Karina, if I told you what I wanted to
I wonder if you would've stuck around
Well, I could take you walking down to Hoxton Square
With the lazy afternoon still kickin' around
Karina, if I left it where I wanted to
Yeah, I wonder if you'd sit around and smile
When you're dreamin' of America, your father's ghost
Breaks the door with all his chains just rattlin' around
'Cause if it were easy
You wouldn't need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus, "won't you let Karina free?"
Karina, all this silence, it's so deafening
And all the leaves have fallen from the trees
I could hold your cigarette on Oxford Street
But I'm back here, where your lover wants me to be
And Karina, there's this patience in the things we say
It's the harboring of all the things we do
Yeah, and everytime I tell myself there’s nothing left
May I always say your name and think of you
'Cause if it were easy
You wouldn't need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus, "won’t you let Karina free?"
I'd beg to Jesus, "won’t you let Karina free?"
Karina, if I told you what I wanted to
I wonder if you would've stuck around
Yeah, I could take you walking down to Hoxton Square
With the lazy afternoon still kickin' around
And Karina, if I left it where I wanted to
I wonder if you'd sit around and smile
When you're dreamin' of America, your father's ghost
Breaks the door when all his chains just rattle around
'Cause if it were easy
You wouldn't need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free?"
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free?"
Tengo calor
En mi auto bajo el sol
Empiezo a sudar
Y no hay ventilador
Tengo una sed...
No hay nada que beber
Se empieza a pegar
la ropa en mi piel
Qué tal si tal vez
Pudiera ya estar
Bajo el mar
Tomando hoy el té
Tengo aquí
En mi cabeza ya
Mi otro yo
A punto de estallar
Mi radio y yo
Empezamos a cantar
Para calmar
La desesperación
Qué tal si tal vez
Pudiera ya estar
Bajo el mar
Tomando hoy el té
CORO
Loco tú, loca yo
Todos locos aquí están
Loco tú, loca yo
En este tráfico infernal
Loco tú, loca yo
Todos locos aquí están
Loco tú, loca yo
En este tráfico infernal
Humo aquí
Acá y por allá
Rodeada estoy
De latas en erupción
Mi radio y yo
Empezamos a cantar
Para calmar
La desesperación
Qué tal si tal vez
Pudiera ya estar
Bajo el mar
Tomando hoy el té
CORO
Loco tú, loca yo
Todos locos aquí están
Loco tú, loca yo
En este tráfico infernal
Loco tú, loca yo
Todos locos aquí están
Loco tú, loca yo
En este tráfico infernal

Aquí estoy, otra vez
Una noche más soñando sola
Aquí estoy, en mi cama
Tratando de olvidar lo que pasó
Aquí estoy, como ayer
Recostada así sobre mis lágrimas
Aquí estoy, sin sentir nada
Al menos eso piensas tú
TAmbién estás pensando que no soy capaz de amar
Te equivocas, te equivocas
Es sólo que no sabes ver un poco más allá
De un corazón, qué desilusión
CORO
Desde mi ventana
Te veo cuando pasas con la que tú crees que amas
Desde mi ventana
Recuerdo todavía cuando con mis labios
Jugabas y te divertías
Y yo te creía
Y tú me mentías
Ya no más, para qué llorar
Si no vale la pena, y mucho menos por ti
Ya no más, desde hoy cambiaré
No me importa lo que pienses de mi
Si acaso piensas que no soy capaz de amar
Qué me importa, qué me importa
solo se que nucas podras entender
A mi corazón, qué desilusión
CORO
Desde mi ventana
Te veo cuando pasas con la que tú crees que amas
Desde mi ventana
Recuerdo todavía cuando con mis labios
Jugabas y te divertías
Y yo te creía desde mi ventana
Desde mi ventana
Te veo cuando pasas con la que tú crees que amas
Desde mi ventana
Recuerdo todavía cuando con mis labios
Jugabas y te divertías
Y yo te creía desde mi ventana
Desde mi ventana... Ah... Ah...
Desde mi ventana
Desde mi ventana... Ah... Ah... Ah...
Yo te amo, uh...
Siento un vació entre tú y yo,
Entiende nunca fuiste mi amor,
Cuantas mentiras tengo que inventar,
Para alejarme de una vez de ti.
Siento una pena que quisiera gritar,
A veces se ama a quien no te puede amar,
Quise quererte engañándome,
Te fui quemando sin pensar.
No, no me pidas que, que lo intente,
Otra vez, de una vez, otra vez
No, no me pidas que vuelva fingirlo
Otra vez, de una vez, otra vez
Se como duele comprender,
Como duele sonreír, el amor es algo así,
Yo lo se, yo lo viví
Te duele hasta morir
Y nada puedes hacer
Siento que caes en la soledad
Quisiera darte felicidad,
Como besarte si no hay amor,
Aquí, dentro de mi corazón.
