Open Mic Night Lyrics - May 20, 2026

I Can’t Help Myself - Joey Lawrence

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Ah, ddu-ru-ddu-ddu-ddu-ddu, yeah)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I just got out of a bad situation
I was mistreated and I fell from grace
The last thing I needed was a new infatuation
And I succeeded 'til I saw your face

[Pre-Chorus]
My mind was saying, "Run as best as you can"
"Don't forget that you have been here before"
My heart was working on an alternate plan
Pushing me in, instead of out the door (Yeah-eah)

[Chorus]
I didn't wanna fall in love tonight
I didn't mean to get myself in so tight
Wouldn't be doing this with anyone else
But with you, baby, I can't help myself
I can't help it

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I can't help it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ah, here we go

[Verse 2]
Overpowered, just couldn't resist you
And I needed to let you know
Your love took over the moment I kissed you
You started something burnin' in my soul

[Pre-Chorus]
My mind was tellin' me, "Be careful this time"
"Don't go jumping in the fire again" (Again)
But my heart was overriding my mind
Pulling me in, how can I pretend?
Yeah-eah, yeah, baby (Yeah-eah)

[Chorus]
I didn't wanna fall in love tonight
I didn't mean to get myself in so tight
Wouldn't be doing this with anyone else
But with you, baby, I can't help myself
I can't help it
I didn't wanna fall in love tonight
I didn't mean to get myself in so tight
Wouldn't be doing this with anyone else
But with you, baby, I can't help myself
I can't help it

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I wasn't looking for a new affair
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
But I can't stop it now
'Cause I am halfway there
Yeah, wow!

[Interlude]
Oh, baby
I can't help it
Oh, baby
I can't, I can't help it
Ah, here we go
I can't help it
I didn't wanna fall in love (Fall in love)
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go (Oh, baby)
I know I oughta take it step by step, yeah, child
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go (Oh, no; Oh, no)
But I can't help myself

[Chorus]
I didn't wanna fall in love tonight
I didn't mean to get myself in so tight
Wouldn't be doing this with anyone else
But with you, baby, I can't help myself
I can't help it
I didn't wanna fall in love tonight (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I didn't mean to get myself in so tight (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Wouldn't be doing this with anyone else (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
But with you, baby, I can't help myself (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I can't help it (I can't help myself)

[Outro]
I didn't wanna fall in love tonight
I didn't mean to get myself in so tight
Wouldn't be doing this with anyone else
But with you, baby, I can't help myself
I can't help it
I didn't wanna fall in love tonight (Oh, yeah)

The One - Backstreet Boys

I'll be the one

I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more than mysteries and lies

There you are, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright
'Cause my fear is gone
And I want to take you from darkness to light

There you are, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one
To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright

You need me like I need you
We can share our dreams coming true
I can show you what true love means
Just take my hand, baby please

I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright

I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run

I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright (I'll be the light)

I'll be the one
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
Where you can run
To make it alright (I'll be the one)

To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright
I'll be the one

Wife Love

They broke my heart to stop this dream
But baby, here I stand
I got a future in my eyes
And a promise in my hand

I’m not begging for a place
I’m asking for my home
If you feel it like I feel it
Then don’t leave me alone

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t want halfway
I don’t want almost
I want the ring, baby
I want the real thing close

Say it with your chest now
Tell me what we are
I been reaching for forever
With my hands stretched far

[Chorus]
I don’t want friends
I want more
I don’t want friends
I want more
Not your maybe
Not your almost
I want wife love
I want more

I don’t want friends
I want more
I don’t want friends
I want more
Let them talk
I won’t fall
I want wife love
That’s all

[Bridge]
If it’s real, then make it real
No more in-between
If you see the life I see
Then say what I mean

I’m not scared to want forever
I’m not scared to know
I’m not here to hold your hand
I’m here to grow

[Final Chorus]
I don’t want friends
I want more
I don’t want friends
I want more
Not your maybe
Not your almost
I want wife love
I want more

I don’t want friends
I want more
I don’t want friends
I want more
Let them talk
I won’t fall
I want wife love
That’s all

Got holes in my new jeans for you

Spider-Man Theme - Michael Bublé

[Chorus]
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size
Catches thieves just like flies
Look out, here comes the Spider-Man

[Verse]
Is he strong? Listen, buddy
He's got radioactive blood
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead
Hey, there, there goes the Spider-Man

[Pre-Chorus]
In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light, he arrives, just in time

[Chorus]
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Wealth and fame? He's ignored
Action is his reward
Look out, here comes the Spider-Man

[Chorus]
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Wealth and fame? He's ignored (He's ignored)
Action is his reward
Look out (Look out), here comes the Spider-Man

[Pre-Chorus]
The chill of night, at the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light he arrives, just in time

[Chorus]
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size
Catches thieves just like flies
Look out, here comes the Spider-Man
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Wealth and fame? He's ignored
Action is his reward

[Outro]
Look out, here comes the Spider-Man

You’ll Be In My Heart - Phil Collins (From “Tarzan”)

Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here, don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always

Why can't they understand
The way we feel
They just don't trust
What they can't explain
I know we're different
But deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know?
We need each other
To have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me, you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on
Now and forever more

Ooh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
I'll be with you
You'll be here in my heart
I'll be there always
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always

Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always

Evermore - Dan Stevens (from “Beauty and the Beast” (2017)

[BEAST]
I was the one who had it all
I was the master of my fate
I never needed anybody in my life
I learned the truth too late
I'll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes, but she's still there
I let her steal into my melancholy heart
It's more than I can bear

Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she runs away
She will still torment me
Calm me, hurt me
Move me, come what may
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore

I rage against the trials of love
I curse the fading of the light
Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach
She's never out of sight

Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she fades from view
She will still inspire me
Be a part of everything I do
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And as the long, long nights begin
I'll think of all that might have been
Waiting here for evermore
