberlake)
Talk to me, boy
No disrespect, I don’t mean no harm
Talk to me, boy
But I can’t wait to have you in my arms
Talk to me, boy
Hurry up ‘cause you’re takin’ too long
Talk to me, boy
Better have you naked by the end of this song
(Bridge: Justin Timberlake & Vanessa Marquez)
So what did you come for?
I came to dance with you
And you know that you don’t wanna hit the floor
Came to romance with you
You’re searchin’ for love forever more
And I’ll take a chance
If love is here on the floor, girl
(Interlude: Justin Timberlake)
Hey, dance with me
Yeah
Come on, baby
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Don’t be so quick to walk away (Don’t walk away)
Come on and dance with me
I wanna rock your body, please stay (Let me rock your body)
Come on and dance with me
You don’t have to admit you wanna play (You don’t have to admit you wanna play)
Just dance with me
Just let me rock you ‘til the break of day (Do-do-do-do)
Come on and dance with me
(Post-Chorus: Vanessa Marquez & Justin Timberlake)
Talk to me, boy
No disrespect, I don’t mean no harm
Talk to me, boy
But I can’t wait to have you in my arms
Talk to me, boy
Hurry up ‘cause you’re takin’ too long (Come on, baby)
Talk to me, boy
Better have you naked by the end of this song
(Beatbox Solo)
(Breakdown: Justin Timberlake)
Don’t be so quick to walk away (I was just thinkin’ of you)
Don’t be so quick to walk away (We could do somethin’)
Don’t be so quick to walk away (I like the way you look right now)
Don’t be so quick to walk away (Come over here, baby)
(Outro: Justin Timberlake)
Are you feelin’ me?
Let’s do somethin’
Let’s make a bet
‘Cause I
I better have you naked by the end of this song
I was just walking that day, aimlessly (Oh, oh, no)
You picked a perfect day to bump into me (Perfect day)
Probably should’ve watched the stars in the sky the night before
But for some reason, we still met at your store (You, baby)
Your eyes have a story that they wish to tell
And I have my whole life and I listen well (Hey)
Look, I’ll be your confidant
Tell me anything
But please start it off with how you tuck your wings
Oh
(Chorus)
There’s nothin’ else that I have seen
There’s no getting around it or in between
You’re out of this world
Except you’re not green
Look, you don’t know what you mean
To me, to me
(Verse 2)
All my friends meet you and say you’re the one
(You’re the one, you’re the one, yeah)
And all my meaningless friendships should be done
(I should just leave them alone)
You had a friend, but he did you wrong
But I’m a God-sent sign that reads “Please move on with me”
You taught me to use my heart and forget my eyes
(Use my heart, forget my eyes)
And that’s the way to His kingdom of eternal life
Since you’re an angel, baby, your job’s never done
Too bad the world won’t see you when they dial 9-1-1 (That’s right)
(Chorus)
There’s nothin’ else that I have seen
There’s no getting around it or in between
You’re out of this world
Except you’re not green
Look, you don’t know what you mean
To me, to me
There’s nothin’ else that I have seen
There’s no getting around it or in between
You’re out of this world
Except you’re not green
Look, you don’t know what you mean
To me, to me
(Interlude)
There’s nothin’ else in this world
Like you (Yeah)
So why is it so complicated? (So complicated)
What are you afraid of?
(Bridge)
I’ve been asking everybody what they think
But I don’t know why because they don’t know you
I’m even asking other guys what would they say
But I don’t know why ‘cause they don’t do what I do
Girl, I say an ultimatum’s for you
But you’d probably take that and just run
Now, I gotta decide if I’ma help raise your mind
Seems like the ultimatum’s on me, that’s no fun
(Outro)
I was just walking that day, aimlessly
Da, da, da-dum
Da, da, da-dum
Da, da, da-dum
Da, da, dum-dum-dum-dum, oh, ooh
Da, da da-dum, ooh, ooh
I just want to enjoy my life
And show this world how to care
And nothing brings more joy to my life
Than knowing my girl will be there
(Pre-Chorus)
Are you happy, girl?
