Kislemezek az albumról
- 01: Goodbye
- 02: Holler/Let Love Lead the Way

FOREVER Spice Girls angol lánycsapat harmadik stúdióalbuma, amelyet 2000. november 1-jén adott ki a Virgin Records. Ez az egyetlen albumuk Geri Halliwell nélkül, aki később 2007-ben csatlakozott a Greatest Hits albumhoz.
A Forever a második helyen végzett a brit albumlistán, és ezzel a csoport egyetlen stúdióalbumává vált, amely nem került a brit listák élére. Később a British Phonographic Industry (BPI) platina minősítést kapott. Az album szintén csak a 39. helyet érte el az amerikai Billboard 200-on. Világszerte több mint kétmillió példányban kelt el az album, ami kereskedelmi csalódás a két korábbi Spice és Spiceworld albumukhoz képest.
A vezető és egyetlen kislemez, a dupla A-oldalas "Holler" és a "Let Love Lead the Way" az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistájának első helyén debütált, ezzel a csoport kilencedik első számú kislemeze lett. Közel két évvel korábban megjelent, 1998-as karácsonyi kislemezük, a "Goodbye" is felkerült az albumra, mint a közeli. A "Tell Me Why", a "Weekend Love" és az "If You Wanna Have Some Fun" promóciós kislemezként jelent meg az albumról, utóbbihoz pedig egy montázszenei videót, amelyet kizárólag európai zenei állomásoknak adtak ki.

HÁTTÉR

kezdett, hogy dalokat írjanak és rögzítsenek egy esetleges harmadik albumhoz és egy élő albumhoz.[3] Ennek az albumnak az eredeti koncepciója az volt, hogy szólódalokat, duetteket és feldolgozásokat mutasson be mind az öt taggal, annak érdekében, hogy népszerűsítse azt az elképzelést, hogy a Spice Girls mind egyéniség, de mégis összeállhat. A lányok a dublini Windmill Lane Stúdióba mentek régi munkatársaikkal, Richard Stannarddal és Matt Rowe-val, hogy új albumon dolgozzanak, és mesterfelvételeket készítsenek egy élő albumhoz. Geri Halliwell hirtelen távozásával a projekt nagy fordulatot vett, a már elkészített dalok közül sokat leselejteztek, az élő albumot pedig törölték.
A Spice Girls 1998 júliusában, Spiceworld turnéjuk észak-amerikai szakasza során rögzítette karácsonyi kislemezét, a "Goodbye"-t. A lányok ismét összeálltak Stannarddal és Rowe-val. A következő évben felvették a "My Strongest Suit"-t az Aida musical koncepcióalbumához. A "Goodbye" 1998. decemberi megjelenése és a Forever 2000. novemberi megjelenése közötti két év alatt a csoport, valamint általában a popzenei táj drámaian megváltozott. Abban a reményben, hogy egy érettebb imázst ápolnak, a csapat amerikai producerekkel szövetkezett, hogy a Forevernek R&B hangzást adjon. A kezdeti felvételek azonban megőrizték korábbi műveik pop hangzását.

ÉRTÉKESÍTÉS ÉS DIAGRAM

A Forever vegyes kritikákat kapott a zenekritikusoktól.
Az Egyesült Királyságban a Forever ugyanazon a héten jelent meg, mint a Westlife Coast to Coast albuma, és a slágerlisták csatájáról a média széles körben beszámolt, ahol a Westlife megnyerte a csatát, elérve az 1. helyet az Egyesült Királyság albumlistáján, így a Spice Girls a 2. helyen áll. A Forever összesen 10 hetet töltött a listán. A British Phonographic Industry (BPI) 2000. november 17-én platina minősítést kapott, ami 300 000 példányt meghaladó szállítmányt jelent. Az Egyesült Államokban az album mérsékelt sikert ért el; a Billboard 200-as listán a 39. helyezést érte el, ami alacsonyabb, mint az előző albumuk, a Spiceworld (1997), amely a harmadik helyen végzett, és 2006 júliusáig 207 000 példányban kelt el belőle. A Forever öt millió példányban kelt el világszerte.
Ausztráliában a kilencedik helyet érte el, és ott arany minősítést kapott. Az album 10. helyezést ért el Ausztriában, és ott is arany minősítést kapott. Kanadában a 6. helyezést érte el, és ott dupla platina minősítést kapott, így ez a Forever legmagasabb minősítése. Az album Németországban is a 6. helyezést érte el, de ott arany minősítést kapott. Írországban a 15. helyen érte el a csúcsot. Az album Új-Zélandon a 25. helyezést érte el, ahol arany minősítést kapott. Svájcban a 11. helyen végzett, és platina minősítést kapott.