No, no me pidas que, que lo intente,
Otra vez, de una vez, otra vez
No, no me pidas que vuelva fingirlo
Otra vez, de una vez, otra vez
Se como duele comprender,
Como duele sonreír, el amor es algo así,
Yo lose, yo lo viví
Te duele hasta morir
Y nada puedes hacer
Se como duele comprender,
Como duele sonreír, el amor es algo así,
Yo lose, yo lo viví
Te duele hasta morir
Y nada puedes hacer
Yo se como duele,
Cuando se ama
A quien no se debe
Yo se como duele,
Cuando se ama
A quien no se debe
I guess the stars were aligned when we met up
'Cause baby I, I see the stars in your eyes anytime we touch
Sometimes I just wanna go run away and hide
But every time I do you always find a way to come and change my mind
You're my hero
I feel like a winner when you're beside me
It ain't a thing that I can't be
I feel like a winner, you're there to guide me
Like the wind beneath my wings
I feel like a winner, every time I plan on giving it up
You grab my hand and look inside of me
To make me feel like a winner
Feel like a winner
There were others that I loved in the past
Now I know it didn't last because we were destined for one another
And I don't even have to ask if you got my back
'Cause I know the answer to that
You got me covered
Anybody else is just a memory from long ago
And I found love with you here by my side
You're my hero
I feel like a winner when you're beside me
It ain't a thing that I can't be
I feel like a winner, you're there to guide me
Like the wind beneath my wings
I feel like a winner, every time I plan on giving it up
You grab my hand and look inside of me
To make me feel like a winner
Feel like a winner
When I'm with you
I feel like I can do anything
I feel like I can fly a plane, race a train, travel through the galaxies
And make the stars spell out your name
I feel like I can climb the highest mountain and reach up into the sky
Boy with you here I can do anything
I would give it all up just to feel your touch
You're the only one I need
It's like you got me star struck
Baby boy I'm part of, you're the other part of me
I feel like a winner when you're beside me
It ain't a thing that I can't be
I feel like a winner, you're there to guide me
Like the wind beneath my wings
I feel like a winner, every time I plan on giving it up
You grab my hand and look inside of me
To make me feel like a winner
Feel like a winner
I feel like a winner when you're beside me
It ain't a thing that I can't be
I feel like a winner, you're there to guide me
Like the wind beneath my wings
I feel like a winner, every time I plan on giving it up
You grab my hand and look inside of me
To make me feel like a winner
My heart, he takes
He'll always be my baby
We may bend, won't break
But we got no one else to take
He's the sun when my day is low
I'm his picture in front, front row
His love is the center of my attention, oh, oh
See, I don't know what he'd do for me
That guy is my everything
We argue, we fight
Then we make up by the end of the night
Don't even speak it, speak it
We know what we got
And I love him, he loves me
And this is how love should be
I'm down for the love that he got, that he got
And he stay down for the love that we got, that we got
I love him, he loves me
And this is how love should be
I'm down for the love that he got, that he got
And he stay down for the love that we got, that we got
He's embedded in my space
Every time he speaks he blows me away
Don't care what people say
As long as he's in the same place where I lay
See, I'll be his echo
I'm his princess, he's my general
And no matter what you think about love
Time won't outlast us
See, I don't know what he do for me
And I'm tellin' you he's my everything
We argue, we fight
Then we make up by the end of the night
Y'all don't know what we got in our love
And I love him, he loves me
And this is how love should be
I'm down for the love that he got, that he got
And he stay down for the love that we got, that we got
I love him, he loves me
And this is how love should be
I'm down for the love that he got, that he got
And he stay down for the love that we got, that we got
The miles I'd walk for him are infinite
I'll run circles around the world, hey
And everyday I'm beside him, feels heaven sent
And all else is irrelevant
So keep on exuding your love on to me
I love him, he loves me
And this is how love should be
I'm down for the love that he got, that he got
And he stay down for the love that we got, that we got
I love him, he loves me
And this is how love should be
I'm down for the love that he got, that he got
And he stay down for the love that we got, that we got
I love him, he loves me
And this is how love should be
I'm down for the love that he got, that he got
A quién tratas de engañar amor, por favor
ya sé que este es el final, muy bien.
A quién le importa donde ir esta vez
total aquí o allá será igual el adiós, el adiós.
Perdóname si al escucharte dirigiré a otra parte la mirada
háblame sin tantas vueltas no utilices nuestras fallas como excusas.
A quién crees tú que dolerá este fin
a ti que alguien más te espera ya después de mi.
A quién le contarás que yo lloré por ti
que ahora solo quieres mi amistad.
Perdóname me es tan difícil, no me pidas que te entienda no, no puedo
discúlpame pero no es tan fácil
perderlo todo cuando la vida apenas empieza.
A quién crees tú...
I know That You've Been Calling Me,
And I'm happy that we met.
Don't think that I'm not interested.
