2.Brand New Me

Lyricist:Emeli SandeAlicia Keys
Writer(s):Emeli SandeAlicia Keys

It's been a while, I'm not who I was before
You look surprised, your words don't burn me anymore
Been meaning to tell you, but I guess it's clear to see
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
Can't be bad, I found a brand new kind of free

Careful with your ego, he's the one that we should blame
Had to grab my heart back
God know something had to change
I thought that you'd be happy
I found the one thing I need, why you mad
It's just the brand new kind of me

It took a long long time to get here
It took a brave, brave girl to try
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
Don't be surprised, don't be surprised

If I talk a little louder
If I speak up when you're wrong
If I walk a little taller
I'd be known to you too long
If you noticed that I'm different
Don't take it personally
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
And it ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of free

Oh, it took a long long road to get here
It took a brave brave girl to try
I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies
Don't be surprised, oh see you look surprised

Hey, if you were a friend, you want to get know me again
If you were worth a while
You'd be happy to see me smile
I'm not expecting sorry
I'm too busy finding myself
I got this
I found me, I found me, yeah
I don't need your opinion
I'm not waiting for your ok
I'll never be perfect, but at least now i'm brave
Now, my heart is open
And I can finally breathe
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of free
That ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of me
Don't be mad, it's a brand new time for me, yeah

Writer(s):John StephensAlicia KeysStacy Barthe

Hey, I never been this good, not that far,
Never seen this part of me, I know that nothing lasts forever,
however.

I'm not worried about tomorrow, 'cause tomorrow may not come
I wear my hat, took me at follow, you gotta follow.

When they lay me down, put my soul to rest
When they ask me how I've spent my life
At least I got to love you
When it's all over,
When it's all said and done.
When it's all over,
At least I got to love you,
At least I got to love you.

Hey, that's why I wanna live a life from magazines
Me loving you, you loving me.

I'm not worried about tomorrow, tomorrow,
All I know, all the time we have this borrowed I feel no sorrow.

When they lay me down, put my soul to rest
When they ask me how I've spent my life
At least I got to love you
When it's all over,
When it's all said and done.
When it's all over,
At least I got to love you,
At least I got to love you.

Everybody say hey, hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I have nothing to lose,
I have nothing to lose,
At least I got to love you,
At least I got to love you.
I have nothing to lose,
Don't let it go, nothing to lose
At least I got to love you.

Everybody say hey, hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, hey.


4.Listen To Your Heart

Lyricist:John StephensAlicia Keys
Writer(s):John StephensAlicia Keys

Hey, sis, have no fear, open up, let me in.
Hey, sis, take a chance, here's your song, time to dance.

What're you gonna do when it calls for you?
Listen to your heart,
You gotta listen to your heart.
Listen to your heart,
Why won't you listen to your heart?

Hey, sis, here's your sky, don't look down, we can fly.
You said you're a little bit scared, just hold on, we're almost
there.

What're you gonna do when it calls for you?
Listen to your heart,
You gotta listen to your heart.
Listen to your heart,
Why won't you listen to your heart?

You never know until you try,
Why so scared when hearts don't lie?
Turn off the world and close your eyes,
Lose yourself and listen to your heart.

Why won't you listen to your heart?
Listen to your heart,
Why won't you listen to your heart?

You know what to do when it calls for you.
You gotta listen, baby, gotta listen, baby,
Gotta listen, baby.
Gotta listen to it, hear it,
Gotta listen, baby.

6.Girl On Fire(Inferno Version)

Lyricist:Salaam RemiJeff BhaskerAlicia KeysBilly Squier
Writer(s):Salaam RemiJeff BhaskerAlicia KeysBilly Squier

Spirit of Marilyn callin' me, audibly
Bawlin' she, said that she would never leave
Continued to torture me
Telling me to come with her
Underneath my comforter
And she brought a gun with her
Pills and some rum with her
Tip me on the balcony
Telling me to jump with her
Yeah I'm in the ghost but I ain't doing stunts with her
I ain't tryna be that
Haters wanna see that
But I got 'em aggy
Cause I win the gold like Gabby

She's just a girl, and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
She's living in a world, and it's on fire
Filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say

Oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Everybody stares as she goes by
Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the nights
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn baby, burn baby

Dear God, if you're here God
Make the fire disappear when they stare God
Take away my fear when they interfere God
Do you fear God? Cause I feel God
And in my backyard, that's a deer, God
And that's a horse ranch
And to my core fans, keep reppin' me
Do it to the death of me
X in the box, cause ain't nobody checkin' me

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
Oh, oh, oh...