Knowing that you ran and broke my heart in a piece or two
Knowing that I would have walked across the ocean for you
Saying you’re young and confused
Well, that’s a lame excuse
That’s why the only one to blame is you
(Chorus)
For last night
Can’t believe what I was hearing
Telling me to have a nice life
So tonight
I don’t think I’ll spare your feelings
(You’re on your own)
I’ma do, for me, what’s right
(Verse 2)
In your eyes, I see a second chance
Maybe I should take another glance
But for now, I’ll wash my hands
‘Cause I love ya, baby, love ya, baby
Pharrell say “Don’t do it the same”
But I say ain’t playing my games
But for you, my soul still remains
‘Cause I love ya, baby, love ya, baby
(Pre-Chorus)
Are you happy, girl?
Knowing that you ran and broke my heart in a piece or two
Knowing that I would have walked across the ocean for you
Saying you’re young and confused
Well, that’s a lame excuse
That’s why the only one to blame is you
(Chorus)
For last night
Can’t believe what I was hearing
Telling me to have a nice life
So tonight
I don’t think I’ll spare your feelings
(You’re on your own)
I’ma do, for me, what’s right
(Bridge)
I hope you’re thinking (Remember, girl, when I was your man?)
I hope it sinks in (If you don’t understand, then you don’t understand)
Well, I guess I’m gonna stop dreaming (The way I feel)
About you, you (Ow)
(Chorus)
Last night
Can’t believe what I was hearing
Telling me to have a nice life
So tonight
I don’t think I’ll spare your feelings
(You’re on your own)
I’ma do, for me, what’s right
Last night (Just-a last night)
Can’t believe what I was hearing (Just can’t believe it, baby)
Telling me to have a nice life (Oh)
So tonight (Yeah)
I don’t think I’ll spare your feelings
(You’re on your own)
I’ma do, for me, what’s right
(Got something I wanna tell ya, girl)
(Bridge)
I hope you’re thinking (Remember, girl, when I was your man?)
I hope it sinks in (If you don’t understand, then you don’t understand)
Well, I guess I’m gonna stop dreaming (The way I feel)
About you (Let me tell you one more time)
I hope you’re thinking (Remember, girl, when I was your man?) (My baby)
I hope it sinks in (If you don’t understand, then you don’t understand) (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well, I guess I’m gonna stop dreaming (The way I feel)
About you
(Outro)
Oh, baby
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
See, I ain’t gonna be the one
Ain’t gonna play these games with you
But I still love you
Remember, girl, when I was your man?
Ain’t nothing gon’ take that away
No, no, no, no, no, no-no
See, I remember
In December
We were walking holding hands
And I was your man
Can’t we just get back to that?
Baby
The beautiful days are long gone
I can’t seem to breathe
Feels like it hasn’t been that long
Since you walked away from me
Now I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know I still think of you that way
And you should know that
The beautiful lights, the star-filled nights
They don’t mean a thing
‘Cause you were my star so it don’t seem right
Without you here with me
Now, I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know it’s hard for me to say
You were my soul
(Chorus)
Now, I could say that I don’t love you no more
And I could say that I’ve closed the door for our love
And I can tell you I feel it’s time for us to go our separate ways
But baby, I just wouldn’t be the same
‘Cause girl, your love is still on my brain
(Verse 2)
Now, when you’re in love, it takes time to heal
When someone’s broken your heart, it changes how you feel
Girl, I thought that you’d never do me that way
But even after all, I still think of you that way
(Chorus)
(Now, I) Now, I could say that I don’t love you no more
(I could say this, I could say that)
And I could say that I’ve closed the door for our love
And I can tell you I feel it’s time for us to go our separate ways
But baby, I just wouldn’t be the same
‘Cause girl, your love is still on my brain
(Bridge)
Now, love is a game that we both like to play
But will I win or lose if I go or if I stay? Yeah
Even though I try to hide my broken heart inside
Girl, you know me inside out and I can’t get you off my mind
(Chorus)
Now, I could say that I don’t love you no more (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I could say that I, yeah, yeah)
And I could say that I’ve closed the door for our love (Closed the door)
(I can tell you) And I can tell you I feel it’s time for us to go our separate ways
(No, no) But baby, I just wouldn’t be the same
(The same) ‘Cause girl, your love is still on my brain, yeah
(Outro)

I know you’re watchin’ me
Hey, boy, come on and take me now
What you waitin’ for?
