Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

[Verse]
I see heaven in your eyes
Every time I see you
You're an angel in disguise
Girl, you make me want to cry

[Chorus]
Girl, you make me want
To be a better man
You're my angel, babe
And I am mad about you

[Verse]
When you’re near, I feel the fire
A warmth I've never known
Every glance fuels my desire
Feels like coming home

[Chorus]
Girl, you make me want
To stand a little taller
Give you all I am
And love you even harder

[Bridge]
With you, there's peace inside my heart
A feeling that’s brand new
You've made me see who I could be
When I'm standing next to you

[Chorus]
Girl, you make me want
To be a better man
You're my angel, babe
And I’m forever mad

[Outro]
Heaven’s in your eyes
It’s there I see my dreams
You’re my angel, babe
The one who saved me

[Bridge]
With you, there's peace inside my heart
A feeling that’s brand new
You've made me see who I could be
When I'm standing next to you

[Chorus]
Girl, you make me want
To be a better man
You're my angel, babe
And I’m forever mad

[Outro]
Heaven’s in your eyes
It’s there I see my dreams
You’re my angel, babe
The one who saved me

A Better Man

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

(Verse 1)
You show up after all this time,
Standin’ in the pourin’ rain.
You say you miss the way we were,
But, girl, that don’t erase the pain.

(Verse 2)
Why should I take you back?
You hurt me, left me all alone.
Tell me why, tell me how,
I should trust what I don’t know.

(Chorus)
Is this real? Is this true?
How do I know you won’t break me in two?
You say you’ve changed, that you’re here to stay,
But I’ve heard those words before today.

(Verse 3)
I still see the way we laughed,
Back before it all went wrong.
But love ain't just the good we had,
It’s how you stay when things get strong.

(Verse 4)
You swear you’re not the same lost girl,
The one who walked away that night.
But my heart’s been wrong before,
And I don’t know if you’re right.

(Bridge)
But then you reach and take my hand,
And somehow, it still feels like home.
Maybe love don’t have a perfect plan,
Maybe hearts aren’t made of stone.

(Chorus)
Is this real? Is this true?
Maybe this time, it’s me and you.
You say you’ve changed, that you’re here to stay,
Guess I’ll find out either way.

So I say, “Come inside, let’s talk a while,
No promises, just one more mile.”
She takes my hand, but deep inside,
I can’t tell if we’re healing or just wasting time.

(Final)
So I say, “Come inside, let’s talk a while,
No promises, just one more mile.”
She takes my hand, but deep inside,
I can’t tell if we’re healing or just wasting time.

Wasting Time (Revised)

NFT  by NOVA J

Mmm, I’m running on empty again,
Heavy eyes, heavy heart in my chest.
Soul so tired, I just need some rest.

Sunlight through the window but it feels so gray,
Woke up drowning in the words you said yesterday.
Your poison in my veins but I won’t let it stay,
I’ve been carrying this weight till my back nearly breaks.
All your chaos and your noise, I’ve got nothing left to take,
So I’m closing off the hurt, letting silence have its way.

I used to set myself on fire just to keep you warm,
But those flames died out and I won’t get burned anymore.
You keep on talking but I can’t hear a thing,
I got my heart on lockdown, you don’t get to come in.

N-F-T — no fucks today,
I’m saving my soul, keep your drama away.
N-F-T — no love lost today,
You can’t steal my peace, I ain’t payin’ you no mind.
No fucks today, I’m numb to the pain,
Nothing you do is gonna make me cave.
No fucks today… no, no fucks today.

There were nights I couldn’t sleep, replaying every lie,
Gave too much of myself, left me bone-dry.
I built a wall out of all of the tears I cried,
Now your words hit my wall and they stay outside.
Every scar that you left turned to armor I wear,
Now I step through the fire and I don’t even care.

It took losing everything for me to draw the line,
Now I’m done with the battle that was never mine.
You keep on pushing but I won’t bleed again,
I got nothing to lose and nothing left to give.

N-F-T — no fucks today,
All your venom and hate, I brush it away.
N-F-T — I’m done hurting this way,
Took back my heart, now I’m keeping it safe.
No fucks today, I’m free from your chains,
You got nothing on me, watch me walk away.
No fucks today… no, no fucks today.

