PAULA ABDUL – The Choice Is Yours

Lately I’ve had my doubts
About the way you feel
Tell me there is no other love
You see but me, ooooh
I’ve been a good woman to you
Give you sweet love every night
Break up, make up
That’s all that we do
So if you better want my love
You’ve got to go down
The choice is yours
The choice is yours
The choice is yours if you can find something better
The choice is yours
The choice is yours
Just like it seems you know it really don’t matter
Don’t be a fool and take too long
To make your move
A woman like me deserves a knight
In armor too
I’ve been a good woman to you
Give you sweet love every night
Break up, make up
That’s all that we do
So if you better want my love
You’ve got to go down
[Chorus]
I never give in to friends
That don’t give in to me
Treat me with love
Desire to be with only me
[Chorus]

PAULA ABDUL – Skat Strut

MC Skat Kat: Well You’ve never seen a kat with so much charisma
Got More Moves than a mutant nina- turtle that is
And I’m doing the Skat Strut
To hell with John Travolta and the Disco Duck

They call me Skat Kat, the dance floor maniac
One more of my hip is like an afro-disiac
Swinging and wingingI’m just doing my own thing
Girls don’t jump me
Give me room to be funky

Step to the dance floor bust a little spin
(I thought I saw a putty kat, I did)
SHUT UP KID!!
This is a new dance so shake your butt
And get a load of what its like to be doing Skat Strut

Now Jack was nimble and Jack was quick
But it was Skat Kat that made Jack trip
I burned him on the butt with a flick of my bic
And then I cold ran away with the candle stick
I’ve got all the right moves
Ladies think I’m Loveable

Love to wine and dine sippin’ on bubble
But most of all, I like dancing y’all
And doing my Skat Strut from wall to wall
It’s as simple as it gets, just stick out your neck

Lift up your leg and step to the left
Now shake a little as you groove to the beat
–Bend over, shake your big booty

And if you get dizzy from shaking your butt
You must have shook the wrong end cuz you ain’t doing
The Skat Strut (I though I saw a putty kat- I did, I did)

As we go a little something like this– Hit it!!

Without a question, its the strut to fame
I can see myself now on the aisles of “Soul Train”
People want to know if its meant to be silly
I say only when it’s done by Milli and Vanilli

The dance is mine a generation of felines
Mastered this step back in ’69
Return of the Skat Strut a brand new dance

(I thought I) could but you can’t– BUST IT

Homeboy Fatz, Why don’t you step up to the microphone
And give them a little taste of
Your beat box boy—

FATZ: Hey man, I’ve told you
I don’t like nobody telling me what to do
Now I’m a beat-box, but I’m a do-it-my-way
Anybody got something to say?

MC Skat Kat: For those who don’t know me,
My name is Skat
I’m the kat who did the rap in “Opposites Attract”
Me and Paula did a duo and then I went solo
To grab the microphone and make the ladies go
HO!

And now that I’ve got you at my command
Its my sole opportunity to make you dance
I want all four paws on the dance floor
Do that strut until your legs get sore
Come on! Come on! Come on!

PAULA ABDUL – Sexy Thoughts

Day or night it’s the way of life
Whatever keeps me pumpin’
Whatever makes me feel alright
Well I’ve been tryin’ to find myself
I was in a trance but now I feel like dancin’
Put on your platforms, get your move on
Won’t flow to nothin’ I don’t like
My vibe is mental, it’s never gentle
You gotta do your own thing move it side to side
Now if you love yourself, throw your hands in the air
And if you think you’re sexy
Clap your hands like you just don’t care
All you gotta do
Sexy things
Is be a little sexy
Bring sexy thoughts
All you gotta do
Sexy thoughts, SEX
Is be a little sexy
I got an attitude
I got a complex
I’m feeling funky, I bet’cha knew that
When you saw me
You thought you could take me to another place
But I ain’t hip to that
I ain’t with that
Here come the spotlights
I gotta get mine, so move that body
If you ain’t got it
It’s all about strength, poise, so make some noise
You don’t have to let nobody know
How you’re gonna steal the show
Now if you love yourself, throw your hands in the air
And if you think you’re sexy
Clap your hands like you just don’t care
[Chorus]

