Everytime
Britney Spears

Notice me, take my hand
Why are we strangers when
Our love is strong?
Why carry on without me?

Everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

I make believe that you are here
It's the only way I see clear
What have I done?
You seem to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my "sorry"

At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away

And everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

Obviously
McFly

Recently I’ve been
Hopelessly reaching
Out for this girl
Who’s out of this world, believe me
She’s got a boyfriend
He drives me round the bend
'Cos he’s 23, he’s in the Marines
He’d kill me

So many nights now
I find myself thinking about her now

'Cos obviously, she’s out of my league
How can I win? She keeps dragging me in
And I know I
Never will be good enough for her
No no
Never will be good enough for her

Got to escape now
Get on a plane now, oh yeah
I’m off to L.A. and that’s where I'll stay for two years

And put her behind me
(I'll put her behind me)
Go to a place where she can’t find me
Ooh-ooh

'Cos obviously she’s out of my league
I’m wasting my time, 'cos she’ll never be mine
And I know I never will be good enough for her
No no
Never will be good enough for her

She’s out of my hands
And I never know where I stand
'Cos I’m not good enough for her
(Good enough for her)
Good enough for her
Good enough for her
Good enough for her

'Cos obviously, she’s out of my league
I’m wasting my time 'cos she’ll never be mine
And I know I never will be good enough for her
'Cos obviously, she’s out of my league
But how can I win? She keeps dragging me in
I never will be good enough for her
'Cos obviously she’s out of my league
I’m wasting my time, 'cos she’ll never be mine
And I know I never will be good enough for her
No no
I never will be good enough for her

I DON'T WANNA KNOW

Number 1 on: 6 June 2004, 13 June 2004

Type of song:

	I Don't Wanna Know (CD single) Artist: Mario Winans, featuring Enya and P.Diddy Label: Mca Date: May 31, 2004		Hurt No More (CD album) Artist: Mario Winans Label: Bad Boy Date: May 10, 2004
			Paint the Sky With Stars (CD album) Artist: Enya Label: Wea Date: November 2000

The main chorus in this song is sung by Mario Winans, and the introduction and central rap parts are spoken by P Diddy (also known as Puff Daddy or Sean Combs) - both are Americans. The woman's voice in the background is that of Enya (an Irish singer: http://www.enya.com) - the sample is taken from the song "Boadicea".

The singer has heard that his girlfriend has been kissing another man. He doesn't want to ask her about it ("I don't wanna know") and prefers her to keep hiding it if she is having an affair ("If you're playing me, keep it on the low"). But he is feeling hurt ("my heart can't take it any more") and jealous (he thinks to himself: "did he touch you better than me?")

SUV is a "sport utility vehicle" - a large car which is fashionable in America.

I Don't Wanna Know
Mario Winans, featuring Enya and P.Diddy
[words spoken by P.Diddy are in bold]

Hold up, let me answer my phone
Some bitch calling me about some bullshit probably
I'm a-call you right back
I'm doing this mix-tape right here
Now back to what I was saying

Somebody said they saw you
The person you were kissing wasn't me
And I would never ask you
I just kept it to myself

I don't wanna know
If you're playing me, keep it on the low
'Cos my heart can't take it any more
And if you're creeping, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know

Oh baby

I think about it when I hold you
When looking in your eyes, I can't believe
I don't need to know the truth
Baby keep it to yourself

I don't wanna know
If you're playing me, keep it on the low
'Cos my heart can't take it any more
And if you're creeping, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know

Did he touch you better then me? (touch you better then me)
Did he watch you fall asleep? (watch you fall asleep)
Did you show him all those things that you used to do to me? (do to me baby)
If you're better off that way (better off that way)
Baby what I like to say (all that I can say)
Go on and do your thing and don't come back to me
(Stay away from me baby)

I don't wanna know where your whereabouts or how you moving
I know when you in the house or when you cruising
It's been proven, my love you abusing
I can't understand, how a man got you choosing (yeah)
Undecided, I came and provided (my)
My undivided, you came and denied it (why?)
Don't even try it, I know when you lying (I know when you lying)
Don't even do that, I know why you crying (stop crying)
I'm not applying no pressure, just wanna let you know
That I don't wanna let you go (I don't wanna let you go)
And I don't wanna let you leave
Can't say I didn't let you breathe
Gave you extra cheese (come on)
Put you in the SUV
You wanted ice so I made you freeze
Made you hot like the West Indies (that's right)
Now it's time you invest in me
'Cos if not then it's best you leave

I don't wanna know
If you're playing me, keep it on the low
'Cos my heart can't take it any more
And if you're creeping, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know

If you're playing me, keep it on the low
'Cos my heart can't take it any more
And if you're creeping, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know

F.U.R.B.

Number 1 on: 16 May 2004, 23 May 2004, 30 May 2004

Type of song:

F.U.R.B. (CD single)
Artist: Frankee
Label: All Around the World
Date: May 10, 2004

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly (CD album)
Artist: Frankee
Label: Umtv
Date: June 7, 2004

This song is a reply to the previous number 1 song by Eamon (see below), and uses the same tune. Frankee claimed she was the girl Eamon was singing about, but actually this song was created by Eamon's record company as a publicity stunt. Like the original, it contains a lot of slang words which are usually cut out when it is played on the radio in the UK.

