Backstreet Boys - Black & Blue Lyrics






The Call

[Phone rings girl picks up]

[Girl:] "Hello?"
[AJ:] (lot's of people talking in background)"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:] [people get louder] "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]

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in mysery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
Said 'Hi, I got a little place nearby
Wanna go?', I should have said 'No'
Someone's waiting for me
But I called my girl up and said

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
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
I gotta go

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

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
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
I gotta go

[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 mysery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
Said I, I got a little place nearby
Gotta go

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
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
Gotta go

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
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
We're goin to a place nearby
Gotta go

Shape Of My Heart

Yeah, yeah

Baby, please try to forgive me
Stay here don't put out the glow
Hold me now don't bother
If every minute it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man that I've become, oh yeah

Looking back on the things I've done
I was trying to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Sadness is beautiful, loneliness that's tragical
So help me I can't win this war, oh no
Touch me now, don't bother
If every second it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man I've become

Looking back on the things I've done
I was trying to be someone (trying)
I played my part, kept you in the dark (in the dark)
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

I'm here with my confession
Got nothing to hide no more
I don't know where to start
But to show you the shape of my heart

I'm lookin' back on things I've done
I never wanna play the same old part
I'll keep you in the dark (keep you in the dark)
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Looking back on the things I've done
I was trying to be someone (trying to be someone)
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart (now let me show you the shape of my heart)
Looking back on the things I've done
I was trying to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of

Show you the shape of my heart

Shining Star

[Chorus]
You're my shining star
That is what you are
There is no one like you baby
Angels everywhere
Every time you're near
You will always be my baby

Baby when you do the things you do
I want to be close to you
Cause I need to feel your every move, oh
Baby I can never say how much
I need your touch, I can't get enough
Cause you know what to do to turn me on, yeah

[Chorus]

Baby you're as close as close can get
And baby you know I'd let
Every single part of me be yours, ooh yeah
It doesn't matter if the phone might ring
Cause I won't hear a thing when I'm in your arms
Cause you know what to do to turn me on

[Chorus]

I've never been so satisfied
With anything in my entire life
Cause you are doing everything so right
Oh, oh baby
I've never been so satisfied
With anything in my entire life
Cause you are doing everything so right
Oh, oh baby

[Chorus]

You know that I adore you
Want to be there everyday for you
To satisfy your every needs my baby, baby
You know that I adore you
Want to be there everyday for you
To satisfy your every needs my baby, baby

I Promise You (With Everything I Am)

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

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

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

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

There are no guarantees
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 â??til death do us part
I promise you
As a lover and a friend
I will love you like I'll never love again
With everything I am

With everything I am

The Answer To Our Life

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

And we're not gonna take any more,
Can we try to erase all the pain?

So please,
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

This world is not at ease,
We seem to hide the truth
Thinkin' there's only
So much we can really do

It's up to you and me,
To face our destiny,
The journey's here
So let's take a stand

And we're not gonna take any more,
Can we try to erase all the pain?

So please,
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

So tell me why we have to cry,
When there's so many things we can do
To help this troubled
World start anew

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

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

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

Everyone

We've been through days of thunder
Some people say they don't belong
They try to put us under
But here we stand together and a million 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)
We know who you are
and this one goes out to you

Everyone, everyone, everyone
Said this one goes out to you
Everyone, we're standing strong cause of what you've done
and this one goes out to you.

[more synthesized voicing; saying Backstreet]

We've been inside the circus (circus music plays a bit)
We take the pleasure with the pain
I guess there's something about us
Whatever comes around we'll always stay the same
Oh yeah
Let's get on with the show (Oh Let's get started)
Turn the lights down low (Turn the lights down low)
You were there from the start (You were there)
We know who you are
We know, who you are!

Everyone, everyone, everyone
Said this one goes out to you
Everyone, we're standing strong cause of what you've done
and this one goes out to you.

[music break and synthesized voicing]

Now we're minutes away
Till it's time to play
Our heart beats are rising
they're letting you in
Time for the show to begin

We, we're standing stong cuz of what you've done
this one goes out to you you you
You make us feel like we've just begun
And this one goes out to you

Everyone, everyone, everyone
Said this one goes out to
Everyone, we're standing strong cause of what you've done
and this one goes out to you.

Everyone, everyone, everyone(yeah)
Said this one goes out to
Everyone, we're standing strong cause of what you've done

More Than That

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

I heard him promise you forever
But forevers come and gone
Baby he would say whatever
It takes to keep you blind
To the truth between the lines

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
I will love you more than that

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

That 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

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

I will love you more than that
I won't say those 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
I will love you, 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
I will love you more than that

Time

I know that I, I can't believe
Just what the past 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

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

[chorus:]
Time, look where we are and what we've been through
Time, sharing our dreams
Time, goes on and on everyday, baby
Time is what it is
Come what mayc(come what may)

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

I know we've changed, but
Change can be so good
Oh so let's not forget why it's understood that

[chorus:]
Time, look where we are and what we've been through
(look where we are)
Time, sharing our dreams (dreams, dreams, dreams, oh yeah)
Time, (goes on and on) goes on and on everyday (everyday)
Time is what it is (Oh)
Come what may (come what may)

[bridge:]
So here we are (here we are)
And we'll always stay together
And through it all you know we owe it all to you, you, you , you
Time goes on and on

[chorus:]
Time (Time), look where we are and what we've been through
Time, sharing our dreams
Time, (goes on and on) goes on and on everyday (everyday)
Time is what it is (Time is what is it)

Time (Time), look where we are and what we've been through
Time (Time), sharing our dreams (sharing our dreams)

Not For Me

I was looking for something
On the crime scene where you're in too deep
I found a note with this number
It's just another clue(it leads to you)
I got a little suspicious, I got a feeling
That you ain't true to me
I should have known better than to buy your lies

You can fool anyone but I got eyes to see
That you're not for me, babe

No No Uh uh
Things will never be the same again with you
No No Uh uh
Now I know what it's coming to
No No Uh uh
Cause if you think that it's the way that love, should be
Let me tell you it's not for me

I don't want to be on, your screenplay
Just tell me did you rehearse on me?
I'll give you the story
Baby, whose to win? Me or him?
Caught in the middle
And I'm tired of your games of Hide and Seek
I'm getting the feeling that it's time for me to leave

You can fool anyone but I got eyes to see
That you're not for me, baby

No No Uh uh (yeah yeah)
Things will never be the same again with you
No No Uh uh(Oh)
Now I know what it's coming to
No No Uh uh (yeah-eah)
Cause if you think that it's the way that love, should be
Let me tell you it's not for me

Yeah, yeah
I said no, no
No way
No no, No no
No

I had enough of your talk, your games
And it won't go away (won't go away)
Justify my reasons to stay ( stay, reasons to stay)

No no uh uh
Let me hear you say No no
No no uh uh
No no, let me tell you it's not for me
No no uh uh
Cause if you think that it's the way that love should be
Well let me tell you it's not for me

Its 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

Whatever happened
I know that I was wrong, oh yes
Can you believe me
Maybe your faith is gone
But I love you and I always will
So I wonder if you want me still
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

I'd do anything to make it up to you
So please understand
And open your heart once again

It's true
I mean it
From the bottom of my heart
Yeah, it's true
Without you I would fall apart

How Did I Fall In Love With You?

Remember when
Never needed each other
The best of friends
Like sister and brother
We understood
We'd never be alone

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

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?

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that
I resemble

I cannot pretend
That we can still be friends
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

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?

I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know

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

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
