1. What if the sun refused to shine? What if the clouds refused to rain? What if the wind refused to blow? What if the seas refused to wave? What if the world refused to turn? What if the stars would hesitate? What if what is isn�t true? What are you going to do? What if what is isn�t you? Does that mean you�ve got to lose?

2. You can look but you can�t touch. I don�t think I like you much. Heaven knows what a girl can do. Heaven knows what you�ve got to prove. I fall down just to give you a thrill. So prop me up with your will. If I should fail, if I should fold, I nailed my faith to the sticking pole.

by Garbage
3. Step off the train all alone at dawn. Back into the hole where I was born. The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me. The blood on tracks must be mine. A fool on the hill and I feel fine. Don�t look back because you know what you might see. Look into the wall of my mind�s eye. I think I know, but I don�t know why. The questions are the answers you might need. Coming in a mess going out in style. I ain�t good looking but I�m someone�s child. No one can give me the air that�s mine to breathe.

2. Some people say that I'm not the same girl. They say that I think I'm in my own world. What makes them think that I have changed. A little dough cannot erase my problems.

3. There are times when I look above and beyond. There are times when I feel your love around me baby. I�ll never forget you baby. I�ll never forget you. When I feel that I don�t belong. Draw my strength from the words you said. Dream about us together again. I know we�ll be together again baby because everywhere I go, every smile I see. I know you are there smiling back at me. Dancing in moonlight. I know you are free. Because I can see your star shining down on me.

By Janet Jackson
