Beautiful Intentions
(Melanie Chisholm / Paul Boddy / Dele Ladimeji)

I couldn't help but open my big mouth
As I stumbled into you the words fell out
Well you asked me the question and I just couldn't lie
But why did you bother when you knew what you'd find
No no no I didn't mean to leave you standing in the dark

So blind that I can't decide 

If you knew that I harboured beautiful intentions for you
So cruel that I never knew truly
If you harboured beautiful intentions for me

When they give you your identity
Tell me will you recognise yourself?
You're so influenced by the things that you hear
Down with the smoke screen to make everything clear
Oh oh oh You gotta learn to live and take it in your stride

So blind that I can't decide

If you knew that I harboured beautiful intentions for you
So cruel that I never knew truly
If you harboured beautiful intentions for me  

So blind So blind So blind So blind

Jaded with exhausting pressure will I feel like this forever?
Faded inconsistent pleasure wear me down wear me out
Jaded with exhausting pressure will I feel like this forever?
Faded inconsistent pleasure wear me down wear me out

So blind that I can't decide

If you knew that I harboured beautiful intentions for you
So cruel that I never knew truly
If you harboured beautiful intentions for me  

I wanna know did I disappoint you?
It still hurts to mention the words that were spoken now
I wanna know are you contemplating?
The beautifully intended yet tainted impression of me

So blind (so blind) that I can't decide

If you knew that I harboured beautiful intentions for you
So cruel (and it's so cruel) that I never knew truly
If you harboured beautiful intentions for me

Better Alone
(Melanie Chisholm / Peter-John Vettese)

I understand your point of view letting me go but I thought you had more faith
Everything I've done for you You made the mistakes and now you throw this in my face
And I have worked so hard for you all of this time and you cast me aside
I understand your point of view

But I can't seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear
And every time I think I've got this all worked out
Something chews me up and spits me out
But there's nothing left to fear
I'm better alone my dear

You couldn't pick a better time to give me the news Why don't you kick me when I'm down?
I'd always believed in you Defended your name but you have not been true
I gave you so much of my life I've compromised and you tell me goodbye
You couldn't pick a better time

And I can't seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear
And every time I think I've got this all worked out
Something chews me up and spits me out
But there's nothing left to fear
I'm better alone my dear

I know I really should thank you for setting me free
It's really amazing the changes I'm starting to feel
It's not gonna be long till I'm fit and strong
Deliverance helped me heal still I wonder if you ever wish you still had me

Will I ever get my head around
All the things that I feel good about that always seem to disappear
When every time I think I've got this all worked out
Something chews me up and spits me out
But there's nothing left to fear

No No No

I can't seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about that always seem to disappear

No No

And every time I think I've got this figured out
Something screws me up and drags me down
But there's nothing left to fear
I'm better alone my dear

You Will See
(Melanie Chisholm / Carsten Kroeyer / Jacob Binzer

/ Ajelown Owais / Deboroah Odedere)

I'm caught up in a mystery way I'm in a constant distant state
I pray for this to always be The path that has been chosen for me
'Cos it's got me spinning round and round, round and round
So high I can't touch the ground anymore And it's all that I'm praying

So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
'Cos it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see
You will, you will see
You will, you will see

Everybody starts with a clean slate Only altered by unnecessary hate
I pray that I will never be Affected by how you portray me
'Cos it's got me spinning round and round, round and round
But I'm not scared of being down any more

Now there's no one controlling me

So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
'Cos it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see You will, you will see
You will see You will, you will see

(let it rain) I'm not a slave to your attention
(let it pour) Fuck your lies I'll never be a victim
(let it rain) I Fell from the sky, a perfect landing
(let it pour) Sheltered from the storm and all the rain
You will see

So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
'Cos it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
Let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
'Cos it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see You will, you will see

Never Say Never
(Melanie Chisholm / Charlie Grant / Peter Woodroffe)

You say never say never baby Does it make you feel like everything's alright?
I say why all of your fantasising Who am I to burst your bubble
If it's all ya got to get you through another night

