Would you help understand? Are you looking down upon me? Are you proud of who I am? There's nothing I wouldn't do To have just one more chance To look into your eyes And see you looking back Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you For everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself, ohh If I had just one more day I would tell you how much that I've missed you Since you've been away Ooh, it's dangerous It's so out of line To try and turn back time I'm sorry for blaming you For everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself by hurting you MERCY ON ME 4.33 Lord have mercy on my soul For I have walked the sinful road That I'm down on my knees Lord have mercy on me, please Ohh yeah Jesus, I must confess That in all my loneliness I've forsaken and I've sinned Leaving fragments of a man so broken I could tell you what I've done Or should I tell you where I went wrong? Well the more that I start to play My deceitful, evil ways Keep on growing stronger by the day Oh lord have mercy on my soul For I have walked a sinful road So I'm gonna get down on my knees Beg forgiveness to help set me free Lord have mercy on me, please Mother Mary full of grace In my weakness, I've lost faith I've been careless, and I have been warned And the devil inside me is torn God bless the men that I have scorned Oh lord have mercy on my soul For I have walked the sinful road So I'm gonna get down on my knees Beg forgiveness to help set me free Lord have mercy on me, please Woah, woaa yeah yeah Woa yeah yeah oh oh Oh-oh yeah yeah yeah, ohh So don't let me fool around no more Send your angels down to guide me through that door Well I've gone and confessed my regrets And I pray I'm not held in contempt I'm so lost, and I need you to help me repent Oh lord have mercy on my soul Oh I'm begging, I'm pleeding, I'm needing I want you to know So I'm down upon my knees Oh lord, I need forgiveness I need forgiveness from you SAVE ME FROM MYSELF 3.13 It's not so easy loving me It gets so complicated All the things you gotta be Everything's changing But you're the truth I'm amazed by all your patience Everything I put you through And when I'm about to fall Somehow you're always waiting with Your open arms to catch me You're gonna save me from myself From myself, yes You're gonna save me from myself My love is tainted by your touch Well some guys have shown me aces But you've got that royal flush I know it's crazy everyday Well tomorrow maybe shaky But you never turn away Don't ask me why I'm crying 'Cause when I start to crumble You know how to keep me smiling You always save me from myself From myself, myself You're gonna save me from myself I know it's hard, it's hard But you've broken all my walls You've been my strength, so strong And don't ask me why I love you It's obvious you tenderness Is what I need to make me A better woman to myself To myself, myself You're gonna save me from myself THE RIGHT MAN 3.51 So many years have gone by Always strong, tried not to cry Never felt like I needed any man To comfort me in life But I'm all made up today A veil upon my face But no father stands beside me To give his bride away Well I'm standing in the chapel Wearing my white dress I have waited for this moment With tears of happiness Here I leave behind my past By taking the chance I've finally found the right man Thoughts racing fast through my mind As I'm gazing down the aisle That my future will mend the memories Torn between father and child My emotions overload 'Cause there is no hand to hold There's no shoulder here to lean on I'm walking all on my own Here I go Now I'm standing at four corners To have and to hold Now my love, you stand beside me To walk life's winding road And I owe it all to you For taking the chance You've shown me there's a right man 'Cause I never knew a right man Well I'm standing in the chapel Ready to confess That I've waited for this moment With tears of happiness Now I leave behind my past By taking the chance Ohh Well I'm standing at four corners To have and to hold Now my love, you stand beside me To walk life's winding road And I owe it all to you For taking the chance And one day my little girl Will reach out her hand She'll know I found the right man Edited August 4, 200618 yr by Blitz

May 3, 200619 yr Author 'amazon.com' has a Christina CD untitled and on import set for release on June 13th... the release date totally makes sense as the week before she is performing at MTV Movie Awards!! :cheer: not gonna get TOO excited just yet tho!! ;)
May 4, 200619 yr Author :o That's REALLY close. :o i know :o well we should be gettin' the video VERY son, how long is a video normally in post-production for!? cos this is the last day of filming... is it like one or to weeks!? :unsure:

May 14, 200619 yr Author UPDATED with possible lyrics from 'Still Dirrty' and the official stament from her website!!
May 14, 200619 yr talking of the candy man, do you think it's about, THE candy man? Erm no a song about the fictional horror character seems slighty far fetched Joshy. :P
May 15, 200619 yr Author i hope its good! i think it will be something very special... i think it will give her even MORE credibility as an artist and will more than likely be critically acclaimed!! i think cause it has two sides to it she cant really go wrong, plus its not a rushed job... over 18 months is alot of work!!
May 15, 200619 yr Author talking of the candy man, do you think it's about, THE candy man? :lol: haha, love it!! but im thinking its about a man (ie: jordy) who gives her the goods AKA candy!! :D
May 15, 200619 yr Author heres a quote from the recent orange interview: Christina says the album is a BIG record, very fun and happy and has 2 differents worlds into it. Linda has about 9 tracks on it (including interludes), DJ Premier has about 6 tracks and the album has 23 tracks in all. She also says they are discussing the promotion of the record and before she goes to the big arena tours, with all props and all, she is going to do a mini-tour to promote the CD. The concept of this mini-tour is just the band and a mic on small lounges and intimate venues, just to sing on an small intimate places on a few selected places through the US. The ideia is to go "back to basics" with everything related to the record: image, songs, lyrics and this mini-tour. cant wait for the mini tour!! :wub:

May 15, 200619 yr Erm no a song about the fictional horror character seems slighty far fetched Joshy. :P It could happen :P and the last to tracks (the ones waiting to be confirmed) might end up as bonus tracks