Under the skin, there’s a flicker of ache,
A part of me wonders how much more I can take,
I’d rather be numb than burn in your flame.
(Ooh-ooh)
I remember the hope that you stripped away,
Now the well has run dry, there’s no more to drain.
In the darkness I found I could light my own way,
I felt the fear in my veins but I let it decay.

N-F-T — no fucks today,
I’m claiming my space and I’m finding my way.
N-F-T — no more debt to pay,
You can’t make me feel guilty for walking away.
No fucks today, your shadow can’t stay,
I let it all go and I’m healing today.
No fucks today… (hey, hey) no fucks today.

No fucks today, I’m not giving in,
No fucks today… that’s the state I’m in.

ARE YOU WEIRD? ME TOO by Nova J

(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)

Happy Hump Day, handsome
Feelin’ dry as a desert anthem
Wishin’ I was trippin’
But I’m sober as a dry was slippin’

Ever wonder what it’s like with a dwarf?
I think I might be… dwarf curious, of course
Pretty Little Lady, three-foot fire
Biggest beaver west of the muddy mire

Mind in the gutter, yeah, can’t deny
Got questions that make angels cry
Get my mind out the gutter
But it’s warm down here, why even try?

(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)
(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)

Wheelchair Granny rolls with pride
Army of lesbians at her side
Beautiful Bettys on a joyride
Don’t block the road, don’t even try

Trendy then, twenty years ago
Now it’s vanished like a late night show
Sometimes they hit, sometimes they flop
But I keep on writing, can’t make it stop

‘Cause Madre’s lovin’ it, I won’t quit
She’s the winter bird-feeding kinda spirit
Makes life better just bein’ around
A quiet saint on this messy ground

(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)

Mind in the gutter, thoughts run free
Pink Dino starin’ back at me
No eyes, no lies—just mystery
Am I okay? Depends on the week

Are you craving sushi?
Are you? Are you?
Fatty tuna, holy glory
Some fish look just like feet

This office visit was supposed to be routine
Now I’m strapped into a giant X-ray machine
Quiet death rays beamin’ through my teeth
Gums receding, but at least they’re clean

Producer’s rude, kill my groove
Mood’s gone south, can’t approve
You’re 32, go catch a flight
Toodle-oo, London’s callin’ tonight

(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)

I’m grouchy too, maybe feelin’ blue
But there’s sushi dreams and sky so true
Is that a dog or a tiny pony?
I swear that bird just winked at me slowly

Thank the fish for their sacrifice
Thank the birds for their paradise
Thank the cattle, thank the grain
Thank the earth for takin’ our pain

Mind in the gutter, can’t pretend
It’s a wild world, my weirdo friend
So here’s to truth and chaos too
Are you weird?
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)
Me too. (Me too)

Are you weird? Me too!

Italian translation and arrangement by: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Dov’è il treno? Sta partendo
Ho perso la mia fermata
La mia mente sta correndo
Ma l’ispirazione è svanita

Non sono qui per far casino
Non ho più semi da piantare
Sono quasi alla mezza età
E sai già come va a finire

E il tempo vola
Il tempo corre troppo in fretta

E il mondo sta cambiando (cambiando)
Oh, il mondo cambia veloce
Tutte queste guerre che sto combattendo (combattendo)
Non so se reggerò la croce

Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine

Guardo intorno
Sembra che mi sia perso l’avviso
Guardo in basso
È una lunga caduta nel vuoto

Sono troppo stanco per salire
Ma ho troppa paura di cadere
Ho lottato per ciò che è mio
E ora ho il terrore di perdere tutto

E il tempo vola
Il tempo corre troppo in fretta

E il mondo sta cambiando (cambiando)
Oh, il mondo cambia veloce
Tutte queste guerre che sto combattendo (combattendo)
Non so se reggerò la croce

Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine

So che in qualche modo sono arrivato a metà
Ma c’è ancora tanto che non so
So quanto a volte mi sento spaventato
C’è ancora spazio per crescere un po’?
Non lo so (ooooh)
Non lo so davvero (ooooh)
Non lo so

Non sono qui per far casino
Sai già come va a finire
Sono quasi alla mezza età
Ma prego di poter cambiare