It's hard moving on You gotta draw the line
The feeling never comes back when it's gone That was then, this is now
No turning back, no second time around

You're like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So try to get it into your brain
Don't you ever say, never say never again

Now you're beginning to patronise me Acting like there's nothing you don't know
But wild horses couldn't drag me back and make me Live the life I left behind
'Cos the fact is that I'm so much better on my own

It's hard moving on You gotta draw the line
The feeling never comes back when it's gone That was then, this is now
No turning back, no second time around

You're like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So try to get it into your brain
Don't you ever say, never say never

Like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So tired and it's always the same
Don't you ever say never say never say never again

I never thought that I would overcome the pain
I'd have to be a fool to go back there again

Like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So try to get it into your brain
Don't you ever say, never say never

Like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So tired and it's always the same
Don't you ever say never say never say never again

Good Girl
(Melanie Chisholm / Tore Johansson)

I feel so bad Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that
What's lost is lost it's never gonna come back home

I walk in circles when there's no one around Try to find my own direction
I test the water but it burns my hand As I disfigure my reflection
I've been a good girl but you let me down

I feel so bad Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that
What's lost is lost it's never gonna come back home

I lie in silence and I just can't sleep How I long for your affection
My eyes are tired and my body is weak I can't handle this rejection
And I think it's mean how you let me down

I feel so bad Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that
What's meant to be is meant to be it's no consolation

I'll carry on proving everyone wrong
I will succeed

I feel so bad Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that
What's lost is lost it's never gonna come back home No

I feel so bad Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that
What's meant to be is meant to be it's no consolation

Don't Need This
(Melanie Chisholm / Greg Hatwell / Marc Lane)

City limits never change Whispers keep me hunted
Though I challenge everything I remain captivated
Trying to leave this life behind I have become the hunter
Now I'm planning my attack and I will surely rise again
Running from yourself isn't gonna save you

I don't need this I don't need you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I don't need this I don't need you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through

I don't need this I don't need you
I don't need this don't need you

Time has rediscovered me and everything I wanted
Now I'm standing here alone Your presence haunts me
I had the strength to overcome and introduce the fighter
No longer hidden in my self-inflicted pain and misery
Running from yourself isn't gonna save you

I don't need this I don't need you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I don't need this I don't need you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through

Am I lying to myself? Is it wrong, is it right?
Trying too hard to impress I wanna belong, feel alright
Am I lying to myself? Am I wrong, am I right?

Running from yourself is never gonna save you

I don't need this I don't need you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I don't need this I don't need you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through

I don't need this I don't need you
I don't need this, don't need you

Little Piece Of Me
(Melanie Chisholm / Pete Woodroffe / Richard Buckton)

I can see you think that you're the one

I could fall for you but I wouldn't waste my time
I should be less cynical but I've heard it all before

I know exactly what's on your mind

All you want me to be is a little souvenir

Of a night that you won't even remember

It's not because I'm worth it
Not 'cause I deserve it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
It's not because you feel it
Not because you really mean it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me

Don't think that I'm unapproachable Playing games with you 'cause

I wouldn't waste my time
I could be less cynical but I've heard it all before

Every single word of every line

All you want me to be is a little souvenir

Of a night that you won't even remember

It's not because I'm worth it
Not 'cause I deserve it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
It's not because you feel it
Not because you really mean it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
But I don't wanna be

Something you can talk about That's something I could do without
I'm not like you I can't fake it the way you do
You say you want me, well if it's true
 

It's not because I'm worth it
Not 'cause I deserve it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
It's not because you feel it
Not because you really mean it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me

Yeah Yeah

Not because I'm worth it
Not 'cause I deserve it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
It's not because you feel it
Not because you really mean it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me

Here And Now
(Melanie Chisholm / M. Benbrook / Simmons)

I walked the line so carefully I took my time, I wondered
The here and now, what matters now No looking back, that's over

I don't know what tomorrow brings
The sun may shine, the world come tumbling down
I don't care what went on before
But I'm sure of the here and now