KRITIKUS FOGADTATÁS

A Forever vegyes kritikákat kapott a zenekritikusoktól. A Metacritic-nél, amely 100-ból normalizált értékelést ad a mainstream kiadványok kritikáihoz, az album 45-ös átlagos pontszámot kapott kilenc értékelés alapján. James Hunter, a Rolling Stone-tól vegyes kritikában kifejtette, hogy "a Forever valószínűleg reakciót vált ki valahol a közepén – egy kivétellel, ez egyszerűen rendben van." A zenekritikusok ambivalens véleményt alkottak a lemez hangzásában bekövetkezett változásról a a csoport korábbi kiadásai. Stephen Thomas Erlewine (AllMusic) azt írta, hogy a Foreveren a Spice Girls "minden megfelelő lépést megtesz, Rodney Jerkins szupersztár producert bízta meg a legtöbb szám irányításával, és próbál érettnek tűnni, de mindez egy olyan lemezt eredményez, amely furcsa módon öntudatos. és lapos." Andrew Lynch, az Entertainment.ie oldalról így vélekedett: "A produkció olyan sima, mint valaha, de úgy tűnik, hogy a régi Girl Power lelkesedés nagy része kimerült és elszállt – és ezzel együtt a szórakozás nagy része is, amely megváltotta alapvető ragacsosságukat. " David Browne, az Entertainment Weekly munkatársa így nyilatkozott: "Minden műfaji klisé, a homogenizált harmóniáktól a finoman pengetős hangszereken át a férfi rapper közbeszólásokig, biztonságosan a helyén van. A zene annyira ízléses, visszafogott és futószalagon jártas, hogy korán megtörténik. az olyan kislemezek, mint a 'Say You'll Be There', úgy hangzanak, mint a legnyersebb punk rock." Betty Clarke, a The Guardian munkatársa negatívan értékelte a Forever-et, és kijelentette, hogy "végső soron vágyakozik azokra a mámorító danokra, amikor a Spice Girls pop volt, és büszke rá.”
Más kritikák pozitívabbak voltak az album produkciójával kapcsolatban. Michael Paoletta, a Billboard munkatársa pozitívan értékelte az albumot, és kijelentette, hogy "árad az időszerű funk ütemektől és olyan jól kidolgozott dalokból, amelyekből az első számú slágerek készülnek." Pozitív értékelésben Stephanie McGrath a Jam! azt írta, hogy az album a csoport kísérlete volt, hogy "tompítsa korábbi ragyogásukat, és kifinomult csavart adjon fülbemászó popzenéjüknek". Azt írta, hogy a csoport „kényelmesebben” hangzik az album stílusához képest, és úgy jellemezte, hogy „tele van jó popzenével”. Natalie Nichols, a Los Angeles Times munkatársa úgy jellemezte, hogy az album énekhangja előrelépést jelent az albumon lévőkhöz képest. elődje, és azt írta, hogy "a lányok több vokális szenvedélyt és tekintélyt gyűjtenek össze" a Spiceworld-hez képest. A The Sonic Net kritikája azt írta, hogy az album "nagyon profinak" hangzott, de azt is írta, hogy "csak egy kemény rajongó tagadhatja, hogy a virágzás határozottan a rózsáról szól."

KISLEMEZEK

GOODBYE Spice Girls brit lánycsapat által rögzített dal. Írta a csoport, Richard Stannard és Matt Rowe, míg a producere az utóbbi kettő. A dal lett a csoport első dala Geri Halliwell éneke nélkül. A Virgin Records adta ki 1998. december 14-én, majd felkerült harmadik stúdióalbumukra, a Foreverre (2000). A "Goodbye" egy popballada, amely szövegileg egy baráttól, konkrétan Halliwelltől való búcsúból áll. A dalszövegeket a média és a rajongók is a csoport végének tekintették, bár az ötletet a tagok elvetették.
A "Goodbye" pozitív kritikákat kapott a zenekommentátoroktól, akik szerint ez a csoport egyik legjobb kislemeze. A dal kereskedelmi sikert aratott, az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistájának élére került, és a Spice Girls lett az első fellépés, amelynek három egymást követő karácsonyi első számú kislemeze volt az 1965-ös The Beatles óta. Kanadában, Új-Zélandon, Írországban és Olaszországban, és az első öt között csúcsosodott ki a toplistákon Ausztráliában, Dániában, El Salvadorban, Finnországban, Magyarországon, Malajziában, Hollandiában, Svédországban és Tajvanon. Ezenkívül a "Goodbye" a 11. helyet érte el az Egyesült Államok Billboard Hot 100-án.

