All Star
Length: 3:20
Release: 1999
Opening Lyrics:
I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an “L” on her forehead
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?
You’ll never know if you don’t go
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow
I’m A Believer
Length: 3:05
Release: 2001
Opening Lyrics:
Meant for someone else, but not for me
Love was out to get me
That’s the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I’m in love, I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave her if I tried
The more I gave, the less I got, oh yeah
What’s the use in tryin’
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine, I got rain
Walkin On The Sun
Length: 3:27
Release: 1997
Opening Lyrics:
And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
Hey, I know it’s just a song but it’s spice for the recipe
It’s just like any fad, it retracts before impact
And just like fashion it’s a passion for the with it and hip
If you got the goods, they’ll come
And buy it just to stay in the clique
Allow if you’re still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer’s shunned, you might as well be walkin’ on the sun
Why Can’t We Be Friends
Length: 4:47
Release: 1997
Opening Lyrics:
Can’t Get Enough Of You Baby
Length: 2:30
Release: 1998
Opening Lyrics:
I can’t get enough of you baby
I can’t get enough of you baby
Yes it’s true
Baby yes it’s true
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishin that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
It feels so nice I want your arms to wrap around me twice
I can’t get enough of you baby
I can’t get enough of you baby
Right or Wrong
Baby Right or Wrong
When you had to go I hated the thought
I always wish the night was twice as long
My heart crys out more baby
