Overcome

Alexandra Burke Overcome Lyrics
1.Bad Boys (feat. Flo Rida)

Some people call them players
But I'm far from terrified
Cos somehow I'm drawn to danger
And have been all of my life
It feels my heart divided
Half way between wrong and right
I know I'm playing with fire
But I don't know why

Yeah the bad boys are always catching my eye
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
Even though I know they're no good for me
It's the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye
(Ooh Way, Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
Oooooh, bad boys

Some think it's complicated
But they're straight up fun for me
I don't need no explanation
It's nothing more than what you see here
My heart still feels divided
Halfway between wrong and right
I know I'm playing with fire
But I don't know why

Yeah the Bad Boys are always catching my eye
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
Even though I know they're no good for me
It's the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye
(Ooh Way, Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)

I know you want me shawty cos I'm a (bad boy)
Hey s-shawty can't help it she so so addicted to them rougher
fellas
With even the alphabet she only sings the crooked letters
Let mamma take all the risks
For that chemistry she like them tougher than leather
Not even the pulse
Is more like a mama be alfa decimal regular
By any means necessary, girl
She likes them ruthless, that's my world
It's not the news it's what I heard
To get them more the merrier
It's not a big surprise
I know them bad boys catch your eyes
Look at her walk when I go in disguise
You'll have them shawty don't worry you fly

Yeah the Bad Boys are always catching my eye
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
Even though I know they're no good for me
It's the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
Yeah the Bad Boys are always spinning my mind
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
I said the Bad Boys are always catching my eye
(Ooh Way, Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
Bad boys, bad boys


2.Good Night Good Morning (feat. NeYo

This beat is crazy
This club amazing
This is where I'm gonna be
I'm on the floor don't worry me

And this guy is crazy
His frame amazing
I got my sin all over him
As we dance around the place

His body interlocks with mine
Sends chills all up and down my spine
And I pull him closer, whisper in his ears
Oh, I said

When will it be
For you and me
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
When will it be
For you and me
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?

I feel so crazy
but she feels amazing
Ooh the way she's touching me
I can't imagine what it would be

Her body interacts with me
sends chills all up and down her spine
She pulls me closer and whispers in my ears
Oh, she said

When will it be
For you and me
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
When will it be
For you and me
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?

Everything in the room sudden spinning
Got his voice in my head

She was turning me on
how she work in the middle
but there's something about her
that get me at middle
she looks me in my eyes and lord she has to say

this beat is crazy
this beat is crazy
this beat is crazy
this beat is crazy

When will it be
For you and me
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
When will it be
For you and me
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?

When will it be
For you and me
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?
Is it good night?
Or is it good morning?

This beat is crazy


3.The Silence

You lift me up, then knock me down
I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around
I speak my heart, but don't know why
Coz you don't ever really say what's on your mind

It's like I'm walking on broken glass
I wanna know but I don't wanna ask

So say you love me
So say you need me
Don't let the silence
Do the talking
Just say you want me
Oh you don't need me
Don't let the silence do the talking

It's killin' me (the silence)
It's killin' me (the silence)
It's killin' me (the silence)

You let me in, but then sometimes
Your empty eyes just make me feel so cold inside
When I'm with you, it's like rolling dice
Don't know when and how your gonna make me cry

So say you love me
So say you need me
Don't let the silence
Do the talking
Just say you want me
Oh you don't need me
Don't let the silence do the talking

It's killin' me (the silence)
It's killin' me, yeah (the silence)
Hooowooo (the silence)

It's like I'm walking on broken glass
I wanna know but I don't wanna ask

Coz once you say it you can't take it back
If it's then end then please just make it pass

So say you love me
So say you need me
Don't let the silence
Do the talking
Just say you want me
Oh you don't need me
Don't let the silence do the talking
Wooohoooo (The Silence)

You lift me up, then knock me down
I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around


4.All Night Long

(Uh-ho) (Oooo) (Oh-noo)

I see everybody around,
But it feels like we're in private,
I know you want me so bad,
'Cause you just can't seem to hide it.

Them lights are movin' to the rhythmn of the music,
When we're together, everything just comes together baby.
So inspired by the moment we can lose it,
I hope you're ready...

As long as i see the stroke lights im dancing all night long,
When we're together baby,
I'm feeling alright you got me all night long,
So tell the dj play it.
(all night long x4)
So tell the dj play it,
(all night long x4)

So tell the dj play it,
Tonight the admission is free,
Now we're shutting the club down.
We're moving out to the streets,
All we got left is love now.

Feel my troubles pounding to the rhythmn of your heartbeat,
When we're together, everything just comes together baby.
Every motion calls your name,
Every excuse on me.

And i hope you're ready,
As long as i see the stroke lights im dancing all night long,
When we're together baby,
I'm feeling alright you got me all night long,
So tell the dj play it.
(all night long x4)
So tell the dj play it.
(all night long x4)

So tell the dj play it,
Forget all my worries now,
Need to put the past behind.
Unless this worlds in a hurry no,
We stand still in time.

Them lights are movin' to the rhythmn of the music,
When we're together, everything just comes together baby.
So inspired by the moment we can lose it,
And I hope you're ready...