She's just a girl and she's on fire

Don't wanna love you baby and it's going so right
I wanna burn a candle, turn the darkness to the light
With the fire we make, it's getting hotter and hotter

From the fire we make, it's getting higher and higher
Like the night to the day
I can't stay away, no no no

Stay away...

Hi baby, wont you tell me the truth
You wanna be the one, you can't stay away
Hey darling, don't you mean no excuse
We can chase this on, and burn the hole inside you
From the fire we make it's getting hotter and hotter
Like I'm off to flame, I can't stay away
With the fire we make it's getting higher and higher
Like the night to the day

This abyss of the world and it takes us to the stars
It's getting higher and higher
It's the fire we make it's the fire we make
Getting sweeter, and sweeter
Like a night to a day
I can't stay away, say is, no no

Can't stay away, no no no

I wanna tell you, I wanna love you, I just wanna stay with you
I can't be done, just can't stay away, I wanna make some much

8.Tears Always Win

Lyricist:Phillip LawrenceBruno MarsJeff BhaskerAlicia Keys
Writer(s):Phillip LawrenceBruno MarsJeff BhaskerAlicia Keys

Check it out
It feels kind crazy

These covers, may keep me warm at night
But they can't take your place, cause they never gonna hold me
tight
And these pillows, may let me rest my head
But they can't say good night and tuck me in before I go to bed
Say now baby girl you're better off that's what I'm telling
myself
But I'm lying to myself cause I know I don't want nobody else

These lips are missing you
Cause these lips aint kissing you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these Tears Always Win
These arms are wanting you
Cause these arms aint holding you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these Tears Always Win

These candles light up my roon at night
But they can't lid the room they way you did when you walked
inside, oh baby
If these walls could sing about everything they've witnessed
Oh it'd be a sad sad song, and it'll probably sound something
like this

Say now baby girl you're better off that's what I'm telling
myself
But I'm lying to myself cause I know I don't want nobody else

Cause these lips are missing you
Cause these lips aint kissing you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these Tears Always Win
These arms are wanting you
Cause these arms aint holding you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these Tears Always Win

Tell me when the hell this loneliness is gonna be over
When everything in this room reminds me of you
Everytime I think, I'm getting closer
Cause tears drown me out, once again I lose

Cause these lips are missing you
Cause these lips aint kissing you
I put up a fight
But once again these Tears Always Win
These arms are wanting you
Cause these arms aint holding you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these Tears Always Win

Crying like oh oh oh oh
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these Tears Always Win
Crying like oh oh oh oh
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these Tears Always Win
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these Tears Always Win


9.Not Even The King

Lyricist:Emeli SandeAlicia Keys
Writer(s):Emeli SandeAlicia Keys

Some people so poor all they got is money
Oh, in darkness
Some peo?le wait till they count all their assets
I don't care what they bring,
They can have everything

They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king

Castles, it's as almost they're good in castles
Surrounded by people they ain't been afraid,
That's not what they take home

Oh,
I don't care what they bring,
They can have everything

They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Charge every ghetto we got
They o?en the crown, and they open the throne
But I already got all that I want

All the king's horses and all the king's men
They came marching through
They offer the world just to get what we got
But I found the world in you
I found a world in you
Of innocence

Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom
Yeah, believe that
But trust's very real, the king's never felt that
Yeah this is the song we sing
We don't need anything

They can't afford this
This is priceless
They can't afford what we've got
Not even the king
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king


10.That's When I Knew

Lyricist:Antonio DixonAlicia KeysKenny Edmonds
Writer(s):Antonio DixonAlicia KeysKenny Edmonds

Right there, in the middle of a conversation,
Wasn't anything special you said, it was just there.
Right then, I didn't have time even overthink it,
I looked at you and all of a sudden I was all in.

It's like my knees are all weak and the butterflies
Got me dancing, taking all of my air.
From that moment on it was very clear.

That's when I knew I fell in love,
That's when I knew you are the one,
That's when I knew you stole my heart away from me.
That's when I knew that I was sunk,
That was the moment that I knew I was in love.
That's when I know, that's when I know,
That's when I know that day.

And I know where we're going when the night would end,
I know if there was something wrong and if it was
I don't know how much I've cared.
That touch when you barely held my hand I was overcome
With feeling I don't understand,
Not in a million years I didn't think that we'd be here.

It's like my knees are all weak and the butterflies
Got me dancing, taking all of my air.
From that moment on it was very, very, very, very clear.