I know you’re watchin’ me
Hey, boy, come on and take me now
(Verse 1: Justin Timberlake)
Can I talk to you for a minute?
You’ve been lookin’ all night for your shining star
Baby, here I am, so why you waitin’?
Step on over, let me show you how bad you are
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Just let me take the lead
All you gotta do is let your mind be free
Let’s hit the floor and cause a scene
Get real wet, if you know what I mean
What you say, baby?
(Chorus: Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Janet Jackson)
(And she said) Take me now
I’m hungry for your lovin’
(And she said) Show me how
You got me working, honey
(And she said) Right now
I’m hot just like an oven (And she said)
So take me now
Boy, you make me feel like I gotta dance
(I gotta dance, gotta dance, baby, I gotta dance)
(Verse 2: Justin Timberlake)
I feel good to you, you try to hide it
But I can tell by the way you push up close to me
Your body temperature is a-risin’
Something’s goin’ down as far as I can see
(Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
Just let me take the lead
All you gotta do is let your mind be free
Let’s hit the floor and cause a scene
Get real wet, if you know what I mean
What you say, baby?
(Chorus: Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Janet Jackson)
(And she said) Take me now
I’m hungry for your lovin’
(And she said) Show me how
You got me working, honey
(And she said) Right now
I’m hot just like an oven (And she said)
So take me now
Boy, you make me feel like I gotta dance
(Bridge 1: Justin Timberlake)
You know
Don’t I
I said don’t I make you feel like you gotta dance?
(Bridge 2: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland)
Once I get to know ya (No)
I’m gonna show ya (No)
That there’s no better way (Yeah)
Let’s dance the night away (Yeah)
Don’t wanna control ya (No)
Just wanna hold ya (No)
Dance the night away
So what you say, baby, what you say now?
(What you sayin’ to me?)
(Chorus: Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Janet Jackson)
(And she said) Take me now
(Oh)
I’m hungry for your lovin’
(Hungry for you)
(And she said)
Show me how
(Oh)
You got me workin’, honey
(Got me working)
(And she said)
Right now

(And she said)

Boy, you make me feel like I gotta dance
(Break: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland)
Like you gotta dance
Like you gotta dance
Like you gotta dance, no
Like you gotta dance
Like you gotta dance
Like you gotta dance, no
Here we go now
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Break it down
(Outro: Timbaland & Justin Timberlake)
I’m like a hurricane
Just coasting along
You better grab me, girl
I hope you take me now (T-T-Take me now)
I’m like a hurricane
Just coasting along
You better grab me, girl
T-t-take me now
I’m like a hurricane
Just coasting along
You better grab me, girl
T-t-take me now
I’m like a hurricane
Just coasting along
You better grab me, girl
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-take me now
Take me now
I’m hungry for your loving
Show me how
You got me working, honey
Right now
I’m hot just like an oven
So take me now
Take me now
Take me now
Take me now
I’m hungry for your loving
Show me how
You got me working, honey
Right now
I’m hot just like an oven
So take me now
Boy, you make me feel like I gotta dance
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it’s right for me
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But you gotta work the thing right for me
(Verse 1: Justin Timberlake)
Little baby with the sun dress on
You’re looking so damn right, you’re wrong
Make me wanna write my own little song for you
The way the thing just wiggle in the air
Turn around and then you flip your hair
I could think of a couple positions for you
You’re wasting no time talking to me
Must be something you want me to see
Well, baby girl, don’t mind me if I do
So take the stage and show me what you got
Feeling lucky, let me touch your spot
Might be leaving with me before the night is through
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it’s right for me
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But you gotta work the thing right for me