HOLLER Spice Girls brit lánycsapat dala harmadik stúdióalbumukról, a Foreverről (2000). A csoport írta, további írók pedig Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels és Fred Jerkins III, a producerként pedig Darkchild is szolgált. A számot 2000. október 23-án adta ki az Egyesült Királyságban a Virgin Records a Forever vezető kislemezeként, dupla A-oldalas kislemezként a "Let Love Lead the Way"-vel; a csoport korábban, szeptember 11-én bemutatta a dalt hivatalos honlapján. A „Holler” egy R&B és dance dal, amely a csoport korábbi rágógumi pop-műveitől való eltérést ábrázolja. Szöveg szerint ez abból áll, hogy a tagok "come-ons"-t énekelnek egy férfinak.
A "Holler" vegyes kritikákat kapott a zenekritikusoktól; míg egyesek dicsérték a dal produkcióját és a Spice Girls énekét, mások túlságosan hasonlítottak a Destiny's Child, a Sister Sledge és a TLC műveihez, és úgy gondolták, hogy túlságosan különbözik a csoport korábbi hangzásaitól. A dal kereskedelmi sikert aratott, az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistájának élére került, és a banda kilencedik első számú kislemeze lett a régióban. Ezzel a Spice Girls rekordot hozott a legtöbb első számú kislemezzel rendelkező lánycsapatban. Nemzetközileg kereskedelmileg is sikeres volt, és az első tíz közé jutott olyan országokban, mint Kanada, Dánia, Finnország, Írország és Spanyolország. Az Egyesült Államokban nem érte el a Billboard Hot 100-at, de a Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles listán a 12. helyet sikerült elérnie.
A "Holler" klipjét Jake Nava rendezte, és nagyjából egy időben forgatták a "Let Love Lead the Way" videójával. A lányokat ábrázolta, amint egy-egy négy elemet játszanak, és egy üvegpiramisban is együtt jelennek meg.

LET LOVE LEAD THE WAY Spice Girls brit lánycsapat dala harmadik stúdióalbumukról, a Foreverről (2000). A dalt a zenekar tagjai írták, további írók pedig Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Fred Jerkins III és Harvey Mason Jr., míg a gyártást Darkchild és Mason Jr. végezte. A szám dupla A-oldalként jelent meg. 2000. október 23-án az Egyesült Királyságban a Virgin Records által kiadott "Holler"-dal, és a Forever vezető kislemezeként szolgált. A "Let Love Lead the Way" egy R&B ballada, melyben a csapat lírailag bátorító szavakat énekel a jövőre nézve egy lánynak, amelyet egyes kritikusok szerint Geri Halliwellnek, a csoport egykori tagjának szólt. Melanie C, a csoport tagja úgy jellemezte a dal szövegét, hogy "csak arról szól, hogy a szerelem mindent legyőz".
A "Let Love Lead the Way" vegyes kritikákat kapott a zenekritikusoktól. Míg néhányan dicsérték a számot, mások úgy gondolták, hogy az R&B-vezérelt produkció nem illett a zenekarhoz. A dal kereskedelmi sikert aratott, a brit kislemezlistán az első helyet érte el, a csoport kilencedik első számú kislemeze lett a régióban, és ezzel a legtöbb kislemezzel rendelkező női csoport a slágerlisták élére került. Nemzetközileg kereskedelmileg is sikeres volt, és az első tízbe tetőzött Dániában, Finnországban, Írországban, Olaszországban és Spanyolországban.
A „Let Love Lead the Way” című klipjét Greg Masuak rendezte, és ugyanazt a koncepciót osztotta ki, mint a „Holler” című videót, amelyben a lányok a négy elem valamelyikét játszák.

