Kelly Clarkson - Because of you

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

New Electronic Passports Draw Concern

Beginning in December, United States passports will be issued with an embedded electronic RFID chip that stores personal information and is intended to make the document harder to copy.

But when first announced last February, the passport plan was met with concern from privacy advocates who said not enough was done to ensure the information is kept safe from prying eyes. 2,335 comments, or almost 95 percent of those received from the public, were opposed to the idea.

Thus, on Tuesday, the State Department announced some changes that it hopes will allay those fears.

Privacy groups said there was no protection that would prevent anyone with an RFID reader to obtain, or "skim," data from a passport. Since the chip contains personal information such as name, birth date and place of birth, it could be used by identity thieves.

Some groups went so far as to claim that terrorists could use the technology to identify American citizens.

In the new version of the electronic passport, however, the cover will contain "anti-skim" material that will only allow information to be read if the passport is actually opened. Also, a PIN number would be needed to access the information on the chip.

U.S. government officials also stressed that the new passport would "not permit tracking of individuals." However, privacy groups say it is not exactly clear what can and cannot be done with the new technology. A high-powered RFID reader could potentially bypass the cover protection.

Government employees will be the first to receive the passports in a test phase starting in December. A broader release to the general citizenry is expected to take place in early 2006.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough (with Will Young)

Will:
Listen, baby,
Ain't no mountain high,
Ain't no valley low,
Ain't no river wide enough, baby

Kelly:
If you need me, call me,
No matter where you are,
No matter how far

Will:
Don't worry, baby

Kelly:
I'll be there in a hurry,
You don't have to worry

Both:
'Cause, baby, there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Will:
Remember the day when I set you free,
I told you could always, always count on me

Kelly:
From that day on, I made a vow,
I'll be there when you want me, someday, somehow

Both:
'Cause, baby, there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me from getting from you, babe

Will:
Oooo, darling

Kelly:

No wind, no rain,
No winters cold,
Can stop me now

Will:
Don't stop me, baby

Kelly:
'Cause you are my goal,
Oooo, baby

Will (while Kelly is singing):
When you are in trouble,
I'll be there on the double,
Just send for me

(Lots of chorus and random words)

Both:
'Cause, baby, there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Ain't no mountain high enough!

Addicted

It's like you're a drug
It's like you're a demon I can't face down
It's like I'm stuck
It's like I'm running from you all the time

And I know I let you have all the power
It's like the only company I seek is misery all around

It's like you're a leech
Sucking the life from me
It's like I can't breathe
Without you inside of me

And I know I let you have all the power
And I realize I'm never gonna quit you over time

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts, in my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

It's like I'm lost
It's like I'm giving up slowly
It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me
Leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head are mine alone
And I know I'll never change my ways if I don't give you up now

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts, in my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time, then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me
through this

(repeat once)

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts, in my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

A Whole New World

I can show you the world,
Shining, shimmering, splendid,
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes,
Take you wonder by wonder,
Over, sideways and under,
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world,
A new fantastic point of view,
No one to tell us no,
Or where to go,
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world,
A dazzling place I never knew,
But when I'm up here,
It's crystal clear,
That now I'm in a whole new world with you

Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights,
Indescribable feeling,
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling,
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world

A Moment Like This (Single Version)

What if I told you it was all meant to be
Would you believe me
Would you agree
It's almost that feelin'
We've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come here now

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Ohh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Everything changes
But beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Well i maybe dreaming
But 'till I awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Ohh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this

Some people wait a lifetime

For a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Ohh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Ohh!
Like this!

Ohh!
I can't believe it's happening to me!

Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Ohh

A Moment Like This

What if I told you it was all meant to be,
Would you believe me
Would you agree
It's almost that feeling we met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come here and now

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
some people wait a life time for a moment like this.

Everything changes but beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Well I may be dreaming but till I awake
Can't we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share

For a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