(Verse 2: Justin Timberlake)
Your body’s saying things I ain’t never heard
You did the shake-shake and I kinda went berserk
Gotta give it to you, girl, you’re one of a kind
When you took my hand up so calm
Touched it to your cherry lip balm
A million nasty things went through my mind
So baby, tell me what you’re doing later on
‘Cause I’m thinking me and you could get along
Baby girl, don’t mind me if I do
So take the stage and show me what you got
Feeling lucky, let me touch your spot
Might be leaving with me before the night is through
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it’s right for me
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But you gotta work the thing right for me
(Verse 3: Bubba Sparxxx)
Yeah, Bubba come stumblin’ in
Get up, huntin’ “Betty” with Justin and them
We must be the flyest of Southerner men
That’s your girl, well, buddy, don’t fumble it then
You better get her, I’m totally into my zone
Come on girl, close your eyes pretend that you’re home
I will be puttin’ my signature on
That thing I don’t even wan’ finish the song, let’s go
I’m gettin’ discouraged with her
Too late now we’re friends, I surely prefer
Listen to every word that I slur
Other dudes be huggin’ and nourishin’ her
Not me, I bet you remember the night
Good ol’ Bubba K. came into her life
Test the water, let me know if the temperature right
Thank you, ma’am, it’s certainly been a delight, uh-huh
(Chorus: Justin Timberlake)
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it’s right for me
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But you gotta work the thing right for me
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But I gotta make sure it’s right for me
I got plans tonight
And you, you know what I like
And you’re approaching me right
But you gotta work the thing right for me
(Outro: Justin Timberlake)
So right for me
Hey, hey
So right for me
You so right for me
Hop in the car and go with me
You don’t have to pack everything
Don’t you wanna feel the breeze?
And forget everything, baby
Hop in the car and go with me
You don’t have to pack everything
Don’t you wanna feel the breeze?
And forget everything, baby
(Verse 1)
Got laid off at your job today
You’ve been working at this place for years
And though you were underpaid
Mami, that place isn’t worth your tears
(Oh, oh)
(Verse 2)
I know that life is hard on you
And you can’t seem to find out why
I’ll explain, just grab your coat, girl
And just join me on this ride
(Chorus)
Let’s take a ride on the country side
Let’s just get away-ay
We can spend the night ’til the morning light
Let’s just get away-ay
(Verse 3)
Girl, you’re the best
You could be
An angel among society
But you get crushed
From what you see
You try hard to help and that’s enough for me (Woo, woo)
(Pre-Chorus)
Try to change what you can
And accept all the things that you cannot
(Don’t stress yourself, baby)
I know you wanna fly away from the world
But for now with the time we’ve got
(Chorus)
Let’s take a ride on the country side
Let’s just get away-ay
We can spend the night ’til the morning light
Let’s just get away-ay
Let’s take a ride on the country side
Let’s just get away-ay (Let’s just get away)
We can spend the night ’til the morning light
Let’s just get away-ay (Let’s just get away)
(Bridge)
Maybe if you consider us just riding
That once you feel like a winner
No more crying
And baby, I know just what you need (I know)
To let your hair down so that you feel free, yeah
(Hair, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It hurts me to watch you sing the blues (It hurts me, baby)
Girl, you’re so confused (Let’s get away)
And I know what to do
(Chorus)
Let’s take a ride on the country side
Let’s just get away-ay (Let’s just get away)
(Let’s go, girl)
We can spend the night ’til the morning light (Night)
Let’s just get away-ay (Let’s just get away)
Let’s take a ride
Hop in the car and go with me
You don’t have to pack everything
Don’t you wanna feel the breeze?
And forget everything, baby (Let’s take a ride)
Hop in the car and go with me
You don’t have to pack everything
Don’t you wanna feel the breeze?