TELL ME WHY A brit lánycsapat, a Spice Girls dala, amely harmadik stúdióalbumuk, a Forever (2000) második számaként jelenik meg. A dalt Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Fred Jerkins III és Mischke Butler írta. Jerkins és Daniels készítette a dalt. 2000 decemberében adták ki promóciós kislemezként. Eredetileg a Forever második kislemezeként tervezték a kiadást.
Miután a Spice Girls 1998-ban kiadta a "Goodbye"-t első kislemezként Geri Halliwell nélkül, a csoport szünetet tartott. 1999 közepén elkezdtek dolgozni harmadik stúdióalbumukon, és először dolgoztak együtt Rodney Jerkins producerrel. Jerkins azt mondta, reméli, hogy "városi, táncos" hangulatot hoz a projektbe: "Még mindig lesz pop vonzereje, de az ütemek kicsit keményebbek lesznek."

IF YOU WANNA HAVE SOME FUN Ez lesz a második brit kislemez a Forevertől. Harmadik a világ többi részén. A kislemez Európa-szerte, az Egyesült Királyságban, Ausztráliában és Kanadában kiszivárgott klubokba. Sikeres volt a Fülöp-szigeteken, ahol a 20. helyezést érte el. Promóciós kislemezként adták ki. A dal a régi popstílust mutatta be R&B helyett, mint a Forever album többi része.
Az album törlése miatt a kislemez hivatalosan soha nem jelent meg. A dal azonban az MTV-hez került, a Virgin által készített promóciós videóval, melyben különböző videoklipp-összeállításokat mutattak be karrierje során. Geri Halliwellt sem zárták ki az összes klipből, két klip is van abban a promóciós videóban, amiben feltűnt.

WEEKEND LOVE Ez lesz a második kislemez a Spice Girls Forever című albumáról Ázsiában. Mivel azonban az Egyesült Királyságban működő Virgin lemezkiadó, valamint Melanie B, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham és Melanie C úgy döntöttek, hogy lemondanak az album promóciós terveiről, az ázsiai Virgin kiadó kiadta a "Weekend Love" promóciós kislemezt. ".
A dal egyben a Forever utolsó kislemeze is volt Európában, Ausztráliában, Kanadában, az Egyesült Királyságban és Amerikában. A kislemez törlése miatt a Virgin Records/EMI eltávolította az elkészített promóciós kislemezeket. Néhány promóciós kislemez azonban kiszivárgott.
Melanie B egy interjúban megjegyezte, hogy érdekli a Weekend Love remixelése. Azt mondta, gondolt arra, hogy felhívja Lil' Kimet, Trinát vagy Foxy Brownt barátainak, hátha érdekli őket egy remix készítése a lányokkal. Ez a terv azonban a lemondás miatt meghiúsult. A remix egy teljesen új dal lett volna, és a Forever ötödik kislemezeként adták volna ki.

All she sees is hurt and pain, she wants to break the chain
She'll keep pressing everyday, and she'll find her own sweet way

Why is there sunshine and the rain? (Why is there sunshine then the rain)
One day you're here, next you are gone (You're here, you're gone)
No matter what we must go on (I will go on)
Just keep the faith, and let love lead the way
(Keep your faith, I know, i know, i know, oh)

You can be all that and still can be who you are
You gotta know for sure that it isn't make believe

WEEKEND LOVE

La la la la la la la la la la
You thought that this was love, but my plan wasn't that for us
I thought that you would understand, I didn't want you for my full time man
I like the way you made me feel that night, it's something that I can't deny
But I've been hurt before, I can't take it no more, that's why, that's why

Don't try to make me believe that you'd never hurt someone
Now that pain has come back to you
And if the love you had was true, and now you don't know what to do, ah
Everytime I turn around you're standing right there
I really don't want you and I really don't care
I can't think about you no not forever
What we had was good but there's much more better
You try to blame me, I'll put the blame on you
You play the game baby, I can play the game too
You say you want me back it's a simple fact

OXYGEN

There will come a time, I know I'm gonna need
Someone I can trust, someone who'll fight for me, that's the way I love
This is my time to work things out, what I want from this life
There will be someone out there for me, that's the way I love
It doesn't really matter whoever you are - don't matter where you go
Just make sure you're there to answer when love comes around
Don't be surprised (when love knocks at your door (Harmony))