As long as i see the stroke lights im dancing all night long,
When we're together baby,
I'm feeling alright you got me all night long,
So tell the dj play it.
(all night long x6)
So tell the dj play it.
(all night long x6)
So tell the dj play it.

It's only you and me together,
And this feeling's so strong.
Wish i could stay like this forever, all night long.
(all night long x6)
(all night long x6)


5.Bury Me (Six Feet Under)

Six feet under is where i'll be
Six feet under is where i'll be
Six feet under is where i'll be
Love bury me

Is there a doctor in the house?
Someone check my pulse
Cuz it feels like I'm not breathing
And i can't believe it
Wherever i am there he goes
Says he's only joking but i know
That he really means it
Never mind keep it

You gotta give up to get up
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what i need
I can't let love bury me
So give up and get out
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what i need
I can't let love bury me

Six feet under is where i'll be
Six feet under is where i'll be
Six feet under is where i'll be
Love bury me

Says i'm the one he treasures
But you threw the key in the river
Now how you gonna find it
Oh go fishing is my name
Now move out my way
I got dishes to break
Cuz he says he's already eaten
Tell me where you and her are meeting

You gotta give up to get up
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what i need
I can't let love bury me
So give up and get out
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what i need
I can't let love bury me

You need to think about this moment
Before you eat around this donut
You ain't got time for me
I'm on to another recipe
See you need to think about this moment
I know that you have chosen
To take a break from me
Now i know that's exactly what i need

You gotta give up to get up
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what i need
I can't let love bury me
So give up and get out
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what i need
I can't let love bury me

Six feet under is where i'll be
Six feet under is where i'll be
Six feet under is where i'll be
Love bury me

7.Dumb

Baby i'm loving your lips,
cuz you know how to use them
I wanna fall in your eyes but there's nothing behind them
Look too good to eat,
I just can't believe we can't talk about nothin
You so fire hot but that's all you got,
you're just all about one thing

So Bye Bye Baby
Could've had it
Should've had it
Would've had it
If you were a little less Dumb
Could've had it
Should've had it
Would've had it
If you were a little less
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb......
Bye Bye Baby
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb......
Bye Bye Baby

You spend more time on look than the rest of my girl friends
I keep trying to go deep but you don't have a deep end
There's just nothing there you play with your hair,
Stuck in front of that mirror
I need something more, more than a Ken doll,
I can't make it more clearer
So Bye Bye Baby

Could've had it
Should've had it
Would've had it
If you were a little less Dumb
Could've had it
Should've had it
Would've had it
If you were a little less

8.Overcome

If you walk with your head down
You can count every step you take
I know every place Ive been now
I can count every mistake
Ive been hurt so many times before
Almost forgotten how to dream
All that I was running from
Is all i need to save me

I couldn't let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I cant let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

You can never see it coming
Theres always that one you cant count out
Who keeps on believing nothings gonna stop me now
I've been hurt so many times before
Almost forgotten how to dream
All that I was running from is all i need to save me

I couldn't let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I cant let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

Im not running anymore
Coz now theres nothing left to hold me down
Some things are worth fighting for
I see it all
Its waiting for me now

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I cant let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I cant let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

I have overcome


9.Gotta Go

You said you'd never break my heart
Hey
And we'll never be a-part
So seeing you after so long
Got me spinning round,round,round,round
You said we'd always be together
And to me you were so precious
So after you what happens now?
You got me feeling down,down,down,down

So i think i gotta go
Cause seeing you is so confusing
And i might end up losing again
So i'm thinking thinking

I think i gotta go
Before i start to catch a feeling
And you might end up leaving like you left me once before
My heart can't take no more
So i think i gotta go

Seeing you after so long mmm
Feels so strange cause the feelings ain't gone
Like a rollercoaster ride
Got me spinning round,round,round,round

So i think i gotta go
Cause seeing you is so confusing
And i might end up losing again
So i'm thinking thinking

I think i gotta go
Before i start to catch a feeling
And you might end up leaving like you left me once before
My heart can't take no more
So i think i gotta go

You see the damage has been done
And now i know you're not the one
Cause my heart just wants to run
and run and run and run

So i think i gotta go
Before i start to catch a feeling
And you might end up leaving again
So i'm thinking thinking

So i think i gotta go
Cause seeing you is so confusing
And i might end up losing again
So i'm thinking thinking

I think i gotta go
Before i start to catch a feeling
And you might end up leaving like you left me once before
My heart can't take no more
So i think i gotta go


10.You Broke My Heart

Oooohhh

You know that I would follow you
To the end of the Earth
And maybe I was kinda bold
You shouldn't know my words

I was waiting for the time to remind you
You were in love
What I gave was so incredible
But it was never enough

You took my love
And broke my heart
You took my smile
And tore it apart
You left me crying
Down on the floor
The funny thing is
I still want more
If only you love me like I wanted you to
But you trick me into loving you
You tore me apart
You broke my heart

You charm me with your little ways
You knew the buttons of praise
And you said I was your everything
But boy you couldn't care less
And you said we'd be together forever
Now look what you've done