PAULA ABDUL feat. Ofra Haza – My Love Is For Real

I made mistakes when I played with your mind
Gave you excuses with each story line
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real

Watching you wondering what I feel inside
Deep in my soul I’ve got nothing to hide
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real

So baby please don’t worry
I wanna make it better
I wanna be your only love

This time I’ll understand you
I’ll never leave your side
This time it’s got to be for you

Let’s put an end to these long lonely nights
Things that were once wrong now turned out all right
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real

You told me, you loved me
You said that
I need you, you want me
I told you

So baby I won’t tease you
I’m gonna make it better
I wanna be your only love
This time I’ll understand you
I’ll never leave your side
This time it’s got to be for you

If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real

PAULA ABDUL – Missing You

Everybody’s got to cry sometimes
I never understood the reason why
Suddenly the answer is so clear I’m…
Missing you
Never thought that we would end this way
And if I only had three words to say
They would simply flow so easy, I’m…
Missing you
Casa blanca and white orchids I sent to you
Just a symbol of hope that you still love me to
I’m missing you baby
I’m missing you honey
(I’m missing you)
We can’t be through
I’m missing you darlin’
(I’m missing you)
Everybody’s got to hurt sometimes
I always ask myself the question why
Now my pain easily explains, I…
I long for you
If I had a chance once again
I’d approach us like a love song
So tenderly I’d orchestrate us to be
(A sweet melody)
Sending you romantic cards
to remind you of us
Just a token to entice you to
Come back to love
I’m missing you baby
I’m missing you honey
(I’m missing you)
A love so true
I’m missing you darlin’
(I’m missing you)
Baby I will take the blame
So let’s stop playing silly games
If it will bring you back to me
Baby I’ll say that I’m sorry
I will gladly sacrifice
To have you back in my life
I’m beggin you honey please
Come back to me darlin’
Everybody’s got to cry sometimes
I never understood the reason why
The answer is so clear to me now
[Chorus]

PAULA ABDUL – Love Don’t Come Easy

It all went down at the cantina that she liked
Everyone would watch her as she danced all through the lights
She was the center of attraction in his mind
Maria thought she’d never find a man worth her time

Oooo he came into the room
Oooo she really liked the way that he began to move
They were in the mood for romancin’

There’s a fire in little Havana
Flame so hot you can’t stand it
Things are getting a little crazy
Someone better tell them that

Love don’t come that easy
(I know you’re ready boy)
We’ve got to control all emotions that we’re feeling
Love don’t come that easy
We’ve gotta be strong — swing
We’ve gotta stay strong — straight

As he took her in his arms
She got an instant chill
A sense of passion
She thought no one could make her feel
Their bodies moved with such intensity
The lights went down
Made sighs of pleasure
Like there was no one else around

Ooh now she’s in the mood
Ooh to show him what she wants to do
She’s got him crazy
There’s a fire in little Havana
Flame so hot ya can’t stand it
Thing’s are gettin’ a little crazy
Can you feel it — ooh
Are you ready — ooh

[Chorus]

PAULA ABDUL – It’s All About Feeling Good

Baby I’m down to what you want
But there’s some conditions you’ll have to follow
You know that I’m not afraid to party
So do you wanna have some fun
You’re gonna have to get to know me better
let’s

go where the music’s pumpin’
That’s where I want to be
Don’t think about anything else boy
I’m feelin’ right so just vibe with me tonight
Cuz it’s all about feeling good
You’ve got to free your mind
It feels so good when the music hits ya
It’s all about feeling good
You’ve got to ease your mind
Baby get into it, cuz it feels so right
I’m hip to the way, the way we get along
I never thought you had it in ya, you’re trying to turn me out
Now you think you’re all that baby, let me show you how
How you do it, I know I can hold my own
Baby how you feeling now
Don’t trip I’m just grooving to the music
Just let your body flow
Boy come here move a little closer
It’s all about, it all about a good time tonight
[Chorus]

PAULA ABDUL – I Never Knew It

Now you tell me since you’ve been away
There was something you’ve been dying to say
Yes, I thought you had eyes for me
But I never was quite sure
Mighty funny that you never called
Ain’t it funny now that you’re gone
That you say you’re in love with me

