Adam David Lallana (born 10 May 1988) is an English footballer who currently plays as an attacking midfielder for Championship club Southampton. Born in St Albans, Lallana began his career with Southampton as a youth player in 2000. He signed professional terms in 2006, and has remained with the club since.
Lallana was born in St Albans but moved to the Iford area of Bournemouth when he was five years old.
Lallana was a member of the Bournemouth Centre of Excellence, where his rich potential was eventually spotted by a talent scout from Southampton, with Lallana snapped up by the then-Premier League club, joining the Saints Academy as a 12-year old in 2000. Southampton paid £3,000 compensation to Bournemouth with further payments of £5,000 and £10,000 when he signed scholarship and professional contracts respectively. The contract with Southampton provides for Bournemouth to receive 25% of any transfer fee, in addition to the payments already made.
Lallana was involved in Southampton's FA Youth Cup squads of 2004–05 and 2005–06, when they reached the final and semi-final respectively.
I miss you already ain't been that long
I feel so neglected when you don't call
When you're not around I don't feel safe
It's all wrong, I'm so afraid
[Chorus:]
I wanna be wanted
Like I want you right now
I need to be needed
I wish you could see somehow
By your love I'm haunted
Haunted
It scares me to feel this way I do
I'm over my head over you
The moon's so full I feel its light
Without you nothing's right
[Chorus:]
I wanna be wanted
Like I want you right now
I need to be needed
I wish you could see somehow
By your love I'm haunted
Haunted
In my heart there's an empty place
In the dark I still see your face
In my dreams night and day
[Chorus:]
I wanna be wanted
Like I want you somehow
I need to be needed
I wish you could see somehow
By your love I'm haunted
Even now
I find myself
Thinking about what we had
All this time
I wonder why
Our good love went bad
I fell so empty inside
It's like a part of me died
And there's no place left to hide
From this loneliness tonight
Running in circles
Around and around
(I said) I'm running in circles
And I can't get you out of my mind
You used to be
Always there for me
In so many ways
My memories
Are black and white
And sometimes shades of gray
I'm trying so hard to find
What it is I left behind
And maybe I'll know in time
Why my heart can't let you go
Where does it end
'Cause I don't know where to begin
Again and again
We had something...
This love is faded
Has left me worn out and jaded
And nothing is sacred
In this life
In this world of mine
This road has ended
And I never comprehended
That you would have pretended
Not to feel anything at all
We had something
Don't act like it was nothing
I was crazy
To think I was your baby
All you gave me
Is this heart that's so empty
We had something
Don't act like it was nothing
Cause we had something
Do you remember
How we would talk forever
And stare at each other
"Til the sun suddenly slipped away
This shoebox of letters
And pictures of us together
Are all torn and weathered
Tucked away but it's all that I have
You can try
But no matter what you say
It's your pride
I never believed in the word lonely
Even when I found myself all alone
I never needed someone else to want me
To make me feel wanted
"Cause deep inside I've always known
Who I am
All I am is
True to me
Faithfully
In a world where lies can let you down
I pick myself up off the ground
'Cause I'm true to me
Honestly
I've wrestled with conformity
And all that I can be is true to me
I always believed what people told me
Everyone tells you what you want to hear
I always thought that someone else would save me
But you can only save yourself
And nothing's ever been so clear
Like an open road
I call my own
And it feels like
The sun is here
The sky is clear
And there's nothing but the smell of the rain
I should've seen it coming
I should've run for the hills
Now I'm left here with nothing
And baby it kills
Your words came so easy
That you'd never leave me
Now here I am left all alone
You don't know a thing
About loving someone
It's too late baby
The damage is done
There's one thing you know in this world
You know, you know, you know
How to hurt a girl
When the rain stopped fallin'
You called me out of the blue
Acting like nothing's happened
Oh that's just like you
You wondered if we could
Thought that we should
Give this thing one more try
Now, now I can see
Sometimes I wish that you could see
The way you look at me
If you only saw things through my eyes
Would you finally understand
Or just like grains of sand
Would it slip right through our hands
Time will keep moving on and on
I don't wanna lose you
But maybe I might have to
It's all I really can do
To save myself
Is this what it's come to
Deep inside we both knew
The day would come I'd have to
Save myself
Love that lifts you up I've found
Can also wear you down
If you could only hear my prayer
I tried to fly without my wings
But there's so many things
That were left up in the air
Time will keep moving on and on
You reach a point in life
You have to decide
Between what you want
It's a long lonely road
Where do I go
Looking for someplace that feels like home
Been searchin' so long
Where did I go wrong
Maybe the answer's somewhere beyond
The stars in the sky
And who knows why
We all fall down
Life's taking it's toll
It's all out of control
Yeah we all fall down
It's my dignity that's saving me tonight
As I walk through this maze
Is this just a phase
Will all my tomorrows be this way
The night is so black
In front and in back
Sometimes it's so dark and you don't know where you're at
Like a star way up high
Droppin' out of the sky
Lift me up
So I can see
Outside of me
And what could be
You wake up one day and everything changes
You cross a line and there's no turning back
You're caught between the love and the danger
It's hard to leave a heart so open up to that
You wish...Every time a star falls from the sky
You wish...That he'd feel the way you feel inside
You hope and you pray, keep it all locked away
As you see yourself lost in his kiss...You wish
You think you know just how to read him
And then he throws you right off track
And all you know is how much you need him