E il tempo vola
Il tempo corre troppo in fretta
E il mondo sta cambiando (cambiando)
Oh, il mondo cambia veloce
Tutte queste guerre che sto combattendo (combattendo)
Non so se reggerò la croce

Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine
Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine
Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine
Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine (fino alla fine)
Fino alla fine

Mezza Età (Italian)

Lyrics by: Graciana and Paulo Sergio Carvalho

(Ah)
I look good
I look good
I look good
I look good

I didn’t come to play, I came to slay
Every eye on me, I’m the queen of the stage
Struttin’ through the crowd, yeah, I own the night
Got that killer vibe, I’m the spark, the fight

Bottle in my grip, I’m a vision in black
Heads turnin’ fast, no one’s holdin’ me back
They whisper my name, but I don’t care
I’m the storm in the room, feel the heat in the air

You’re watchin’ me move, caught up in my flame
I’m trouble in stilettos, rewriting the game
No second-guessin’, I’m callin’ the shots
Tonight’s my throne, and I’m takin’ what’s hot

I look good, yeah, I’m breakin’ the room
Body like a weapon, bringin’ all the doom
No regrets, I’m the queen of the scene
Bow down, baby, I’m livin’ the dream

I look good, burnin’ bright, untamed
Every move I make sets the club aflame
No rules, no chains, I’m takin’ it all
I’m the fire, the spark, the name they call

DJ hits the beat, bass rattlin’ my core
I glide to the floor, make the crowd want more
Dudes line up, but they’re wastin’ their breath
I’m a diamond in the rough, too sharp for the rest

I’m a masterpiece, carved in fire and ice
Got that savage soul with a venomous bite
No small talk, I don’t play that game
You want my attention? Better match my flame

I’m the one they chase, but I’m never caught
I’m the fever in the night, the thrill they sought
Got my eyes on the prize, I’m locked in tight
This queen’s takin’ names, and I’m winnin’ tonight

You feel that heat? That’s me in control
Pullin’ every string, stealin’ every soul
I don’t wait, I don’t beg, I don’t plead
Step up or step back, ‘cause I’m all you need

I look good, yeah, I’m breakin’ the room
Body like a weapon, bringin’ all the doom
No regrets, I’m the queen of the scene
Bow down, baby, I’m livin’ the dream

I look good, burnin’ bright, untamed
Every move I make sets the club aflame
No rules, no chains, I’m takin’ it all
I’m the fire, the spark, the name they call

I’m a hurricane wrapped in a dangerous glow
Every step I take makes the tension grow
You can try to keep up, but I’m miles ahead
I’m the dream in your head, the thrill you dread

I’m chaos in leather, a venomous stare
Got the whole club frozen, they can’t help but stare
I dance like I’m war, like I’m born to reign
And I’ll leave ‘em all wrecked in my hurricane

I look good, yeah, I’m breakin’ the room
Body like a weapon, bringin’ all the doom
No regrets, I’m the queen of the scene
Bow down, baby, I’m livin’ the dream

I look good, I’m the edge of the night
Got the floor on lock, I’m the ultimate high
No stoppin’ me now, I’m claimin’ it all
I’m the fire, the spark, the name they call

So what’s it gonna be, you in or you out?
I’m the queen of this game, no shadow of doubt
Keep up or get lost, ‘cause I’m runnin’ this show
Let’s burn this club down ‘til the lights don’t glow

I Look Good

Lyrics By: Graciana and Paulo Sergio Carvalho

I’m here to slay, not to play
All eyes on me, I rule the stage
Struttin’ through, I own this night
Got that fire, I’m ready to fight

Bottle in hand, dressed in black
Heads turn fast, no turnin’ back
They stare, but I don’t care
I’m the storm, feel the heat in the air

You watch me move, I’m pure flame
I’m trouble, babe, changin’ the game
No doubts, I’m callin’ the shots
This night’s mine, I’m takin’ what’s hot

I look good, I’m rulin’ the floor
Body like a blade, leavin’ ‘em floored
No regrets, I’m queen of the scene
Bow down, I’m livin’ the dream

I look good, I’m wild, untamed
Every move I make sets the club ablaze
No rules, no chains, I’m takin’ it all
I’m the fire, the spark, the name they call