Now that’s hard for me to believe
Cause I never knew it baby, never knew it baby
I never knew it baby, never knew it baby
That you loved me so
Now I think about you every night
Said you wanted for us to have fun
What’s the matter, cat got your tongue
It’s not easy to read your mind

So you bet not take too long
Kind of silly just holding the phone
Ain’t it silly that I’m all alone
When you should be here holding me
Or making good love baby, oh so sweet
[Chorus]
I knew somebody would love me
And satisfy this heart of mine
You never should keep it from me
You gotta realize a girl would cry and loose her mind…
[Chorus]

PAULA ABDUL – If I Were Your Girl

Brokenhearted
Unsatisfied
I can’t help it I can’t get you off my mind

She was so wrong
To treat you bad
She didn’t know you were the best she’d ever had

If I were yours
And you were mine
I’d make sure that I could please you all the time

I’d be here waiting
I’d treat you right
If I were your girl
I’d keep up all night

Appreciate you
There’s so much more
I would give you
If I were your girl

So frustrated
What do I do
I get excited when I’m standing next to you
Does she love you
Is she unkind
I don’t know why you’re there cause something isn’t right

All the wonders of the world
Are the things that I would give if I were her

[Chorus]

I never felt this way inside
It’s so hard, so very hard to hide
Cause I can see
That you don’t receive
The things you deserve
I’d give you so much more
If I were your girl

PAULA ABDUL – Ho-Down

That’s what I want
That’s what I need
That’s what I want
Ho down
She sprays her lies around her like the clouds release the rain
An endless stream of promises that vaporize again
Remember last Tuesday when you said it was the end
You caught her in your Nissan getting funky with your best friend
She will never change till her flesh is under dirt
But then at least she’s hangin’ with neighbors she deserves
Forgive me if I seem to sound a little on the loose
But I cannot pour sugar just to sweeten up the truth
I would like to wish for her a long forgotten dream
Happened early morning when I was two or three
Everyone around who didn’t quite fit in the mix
Turned and waved goodbye and disappeared without a hitch
Except my friend Billy who lived just across the way
The world belonged to us forever on from that day
Until we ran into that sneaky girl from down the street
Who tried to smile so pretty stealing Billy right from me
[Chorus]
The world spun around her everywhere that she would go
But even my friend Billy knew that she was just a — oh no
She had such a way to twist and turn a simple truth
Told my friend Billy I had been a little loose
Then Billy took her arm and left me standing all alone
I just had to wait there watching them do-se-do
Till Billy pushed her in the deepest darkest hole around
It was goodbye sneaky girl — ho down
I would like to wish for her a place to somewhere far
A place in outer space to some exotic little star
A million miles away would probably suit the planet fine
Someplace where it’s clear she is gone and you are mine
Or maybe some romantic little island in the sea
As far away as it is possible to be
She can have the flowers and the wind
And I can have my baby back with me once again
[Chorus]
I would like to wish for her another little story
My daddy said to me when I was just a little girly
He told me ’bout a pretty graceful lovely lady bird
Who never could find a nest good enough for her
From every tree she landed in she saw one that was better
So off she went before she ever could regain her breath
Wasn’t it a pity when she finally hit the ground
It was goodbye lovely birdy — ho down
Goodbye lovely birdy ho down –

PAULA ABDUL – High School Crush

Look out my window
Rain comin’ down
Waitin’ at the corner
Kids all wearin’ their frowns
Just another Monday
Goin’ to school
Till you come along
Kickin’ your heels
Lookin’ my way- makin’ me feel real

You made me blush…
You were my high school crush…(ahhhhh)

Billy got married
Lizzy left town
Barrie went to New York City
She’s dancin’ around
You went off to college to conquer the word
I stayed home
Thinkin’ ’bout you
Now you’re back, what am I gonna do?

You made me blush…
You were my high school crush…(ahhhhh)

Now give me back my dream
Ooh, how the tables turned
I see your eyes
And I feel the burn

One thing I know for sure
They’ll never find a cure
For what I got for you
My love is true

Now you’re back
Kickin’ your heels
Lookin’ my way- makin’ me feel real

You made me blush
But that was high school (yea)

I loved you so much
But time is changing all the rules

Enough is enough
This ain’t no high school crush
This time now I’m ready to be with you
This ain’ no high school crush

PAULA ABDUL – Good Night, My Love (Pleasant Dreams)

Good night, my love
Good night, my love

Good night, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me

Before you go
There’s just one thing I want to know
Is your love still warm for me
Or has it gone cold?