What I gave was so incredible
But it was never enough

You took my love
And broke my heart
You took my smile
And tore it apart
You left me crying
Down on the floor
The funny thing is
I still want more
If only you love me like I wanted you to
But you trick me into loving you
You tore me apart
You broke my heart

All that I needed
was someone to hold me
And all that I wanted
was someone to show me
just what it is to be loved
And I hoped that someone was you

Oohhhh

You took my love
And broke my heart
You took my smile
And tore it apart
You left me crying
Down on the floor
The funny thing is
I still want more
If only you love me like I wanted you to
But you trick me into loving you
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
You tore me apart
you broke my heart
You broke my heart


11.Nothing But The Girl

Take all my money from me
Nothing matters but the girl

Take the recognition
Take all the fame
Even take my name
Nothing matters but the girl

Take every stitch of clothes that I own
And completely naked I will walk to her
Take until you can't
Take me, as long as you don't touch my baby
Nothing matters but the girl

I don't even like to think
Think of being by myself
As long as your standing next to me
I don't need nothing else
Not nothing else, yes

Nothing but the girl
Nothing matters but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl
Nothing but my baby
Said nothing but the girl
Said nothing matters but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl
Said nothing but my baby

Nothing but my baby

I Said nothing but my baby

Take my seconds, minutes, hours
All my precious time 'cause
Nothing matters but the girl

Take my skill away
The words I say
Reason in my rhyme 'cause
Nothing matters but the girl

Excuse me Lord
Don't mean to interrupt
But stop what your doing
Make 'em take the world

But if you could, oh, please just
Leave her here with me 'cause
Nothing matters but the girl

Nothing but the girl
Nothing matters but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl
Said nothing but my baby
Said nothing but the girl
Said nothing matters but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl
Tell you nothing but my baby

Said nothing but my baby

I Said you nothing but my baby

Ain't nothing on this whole wide world
That I can't do without
Except for you, no doubt My girl
Said not even the air I breathe
Is more important to me
Than my baby, baby, baby

I tell you nothing but my baby
I Said nothing but my baby

Nothing but the girl
Nothing but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl
Nothing but my baby
Said nothing but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl

Nothing but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl
Nothing but my baby
Said nothing but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl

Nothing but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl
Nothing but the girl
I tell you nothing matters but that girl


12.They Don't Know

I went to the doctor to open up my heart
Got my symptoms all mixed up
He didn't know where to start
Ain't no doctor in this world
That can keep a broken heart from falling apart
'Cause they don't know
Oh, they don't know

I went to my mother to show me how to cry
She said 'Baby let me shed your tears,
I'll make the sacrifice'
But ain't no crying in this world's
gonna take the place of mine
'Cause they don't know
They don't know

Some questions have answers
And others just lead you on
Some answers don't answer enough
But I know
The answer is love
But they don't know
Oh, they don't know

I went to my brother to help me understand
Asked him why they're walking by
Don't seem to give a damn
walking by empty-handed
Don't they see the love they pair's
'Cause they don't know
They don't know

I went to my father to get some prayer for me
He said I hold my head up high
'Cause there's something there for me
Crying but I'm smiling through
'Cause suddenly I see
What they don't know
They don't know that
Sometimes,
Some questions have answers
And others just lead you on
Some answers don't answer enough
But I know
The answer is love
But they don't know
Oh, they don't know...


13.Hallelujah

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?

But it goes like this the fourth the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who want drew ya

It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

Hallelujah, (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah, (Hallelujah)
Hallelu, (Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah,) Hallelujah
(Hallelujah,) Ooooo
(Hallelujah,) Hallelujah
(Hallelujah,) Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah


14.It's Over

Tired as hell
and I can't catch my breath
Been flying so long
I just ain't got nothing left
Are we done?
Cause I can't take it anymore
and I just can't take it

Been so long since I was close
Enough to smell your smell
And telling me the love is still good
If it is then I can tell
Are we done?
Cause I can't take it anymore
Say that I just can't take it

Ooh, boy there ain't no tears to cry
I think it's over
I think it's over
We both know this love has died
I think it's over
I think it's over
Cause I just can't take it anymore

Say i'm trippin' when I tell you that we've changed
But your friends and my friends
And everybody are saying the same thing
Are we done?
Cause I can't take it anymore
and I just can't take it

I'll be known if there's some way to
Get dressed up to go to the snow
And I spinnd around the corner but you'll be gone
From now I sometimes smoke
I ain't the one
And I can't take it anymore
Said I just can't take it

Ooh, boy there ain't no tears to cry
I think it's over
I think it's over
We both know this love has died
I think it's over
I think it's over
Cause I just can't take it anymore

We can be honest
We have no reason to lie (baby we don't have to deny)
Whatever happens
We can say that we didn't try
Nothing for us to deny and i'll say

Ooh, boy there ain't no tears to cry
I think it's over
I think it's over
We both know this love has died
I think it's over
I think it's over
Cause I just can't take it anymore (cause I just can't take)

Ooh, boy there ain't no tears to cry
I think it's over
I think it's over
We both know this love has died (has died)
I think it's over
I think it's over
Cause I just can't take it anymore (cause I just can't take it
anymore)