The female singer is angry with Eamon because he wrote a song about his relationship with her. She tries to get back by saying that he didn't mean anything to her, and by saying that his sex wasn't good. The title "F.U.R.B" stands for "fuck you right back". "Crabs" are small insects that can live in the hair around the sex organs and can be passed on to a partner during sex. "Wack" is a slang expression for "bad".

F.U.R.B.
Frankee

Nooooo
Oooh
No no no
You know there is two sides to every story

See I don't know why you crying like a bitch
Talking shit like a snitch
Why did you write a song about me?
If you really didn't care
You wouldn't want to share
Telling everybody just how you feel

Fuck what I did was your fault somehow
Fuck the presents, I threw all that shit out
Don't go crying you didn't mean jack
Well guess what, yo: fuck you right back

You thought you could really make me moan
I had better sex all alone
I had to do your friend
Now you want me to come back
You must be smoking crack
I'm going elsewhere, and that's a fact

Fuck all those nights I moaned real loud
Fuck it, I faked it, I'll rent you out
Fuck all those nights you thought you broke my back
Well guess what, yo: your sex was wack

Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah

You questioned: did I care?
Maybe I would howl if you want to come to me
Now it's over
But I do admit I'm glad I didn't catch your crabs
I can't swear bad, 'cos I got to go

Fuck what I did was your fault somehow
Fuck the presents, I threw all that shit out
Don't go crying, you didn't mean jack
Well guess what, yo: fuck you right back

Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah

You made me do this

F**K IT (I DON'T WANT YOU BACK)

Number 1 on: 18 April 2004, 25 April 2004, 2 May 2004, 9 May 2004

Type of song:

F**k it (I don't want you back) (CD single) ; version 2
Artist: Eamon
Label: Jive
Date: April 12, 2004

I don't want you back (CD album)
Artist: Eamon
Label: Jive
Date: April 19, 2004

Eamon is an American singer. This song is based on a personal experience he had when he was 16. It contains a lot of slang: these words are usually cut out when it is played on the radio in the UK.

The singer is angry because he has found out that his girlfriend has been with another man. The strong language used (American slang) shows his feelings of anger and pain. He is calling her offensive names: "hag", "ho" (a black American version of the word "whore") and "bitch". He is jealous because she has had oral sex with the other man ("you even gave him head"). He wants her to forget his kisses and his words of love, saying that these don't mean anything now ("it didn't mean jack", "it don't mean shit"). He doesn't want to go out with her again ("I don't want you back").

F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)
Eamon

No no no

See I don't know why, I liked you so much.
I gave you all of my trust.
I told you I loved you, now it's all down the drain.
You put me through pain
I want to to let you know that I feel.

Fuck what I said, it don't mean shit now.
Fuck the presents, might as well throw 'em out.
Fuck all those kisses, they didn't mean jack.
Fuck you, you ho, I don't want you back.

Fuck what I said, it don't mean shit now.
Fuck the presents, might as well throw 'em out.
Fuck all those kisses, they didn't mean jack.
Fuck you, you ho, I don't want you back.

You thought you could
Keep this shit from me, yeah.
You burnt bitch, I heard the story.
You played me, you even gave him head.
Now you're asking for me back.
You're just another hag
Look elsewhere
'Cos you're done with me.

Fuck what I said, it don't mean shit now.
Fuck the presents, might as well throw 'em out.
Fuck all those kisses, they didn't mean jack.
Fuck you, you ho, I don't want you back.

Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah

You questioned, did I care?
You could ask anyone. I even said
You were my great one.
Now it's over, but I do admit I'm sad.
It hurts real bad
I can't sweat that, 'cos I loved a ho.

Fuck what I said, it don't mean shit now.
Fuck the presents, might as well throw 'em out.
Fuck all those kisses, they didn't mean jack.
Fuck you, you ho, I don't want you back.

Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
Oh oh Oh oh
Uh huh yeah
(I don't want you back)

5 COLOURS IN HER HAIR

Number 1 on: 4 April 2004, 11 April 2004

Type of song:

5 Colours In Her Hair (CD single) ; version 2
Artist: McFly
Label: MCA
Date: March 29, 2004

Room on the 3rd Floor (CD album)
Artist: McFly
Label: Island
Date: July 5, 2004

McFly is a young boy band who were the support act for Busted during some recent concerts in the UK. This is their first song.

5 Colours In Her Hair
McFly

Do do do do do doo
Do do do do do doo
Do do do do do doo

She's got a lip ring and 5 colours in her hair,
Not into fashion but I love the clothes she wears,
Her tattoo's always hidden by her underwear.
She don't care.

Everybody wants to know her name,
I threw a house party and she came
Everyone asked me
Who the hell is she?
That weirdo with 5 colours in her hair.

She's just a loner with a sexy attitude,
I'd like to phone her 'cos she puts me in the mood.
The rumour's spreading that she cooks in the nude.
She don't care.

Everybody wants to know her name,
How does she cope with her new found fame?
Everyone asks me,
Who the hell is she?
That weirdo with 5 colours in her hair.

She was all I thought about,
The girl I couldn't live without.
But then she went insane,
She couldn't take the fame
She said I was to blame
She'd had enough
And shaved five colours off
And now she's just a weirdo with no name.

Everybody wants to know her name.
How does she cope with her new found fame?
Everyone asks me,
Who the hell is she,
That weirdo with 5 colours in her hair.

Do do do do do doo
Do do do do do doo
Do do do do do doo