You're the breath that I take, you're the smile on my face
Every time I breathe in, brings me warmth from within
When you touch me I start believing, loving is like oxygen

Even when we're so far apart, I still feel you in my heart
Cos you've given me the greatest gift of all, that's the way I love
The way I love is easy, but could it ever be for me, this situation seems so insane
It's all about feeling without insecurities, that's the way I love
It doesn't really matter who ever you are - don't matter where you go
Just make sure you're there to answer when love comes around
Don't be surprised (when love knocks at your door (Harmony))

You're the breath that I take, you're the smile on my face
Every time I breathe in, brings me warmth from within
When you touch me I start believing, loving is like oxygen (You're in every breath I take)
Imagine a life without love, I'd be so afraid (So afraid)
Cos the love that we share, would be hard to replace
Baby hold me and never leave me, this love is my oxygen (This love is my oxygen)

Open your heart, take a deep breath (Open your heart, take a deep breath)
Stop searching and start believing (Start believing)
(Make sure you're there to answer when love comes around (Harmony))
Don't be surprised (Don't be surprised) when true love knocks at your door

You're the breath that I take, you're the smile on my face (You're the breath that I take)
Every time I breathe in, brings me warmth from within
(Every time I breathe in, brings me warmth from within)
When you touch me I start believing, loving is like oxygen

Imagine a life without love, I'd be so afraid
Cos the love that we share, would be hard to replace

Baby hold me and never leave me, this love is my oxygen
(This love is my oxygen)

GOODBYE

(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Listen little child, there will come a day, when you will be able, able to say
Never mind the pain, all the aggravation
You know there's a better way for you and me to be
Look for the rainbow in every storm, fly like an angel, heaven sent to me

Just a little girl, big imagination, never letting no one (take it away (Harmony))
Went into the world, what a revelation (into the world)
She found there's a better way for you and me to be
Look for the rainbow in every storm, find out for certain
Loves gonna be there for you, you'll always be someone's baby

(The times when we would play about, the way we used to scream and shout
We never dreamt you'd go your own sweet way (Harmony))
Look for the rainbow in every storm, find out for certain
Loves gonna be there for you, you'll always be someone's baby

Goodbye my friend
I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here
It's not the end
Gotta keep it strong, before the pain turns into fear
So glad we made it, time will never, never, ever change it (No, no, no, no)
You know it's time to say goodbye (No, no, no, no)
And don't forget you can rely (No, no, no, no)
You know it's time to say goodbye, and don't forget on me, you can rely (No, no, no, no)
I will help you, help you on your way, I will be with you everyday (No, no, no, no)
I will be with you everyday (No, no, no, no) I will be with you everyday

CHRISTMAS WRAPPING

"Bah!" humbug, no, that's too strong, cause it's my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur, don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush, just because it is the season
The perfect gift for me would be, completions and connections left from
Last year, world tour, aeroplanes and babies
We met some guys but never the time, most of '98 passed along those lines
So deck the halls and trim those trees, raise up the cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath, Christmas with my mates this year

Calendar picture, frozen landscape, chilled this room for twenty-four days
Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with!
Flashback to springtime, saw him again, would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree we were both free, we tried, we said we'd keep in touch
We didn't, of course, 'til the summertime, out to the beach to his boat, could I join him?
No, this time it was me, sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendar's just one page, and, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind, not to do too much about it

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, but I think I'll miss this one this year

Hardly dashing through the snow, cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's, a few cards a few calls
Because it's R-S-V-P, no thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax, turned down all of my invites
Last fall I had a night to myself, same guy called, Halloween party
Waited all night for him to show, this time his car wouldn't go
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late, trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind, doing Christmas right this time

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, but I think I'll miss this one this year

Tesco has provided me, with the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot, oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
So it's on with the boots, back out in the snow, to the only all-night garage
But when to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line that guy I've been chasing all year
"I'm spending this one alone," he said., "need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you, you mean you forgot potatoes too?"
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed, caught on to what was happening
Christmas magic's brought this tale, to a very happy e-ending

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, but I think I'll miss this one this year

A DAY IN YOUR LIFE

Woah oh, remember, woah oh, aand treasure, woah oh
The world can be so cold and such a lonely place, when you're out there on your own
In a crowd it seems you're just another face, and you're feeling so alone
You've got the live for the moment, yeah, before the moment is gone

