Music is the way, let it make you smile. Even in your darkest day, let it make you smile. Music is the way, let it make you smile. Couldn't hurt to try. No they can't take this away, because music never dies. Make sunshine out of rain, this song keeps me alive. No they can't take this away, because music never dies. Couldn't hurt to try.

I already told you, can't help myself from dreaming I already told you, you get inside my head I already told you, announcing my intentions But I'm not afraid to tell you once again I already told you, sometimes it bears repeating I already told you, I may have told your friends I already told you, gonna build my world around you But I will not wait to tell you this again Baby, baby, you know that I already told you girl Just how good you make me feel I already told you girl I already told you, will you please say it with me I already told you,to leave your fears behind I already told you, the truth of your perfection baby And I hope these words ring true for you this time I already told you, my mind can't keep from racing I already told you, I want the world to know I already told you, if I get my arms around you baby I'm gonna love you right and never let you go

Not sure how long ago, but you couldn't remember my name We were broke down in Baltimore, starry-eyed and hungry for fame We cried, didn't we baby It was so much and so fast I just wanted to hold on to it You took my head in your hands, and you said It feels good to feel good, oh yeah Just in case you're wondering I only wanted to feel good all the time And now you've left me here Picked up where we left off You never mellowed with age We had to throw back a drink or three In the little room on the side of the stage Lucky devils, weren't we honey Remind me to knock on wood Always landed on our feet babe It's a fact I never understood, never understood It feels good to feel good Just in case you're wondering I only wanted to feel good all the time And now you've left me here