Time will tell you where his heart is really at
You wish...Every time a star falls from the sky
You wish...That he'd feel the way you feel inside
You hope and you pray, keep it all locked away
As you see yourself lost in his kiss...You wish
Late at night
You wonder what he's thinking of
It's killing you
And all that's true
Is you're falling deeper in love
You wish...Everytime a star falls from the sky
You wish...That he'd feel the way you feel inside
You hope and you pray, keep it all locked away
As you see yourself lost in his kiss...You wish
Everytime a star falls from the sky
You wish...That he'd feel the way you feel inside
You hope and you pray, keep it all locked away
All my
Friends are here
This is
The party of the year
I'm not
Ever coming down
Smiling
Faces all around
Everybody
Shake whatcha got
Ready or not
No matter what
Do a little groove thing
Take that
Clock off of the wall
Time Square's
About to drop the ball
Come on
Jump up, scream out loud
Make some
Noise in this crowd
All right
All night
Let's party like there's no tomorrow
All right
All night
You walked in
When the rest of the world
Walked out
We've always been
There for each other
In times of doubt
I don't have to say it
But I'll say it anyways
Life is good
When you've got a friend
Who makes you smile
Life is good
When you've got friends like mine
Just hangin' out
Talkin' about everything
Or nothing at all
Laughing out loud
Reliving each memory
We'd recall
I couldn't be more grateful
You're always there for me
It's never been so easy
To open up so freely
But you bring it out of me
We are kindred spirits
And in my voice you'll hear it
Every time you feel you can't find a reason
Every time you don't know what to believe in
Every time you feel like you're too far gone
All you gotta do is turn your radio on
If you wanna rock
If you wanna roll
Then you gotta let yourself
Let yourself
Let yourself let it go
Any time it feels like you might be slippin'
Any time it feels like everyone's trippin'
Any time you feel like you're down on your luck
All you gotta do is turn your radio up
Radio come and save me tonight
Radio come and save me tonight
Radio come and save me tonight
You want a girl who does what's right
The kind that's always there beside you
Someone who's quiet and polite
Like staying home on every friday night
Well all that sounds so cute and sweet
But that doesn't do a thing for me
I'm really not that boring
I'm headstrong and annoying
So I don't see me fitting in your world
I'm noisy and I'm messy
'cause you would never get me
Hey I think you're really hot
But I'm not your girl
You're into good and that's too bad
So save your flowers and your poetry
You take a hint, I'll take a cab
You go to bed, I'll find a party
Typical is what you're after
Not some beautiful disaster
I'm really not that boring
I'm headstrong and annoying
So I don't see me fitting in your world
I'm noisy and I'm messy
'cause you would never get me
Hey I think you're really hot
But I'm not your
Girl that you've been looking for
Boy I'm not the girl next door
Be happy that I'm letting you off easy
Yeah
Oh yeah
I'm really not that boring
I'm headstrong and annoying
So I don't see me fitting in your world
I'm noisy and I'm messy
'cause you would never get me
Hey I think you're really hot
But I'm not your girl
(I'm not your girl)
I'm not your girl
(I'm not your girl)
I'm not your girl
(I'm not your girl)
I'm not your girl
(I'm not your girl)
(I'm not your girl)
No no no
I'm not
(I'm not your girl)
Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil
If she doesn't scare you no
evil thing will
To see her is to take a
sudden chill
Cruella, Cruella
The curl in her lips
The ice in her stair
The inacent children better be ware
She's like a spider waiting
for the kill
Look out for
Cruella De Vil
At first you think Cruells
is a devil
But after time has worn
away the shock
You come to
realize you've
seen her kind of eyes
Watching you from
underneath a rock
This vampire bat, this
inhuman beast
She ought to be locked up
and never released
The world was such a
wholesome place until
Cruella, Cruella De Vil
At first you think Cruells
is a devil
But after time has worn
away the shock
You come to
realize you've
seen her kind of eyes
Watching you from
underneath a rock
Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil
If she doesn't scare you no
evil thing will
To see her is to take a
sudden chill
Cruella, Cruella
The curl in her lips
The ice in her stair
The inacent children better be ware
She's like a spider waiting
for the kill
Look out for
Saw a movie it was kind of bad
Who kept talking behind my back
Got a burger and I only ate half
It was one of those days you just gotta laugh
I was walking out when you walked in
With your James Dean glasses and your Elvis pin
I smiled at you and you smiled right back
It was either love at first sight or a heart attack
Can't stop
Thinking what I'm thinking
Can't stop
Feeling what I'm feeling
Can't stop
Singing what I'm singing
Can't stop
Wanting to be with you
If I said something to him would he turn me down
Or would he be walking next to me right now
I made up my mind if I saw him again
I wouldn't walk away like I did back then
Over my shoulder
I can see him
He's calling out to me
As he walks over
My heart is beating
And I know it's meant to be
Saw a movie it was really great
Got a burger finished of my plate
The pin you were wearing you put in my hand
So theres this girl i want her badly
She has the best looking face ive ever
seen. i wonder if she thinks im cute i
wonder if she even knows im here. If not
then i need to talk to her cause shes so cute
i dont want to let this one pass i dont even want
to let her leave my site. oh look at her. But theres
only one bad thing...(sigh)
(chorus)
She...is a dirty lesbian
Been around the block a few times
Every girl i talk to says ;; Ive been
with her a few months back. But. this girl
Hey, we're still the best of friends
But the drama never ends
With everybody in our business
Hey, how much you want to bet
Their talking about us know
There's no telling what they'll say next
I heard we're called the "party crowd"
We flirt to much and talk to loud
They don't even know us
Where you think they get the stuff?