I'm just playing hard to get
[Bridge:]
So much about this crazy game they call love
That I'm trying to understand,
So could you be my best friend,
Before you call yourself my man
[Hook:]
Why can't I love you in slow motion,
Take my time,
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't I?
[Verse 2:]
You seem to know just what you want
And I like your confidence
Some things a girl should never rush
Cause If you do you hurt yourself
[Bridge:]
So much about this crazy game they call love
I'm still trying to understand,
So would you be my best friend,
Before you call yourself my man
[Hook:]
Why can't I love you in slow motion,
Take my time,
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't I
[Breakdown:]
I'm too young for tears in the night
And it's to soon for this to be right
Don't wanna mess with your pride
The questions not when but why
[Hook:]
Why can't I love you in slow motion,
Take my time,
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
I Wanna love you in slow motion
You're there for me, through all of my ups and downs
And what I feel you always seem to know
You find the words when I need comforting
And dry my eyes, that's why I love you so
More than a friend you're my first love
I can always depend on my first love
I feel like I have known you all my life
I can't explain how close we are
When something's wrong, you know how to make it right
That's why you stay close to my heart
More than a friend you're my first love
I can always depend on my first love
The first thought in my mind, the chill up my spine
The melody in my heart, you are my very first love
You're the sweet lullaby, my first kiss goodnight
The beat in my heart, music, my very first love
More than a friend you're my first love
I can always depend on my first love
With you in my life I'm not lonely at all
And if there were tears you'd catch them all
'Cause you know my pain and you know my joy
There's no secrets between us only pretty piano chords
The first thought in my mind, the chill up my spine
The melody in my heart, music, my very first love
You're the sweet lullaby, my first kiss goodnight
The beat in my heart, music, my very first love
I sing, I sing because I'm happy
The music sets me free
You're the sweet lullaby, my first kiss goodnight
Now we've been talking for a while
And you got me trying to figure out
Boy I don't know what to say to you
But you got me feeling some kind of way for you
And all I know is when were together
No one can make me feel the way you do baby
I wish each moment could last forever
It's hard to explain the way I feel for you
I just can't find the words
You got me losing myself in what I'm trying to say
And it's so hard to fight it can't help but feeling this way
And every time that I'm near you it's like my heart gets weak
Feels like I'm losing my breath making it hard to speak
I just can't find the words
Now I know I come of kinda shy
But it's hard to say what's on my mind
The chemistry we have it hard to find
But to find the right words it's going to take sometime
And all I know is when were together
No one can make me feel the way you do baby
I wish each moment could last forever
It's hard to explain the way I feel for you
I just can't find the words
You got me losing myself in what I'm trying to say
And it's so hard to fight it can't help but feeling this way
And every time that I'm near you it's like my heart gets weak
Feels like I'm losing my breath making it hard to speak
I just can't find the words
You got me tripping over words you got me stuttering
And like a bad dream I'm calling out but you don't hear me speak
And constantly I find myself in this predicament
So let me show (show you)
Baby (baby)
Cause actions speaks louder than words
Oh ah oh ah ohhhh ohhh oh ah oh ah (one time)
Oh ah oh ah ohhhh ohhh oh ah oh ah (two times)
Oh ah oh ah ohhhh ohhh oh ah oh ah (three times, Karina)
You got me losing myself in what I'm trying to say
And it's so hard to fight it can't help but feeling this way
And every time that I'm near you it's like my heart gets weak
Feels like I'm losing my breath making it hard to speak

Ain't no daddies where I'm from,
It's just mad mothers.
And eyes that still seem
That can't look past color.
Why am I disrespected by
Someone I should call brother?
And why girls feelin' pretty
And constantly hating each other?
Bad air in my lungs,
Man I can't breathe.
My eyes burnin' from all the dirt and the debris.
And it's third degree.
Emotionless on the scene.
It's like a disease
The way y'all killin' me.
[CHORUS]
I'm 16 and I shouldn't have to feel like this.
I'm 16, every young boy out there wanna kiss.
I'm 16, and me and my mama goin' through it.
16 on the block
16 on the block
16, At war [6x]
16 on the block
16 on the block
Around here cool is another word for fool.
If he smoke then she smoke,
I gotta smoke too.
Now what would I do if I didn't have a clue?
I'm 16 y.o.
Asking God oh why, oh
If my clothes ain't tight,
Then he ain't gone like me.
Eyes on the prize,
So the next girl dress just like me.
I'm so full of promise,
But why promise if I'ma just be rewarded
By bad actions.
To him I'm just a transaction.
[CHORUS]
I want you to love my mind,
My smile, my style
I want you to know the best of me
I want to belong without being treated
Like property
Why does this seem like fantasy?

Waist deep involved in,

And apparently he cares,
And its all so clear,
Everday we got closer,
Slowly i lost composure,
And i didnt understand,
That the whole scheme of his plan,
Was to get my heart in hand.
So subliminal, Strong attraction,