And forget everything, baby
(Outro)
Let’s take a ride
Let’s go, girl
Let’s go, girl
Let’s go, girl
Let’s go, girl
Would have given up my life for you
Guess it’s true what they say about love, it’s blind
Girl, you lied straight to my face, looking in my eyes
And I believed you ’cause I loved you more than life
And all you had to do
Was apologize
(Chorus)
You didn’t say you’re sorry
I don’t understand
You don’t care that you hurt me
And now I’m half the man
That I used to be when it was you and me
You didn’t love me enough
My heart may never mend
And you’ll never get to love me again
No, no, no, no, no, no
(Verse 2)
Sadness has me at the end of the line
Helpless, watched you break this heart of mine
And loneliness only wants you back here with me
Common sense knows that you’re not good enough for me
And all you had to do
Was apologize and mean it
(Chorus)
But you didn’t say you’re sorry
I don’t understand
You don’t care that you hurt me
And now I’m half the man
That I used to be when it was you and me
You didn’t love me enough
My heart may never mend
And you’ll never get to love me
(Bridge)
Wish like hell I could go back in time
Maybe then, I could see how
Forgiveness says that I should give you one more try
But it’s too late, it’s over now
Ayy, ooh
(Chorus)
You didn’t say you’re sorry
And I don’t understand
You don’t care that you hurt me
And now I’m half the man
That I used to be when it was you and me
You didn’t love me enough
My heart may never mend
And you’ll never get to love me
Again, yeah
(Outro)
Again, yeah, yeah
Again, again, again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Never get to love me
Bonus Tracks
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ohh, yeah, yeah
(Verse 1)
Girl, I find you so amazing
With everyday, I learn more about you
The way you work day out and day in
And still find time for us too, yeah
I love the fact that you’re there for me when I feel down
No matter what I’m going through
Lately, I’ve been questioning myself
Am I good enough for you?
(Chorus)
Am I worthy of
Am I man enough
Am I strong enough
To maintain this love?
You’ve got me questioning (Yeah)
Got me wondering (Yeah, yeah)
Could I be that man?
That can keep you happy
(Verse 2)
I know that there’ll be times when I’ll be miles away
And you’ll be all alone
I constantly fight my insecurities
When I can’t reach you by phone
And, oh, Lord knows that I’m only human
So please forgive me if I ask so many silly questions
I know that you truly love me but
Fear has me second-guessing
(Chorus)
Am I worthy of
Am I man enough
Am I strong enough
To maintain this love?
You’ve got me questioning
Got me wondering
Could I be that man?
That can keep you happy
(Bridge)
Girl, excuse my ways (Excuse my ways)
I’m not trying to push your love away (Your love away)
It’s just that sometimes my imagination gets the best of me, yeah
I still love you, baby, everyday, yeah, yeah
(Chorus)
Am I worthy of
Am I man enough
Am I strong enough
To maintain this love? (To maintain this love)
You’ve got me questioning
Got me wondering (You got me thinking about myself)
Could I be that man (Am I good enough for you?)
That can keep you happy (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Am I worthy of?
Am I man enough?
Am I strong enough (Strong enough, yeah)
To maintain this love? (To maintain this love)
You’ve got me questioning
Got me wondering (You got me wondering, yeah)
Could I be that man?
That can keep you happy
(Outro)
Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I wanna keep you happy
Do…
Do… Oooh…
You’re still captivating even though it’s been so long
You used to love me, tell me baby what went wrong
‘Cause now you march to the beat of a different song
Try to understand that we needed space
But everywhere I turn I see your face
I’ve been waiting for you to come home
‘Cause I don’t want to be alone
I still love you
Why did you take away your love
When did you think to just give up
How am I supposed to carry on now
Without you
You are my light
I have changed girl since I last saw you
When you left, you don’t know what you put me through
But my heart’s still racing just being next to you
I can’t escape the magic in your eyes
Is there a way to make you realize
There’s no one more special to my heart
But you want us to be apart
I still love you
Why did you take away your love, baby
When did you think to just give up, yea
How am I supposed to carry on now
Without you
You were my world
You meant everything to me
You’re the air I breathe
The song I sing
You were my queen, I was your king
But if we can try to work it
We’ll show the world what love is about
Baby come home cause I can’t take no more
Of this loneliness
And emptiness
Why did you take away your love
(Take away your love)
When did you think to just give up
(Oh…)
How am I supposed to carry on now
Without you
Why did you take away your love
When did you think to just give up
How am I supposed to carry on
Without you
You are my
You are my light