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching you
And you've gotta love like you've never been hurt
And everytime that someone tries to bring you down
Remember, it's a day in your life (Yeah)
So treasure every day in your life

You've gotta live beyond your limitations, yeah, and keep your dreams alive
Even though you're feeling this frustration, yeah, you've gotta push it all aside
You've got to look to the future, yeah, before the future is here

Oh, when the odds are stacked against you, hold on tight, we'll weather the storm
Oh, when you're feeling under pressure, we'll pull together, like never before

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching you
(You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching you)
And you've gotta love like you've never been hurt (No one can hurt you)
And everytime that someone tries to bring you down (You've gotta dance)
Remember, it's a day in your life, so treasure every day in your life

IF IT'S LOVIN' ON YOUR MIND

I can give you what you want (I got what you want, babe)
I can tell you what you want (Tell your secrets to me)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing

Just because I kept your pager number
Doesn't mean I wanted to go on, don't you know, that is just the way I am boy
Baby I'm not trying to be cool
I just believe that love's a waste of time, don't you know, I'm not tryin' to press you over
Mamma said it I could play it cool, I'll have and coming back for more

I can give you what you want (My dear)
I can tell you what you want (To hear)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing
(I can give you what you want, yeah, I can give you what you want)

Honestly I love the way you send me
But a love ain't playin' on my mind, don't you know, that I do not have the time boy
Daddy said that playin' hard to get, won't have them beggin' me for more

I can give you what you want (My dear) (I got what you want, babe)
I can tell you what you want (To hear) (Tell your secrets to me)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing (I can give you what you want)

I know the things your dreamin' of, a part of me can feel them too
Give me a little time and I will make, all your dreams come true

I can give you what you want (Oh)
I can tell you what you want (To hear)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing (I can give you what you want)

PAIN PROOF

Been around the world a time or two
Forgotten more than you ever knew, yay
We can taste all this, make your hair turn white
Make no apologies, for the good life, yay
Sticks and stones, they'll break our bones, but baby the names don't hurt

We're pain proof (Pain proof)
Nothing you do can touch us, so take a shot, baby, that's all right
We're pain proof (Pain proof)
I guess we must be used to the worst you can do, we're pain proof

I was talking 'bout the way we look
Better face the facts, cause you know you're hurt, yay
Sit in your car, right outside my door
Why the sudden interest, I've never seen you before, no
You can twist our words to suit your twisted views
It ain't our damn choice to always be in the news

It's like a hide and seek in every part of our life, but you'll never get inside

We're pain proof (Pain proof)
Nothing you do can touch us, so take a shot, baby, that's all right
We're pain proof (Pain proof)
I guess we must be used to the worst you can do

We're pain proof (Pain proof)
Nothing you do can touch us, so take a shot, baby, that's all right
(No, alright, it's all right)
We're pain proof (Pain proof)
I guess we must be used to the worst you can do (Yeah hahahaha)

We're pain proof (Pain proof)
Nothing you do can touch us, so take a shot, baby, that's all right
(You can't touch us, no) (That's all right)
We're pain proof (Pain proof)
I guess we must be used to the worst you can do (We must be, oh)

GO GO GO

Cos’ I got another lover, sophiscated brother
And he is treating me right
Now I got another lover, we are stronger
And boy you’re way out of sign

(Go, go, go) If you’re lucky you’ll find another
(So, so, so) Don’t bother me no more
(Cos’ I know, know, know) All about your misbehaving
(Baby go, go, go) Turn around and shut the door

TOO HOT

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Too hot, too hot, too hot, baby
You better run for shelter, better run for —
Cause you’re too hot, too hot, hot like fire
Now you now you can’t do without, my love and desire
Too hot, too hot, too hot, baby
You better run for shelter, better run for —
Cause you’re too hot, too hot, hot like fire
Now you now you can’t do without, my love and desire

Too hot, too hot, too hot, baby
You better run for shelter, better run for —
Cause you’re too hot, too hot, hot like fire
Now you now you can’t do without, my love and desire
Too hot, too hot, too hot, baby
You better run for shelter, better run for — (No, no, no, no, no, no)
Cause you’re too hot, too hot, hot like fire (No, no, no)
Now you now you can’t do without, my love and desire (No, no, no, no, no, no)
Too hot, too hot, too hot, baby (No, no, no)
