Why didn't she tell me She didn't say a word You were the first to say That we were not ok You were the first to lie When we were not alright This was my first love She was the first to go And when she left me for you

Who says you can't go home? It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright Who says you can't go back? There's only one place left I wanna go There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy born a rolling

(Yeah, yeah, yeah do the harlem shuffle) You move it to the left Yeah, and you go for yourself You move it to the right Yeah, if it takes all night Now take it kinda slow With a whole lot of soul Don't move it too fast You make it last

It's not the same without your love Every night and every day, girl It's late at night, nothin's feelin' right Since you've gone away I think I know why you left this time, But it's still hard to say I nearly lost it, when he came around you Now I'm

You left my side tonight Without you I'm no one, I'm nothing at all I could not go on And I, I just don't feel right But I, I can't let you out of sight, What if I walked without you What if I ran without you What if I stand without you What if I lived

Walk in the rave, smile on my face Drink in my cup, hand in my jeans Man talk tough, man look up, down, left, right Straight to a bang in the teeth Man still talk tough, man saw man in the flesh Now man's tryna talk to my Gs Nah, none of that, none, .45

If you want my love, you better march to the beat woah Fight for my love, you better stand up for me woah I'm a one woman army Left, right, left, right, get it right, yeah oh If you want my love, well that's how it's gotta go woah ooh Only a soldier can

What are we supposed to do After all that we've been through When everything that felt so right is wrong Now that the love is gone? There is nothing left to prove No use to deny this simple truth Can't find the reason to keep holding on Now that the love

All are gone, all but one No contest, nowhere to run No more left, only one This is it, this is the countdown to extinction Endangered species, caged in fright Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight The stage is set, now pay the price And ego boost,

We'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow, Our journey on towards a brighter day, Silent tears we left behind, still so far away, Across the endless sands, Through the fields of our despair, Dream for all eternity, we stand, yeah, Rise above the universe
