Please Dont Go Girl

We've been together for a long time, baby
Do you have to leave?
Please don't go girl

I just want you to know
That I will always love you
Ooh, baby

Please don't go, baby, no

Cover Girl

I get up in the morning and I see your face, girl
You're looking so good, everything's in place
Don't you know I could never leave your side, girl
Won't you stay here with me and be my bride?
Don't you know you're my kind, you're just what I like, girl
You're everything, don't you know you're alright
The only girl I've always needed for so long
You're my everything

Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh

When I look through the pages of a magazine
Still, your pretty face is the prettiest I've seen
Don't you know I only want to be with you
No other girl could make me feel the way you do
You're my everything

Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Bass! It's alright
Oh, yeah, it's out of sight
Let me say it's alright, ah. Yeah!

Don't you know I only want to be with you
No other girl could make me feel the way you do
You're my everything

Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, she's my cover girl

Hangin Tough

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Listen up everybody if you wanna take a chance.

Don't worry 'bout nothing 'cause it won't take long.

Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
[Rap:] We're rough.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Everybody's always talkin' 'bout who's on top.
[Rap:] Don't cross our path 'cause you're gonna get stomped.
We ain't gonna give anybody any slack.
[Rap:] And if you try to keep us down we're gonna come right back,
and you know we're
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
[Rap:] Are you tough enough?
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
[Rap:] We're rough.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Get loose everybody 'cause we're gonna do our thing.
[Rap:] 'Cause you know it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings.
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
[Rap:] Are you tough enough?
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
[Rap:] We're rough.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, just hangin' tough, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, hangin' tough.

I Remember When

Days are gone but my love lives on in this space and time.
I remember playing the games, funny nicknames, and all the sunny days,
that shine so brightly.
I keep remembering when we started together as friends.
I keep remembering when we were together forever.

The promise we made still stays in my head like the melody.
I remember favorite songs we heard all night long in the candlelight
still shines so brightly.
I keep...

I bet you didn't know how much I loved you.
I bet you didn't know just how much I care.
Little girl, whenever I'm around you, all in love is fair, girl.
I keep...
[repeat & fade]

My Favorite Girl

My favorite girl, oh, she's my favorite girl, don't you know,
my favorite girl, oh, she's my favorite girl.

You walked into my life, your love was so new,
and nothing will ever change my feelings for you,
well, you were so far away, now I am close to you, girl,
so let us run away, our heart that's waiting will stay.

My favorite...

There's so much I like in you I can't go on,
I wanted a girl like you I've looked so long,
girl, nothing will make us wrong, I know our love is too strong,
let's leave the rest behind, our dreams ask what we will find.

My favorite...
My favorite...
[Rap:] She's my favorite girl, the one I'm always thinking of, that one.
[Rap:] My favorite girl, the one I love.

My favorite... [repeat & fade ad lib]

Hold On

Hold on, girl, ooh, girl, hold on
Girl, let's rock around the clock, we can dance and never stop
Come on, girl, just hold on tight, I know you wanna rock tonight
Through the night into the day we could chase our blues away
So grab a hold, don't lose control, I really know you got the soul
Hold on, girl, hold on, ooh, girl, hold on
Hold on, girl, hold on, ooh, girl, hold on
Girl, the feeling's in the air, don't you know, it's everywhere
Everywhere around the block people dance until they just can't stop
Through the night
Hold on, girl, hold on, ooh, girl, hold on
Hold on, girl, hold on, ooh, girl, hold on

Hangin' Tough Info:
(buy at amazon.com)
Hangin' Tough

Hangin' Tough is the second studio album by American boy band New Kids on the Block, released on August 12, 1988, by Columbia Records. It is widely regarded as the group's breakthrough album, gaining positive reviews for their musical transition from bubblegum pop to urban contemporary, blended with popular rock music.

The group's label had planned to end their contract when their 1986 debut garnered little commercial and critical attention, which nearly led to their breakup. However, Maurice Starr, the group's producer, diligently persuaded the label to let them record a second album.

Hangin' Tough led the group to success due to the emergence of their music to radio airplay and creation of music videos for each released single, showcasing the group's visual appeal. Their popularity was eventually built as they made TV appearances and embarked on promotional tours.

By the end of 1989, the album topped the US Billboard 200 charts, while it peaked at number two on the Canadian Albums Chart that year and the UK Albums Chart the following year. The record has a home-media video release entitled New Kids on the Block: Hangin' Tough, which is a documentary musical film about the group's biographical career, released in 1989.

It also contains a series of music videos, live performances, and exclusive interviews from the group and their fans. The album and film received accolades: two American Music Awards and at least one Grammy Award nomination.

With sales of more than fifteen million copies worldwide, Hangin' Tough became the group's best-selling album and was certified Diamond in Canada by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA), with sales of more than one million units, and 8× Platinum in the U.S. by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), making it the country's second-best-selling album of 1989, behind Bobby Brown's Don't Be Cruel. The record spawned five commercial singles: "Please Don't Go Girl", "You Got It (The Right Stuff)", "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)", "Hangin' Tough", and "Cover Girl".

All were top-ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making NKOTB the first teen act to gain such chart success. An album titled More Hangin' Tough,, which included remixed and instrumental versions of the original songs, was issued in Japan. Following the 2019 release of the 30th Anniversary Edition of the album, which contains remixes of previous singles plus three newly recorded songs, the record re-entered the US Billboard 200 chart at number 18.