That's when I knew I fell in love,
That's when I knew you are the one,
That's when I knew you stole my heart away from me.
That's when I knew that I was sunk,
That was the moment that I knew I was in love.
That's when I knew, that's when I knew,
That's when I knew, uh, baby.

You know what you feel
And there's nothing I ain't and know this for real.
There's nothing to do, just that there ain't got to surrender.

That's when I knew I fell in love,
That's when I knew you are the one,
That's when I knew you stole my heart away from me.
That's when I knew that I was sunk,
That was the moment that I knew I fell in love.

That's when I knew, in that minute.

Sometimes you get it, sometimes you get it,
That's when I knew it, baby.
That's when I knew we fell in love.

Murder, murder, I took the red pill,
My heart it goes Boom every time that we feel,
And if you feel, jack it like a sweet beat, yeah.
Falling to his arms got me head over the hills.

I'm saying whoa, fell it up and drowned in my zone,
If I used to be broken, now I'm whole,
Man, it's mercy, mercy, mercy, don't lie.

I can't count no amount,
There's no limits to the ways I could love you, babe.
Take me over, I can't get over,
There's no limits, no, to the ways I could love you, babe.

One, two, three, to infinity,
Two, three, four, here's my prophecy,
Four, five, six, to unlimited this love.

'cause there's no another one,
He's not in this world, love.
Can't be no other one,
There is only you.

Only one, one, only leaves us to love,
Only I'm goopy and your girl could stuck the whole world for us.

Whoa, feel it up and down into your soul,
I'll forever be here at his mercy, mercy, mercy,
Be here to eternity, eternity, eternity.

'cause I,
I can't count no amount,
There's no limits to the ways I could love you, babe.
Take me over, I can't get over,
There's no limits, no, to the ways I could love you, babe.

One, two, three, to infinity,
Two, three, four, here's my prophecy,
Four, five, six, to unlimited this love.

One, two, three, to infinity,
Two, three, four, here's my decree,
Four, five, six, to unlimited this love.

Unlimited, limited, limited, limitedless love
Unlimitedless love, unlimitedless love.
Unlimited, limited, limited, limitedless love,
Unlimitedless love, unlimitedless love.


12.One Thing

Lyricist:James HoFrank OceanAlicia Keys
Writer(s):James HoFrank OceanAlicia Keys

What's life like on a train?
Nobody there knows your name,
As your decision changed
Do you wish that I came?

I thought you'll pick me up from work,
I waited for your truck for half hour.
I know you said you're gonna, but I never thought you'll leave.

This one thing that was made for us
Chases up, saving us.
I take one thing off everything,
Take that thing over anybody.

Square face and puppy eyes,
Fond mouth that never lied,
Your own man within the sky
Left you a house where they are.

But you went away and dared to try
Find a place at your size,
Too good to finish life here with me.

I couldn't get you to say
Why you wouldn't let me call?

Want to be simple, just ain't
And it shouldn't hurt like it does.

This one thing is made for us,
Won't stay with us, it ain't saving us.
But I'll take one thing over everything
I'll take that thing over anybody.

Baby, oh, now pick me up,
I need a compliment, just a touch from a friend.
I need a gentle word,
I need your company and I'll keep

One thing that was made for us,
Chasing us, saving us.
Take one thing over anything,
I'll take that thing over everybody.
Take one thing over anything,
I'll take that thing over everybody.


13.101

Lyricist:Emeli SandeAlicia Keys
Writer(s):Emeli SandeAlicia Keys

You're used to a sound of a heart that's breaking,
I know it don't face you anymore.
You're the king of the game that you played,
I know you played it a hundred times before.

You fill your bedroom up with trophies,
Then you get to kick at a closing of door,
Got all the words to keep 'em hoping,
I know you said them a hundred times before.

But then there's me, I false for your gold,
Then there's me, just loved me for fun.
Baby, there's me, no use in pretending
Oh, there's me, a hundred and one.

I might as well stand in front of a bullet,
Close my eyes and kick the chair to the floor.
It's like a speeding train is coming,
I know you've crashed it a hundred times before.

But then there's me, I false for your gold,
Darling, there's me, just loved me for fun.
There's me, no, no use in pretending
Oh, there's me, a hundred and one.

Everybody says I gotta be crazy,
That I deserve everything that I get.
But I got a feeling that makes me wanna ignore
All that you've done a hundred times before.

'cause then there's me, could I be the one?
And baby, there's me, to make you undone.
Darling, there's me, no use in pretending,
Oh, there's me, a hundred and one.

I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be a hundred and one,
Maybe it's time, maybe it's me, maybe I can be
I gotta be, I wanna be a hundred and one, yeah, baby.