DJ drops the beat, bass hits hard
I own the floor, I’m the club’s star
Dudes try, but they don’t stand a chance
I’m too sharp, they can’t match my dance

I’m fire and ice, a dangerous mix
Savage inside with a killer fix
No games, I don’t waste my time
Want my vibe? Better bring the fire

They chase, but I’m never caught
I’m the thrill, the heat they sought
Eyes on the prize, I’m locked in tight
This queen’s takin’ over tonight

Feel that heat? That’s me in charge
Runnin’ the show, I’m livin’ large
I don’t wait, I don’t beg or plead
Step up or leave, I’m all you need

I look good, I’m rulin’ the floor
Body like a blade, leavin’ ‘em floored
No regrets, I’m queen of the scene
Bow down, I’m livin’ the dream

I look good, I’m wild, untamed
Every move I make sets the club ablaze
No rules, no chains, I’m takin’ it all
I’m the fire, the spark, the name they call

I’m a storm, I glow, I shine
Every step I take makes the night mine
Try to keep up, but I’m too fast
I’m the queen, this night’s gonna last

Dressed to kill, with a deadly stare
Whole club’s froze, they can’t help but glare
I dance like I’m born to rule
Leave ‘em all shook, I’m nobody’s fool

I look good, I’m rulin’ the floor
Body like a blade, leavin’ ‘em floored
No regrets, I’m queen of the scene
Bow down, I’m livin’ the dream

I look good, I’m the night’s big thrill
Got the club on lock, givin’ ‘em chills
No stoppin’ me, I’m claimin’ it all
I’m the fire, the spark, the name they call

So what’s it gonna be, you in or out?
I’m the queen, no room for doubt
Keep up or get lost, I run this show
Let’s burn it down ‘til the lights don’t glow

I Look Good (iGracie Remix)

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Lá vamos nós, lá vamos nós de novo,
Fazendo promessas que não pode cumprir.
Mais uma rodada de gritos, menina,
Palavras cortam fundo, mas nunca partimos.  

Você diz que acabou, mas me puxa de volta,
Amor e guerra no mesmo ataque.
Queimamos forte, caímos rápido,
Mas sabemos que fomos feitos pra durar.  

Mentira, mentira, a casa em chamas,
Esse amor tá explodindo, menina.
Fazer amor a noite toda é bom,
Mas não resolve os problemas.  

Jogando pratos, batendo portas,
Gritando até a garganta doer.
Então você me beija, me puxa pra perto,
E tudo começa de novo.  

Você diz que é tóxico, diz que é errado,
Mas nós dois sabemos onde pertencemos.
Queimamos tão forte, amamos tão selvagem,
Droga, esse amor me deixa louco.  

Mentira, mentira, corações em chamas,
Cada briga só alimenta a chama.
Nos separamos, voltamos a cair,
Ainda nos amamos, tudo igual.  

Nos partimos só pra colidir,
Amor e caos lado a lado.
Juro que te odeio, mas depois não,
Tento ir embora, mas, menina, não vou.  

Diz, meu bem, qual é a cura?
Pra um amor tão cru e tão incerto?
Prefiro brigar e te ter por perto,
Do que te perder pro medo silencioso.  

Mentira, mentira, o amor tá em chamas,
Continuamos brincando com a dor.
Mas se essa casa queimar essa noite,
Eu a reconstruiria com você de novo.  

Somos uma tempestade que não para de rugir,
Mas o trovão nos mantém fortes.
Cada cicatriz, cada erro,
Ainda não me diz que o amor se foi.  

Por entre as cinzas, por entre as chamas,
Eu ainda te escolheria toda vez.
Então deixa queimar, deixa quebrar,
Nós vamos renascer, você ainda será minha.  

Então lá vamos nós, lá vamos nós de novo,
Sem medo de como isso termina.
Podemos queimar, podemos cair,
Mas vamos resistir a tudo.  

Mentira, mentira, o amor tá em chamas,
Mas eu ainda atravessaria as chamas por você.
Brigamos, quebramos, nos separamos,
Mas nada muda meu coração, é verdade.  

