I
Did my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of strength into my grace
But I've got blue
We are the champion, my friend
And we'll give our quality to the end
We are the champions, we are the champions
No time for losers, we are the champions
We are the champions, we are the champions
We are the champions, we are the champions
I wanna live with you
I'm afraid of all the fires
The darkened need of light
And we touch, you inspire
And they're changing me tonight
All my friends ask me to forget you
They don't even know what they say
I'll never forget you
Connected and never answered
I'm not interested anymore
You went through my life
To leave me without leaving
Every time I smell your perfume here
I remember the times dreaming that next to me
I want you to know
The letters I wrote for you
Every night
Tell me who is loving you like I used to do
I just beg you something, please
Baby, don't you leave
Don't leave me stuck here in the streets
If I get another chance, too
I will never, no, never neglect you
I mean who am I to hold you fast against you
Make it drop it and never take it down
Take it down
Thirty something thousand, why don't you show me something, baby
Who am I to hold you fast against you
Make it drop it and never take it down
Take it down
I don't know good, I'll be bad for my baby
Make sure that he's getting his share
Make sure that his baby take care
Make sure I'm on my toes, on my knees
Keep him pleased, rub him down
Be a lady and a freak
Listen to my drum like dum-de-de-de
I like the dirty rhythm you play
I wanna hear you calling my name
Like hey, mama, mama, hey, mama, mama
Banging the drum like dum-de-de-de
I know something I need
In this world full of people
There's one love in me
And if we're only here once
I wanna live with you
I know that we're not the same
But I'm so damn, damn that we made it to this time
This time
Now
You've got something I need
In this world full of people
There's one love in me
And if we're only here once
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air
When they hear you when you thought they wouldn't listen
It's like an anthem that the whole world's singing
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air
Whoa
Something big, I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing Pauline and he's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like oh
Whoa
I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
I don't need no money
Heroes, oh oh
But we're dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh oh
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh oh
But we're dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh oh
The crickets sing a song for you
Don't say a word, don't make a sound
It's life's creation
I'm like worms in some butterflies
Wake up and turn this world around
In appreciation
Catch your efforts, leave
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I do is you
Holding me close
What was I gonna do
I let myself go
And now we're flying through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Ain't nobody loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody loves me better than you
I've been waiting for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
You filled my heart with tears
You gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone
And now we're flying through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Ain't nobody loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody loves me better than you
First you put your arms around me
Then you put your arms around me
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Don't believe me, just watch
Before we leave
Let me tell y'all a little something
Uptown, won't you watch?
To tell when the summer ends
We never really went by in clothes
Folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loaves
New shoes once a year and then
Up to play ball so we could boo in them
Mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was okay
Mama told us we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Wanting nasty fingers and making fun
Cause we were good kids
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
But I don't think they really understood
When I said that I wanted to feel in Hollywood
I told them I'd be singing on TV
Cause the kids were calling me, I wanna be