If you should awake
In the still of the night
Please have no fears
I’ll be there
You know I care
Please give your love to me, dear
[repeat first verse]

Good night, my love

PAULA ABDUL – Get Your Groove On

I can feel this energy building up inside of me
It wants to get out
It wants to let go
Do you feel the way I feel with your little sex appeal baby, baby
Now we move left to right side to side and grind
We can do it all night
There really ain’t nothing to it but to do it boy

Boy there really ain’t nothing to it
[Chorus]
Well I’m steppin’ so you better catch on ’cause there ain’t nothing to it
Baby move here close if you want to keep your groove on with me
[Chorus]

Paula Abdul – Dream Medley

Lost in a dream.
I do not know which way to go
Hey baby, you gotta remember,
I’m forever your girl
Ah baby forever, and ever and ever
You know I am

He’s a cold hearted snake, look into his eyes
O-oh, he’s been telling lies
He’s a loverboy, a plague, he don’t play by rules
O-oh, girl don’t play the fool now
If you tell me where you … last night
He was out there sneaking
Then he called you up to check that you were with him by the phone
And he looked at candy store, he’s been trick-or-treating
When it comes to true love girl, pretend there’s no one home
And you’ve been walking with him along all the lines
And …. all the while
Take another look into his eyes and you will always see a reptile

You can find somebody bet you girl
He’s good cold as ice
Aww
And it seems we never, ever agree
You like the movies, I like TV
I like it quiet, and I love to shout
But when we get together, it just all works out
I’ll take two steps forward, I take two steps back
We come together cause opposites attract
You know, it ain’t fiction, just a natural fact
We come together, We come together
Baby we just always come back cause opposites attract

Straight now tell me do you really wanna love me forever, or is it just a hit and run
Lost in a dream, I do not know which way to go
Let me see if you´re all that you seem
Then baby i am moving (moving) way too slow
I’ve been a fool before
Wouldn’t like to get my love caught in the slamming door
How about some information please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really wanna love me forever? Oh, Oh, Oh
Or am I caught in a hit run?
Straight up now tell me
Is it going to be you me together? Oh, Oh, Oh
Or are you just having fun?
Tell me
Please, Please, Oh Please

Do, do you love me?
Do you love me, baby?
Do, do you love me?
Do you love me, baby?
Do, do you love me?
Do you love me, baby?
Do, do you love me?
Do you love me, baby?
Here we go

PAULA ABDUL – Under The Influence

I fell in love
When I first spotted you among the crowd
Your eyes met mine
And that’s when the room started spinning around
Suddenly
I couldn’t breathe
I felt my knees
Getting weak
And baby I could not think straight
I had to move
Closer to you
Talk to you
But you had left me in an altered state
And it was driving me insane
Under the influence
Baby you got me
Under…fascinated, intoxicated (cuz I’m)
Under the influence
Oh baby you got me
Under the influence of you
I moved your way
It’s more like gravity was steerin’ my heart
What can I say
(I want to be your lover baby)
Be your lover right from the start
I had to go
Very slow
Vertigo
Was rushin’ through my body
And my brain
I was mesmerized
Hypnotized
To my surprise
You told me that you felt the same way
And it was driving you insane
[Chorus]
I had to go
Very slow
Vertigo
Was rushin’ through my body
And my brain
Mesmerized
Hypnotized
To my surprise
You told me that you felt the same way
And it was driving you insane
[Chorus]

PAULA ABDUL – Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow

[Chorus:]
All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night ‘n’ dance like there’s no tomorrow
Don’t care about the sunrise
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there’s no tomorrow

Today just wasn’t my day
Everyone’s getting me so fed up
I gotta find a way
I know what can make me feel better
Stepping out in my best
Looking hotter than ever
Wherever the party is
That’s where I’ll be in a second

I’m ready to move my body
Forget about all my problems
When I hear my song
I’m a lose control
(hee hee)
I go

[Chorus]

I’m loving the atmosphere
Feels like I’m floating in heaven
The music’s all in my ear
Taking over me
My hearts racing
Feeling so Hollywood
How I got everybody staring
There eyes on the cameras
And I’m loving all the attention

