Christina Aguilera Thats how music
should sound nnn Ive waited for some time
To get inside the minds Of every legend

an endless ride Feeling the lows and highs
Of every lyric and melody every single
rhyme nnn So here I stand today In tribute I do pay To those before me who laid it
down and paved the way And so to god I
pray That he will give me strength To
carry forward the gift of song in his good
faith In his good faith Im going back to
basics To where it all began Im ready
now to face it I wanna understand nnn
What made the soul singers And the blues
figures, yeah That inspired a higher generation The jazz makers And the ground
breakers They gave so much of themselves
in dedication nnn So here I stand today In
tribute I do pay To those before me who
laid it down and paved the way nnn

Showin off a softer side of me They say Im looking
like a lady They say that love has gone and changed
me But dont be fooled by everythin you see I gotta
let the naughty in me free nnn Theres a woman inside

Why cant she do exactly as she please Without bein
called a million things They say Im not the girl they
used to know Cause I dont always wear revealing
clothes But dont be fooled the moment I get home
Im lettin loose, givin a private show nnn Theres
some women out there who talk and stare Who never
seem to let down their hair Like to pass judgment but
theyre just scared And dont know what theyre missing So they better beware Cause nnn (Repeat

behave Cause Ill never play that game Dont tell

Welcome to the greatest show Greatest show on earth Youve never seen before
Let the fairy tale unfold Whats behind the smoke and glass Painted faces, everybody wears a mask Are you selling them your soul Will you be left out in the cold
nnn Is it all blue skies Fun and games until you fall Then youre left without anyone at all Youre ridin on a shooting star With a smile upon your face But soon
the shine fades nnn And youre left out all alone Wonderin Where did they all go
nnn Been jaded, hated Wholl be around when the limelights faded Been shot
down Pushed out Made to smile when I wanted to frown Always takin a bow
Always workin the crowd Always makin the rounds Always playin the clown
Wholl be stickin it out Wholl be stayin around When the lights go down nnn

me in life nnn But Im all made up today A veil
upon my face But no father stands beside me To
give this bride away nnn Well Im standing in the

this moment With tears of happiness Here I leave
behind my past By taking a chance I finally found
the right man nnn Thoughts racing fast through my
mind As Im gazing down the aisle That my future
will mend the memories Torn between father and
child nnn My emotions overload Cause there is no
hand to hold Theres no shoulder here to lean on
Im walking all on my own nnn Here I go nnn
(Chorus) Now Im standing at four corners To have
and to hold Now my love you stand beside me To
walk lifes winding road And I owe it all to you For
taking that chance Youve shown me theres a right
man Cause I never knew a right man nnn Well Im
standing in the chapel Ready to confess That Ive
waited for this moment With tears of happiness
Now I leave behind my past By taking a chance
nnn (Repeat Chorus 2) nnn And one day my little
girl Will reach out her hand Shell know I found the
right man nnn Produced by Linda Perry Strings
