I want you cause I’m Mr.Vain
Call me Mr.Raider call me Mr.Wrong
Call me insance call me Mr.Vain
Call me what ya like
As long as you call me time and again
Fell the prensence of the aura
Of the man none to compare
Loveless dying
For a just to touch a hand
Or a moment to share
Can’t deny the urge thet makes them
Want to lose themselves to the debonair one
Hold me back the simple fact is
That I’m all that and I’m always near
One sexy can’t perplex me now
You know who’raw
As if you didn’t know before
I know what I want and I want it now
I want you then I want a little more
Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.Wrong
Call him Mr.Vain
Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.wrong
Call him Mr.vain
He’d say: I know what I want
And I want it now
I want you cause I’m Mr.Vain
I know what I want and I want it now
I want you cause I’m Mr.Vain
Girls are all over the world
They hope and pray and die for men
Like me cause I’m the one
Begotten son that breaks the mold
Get a look at male epitome
Style has never seen
That makes you want to grab and hold
And squeeze real tight
Whose gonna be the one to save
You from yourself
When you want to take a bite
Please oh baby please
You beg you want to stay
You got to get some caught
Up in the charm that I laid on thick
And now there’s nowhere
To run on the hook of my line
Yeah I keep many females
Longing for a chance to win my heart
Whit sex and plenty

Tryin’ to get a nut to move your butt to the dance floor
So your butts up, hands, in the air, come on say, Yeah.

Unfold, your body is free and behold.
Dance till you can’t dance, till you can’t dance no more.
Get off the floor and get a blow.
Then come back and upside down,
Easy now let me see you move.
Next in line groove, work me all night.
The music is my life.

If you’re a criminal, kill it on the floor
Steal it quick on the floor

Firework, de Katy Perry – Músicas de Dance
Filha de um casal de pastores evangélicos, Katy Perry começou sua carreira cantando em igrejas e chegou a lançar um álbum de estúdio de música gospel em 2001, intitulado Katy Hudson. Porém, seu destaque artístico foi mesmo na música pop, tendo “Firework” como um dos seus pontos altos.

Letra de Firework, de Katy Perry
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting thought the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you
‘Cause there’s a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
‘Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what your worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em fallin’ down down down
You don’t have to feel like a waste of space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it’s time, you’ll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
‘Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what your worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em fallin’ down down down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It’s always been inside of you, you, you
And now it’s time to let it through
‘Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what your worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em fallin’ down down down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

When you’re gonna stop breaking my heart?
I don’t wanna be another one
Paying for the things I never done
Don’t let go, don’t let go to my love
Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won’t let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real
Cause you can’t deny, you’ve blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I’m losing control
Cause you can’t deny, you’ve blown my mind
When I see you baby
I just don’t want to let go
I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I’m running to you
You won’t see me cry, I’m hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I’m smiling for you
Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won’t let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real
Cause you can’t deny, you’ve blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I’m losing control
Cause you can’t deny, you’ve blown my mind
When I see you baby
I just don’t want to let go
When you’re gonna stop breaking my heart?
Don’t let go, don’t let go to my love
I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I’m running to you
You won’t see me cry, I’m hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I’m smiling for you
Oh baby I’ll try to make the things right
I need you more than air when I’m not with you
Please don’t ask me why, just kiss me this time
My only dream is about you and I

Letra de Did You Ever Really Love Me?, de Nicki French
But there is just one thing I need to know
Before you turn to go
Did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really love me?
I’ve known for sometime
It wasn’t a big surprise
You can’t deny
Leaving is on your mind
Too many nights
I’m crying myself to sleep
Afraid of the dark
Baby, the hurt’s too deep
Although I was naive
If I wasn’t half so blind
As to believe
In all the lies you told to me
But there is just one thing
I need to know
Before you turn to go
Did you ever really love me?
It’s hard to believe
But I wasn’t completely fooled
You had to deceive
Yeah, you had to break all the rules
Although you kept
So many secrets from me
Baby, just this one time
Can you tell the truth?
‘Cos there is just one thing
I need to know
Before you turn to go
Did you ever really love me?
I wore my heart upon my sleeve
But you disregard me carelessly
How could you do this to me?
Although I was naive
I wasn’t half so blind
As to believe
In all the lies you told to me
But there is just one thing I need to know
Before you turn to go
Did you ever really love me?
Oh, boy, did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really love me?