I stood alone, the only one I didn't know I was waiting
For liberty to feel like me And now I'm here I'm not willing to change

I don't know what tomorrow brings
The sun may shine, the world come tumbling down
I don't care what went on before
But I'm sure of the here and now
The here and now The here and now

If you choose we won't move
I'm here with you
The air is calm
No more to do

I don't know what tomorrow brings
The sun may shine, the world come tumbling down
I don't care what went on before
But I'm sure of the here and now
The here and now

I don't know what tomorrow brings
The sun may shine, the world come tumbling down
I don't care what went on before
But I'm sure of the here and now
The here and now The here and now

Take Your Pleasure

(Melanie Chisholm / Paul Boddy / Dele Ladimeji)

Do you feel I should say goodbye? That will not be necessary

Here's the reason why

Because your dreams of my premature demise will be overshadowed
By the truth you cannot hide

It seems simple to me that revenge ain't so sweet Twisted turned you so ugly

You take your pleasure from my pain Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure from my pain

Your desire to obliterate my world isn't gonna happen That's not what I deserve
With the belief that you bullied out of me
Did it satisfy you? Did it make you feel complete?

I would rather be free, keep my integrity

There's no price that's the bottom line

You take your pleasure from my pain Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure from my pain Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure from my pain

Say what you want, it's all in vain It will be falling on deaf ears again
Say what you like this is my life You don't understand what I need to survive

You take your pleasure from my pain Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure from my pain
You take your pleasure from my pain Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself

So take your pleasure from my pain So take your pleasure from my pain
So take your pleasure from my pain So take your pleasure from my pain

You'll Get Yours
(Melanie Chisholm / Peter-John Vettese)

Should have trusted my own feelings But I silenced intuition

When you sacrificed your honesty
I believed that you would be there to protect me

and help me with all I'm going through
There's a joy to being free that you could have taken from me

But I found the strength to walk away

If you turn the pages and you look inside
There is nothing of me I feel that I have to hide
If you turn the tables and look at yourself
Is there something you fear that you would have to confess?
Many things will come to pass
I can live with that
I can't help but wonder when you'll get yours

I'm so happy I have moved on I heard you are regretful

But you sacrificed your dignity
With the power you have abused You disgust me and trust me

I'm not the only one
Haven't I already proved That I'm better off without you

I'm so glad I walked away

If you turn the pages and you look inside
There is nothing of me I feel that I have to hide
If you turn the tables and look at yourself
Is there something you fear that you would have to confess?
Many things will come to pass
I can live with that
I can't help but wonder when

For all the lies and your manipulation For all the times

I never felt good enough
You pushed me round and put me down to satisfy your childish ego
For all the times you made me feel worthless The power struggles now

I couldn't care less
It's after you There's nothing you can do What goes round comes round

If you turn the pages and you look inside
There is nothing of me I feel that I have to hide
If you turn the tables and look at yourself
Is there something you fear that you would have to confess?
Many things will come to pass
I can live with that
I can't help but wonder when you'll get yours

First Day Of My Life

(Guy Chambers / Enrique Iglesias)

So I found a reason to stay alive Try a little harder see the other side
Talking to myself Too many sleepless nights
Trying to find a meaning to this stupid life
I don't want your sympathy Sometimes I don't know who to be

Hey what you're looking for

No one has the answer They just want more
Hey who's gonna make it right
This could be the first day of my life

So I found a reason to let it go
Tell you that I'm smiling but I still need to grow
Will I find salvation in the arms of love

Will it stop me searching will it be enough

I don't want your sympathy Sometimes I don’t know who to be

Hey what you're looking for
No one has the answer but you just want more
Hey who's gonna make it right
This could be the first day of my life

The first time to really feel alive
The first time to break the chain
The first time to walk away from pain

Hey what you're looking for
No one has the answer we just want more
Hey who's gonna make it right
This could be the first day of your life
Hey what you're looking for
No one has the answer they just want more

Hey who' gonna shine alight?
This could be the first day of my life