I heard they hate the way we dress
We try to hard,
We're such a mess
They must be really desperate
If this is what they call fun
Did you hear about us?
So, don't matter anyway
Say what they wanna say
They'll never figure us out
We're gonna do, what we wanna do
Show them a thing or two
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's go out and cause a scene
Turn some heads on every street
Crash a bunch of parties
Anything to start them off
With all the lights in our new cars
Headline news like movie stars
Let's give them what they want, yeah
Until they can't get enough
Did you hear about us?
Did you hear about us?
I heard we're called the "party-crowd"
We flirt to much and talk to loud
They don't even know us
Where you think they get the stuff?
Let's go out and cause a scene
Make all the tabloid magazines
Crash a bunch of parties
Anything to start them off
With all the lights in our new cars
Headline news like movie stars
Got their full attention
Still they can't get enough
Did you hear about us?
Did you hear about us?
Late night cruisin', rollin', groovin'
Can't get there quick enough
But I've got you in my sight
In the fast lane, I'm crazy, insane
Wanna get real high on life
With you here by my side
[Chorus:]
We're getting faster than the speed of light
Soon you'll be seeing it through my eyes
We're passing all the world that's standing still
Ooh, we're goin' on a joyride
No speed limit in this moment
Got a few things on my mind
That I'd like to share with you
(See) things look clearer
From a rear view mirror
Yesterday is in the dust
We've got some travelin' to do
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Everything we ever dreamed
Down this long and winding road
Could soon be ours
Who cares about the destination
Heaven only knows
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, faster than the speed of light
I feel so alive and on the edge
Chasing all these dreams might seem illogical
I'm about to fly steppin' off the ledge
One, two, three, four!
It was a night oo what a night
It was it really was Such a Night
The moon was bright oh how so bright
It was it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Oo when he kissed me
I had to fall in love
Oh it was a kiss oo what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Oh how he could kiss oh what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of his lips
Sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire
But I'd gave my heart to him
in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember
Oh, what a night oo what a night
It was it really was Such a Night
Came the dawn and my heart and his love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
Oo such a kiss, Such a Night
It was a night oo what a night
It was it really was Such a Night
Came the dawn and my heart and his love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
How well I remember, I'll always remember
That night oo what a night
It was it really was Such a Night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
But I'd gave my heart to her
in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember
Oh that night oo what a night
It was it really was Such a Night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
Well he's gone, gone, gone
Yes he's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn
And my love was gone
But before that dawn
Yes before that dawn and before that dawn
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Will you be there for me,
in the morning ?
Will you still care for me,
when the morning comes ?
when the morning comes ?
when the morning comes ?
Will you be there for me,
in the morning ?
Will you still care for me,
Verse I:
I don’t know where my head went to
Cause all it does now is think of you
We got story that’s still untold
Let’s get together till we grow old
People tell me we’ve got time
But they cant feel you on my mind
Why put off our tomorrow when we can start today
Chorus:
Come on lets go, for a ride, Lets get crazy
I’ve been thinking there is something we should do
Cause I don’t think I can wait another day
To hear those small town church bells sound
Lets hurry up and settle down
Verse II:
Things like this you cant rush into
But I just got your named tattooed
On a heart of gold etched in stone
Wear it on my neck so I’m not alone
I cant wait to feed you cake
Watch em’ fight for your bouquet
Carry you in your pure white
Dress I’m praying you’ll say yes
Bridge:
We’re running down that isle
Your dad winks at me and smiles
Kiss you and puts you in my hands
My heart starts to race
Tears are falling down your face
There’s no need to ask, You know I do
Verse III:
Hawaiian island honeymoon
Subconcious mind
Love lifted me
You need to find
The real girl in me
Unconcious mind
Love [?]hurt[?] me
You need to find
The real girl in me
Here I am
The one you've been waiting for
Here I am
The one you've been looking for
Here I am
The one you've been waiting for
Here I am
The one you've been looking for
Here I am
Here I am
The one you've been looking for
Here I am