Letra de Something, de Lasgo
I don’t wanna say I’m sorry
‘Cause I know there is nothing wrong
Don’t be afraid, there is no need to worry
‘Cause my feelings for you are still strong
Hold me in your arms
And never let me go
Hold me in your arms
‘Cause I need you so
I can see it in your eyes
There is something
Something you wanna tell me
I see it in your eyes
There is something
That you have for me
Is there a reason why?
There is something
Something you wanna tell me
I see it in your eyes
There is something
That you have for me
I don’t wanna say I’m sorry
‘Cause I know there is nothing wrong
Don’t be afraid, there is no need to worry
‘Cause my feelings for you are still strong
Hold me in your arms
And never let me go
Hold me in your arms
‘Cause I need you so
I can see it in your eyes
There is something
Something you wanna tell me
I see it in your eyes
There is something
That you have for me
Is there a reason why?
There is something
Something you wanna tell me
I see it in your eyes
There is something
That you have for me

I Will Survive, de Gloria Gaynor – Músicas de Dance
A cantora Gloria Gaynor foi um dos grandes nomes da chamada Era Disco, tendo com o seu megahit “I Will Survive” um sucesso tão grande que a canção ecoa até hoje em várias festas por aí.

Letra de I Will Survive, de Gloria Gaynor
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you’re back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I’d known for just one second you’d be back to bother me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high and you see me
Somebody new
I’m not that chained-up little person and still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well, now I’m saving all my lovin’ for someone who’s loving me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive
Oh
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive
I will survive

Another night, another dream, but always you,
It’s like a vision of love that seems to be true,
Another night another dream, but always you,
In the night I dream of love so true.
Just another night, another vision of love,
You feel joy, you feel pain, ‘Cause nothing will be the same.
Just another night, is all that it takes,
To understand, the difference between lovers and fakes,
So baby, I talk talk, I talk to you,
In the night in your dream, of love so true.
I talk talk, I talk to you,
In the night in your dream, of love so true.
In the night, in my dreams,
I’m in love with you, ‘Cause you talk to me like lovers do,
I feel joy I feel pain, ‘Cause it’s still the same,
When the night is gone I’ll be alone.
Another night, another dream, but always you,
It’s like a vision of love that seems to be true,
Another night another dream, but always you,
In the night I dream of love so true
Just another night, another dream, another vision,
Of love, with me,
I’m here to set you free I am your lover, your brother,
Hey sister let me cover, your body with my love is with my lovin’ just another,
Vision of love, that seems to be true, all we do all the things that only lovers do,
Vision of love, that seems to be true, all we do all the things that only lovers do.
In the night in my dreams I’m in love with you,
‘Cause you talk to me like lovers do, I feel joy I feel pain,
‘Cause it’s still the same, when the night is gone I’ll be alone.
Another night, another dream, but always you,

Another night another dream, but always you,
In the night I dream of love so true
I talk talk, I talk to you in the night,
In your dream, of love so true.
I talk talk, I talk to you, in the night, in your dream, of love so true.

Letra de All That She Wants, de Ace of Base
She leads a lonely life
She leads a lonely life
When she woke up late in the morning light
And the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought
Oh, what a morning
It’s not a day for work
It’s a day for catching sun
Just laying on the beach and having fun
She’s going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
So if you are in sight and the day is right
She’s a hunter, you’re the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won’t talk forever
It is a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She’s going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants
All that she wants

Letra de What a Feeling, de Irene Cara
First when there’s nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone
Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around
Take a hold of my heart
What a feeling
Bein’s believin’
I can have it all
Now I’m dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash
It takes hold of my heart
What a feeling
Bein’s believin’
I can have it all
Now I’m dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
What a feeling
What a feeling
(I am music now)
Bein’s believin’
(I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
What a feeling
(I can really have it all)
What a feeling
(Pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all
(I can really have it all)
Have it all
(Pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call, call, call)
I can have it all

Bein’s believin’

Letra de Never Gonna Give You Up, de Rick Astley
We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh) Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up

Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