Get up to move my body
Forget about all my problems
When I hear my song
I’m a lose control
(hee hee)
I go

[Chorus]

Please DJ don’t say it’s the last call
‘Cause I know what it means
And I don’t want you to play no slow song
I’m still building it up to talk to that guy
Just give me another song and make it right

I just wanna stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night and dance like there’s no tomorrow
Don’t care about the sunrise
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there’s no tomorrow

[Chorus]

PAULA ABDUL – Cry For Me

Close my eyes at night
Who do I see
Standing right in front of me
Is it the one I try to forget
From my heart all my tears they flow
Never wanting to let you go
But somehow I did
You were out to
Cry for me
Pray that I can somehow see
I have nothing left to cry for you
tears they flow
Never wanting to let you go
But somehow I did
You were out to
Cry for me
Pray that I can somehow see
I have nothing left to cry for you
You will have to
Cry my tears
Pray I let go of my fears
I have nothing left to cry for you
I don’t know where I got on
Where I let go
But somehow I thin
[Chorus]
I’d love to forget about way back when
And forgive you of the hurt again
But I’ve tried, oh I’ve tried
So you will have to
[Chorus]
Cry for me.

PAULA ABDUL – Crazy Love

I had everything I ever wanted in my life
Wasn’t lookin’ for nobody to be satisfied
Wasn’t looking for a honey or a steady girl
‘Til I turned around the corner
And you rocked my world
You was walkin’ down the street
Body boomin’ to the beat
You had everything complete
You was cold- too cold
And the funky things you said

PAULA ABDUL – Crazy Cool

Sitting, chilling, thinking about you babe
You’re like a long, cool glass of lemonade – mmmm
Bitter, sweet and I want you so bad it hurts
You complete my life and you quench my thirst–sexy

Sexy feelings just come over me
Playing with my dress like a summer breeze
Gentle as the touch of a falling leaf
You open me up to love
Now I gotta believe, gotta believe

[Bridge:]
Nothing’s too good for my baby
Anything you want be free
It’s the least that I can do
What you’ve given me, given me

[Chorus:]
Cause I’m cool, Crazy Cool, Crazy cool with you
In this -uh-groove, Crazy groove
Baby act a fool
Hey I’m cool, Crazy Cool, You’re crazy cool with me
In this groove, Crazy Cool, Everything you need, SEXY

Laying in the grass, writing poetry
Looking up at the midnight sun
While you’re making love to me

You showed me just how cool Crazy Cool can be
Now I know meaning of ecstasy, ecstasy

[Bridge]
[Chorus (out)]

[Single Version:]
Nothing’s too good for my baby
Anything you want be free
You open me up to love
ooh I Gotta Believe

PAULA ABDUL – Bend Time Back Around

He led me astray
When my mind was weak
That’s all I can say
Ba-baby

He filled me with words
And knew I would believe
He’s nothing but dirt
Sorry

If you bend time back ’round
Will you bend it to me?
If you bend time back ’round
Will you bend it to me?
If you bend time back ’round
Will you bend it to me?
If you bend time back ’round
Will you bend it to me?

He’s a pretty face
Dressed up to the “T”
Nothing but a space
Underneath

I felt like a fool
I turned from you so fast
Time takes me from you
Bend it back

[Chorus]

If I could do it once again
I’d never let the bastard in
He’s puttin’ on a show
The curtain’s crashing down and closin’

I wish to back up my steps
So you’d have nothing to forget
A flip to reality
I wanna pretend you did not see it

Dika dika dy-i-i, dika dika doo
Dika dika dy-i-i, dika dika doo
Dika dika dy-i-i, dika dika doo
Dika dika dy-i-i, dika dika doo

Twisted up in knots
He had me so confused
He turned my every thought
Away from you

I was drifted out
On a fantasy
But now I’m comin’ ’round
Back to me

[Instrumental]

Du doop du doop doo, hey- du doop du doop doo
Du doop du doop doo hey- du doop du doop doo
Du doop du doop doo, hey -du doop du doop doo
Du doop du doop doo, hey- du doop du doop doo

If you bend time back
Bend it back to me
(Oh)
If you bend time back
Bend it back to me
(Oh)
(I said)

[Chorus 2x to fade]
