Beautiful
by christina aguilera
[Spoken]
Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(no matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(sun will always shine)
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side
All the other times
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

How Come How Long
Written by babyface, stevie wonder (1997)
There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl
* chorus
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time
We might save somebody's life
*
I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up bad feelings deep inside
Something about him wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beatin' his woman with his hands
Oh I wish she'd seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
In reality he's far more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'cause any kinda of abuse
God knows isn't right

these are wonderful songs sang by christina aguilera of our era, amazingly sang by her powerful crescendo; and by babyface and the wonders of my mum's age, stevie wonder who made a simple lyrics come alive with the story they tell thru their music. wonderful.
i guess it is correct tat some ppl says song are the rhythm of a person's soul; soul blazingly touching, just electrifies the very core of a person. it's great companionship for anything tat i can think of.
heard once tat some ppl are born w music in their soul; talents of creating music and embracing life; waking up giving out the very best, taking on anything life throws at them. amazes me all the time.
those who are born w music in their steps cant stay still in one plc; every step they take has a spring in them. truly a sight.
some w the midas touch; magic in watever they touches or set out to do..one could swear fluke everytime they hit gold, but twas merely their spirit in handling things tat makes one enjoy watching them.
passionate ppl are hard to find.