Mentira, mentira, o amor ainda queima,
Por cada tempestade, por cada prova.
Não importa o que, por toda a dor,
Você é meu primeiro, meu último, minha busca sem fim.  

Corações em Chamas (Portuguese)

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Here we go, here we go again,
Making promises you can't keep.
Another round of yelling, girl,
Words cut deep, but we never leave.

You say it’s over, then pull me back,
Love and war in the same attack.
We burn too hot, we crash too fast,
But we know we were built to last.

Liar liar, house on fire,
This love is blowing up, girl.
Making love all night is nice,
But it won’t fix the problems.

Throwing dishes, slamming doors,
Screaming till our throats get sore.
Then you kiss me, pull me in,
And it starts all over again.

You say it's toxic, say it's wrong,
But we both know where we belong.
We burn too bright, we love too wild,
Damn, this love just drives me wild.

Liar liar, hearts on fire,
Every fight just feeds the flame.
We break apart, we fall back in,
Still love each other just the same.

We break apart just to collide,
Love and chaos side by side.
I swear I hate you, then I don't,
I try to leave, but girl, I won’t.

Tell me, baby, what’s the cure?
For love that’s raw and so unsure?
I’d rather fight and have you near,
Than lose you to the quiet fear.

Liar liar, love’s on fire,
We keep on playing with the pain.
But if this house burns down tonight,
I’d build it up with you again.

We’re a storm that won’t stop raging,
But the thunder keeps us strong.
Every scar, every mistake,
Still can’t tell me love is gone.

Through the ashes, through the flames,
I’d still choose you every time.
So let it burn, let it break,
We’ll rise again, you’ll still be mine.

So here we go, here we go again,
Not afraid of how it ends.
We might burn, we might fall,
But we’ll stand through it all.

Liar liar, love’s on fire,
But I’d still walk through the flames for you.
We fight, we break, we fall apart,
But nothing changes my heart, it’s true.

Liar liar, love’s still burning,
Through every storm, through every test.
No matter what, through all the pain,
You’re my first, my last, my endless quest.

Hearts On Fire

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Now I've never seen that look in your eyes
It's like you never wanted to get along
or ever tried to put up a fight

I wake up in some random Airbnb
No clue where I'm at, brain's on freeze
Your perfume's still here, but you're AWOL
Babe, you said you'd stick around, what's the call?

Why'd you dip, girl, left me in a spin?
My heart's like, "Bruh, where you been?"
I'm pining so hard, it's kinda lame
Yo, why, why, why's it a losing game?

Why, why, why, my heart's stuck on you
Muttering your name in my sleep, it's true
I miss your vibe, girl, I'm a total mess
Come back, babe, save me from this stress

All night I'm tossing, feeling kinda rough
Texting the universe, "Yo, hook me up!"
Just slide back into my life, pretty please
You're my chill, my calm, my morning breeze

Got your pic in my wallet, it's crumpled but sweet
Your name's on my tongue, like my favorite beat
Every moment I'm daydreaming 'bout your grin
Your soft little touch—girl, you're my win

I'm whispering your name in my late-night scrolls
DMing the stars, like, "Fix my soul!"
Without you, I'm stumbling, no GPS
Life's a hot mess without your finesse

Why'd you dip, girl, left me in a spin?
My heart's like, "Bruh, where you been?"
I'm pining so hard, it's kinda lame
Yo, why, why, why's it a losing game?

Why, why, why, my heart's stuck on you
Muttering your name in my sleep, it's true
I miss your vibe, girl, I'm a total mess
Come back, babe, save me from this stress

In a crowd, I'm lost, missing your goofy laugh
Searching for your smile, like it's my better half
I spot your charm in strangers, but it's not the same
Girl, you're my sunshine in this dating game

Why'd you dip, girl, left me in a spin?
My heart's like, "Bruh, where you been?"
I'm pining so hard, it's kinda lame
Yo, why, why, why's it a losing game?

Why, why, why, my heart's stuck on you
Muttering your name in my sleep, it's true
I miss your vibe, girl, I'm a total mess
Come back, babe, save me from this stress

I'll wait through TikToks, seasons, and trends
Hoping the cosmos gives us a chance to mend
Praying one day, girl, you'll be back in view
So I can wake up, all heart-eyes, next to you
